Chapter 159 Familiar Faces, Unfamiliar Memories
"Go and find out exactly what Bai Chuhua's daughter's background is," Fu Shiyue said expressionlessly, his voice deep and magnetic.
The secretary stood to the side, nodding respectfully to indicate that he understood the task.
He wondered to himself who this Bai Chuhua's daughter was that could attract such attention from the president.
"Yes, President. I'll arrange for someone to investigate immediately," the secretary replied quickly, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Fu Shiyue nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with his secretary's response. However, his indifferent expression made it difficult to discern his true thoughts.
"I need you to investigate as soon as possible. I need to know the results immediately." Fu Shiyue's tone became increasingly serious, revealing a sense of urgency.
The secretary quickly replied, "Yes, President. I will investigate and give you a detailed report as soon as possible."
What exactly is the relationship between Bai Chuhua's daughter and the CEO? Why is the CEO so eager to know her background?
Despite his many questions, the secretary knew his duty. He decided to act swiftly, mobilizing all resources to find out the truth about Bai Chuhua's daughter as quickly as possible.
Just as the secretary turned to leave, Fu Shiyue added, "This matter must be kept absolutely secret; no one can know about it."
Fu Shiyue sat in his office, gazing intently out the window, the image of that girl constantly flashing through his mind.
He didn't understand why he cared so much about her, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
...
A few hours later, the secretary rushed into the office, clutching a document tightly in her hand—a preliminary investigation report.
His steps seemed somewhat hurried, as if he had something important to report to the president.
Fu Shiyue was focused on the documents in his hand when he heard his secretary's footsteps. He slowly put down the documents, sat up straight, and looked at his secretary with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"President, our investigation has made some progress, but further verification is still needed." The secretary's voice was slightly low. He took a deep breath, composed himself, and then began to give a detailed report.
“Our security guard’s name is Bai Chuhua. He joined the company three months ago. As far as I know, he has a son and a daughter, a brother named Bai Yu and a sister named Bai Wei. However, when Bai Wei was very young, she was separated from her family. Since then, Bai Chuhua and his brother Bai Yu have lived together, relying on each other.”
The secretary paused for a moment, then continued, "However, surprisingly, just three months ago, Bai Chuhua seemed to have found his long-lost daughter, Bai Wei."
Fu Shiyue listened quietly, his face showing little change in expression, but inwardly he was pondering the connections and possibilities involved.
The secretary continued, "According to my investigation, their lives have always been peaceful, and they haven't had any dealings with any particular people. That's all I have at the moment, Mr. Fu."
After speaking, the secretary handed the report to Fu Shiyue and then stood quietly to the side, awaiting the president's instructions.
Thinking back, Ye Xingran had been missing for three whole months. During this long period, there was no news of her at all, as if she had simply vanished into thin air.
However, during those three months, Bai Chuhua suddenly found his daughter who had been missing for many years.
The timing of these two events is so coincidental that it makes one wonder if there is some connection between them.
Upon closer examination, the timing of Bai Wei's appearance coincides with the time of Ye Xingran's disappearance. Is this merely a simple coincidence?
Perhaps Ye Xingran is not dead; she is still alive and right beside him!
Once this thought arises, it spreads like wildfire in the heart, making it impossible to suppress the excitement and anticipation within.
"Tell me quickly, where do they live?" he asked impatiently, wanting to find Bai Wei immediately to confirm whether she was Ye Xingran.
Every word was filled with anxiety and longing, as if knowing their address would solve the mystery and lead to Ye Xingran's whereabouts.
“They live in Haihua Residential Area,” the secretary said thoughtfully. “That place is an old district, and the environment is just so-so.”
He paused for a moment, as if recalling what the place was like. "The houses there were quite old, the streets were rather narrow, and the surrounding facilities weren't very complete. However, although the environment was just average, it still had a strong sense of local life, with many small shops and food stalls."
Upon hearing this, he immediately put down the documents in his hand, got up, and left.
Fu Shiyue rushed to Haihua Community in a great hurry.
The old buildings looked somewhat dilapidated in the night, and he inquired about the Bai Chuhua family's residence in the narrow streets.
Finally, he found the dilapidated door, took a deep breath, and knocked on it.
The door slowly opened, and the face of an unfamiliar boy appeared before him.
Bai Yu looked at the man in the suit in front of him; he exuded an extraordinary air. "Who are you?" he asked Fu Shiyue warily.
Fu Shiyue looked at the boy in front of him. This person should be Bai Chuhua's son, Bai Yu.
"Fu Shiyue, CEO of the Fu Group."
A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Yu's eyes. He wondered what was going on, that the president of Fu's Group had come to his house in person.
But he quickly regained his guard: "Mr. Fu, what brings you here?"
Fu Shiyue tried to keep his tone calm: "I want to find Bai Wei. There are some things I want to ask her."
Upon hearing that they were looking for Bai Wei, Bai Yu frowned:
“My sister isn’t home. You can tell me what’s wrong.”
"This needs to be discussed with her directly. When is she coming back?"
Bai Yu looked him up and down: "I don't know when she'll be back. You're in such a hurry to find her, you don't have any bad intentions, do you?"
Just then, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from inside the house: "Brother, who is it?" Fu Shiyue's heart jumped into his throat, and he saw a girl slowly walk out of the house.
When he finally saw the girl's face clearly, his breath caught in his throat. Those eyebrows, those expressions—it was Ye Xingran!
When the girl saw Fu Shiyue, a flicker of panic crossed her eyes. Before Fu Shiyue could speak, she suddenly turned and ran into the house. Fu Shiyue, realizing what was happening, quickly followed her inside…
However, just as he was about to step through the door, a figure appeared as swiftly as a ghost and blocked his way.
Fu Shiyue looked closely and saw that it was Bai Yu! Bai Yu's face was frosty, and his eyes were as cold as ice blades in the cold night. He stared straight at Fu Shiyue as if he wanted to pierce him.
"You can't go in!" Bai Yu's voice was deep and firm, filled with undisguised hostility. "My sister doesn't know you at all. Your sudden intrusion will only frighten her!"
Fu Shiyue was extremely anxious, with only one thought in his mind—to see the woman who haunted his dreams.
He completely ignored Bai Yu's attempts to stop him, struggling to push him away, and anxiously shouted, "Get out of the way! I have something to say to her!"
"Impossible! Even the president of the Fu Group can't just barge into someone's home. Is there no other way?!"
Bai Chuhua heard some noises coming from the doorway and was somewhat surprised, so he quickly went out to check the situation.
When he saw that it was Fu Shiyue standing at his door, his face was full of disbelief.
At this moment, Bai Yu was standing in front of Fu Shiyue, and the atmosphere between the two was tense, as if a conflict could break out at any moment.
Upon seeing this, Bai Chuhua quickly stepped forward and asked in astonishment, "Mr. Fu, why are you at my house?" He couldn't understand why this distinguished boss would suddenly appear at his doorstep and even seem to be arguing with his son.
Bai Chuhua's gaze swept back and forth between Fu Shiyue and Bai Yu, trying to find some clues from their expressions and actions.
However, both of them remained silent, simply staring at each other, neither willing to speak first.
"I need to see your daughter, Bai Wei!" His voice boomed like thunder, sending a shiver down my spine. His tone was urgent and anxious, as if the matter had reached a point of no return. "Immediately, right now!" he repeated, seemingly emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
"Dad, we absolutely can't let her see Weiwei! Look how scared Weiwei was just now, how could she possibly be here to visit her? I think she's just here to cause trouble!"
Just then, the door to Bai Wei's room slowly opened.
All eyes turned to the doorway, where Bai Wei stood quietly, but did not come to greet the guests as usual.
She just stood there quietly, as if isolated from the world outside the door.
Fu Shiyue stood at the door, only a short distance away from Bai Wei.
However, the two of them seemed to be frozen in place, neither of them moving an inch, just silently staring at each other.
Fu Shiyue gazed at Ye Xingran, who was just a few steps away, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Fu Shiyue sneered: "Ye Xingran, do you think I wouldn't recognize you just because you changed your identity? You disappeared without a word three months ago, and now you're hiding here disguised as Bai Wei. What exactly are you trying to do?"
"I'm not the Ye Xingran you're talking about. My name is Bai Wei. I have absolutely no memory of anything from before, including you." Bai Wei looked at the man in front of her blankly, her eyes filled with unfamiliarity and confusion.
Seeing this, Bai Chuhua quickly explained, "President Fu, you may have really mistaken me for someone else. My daughter's name is Bai Wei, she is my and my wife's child, she could never be the person you are talking about."
His tone was very respectful, as if he was somewhat wary of this man.
At this moment, Bai Wei was like a blank sheet of paper, completely unaware of her past. She also didn't understand why this man had mistaken her for someone else.
She felt her mind was completely blank, as if all her memories had been erased.
