Chapter.45.Shanghai 5

Shortly after Old Man Gang Xin and Xi went down to the first floor, a middle-aged woman was in the living room and cleared the items that had been scattered about.

He was a little surprised to find that a strange man was in the house with her father.

"Father, who is this young man? "The woman asked Old Man Gang Xin.

Old Man Gang Xin just nodded. Then, he introduced Xi to the middle-aged woman.

"I introduced you, Song Ran, this young man is Mr. Xi ... He is a business partner of Ms. Young Song." Old Man Gang Xin explained to the woman.

The woman looked curiously at Xi, before finally she nods and smiling.

"Mr. Xi, I will introduce her to you ... This woman is my daughter ... She is Song Ran ... She is Ning'er's mother ... "

Xi just smiled while nodding.

"Greetings ... Auntie ..." Xi said.

The woman just replied to Xi with a more friendly smile on her lips.

"Thank you for coming to our simple hut, Mr. Xi ..." Song Ran said.

.

.

.

"Oh, ya... Father, is Ning'er awake?" Song Ran asked Old Man Gang Xin.

Old Man Xin Gang shook his head.

He then sighed.

"I don't think she's awake ... Or maybe she looks more like she has locked herself in the room for the umpteenth time ... " Old Man Gang Xin complained.

Song Ran just sighed.

She felt that her daughter would still not be able to forget the incident five years ago.

She could not bear to see her daughter continue like that. So, her eyes emit a little emotional there.

"Then ... I thought I would prepare dishes in the kitchen ..." Song Ran said to Old Man Gang Xin.

However, after his daughter walked two steps, Song Ran turned around and asked Old Man Gang Xin again.

"Father ... Will this young man come to dinner with us?" Song Ran asked curiously while looking at Xi.

Meanwhile, Old Man Gang Xin just looked at Xi and gave a big question mark from his eyes.

Xi will be a stingy person if us will relate it to spending money from his wallet. So, he thought and decided he would have dinner at this place. Even though he had rented one of the best hotel rooms in Shanghai he had saved a little on expenses.

Xi has thought, is it possible for the hotel management to give the money back for food of the hotel that he does not consume?

He recalled that some lower class hotels would provide a kind of refund to guests who did not want to eat at the hotel where they were staying.

So, Xi will be sure to nod his head to Ms. Song happily.

"Thank you, auntie ... I don't mind ..." Xi nodded with a smile

-Of course, as long as there is a free word there and you don't trap me to pay for ingredients like a high school devil girl who robbed me a few days ago, I will be sure and very willing to eat at your place.

-Free is free there will never be a reason to reject the word.

***

Xi and Old Man Gang Xin have sat in the living room. The two men sipped the coffee that had been served by Old Man Gang Xin's daughter.

The two men only talked about small problems such as those concerning Old Man Gang Xin's work and other matters relating to the family.

"Old Man Gang Xin, didn't you say yesterday that you worked for the Song family to get justice for your granddaughter?" Xi asked.

Old Man Gang Xin nodded.

"Yes, that is true ... The incident was one year ago since the case of my granddaughter, when the police department stopped the investigation ..."

"Because I am still part of the Song family ... I finally contacted the main family to talk about this matter ... "

Old Man Gang Xin took a breath then sighed again.

"But, I did not get what I wanted ... Because I was a descendant that was actually thrown out by the main family ... So they did not pay attention to the problem I was facing ..."

Old Man Gang Xin recalled the incident a year ago.

"However, I think I'm quite lucky ..." Old Man Gang Xin muttered.

"Lucky ...? "Xi asked.

Old Man Gang Xin nodded.

"At that time ... I accidentally met with Miss Young Song Nanhe ..."

Old Man Gang Xin paused at his words.

"At that time, Young Lady Song Nanhe needed someone to investigate the case of a deadly traffic accident that had befallen her mother and brother ..." explained Old Man Gang Xin.

Xi was quite surprised for a moment to hear Old Gang Gang's words. He never thought that Song Nanhe had a brother.

-Isn't Song Nanhe the only daughter? How can the information from [Restart] be invalid?

So, he asked and compared the information of the [Restart] with the information belonging to Old Man Gang Xin.

"Isn't Miss Young Song a single heir ...?"

Old Man Gang Xin nodded.

"That is true ... But, Ms. Song had previously conceived before marrying her husband ... I don't really understand this matter really ... The main family covers up that reality ..."

"Or maybe I could say that they covered up that reality from the public ..."

Xi looked deeply into Old Man Gang Xin's eyes.

"Old Man Gang Xin, won't young miss Song Nanhe be angry if you tell me this problem?" Xi asked doubtfully.

He did not want his curiosity to make the old man in front of him lose the opportunity to get justice for his granddaughter.

Old Man Gang Xin shook his head.

"No ... that I thought it wouldn't be a problem ... Aren't you a trusted business partner for Miss Young Song, Mr. Xi?" Old Man Gang Xin said.

Although, I said myself as a business partner with Song Nanhe, it was more of an agreement that we made to destroy the two people, Yang Jie and Chu Yana.

-There is no other reason for us if the agreement is over ...

But, he couldn't tell the truth to the old man in front of him. So, Xi just nodded slowly.

"I think it's true I am a trusted partner for Miss Song ..." Xi said.

Old Man Gang Xin just smiled a little.

"I think it's not a problem to tell a little truth ... After all, I think Miss Young Song will tell you someday ..." Old Man Gang Xin said .

***

After they both spent coffee in their cups. Old Man Gang Xin immediately got up then looked full of curiosity at the Xin Gang.

"Mr. Xi, are you interested in going somewhere ...?" Asked Old Man Gang Xin.

Xi tilts his head. He did not understand why Old Man Gang Xin invited him somewhere suddenly.

"To somewhere?"

Old Man Gang Xin nodded.

"Well ... I thought you would be a little boring waiting here for dinner, right? ..." Old Gang Xin said.

-If I thought about it, I think it would bore if I just sat and waited here ...

-I don't think there's a harm in walking for a while. I might stop by and see the Li family's residence later.

Xi nodded.

"Yes, I think it's the best choice ..." Xi said.

Old Man Gang Xin smiled.

***

They drove forty minutes to a suburban part close to Shanghai City.

Although, it is said that the sub-urban is more like a region closer to the suburbs and has many trees along the road.

Old Man Gang Xin parked his car across the street from a warehouse,

The warehouse has zinc walls and is surrounded by a rusty iron fence.

At the front there is a large tree and in front of it is a drum that looks like a trash can.

While outside the gate stood a streetlight pole.

"This ..." Xi muttered curiously.

Old Man Gang Xin nodded.

"That place is the scene of a rape case experienced by my granddaughter ..." Old Man Gang Xin said with a blank stare towards the warehouse.

"..."

The two of them got out of the car and walked towards the warehouse.

"Mr. Xi, can you look at the streetlight pole?" Old Gang Xin asked as his hand pointed towards the streetlight pole.

Xi nodded.

Old Man Gang Xin stared at the streetlight pole.

"Five years ago ... on the streetlight pole there was actually a CCTV that led to the street ..."

"This place was once a storage warehouse for a garment factory ... However, after that incident ... For some reason CCTV on the street light pole was removed from the government CCTV list ..."

"Even though the CCTV was placed there as a surveillance camera if there was a traffic accident sometime ..."

Old Man Gang Xin turned away from the streetlight pole then looked towards a corner near to the streetlight pole.

"The bend is an accident-prone corner ... So, when a traffic accident occurs, the traffic police department will immediately rush to the scene ... So that the traffic accident victims will be dealt with immediately ..."

Old Man Gang Xin paused.

"But, after that incident ... The traffic police said that they had never put CCTV on this streetlight pole ..." Old Gang Xin said sarcastically.

"I actually after the incident about three days asked the traffic police to give me their CCTV footage to prove that the demon girl was the last person to come here and she was the one who brought my granddaughter to this place ... "

However, they told me that they had never installed CCTV at this location ... Really a liar ... "Old Man Gang Xin cursed.

Old Man Gang Xin then gritted his teeth.

He had the disappointment with the law after the problems faced by his granddaughter.

***

They finally entered the warehouse area. Some weeds have flourished. So, the grasses spread even to the rusty walls and fences.

"That bastard man came from inside the warehouse ..."

Old Man Gang Xin pointed towards the warehouse.

"He chased my granddaughter to this large tree area." Old Man Gang Xin said while holding back his anger.

Old Man Gang Xin even bit his lip.

"When my granddaughter told them about this incident to the police department she was even scared and traumatized psychologically ... But, the police didn't believe my granddaughter's confession ..."

Old Man Gang Xin paused for a moment.

Then he looked at Xi again.

"Did you know that the police asked us to bring lawyers, evidence and witnesses so that they could process cases more quickly ..?."

Old Man Gang Xin swallowed his saliva.

He recalled how law enforcers played with the rape cases experienced by his granddaughter.

"We finally hired a lawyer who used to deal with this problem ..."

.

.

.

"But, it was only a few months before the lawyer stopped accompanying us ... He said that he was not brave enough to disturb the devil girl's family ... He said that he still had a child and a wife who still needed him ... So, he apologized to our family ... Then he decided to quit as our lawyer ... "Old Man Gang Xin explained sadly.

He still remembered even when his lawyer begged and prostrated under his family's feet so that their family would forgive him as a lawyer who could not help them.

"In fact, until now we can't hire a lawyer ... That's the truth ... Mr. Xi ..."

For some reason old man Gang Xin stared with red eyes towards Xi.

He suddenly prostrated under Xi's feet.
