Sealed Memory

Old Master Cui sat in the courtyard for more than ten minutes, not moving.

Uncle Li walked up gently and said in a low voice, "Old Master! Just let today's matter pass. Don't ruin your health."

Old Master Cui came back to his senses and looked at the old man who had been with him for his entire life. He said, "Ah Mai, this child, he's really been through a lot. I wonder what wrong did our family do?"

"But Young Master Ah Mai also escaped this time. As the saying goes, if you don't die in a great disaster, you will definitely be blessed in the future. Young Master Ah Mai's blessings are in the future. Master, don't worry!"

"But Ah Mai is already six years old. He still doesn't know how to speak or recognize people. His regular mannerisms don't seem like those of a normal child. I don't know what will happen to him in the future. I don't have many years left to take care of him!" Old Master Cui became sad.

"Master, don't think too much. He's in the Cui family, how bad will he be in the future? Young Master is also a capable person. Let him bear the responsibility for the rest." Uncle Li poured a cup of nourishing Kuding tea for Cui Lao and poured a cup for himself. He sat on a chair beside Old Master Cui.

Although they were master and servant, they grew up together and were as close as brothers. The two old men in their seventies often sat down like this to chat and recall the past.

"Ah Zhong, I met Ah Jin today!" Old Master Cui seemed to be recalling something and suddenly said faintly.

Uncle Li exclaimed, "Master, you?"

Cui Lao retracted his expression and smiled bitterly. "I saw a young lady who looked like Ah Jin today."

Uncle Li finally understood. "Master, don't be too sad. Let the past be the past!"

"Help me investigate the Gu family in Han City, a young lady called Gu Man. She looks 80% like Ah Jin. I have a feeling that they must have some relationship."

"But Miss passed away 45 years ago. How is that possible?" Uncle Li was puzzled.

"But there's still a possibility, right?"

Hearing this, Uncle Li stood up excitedly and raised his voice. "You're saying that Miss was actually not killed by them?"

"Now that I think about it, is there no such possibility? Think about the situation back then." Old Master Cui was also a little excited.

Uncle Li sat down and looked down at the sea, it was as if he was looking at what had happened back then.

Back then, the old master and his wife also brought their three-year-old daughter out to such a sea. They did not expect to meet pirates and the young miss was held hostage and used to threaten them for money. In the end, the money was paid, but the pirate said that the hostage fell into the water and drowned.

Madam could not withstand such a blow and followed after her a year later. The Old Master endured it for the sake of the Cui family, but only Uncle Li knew that after so many years, he had always been thinking about his youngest daughter and his wife. He was unwilling to marry again after Madam died.

Cui Lao continued, "At that time, we didn't investigate further because we were sad, but at that time, that was what the pirates said. We didn't see Jin'er fall into the water."

"So, you suspect that Miss is not dead. That young lady might be Miss's daughter?" Uncle Li voiced his guess.

"That's indeed what I think, so help me investigate her. As soon as possible!"

"Yes," Uncle Li said and stood up. "Let's go have our meal first."

Old Master Cui thought that he might still have a granddaughter in the human world, and his mood instantly improved.

Besides, even if she was not his granddaughter in the end, he could still treat her as his granddaughter. After all, she had saved the Cui family.

At the dining table, Cui Hong clearly felt that the atmosphere was not so tense anymore. He secretly looked at the old man and realized that he was smiling faintly. Cui Hong was immediately surprised. He was still so serious and terrifying just now, but why did he look… kind now?

Cui Hong did not want to use kindness to describe this old man who was so swift and decisive in the business world, but for now, this was the most appropriate word.

Did something happen?
