Chapter 24

Qing Li had never cared about her looks, perhaps because she lived in a family with a chaotic bloodline, and she didn’t realize that there was anything special about her looks.

Even though she was exclaimed to be white since she was a child, she thought it was because of heredity, because as far as she remembered, her mother was a person with a fair complexion.

Her height is at least one meter six eight, in Southeast Asian women high very prominent, although tall, but the overall skeleton is very slender, shoulders straight and slightly narrow, waist excessively slender, not very prominent hip bone, look is a thin and long one.

Eyebrow peaks slightly raised, eyebrow arch is higher, appear to be very deep eyes, double eyelid crease obvious, the end of the eye up, similar to the gray eyes in the sunlight will bring some blue, look at the upper half of the face hybrid features are very obvious, coupled with the fact that she is not a pointed chin, the front of the face is very small, but you can see some angular jawbone, so the overall permeated by a wave of indifference and perseverance, there is a kind of austere can not be offended feeling.

This is the reason why she looks like the young man named Valentin Yeager in the photo.

But only the nose and lips are different, not the common European kind of big nose and thin lips, her nose is small and slightly curved, lips are moist and soft, is a typical Asian looks, white face is lined with black hair, but also shows some tenderness.

Yue Zhi cocked a leg and leaned on the sofa, his eyes quietly looked at the opposite expression of mute, broken eyes of Qing Li, her looks he is quite like, but also for the first time to know her identity, it was detected wrong, so it will let people to check.

Aonashi stared blankly at the gilt-framed mirror on the decorative mantle across the room; she couldn’t tell exactly what she looked like, but for the first time she realized that something was wrong with her looks.

“I don’t think your mother was even sure whose baby she was carrying at first, so during the pregnancy she self . Mutilated herself several times, this is the hospital visit record.” Yue Zhi put down the two pieces of paper, “But she hasn’t been to the hospital since you were born.”

Because there was a child, there was also a handle, accepting her fate more submissively, giving up all resistance and struggle.

Qing Li abruptly stood up from the sofa, it was like there was a meat grinder in her stomach, strangling her internal organs to shatter and squeeze like pain, she wanted to curl up into a ball and hug herself tightly, but she was too stiff to move.

No wonder, no wonder her mother had looked so pained when she had said she liked her father so much.

No wonder after her mother’s death, Hansa Qing never came to see her once.

No wonder those servants would ignore and treat her coldly with such reckless disregard, because they could all see that she, the Qing family’s eldest young lady, actually had no relationship with the Qing family at all.

No wonder Qing Sudi would say such treacherous and reckless words and do such things.

“My mom she ……” what she actually went through, Qing Li did not dare to think about it, her voice was a little shaky, “she is very beautiful, very gentle …… “She was such a good mom.

She was willing to accept everything to live for her daughter, and in the end why did she despair and choose to give up her life?

Yue Zhi raised his eyes to look at her, got up and came to her side, took her hand and touched her head, “You’re already tired and weak, rest for the night, let’s talk about the rest tomorrow.”

Qing Li held his hand back tightly, as if she had found a little bit of reliance in the midst of the shock, she glanced at Yue Zhi, but her eyes were devoid of any expression, and she did not react to Yue Zhi’s words.

“I’ll send you up.” Yue Zhi pulled her upstairs and settled her on the bed, covering her with the quilt, “Sleep well.”

Qing Li opened her sleepy eyes, “Mr. ……”

“I am.”

“That man, Valentin, does he know I exist, does he know my mother is dead?” Qing Li asked, “You said he goes to Indonesia unusually often, could he be going there because of my mom?”

Yue Zhi rubbed the back of her hand covered with a thin layer of skin, “I don’t know, I can help you check, why do you want to know this, do you want to go find your father?”

“No.” Qing Li slowly closed her eyes, “I only want to know, my mother she …… has never been truly loved by a person, has anyone ever truly looked forward to my birth.”

Yue Zhi didn’t say anything, just quietly sat by the bedside.

Qing Li’s breathing soon soothed and evened out, these days she had experienced a lot, there were still skin wounds on her body that she had suffered when Qing Sudi’s car flipped over, she was already very tired, even after knowing such a truth, her heart was in chaos, and her spirit was in pain, she still fell asleep very quickly.

Yue Zhi put her hand back to the quilt, looked sideways at the glass frame hanging on the other wall, inside was the Barbie pink “Ghost” crossbow he gave Qing Li last year.

Chen Sai once said in the base, Qingli’s aim is very good, but when choosing weapons, it is always out of place, as if instinctively, she will always subconsciously choose the less lethal weapons, such as crossbows and other weapons, pistols are also small caliber.

This room is very large and empty, the wall opposite the bed is a whole wall of bookcases, inside there are many general knowledge science books, there are also many gifts given to her by people in the base.

A limited edition motorcycle helmet from Chen Sai, a set of crystal cups worth a lot of money from Mongoma, headphones from Elephant, a Transformer model with glowing eyes that could talk from Falcon, and many other things.

All of them were placed on that shelf.

Yue Zhi had looked down at Qing Li, the woman in front of her looked cold and reticent, ruthless and venomous when carrying out missions, and appeared to be cool in the face of feelings, but she was actually the same as her mother.

Because of the softness of her heart, her mother couldn’t let go of her daughter of unknown origin, bearing insults and pain, she was taken advantage of by Hansa Qing, and was toyed with by men.

Qing Li’s mouth does not say but the good of each person is memorized, as if on the bookshelf in the heart, so that it will be soft to Rebel; the mission is also first threatened, to see the attitude of the other party before deciding whether to use force.

It was clear that he hadn’t lived an easy life for a single day in the past ten years or so, yet he still expected Valentin to give his mother a little bit of his heart.

“A sword with a weak point is not a good weapon ah ……” Yue Zhi whispered and got up to leave.

Qing Li had a nightmare.

She dreamt of a woman with a blurred face, collapsed on the ground, surrounded by a circle of men making beast-like noises surrounding her, torturing her, sliding her skin open with a knife and tearing her clothes.

The woman’s mouth was wide open, but she couldn’t make any sound, her body was resisting, trying to struggle violently, but she could barely move.

Perspective a little closer, Qing Li saw something under the woman’s body, and then looked more closely, it was clearly a child’s hand covering the woman’s mouth, the other limbs wrapped around the woman’s body, imprisoning her, the proportions were confusing and bizarre.

She tried to see who the woman really was, and who the child was, but suddenly a tiny face moved out from under the woman, two eyes as unreflective as stone, skin cracked and weathered, grinning an eerie smile.

It was unmistakably her infant self!

She was so scared that her eyes were all opened in an instant, haphazardly reaching out her hand to try to dislodge that horrible face in her dream, her scared cold hand was caught by a pair of big warm palms.

It was Yue Zhi.

“Mr. ……” Qing Li looked around blankly and saw that the sky outside was already bright and the clock on the table showed that it was already nine in the morning.

The palpitations were still there, and she was breathing heavily, panting slightly . Breathing heavily, she reached up and pressed her hand to her chest, her heart still beating rapidly.

She couldn’t remember when she’d fallen asleep last night, “You were …… all night.”

“No.” Yue Zhi said with a smile, pulling her to sit up, “You’re still up at this hour, I just came up to see if you were sick.”

“Thank you sir.” Qing Li said.

It was enough, even if she came in a second before she woke up from a nightmare, it was enough.

“How’s your body, is there any discomfort?”

Qing Li felt it for a while, other than her shoulder which was a little sore yesterday because she smashed into the roof of the car, there was nothing else wrong, she silently shook her head.

Yue Zhi looked at her, sensing that her emotions still hadn’t calmed down, “Do you still want to continue listening, some other things.”

Qing Li nodded her head without hesitation.

Yue Zhi was satisfied, he was because of this that’s why he didn’t even go to Singapore for work today, since he had already started, he shouldn’t stop until he learns the final truth, hesitation and entanglement is useless.

After washing up, Qing Li sat on the same couch as last night again, she slightly tilted her head so that she could see her face in the mirror, looking away from her, her strangest pair of eyes were actually just a normal dark color, but once this distance was less than two meters, anyone could tell that she had a strange pair of grey eyes.

“Your mother was not the only victim at the hands of Hansa Qing.” Yue Zhi said, “The Qing family has been secretly engaging in human trafficking activities for many years now, Southeast Asia is already a hard-hit area for human trafficking, and the Qing family’s involvement in it is no exception.”

“Vito.” Yue Zhi put down a photo of Mrs. Vito when she was young on the table, “She was originally a low-level snakehead in the population trade, people over here preferred fair-skinned Asians or whites, she was then specializing in being a bait in Eastern Europe, deceiving girls of the same age, and it was because of this that she met Hansa Ching and became his third wife.”

“It’s hard to believe that my mother is her …… No, the age shouldn’t be right.” Green Pear dismissed her thoughts.

Vito is but thirty-eight years old, eighteen or nineteen years old when she followed Hansa Qing, her mother was trafficked to the college students, was to Hansa Qing hands two years before giving birth to her, twenty-two years ago when she was just trafficked over, Vito is but sixteen years old, should still be in Europe.

“That’s right, your mother’s abduction has nothing to do with Vito.” Yue Zhi said, “But your mother’s death has nothing to do with her.”

“What do you mean?”

Yue Zhi hesitated before asking, “Do you remember what your mother died because of? Or rather, do you know how she killed herself . . killed herself?”

Qing Li stiffened her neck and nodded, “I only remember that she was taken to the hospital, and when she was brought back, she was lying on the bed with a white cloth covering her body, and then I never saw her again, and it was only later that I heard that she drank pesticide from the tool shed in the rubber plantation.”

“I have a treatment record here that shows that your mother died of craniocerebral injury combined with organ failure.” Yue Zhi took out a file.

Aonashi stared at the pages dead on, not moving.

“That is to say, she died due to trauma, and didn’t drink pesticide, the injury site is at the back of the head, this location …… is either an accident or a high fall, but she didn’t have any fractures or injuries in other locations, it’s most likely that… …”

“Being hit from behind with a blunt object.” Aonashi said.
