20. The 38th day before death (2)

"Daoxiang Tea Workshop" is on the edge of the West Third Ring Road, not far from the business district where Zheng's is located, where the environment is beautiful, not to mention the confidentiality is excellent, and it is a place where Zheng Ze often goes to talk about business.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the traffic was smooth, and Zheng Ze drove out of the most congested commercial center all the way, and the time was just right when he arrived at the tea house.

I came to the small private room on the second floor, pushed open the door and saw that Lao K was already waiting.

Lao K is a man in his forties, I heard that he was a soldier in the north in his early years, and he was a scout, and he reacted very quickly. He was not tall, lean, and had a half-slap scar on his face, which looked a little fierce.

"Looks like I'm still late." Zheng Ze bowed his head politely, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Zheng Ze." ”

"Hello Mr. Zheng." Old K stood up and shook him back, although there was no expression on his face, everyone who knew him knew that his expression at the moment should be quite soft.

Zheng Ze actually saw Lao K when he was a child, but he was too young at that time, and Father Zheng didn't allow him to contact that group of people, so he could only watch from a distance and recognize his familiar face. In addition, when Daddy Zheng broke up with Lao K, he happened to be abroad, so Zheng Ze actually had no direct contact with Lao K, and this time it was almost the first time they met.

Since Zheng Ze was going back to the company later, the two of them were not ambiguous, and after sitting down, they went straight to the point and got down to business.

"Mr. Zheng, I want to show you this first." Lao K took out an iPad and handed it to Zheng Ze, explaining: "These are the life experiences I found based on the information you provided, from birth to work, everything recorded in the file is here." ”

"Okay." Zheng Ze didn't rush to ask Lao K why he called him over, so he took the iPad and looked through it carefully.

Lao K is worthy of being one of the best in the industry, and he is not only fast but also very comprehensive. The information he checked was arranged according to the timeline, the regulations were clear and detailed, Zheng Ze understood it at a glance, and quickly found the information he wanted.

The first page of the information is the personal profile of the respondent, starting with a personal photo of Zhang Yu Yixin, with a blue background, which was taken when he was enrolled in college.

Yu Yixin in the photo still looks very young, his eyebrows and eyes have not grown, and his hair is very short against his scalp. Looking at the camera, he didn't know what he thought at the time, and he was even a little distracted when he took the picture, and when he recorded it, he became a wandering appearance.

But it was such a casual photo, but Zheng Ze couldn't help laughing when he saw it. He always thought that Yu Yixin was young and old, and he always looked like he owed me a dollar all over the world since he met, but he didn't expect that Yu Yixin would be so harmless to humans and animals a few years ago. Not to mention, Yu Yixin, who is green and soft and cute, and still has two acne on his forehead, looks much cuter than now. Zheng Ze, who looked at the pink little face, was about to move his thumb, and he couldn't help but want to pinch it.

It's a pity that that person is Yu Yixin, let alone pinching it now, it's okay if the two don't quarrel when they meet, and-for-tat is even more common. But it's not right to say it carefully, it's all a matter of the previous life, the two of them are very polite when they meet twice in this life, Zheng Ze is no longer pressing step by step, and Yu Yixin is no longer deliberately avoiding, but the two are relatively often speechless, and they have really become familiar strangers.

Zheng Ze lingered on the cover photo for a while, then looked behind him. In fact, his expression was quite indifferent at first, but the more he saw it, the tighter his brows became.

Zheng Ze only knew that Yu Yixin was very good before, and he didn't know until he saw the award-winning experience in the row on his resume that what he knew in order to please that person was just a drop in the bucket, and he had never seen the real Yu Yixin clearly.

Yu Yixin's resume is quite luxurious compared to the average graduate. Born in a small county town in the northwest, he has been a frequent visitor to the list of winners of various competitions since high school, and his achievements in college are even more brilliant, including almost all the first prizes in competitions in his major, and he has won a scholarship. Zheng Ze knew that Yu Yixin was actually very suitable for being a leader, so he was not surprised when he saw the various clubs and student unions experienced during school.

It's just that with Yu Yixin's achievements, it is easy to study in Baoyan, and it is not difficult to go to a better company, but at that time, he gave up his qualification for Baoyan and wanted to enter Zheng's family wholeheartedly. Zheng Ze didn't understand it before, but now that he thinks about it, it's a little subtle.

But this was not the focus of Zheng Ze's attention, his finger stayed in the column of Yu Yixin's family composition for a long time, and only after a long time did he raise his head and ask, "Yu Yixin is an orphan?" ”

"Yes." Lao K nodded and added, "To be precise, his family should be counted as a single-parent family." Only his mother's information was found in the household registration file, and the father's column was empty from the beginning. Moreover, his mother also passed away a few years ago. ”

"When?" Zheng Ze calculated the date of death in his mother's column, and the answer was......

"It wasn't long before I started college." Old K replied.

"No wonder ......" Zheng Ze muttered in a low voice, no wonder Yu Yixin was so absent-minded when he took that entrance photo, it turned out that something happened to his mother.

Zheng Ze suddenly understood Yu Yixin's changes over the years, because he, like Yu Yixin, had a huge change in his mentality after losing his mother. During that time, he was lonely and helpless, he was noisy all day long to see his mother, but he was only told again and again that his mother was dead and would never come back.

He was actually grown up at that time, and he also knew the meaning of death, and his hoarse call was actually just to vent the pain in his heart, and every time it backfired. The adults told him to be sensible, to be well-behaved, and to be independent, but no one told him what to do in the future.

But fortunately, he also had a father, although Father Zheng was very incompetent, but he still gave him a home, and he grew up under his father's protection until he was completely independent. But Yu Yixin was not as lucky as him, he lost his mother, so he lost it, and since then he has been lonely and alone, and he has no home anymore.

At this moment, Zheng Ze's feeling in his heart was very subtle, and he suddenly felt a little sorry for Yu Yixin, and felt sorry for the young man who once had a bright smile. However, when he returned to reality and thought of the current situation of the two, he seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, and his heart was completely cold.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to himself, how could he be soft-hearted for a moment and forget what Yu Yixin did in his previous life? Those injuries and betrayals he can't forget until he dies, there is no retreat between them, and there is only a dead end left.

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Ze turned off his Ipad and looked up at Lao K and said in a deep voice, "So...... You asked me to come here just to sue me about this? ”

"Of course it's more than that." Old K shook his head and took out a notebook from his bag. That book is obviously old, and the shell is mottled and shedding a lot of skin, but the good thing is that it is still intact when it is opened.

Lao K unfolded the book, turned to a certain page, and then turned to Zheng Ze and said, "Mr. Zheng, you should know that I have known Ling Zun for many years. Although I have rarely appeared in front of you in recent years, in fact, I have always been in contact with Ling Zun. I have never slackened off on the things entrusted to me by Mr. Zheng, although I have not been able to complete the task before, but fortunately, the emperor has paid off. ”

"What did my dad entrust you?" Zheng Ze looked over puzzled, full of doubts. His father has already traveled around the world to let himself go, how can he still entrust Lao K to do things, and for so many years?

But Lao K's answer was yes: "Yes, in fact, Mr. Zheng gave me the task more than 20 years ago." ”

Lao K is already old, and his eyes are a little cloudy, but at this moment his eyes are so bright: "He wants me to help him find a woman named Cai Qing." It's just that the information provided by Ling Zun was limited back then, and there was nothing else such as address and name, so for so many years, although I have not given up searching, I have always found nothing. But I didn't expect that the world is so wonderful, and the person I couldn't find for so many years was found because of Mr. Zheng. Fate, it's really fate......"

Lao K was still happy about the completion of the task, but when Zheng Ze heard the name, there was a buzzing in his head, and he suddenly lost his ability to think.

Cai Qing, Cai Qing......

How could it be her?

Zheng Zeru was struck by lightning, because Yu Yixin's deceased mother's name was Cai Qing.
