Qin Huai nodded solemnly. Zhao Youlin did not know what to say at that moment. After a long while, she finally said gloomily, “So, from the very beginning, you approached me with a purpose. At that time, you were
already treating me as Officer Zhao’s substitute?”
Qin Huai’s hands that were hanging in front of him unconsciously clenched because of Zhao Youlin’s words. He said self-deprecatingly, “It’s a bit unpleasant to call it a substitution. However, if I didn’t think so at that
time, I wouldn’t have been able to walk out of my house. Moreover, don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence, Ms. Zhao? To share the same name… Most people would make that connection. Even now, I still have
some doubts about this. Why did Ms. Zhao investigate those people in the police station at that time? And later… under normal circumstances, very few people would investigate such dangerous, highly-trained
individuals, right? Especially by one team at a time.”
Zhao Youlin’s heart skipped a beat. She had no excuses. She could only equivocate, “Actually, that information wasn’t what I wanted. A friend of mine did. Well, since his identity is also sensitive, he can’t reveal himself
easily. It shows that he doesn’t want others to know about his identity, so I can only tell you this much. But I was just passing on the investigation request of a friend as a middleman. Instead, it was a coincidence that let
to this misunderstanding.”
“So it’s… so it’s like that!” Qin Huai muttered in a low voice. She didn’t know if he really heard her, or if he half believed her.
Zhao Youlin’s heart was beating fast. Fortunately, Qin Huai didn’t dwell on this issue for too long. He continued, “On the day we met, I had been secretly observing your every move. I saw that you order the purest of
black coffees just like her. | saw your mannerisms while drinking the coffee. I…”
Zhao Youlin’s heart skipped a beat. No wonder this guy had been pressing her step by step the second time they met. Moreover, the tone of his words suggested clearly that he had investigated her before this. It turned
out that he had already begun to suspect her at that time!
Zhao Youlin’s fingertips, which were hanging on the edge of her thigh, trembled a few times imperceptibly, but she did not show it on her face. She knew that this was the most critical moment, and if she was not
careful, she could slip up… and it was very likely that the person opposite her would take notice, and then all her previous efforts would be overturned. All her previous efforts would be wasted, and she would return to
the starting point.
“In that case, there is some fate that ties me to that Officer Zhao. It’s a pity that she has already… Otherwise, I would have really liked to meet her,” Zhao Youlin said with a sigh. Then, she changed the topic, “Speaking
of which, do you believe in such a phenomenon?”
“What?”
“There are about six billion people in the world. Among them, there are thousands of people with the same name and surname, and there are also thousands of people who look very similar to you. People who look
similar to you may not have the same preferences and personalities as you, but people with the same name and surname as you often share astonishing similarities with you in certain aspects. Science does not know
how to explain this phenomenon, but this phenomenon actually exists.”
It was true that Qin Huai was swayed by Zhao Youlin’s words. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly. “I see. At that time, I was a little excited and thought that you…”
Zhao Youlin laughed lightly. She took the initiative to snatch the truth. “Did you think that I was her reincarnation, or did you think that I was possessed by her ghost? You don’t strike me as one who easily believes in
such supernatural superstition.”
Qin Huai smiled bitterly. “When all else fails, one would grasp at thin air to believe in anything. Rather than believing in ghosts, they would be the ones who seem to have been possessed themselves. Once they decide
on something, they would go down a dark path, especially when they run into anything that resembles the one… such as your skill in firearms.”
Zhao Youlin’s expression changed, but she quickly recovered. “Um, I should have explained that to you before this, right?”
“Yes.” Qin Huai raised his head and took a deep breath, “But at that time, I didn’t think of any other possibility. The moment I saw you shoot. I only thought that if she was still here, she would have looked like you when
she shot. She looked straight ahead and only saw her prey. She was so domineering, but I couldn’t take my eyes off her. Her eyes were so filled with anger.”
Zhao Youlin was stunned. Suddenly, she felt a little pain in her throat, so much so that she couldn’t speak.
Silence spread between the two of them bit by bit. Finally, Qin Huai opened his mouth again. There was a hint of mockery in his laughter. “I’m sorry. I’ve said so many unnecessary things to you. I don’t know why I want
to tell you these things so much. After all, I’ve never told anyone about these things. Whether it’s my family or my brothers and friends, I’ve never told them.”
At first, it was because he felt embarrassed. As a man, he had a crush on a girl, but he didn’t even dare to approach her. No matter how he looked at it, it sounded a little lame.
Later, it was because she was already gone, so there was no need to say these things anymore.
“But after saying these things, I suddenly feel much more relaxed. It’s as if I told you, and indirectly she has also heard my words. This feeling…” In the end, he still said it, she was no longer the only one who knew. She
could not tell anyone and could only bury it in the bottom of her heart.
Qin Huai’s face showed some relief. Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Zhao Youlin apologetically and said hurriedly, “I’m sorry, Ms. Zhao. I didn’t mean to offend you by saying these words. I just…
just…”
Looking at Qin Huai’s rare flustered look, Zhao Youlin suddenly felt relieved. She burst into laughter. “It’s okay. Since you shared such a big secret with me, I can make an exception at this last moment and allow you to
treat me as her temporarily as the closure of this misunderstanding. However, it’s only limited to this meeting.”
Qin Huai was stunned for a moment before he slowly smiled. There was joy and relief in his smile, but more of it was of serenity. It was as if the heavy burden on his shoulders was suddenly relieved.
“I’ve exhausted you, Ms. Zhao. Now, it’s time to talk about some serious business.” Qin Huai took some time to adjust his emotions and quickly returned to his usual gentle and elegant self. He took a document bag from
the side and handed it to Zhao Youlin.
Zhao Youlin took the document bag, but she didn’t open it immediately. Instead, she put it aside.
Qin Huai was a little surprised. “Ms. Zhao, why don’t you open it first?”.
