Chapter 39 - Past Records

Tossing and turning in the bed with the thoughts in Chen Xin's mind was causing the headache to come back again. "An" was all that he could remember.

The thoughts on his mind went from the name to his past. Doing his best, he recalled the friends that he met after waking up from his Coma, no one had mentioned An. Neither did they ever mentioned or asked about where his wife was or what happened to his wife. It was as if all traces and evidence had been removed completely.

Just as he grab his phone wanting to call his assistant, his phone rang. Seeing that it is Wen Hao on the other line, he was glad about this coincidence.

"Get to the point Wen Hao."

"Yes Sir. The meeting had been scheduled for the site visit tomorrow and Mr Han asked if you will be joining them for dinner tonight to celebrate his daughter's 100th day birthday celebration. He said to inform you that he wants you to be there because there is something that he need to pass to you."

"Tell him I'll be there. Wen Hao, can you help me to retrieve the records of my high school and everyone that I used to study with before my graduation?"

"Sir, why the sudden need to do this? I remembered your mother had said befor that the records had been sealed by someone and we dont know who it is. It seem that person is very influential in the country. Didn't we also tried to get the information last year and was pushed aside? The school did not even look at us. They kicked us out everytime we sent someone down to look into this. Don't you remember this Sir?"

"Yes I do. But there are things that I need to find out. Do something about it. See what are the details you can get for me. Do it discreetly. Update me if you find anything. I don't care how small it is. I need to know."

"I understand. Sir, did you remember anything? What happened during the will reading?"

"Do you need to know? Just do your job as instructed. I'm sure I don't need to replace you."

Pissed, Chen Xin hanged up the call.

"Sir -"

Wen Hao stared at his phone. Speechless, he was not sure how to react at that moment. This was not the first time that Chen Xin barked off an instruction and hang up on him but he has been instructed by Mrs Chen, Chen Xin's mother, to talk her son out of it in the event that he is asking to dig out records on his past and especially if it relates to his school days and about the young Mrs Chen that had passed on.

Heaving a sigh, he called Mrs Chen to inform her about this and hope that she can give him some newer ideas to stop Chen Xin.

Within 2 rings and the call was picked up.

"Mrs Chen it is me, Wen Hao."

"Yes I know. Anything happened? Did Xin tell you about the reading yet? I have been waiting for an update the whole morning. I can't call him. If I did I'll be scolded by him. So do you have anything?"

"Nothing Mrs Chen. Sir told me nothing. He only told me to look into his High School records. Madam, I'm not sure if I can hold him off much longer. This is not the first time this is happening and I'm not sure if we can carry on hiding things from him. Why don't we-"

"No. We can't tell him anything. If he remembers her, he might not get married again. I don't want to see my son hurt anymore. The time when she was abducted before they got married, that was enough pain for a lifetime. I don't want to see how broken he will be when he remembers it all."

"But Mrs Chen-"

"Wen Hao, this is my family business. I will decide what is best for my son. So just do what you are told. Find an excuse to cover it up again. I don't want him to know anything yet. Maybe after he has found someone else and have settled down, then I'll decide whether to let him know."

"I understand."

She hangs up the call and wonder what happened during the Will reading that caused this to be triggered.

Back in Shen Mansion's guest room. The thoughts were troubling Chen Xin's mind.

He looked at his phone and dialled Sally's number.

"Hey Baby, missed mummy yet?"

The greeting never fails to put a scowl on his face.

"Haven't you had enough of trearing this like a role play? Don't you have a boyfriend now?"

"Yes I do. He is just beside me. I love this role play thing. It always gets on your nerves and I like to walk all over those nerves of yours and irritate you. This is part of my entertainment you know?"

"Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. I need-"
