Chapter 40 - Past Records

"Wow Mister. I'm sure you don't need to ask. Usually I can't even help myself and you have to sponsor me my meals. Why should I even give you the chance to ask me for help? Bitch, get a grip. I am never giving you money."

If Sally is standing in front of Chen Xin right now he would love to grab onto her neck with both hands and not let go until she went limp.

"Before I erupt. I am warning you. No more of that shit." He was hissing out these words as he stare at the vase that was sitting on the night stand.

"Oh... Damn. That's too fast. I haven't play enough yet. So what do you want High and Mighty Mr Chen."

"Sally, I remembered calling her An..."

As he spoke, he told her everything that had happened excluding everything about the contents of the Inheritance for everyone. Recounting how he was triggered by the painting, the wooden box and the dream that he had a while ago.

"Baby. I'm so happy for you. Mummy can't wait to give you a hug to congratulate you on this. It has been so long. You have been lonely for so long. Aww... Damnit, I'm crying."

"Sally!"

"Ok. I'll stop. I'm sure you didn't call to tell me this. You need me because?"

"I know you know people that are good with computers. Hackers, I need one or two of them. I need someone to hack into my old High School records and find out the details for me. Give me the details of the two years before I graduate and 2 years after."

"I remember someone was doing this for you. Didn't your assistant handle that for you? What's the name of that guy again? The Wang or Weng or what? I'm never good with Chinese names and his is just -"

"Wen Hao have been giving me a lot of reasons about someone suppressing the information and that no one is allowed to access them. Recently he has been telling me that the people that he has sent down to talk to the school has all been kicked out. So I need to look for new ways to get these information. No matter how small, I need answers."

"Son, still, you shouldn't cut mummy off when mummy is talking. As serious as it sounds. I know someone and he is my boy friend now. I'll run it by him later and see if he can help me with this. I might have to throw in my body for this favour of yours. So what will I be getting as a reward from you?"

"Why are you always thinking about money? Aren't our friendship already passed this? Since you always call me Baby and Son, in that case shouldn't this be free?"

"Hold your horses man. This is strictly business. Mr Chen, you are a businessman and I'm very sure in your position you are willing to pay for service right? You are here asking for help, I'm providing the service, isn't it normal to expect payment for this? Or are you going to be like those men who will just zip it up after they are done and ignore the other party? Oh... You are so cruel. Now I'm not going to help you anymore. What is the use of helping you when you dont even appreciate me at all? What am I to you? Your disposable toy? Use when you need? How could you forget those times were I was holding your hand when you were feeling down..."

Listening to this, Chen Xin felt his headache starting to come back. He was scolding himself. Knowing her personality, he shouldn't have triggered this drama queen so much.

On the other line, Sally was acting like the drama queen she always is and her boy friend was looking at her the whole time she was on the phone. Finding the whole situation amusing, he just laugh at her one sided conversation.

Chen Xin couldn't stand all her rambling any more and needed to shut her off.

"Sally, Enough. $300,000 will be in your account by the end of the day."

"No. $500,000."

"That's robbery. $350,000."

""Hmm... $600,000"

"$400,000. Final."

"Fine. Deal. Thank you honey. You are the best. I'm going to make some man very happy now. Leave mommy alone."

She hangs up and he was staring at his phone. No matter what happens, she is always the one that he can depend on.

"I don't need to know how you do it Sally. just get me the results."

He mumbled to himself and started scrolling through his email.
