Chapter 200: 200 Becoming Suspicious (Fourth watch)

"Dad, actually, there’s no need to rush," Song Yu recalled her brother’s unusual behavior the last time at the night market, "Dad, to be honest with you, I think my brother already likes someone. You might as well stop trying to set him up with people here. Maybe he’s about to win the girl over. At this critical moment, if you keep trying to introduce him to others, won’t that just cause him trouble?"

Based on what she had seen at the night market, her brother definitely seemed interested in that girl.

"Yu, what did you say?"

Hearing this, Song Yuan looked at Song Yu excitedly.

He stared at her motionless, afraid of missing any important information.

"Dad, please, calm down," Song Yu quickly helped Song Yuan to sit down, "My brother is no child. He knows how to handle these things. You don’t need to worry about him. The girl he met last time seems pretty good, just a bit young."

While speaking, Song Yu casually picked up an apple from the coffee table and started munching on it.

"At a time like this, you still have the mood to eat an apple," Song Yuan snatched the apple out of Song Yu’s hand, looking at her expectantly, "Come on, tell Dad. What’s this about? Your brother really fancies that girl? How old is she? Where is she from? Is she a good person?"

Seeing Song Yuan’s excited demeanor, Song Yu couldn’t help but say, "Dad, please keep calm. Actually, I don’t know much. I just had a meal with them that one time. The girl is probably around 18 or 19, pretty, with a good temperament, but I don’t know anything else."

At these words, Song Yuan’s eyes shone brightly, as if he had already seen his future daughter-in-law.

"Eighteen isn’t that young. She’s only eleven years younger than the third child. Your mother and I have a fifteen-year age gap. Since you all had dinner together, it definitely means something! This sly boy has someone in mind and he didn’t even tell me, making me worry for nothing at home. No, I have to get ready so I can go to the girl’s family at any time to propose. We’re from a distinguished family, after all, we can’t skip the proper etiquette. We can’t let others laugh at us..."

With that, Song Yuan got up and prepared to head into the inner room.

This was his son’s lifelong matter, and he couldn’t afford to be negligent in the slightest.

"Dad!" This old man’s imagination was way too vivid. Song Yu quickly pulled Song Yuan back down to the couch as she saw his reaction, "There’s not even the slightest bit of certainty in this matter yet, what are you in such a hurry for? The girl might not even like my brother, you know."

According to her observations from the last time, Chu Jin had no special feelings whatsoever for her brother.

"What kind of goddess wouldn’t be into your brother? I’m not bragging, but just look at your brother’s prospects—put him out there, and who knows how many girls would throw themselves at him! There’s no one your brother can’t marry if he wants to."

Old Master Song always had an unexplainable confidence in his son!

Indeed, Song Yuan wasn’t boasting; the number of people who wanted to throw themselves at Song Shiqin was not small, given his outstanding qualifications.

Unfortunately, he had met Chu Jin.

"Hehe," Song Yu scoffed, "Dad, stop boasting on behalf of my brother. It’d be bad if you threw your back out. Do you think modern girls are so shallow and materialistic?"

"I’m boasting?" Song Yuan huffed lightly, "Just wait and see. If the third child really likes her, within three days, he could definitely bring her home."

His son was so outstanding, easily becoming an army chief at such a young age—wooing a girl was a simple task for him.

Song Yuan thought to himself with bliss.

Meanwhile, Song Yu just helplessly shook her head.

**

At the crossroads.

Song Shiqin drew two tarot cards in succession.

The first card was the Blank Card.

The Blank Card, as the name suggests, is completely blank, with no images at all and therefore no upright or reversed meanings.

The second card showed the Lovers in reverse.

On the Lovers card, with the Garden of Eden as the background and using the story of Adam and Eve, the true essence of love is expounded.

In the card’s imagery, Adam and Eve stand on either side, feeling the romance and warmth of love under the blessings of an angel.

Behind Adam and Eve is a tree, around which a serpent is coiled.

On the branches are four fruits.

The first card represents the past.

The second card signifies current events.

Chu Jin looked at the Blank Card and furrowed her brow slightly, wondering how he had managed to draw a blank card.

Seeing her frown, Song Shiqin mistook it for her being unable to continue with the reading and teasingly said, "Miss Chu, is my fate so special that it’s beyond simple reading? Or has Miss Chu foreseen a bloody disaster for me in the near future?"

Aren’t these the usual tricks of fortune tellers?

He had hoped that this young girl would bring some novelty to his life.

Turns out... she wasn’t much different from other fortune-tellers.

"That’s not exactly true," Chu Jin’s attention was entirely captured by the blank card, she didn’t catch the jest in Song Shiqin’s tone, and spoke softly, "I’m just a bit puzzled, how someone’s past could be a complete blank..."

Upon hearing this, Song Shiqin’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure; it was probably just a wild guess.

That’s the usual spiel of fortune-tellers, no need to take it seriously.

Chu Jin looked at the blank card somewhat puzzledly, then glanced at the lovers’ card beside it.

Her pupils contracted slightly, and fragments of images flashed before her eyes.

She curled her lips slightly, and quickly understood the meaning of the cards, looking up at Song Shiqin, "Four years ago, Mr. Song suffered a severe head injury while executing a mission. Fortunately, you were rescued in time, and there were no serious consequences. However, you lost 25 years of memories due to that accident, so your past 25 years are a blank to you."

The girl’s voice was clear and light.

There were no waves, no fluctuations.

Her tone was as plain as if she was discussing what to have for breakfast the next morning, but Song Shiqin’s heart shook intensely.

About the incident 25 years ago, Chu Jin was spot on.

Yet at the time, the incident wasn’t publicized, all the records were encrypted, and aside from the military medics and nurses, and the old patriarch at home, almost no one else knew about it.

Even Song Yu didn’t know about it; how did this person, how did she come to know?

Had she investigated him beforehand?

Or perhaps, was she actually a spy sent by another country?

With these thoughts in mind, Song Shiqin’s gaze at Chu Jin became full of wariness and defense.

Come to think of it, her sudden appearance was also suspicious.

At that time, he had just been capturing Dick, and she conveniently showed up at the club, and furthermore, fortuitously spotted Dick—who had disguised himself in a way even Song Shiqin hadn’t detected.

How could an 18-year-old girl have noticed something was amiss?

Moreover, facing the fierce and ferocious Dick, she showed no hint of fear, remaining extremely calm. In such a critical situation, she still knew to send a distress signal to them.

She even managed to escape from Dick’s clutches and ultimately helped him subdue Dick.

How could a mere 18-year-old girl have such skills?

From these events, she seemed more like an experienced special agent!

Not like an 18-year-old child at all.

The chance meeting at the milk tea shop, the encounter at the night market, all of it appeared more like a plotted approach.

First, she created a favorable impression at the milk tea shop, then used the capture of Dick as an opportunity for close contact with him...

The thought was terrifying!

Song Shiqin looked at Chu Jin, his eyes narrowing slightly, his voice taking on a deeper tone, "I wonder what else Miss Chu has discerned?"

Chu Jin pointed to the blank card, "This card represents your past,"

As she spoke she pointed to the lovers’ card, "This card represents your present, hmm, the reversed lovers. I think it must be that Mr. Song’s marriage stars are in movement. If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Song probably had a date with a lovely lady today? However, Mr. Song, you didn’t keep the appointment. It’s not very gentleman-like to keep a girl waiting."

Song Shiqin was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected Chu Jin to have investigated such a minor detail so thoroughly.

This could no longer be described as terrifying!

How powerful must the force behind her be to uncover such information!

As a General, much of his personal information was doubly encrypted; it wasn’t something that could be easily accessed.

Unless, there had been an inside man.

An inside man working in cahoots with her.

Seeing his solemn expression, Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, "What is it? Mr. Song, am I wrong?"
