Chapter 1155
After leaving the former residence of Ye Chen's parents, Du Haiqing felt a sense of loss.
On one hand, it was because she missed Ye Changying, and on the other, it was because seeing Ye Chen just now made her feel that he looked so much like Ye Changying, which stirred up many memories of her youth.
When she returned to the Du family's residence in Jin Ling, the servants had already prepared a sumptuous lunch.
Su Zhifei had also just returned from donating money at the orphanage. Seeing Du Haiqing return, he hurriedly asked: "Mom, where did you go this morning?"
Du Haiqing recovered from her chaotic thoughts, but still said somewhat absent-mindedly: "Oh, I didn't go anywhere, I just had Uncle Wang take me around for a bit."
At this moment, a maid walked in and said respectfully: "Second Miss, lunch is ready."
Du Haiqing nodded and said to Su Zhifei: "Go call your sister out for lunch. What is that girl doing? She has been locking herself in her room all day recently, and the first thing she did when she arrived in Jin Ling was to lock herself up. It's strange."
"Sigh..." Su Zhifei smiled and said: "Zhiyu has been wanting to find our benefactor, the young man who saved our lives in Japan."
Du Haiqing suddenly realized and hurriedly asked: "Any clues?"
Su Zhifei shook his head and sighed helplessly: "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack; it's not that easy to find. Up until now, we haven't even figured out whether he is Chinese or an overseas Chinese, and we don't know if he is in Japan or back in the country."
Du Haiqing said seriously: "This person saved your lives. If it weren't for him, you would have met with misfortune long ago. Such great kindness and virtue, we really must find an opportunity to repay it properly..."
As she spoke, she asked again: "Regarding this benefactor, what clues do you actually have? Why don't you tell me, and I can help you think of a way."
Su Zhifei spread his palms and sighed lightly: "Sigh, actually we don't have many clues. We just met him once and roughly know what he looks like. Apart from that, there are no other valuable clues."
Du Haiqing asked: "Then should we offer a reward? Say we want to find our savior and thank him in person. If he sees it, he can contact us."
Su Zhifei said: "Zhiyu considered this method too, but she said the probability is low. She said the benefactor should be a very remarkable person and shouldn't be short of money. Even if he sees the reward, he probably won't contact us."
Du Haiqing nodded in agreement and said: "That's true. If he really wanted money, he should have asked when he saved you, or left contact information. Now, just relying on the memory of meeting him once, wanting to find him in the vast sea of people is indeed too difficult."
Su Zhifei said helplessly: "I tried to persuade Zhiyu, but she is unwilling to give up."
As he spoke, he shook his head and said: "Mom, I'll go call Zhiyu for lunch."
"Okay, go ahead."
Soon, Su Zhiyu, wearing home pajamas, walked out of her room reluctantly under Su Zhifei's urging.
When she came out, she was still holding an iPad in her hand, and her fingers on the other hand were sliding quickly across it, constantly flipping through the faces on the screen.
When she arrived at the dining room, Su Zhiyu's attention was still focused on the iPad screen. Du Haiqing asked: "Zhiyu, I heard from your brother that you are looking for that benefactor. Any progress?"
Su Zhiyu said without looking up: "No progress. I haven't found him in the footage yet."
Du Haiqing said seriously: "Some things depend on fate. If fate hasn't arrived, no matter how you look, it's useless; if fate has arrived, even if you don't look for him, he will appear before you."
Su Zhiyu said without hesitation: "I don't want to leave the initiative to fate; it's too unreliable. There are so many people in the world. Except for neighbors at your own doorstep, the probability of two people who met in a foreign land meeting again by coincidence is almost zero. If I don't take the initiative to find him, I'm afraid I'll never find him in this lifetime."
As she spoke, Su Zhiyu said somewhat melancholically: "Human memory isn't that good to begin with. No one can remember everything at a glance. Many things have to be reinforced by repeated memory to be remembered clearly, just like memorizing texts when we were young..."
"In the first few days after returning from Japan, the benefactor's appearance was quite clear in my mind, but after so many days, his appearance has become increasingly blurry. Although I have been trying to deepen the impression by constantly recalling it, it's actually not working. I'm afraid that after a while, I will forget what he looks like..."
Speaking of this, Su Zhiyu looked up at Du Haiqing and Su Zhifei and asked: "Mom... Brother... have you two ever had this feeling? Sometimes, the more you want to remember what someone looks like, the easier it is to forget?"
Su Zhifei thought for a moment and said: "It depends on the person. If it's someone you see often, you can't forget them no matter what. But for someone you've only met once, it really doesn't take long before you can't really imagine their specific appearance in your mind, leaving only a blurry outline."
Du Haiqing also nodded and said: "Zhiyu is right. Human memory must be constantly reinforced to be engraved in the heart."
When she said this, the person she thought of in her mind was Ye Changying.
She had loved Ye Changying so much in her life, but in the nearly twenty years since Ye Changying passed away, if it weren't for looking at photos of Ye Changying when he was young every day, Ye Changying would have gradually blurred in her mind.
Thinking of this, she felt somewhat emotional inside, and then asked Su Zhiyu: "Zhiyu, can you describe to Mom what that benefactor looks like?"
Su Zhiyu thought for a moment and said: "In one word, handsome; in two words, very handsome; in three words, extremely handsome; if it's four words, it's cool and handsome..."
Du Haiqing couldn't help but laugh: "Is it as exaggerated as you say?"
Su Zhiyu said seriously: "Mom, I'm not exaggerating at all. He is very handsome, and not only handsome, but also cool as hell!"
As she spoke, Su Zhiyu rested her chin on her hand and said with a fanatical look: "At that time, that Iga Jonin brought a bunch of ninjas to set up a formation to kill him, but he took them all out in two or three moves. The Iga Jonin was scared to death at the time, trembling as he asked who he was. Guess what he said?"
Du Haiqing shook her head and asked: "What did he say?"
Su Zhiyu stood up, imitated Ye Chen at the time, and said coldly: "He said, I am your father, and I want your life!"
Du Haiqing smiled and said: "This person is quite arrogant."
"More than just arrogant!" Su Zhiyu said seriously: "He was simply arrogant to the extreme! I, Su Zhiyu, have never seen such an arrogant person since I was born! He didn't take those cold-blooded Japanese ninjas seriously at all. Killing them was like chopping melons and vegetables. It was simply too awesome!"
As she spoke, she continued somewhat angrily: "The key is, this guy didn't give me or my brother a good face either. I asked to borrow his phone to call my dad, and this guy actually said something about personal items not being lent out. He was so stuck up!"
Du Haiqing laughed: "He must have been guarding against you, not wanting you to know his phone number and subsequently trace his identity."
"Right!" Su Zhiyu said angrily: "I think so too! This guy is very shrewd and doesn't leave any clues! Before he left, I told him we'd meet again in the world of martial arts, and he actually told me we wouldn't meet again. Thinking about it now, I'm still very angry! It's too damaging to my self-esteem! So I must find him and ask him in person: Didn't you say arrogantly that we wouldn't meet again? How do you feel now that you've met this young lady again?"
