Rebirth: Once Again With You Chapter 157 Criminal Record

"After we did a thorough investigation, we found out that this man most likely attended the sa high school as her."

"Really?" ng Renshu said in disbelief. "Do you have proof?"

"There wasn't much we can find out from where he lives or his real na. This man has been on the run for a year, and from the CCTV footage from his apartnt, it seed he had changed his appearance."

"You an plastic surgery?"

The officer flipped the file in his hand before saying, "According to the investigation, his face looked slightly different from the last ti he got caught by the cara. There is a high possibility he changed so parts of his face so he wouldn't be recognized easily."

ng Renshu put his fingers on his jaw as he thought deeply, "How did you know he might have known my wife before this?"

"From the things we found in his house, there are so old docunts regarding people whom we suspected as his family, like dical bills and a death certificate. We tried to find the connection, and it appeared this man also grew up in S city, just like you, Mr. ng. There is also a notebook left behind by him, which ntioned your wife's na many tis. The date and year were varied, so it was safe to assu this man probably had known your wife since a long ti ago, presumably since his high school days."

ng Renshu clenched his hand tightly, trying to suppress the sudden fury in his chest. "Oh? Is it so kind of diary or sothing? Can I take a look at it?"

The officer showed an apologetic face before replying, "I'm very sorry, but this notebook also contained other important information that may help us crack another case. Even if it's you, I'm afraid we can't show such top-class evidence."

"Then, do you mind sending a picture of the parts when he ntioned my wife? I want to know what he wrote." ng Renshu asked in a dark tone, making the officer break in a cold sweat.

"Sure, Mr. ng. I will try to send it to you as soon as possible."

"Can I also ask regarding what kind of cri this man committed? I won't ask the details, just tell the type of the cri."

"Yeah, about that…." The officer's words trailed off as he hesitated.

"Why? Is this also so kind of confidential information you can't tell ?"

The officer chuckled while swiping his face once with his palm. "No, I just thought that perhaps it might shock you. This man called Huang Zhen is on the run for a murder case. He killed three people."

After that, ng Renshu felt the ground shaking under him.

ng Renshu frowned as he slowly opened his eyes. He squinted when the light pierced through the gap in his eyes, but after a few blinks, he got accustod to it.

"Are you finally awake?"

A stern but familiar voice rang from above him. That was when he realized he was currently lying down on the couch with sothing soft under his head.

The mories before he fell asleep slowly ca back to him, and when he looked up, a face he had longed to see was staring back at him with a hint of impatience in her eyes.

'Ah, she is here. She is still here,' ng Renshu thought to himself, and he suddenly had an urge to cry. However, there was no way he could show Li Caiyi his crying face, so he twisted his body to the side to hide his face.

"Brother Renshu, are you still half-asleep? If you don't wake up now, then I won't be able to go ho."

It was clearly words of complaint, but it eased his heart so much. If only Li Caiyi wasn't so vigilant towards him, he probably would have hugged her the mont he opened his eyes.

After a few seconds, ng Renshu finally regained his composure again, then slowly picked himself up. His hair was ssy, and his suit was wrinkled, but his body did feel lighter than before.

'It didn't end with a nightmare this ti. As expected, it has to be with her,' ng Renshu thought to himself as he slowly turned his head to face the frowning girl.

"If you are awake, can you let go of my hand now? It's starting to feel cramped now."

ng Renshu deliberately ignored her and asked her instead, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Around two hours. You looked like you were having a good sleep, so I generously let you have another hour. But it's already 10 PM. I have to go ho now." Li Caiyi said as she tried to pull her hand off him, but he refused to let her go.

"It would be good if you just sleep together with ," ng Renshu let out a teasing smirk.

"If you are sober enough to hurl nonsense, then please let my hand go now!" Li Caiyi was practically trying to tear her hand, judging how strongly she attempted to break free from his hold.

"Haha, I understand. Don't pull anymore, or you will fall back." ng Renshu said before slowly loosening his hold on her hand. That small and warm hand quickly slipped out of his grasp, and his hand instantly felt cold again.

ng Renshu thought the dream he just had was the most vivid one so far. Previously, although the sensation and feeling he experienced remained, he would always forget everything he saw when he woke up. However, it was different this ti.

Li Caiyi rubbed her hand while studying ng Renshu's expression seriously. "So? Did you find out anything?" She asked carefully.

ng Renshu blinked his eyes several tis before he smiled brightly.

"No? Unfortunately, I couldn't rember anything, but sleeping while holding your hand worked wonders, as expected. I slept like a baby, thanks to you. It's been a while since I woke up feeling refreshed like this."

"Is that so?" Li Caiyi eyed him suspiciously, which he responded with a tilt of his head.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Is there sothing on my face?"

"I can't believe you for so reason."

ng Renshu laughed. "I see you only have that much trust towards . But it's the truth. I forgot about it as soon as I woke up. Why would I lie about that? I'm just as desperate to know the mystery behind my dreams as you."

"....Nevermind, then. Can I go ho now? I hope you keep your promise to . I don't want Auntie to have any kind of misunderstanding about us."

"Yes, don't worry," ng Renshu said lightly as he stood up. "Let escort you ho."

"No need. Please just let the chauffeur send ho."

"I can't do that, or Auntie would be disappointed in . I promise I won't talk to you anymore after this, so let make sure you return safely, okay?"

Li Caiyi had an unwilling look on her face. It made him want to walk over and pinched her cheeks.

Even now, she tried hard to keep so distance from him. However, she should have realized that such a feat was impossible now that he understood he needed her in his life.
