Chapter 129: I’ve decided
“I’m....Grandmother ng’s client! As for what happened here, I don’t know. It was already a ss when I ca.”
“Grandmother’s client?” Suyang narrowed his eyes to indicate his lack of trust towards .
“Hi! You must be Suyang?” I lightly punched Suyang on the shoulder. That was how guys say hi, right?
“Grandmother ng often brings you up. You’re his wonderful grandson, eh? Hahaha! I think she’s busy today so I guess I’m going to go too! Bye!”
Just as I was about to leave, Suyang blocked .
“Wait!”
“Wait...what...?” Suyang grabbed my arm and wouldn’t let go. Then, with his other hand, he dialed a number.
Grandmother ng’s cell phone began to ring on the table.
Alright, I admit...Grandmother ng is missing and there’s a mysterious man in her apartnt. I’m definitely very suspicious.... But what could I say? Directly tell Suyang I’m Lin Yixin? He’s going to think I’m insane! Plus, earlier I was already planning to tell Xialing I’ll leave so that everyone could remain safe...
“Have I seen you from sowhere before?”
My heart thumped. Could Suyang recognize ? No way!? We aren’t at the stage where we could see through each others’ souls yet!
“You look very familiar to ...”
Oh yeah! I am Anson now. “We” used to be childhood playmates. Although that happened years ago, there must still be so sort of resemblance. It wasn’t all that weird Suyang thought my face looked familiar.
“Most people often say I look like soone they know. Maybe I just have a face catered to the mass? Haha...” I pulled my arm out of Suyang’s grasp.
Suyang went over to Grandmother ng’s desk and picked up her phone. Based on his expression, I could tell his brain was speculating. I wanted to silently slip out while he was focused.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Suyang’s voice rang from behind .
“I...er... Grandmother ng isn’t here right now. There’s no reason for to remain here.”
“My grandma is missing and you are at the scene of the cri. You cannot leave!”
Darn it. I couldn’t even escape if I wanted to. “So what do you want?”
“Go to the police station with ! We are reporting the case to the authorities.” Suyang grabbed my collar and dragged . He was totally treating like a man. He was so rough!
Seeing how aggressive Suyang was acting, Xialing instantly knew I did not tell him the truth. She ran and blocked us, “What do you think you’re doing?”
I was trying to use my eyes to seek for help. I wanted her to think of a solution for us.
“Oh yes. You’re also a suspect. You must go to the police station with us.” With his other hand, Suyang grabbed onto Xialing’s pigtails and dragged us both with him.
“Think of a plan! You’re a man right now....”
“Wait! Wait! We can’t go to the police station. Let go and let’s have a civilized chat!” I yelled. However, Suyang ignored . I had no choice but to shout, “I -I know how to find Grandmother ng!”
As expected, Suyang halted his steps, “What did you say?”
“Lend your cell phone! I can find Grandmother ng.”
I ignored Suyang’s suspicious glance as I repeated, “Give your cell phone for a mont.”
“What are you going to do with it?”
“Don’t worry. I won’t run off with it. If you want to find Grandmother ng, just listen to !”
“You better tell what you know. Or else, I swear to God you’re going to die a pitiful death!” Suyang glared at . This was the first ti he had ever threatened so cruelly before. I was annoyed.
If you know I’m Lin Yixin, you wouldn’t behave like this! Humph!
“Alright, how about I give my phone to you, and you give yours to make a call. Ok?” I involuntarily pushed Xialing and made her help and Suyang exchange phones.
“You better remain in an area I could see you. If you plan to run, you’re dead! You’re a suspect!” Suyang warned.
I turned around and rolled my eyes. Then, I took Suyang’s phone and went over to a far corner where he could still see but not hear as I dialed my number.
Since Anson was acting as , he must be using my phone.
“What is it, Suyang?” Anson picked up almost instantaneously. Clearly, Suyang was top priority for him.
“I’m not Suyang. Can you guess who I am? I’m the woman whom you almost sent to a ntal institution. Actually, I’m a man now....” I threatened.
“You have Suyang’s phone? You went to find him?” Even through the phone, I could hear Anson gritting his teeth.
It was definitely not a good idea to piss him off. So, I decided to calm him down, “Don’t worry, I haven’t said anything to Suyang. I am making a call because I wanted to let you know I’ve made my decision.”
“You want to negotiate with ?”
“Yes. Grandmother ng is in your hands, right?”
“Yup. That old woman is very against your relationship with Suyang. I was just lectured a big deal. She talked too much so I’m letting her sleep for a bit.”
“You can’t hurt her!”
“You think it’s up to you to decide?”
“She’s Suyang’s only family mber. If you do sothing to her, he’ll never forgive you.”
“No, from now on, I’m Suyang’s family. I’ll be his only family mber.” Anson’s bigotry was strong.
“If you let Grandmother ng go and promise you won’t hurt anyone else, I’ll promise to let you be Lin Yixin for the rest of your life. You can get what you want.”
“Do you think I’m stupid? If you don’t have Grandmother ng, you definitely can’t get your body back. With a face of a man, Suyang is not going to believe you regardless.”
“You want to bet?” These days, my threatening skills have improved substantially. Anson didn’t respond.
“I guarantee I won’t show up in front of Suyang ever again. You are Lin Yixin and I’ll be Anson. We’ll be like this forever as long as you let Grandmother ng go.”
“Why should I trust you?”
“I am using Suyang’s cell phone but I didn’t tell him the truth. You still can’t trust ? I’m being sincere right now.”
“Why are you doing this?’
“I want to save Grandmother ng. If my departure will ensure everyone’s safety, I’m willing to compromise.”
Anson began to laugh, “Don’t make yourself sound like a saint... you better not try to fool . Or else, all of you will die! Fine, if you don’t want to go to Japan, I’ll prepare sothing else for you. After your departure has been verified, I will release Grandmother ng.”
“Alright. Deal.” I hung up. My heart felt very heavy.
I didn’t dare to turn around the instant I realized I might never see Suyang again in my lifeti. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to control my tears the mont I see his face.
I was a man right now. What type of man cries so easily?
I slowly began to readjust my emotions and deleted the record of the call. Then, I casually walked over to Suyang and handed him back his phone. “At the latest, Grandmother ng should be ho by tomorrow night.”
“Who did you talk to?” Suyang was going through the records but I had already deleted it. “You’re really a suspicious person. Who are you?!” Suyang glared at .
“A person you don’t know.” I coolly replied.
“You look so familiar.”
“To be honest, Grandmother ng is missing because she was helping . But I’ve already located her. Sorry for all the troubles I’ve caused you.” I gave Suyang a bow. Then, I got up and gave Xialing a “we should leave” look.
“You want to leave again? Do you think I’ll let you leave when I know the reason why my granny is missing is because of you? You must remain within my field of vision until my grandma is back.”
“Believe , she’ll co back soon!”
“Why should I trust you?” Suyang still wouldn’t let go. At this rate, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to control my emotions.
I lowered my head and avoided his eyes, “Please, just trust once!”
“No! Until I’m certain my grandma is back, I won’t let you go!”
“Suyang!” I yelled. I made up my mind and decisively made eye contact with him, “Trust . I know I may be a stranger to you, but please look in the eye. You’ll trust .”
For so reason, maybe I was superstitious; but I was quite certain that regardless of what I had turned into, Suyang will trust after seeing the sincerity in my eyes.
“Strange. My intuition is telling to trust you. But if you dare to lie to , I’ll make sure you will die without your corpse.” Suyang finally released his grip on my arm.
“Just in case!” Suyang took out his phone and “ka cha” a photo of before I could react.
“If you are really a criminal, I’ll take your picture to the police station and get them to arrest you!”
“Yes yes, whatever!” I grabbed Xialing and the two of us left.
“You’ve decided to leave?” Xialing leaned over and whispered.
“Yes, after hearing your suggestion, I think it’s the best solution. At least, I can save soone if I go.” I looked off into the distance and couldn’t help but feel depressed.
“Regardless where you go, I’ll follow you!”
I was surprised to hear this from Xialing. It was touching but I softly refused, “I’ll be fine on my own. Why would I make you leave your native ho as well?”
“You make it sound like you’re being sent away to serve a penal sentence.” She complained.
“Isn’t it true? I have to leave my native town and live elsewhere for the rest of my life.”
“Don’t think of it like that. Perhaps, you’ll realize you prefer living abroad after you begin your new life! Maybe your new life will be better than your current one!”
“True. My life is already such a ss. Could it get any worse? Look at . I have been a woman for 26 years and now I’m a man!”
“Umm...a very hot man....” Xialing muttered.
Anson was very efficient. I could tell how badly he wanted to disappear. Within a few hours, he already had the airfare, passport, visa, and everything prepared.
Xialing and I went to a nearby mall for three hours. Then, she directly took to the airport. During the three hours, I took a last glimpse of my native land for 26 years.
“Although Anson says there will be soone waiting for you in United States, you should still have so sort of luggage. It would be very inconvenient if you don’t have anything. Why don’t you fetch your boarding pass while I go nearby to get you so items for daily use?”
“No, it’s fine. Ever since my soul was swapped, you’ve been a trendous help. You’re not even related to . I feel like I owe you a lot...”
“Who says we’re not related? If my brother was still alive, he would’ve probably beat Suyang to it! You would probably already be my sister-in-law!”
“You and your naughty mouth.” I rubbed her head. I knew Xialing liked intimate acts from as I had Anson’s face.
I watched as Xialing diligently left. I stood in line and waited to get my boarding pass.
