Chapter 1162: Does It Ring A Bell?
"He lost his phone here?" asked Raelle.
"Lost it? I'm more inclined to believe that he purposely got rid of his phone here," responded Xia Zhao. "He and his allergy to carrying electronic devices."
"It seems he likes the old-fashioned life," commented Raelle.
"You don't understand," said Xia Zhao and shook his head. "Forget it. I already had no hope of calling his number. I should call someone else." Saying that he dialed another number, "Jinzhi, where is Young Master Ru?"
"I'm also looking for him, Little Uncle," came the response.
Xia Zhao was speechless, "Isn't it your responsibility to keep an eye on him?"
"Yeah, but the premise for that is that Young Master Ru is willing to be watched. It seems he ran out of patience today and now, we are all looking for him."

Xia Zhao hung up the phone and looked at Raelle apologetically, "I'm sorry. It seems you'll have to wait a little bit."
"It's okay," said Raelle. "But what's going on? Can't find him?"
"Mhmm..." hummed Xia Zhao in response. "I really hope he is found or else, it'd be a disaster."
"Disaster? Where is the disaster?"
Xia Zhao looked up and saw the person he was thinking about walking in from the main door leisurely. Xia Zhao almost had the urge to go and beat him up but he held back. Instead, he went to look out the balcony making everyone confused.
"Little Uncle, what are you doing?" asked Ru.
"I'm trying to see if the sun really came out from the west this morning. Why else would you enter my place through the door twice in the same morning?"
Ru rolled his eyes at Xia Zhao. "This is why I say, people are never happy with you. No matter what you do, they'd find reasons to nitpick. When I came through window, you repeatedly told me to use the door. Now that I am entering through the door like a gentleman, you're still finding faults with it? This is not the way it should be Little Uncle. Be content with what you get in life."
"You? A gentleman? I highly doubt that," responded Xia Zhao. "Did I tell you the passcode of the door to my penthouse?" 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙣𝙚𝒕
"No," answered Ru.
"Then how did you open the door?" asked Xia Zhao.
"Is that even difficult? It's just a door. Can it stop this young master?"
"Exactly! I don't think this is something a gentleman would do."
"See? You're finding faults again," remarked Ru. Noticing the presence of Mu Chenyan and Raelle there, Ru added, "Little Uncle, you're certainly having a beautiful morning in the presence of beautiful ladies." Then he waved at the two of them saying, "Hello, beautiful ladies!"
"Where were you?" asked Xia Zhao. "Jinzhi said they can't find you."
Ru shrugged, "They have been too lax these days. Let them do some work. How else will they stay fit?"
"Is it your age to prank them? All of them are younger than you," reminded Xia Zhao.
"Or else? Should I play a prank on you instead?"
"Respect the elders and love the young ones."
"This is my way of loving them, Little Uncle. Now, stop asking questions." Then he ignored Xia Zhao and looked at Raelle, "Yo! Miss Hundred Questions, how are you feeling?"
"Very good," answered Raelle.
"Ru..." Xia Zhao wanted to say something again and Ru held up his hand to stop him.
"Little Uncle," started Ru. "If you have nothing better to do, please go, take your girlfriend and go for a walk or something. Stop talking." She looked at Raelle, "And you said, he doesn't like talking that much? Look at him! He is always after me whenever he sees me."
Xia Zhao sat down and said, "Fine. I won't talk now. You tell Raelle what you found."
"You really found something?" asked Raelle to Ru.
"You doubt me?" asked Ru. "Don't worry. I might not know the secrets of the universe, but I'm still very good."
"I don't doubt that," replied Raelle honestly.
Ru turned to Xia Zhao, "Little Uncle, do you have a tablet? Laptop? Desktop?"
"I have it," said Xia Zhao and took it from the side table. He gave it to Ru who started operating on it and he asked, "What are you doing?"
"Connecting your tablet to my network," answered Ru. Only after a few seconds, he looked up at Raelle and said, "I believe your question was why you don't have the memory of saving someone while the person who was saved had kept you on her mind even till her death."
"Yes," nodded Raelle. "I'm unable to understand it. I don't think my memory is wrong."
"It's not," answered Ru. "I'll give you a date. With your memory, I believe you'll figure out how, when, and where you saved that girl and became her savior without knowing it."
Raelle straightened up, ready to listen. Even Mu Chenyan's attention was grabbed. All this while, she had been focused on observing Ru but now, she was more curious about this information.
"Why don't you just give her the straight answer? Do we have to play this game?" asked Xia Zhao.
"Uncle, you're getting in my way," said Ru. She looked at this uncle a bit weirdly. How come he was a lot more active and talkative than usual? His eyes slightly moved towards Mu Chenyan who had been silent all this while and his brows relaxed as if he understood everything clearly.
"Don't worry. Just give me the date. I'm sure I'll recall everything if you believe I will."
"October 22, 20XX," said Ru. "Does it ring a bell?"
Raelle's mind worked faster and she seemed to be pulled back to that exact date that Ru just said. Her pupils dilated a little as if she really understood the mystery that she hadn't been able to solve all this while. It took her so long to look around for answers but only now did she got all the answers.
