Chapter 64 - The Safe
Chapter 64: The Safe
The next morning, Su Yan woke up after a good night’s sleep. When she looked up, she saw the gold key that she had placed on the bedside table.
Su Yan held the key in her hand and looked through it carefully. She actually found the words ‘Zhu Hui Bank’ in a corner of the key. The handwriting was extremely small and the color was the same golden color as the key. If one did not look carefully, it was obvious that one would not be able to tell.
Su Yan looked at the key and was delighted. Just as she was about to call Shi Qing and tell him the good news, she suddenly recalled that before he left yesterday, Shi Qing had told her that he was going overseas. She could only put down her phone regretfully and stare at the key in boredom.
Su Yan thought that she must really like Shi Qing. She liked him so much that she actually started to miss him after not seeing him for a night.
After feeling dispirited for a while on the bed, Su Yan got up, took the key, and started to ask Old Master Yun and Yun Chang about the ‘Zhu Hui Bank’.
“Zhu Hui Bank?” Old Master Yun paused. “Didn’t they close down more than ten years ago?”
Old Master Yun didn’t explain in detail. Luckily, Yun Chang added, “Back then, Zhu Hui Bank was a prominent presence. Basically, it was a place that provided services to some nobles.”
Yun Chang paused and continued, “But thirteen years ago, there was an explosion at Zhu Hui Bank. The explosion killed many people, and many of the items that Zhu Hui Bank kept had problems. Therefore, Zhu Hui Bank could only close down.”
“Wait.”
Su Yan clearly caught onto the time. “Thirteen years ago?”
Yun Chang nodded. Following that, his eyes widened. “It was the year that Second Brother got into trouble.”
This was a very strange thing. Before Su Yan mentioned this, they didn’t seem to notice that the incident at Zhu Hui Bank happened at the same time as Yun Yi.
Su Yan looked at Yun Chang and Old Master Yun’s genuine expressions and began to wonder if the hypnotist was involved.
Who was that person? Why did he go through so much trouble to do this? However, she could not figure it out even if she racked her brains. She could only take out the key and say, “This should be Dad’s belongings. We can’t find the safe at Zhu Hui Bank anymore?”
Yun Chang and Old Master Yun looked at each other before Yun Chang shook his head and said, “We can still find it. Ever since the incident at Zhu Hui Bank, the safe in Zhu Hui Bank has been stored in an abandoned exhibition hall in the National Museum. It’s under the control of the country. If anyone needs it, they can use the key to retrieve it.”
Su Yan heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that it was still around. Su Yan could not sit still anymore. “I’ll go to the National Museum now. I want to see what Dad left behind.”
In the end, Yun Chang accompanied Su Yan to the National Museum. The journey to the abandoned exhibition hall was rather smooth. However, when Su Yan saw more than ten rows of safes, she suddenly felt her hands go weak.
If she were to try them one by one, how long would it take? However, Su Yan really did not understand Yun Yi. When Yun Chang entered, he was called away by the curator to talk about the development of the restaurant.
Su Yan could only try them one by one. Finally, when the sky was about to turn dark, Su Yan finally tried it out.
But when she saw the number on the safe, Su Yan fell silent.
Sixth row number thirteen.
June 13th, Su Yan’s birthday.
For the first time, Su Yan, who had never met her father before, had an indescribable feeling.
The safe was opened. When it was opened, there was a smell of dust. There were only four leather-bound notebooks in the safe.
“Notebooks?”
Su Yan found it strange and took out the notebook to take a look. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
The notebook wrote, “April 13th, the weather is clear. Today, Xixi learned how to walk. Her chubby legs look extremely strong. I don’t know if it’s a gift from God, but I feel that Xixi is my angel.”
“April 14th. It was drizzling, and the weather was a little cold today. I was afraid that Xixi would be cold, so I put on an extra vest for her. Who knew that Xixi would be unhappy and take off the vest angrily? She ignored me for a full ten minutes. I don’t know how this vest offended her.”
The notebook was filled with diary entries like this. The handwriting was handsome and elegant. The owner of the diary entries was Su Yan. Su Yan could tell that Yun Yi really liked her. He liked her so much that even his diary was placed in the safe.
The four diary entries recorded everything that happened to Su Yan from one to four years old. Initially, Su Yan was still looking at it with a nostalgic feeling. However, gradually, her tears did not listen to Su Yan’s words and fell from her eyes.
Although Su Yan had no memory of what happened in the diary, her feelings for Yun Yi had reached an extremely high peak.
Her father, who she had almost no memories of, truly loved her. What made Su Yan sad was probably the feeling that time had passed and it was hard for people to come back.
