Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu
Chapter 309 Search For Any ClueChen villa.
Inside Zixin's room, Jun was methodically going through all his stuff one by one.
Yunru, whose head was going to explode, cried. "Bro, what are we exactly looking for here?"
"Don't know."
His brow twitched.
"Then how will we find it?"
"Keep looking," he put one of the files back on the shelf and picked another one.
"..."
"This is not an efficient method, Bro."
His sister, Yubi, smacked his head. "You complain so much, Yunru. Just do what Bro Jun is saying. If there is something here that will give us a clue to Bro Zixin's accident, then we have to keep searching for it!"
He collapsed on his back. "But we have been looking for an hour already…We don't even know what it looks like."
Jun ran his fingers through the shelf and stared ahead.
There must be something here.
Yunru said, "Isn't it much easier if we check Bro's laptop?"
Jun smiled. "Do you know the password?"
He coughed. "W-well…"
"Don't worry. I have already asked Chyou to unlock it for us."
"Oh yeah!" He brightened. "She is awesome. She will unlock it in no time. Then Bro…" he sheepishly grinned. "Since she is gonna unlock Bro's laptop anyway, can we not wait and directly check his laptop?"
Yubi's mouth twitched. "You are so lazy, Yunru!"
"W-what? I am just saving everybody's energy!"
Chen Liling stepped in just then and smiled. "Here kiddos. Have some coffee. You have been at it for an hour now."
Yunru said, "I am not a kiddo."
She ruffled his head. "Yes, yes. My grandson is all grown up now."
Jun thanked her and took the coffee mug from her. "Uncle and Aunt are…"
She sighed. "At the hospital with Zixin. I worry for them so much. Serena hasn't eaten properly for two days…"
He hugged her. "She will be fine. Aunty is very strong."
She sniffled. "Yes…Why did this have to happen with Zixin?" She couldn't hold her tears back.
Jun narrowed his eyes. "That's what I will find soon."
Chen Liling smiled. "Aish, you are such a good child. Hehe, I can see how Zhou Ai has changed you. You are so happy with her."
His gaze softened. "Very."
She complained. "Even though you are my sweet grandnephew, I am still mad at you. Hmph. I wanted Zhou Ai for my Zixin…"
His brow violently twitched.
Chen Liling's gaze dimmed. "Jun, will…Zixin ever get his memories back?"
He stared at her hopeful eyes glistening with tears. In his last life, Zixin had never gotten his memories back. He felt his heart stab with those memories.
Jun smiled and kissed her forehead. "Of course, he will. Our Bro Zixin will be back one day. He will remember all of us for sure."
The twins furiously bobbed their heads too while hiding their wet eyes.
A maid knocked on the door. "Madam, the workers are here to collect the things for donation."
"Oh, yes," she wiped her eyes. "Yunru, Yubi. Have you sorted out your stuff?"
"Yes!"
"Good. Bring all those boxes in the hall."
Yubi pushed her brother's back. "Get to work, Yunru."
He was dumbfounded. "Why should I carry your boxes!?"
"Because that's what brothers do. I am not free, okay? I will be helping Bro Jun here," she harrumphed.
"You…"
Chen Liling ignored their banter. "What should we do about Zixin's room?"
Jun thought about it. "Guess we can collect Bro's old clothes and shoes. There should be no problem with that. But no books and bags and other stuff until I get what I am looking for."
She nodded. "Okay."
Yubi chirped. "I will start with all the old clothes. Bro really needs a wardrobe makeover anyway."
Chen Liling and Yunru left to attend to the workers while Jun went back to his work. He browsed through his shelf and files but didn't find anything of much interest that would be potentially harmful to anybody.
"Sir?"
Jun casually turned halfway and saw a worker standing outside the room. He had his hat partially covering his face. "Madam said there are some things to collect from here."
"Hm. Go help Yubi over there," he said while glancing through a file.
"Yes, Sir."
Yubi breathlessly took out a bunch of Zixin's clothes and dumped them all on his bed. "Oof. These are all so out of fashion now…" she mumbled.
She looked at the worker and asked, "Put that cardboard box here. I will fold all the clothes and you stack them in."
"Yes, Mam."
From the shelf, Jun focused his attention on the bedside table. He opened the first drawer and checked all the papers inside. Then the second and third, but there was nothing useful. When he reached for the fourth drawer, he found that it was locked.
He frowned. "Yubi, do you have the key to this drawer?"
She shook her head. "No. There should be its key somewhere…"
Jun checked around the table and the bed but didn't find the key anywhere.
"Maybe there is nothing special anyway."
He furrowed his brows. "If there is nothing special, then why is it locked? The other three aren't."
He let out a sigh. "Let me check with Grandaunt if she knows something. You check the cupboard if you find the key."
"Yup."
Jun walked towards the hall and asked Chen Liling. "Grandaunt."
"Oh, Jun. Are you done?" She smiled.
"Nope. I want to ask if you ever saw Bro putting his keys anywhere?"
Chen Liling tried to recall but then shook her head. "No, dear."
He glanced at Yunru.
Yunru pouted. "He hardly ever let me inside his room because I liked bugging him all the time."
His mouth twitched.
Chen Liling asked, "Is it something important?"
"Yeh fourth drawer of his bedside table is locked-"
*THUD*
A slightly loud noise came from above as if something had crashed on the floor.
Jun rushed towards the room and his eyes widened seeing Zixin's laptop on the floor with water from the jar spilled on it.
