A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 69

In this case, Kevin Quinn ponders, “Let's go downstairs first.”

So both of them go downstairs quietly. And they still can hear their teasing.

When they came to the side of the car, Sunny Ellen is sharp-eyes and finds a figure in a hurry.

“Bella?”

Kevin Quinn stops his hands, “Do you know her?”

Sunny Ellen thinks that Kevin Quinn is standing beside her. And she cannot say that she had seen them in the mall that day.

Kevin Quinn says unceasingly before Sunny Ellen explains, “Oh, yes. You saw us in the hotel that day.”

“…touch the tender spot.” Sunny Ellen thinks.

“Come on, get in the car!”

Sunny Ellen says in a bad attitude, and just opens the door to get in.

But Bella’s flustered profile always pops into her mind, “What is she going to do...?”

“She may have an appointment in this shopping mall. And the panic is mostly due to the fact that I have not come out of the tense atmosphere just now.”

Sunny Ellen imagines the reason why Bella appears in the shopping mall. And she finally persuades herself successfully to forget this matter.

Kevin Quinn drives to find a place to have dinner together.

“By the way, I came to tell you something just now.”

Sunny Ellen realizes that she was sweating all over the body after calming down and enjoying the air conditioning.

“What do you want to say?”

“I have just carefully recalled the PY Gangster. I think that I had dealt with them when I was young.”

Sunny Ellen 's curiosity is aroused, “When did it happen?”

“When I was... in my twenties.” Kevin Quinn says vaguely about his age, which seems to be unhappy.

“And then?”

“I thought poorly of everything for being young and full of vigor. And then, I was almost burned to death because I had offended the people of the PY Gangster…”

Sunny Ellen knows Kevin Quinn is talking about that incident, so she doesn’t stop him and lets him speak quietly.

“When I was semiconscious at that time, I saw a man, to be exact, a figure. I didn’t distinguish clearly because fire was everywhere. But the man squatted down and said to me: planted seeds will grow.”

“But then I didn't die, so I slowly forgot that. And I just take that word as an illusion generated during my vague consciousness.”

“Actually, it is not, right?”

“Yes, it is not. It also happened to Zola Ellen today. So I remember my miserable situation that year, and then I think two things are the same.”

“What is the PY Gangster? Why can it be so lawless?”

“No one can manage it. The people who set up the PY Gangster were a group of people with a high reputation. Then, they died or disappeared one after another for no reason, and then PY Gangster gradually disappeared...”

This is the inside information that Sunny Ellen doesn’t know, “Any people remain? When was the last time PY Gangster came out and how to deal with it?”

“Last time that I was almost burned to death. I was rescued by Bella. However, I heard that PY Gangster suffered heavy losses at that time and then disappeared in recent years.”

“It's strange. Why Bella offends PY Gangster. It's unreasonable.”

“You'd better go back to your original home and see if your father has a diary that hasn't been destroyed. There may be clues in some diaries. I think those people are all related to the people of the previous generation.”

Sunny Ellen nods and then she finds that she is sent to her home.

“What should I do when I meet Lora?”

“She must go for Gerry and shouldn’t be here at the moment. If you don't mind, I can go in with you.”

At the moment, in Sunny Ellen’s eyes, Kevin Quinn is an angel, “That's really very grateful.”

“… I was just polite.” Kevin Quinn thinks.

Kevin Quinn cannot help it but stop the car, and then creeps up with Sunny Ellen.

“I don't know if the key has been changed...” Sunny Ellen opens the door as she says it, but she finds she can open the door. So she has a complicated look at Kevin Quinn.

“The last time I went in from the rear door because I was afraid that the key of the front door might have been changed. I didn't expect that...”

Kevin Quinn understands what Sunny Ellen thinks, so he touches her head with his hand, “Open the door.”

Sunny Ellen nods and opens the door, then they go straight to the study upstairs.

“I remember that my father had an account book, and we can see if it is still there.”

They creep up upstairs. Sunny Ellen goes into her father’s study in a familiar way. Kevin Quinn hesitates for a moment and follows her.

“Does your father have any trade secrets?”

“No, let’s go in directly.”

They look at the big study, but don’t know how to start.

“You go there, I'll come here. Cooperation makes it faster.”

Kevin Quinn walks to the desk. He thinks that it is easier to find missing treasures in such places.

“There's a lock here, baby.” Kevin Quinn finds that the table is locked when he walks beside the table.

Sunny Ellen rummages for a while and then suddenly remembers, “I go to have a look at their bedroom. He generally puts the key there.”

For searching other people’s bedroom, Sunny Ellen feels helpless and funny, “You are careful.” After all, they cannot explain it if they are caught, because they sneak in.

Sunny Ellen sneaks into the bedroom next door after making a gesture of OK.

She has some inexplicable feelings when she looks at the invariable layout in the bedroom that is basically the same as that in her childhood.

She never comes into the bedroom again and even she bypasses it since Lora took the place of her mother.

It's the first time she has been here for a long time.

“The bedroom layout is almost the same as that when my mother was alive. In this ruthless world, is father still sentient to mother?” she thinks.

Soon she shakes her head and forces herself to stop thinking blindly because Kevin Quinn is still waiting for her.

So she finds a box inside the cabinet relying on her memory and according to the habit of her father.

She thought that her father’s things should have been cremated. But this box is still here, which Lora might miss.

Sunny Ellen has to try the digital codes one by one in the box.

It is not her father’s birthday.

It is not Lora’s birthday.

It is not Zola Ellen’s birthday.

She bravely tries her mother’s birthday. It is wrong.

“What is the password?” she thinks.

She is perturbed. But when she tries a string of numbers in her memory, the box is opened.

She recalls the numbers. It seems like the wedding anniversary of her parents.

She has a mixing feeling after drawing this conclusion.

And she becomes silent when she sees the things in the small box.

It is her parents’ wedding ring, her birth certificate, as well as a little delicate key in the box.

“Why did it take you so long…”

For not seeing her come back, Kevin Quinn is worried about Sunny Ellen, so he comes to have a look.

The sudden voice scares Sunny Ellen, and the box in her hand falls to the ground.

“Nothing, I have found the key. You can try it.”

Sunny Ellen squats down, picks up the key and hands it to Kevin Quinn.

“Are you OK...”

Kevin Quinn sees that she is not herself, and asks with concern.

“I'm fine… follow you...” After hearing what Sunny Ellen said, Kevin Quinn has no choice but to go to the study and Sunny Ellen is left alone in the bedroom.

She carefully puts the two rings away, then puts them in her pocket. And her birth certificate is folded and also put into her pocket.

Then she puts the two boxes back to where it was. She closes the door and walks to the study next door after everything is done.

Kevin Quinn opened the drawer. There is a note in his hand and he is looking at it sternly.

“What's the matter?” Sunny Ellen is curious because she doesn’t see Kevin Quinn is so serious before and wants to know what is on the note.

“It is complicated…” Kevin Quinn says as he puts the book away, “Let's go back and talk.”

“Is this an account book?”

“Diary, to be exact.”

Sunny Ellen leans over and wants to see what is written in the note. But Kevin Quinn pushes her head away, “Go back and show you.”

“Well, is there anything else? The account book…”

After hearing, Kevin Quinn continues to search in the drawer, but nothing is inside.

“Let’s search for the books your father often reads, in case there is something.”

Sunny Ellen looks at him coldly, “Hide the portrait in the book, just like you?”

…Kevin Quinn regrets to suggesting.

Sunny Ellen still follows his advice although she retorts him.

To be honest, she doesn’t know the books her father often reads.

So she opens an old book at random, and there is something falling down from the book.

Kevin Quinn picks it up for standing beside, “So coincident?”

“What? Do you find it?”

Kevin Quinn nods.

“Let's get out of here. I'm afraid Lora will come back.”

After hearing this, Kevin Quinn nods again, restores the drawer, and then put the book back and follows Sunny Ellen.

As soon as Sunny Ellen gets in the car, she sees Lora coming back from the rearview mirror, and also Gerry.

“My god. We are almost got caught…”

Kevin Quinn snickers, “Sit down, we are running.”

Finish saying, after Sunny Ellen fastens her seat belt, he drives away with the speed they come.
