A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 70

Lora, standing at the door, is about to open the door. She glances at a car that starts to drive away quickly. She thinks, “It seems… maybe I am wrong.”

“What's the matter?”

“Nothing. Let's go in.”

In the car, Kevin Quinn is retelling half of the diary he just read to Sunny Ellen.

“He didn't take down anything important, just something trivial. I roughly look through the beginning and the end. The content is finished until your mother leaves.”

“It seems that we have also found an ‘antique cultural relic...’”

Sunny Ellen murmurs and thinks of the two rings in her pocket.

“Let me have a look at the account book…”

Sunny Ellen wants to take it as she says. But Kevin Quinn grads her hand.

“You believe in me. I'm afraid that if something is written there, you will not be able to bear it. So don’t hurry to read.”

Sunny Ellen thinks for a while. Maybe Kevin Quinn is right, so she takes back her hand obediently.

“But I am so curious…”

“I will let you have a read after going back. Don’t read it in the car, it is easy to get carsick.”

Kevin Quinn speeds up again after saying, “It is almost there.”

Sunny Ellen looks at the strange and familiar road around, “Wait. Why do you take me here?”

She actually returns to the villa in the western suburbs again.

“There's no one here. It's convenient to talk.” Kevin Quinn stops the car before the door after saying it.

It seems that in order to prove what Kevin Quinn said, someone stands and waits at the door.

When she looks at the person, Sunny Ellen feels that she has been deceived.

“That's what you mean?”

Kevin Quinn looks at Bella, who is not far away from him. He also has a headache and doesn’t know why she is here.

At that moment, Bella also saw him. She is about to come over.

“Kevin Quinn, go and solve it. I wait in the car.” She feels that she is caught in an affair, which makes her embarrassed, so she asks Kevin Quinn to go off first.

Kevin Quinn has no choice but to ask Sunny Ellen to stay in the car and he gets out of the car.

“Why are you here?

“Why do you come back so late?”

They say it at the same time and then are stunned.

“Lady first.”

“Where did you drive just now? I seem to have seen you on the road...”

Kevin Quinn is nervous. But he pretends to be calm, “I just went for a ride, and then went to the shopping mall.”

Where he stopped his car is a shopping mall.

Kevin Quinn moves a few steps to the front of the car to block Bella’s view of the car while saying it.

“I thought I was wrong.”

“Well, what can I do for you? You didn't come to see me especially, did you?”

Bella looks unnatural after hearing what Kevin Quinn said, “No, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know what you're busy with recently. So come and have a visit.”

Kevin Quinn says, “You can come to my house in the center of the city. I don't usually live here. Today I come back to get things.”

Bella nods and is about to say something while her phone is ringing suddenly.

She looks different when she kooks at the caller ID.

“What is going on?” Kevin Quinn asks with concern.

“There's something wrong with my work. You know I've just came back recently and I'm busy looking for a job.”

After saying, Bella raises her phone and walks away to answer the phone.

Sunny Ellen hides herself in the car seat, staring at Bella.

She feels that there is something wrong with Bella.

Then she sees that Bella looks different after hearing something on her phone.

But Bella has a quick look at Kevin Quinn who turns his back to her and adjusts her look and then hangs up the phone.

“Kevin, I'm really sorry. I planned to ask you to have dinner, but now I'm afraid I have to go.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Something is wrong with my work. And I am asked to go…”

“Need me to send you there?”

“No, I drove by myself.”

After saying, Bella shakes her car key and hurries to her car.

Sunny Ellen opens the car and gets off after seeing Bella’s car disappearing, “It is so thrilling.”

“Don't ask me to do that again.” This is Kevin Quinn’s first time doing that. He sweats and doesn’t know why he is so nervous.

“Well, you are a PUA(Pick-up Artist)…”

“Ok, it is my fault. Let’s go in.”

“Let’s go.”

Sunny Ellen says urgently after they come in, “Tell me about the content in the diary.”

Kevin Quinn hands the diary to her, “I told you it's all small things. You can read it yourself.”

Sunny Ellen takes over and opens at random.

"September 15, Sunny, Saturday

Today, I was ordered by my master to meet a mysterious man. It was said that the man intended to be an apprentice of my master. And my master asked me to test the man. But I just wanted to say there any qualification needed to be your apprentice?

Of course, I didn’t dare to say it loud. Then I followed the address my master gave. It was a coffee shop. It was said that the mysterious man was wearing a yellow coat and holding a red flower.

When I got to the café shop, I started looking for people with yellow coats, and to my surprise, I saw a woman.

‘Is there anything wrong? Does the master want a woman to be his apprentice?’

‘Younger martial sister. It seems good if there is something between a boy and a girl.’

So I went over her and told her the secret code.

‘Turtles.’

‘Bald monks.’

Well, I directly sat in front of her after matching the strange secret code, ‘May I have your name?’

Perhaps I sound like a libertine. So she did not take it seriously and directly replied, ‘Gentle.’

I didn't know this was her real name at first. After I confirmed it again and again, she said impatiently, ‘My name is Gentle.’

This is our first meeting. In theory, I should appreciate my master.”

Sunny Ellen reads the diary at a glance, telling the first meeting of her father and mother.

“Do you have any impression of your father's master?”

Sunny Ellen recalls that when she was still young, it seemed that there was such a person who came to her home from time to time, and her father and mother respected him very much.

“I remember there was such a man, and there was nothing else.” Sunny Ellen shakes her head. This clue may be stopped.

“Read continuously. And see if there is any content about them going to see their master.”

Sunny Ellen skips a few chapters and goes on reading.

“December 5, Windy, Friday

That day, I was sitting in the office, and my master suddenly called to say that he would come. Of course, I wished for it and said OK.

To my surprise, master also brought a person with him. It was Gentle who I didn’t see for a long time.

‘I haven't seen you for a long time. What have you been busy with recently?’

I asked the master with concern, but in fact, I wanted to know what Gentle was doing.

My master seemed to know what I thought, and ask Gentle directly, ‘Report to him what did you do recently.’

I clearly saw that Gentle blushed. At that moment, my heart beat fast. I couldn't help holding my chest because I was afraid that its movements would scare Gentle...”

“I can't see that your father is still a very affectionate man. What a moved language.”

Kevin Quinn interrupts Sunny Ellen in the half.

Sunny Ellen keeps silent. Because the man in the diary is different from her father she knows.

“…Gentle said something she did recently softly. I couldn’t help leaning forward for the sake of hearing clearly.

She seemed to be scared again. Because she stopped in the half.

My master listened carefully, so he urged her to go on after she stopped, ‘Why do you stop?’

Gentle blushed, ‘He scares me.’

Finally, my master scolded me as a beast.”

“There is no description of who this master is. Where can we find him?”

Kevin Quinn is silent for a long time and opens the account book in his arm, “Let's look for it together. It will be faster.”

Sunny Ellen wants to read the account book in Kevin Quinn 's hand, but he doesn’t give it to her. So she can only continue to read the love note of her parents.

“The first day of the lunar year, Sunny, Sunday

Today, Gentleness and I went to the master's house to pay New Year's greetings. It was difficult to find the location of the master's house. We had a long search on the road, and finally he came to pick us up in person…"

Sunny Ellen is excited after she reads this section. She feels she is close to the truth. “Kevin Quinn, let me finish the whole paragraph.”

“…Master also reproached me on the way, saying that I couldn't find an address. Drive around the road with Gentle. He said he had told me the address.

In fact, I felt a little aggrieved. Because the master said on the phone that it was at the foot of L Mountain, but he didn’t say exactly where it was. I thought it was normal that I couldn’t find it, because there were so many mountains in L Mountain.

However, to my surprise, soft Gentle spoke for me, ‘Master, don’t blame him. It's because I'm too annoyed on the way.’

After hearing that, master looked at me and then Gentle, saying, ‘Don’t speak for him. I know he has no sense of direction.’

So ashamed.”

The following content is a running account, so Sunny Ellen glances at it and closes.

“To the foot of L Mountain, go or not?”
