Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 731

Serge was lost in his thoughts and doubts, but there was no time for him to think further as he was here to investigate and find out the truth.

According to his source of information, Dr. Ouyang's lab was here. He had seen nothing suspicious so far except an ordinary house along the way. Could it be that the lab was in a very secret place?

Serge had investigated Ouyang's parents. They had already passed away. He was still a single man, so it was difficult to find out anything about him.

"How much money did Eve pay you? I can pay you double." Serge crossed his arms and looked at the doctor haughtily.

Dr. Ouyang was stunned at first but pretended not to understand. He turned his head, lifted the kettle with his slender fingers, and skillfully fiddled with the tea set.

"Eve? Who's Eve?" Ouyang played dumb. He was very familiar with the name, but he decided to feign ignorance.

"Don't tell me you don't know Eve. You should keep in mind that I wouldn't have come here if I hadn't found a connection between the two of you. I have enough evidence in my hands. Do you want me to show you the call log?" Serge's eyes were sharp, and his attitude was even colder.

Ouyang shivered, suddenly a little frightened by the powerful presence of the young man in front of him. He closed his eyes, thought for three seconds, and smiled. "I really don't know what you're talking about."

"Eve transfers five million to your account every month. In your last transaction, the money was transferred on the tenth day of the month." Serge was holding a file in his hand, which contained evidence of the close association between Dr. Ouyang and Eve.

Ouyang continued to play dumb. He smiled awkwardly. "Oh? Does she? Who knows where and how you got your so-called evidence? Maybe you're trying to frame me."

"As a doctor, do you know basic ethics? How could you do such an immoral thing?" Serge was so angry that he clenched his fist. He really wanted to punch Dr. Ouyang. Nathan had told him that Ouyang was still of use to him. If Adrian was infected with the bacteria developed by the doctor, then he must have the cure.

"I still don't understand what you're talking about. Besides, I haven't been a doctor for a long time. Ethics have nothing to do with me," Ouyang said half-jokingly, the corner of his mouth twitching.

When he found out that Eve wanted to inject Adrian with the bacteria, Dr. Ouyang opposed it. After all, Adrian was only a four-year-old child. No matter how much hatred he had in his heart, Dr. Ouyang still thought the child was innocent. He did not think he could do such a thing, but somehow, there was a strange thing in his heart that goaded him.

Maybe his personal feelings made him do this. Mandy was the last student of Elizabeth. Over the years, she had been contacting Elizabeth from time to time and maintained a good relationship with her. Ouyang just wanted to see Elizabeth again so that she would not look down upon him. Because of that, he agreed to do what Eve asked him to do.

During his last year in college, Ouyang underwent a laser operation that removed his birthmark. He was much more handsome coming out of surgery. Then, he gradually gained friends. He was no longer alone. In summer vacation that year, Shawn came back home early due to family reasons. Ouyang found an opportunity to express his love for Elizabeth, but she refused him. Her firm words were still ringing in his mind.

"Elizabeth, I love you. I've been in love with you since you entered this school." With a bunch of roses in his hands, Ouyang stood before Elizabeth under the scorching sun.

Elizabeth had just come out of the library with two books in her arms. She gave him a scornful smile and said meaningfully, "Well... Good for you, but I can't give you the answer you want to hear. Excuse me."

His heart broke. He had secretly been in love with Elizabeth for five years. He finally seized the opportunity and mustered the courage to confess his love to her only to end up ruthlessly rejected.

Elizabeth was in a quarrel with Shawn at that time, so she thought then that men were all bad guys. She could not vent her anger, so she had to vent it on Ouyang.

It was only his bad luck that Ouyang confessed to her that day.

If he did not confess to her, they would have still been friends. But after that day, they became strangers once again.

"I'm sorry. Sorry to bother you," Ouyang said awkwardly, standing under the sun with a large bouquet of roses in his hand. After his confession failed, even the air around them hovered awkwardly.

Elizabeth looked at him, thinking, 'Well, I don't really know him. And he doesn't know me either. Isn't it frivolous behavior for a man who doesn't even know me to confess to me? I definitely prefer someone who is more reliable.'

On that day, after refusing Ouyang, Elizabeth strode away without looking back.

Ouyang, who had never gone to a bar, drank his pain away that night and stumbled back to school after the bar closed at four o'clock in the morning.

He finally realized that love was something that was not for him.

Then, two years after Elizabeth graduated from college, she got married to Shawn. Shawn even transferred the headquarters of their family business to the UK in order to be closer to Elizabeth. They were a perfect match, and their love story was widely known.

On May 20th, at the biggest church in England, Shawn and Elizabeth held their wedding ceremony. They were blessed by the guests. Almost all their classmates attended their wedding. Some of them came from thousands of miles away from all over the globe.

Ouyang was there, too.

The smell of magnolia flowers floated in the air. At the church, Ouyang stood in a remote corner and watched Elizabeth exchange vows with Shawn. They kissed deeply in the end, which really shattered his heart.

From then on, Ouyang traveled around the world alone. He had visited over seventy countries in ten years and more than two hundred cities. Still, he had not found a place to get settled.

In the end, Ouyang decided to return to his hometown, City A. He grew up here and had witnessed the flourishing of the city. More than forty years ago, City A was not like today. There were not many high rise buildings, and at that time, most of the establishments were residential buildings. He still remembered that small alley where the sky looked small but very blue.
