44. Nancheng Lie’s Doubts

 

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

 

Nancheng Lie’s eyes darkened. He looked earnestly at Li Qinghao’s sleeping face. He didn’t look like Xu at all, but for some unknown reason, he gave Nancheng a strong feeling of familiarity.

Nancheng Lie got up from the sofa, took a quilt from his bedroom and put it over Li Qinghao. The sleeping man let out a low groan. Maybe because Nancheng Lie’s scent that was left on the quilt gave him a sense of security, a faint smile couldn’t help but form onto his lips.

Nancheng looked at Li Qinghao for a while and went to his study. He phoned his second brother, “Bro, I want to ask you something.”

“What’s up?”

“When I sent the injured Li Qinghao and Xu to the hospital two years ago, did I miss anything?”

“What do you mean?”

“For example…” For example, they two swapped identity. However, Nancheng Lie could not take these words out of his mouth. “Anyway, I have a strange feeling. It makes me very afraid.”

“What do you feel?”

“I… I feel that Xu who’s living in Han Mansion is not… is not the person I know. What’s more… I have recently met a strange man, and there’s something vaguely familiar about him. You may think it’s just my illusion, but I have a hunch that man… that man seems to be trying to tell me something.” Nancheng Lie thought back to the day when he met Li Qinghao again. At that time, Li Qinghao finally woke up after two years of coma. Besides “long time no see”, he also said many other inexplicable words. Combined with his subconscious behaviors, it gave Nancheng Lie a hint that this man was the real Hang Mingxu.

He must be more than a similar-looking person.

But was he really Hang Mingxu? Logic prevailed and Nancheng Lie convinced himself that Li Qinghao was not Hang Mingxu. It was easy to change into a new face by plastic surgery, but what about his height? Li Qinghao and Xu were of different heights. What was more… Nancheng Lie clenched his fist and had an idea.

“Bro, please do me a favour. I want you to do DNA tests for Li Qinghao and Xu.”

There was a chill in the air, and the sleeping youth was awakened by the cold. Li Qinghao opened his eyes and the dazzling light hurt his eyes. But the next second he came back to his senses. How could he fall asleep at Nancheng Lie’s house? The bright light made people forget the darkness. However, the man who just woke up from a dream couldn’t help but look out of the window. The night was pressing up against the windows. The huge difference between dark and light was unacceptable to him for a moment.

Li Qinghao got up from the sofa, skillfully took out some coffee beans and ground them into powder, then he made a cup of coffee for himself. In fact, he didn’t like coffee. But at this moment, he needed it to refresh himself.

With the steaming coffee in his hand, he came up to the window and looked out of it. There was a misty rain outside, looking like a Chinese ink and wash painting. He took a sip of coffee and felt the pleasantness of the warm liquid down his throat. His cold body warmed up. He quietly leaned against the window…

At Han Mansion.

Sitting in the car, Nancheng Lie felt nervous and uneasy. He shouldn’t doubt Mingxu, but his heart was more inclined to believe that Li Qinghao was the real Han Mingxu… He looked sideways at the passenger seat, on which there was Han Mingxu’s favorite food. Mingxu… Nancheng Lie clenched his fists and finally decided to get off.
