Chapter 720
Zhuang Nainai took the phone and saw that the call was from an unidentified caller from Beijing . Immediately thinking of Hu Zi, she quickly said, “Let me call back . ”
Zhuang Nainai made the call, but after two rings on the other end, the call got cut off .
Zhuang Nainai raised her brows and made another call, but the person had switched off his or her phone .
She sighed .
After that, Si Zhengting called her while she was having her lunch .
“How is it? Did you get to see my mother?” Zhuang Nainai asked anxiously .
Si Zhengting replied, “I just got off the airplane and I haven’t arrived . Don’t worry, I’ll call you as soon as I meet your mother . ”
“Okay . ” As Zhuang Nainai spoke up ’til here, she realized something . “Go grab something to eat first . After all, we’ve verified that she’s the real thing, and nothing will go wrong with your people on watch . ”
Si Zhengting smiled as he heard her say this . “Don’t worry . ”
Zhuang Nainai grunted in assent and was about to say something more when her phone began ringing . Lowering her head, she realized that it was from the unidentified number calling from Beijing once more . Stunned, she quickly told Si Zhengting, “Then I’ll hang up first, okay? There’s a call coming in . ”
With that, she picked up the call from the unidentified number . “Hello . ”
For a period of time, nobody spoke .
It was only after a few moments that an unfamiliar male voice came on the line . “Ms . Zhuang?”
Zhuang Nainai replied immediately, “Yes, it’s me . Are you Hu Zi?”
The other party paused once more before replying, “Yes . ”
Zhuang Nainai’s heart rose in her chest . “Can you tell me who the person who ran over my mother all those years ago was? I’m not looking for revenge, and neither am I asking for your money; I just want to know the truth . ”
Hu Zi fell silent, causing Zhuang Nainai to become anxious . “Hu Zi, I know you had reasons for doing what you did all those years ago, but have you ever thought about our feelings? My mother developed a mental illness after being run over by you, and back then, she needed 300,000 dollars for her operation . Thereafter, she still had to go for physiotherapy and follow-up checks . I’ve been supporting my family all these years . Your friend has shown so much brotherhood, and I’m sure you’re also someone who’s chivalrous . You’re a good person, and all I ask from you is the truth of the matter all those years ago . Who was the one who hurt my mother? Why can’t you tell me something as simple as this?”
Hu Zi went quiet after hearing this .
His silence made Zhuang Nainai feel more and more disappointed .
Just as she took a deep breath, Hu Zi said, “I can tell you . ”
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes brightened instantly . “Please tell me . ”
But Hu Zi was evidently very cautious . “It’s not convenient for me to talk to you over the phone . I need to meet you and confirm your identity before I can tell you the truth . ”
Five years ago, when Mother Zhuang had gotten into the accident, Zhuang Nainai had met him at the police station before . It was therefore not surprising that Hu Zi had an idea of how she looked like .
Upon hearing this proposition, Zhuang Nainai glanced at her stomach . She hesitated for a while, then said, “Okay, tell me where . ”
She agreed to meet him at a coffee shop — in other words, a public place . After hanging up, she made a call to Ji Chen and got him to make the necessary arrangements .
Zhuang Nainai couldn’t pretend to be strong right now . She had to ensure that nothing would go wrong because she had her two precious children in her womb to take care of now .
The only thing was, if she were to bring a man over to wait for Hu Zi, Hu Zi would surely be on his guard .
Eventually, she decided to look for Ding Mengya to accompany her to the meeting .
