The man wore a black shirt and had a head of messy white hair. The man looked like he was in his
mid-fifties.
He was wrinkled, and his eyes were ridiculously glassy.
He had a bottle of alcohol with him, and he smelled like cheap alcohol.
Ashlyn stared quietly at him for a while before she said, “I am here for you.”
The man didn’t think that a woman as beautiful as an angel would show up in his place.
He seemed to be in shock and couldn’t help rubbing his eyes. It felt as if he was dreaming.
“A-are you an angel? Did the heaven send you over?”
“Sober up!” ordered Ashlyn cruelly. “Did you buy a woman to be your wife about thirteen years ago?”
The man walked closer to Ashlyn with his head tilted to the side. He scanned her from head to toe and
stared for a long while before saying, “That wife of mine ran away ages ago. Why are you asking about
her now?”
Ah, so this is not a dream, and the woman is actually standing here. Still, this gal is so beautiful.
“Where is she? Who did you sell her off to?” demanded Ashlyn.
“Pfft, she looked weak and gentle but was actually pretty stubborn. She wouldn’t even sleep with me,
so of course, I had to sell her off. Someone paid me to let her stay at my place for a few days, and I
thought that I might be able to get more out of it, but it’s such a pity…” sighed the old man as he sat on
the stool.
The old man reminisced about his young past for a while.
“So, you didn’t buy her?” asked Ashlyn, who immediately caught the key information in his words.
“Why should I tell you? Who do you think you are?” asked the man as he glared at her.
Ashlyn didn’t bother wasting any more time. She grabbed her purse and fished out some cash, tossing
it in front of the old man. “Is this enough to loosen your lips?”
The elderly man’s eyes glowed, and he quickly grabbed the cash to count them.
“Yes, yes, definitely.”
“Then f*cking talk.”
“This village is indeed secluded. When I was younger, I used to go out to hunt in the forest. That was
when I met a man and a woman. They were dragging a beautiful woman along the ground at the time,
and they looked horrified. It was as if someone was chasing after them. They handed me some money
and asked me to keep the woman hidden for a few days. I agreed to those terms and kept her identity
a secret by telling everyone that I bought her. About two weeks later, a bunch of men showed up and
took the beautiful lady away. They even paid me handsomely to keep their arrival a secret. Oh, that
woman was truly beautiful, though,” shared the elderly man sadly.
The man then scanned Ashlyn once more before commenting, “Actually, the two of you look really
similar.”
“What did those people look like? What did the man and the woman who dragged her over look like?”
asked Ashlyn, whose heart was hurting profusely when she heard what the man had said so far. It was
as if a hammer was smashing mercilessly at her chest.
Only one thought kept echoing in her mind. Mom might still be alive! She might be living in some
random corner on earth. Mom survived! Mommy, where are you?
“The man looked handsome, but the woman looked ordinary. I remember the woman’s voice being very
sharp, though. Still, I’ve only met them once, so I don’t really remember much,” answered the elderly
man as he recalled his past.
“Think,” ordered Ashlyn through gritted teeth.
“I’ve already accepted your money, so why would I lie or keep things a secret? I honestly can’t recall
anything,” barked the elderly man loudly.
Ashlyn thought that she couldn’t get more information about those two, so she stopped pushing.
Instead, she asked, “Did you see a little girl? She should be with that woman.”
“There was never a girl, or at least I never saw her,” replied the elderly man.
If mom survived, then where could my baby sister be? Ashlyn frowned in confusion.
She later tossed some more cash at the man and instructed, “Watch your mouth, and don’t tell anyone
that I came looking for you.”
“No problem,” replied the elderly man as he counted the cash happily.

It was already past midnight when Ashlyn drove the car back into the city.
