However, when they rushed to Mr. Tang's manor and entered his room, they didn't find any treatment plan related to Yan Yincheng's eyes on his bedside table.
Not finding that document, Han Bei thought it was because he was getting old and his eyesight was not good, so he might have missed it.
But Xu Zixi had perfect vision and excellent foreign - language skills. She not only rummaged through Mr. Tang's bedside cabinet carefully but also searched his room, study, and document room thoroughly. Still, she couldn't find any useful information for Yan Yincheng.
The only things left in the whole manor were the detailed records of Mr. Tang's previous treatments for Yan Yincheng's eyes. Not only were they old, but they were also ineffective treatment plans.
Xu Zixi thought that if Mr. Tang didn't misremember the location of the document, then it must have been taken by someone.
She voiced her speculation. Han Bei's expression changed immediately. He immediately had the whole manor locked down, then took Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng to the manor's monitoring room to check the movements of everyone in the manor since Mr. Tang was seriously ill and hospitalized.
To their disappointment, they found nothing.
No one had entered Mr. Tang's room since he was hospitalized.
Xu Zixi stared at the seemingly flawless surveillance video and frowned tightly. Her sixth sense told her that things were far from that simple.
With Han Bei's permission, she used the computer to access the background of the monitoring system and found traces of being hacked.
Although the hacker had been very careful, there were still some tell - tale signs.
"Someone invaded the background of the monitoring system and deleted the parts where he entered the manor. This hacker is highly skilled. He doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. Moreover, he seems to be very familiar with the layout and terrain of the whole manor. The paths he chose were the areas with the fewest cameras. He must have been here before."
Xu Zixi's words shocked Han Bei greatly. "Could it be someone from the manor?"
Xu Zixi shook her head. "If it was someone from the manor, there would be no need for him to invade the monitoring background and erase his traces. He could have easily bribed Mr. Tang's servants to get the things for him."
This unexpected result made both Xu Zixi and Han Bei feel a bit sad.
What saddened Xu Zixi was that the opportunity Yan Yincheng had been waiting for for so many years was taken away like this. She didn't understand why that person did it. What could he achieve by taking this document?
Han Bei was sad because someone had stolen from the manor when Mr. Tang was critically ill. If he knew who did it, he would surely make that person pay a heavy price!
However, Yan Yincheng was much more optimistic than the two of them.
"Even if it was taken away, since Dad Tang has already found the treatment method, there must still be hope." He said firmly. "Mr. Tang is not the only ophthalmology expert in the world."
That night, they stayed in Mr. Tang's manor.
The loss of the document made Xu Zixi extremely anxious. There was also an indescribable sense of urgency in her heart. After a 24 - hour flight from Country C to Country A and then being busy attending to Mr. Tang's funeral, although her body was extremely exhausted, she still couldn't fall asleep.
In a corner of the document room, a portable desk lamp was on. Xu Zixi was sitting on the floor, wrapped in a coat, poring over the documents beside her.
Thanks to her achievements in her previous life, her professional level was excellent. She had no difficulty reading Mr. Tang's documents. Instead, she read them very smoothly. But with each document she turned over, her frown deepened.
There was nothing, not a single bit of useful information in these documents.
After turning to the last page, she put down the document in her hand and picked up another one. This was the diagnosis record of Yan Yincheng when he was 15 years old. Taking a deep breath, she rubbed her eyes and continued reading.
Suddenly, the door of the document room creaked softly. Someone walked in. Xu Zixi looked up and saw it was Yan Yincheng. Her nose suddenly felt sour, and she felt inexplicably sad.
But she didn't say anything. She just stubbornly lowered her head and continued reading the words in the document.
Yan Yincheng walked to her side and sat down on the floor beside her.
"How's it going? Have you found anything?" he asked. His voice was gentle, as if he was afraid of upsetting her.
Although he couldn't see, his perception was extremely sharp. He could clearly hear her abnormal state.
Xu Zixi's voice was muffled. "Not yet."
"Silly girl." Yan Yincheng raised his hand and stroked her hair. "I've said you can take these documents away at will. We can go back to Haicheng and read them slowly. There's no need to rush."
Xu Zixi couldn't hold back any longer. She nestled into his arms, pressing her face against his chest and listening to his steady heartbeat.
"But I'm not willing to give up. Since Mr. Tang could come up with a way to treat you, I'm sure I can find some clues in these documents. I can do it. I believe in myself."
"I believe in you too." Yan Yincheng said. "But I don't want you to put too much pressure on yourself. I've been waiting my whole life. I'm used to it. I don't mind waiting a few more years."
"Who on earth took the document? Brother Cheng, did you ever make any enemies in Country A?" Xu Zixi asked.
"Of course not." Yan Yincheng said. "I only went abroad for medical treatment. How could I make enemies?"
"Could it be Mr. Tang's enemy? That's why he knew the routes in the manor and the locations of the cameras?"
Yan Yincheng said, "It's possible."
After a pause, he said, "Well, this is not your responsibility. Don't take it on yourself. We still have to go to California to investigate Xiong Han. You're tired. You should rest. Come back with me, okay?"
Xu Zixi looked up and kissed his chin. "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
The two of them left the document room hand in hand. Han Bei couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. He planned to go out for some fresh air and saw the backs of the two of them leaving together.
He stood there and watched for a long time. Only when he could no longer see them did he let out a soft sigh.
The next day, Yan Yincheng bid farewell to Han Bei with Xu Zixi and the two kids.
"Uncle Bei, we still have something to do in California. But don't worry. I will surely bury Dad Tang and his family's ashes in the place he specified according to his last wishes."
"Also, could you please find someone to send all the documents in the document room back to Haicheng in Country C? My fiancée really needs these documents."
Han Bei nodded. "Okay, I'll have someone do it right away. I hope Miss Zixi can successfully find a way to treat your eyes and help you see again."
Then, he bent down slightly and lovingly stroked the heads of the two kids.
"Two young gentlemen, I hope there will be many more opportunities to see you in the future. See you later."
Although the kids were a bit reluctant to leave this huge and beautiful manor, they also knew it was time to go. Waving their little hands, the kids said,
"Goodbye, Uncle!"
They used the new foreign language they had just learned, and their pronunciation was very accurate. It surprised Han Bei for a long time.
The car started and drove towards the airport. This trip to Texas was full of regrets.
When the car arrived at the airport, there was still some time before the plane took off. Worried that the two kids might be hungry, Xu Zixi asked Yan Yincheng to stay there and take care of the kids while she went to buy some food for the three of them.
After buying hamburgers and cola and just as she was about to return to Yan Yincheng, a face that flashed by in the crowd completely caught her attention.
