Timeless Love (When Bright Moon Encounter the Dark Clouds) Chapter 19: Tan Jiao 04 (1)

I felt sulky and afraid when I heard Wu Yu ask me why I had come here.

I stared him in the eye, trying to find hints of dishonesty or evil intent. Yet, there was none. His eyes looked clear and bright, showing a deep black color that seemed visible even at night.

That was when I knew that it was not him.

He was not the person that lured me here.

The events started at night when I got home. Everything at home was normal, and nothing was moved from my furniture, household items, the windows to the doors. Even my slippers that I had tossed to the side were where I had left them.

Feeling stuffed after having dinner with Zhuang Yu, I leaned back on the sofa with my filled stomach to watch some TV. When I noticed the box of tissue on the table was finished, I opened the drawer of the coffee table, looking for another box.

Upon opening the drawer, I noticed an eye-catching red envelope lying in there. I neither had any idea what it was nor did I have any recollection of such a letter, so I opened it.

Inside the envelope was a piece of white paper with several rows of words.

“If you want to find out what you’ve lost,

At 10 pm on July 17, the intersection between Baiyun road and Hebin West Road.

Come find me, Tan Jiao.”

I froze as a layer of cold sweat developed as though ants were crawling on my back. Raising my head immediately, I scanned the house, but I only found a pitch-black kitchen, bedroom, and balcony.

It is clear that no one was here, so when did this person intrude upon my home to leave this letter? What is their purpose?

Wait a minute, if this person can do this, they could have easily harmed me. This person wants to see me. Things might be worse if I didn’t do as they say. Furthermore, the police won’t give a damn if it is just a letter.

I took a look at the letter again and noticed the written characters were beautiful and powerful, wild yet elegant. This person must have done plenty of writing to achieve this level of control. Not only that, but judging from the characters, this person seems bold and unconstrained.

I even noticed from the characters in the first two sentences that this person was in a hurry, as the characters were interlinked. However, when they arrived at the last sentence, their writing seemed to have slowed down, as the characters looked tidier. They even lingered slightly on the last stroke of the final word.

What did this mean?

This meant that when they wrote the last sentence, their mood was different from before; there was a change in their mood.

“Come find me, Tan Jiao.”

A chilling thought suddenly sprung into my mind, Is this… from a pervert?

Should I go?

They even said that If you want to find out what you’ve lost.

I brought along a pocket knife and even turned on the Lovey-dovey App on my phone, allowing Zhuang Yu to locate me in real-time and me to ask her for help with the push of a button.

Yet, I never thought that Wu Yu would be the first person I met at the appointed place at that time. He was as shocked as I was, but he forced me against the wall and even interrogated me about who I had come to see.

He’s hiding something as well.

Not long after, that man appeared. My heart skipped a beat the moment I saw him. Could it be him? This filthy-looking strange man? Why is he carrying a child?

As I pondered these questions, Wu Yu had already sprung into action, chasing that man. Immediately, I understood that Wu Yu was trying to save the child. He told me to stay put, but the night fog was already enveloping the surrounding like darkness. I was not going to wait around like a silly woman. I needed to find out what was going on.

I decided to chase after them, but I failed to anticipate the cruelty that the strange man was capable of. As such, my first encounter with a bad person ended with me falling to the ground as a mess.
