If Zhu Shuyun is still alive and is the mastermind behind all of this, how do we find him?
Wu Yu raised his face and looked ahead. Tan Jiao, do you see that white building thats furthest away? Can you see the three words that are on top of the building?
I was unsure about what he was trying to do, but I squinted my eyes and took a look. Although I was slightly shortsighted, I could still make out the first row of words. I saw the word bank but was unable to see the other words on the second and third-row because the distance was too great.
Some bank? I said.
He let out a chuckle. Da Tong Eastern bank. The second row writes: We prioritize honesty and diligence. The third row is the English name of the bank. he proceeded to read aloud the English name.
Wow, your eyesight is really impressive. I was dumbfounded and recalled the fact that he managed to spot those birds when we were driving toward Xiaohaos place. What did he say at that time? Hed explain it to me later?
Before I boarded the ship, I had mild short-sightedness with a prescription of about 150. He fixed his gaze at me as if he was anticipating a certain response.
I looked blankly at him briefly before finally asking, Then?
He explained slowly, My eyesight became this way after I got off the cruise. I asked my friends to examine my eyesight, and it was determined that my current visual acuity is 6.0.
My eyes were fixed on his as I felt something in my heart sink, sinking down into the mysteries of the ship called Yunnan Beauty. I never could have imagined that those jet-black eyes of his that I felt had always been hiding something would be hiding a supernatural power.
Whats 6.0 like?
It means Ill be able to see you even if youre ten thousand meters away.
How did this happen?
He shook his head. The doctors couldnt figure out the reason either. But my eyesight became like this at the same time as when I lost my memory.
Its related to that ship?
He nodded.
Although it still seemed unbelievable to me, the fact that there was a flock of birds that could be controlled, the fact that both of us lost similar memories, and how he had developed superhuman vision, led me to think that nothing was impossible now.
Damn, I exclaimed. Why are you still repairing cars when you have superhuman vision? You could
I could what?
After thinking about it briefly, I said, You could appear on a talent show. With your handsome appearance, youll definitely become popular and make lots of money.
Im not that childish.
I thought to myself, Am I childish then?
When we arrived at the road opposite the repair shop, Wu Yu stopped beside a railing beneath a trees shade. While he lit a cigarette, I stayed beside him and kicked the small rocks on the ground.
Noticing his gaze on my legs, I immediately stopped and asked, What are you looking at?
Nothing, he said after raising his face and taking a draw from his cigarette.
Oh. I felt my ears heating up after a while.
This guy is dangerous. Hes smart and cold. What would a woman do if they fell for him?
Then he said, I didnt tell you previously about my eyes because I thought you might get scared. I actually have been suspicious of those birds since the last time I saw them. Since everything is related to the ship, even my eyes
Wu Yu fixed his meaningful gaze on me and continued, Could the ship have also affected that man, thus giving him the ability to control those birds? Since those birds could recognize us and he even left you a note, I think he must have been on that ship. In other words, the Zhu Shuyun were looking for may have been on that ship.
I could not describe the feeling I had at that moment.
His words, like a flash of light, had triggered something in me, and a blurry image surfaced in my mind.
I was strolling on the cruise.
I observed different people there.
A mother and daughter. Wu Yu and Wu Miao walking past the window. A group of colleges. A gloomy-looking man at the side...
Then there was this couplenewlyweds. They stood with their backs to me at that time, and I could only see the sides of their faces. That was probably why I could not recognize them yesterday.
The man was tall and neatly dressed, while the woman had on a seemingly new dress. They were holding hands, and the womans ring was sparkling brightly. Yet, the ring that looked so new one year ago had become worn when I saw it yesterday.
Ive seen him before I heard my quivering, emotion-filled voice. Wu Yu, I saw them on the ship. I know who the real Zhu Shuyun is. But how could he and her
