Trafford's Trading Club-Novel

When Lui Yiyun came back to Lui Buhai’s room, she didn’t see Luo Qiu.

The girl frowned with suspicion. She walked towards Lui Buhai and found out that her grandpa was still the same.

‘No! He wasn’t the same!’ Lui Yiyun felt the tiny difference Lui Buhai showed compared to before. He was quieter than ever.

The girl couldn’t find the slight intelligence remained in her grandpa’s eyes. It was like the person sitting there was just a human body.

She became a little terrified.

Watching this pair of cloudy eyes, the girl stepped back little by little. She covered her mouth until she touched the windowsill.

Lui Yiyun opened the window by instinct, she didn’t want to face Lui Buhai with this appearance. So she stuck her head out of the window, breathing in deeply.

Someday, he would forget about everything: his relatives, his home, his everything even himself. This was a symptom of Alzheimer, which couldn’t be changed at all.

The girl knew about it at a very early time--- in the society nowadays that was so informative, young guys would always manage to master what they want to know in a variety of ways.

She knew it before.

However, she only hoped that it came later. One year, one month, one day, even one hour later.

The girl still didn’t feel better after breathing mouthful of fresh air one by one added with salty flavor near the sea.

Lui Yiyun was not as strong as she imagined.

Her tears couldn’t mix with the sea but dropped in her palm, then flew down on the window frame without sound. However, she saw a young man overlooking something on the side lawn.

Lui Yiyun opened the door of the balcony, stepping down through the side stairs and arriving at the lawn.

She went to the young man subconsciously.

She didn’t act that on purpose... even she felt a little regretful in her heart. Because he was looking towards the direction of Hear-The-Sea Cliff.

"It should be noisy there."

Luo Qiu turned around to look at Lui Yiyun, saying softly.

...

"Did you do or say something to my grandpa?"

The girl guessed that something had happened just now.

Luo Qiu showed a slight hint of a smile. He tried to give the girl some quiet time, saying, "What’s your opinion?"

Ren Ziling was an easy-going person. Lizi was simple and easy to be seen through. As to You Ye, she was very mysterious. These were what the girl thought of them--- and the one in front of her was both mysterious and hard to get along with.

"I!" Lui Yiyun moved her gaze away to the sea, "I don’t know."

Luo Qiu nodded, throwing his attention in the direction of Hear-The-Sea Cliff. "Wu Qiushui didn’t come back, which means your mother might be thrown down from the top at any time but it seems you aren’t worried about her."

"How could that be!" Lui Yiyun gritted her teeth, "I want to go there... but, but only leaving my grandpa here... I..."

"You don’t want her to be thrown down right?" Luo Qiu asked her more directly.

"No, I don’t." Lui Yiyun raised her head.

"She’s not your biological mother."

"I, I just knew that."

"Have you eaten something?"

"What? I ate something..."

"What did you eat? Who cooked him? What much time did you take it? How much? Noodle or rice? How much do you usually eat? Which university did you apply for before taking the university entrance exam? Did anyone apply for the same university? You knew she’s not your real mother before? Do you have a partner? When? When did you know it? Who is your boyfriend? How tall is he? What’s his name? Does he like you?"

"Congee", "I made it", "5 in the morning", "One bowl", "Congee", "One bowl", "Tsi Guang University", "I knew that", "No", "No", "No partner", "Before the exam", "I said I didn’t have boyfriend", "I don’t know", "I don’t know, "I told you I had no boyfriend, how did I know... that."

He asked a series of questions, and the girl answered them at his pace. She didn’t know why she answered his questions so quickly.

It was like her instinct, these continuous questions made her... cover her mouth in amazement.

She knew that.

Before the university entrance exam.

"You... you set a trap!" the girl glared at him with rage.

Luo Qiu shook his head, "I didn’t force you or ask you to answer me immediately. Why did you answer following my speed?"

Lui Yiyun gaped.

Luo Qiu continued, "Your dad is not in the clinic."

Lui Yiyun said unconsciously, "How is that possible!"

"Your father went missing at the clinic? Why not?"

"Because!"

Lui Yiyun moved her lips, but couldn’t talk.

"Why did Lui Chaosheng help you... or, why did you help him?" Luo Qiu asked after a sigh of relief.

Lui Yiyun lowered her head. She knew that she couldn’t hide everything thing but she was still very puzzled, "When... did you discover that? Is it because you saw my smile in the kitchen?"

"That time, I was sure you were suspicious." Luo Qiu talked calmly, "I suspected you since yesterday."

Lui Yiyun was surprised, "Yesterday?"

Luo Qiu nodded, "You acted a little bit weird in that noodle restaurant."

Lui Yiyun didn’t still understand, "What was my reaction?"

Luo Qiu said, "That should be the second patient we saw. By right, you should not show that kind of overtly frightened expression before turning about, because you’ve seen that before. But the fact is... you turned about, and then someone came in."

Luo Qiu explained it carefully, "That kid is at your age. He is the son of the noodle restaurant landlady and that senior’s grandson. Since he is the same age as you, then you should know each other because there’s only one village elementary school, and every student has to go to the town to continue their studies in middle school and high school. You should be a classmate of him but you didn’t want that boy to see you."

Lui Yiyun said unfathomably, "Just because of this detail?"

Luo Qiu shook his head, "No, I just felt weird at the beginning that why you didn’t want to greet him. Then I knew that probably because your family is not welcome in this village and you may also have a hard time at school. I didn’t think deeply about it but that drew my attention. That was until this morning in the kitchen and you heard the sound coming from outside."

He faced Lui Yiyun, looking at her eyes, "Don’t you know? That besides the smile, your look was calm, which gave me the feeling that you knew everything before that happened."

"Then... why did you ask the thing about my father..."

"I just asked like a policeman." Luo Qiu shook his head, "No. A policeman will be more professional."

How was it like at home when someone’s dad was a policeman?

He could easily get access to the books about tracking and techniques of interrogation.

The current club boss used to have a dream. He temporarily worked hard to read those books that were hard to be understood just to become a policeman like his father.

Lui Yiyun’s gaze changed.

She took a deep breath. Without her former spirit, she was completely like another person.

In several seconds, she appeared to finish the transformation from a girl to an adult... her look turned piercing, "I thought Ren Ziling is the first one I should watch out. I didn’t expect you to be the one."

Luo Qiu said softly, "No, I’m different from her. It’s right to beware of her because she’ll know the truth sooner or later. She acts like a rat who always get what it wants."

Lui Yiyun put her hands back secretly, looking at Luo Qiu leisurely, "No matter who knows it. Right, it’s me who put Lui Chaosheng up to hide my father and spread the virus. Before dying, I can tell you that even Grandpa A Bao is under my control..."

"But I want to help you."

"Excuse me?"

The girl’s palm that was hidden behind. She initially wanted to use it to take action but it became stiff all of a sudden.

Because... she could not guess at all what this guy was intending to do!
