Chapter 384: Chapter 384: It Is a Photograph

The director didn’t dare disturb him; the two sat for half an hour before Bo Yunshen suddenly stood up, pushed open the door of the private room, and strode out.

The director was startled, jumped to his feet, and followed Bo Yunshen: "Mr. Bo... Mr. Bo?"

The man stopped abruptly, and the director’s voice was cautious: "Mr. Bo, Miss Yinyin’s surgery, you haven’t given instructions yet..."

Bo Yunshen raised an eyebrow with a sharp look: "What do you mean by that?"

"She’s my daughter, not having the surgery. Are you worried our Bo Family can’t afford it?"

Cold sweat nearly burst from the director’s forehead.

He always knew Bo Yunshen wasn’t easy to deal with, but it was his first time facing his unpredictable mood.

"No... no..."

Bo Yunshen glanced at the director, and the latter fell silent.

He turned and strode out of the Night Club, found his car.

Getting in the car, his urge to smoke surfaced again. He took a cigarette from the pack and lit it for himself.

As he tossed the lighter onto the dashboard, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye towards the passenger seat.

Under the coat, there was a bulge.

Bo Yunshen sat up straight. Was this Qin Yan’s bag?

He extended his long arm, lifted the coat, and picked up the bag.

Qin Yan didn’t realize she left it?

He held the cigarette, the flickering light reflecting on him, his gaze calm and cool.

He then opened Qin Yan’s cardholder; her ID card and bank card were all there.

Bo Yunshen looked at the ID card in the holder, issued long ago.

Qin Yan still had a bit of youth in her face, smiling sweetly at the camera.

She was beautiful, even in ID photos, her beauty was undiminished.

Bo Yunshen rubbed his thumb over Qin Yan’s photo, his tongue pressed against his lips.

Tsk, Qin Yan’s face is quite striking.

A faint smile appeared in his eyes, but almost immediately, Bo Yunshen reined it in neatly. He casually flipped to the next page.

Bo Yunshen’s pupils contracted.

His hand holding the cardholder trembled.

It was a photo, a photo for a wallet.

Placed in the cardholder, just the right size.

What shocked Bo Yunshen was that this group photo was of him and Qin Yan.

It seemed like it was taken over a decade ago.

Outside, the lights were sparse, and Bo Yunshen couldn’t see clearly, so he turned on the car’s interior light.

Both of them had a bit of youth on their faces. Bo Yunshen scrutinized it carefully, even recognizing the clothes he was wearing.

It was a school uniform.

A high school uniform, from Tong City First High School.

He indeed attended Tong City First High School. So the lie lies in the photo.

Or in other words, Bo Yunshen couldn’t quite accept it; the photo was taken very beautifully.

He was lying on the grass, holding Qin Yan who was also in a uniform, tilting his head to kiss her...

This posture, like a selfie.

Over a decade ago...

Did he know Qin Yan?

Almost the moment this thought surfaced, Bo Yunshen squashed it immediately.

Impossible.

His first love was Manman, and when he was in Tong City First High School, he should have been dating Manman.

Though his memory isn’t fully intact, Bo Yunshen was confident he wasn’t the type to juggle two relationships.

Bo Yunshen pressed his lips.

Qin Yan must have discovered her bag while driving and deliberately put her photo in it.

He had such a strong sense of cleanliness, from the age of three, how could he possibly roll on the ground holding a woman?

Bo Yunshen felt a bit flustered; in the photo, he appeared relaxed, with a handsome face full of affection...

His mind throbbed slightly; he seemed moved and familiar with this photo for a moment.

But it was only a moment.

As a cigarette burned out, Bo Yunshen stubbed it out, opened the car window, and tossed it out.

He stared intently at the photo and made a call to Gu Jinyan.

The other end seemed to be sleeping, his tone less than pleasant: "Old Bo, calling at this hour?"

"You’d better have something serious!"

Bo Yunshen suppressed his eyebrows, emotions surging beneath his gaze: "Old Gu, do me a favor."

"What?"

His tone was somewhat serious, ensuring Gu Jinyan was instantly alert and awake, asking softly, "What’s up?"

"Help me verify the authenticity of a photo."

Gu Jinyan was a little taken aback: "I’m not skilled in that area..."

"I do have a friend who’s quite proficient at it, but he’s currently not in the country and will be back in a few days."

"A few days?"

Gu Jinyan pursed his lips: "Four or five days, maybe."

"Let me know when he comes back."

Gu Jinyan agreed and asked again: "What’s the photo that makes it so urgent?"

Bo Yunshen shook his head, chuckled softly: "It’s nothing, maybe I’m just overthinking."

He’d been with Manman for so many years, knowing very well what kind of person she was.

This photo, it couldn’t be real.

Bo Yunshen’s brow darkened a bit; Gu Jinyan suddenly chuckled: "It’s related to sister-in-law again, isn’t it?"

"Old Bo, there’s nothing shameful about a man loving his wife!"

"Just lower your head to her first, will it kill you?"

Gu Jinyan’s words carried a hint of teasing.

Bo Yunshen furrowed his brow, sneered: "If I liked Qin Yan? That’s rarer than the sun rising in the west!"

"It’s you who’s had a crush on Lu Xiangxiang for so many years without any breakthrough; Old Gu, I’m really afraid you’ll stay single your whole life!"

Bo Yunshen finished, not waiting for Gu Jinyan to speak, he directly hung up the phone.

Gu Jinyan cursed with a smile at the phone, then tossed it aside and lay back in bed, falling soundly asleep.

In contrast, Bo Yunshen turned, glanced steadily at the photo.

After some hesitation, he pulled the photo from the cardholder, fished out his wallet from his pocket, and placed the photo inside.

He still planned to have this photo authenticated, and it would be more convenient to keep it in his wallet.

After putting away the wallet, Bo Yunshen turned around, started the car, and drove away.

Fifteen minutes later, at the hospital entrance.

Bo Yunshen didn’t drive in; he left his car by the roadside and headed directly to the ward.

The lights inside were off; Bo Yunshen didn’t go in but stood at the window, looking inside, seeing only an old woman lying on the bed.

His expression paused slightly.

Suddenly he remembered, in front of him earlier, the director had arranged for Qin Yan and Qin Yinyin to be transferred to another ward.

Bo Yunshen pulled out his phone but then suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Isn’t Qin Yan quite tough? If he called Qin Yan now, wouldn’t he be serving himself up for Qin Yan to take advantage?

As for the photo, the reason Qin Yan was so confident in slapping Manman and dousing her with coffee, was surely because she anticipated he’d eventually see the photo.

If he were to be nice to Qin Yan now, she’d probably dare stab Manman later.

He must not boost Qin Yan’s arrogance!

Bo Yunshen sneered, walked to the nurse’s station, and with a bland gaze, asked the on-duty nurse: "To which ward was Qin Yan transferred?"
