Alice was sitting not far away. She held a cup of coffee and looked at him calmly. Bruce took the call and came back. He sat opposite Alice and did not have a good attitude towards her. “Who are you? Why are you looking for me?”
Alice said calmly, “You are Bruce, right? You are a pirate. You were infamous back then. In recent years, the counter-terrorism deployed army troops to deal with pirates, and you became much more law-abiding.”
“How did you know about my identity?” Bruce was stunned. How did this person know his identity? She looked very terrifying. Alice said calmly, “I naturally have my own channels. I looked for you today to confirm a matter.”
Alice took out a photograph. The little girl with two thick and black ponytails had a brilliant smile. The photograph was old and was frequently handled. The corner had some creases. The fair and pure little girl was exceptionally likable. “Do you know her?”
Bruce looked at her furiously. He had a kind of feeling that he was being manipulated. “Who are you exactly? How did you find me? What do you want? I don’t know you at all.”
“You don’t have to panic. I have no bad intentions towards you. I am even filled with gratitude. Answer my question truthfully. After you have finished answering, I’ll leave,” Alice said gently. The aura of the overbearing female CEO was too cold, and it made others feel wary.
Bruce was doubtful as he looked at her. He glanced at the photograph carefully and shook his head. “I don’t know her.”
Alice stood up. “I’ve disturbed you.”
Bruce was bewildered. He did not know what this woman was doing. She came and left without any apparent reason. Alice got into the car. Her face did not look kind. The phone rang. “Alice, the test results are out.”
“I’m coming immediately!”
…
When Alice went back to Emma’s apartment, it was already early morning. She had the smell of liquor on her body. Emma welcomed her worriedly. “Sister, you worked overtime until so late again?”
She took out the slippers attentively and went to the kitchen to pour some water. She carried it to Alice. Alice smiled and looked at her. Her expression was gentle. The eyes behind the glasses were like a pool of deep water.
“I have been busy recently. Didn’t I let you sleep first?”
“When Sister is not back, I cannot sleep. You forgot that you just had an operation last year. Don’t work so hard. Your health is important. Our family is also not in need of money.”
Alice raised her eyebrows. “Our family is not in need of money?”
Emma nodded her head and supported her to sit down. Alice smiled. “Yes. You also said it right. We are not in need.”
Emma sat down. “Sister, you have been discussing a collaboration case with MISS recently. Is it smooth?”
“Very smooth.”
“I heard that Ye Tingyun is very picky with his collaboration partners. When he was choosing his collaboration partner before that, he would consider for very long. You had also rejected him once. Why did he agree to talk about collaborating with you again?” Emma asked curiously.
Alice lowered her head and drank the water. “Who knows.”
Emma smiled shyly. “I feel that Sister should give me some credit.”
“Oh, why do you say that?”
“Maybe he is giving me some face.” Emma was also used to talking casually to Alice during these few years. If it were a few years ago, she absolutely would not dare to talk like this to Alice.
Alice raised her eyebrows and waited perplexedly for her to explain. Emma said, “Because we knew each other since we were young. He had been looking for me for many years. The MISS building was named to commemorate me. He established technology and communications and developed communication technology. It was not only for his career, but it was also because he wanted to look for me. MISS’s host is even my composite image.. It is lifelike.”
