Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Give Face Back_1
Following the address provided by the private detective agency, Qin Sisi easily found the building where father and daughter Anhe lived. She ascended smoothly to the eighth floor, picked open the balcony window, and jumped in.
Putting away the Wings of Rainbow, she was left with nothing but darkness.
Qin Sisi frowned, wondering when she would be able to see clearly in the dark like Ye You.
However, the very next second, Ye You kindly stretched out his claw and ignited the Ziwei Heaven Fire, illuminating their surroundings once more.
Qin Sisi let out a small sigh of relief, smiled softly, and turned back to Ye You.
A human, a cat, and a ghost entered the house belonging to Anhe and An Yajing. The balcony led into a spacious living room.
One side of the room was furnished with a set of leather sofas and a redwood coffee table, while a large TV hung on the other wall. Despite the lack of decorations, the style of interior design and furniture hinted at the well-off financial situation of the homeowners.
Qin Sisi walked up to the door of the main bedroom where Anhe was theoretically supposed to be resting.
She gently grasped the doorknob, carefully turned it, and found the door was unlocked. She pushed it open.
The three of them stepped into the master bedroom, which was decently tidy. There was a man sleeping soundly on the bed.
Qin Sisi moved towards the window; the man lay facing upwards on the bed. Under the light of the Ziwei Heaven Fire, she could see that the man’s face resembled the one in the picture of Anhe.
However, compared to the picture, the real man looked a lot older. His wrinkles were much clearer, and his hair was substantially thinner.
Although he appeared to be in his forties in the photograph, he now looked like he was in his fifties.
On the bedside table lay a pair of black-rimmed glasses, the same ones from the photograph.
Qin Sisi could now confirm that the man sleeping soundly in this room was Anhe, the father of An Yajing.
Once this information was established, Qin Sisi left the master bedroom and moved towards the adjacent secondary bedroom.
The door to the second bedroom was open. The room was spick and span; the bed was nicely made, no one was inside.
It appeared that no one stayed in this room.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Sisi turned towards the north side of the house.
If this were a three-bedroom house, then there should be another bedroom on this side.
The master bedroom was Anhe’s and the second one was unoccupied, so An Yajing was likely staying in the third bedroom.
Sure enough, there was a door adjacent to the dining table on the wall. This had to be the third bedroom.
Qin Sisi grasped the doorknob, trying to open the door, but it didn’t move. It was locked.
She had to pull her hand back and glanced back at Ye You.
Lock picking was easy for Ye You.
Ye You gave a slight nod, his purple eyes fixating on the lock, blinked once, aiming a faint purple light at it. With a soft "click", the lock was opened.
Qin Sisi waited in silence for a moment, afraid that any noise might rouse anyone inside.
After waiting for a bit, with no sound from inside, Qin Sisi pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as she stepped inside, a strong mix of peculiar smells, including those of cigarette smoke and alcohol, hit her.
Even with a mask on, Qin Sisi found it hard to breathe. She waved her hand in front of the mask, then looked ahead.
Compared to the other two rooms’ tidiness, this room was a mess, with a few items of clothing strewn about the floor. To her surprise, Qin Sisi even spotted women’s underwear amongst them.
Her gaze moved past an ashtray atop a bedside table, full of cigarette butts, and finally came to rest on a huge European-style double bed.
Two bodies laid there, deep in sleep. A thin blanket covered some parts of their bodies but still left enough showing to make clear that both were unclothed.
Tang Xiaomo, the ghost, was shocked by such a sight, looked away disgustingly and muttered, "Shameless!"
Qin Sisi glanced at her, suppressing her discomfort and embarrassment, advanced a few steps further, and got a good look at the faces of the two on the bed.
A man and a woman.
The man was well-built, quite handsome. The private detective agency had mentioned that An Yajing had a tall and handsome boyfriend; not sure about his wealth, but ’tall’ and ’handsome’ did fit him.
The woman had long, curled, wine-red hair, a standard melon-seed face, extremely fair and moist skin, a real stunner. She also looked a lot like the An Yajing in the photographs.
However, to be cautious, Qin Sisi asked Tang Xiaomo to come over, "Tell me if it’s her?"
Tang Xiaomo, a girl in her mid-teens, was repulsed by the sight, but upon hearing Qin Sisi’s call, she bit her lip and approached.
As she saw An Yajing’s striking face, Tang Xiaomo couldn’t contain her hatred and blurted, "That’s her! That’s my face!"
While talking, Tang Xiaomo grabbed Qin Sisi’s arm and pleaded, "You promised to help me get my face back! It’s right here, please help me!"
"Don’t worry," Qin Sisi said soothing, "I need to think of how to do this."
Qin Sisi turned towards Ye You for a suggestion, and he said, "Let me confirm one more time."
Saying that, Ye You jumped down from Qin Sisi’s shoulder, beside An Yajing’s head, and rested his paw on her smooth forehead.
Tang Xiaomo had said that the incident happened five years ago.
Ye You closed his eyes, a stream of spiritual power poured into An Yajing’s body, seeking her memories from five years ago.
After awhile, Ye You let go of An Yajing, jumped back onto Qin Sisi’s shoulder, and confirmed, "Yes, it’s her."
Qin Sisi looked a bit puzzled and asked, "Didn’t you believe so?"
Ye You shook his head and replied, "It’s not that, it’s just that I wanted to be extra careful."
He had paid a heavy price due to negligence before.
Qin Sisi, not yet aware of Ye You’s deep thoughts, didn’t press further and pointed at An Yajing, asking, "What’s your plan?"
Scanning the beauty on the bed coldly, Ye You replied, "Since the original owner requests her face back, let’s remove it and return it."
Even though she was mentally prepared, the thought of this process made Qin Sisi’s scalp tingle.
She frowned slightly and asked, "I think I won’t be able to do it. Can you?"
A moment of silence. Then, with cold, clear eyes, Ye You said, "Whoever put it on, will take it off."
Qin Sisi looked at Ye You in surprise. It was An Yajing’s father, Anhe, who had carried out the face-swapping operation. But why would Anhe agree to remove that face from his own daughter?
Noticing Qin Sisi’s doubt, Ye You confidently explained, "Don’t worry. Whether he agrees or not is not up to him."
