Chapter 140 Taking Over Resolutely

I looked at Xiang Yunshang with a half-smile. "What do you think?"

Xiang Yunshang shook her head. "I think it's a kind of psychological suggestion. Yun Ya has always felt that Uncle Yun is still alive, so she keeps having the same dream. In fact, subconsciously, she..."

Xiang Yunshang seemed unwilling to upset Yun Ya and stopped halfway through her sentence.

I picked up where she left off. "You mean, subconsciously, she feels that Doctor Yun is already dead? Because the environment Doctor Yun is in, in her dream, is a graveyard."

Xiang Yunshang didn't speak. Yun Ya quickly said, "No... I've asked many masters to calculate my father's whereabouts, and their predictions all say that my father is still alive."

When I looked at Lao Liu, he nodded slightly. "My calculations also indicate that Doctor Yun is still alive, but I don't know where he's living."

"Hmm!" I looked at Yun Ya again. "Does your mother have anything else to say about your father's whereabouts?"

In Yun Ya's memory, her mother had investigated Doctor Yun's whereabouts, and she had clearly concealed many things.

Yun Ya said in a low voice, "My parents divorced not long after, and my mother remarried. She's very happy. I think..."

Xiang Yunshang interjected, "That woman never cared about whether Uncle Yun lived or died. Otherwise, she wouldn't have abandoned her husband and daughter so easily."

I looked at her in surprise. Xiang Yunshang said, "There's nothing I can't say. That woman's remarriage partner is my father. Xiao Ya and I are sisters in the same family, but we're not related by blood. We never call each other 'sister,' we just call each other Xiao Ya and Xiao Xiang."

"Oh, oh..." I couldn't help but rub the bridge of my nose.

I suddenly felt that their family relationship was a bit chaotic, but Xiao Xiang didn't think much of it. "Mr. Li, do you think my family's relationship is a bit chaotic? Actually, it's nothing. There are many things that are even more chaotic than this."

"Alright!" I put my hand down and said, "Miss Yun, before I take on your business, I must explain a few things. If you can do it, I'm willing to take on your business."

"If you can't do it, then I will keep my mouth shut about today's events."

I waited until I saw Yun Ya nod before saying, "I need to understand your father's past. Including some of his privacy. I hope you don't hide anything, because it's directly related to the success or failure of the business."

Yun Ya said softly, "Then can you keep my father's secrets?"

I nodded. "You don't have to doubt that. We, the shushi (practitioners), also have our own professional ethics and bottom lines. We won't reveal our clients' privacy."

The businesses handled by shushi often involve the clients' grievances, love affairs, and hatreds. Some clients even hire shushi to cover up certain unspeakable truths.

Keeping secrets for clients is also one of the iron rules for shushi. Sometimes, these iron rules will test a shushi's conscience, and how to deal with them depends on the shushi himself.

Only then did Yun Ya say, "I believe you."

"Good!" I held up another finger. "Second, I need to see your mother. Your mother was the one who directly investigated your father's disappearance, and she should have key clues in her hands."

Yun Ya said with difficulty, "This... this may be a little difficult. My mother doesn't want to talk about my father, she doesn't even want to mention him. Every time I talk about it, she gets angry. She always says that Uncle Xiang is my father and doesn't allow me to mention anything about my father again."

I couldn't help but frown. This was not going to be easy.

Although Yun Ya didn't go into detail about Doctor Yun's past, I could roughly tell from her words that Doctor Yun's divorce was likely due to her mother falling in love with someone else.

Xiang Yunshang, on the other hand, sided with me. "What are you afraid of? They're allowed to do those things, but other people aren't allowed to talk about them? Besides, you've been looking for Uncle Yun for so many years, and you've been deceived so many times. Now that you've finally found an expert who can help you, are you willing to give up like this?"

Yun Ya bit her lip and didn't say anything. Xiang Yunshang could only sigh and say, "Mr. Li, would it be helpful to you if we could get access to the case files from that year through connections?"

"That would be good!" I nodded slightly. "Miss Yun, I have to say this first. If you still want to stop me when I need to see your mother, I will give up the task. I'll keep half of the deposit."

Only then did Yun Ya nod.

I continued, "I want to know, is your father a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine? If he's a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, does he have a lineage?"

Doctor Yun disappeared that year to save someone, and his disappearance doesn't rule out the possibility that the person he saved repaid kindness with hatred. However, I felt that Doctor Yun himself might have some special qualities. Otherwise, why would the people who took him only abduct him and not kill him?

Yun Ya said, "My father is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and his medical skills were passed down through the family. The Yun family used to be a famous family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. After my father disappeared, no one inherited the Yun family's medical skills."

Yun Ya added, "But we still have relatives of the Yun family in our old home, but they don't seem to know any medical skills."

I raised my eyebrows slightly. "Where is your old home?"
