Chapter 1995: Chapter 480: Reunion with an Old Friend, The One That Got Away (5)
"After so many years, I never imagined I would see you again. How have you and Yun Ya been all this time?"
Yun Miao looked at the young man in front of him. Since Yue Yi’an appeared on the show, his popularity skyrocketed, momentarily surpassing Shen Luokui’s, though he couldn’t match Yun Ya and Mai Zheng. Despite this, he was a massive sensation, attracting numerous advertisement deals. Yet he suddenly disappeared without a trace, disappearing from the public eye. Unlike Shen Luokui and Mai Zheng, who were tightly protected by their families, Yue Yi’an truly vanished as if into thin air. It wasn’t until everyone gathered two years ago that they realized Yue Yi’an was missing, but the entertainment reporters only managed to uncover that Yue Yi’an had immigrated abroad with his family years ago.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a nephew of Arturo’s most beloved woman, deeply intertwined with the internal upheavals of the Mafia. With the Mafia’s involvement, erasing his tracks would be effortless. With such a background, it’s no wonder Yue Yi’an didn’t appear in the public eye.
"Sit down." Yun Miao sat down at the table and picked up the teapot.
Yue Yi’an glanced at him and sat down opposite him.
"I’m not here to reminisce today."
"I know." Yue Yi’an stared at the teacup before him, his long lashes trembling lightly.
"Is it about Mafia matters?" Yue Yi’an looked up at him.
"Considering our friendship, I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll try to meet any requests you have."
Yue Yi’an laughed self-mockingly, "Thank you."
"Can you tell me the role you and Yun Ya played in this matter?" Yue Yi’an opened his mouth to ask, his gaze fixed tightly on the man in front of him.
Yun Miao sipped some tea and said indifferently, "Do you know Queen?"
This name was like a thunderbolt, suddenly exploding in the young man’s ears. His body instinctively trembled, and he looked at Yun Miao in disbelief.
Yun Miao curled his lips, "Seems like you know."
Swallowing hard, Yue Yi’an said in a deep voice, "People say Queen is Arturo’s mistress. It’s simply laughable. Arturo has to bow and scrape before this woman, even my aunt..." His eyes reddened as he spoke, and the veins bulged on the back of his hand gripping the cup.
"Because of that woman, Arturo even hit my aunt and wanted to kill her. When she realized his intentions, she knew she couldn’t rely on him and planned to escape with my cousin and me, to break free from Arturo’s control. When Arturo discovered it, he wanted to kill my aunt. In panic, she accidentally killed Arturo. This led to internal chaos within the Mafia. Parker and Riche fought for power and mercilessly hunted down my aunt and cousin..."
The young man choked, his face filled with sorrow.
The so-called love was nothing but an illusion. Arturo was Queen’s lapdog, involving a huge conspiracy. Before she died, my aunt personally told him to take my cousin and escape, never to return, to let my cousin forget her, forget revenge, and forget he was Arturo’s son, to live a simple life from then on.
My aunt foresaw all this and arranged everything, but there was a traitor among her people. In the chaos, my cousin and I got separated and were chased by Parker. I couldn’t even save my own life, let alone protect my cousin.
I don’t know where my cousin is now; I failed my aunt’s wishes.
Mingyue raised her eyebrows, recalling the children she saved on the train years ago while traveling from Jiangzhou to Capital City with her mistress. She coldly said, "Is your cousin’s name Yue Songlan?"
Yue Yi’an widened his eyes in shock, looking at Mingyue in disbelief, "How do you know?"
Mingyue chuckled coldly, "So it is?"
Yue Yi’an excitedly said, "Yes, my cousin took my aunt’s surname and is called Yue Songlan. How do you know? Have you seen him?" Yue Yi’an stood up abruptly.
"Miss saved him at the beginning of the year on a train. Miss encountered a drug trafficking group who used children to smuggle drugs. Among the children Miss saved, there was one named Yue Songlan." Mingyue concisely explained, her words indicating the danger at the time. Yue Yi’an felt relieved and smiled, "It was Yun Ya... she saved my cousin, saving him saved my life...."
"Where is my cousin now?"
Mingyue stood by the window with her arms crossed and said unsmilingly, "Miss has people protecting him."
She paused, then continued, "Miss guessed you were in danger and has been looking for you."
