Chapter 862: The Truth about Eight Years Ago! (10)
Qiao Lian continued, “So do you know where his accident took place?”
The captain was stunned and shot back, “What accident? The person who had an accident was Zi Chuan, not Soul Fighter.”
Qiao Lian pointed at the tombstone and said, “Right, the place of his accident, do you know where?”
The captain thought for a while and replied, “I don’t know. At the time, I only went to pay my respects and I really don’t know much else.”
She could find no other meaningful information related to this matter.
Qiao Lian sighed and nodded.
She stood there for a while. The captain asked, “What did you mean by what you just said?”
Qiao Lian raised an eyebrow at him.
“You said that the person on the tombstone is Soul Fighter?”
Qiao Lian looked towards the captain.
After a moment, she nodded. “Yes.”
The captain said, “But Zi Chuan’s relatives told me that this was Zi Chuan. You-”
At this point, he was suddenly aware that the person before him was Xiao Qiao.
Xiao Qiao knew Soul Fighter and Zi Chuan a lot more than he did.
If she maintained that the person on the tombstone was Soul Fighter, then it couldn’t be Zi Chuan.
On the other hand, Soul Fighter had told him that Zi Chuan had died and that the person here was Zi Chuan.
Then the person who talked to him at that time… must have been Zi Chuan himself?
The captain was full of doubts now. “So where has Zi Chuan gone?”
Qiao Lian kept silent.
The captain knew that she had her reasons for not wishing to say anything and did not pursue it. But he suddenly realized something. “I remember now!”
Qiao Lian paused and looked at him.
The captain continued, “It’s no wonder that the first year, when we had a meeting, he turned up and stood at the door but was reluctant to come in.”
Qiao Lian paused again and asked, “So what happened after that?”
“Actually, he never admitted that he was Zi Chuan.”
Back then, Soul Fighter had stood at the door and craned his neck to look in.
He came closer when he ascertained that these were people from his team.
The boy stood there with some reservation and asked, “Is Xiao Qiao here?”
The captain shook his head. “No.”
Then he looked at the boy and asked after a moment, “Are you Zi Chuan?”
At the time, there was an expression of disappointment on his face and he might not have heard what the captain asked. He only remarked, “Huh?”
Huh?
But the captain mistook it for a confirmation.
Hence, he grabbed the boy and led him into the venue, introducing him to everyone as Zi Chuan.
He remembered that Soul Fighter, at that time, had looked like he was trying to clarify something, but everyone was talking over him and interrupted him.
In the end, he kept silent.
He looked uneasy throughout the time he was there and didn’t stay long. He found some excuse and left.
After the captain told Qiao Lian all of thi, he said with a tinge of regret, “Looking back, I was being arbitrary and misled everyone into believing that the person on the tombstone is Zi Chuan!”
Qiao Lian sigh and asked, “Is there anything else you remember?”
The captain shook his head and said, “Soul Fighter and Zi Chuan were similar in that they were a little proud and aloof. I didn’t really have much contact with them. We fought together in a game or two. With Soul Fighter, I’ve chatted with him online but never met him in person.”
Qiao Lian nodded, looking sorely disappointed.
The captain stayed with her in silence for a while, standing before the grave.
She looked at the tombstone and couldn’t help but think, “Soul Fighter, what happened back then? What do I owe you?”
–
After honoring Soul Fighter’s memory, the two of them got ready to leave the cemetery.
Qiao Lian bade goodbye to the captain and got into the taxi. Just as the taxi was about to drive away, he suddenly took a step forward to stop the car and knocked on the window.
Qiao Lian wound down the glass window.
The man hesitated before saying, “Actually, there’s something else, I’m not sure if I should tell you…”
