Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

Chapter 240: We found Mia

After eloping from there somehow, I spent seven years in hiding, even if I wanted to tell the whole world the truth, I couldn't bear to do it, I didn't have so much power. In less than two days, my elopement, the news had spread that I killed my father and whatnot. The unexpected disappearance of Wang Bai led to the disbandment of my father's company, and people made the Wang Family an extinct family. 

I never thought that I would step out of my hiding until I met Wen Mei, and after that, you know, what happened. I met you and everyone else. Slowly and slowly, you were able to break the walls that I had created around my heart. The same goes for the others, the affection from the three families, Wens, my mother's family, and yours, had somehow melted my hardened heart." 

Elaina chuckled, as her fingers intertwined the fingers of the other hand. 

"I had always feared that if that Mr.C found me, he would not hesitate to harm the people around me, as a threat to me, so that he could complete his motives to destroy the remaining Wang Family, that was me because I was the one who knew the truth. At one point in time, I forgot that, and let myself be swayed and careless. And, the result was, Aunt Li's accident," Elaina said as she paused and then looked towards Li Wei. 

Li Wei didn't say anything. All the things had started to make sense to him. That is why when he started to investigate his mother's accident that happened, he reached a dead end. He knew that someone was behind it, but he couldn't find it. No matter how much he tried to find it, he reached a dead end, it was as if something was stopping from reaching it. 

"I was vaguely aware that the people of Mr. C had done it. So I asked Ethan to investigate it," Elaina said, to which Li Wei didn't raise suspicion.

"I guess you know that Wang and the Song Family had been friends. After my mother's death, my father sent me overseas, to Mr. Song. Over those ten years that I was with the Song family, they had become a real family to me. That's also when I met my gang.

Alexandre DeRose, Iris Johnson, and Reyansh Davis are all my friends that I met when I and Ethan were in school. From that time, they all had become really important to me. That is why I kept in contact with them when I came back here, and all those seven years I was in hiding. They helped me a lot."

"When Ethan confirmed that Mr. C was behind the accident of your mother, it was like a shock to me. And it was also the time when I got the position of a shareholder in the first hospital and all that stuff happened so fast, but I knew that I had to get away from you all, for the sake of you all. And that opportunity came to me, on the day when Wen Mei departed for her fashion designing course. 

When that accident happened, you all thought that I was dead, but I managed to escape the accident, that's why the police didn't manage to find my body." 

Li Wei cut Elaina off and then said, "What exactly happened that day?"

Elaina remained quiet for some time, before continuing.

"That day, I had dropped Wen Mei at the airport. When I took off from the airport, I noticed a black car following me. At first, I thought that it was just my illusion. But to my satisfaction, I decided to confirm it. So, I went through lanes, and surprisingly, the car had traced every path I went. From that, it confirmed that they were following. I needed to get to a safe spot without stopping in between.

And so, I continued to drive through the streets. I decided to message someone for help, most probably, Ethan or someone, but surprisingly, it went to you. But the moment I was typing messaging, on the road out of nowhere, a cat came and in a panic, I drove off the street. My car crashed into a tree, and half of it fell on the car.

I was stuck inside the car. From the rearview mirror, I saw the black car stopping at the side, and from there, three or four men came to my car. I think to check my condition. I gave them what they wanted to see, acting as if I was unconscious. 

I heard them talking about something, and vaguely got hints that they were going to burn the car or something. 

Fortunately, the door of the car opened, and it led directly into the forest. Somehow, when those men were busy with something, I sneaked out of the car, leaving my phone and the things that needed to identify that I was inside the car. 

It would have been a disaster if they were to notice that I was not inside the car. But surprisingly they didn't. Now, you can either consider that my luck or their foolishness, either way, I managed to get away from the site. I remember the burnt car in front of me. 

From there, I knew that I couldn't go back, or else it would have been put all your lives in danger. Escaping from the forest, I managed to contact Ethan, and soon I was in a plane taking me away from you all. Reaching to Mr. Song, I decided to remain on standby for at least three months. Over that time, I formed The Cinq with Ethan, Iris, Rey, and Alex. Masked snippers followed."

Elaina ended the narration with a deep breath. 

How simple was it to narrate all the happenings that happened over the past last twenty-three years of her life? But, no matter how much time passed by, the pain remained the same as if all this happened in the near past.

"What about your new identity?" Suddenly Li Wei said. 

"Elaina Song?"

Li Wei nodded.

"Mr. Song adopted me as his daughter. And thus, gave me this new identity. At first, I was against the idea, of both taking the name of the Songs or being adopted into the Song family, but he convinced me saying that I was just like his daughter. I was not given any time to protest but also needed some evidence to show that I am no longer Wang Yu Yan. Thus, I accepted the offer. Currently, I am the acting C.E.O. of the Song Industries, because Ethan is still young. I plan to hand over the company to him, once this all is sorted out," Elaina said, putting forward her plans. 

"Masked Snippers and Song Industries, don't tell me you still didn't manage to find Mr. C?" Li Wei asked her in slight disbelief.

Elaina chuckled, and then said, "I never planned to use the power of Songs for this purpose. I can't let one more family in danger, three are more than enough. And about the Masked Snippers, yes, we are unable to track down Mr. C. For six months, we are trying to do everything possible to find him, but we are unable to. I am unable to. You can consider this as a negative point," Elaina said with a slight shrug. 

"I don't dare to count your negative points, my love. You are perfect for me," Li Wei said, with a soft voice. 

Elaina could feel the feelings and the love of Li Wei in those five simple words. 

'You are perfect for me'.

"Did someone else knew about all this?" Li Wei asked with a raised eyebrow. 

Elaina bit her lip and then nodded. 

"Feng Jing."

Li Wei felt a pang of sharp pain in his heart. Probably, because he was upset by the fact that there were people who knew about Elaina, more than him. It pained him. Jealousy, you could say. 

"We bumped into each other in a meeting when I was in America. And, I had no option to tell him, somethings," Elaina said. 

"Somethings? How many?" Li Wei asked.

"I created a story regarding that there is an enemy of the Wang Family, and all. But rest assured, you know more than anyone," Elaina said. 

"Mr. C has some other motive, right? Certainly, he is not just following you because you knew the truth?" Li Wei asked with a raised eyebrow, yet keeping a straight face. 

"Indeed." 

Elaina mumbled. 

"The Wang Family's heirloom. That's all I can tell you, as of now," Elaina said, as she looked into the eyes of Li Wei. 

"Why-"

Before Li Wei could ask anything else, Elaina's phone ranged. It was Ethan.

Elaina took the call, and before he could say anything, Ethan said from the other side, "Elaina, come here. Right now...There is something you need to see. It looks like...we found Mia."
