After staring at him for a long while, he slowly moved closer to him and squatted in front. Not once did his gaze leave the boy’s little face.
His features were especially similar to the woman in the picture.
He was a little skeptical when he first saw the young lad!
Thinking that it may just be a coincidence, he did not have many doubts about it.
Not until he saw this huge poster hanging on the wall of the boy’s office that his suspicions were evoked again; the woman’s facial features and gentle eyes seemed to look exactly as the figure in his memories.
That woman and the little lad were probably related in some way!
That was why he had hung her picture in his office. What was even more suspicious was that his features were especially alike to the woman’s.
They were very much like mother and son.
Could… the woman be his…
Gong Jie’s shoulders and fingers shuddered uncontrollably in agitation. A hint of mixed emotions rose on his face when his hands reached out for the boy and caressed every inch of his face with his long slender fingers.
“Actually, I had vague suspicions of your identity during our first encounter!”
As he calmly spoke, he slowly lifted his eyes to meet the boy’s surprised gaze.
“What suspicions?”
“Don’t you think we look a little alike?” His brow arched as his lips parted.
Youyou’s gaze landed on the man’s face again.
It was not just alike.
Being especially perceptive in nature, a seed of suspicion sprouted in his heart when they first met.
It was just that, at that time, he was worried about his mother; hence, he did not think much about it.
From his mother, he heard that she had a brother who had gone missing without a trace after the car crash, and she had no idea whether he was dead or alive!
He could not help thinking along this line now; the man standing before him bore such resemblance to his mother.
However, his attitude was relatively conservative compared to that of the man.
“Yes, there’s a bit of resemblance. What do you want to say, though?”
As mommy’s identity was a sensitive issue, he did not get right to the point and tell him about the relationship between him and the woman in the poster.
Moreover, this man was the core figure of Hurricane Group, the number-one firearms empire in the world.
He was a pretty dangerous person!
What if he got it wrong?!
Under such uncertain circumstances, he would neither reveal his mother’s identity to him nor to anyone else.
It was a sort of protective measure for his mother!
The man frowned slightly as he took a deep look at the young lad. A trace of emotional struggle flickered in his eyes.
Although he was anxious to seek for an affirmation, he was afraid of being disappointed again.
It was utterly despairing to receive hope, only to be disappointed in the end!
Still, with a small wing of hope fluttering in his heart, he forced his words out. “I’m… looking for someone.”
The boy stiffened slightly.
“A woman.”
Rare tenderness appeared on his usually cold face when the man mentioned her. “Even though I don’t know if I can find her in this lifetime, I refuse to give up any hope regardless of whether she’s dead or alive. She’s very important to me!”
“A… woman?” the young lad asked tentatively.
His eyes flashed with pain before returning to its usual coldness.
