In the apartment.
Nian Xiaomu held onto the key and skillfully opened the door.
Since there was no news of Tan Bengbeng yet, the current apartment building seemed to have turned into Nian Xiaomu’s second home.
Even though Yu Yuehan had been pestering her to move back to the Yu Family villa, she still felt that Tan Bengbeng would return and look for her one day if she continued to reside here.
She had thought that she was missing Tan Bengbeng too much initially.
To the extent that she had let her imagination run wild.
However, this feeling turned out to be even more intense since she had returned from the Tan family’s ancestral residence.
Even though they had merely stepped into the courtyard of the Tan family’s ancestral residence, she could not forget the familiar feeling that swarmed up the moment she went into the place.
She had a strong feeling that she had been there before!
However, she could not recall when no matter how hard she tried. She could not remember when she visited the Tan family’s ancestral residence, or who she had visited it with…
Bits and pieces of blurred images flashed past her mind.
They were the words that Tan Bengbeng had once said…
“I will take good care of you since I was the one who found you and brought you to my place. Don’t worry.”
“Xiao Mumu, do you believe in the course of nature and appropriate retribution?”
“Remember to let me know if you have decided on the kind of life you want to lead one day.”
“Whatever happened in the past is not important anymore, the most important thing now is to grab hold of the happiness before you…”
As well as the words that Tan Bengbeng used to say jokingly, “I have left behind a dowry for you…”
When Nian Xiaomu pushed open the door and entered the apartment, Tan Bengbeng’s voice was the only element that rang in her ears.
It was too long ago and she had already forgotten some of her words.
However, she remembered that Tan Bengbeng had once hinted that she had left something behind for her.
Where could she have placed it?
Nian Xiaomu shut the door.
She switched on all the lights in the apartment.
Then, she started at the entrance and began her hunt.
The thorough search continued for half a day, but she ended up empty-handed.
Tan Bengbeng’s apartment was indeed one for a single person.
Apart from books and apparatus that were related to medical science, the rest of the items were her personal belongings.
She had a modest yet complete collection of belongings that were neatly arranged.
They were obvious at a glance.
The only item that could be labeled as “suspicious” was a box of jewelry.
However, those were not expensive items either.
They were merely the usual gold necklaces and earrings.
Any ordinary young lady would own a few pieces of similar jewelry, much less a famous doctor like Tan Bengbeng.
Nian Xiaomu did not manage to find the items and was instead so exhausted that she lay sprawled on the bed.
As she cus.h.i.+oned the back of her head with her hands, she turned around and studied the moderately sized apartment.
She was pondering if there were any locations that she had missed out.
She really could not think of anything after scanning the area. Instead, the back of her head hurt due to the strain that she had exerted on her brain and she ended up not being able to recall anything else.
She patted her face before reaching out for the kaleidoscope by the side of the bed.
She had initially wanted to relax her mind through some mini-games. However, she suddenly shot up from the bed after she narrowed her eyes and took a few glances into the kaleidoscope.
She had gotten up too quickly and remained dizzy for a few seconds.
After she returned to her senses, she placed the kaleidoscope before her eyes again immediately…
The kaleidoscope was a type of optical toy; it used a triangular prism as well as rotating angles to form various pictures in the circular cylinder.
However, this particular kaleidoscope of Tan Bengbeng’s was probably a little different from the rest of the kaleidoscopes out there in the market.
The pictures that were formed in the circular cylinder were numerical pictures that were used in hospitals to check for colorblindness!
