“Wait.”

However, it seemed like this time, Ding Fei really did have something with her.

She carefully opened her bag and took out an envelope to pass it to Ning Ran.

Ning Ran reached out for it, but Ding Fei soon retracted her hand.

“You have to promise to help me.”

“I told you I'll only consider accepting your request after I find the USB with your clue.”

“But you haven't even asked me what my request is, so how are you going to help me?”

“Frankly, I don't want to help you at all. It doesn't matter what you say because I won't do it. So, if you want me to help you, you have to wait until your clue proves to be useful before I start considering your request.”

Ning Ran was insistent, and there was nothing Ding Fei could say to change her mind. Hence, Ding Fei had no choice but to hand the envelope to Ning Ran.

When Ning Ran opened it, she realized a stack of photos was in it.

The photos must have been taken by a cell phone a few years ago, for the quality of the photos was not great, but she could still make out what was in the photos.

In the photos was a middle-aged woman dressed averagely. She was not dressed to the nines, but she was not disheveled either.

Ning Ran stared at her for a while, feeling a sense of familiarity. She presumed that she had seen the middle-aged woman somewhere before.

Upon combing through her memories, Ning Ran realized the woman must be one of her mother's friends. She somewhat recalled having a meal with the woman back when her mother brought her out to play.

Still, Ning Ran could not remember what the woman's name was. After all, Ning Ran had been but a young child at that time, and the woman didn't meet up often with her mother. Clearly, her mother and that woman weren't very close.

“Do you know who she is?” Ding Fei asked.

“I don't, but do you?”

“I don't either. But she came to your mother's ward several times when your mother was hospitalized, and they always talked for a long time. I once eavesdropped on them from outside, and I think I heard your mother passing something to her. Your mother asked her to keep it safe. Later on, my mother and I tried to look for her, but our efforts were in vain. I'm guessing that your mother probably gave her that USB,” Ding Fei uttered.
