Chapter 814
Seeing Dabao express himself excitedly, Erbao felt a little anxious about not having the chance to interrupt.
“Dabao, what are allusions?” Erbao finally had a chance to speak.
“Allusions are the stories or poetries that have appeared in ancient manuscripts,” Dabao explained patiently.
Erbao nodded fervently, not actually understanding at all.
She merely wanted to feel a sense of participation by getting a word in.
Meanwhile, Dabao continued to explain, “I think Frosty Warrior is from the poem Frozen River. Jing Ke was sent to
assassinate King Zheng of Qin, but the attempt failed, and Prince Dan sent him away by the frozen river. Gao Jianli
played an instrument while Jing Ke sang along, 'The wind is blowing, the river is freezing, the warrior is leaving and
never coming home!’”
“Who is Jing Ke, and who is King Zheng of Qin? Were they enemies? Why did Jing Ke try to assassinate him?” Erbao
asked again.
This was a long story, so Dabao shook his head and said, “I'm not going to go into the details on this as it involves a
very long story. I'll talk about it next time. As for now, let's focus on the origin of this name first.”
Ning Ran actually knew that this name was probably from that poem. After all, it was widely known.
However, Ning Ran still felt very proud to hear about it from her young son.
“So this shouldn't be the name of a Jetroinian but a person from China?” Ning Ran asked Dabao.
Dabao nodded and answered, “Yes. I suppose so. Frosty Warrior isn't a person's name. It's a random name made
up by someone. It might even be an online username.”
Ning Ran agreed with him. The Internet already existed at her mom's age. Even if there were no Internet, cultured
people back then would still use pseudonyms for publishing articles or other things.
Frosty Warrior might just be a pseudonym.
Then that would be a problem. It would be hard to track down this person unless the person was a famous writer.
However, the overall success rate of finding this person became higher with this clue in hand.
“Mommy, we have to find this person, right?” Dabao asked again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNing Ran thought Dabao was too smart for his age before nodding. “Yes.”
“I think Daddy can help you find this person,” said Dabao.
“Are you that confident in Daddy?” Ning Ran asked.
“Of course. Daddy can achieve what many people can't. I'll look up online first to see if there are any more clues on
this,” said Dabao.
Hence, Ning Ran handed the laptop to Dabao and let him handle it.
After looking for more information for quite some time, Dabao told her there were no clues about the name online.
Ning Ran was a little bit upset, but she was not worried.
Now that she had her mother's belonging and knew roughly that it was a clue about her biological father, she was
no longer worried.
Ning Ran's biological father had been absent for many years, and Ning Ran was already used to it. It did not matter
to her anymore if she could find her biological father.
Ning Ran's biological father had been absent for many years, and Ning Ran was already used to it. It did not matter
to her anymore if she could find her biological father.
In other words, her biological father did not even bother searching for her, so why should she look everywhere for
him?
When Nan Chen came home from work, Ning Ran told him about this matter.
Nan Chen offered a different opinion and said, “I think your mom wants you to find your biological father and also
wants both of you to reunite.”
Ning Ran disagreed with Nan Chen this time. “Then why didn't my mom tell me that Ning Ziqiang was not my
biological father in all those years?”
“Didn't you say that Mdm. Zhang was religious and had taken a vow that couldn't be broken?” said Nan Chen.
“Then why did my mom take such a vow? Who forced her?” Ning Ran asked.
Nan Chen could not give her an answer. He wanted to know that too.
“All I can say is that someone did not wish for the reunion of you and your biological father, and that's why Mdm.
Zhang was forced to take the vow. Although Mdm. Zhang couldn't personally tell you all these, she left some clues
behind. If you were to find your biological father through these clues yourself, Mdm. Zhang wouldn't be deemed
breaking the vow,” Nan Chen analyzed and said.
Ning Ran felt that Nan Chen's words made sense, and she nodded in agreement.
“My mom couldn't tell me the truth, but why didn't that man come to me in all these years?” Ning Ran felt
disappointed whenever she thought of that.
“I guess that man doesn't even know of your existence. Mdm. Zhang was married to Ning Ziqiang, and you have
the same last name as him. Everyone thinks you're Ning Ziqiang's daughter. If your biological father knew your
mom was living her best life, and if he was a responsible man, the best thing for him to do would be to stay away
from her, wouldn't it?” Nan Chen said gently.
Ning Ran did not respond. It was not that she disagreed with him, but she felt those were just comforting words.
“In that case, I'd better not find him. I'll pretend that I don't have a father.” Ning Ran was a little miffed.
“But your mom left these clues, hoping both of you could reunite. Those photos were arranged in the sequence of
your stages of growth. I don't think those were for you to see. I think those were for your biological father to see.
“He was absent from your growth and would be regretful about it. Mdm. Zhang must have wanted to help him
make up for his regret.
“This could only mean one thing. “Mdm. Zhang didn't blame your biological father, which also means that he didn't
do anything to hurt her. They parted because of some other reasons.
“If you can find him, those photos and the painting are the things that can tell him that you're his daughter. This
must be Mdm. Zhang's wish.
“So I'll continue to utilize all my resources to help you find your biological father regardless of what kind of person
he is.
“After he is found, it's up to you to decide whether to reunite with him. But we must find him first,” said Nan Chen.
Ning Ran was finally convinced by Nan Chen.
However, Nan Chen was unsure if Ning Ran's biological father could be found or when he could be found.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough they had the name Frosty Warrior as a clue, it would be hard to find him if this name was actually
randomly made up when creating the painting.
Nonetheless, Nan Chen thought the possibility of it being a random name was low. Since Ning Ran's mom left this
behind, it must be an important clue for finding that man.
At midnight, Ning Ran felt the phone by her bedside table vibrating, but she was too sleepy to bother.
The next day in the morning, she woke up to more than ten missed calls from unknown numbers.
The odd thing was that none of the numbers were repeated.
Why were there so many strangers looking for me in the middle of the night? Could it be that my personal
information leaked online?
Nan Chen woke up as early as usual and was already back from the gym.
“I saw that you had missed calls on your phone. I didn't look since that would be invading your privacy, but I still
want to know who called you at such an hour,” Nan Chen said with a hint of jealousy.
“All of them were from unknown numbers, and none were repeated. Did someone leak my personal information
online that led to so many targeted calls?” Ning Ran said as she passed her phone to Nan Chen.
Nan Chen chose a number and called back, but the call did not go through.
He chose another number, and it was still the same result.
“It was Ruan Anxi who called. I don't know where he got these temporary numbers from. One can only make calls
with these numbers but can't receive them and also they can't be tracked,” Nan Chen explained.
“What? Him again? Why was he looking for me?” said Ning Ran.
Nan Chen's gaze filled with even more jealousy. “Yeah, why was he looking for you in the middle of the night?”
“As you know, he's crazy. In fact, it'd be unusual if he were to call me during the day. But I think he might be looking
for me because of Luo Fei's matter,” Ning Ran said.
Nan Chen was unperturbed. “What does Luo Fei's matter have to do with you? Did he find out that you helped Luo
Fei and hid her? Is he that smart?”
Ning Ran did not dare to compliment another man in front of Sir Chen and shook her head. “He's not that smart,
not as smart as you.”
