Chapter 294
In the afternoon, after finishing the tasks, Ste walked out of the office.
She said, “Sherry, I have to go out now and maybe I will not go back to the studioter. I will go home
directly tonight.”

Sherry nodded her head and asked, “Where are you going?”
“I asked someone to investigate the pocket watch before and he got some clues. I have an
appointment with a representative of the manufacturer.”
Sherry asked, “Is it reliable?”
Ste replied, “It’s likely reliable. I found a friend to investigate it.”
“All right. There’s no problem with the studio and I want to go with you. We can help each other if
there’s any problem. I will worry about you if you go alone.”
“Okay.”
They instructed the several employees of the studio and then left.
Sherry drove the car to a deserted factory area ording to the address and asked while driving, “Are
you sure that you’ll meet here? Why do I feel that there will be no one at this ce?”
Ste checked the message and replied, “It should be here… Turn right at the cross and I guess we
will arrive soon.”
Sherry made a U-turn and they saw a grizzled old man standing in front of a locked factory after driving
for several hundred meters.
Ste said, “It’s here.”
After getting out of the car, Ste asked, “Hello, are you Mr. Moore?”
The old man nodded his head with a smile, “You’re Ms. Radomil, right?”
“Yep.” Ste then introduced Sherry, “This is my friend. Shees here with me.”
After a small talk, the old man walked to the factory. Trembling, he produced a bunch of keys from his
pocket and finally opened the door after a long while.
Standing beside Ste, Sherry asked in a low voice, “Are you sure that he will provide you with some
useful clues? He even failed to put the key into the lock.”
Ste maintained her smile and elbowed her. She kept down her voice, “Mind your words.”
“Look at the bunch of keys at his hand. If he tries one by one, we will have to wait until tomorrow."
When Sherry just finished the words, the old man said, “It’s opened. Follow me.”
Ste replied, “Okay.” Then she followed behind him.
As the two iron doors were pushed open, they were greeted with staleness and dusts.
The old man walked to a wall and groped to turn on the lights of the factory. He said, “This ce has
not been visited for a long time. Youe at the right time because this factory area will be demolished
two weekster and the documents would be destructed too. It will be difficult for you to check the
documents if you onlye at that time.”
Ste looked around the huge warehouse and the documents on the rows of shelves and asked, “Is all
the information here?”
“Yep, you may not believe it. Although this watch factory went bankruptcy, it was a top watch
manufacturer twenty years ago and had many stores and customers all over the country.” The old man
heaved a sigh, “I feel reluctant to discard it. Therefore, even though the factory went bankruptcyter, I
still kept the information of my customers.”
Sherry widened her eyes in shock, “Oh, there’re many documents here. How long will we find out the
clue if we read through the documents one by one? I guess we will only find it next year.”
The old man replied, “It won’t take too long. I remember that the pocket watch you showed me had top-
ss craft at that time. It was a high-end product and few people could afford it at that time. Even
though it was avable in every store, the order would be submitted to the headquarters in the end.
Therefore, you will find out the purchase information of that pocket watch if you read through the data
bank of the headquarters.”
When speaking, the old man led them to the inside most shelves.
“Here it is.”
Ste looked towards the direction and thought that it would be a huge task.
The old man handed the bunch of keys to Ste and said, “If you fail to find out any clue today, you can
come here at any time. Just remember to lock the door when you leave.”
“Thank you.” Ste took the keys from the old man, “I will return the keys to you when I find out the
wanted information.”
The old man chuckled, “No need. Just lock the door when you leave. This ce will be demolished and
they will send people to clean these documents.”
Ste gently nodded her head, “Sorry to bother you.”
The old man waved his head, “I didn’t expect that I can see this pocket watch twenty yearster. It’s the
destiny.”
Ste sent the old man to the door. When she came back to the warehouse, she found that Sherry had
begun to read through the documents.
Although the old man told them that the purchase information of this type of pocket watch would be
submitted to the headquarters, apparently it was not the only type of pocket watch.
Except for the purchase information, there were also documents about the employees of the
manufacturing factory, various kinds of statements and some other things.
Ste and Sherry leafed through the documents together and it gradually got dark.
Right at this moment, a string of vibration broke the silence.
Pinching her nose, Ste took out her phone from her pocket. When seeing that it was a call from
rence, Ste put down the document and received the call.
rence asked, “Where did you go?”
“I’m…” Ste didn’t know how to describe this ce and said, “I’m outside now. I’m here for some
information.”
“When will you finish? I will go to pick you.”
Ste took a nce at the dark sky and thought that they should go back today ande here
tomorrow.
She replied, “It’s done. Sherry is together with me. I will go back now.”
rence said, “Send me an address.”
Ste sent an address to him after ending the call as she was afraid that rence would seek trouble
for her with this as an excuse.
After sending the message, she put the phone back to her pocket and said, “Sherry, let’s go. We can
come tomorrow…”
“Oh my god. Ste!” Sherry ran towards her from the other side of the shelf and said excitedly, “Do you
remember the type of that pocket watch? I found the purchase records of its VIP customers just now.
Have a look. Is this the same type?”
Ste hurriedly took out her phone and found the photo of the pocket watch. Shepared the model
number on the watch with the document and found that the document at Sherry’s hand was about the
pocket watch in the photo.
Sherry said, “It is!”
They checked the customer’s information one by one, trying to find some useful clues from the
document.
In the end, they all paused when they saw a name.
How could it be him?
Sherry finally came back to her sense after a long while, “Ste, are you sure that the one who bought
the pocket watch is your biological father?”
Ste was stunned, “I don’t know either. There’s only a photo in the pocket watch.”
“It’s amazing. I shall be a coincidence. Let’s check other information.”
They then read the column of the purchase information and saw a name – Charles Steward.
This information was thrilling in every aspect.
