Parental Qualification Certificate Chapter 48

One night, Milo made mooncakes, and Su Yutan came to know that the Mid-Autumn Festival had arrived.
She picked up a piece of moon cake and tasted it. It was made of red bean paste and egg yolk. The red bean paste was sweet but not greasy, the salted egg yolk was just right and the taste was very good.
She ate delicious mooncakes, but there was a different kind of desolation in her heart.
So when she saw Qiao Wangchuan appearing in the cave, she was particularly surprised.
He was wearing a turtleneck shirt and a casual suit, but the material of the clothes looked fine quality.
He gave a food container, which kept food fresh to Su Yutan, with a kind smile on his face.
“I came to give you the cake, and talk to you.”
Su Yutan was speechless for a while before saying, “Then… thank you! Please sit down!”
She did not expect that Qiao Wangchuan would visit her on such a day instead of his relatives.
She asked Qiao Wangchuan to sit down on the sofa, and asked Milo to slice the moon cake brought by Qiao Wangchuan into two and bring up a fruit plate.
“What do you want to drink?” She asked Qiao Wangchuan. “There is black tea, black coffee, soda, beer, and plain water.”
“Black tea! Thank you,” he asked her in a warm tone, “It's not easy to live here alone, right?”
“It's okay. I'm busy painting every day and I don't have time to think about anything else.”
Only by immersing her whole mind in the painting, could she avoid thinking deeply about her situation and about the pervert hidden in the dark or the traffickers.
Fortunately, after this period of hard work, her feeling of painting has returned and it's level has improved significantly.
“Can I see your painting?” Qiao Wangchuan looked at the easel not far from the sofa.
Su Yutan hesitated in her heart, but agreed, “OK.”
Qiao Wangchuan walked to the easel and looked at the painting that looked like it was just finished.
“What's the name of this painting?”
“It's called 'last rites light'.”
Qiao Wangchuan raised a brow, “I don't understand painting. However, it gives me a feeling of horror and tranquility. It's quite… strange.”
Su Yutan asked him, “Do you like this feeling?”
On the canvas, was a dark and secret room.
A chain of blood and rust stained a twisted figure in an airtight manner.
The entangled people were covered by heavy chains.
There was only one eye that was difficult to distinguish between a man and a woman, exposed from the gap of the iron chain, and illuminated by a small light shining from the top of the secret room.
The eyes, illuminated by a low light, had dilated pupils and no life.
But this lifeless eye, with the brightest tones, the purest colors, and the most delicate strokes in the whole painting, was the most vivid part of the whole painting.
Qiao Wangchuan shook his head, “Frankly… I don't like it. It gives me the creeps.”
Su Yutan smiled, “This is a surrealistic painting that emphasizes the excavation and display of the subconscious. If you don't like it, it means that your subconscious world does not resonate with what is shown in this painting."
Qiao Wangchuan looked at her, then at the painting again, and he seemed to understand, “Why did you… paint such a picture?”
Su Yutan didn't want to analyze him. She simply answered, “Just that I like it. I prefer to draw this kind of contradictory feeling… It is horrible and peaceful, life is born in death, and hope is born in destruction…”
Qiao Wangchuan was silent for a moment, and wisely shifted the topic, “Since you like it and your main talent is painting again, why didn't you become an artist?”
“I only like painting this style. But painting this is not good for controlling my condition, so my adoptive mother did not approve of this path. This is the first reason.”
“What about the second reason?” Qiao Wangchuan continued to ask.
“The second reason is that these paintings will reflect some of my subconscious minds. This is a very personal thing, and I don't want to share it with others, let alone use it to make money.”
“Then I saw your painting tonight. Won't it make you feel uncomfortable?” Qiao Wangchuan said apologetically.
Su Yutan shook her head, “If I didn't want to show you, I wouldn't have shown you in the first place.”
That night, Qiao Wangchuan didn't leave until early in the morning.
The safe house was restored to peace, and Su Yutan continued to live a secluded life, drawing and painting constantly.
Almost two months later, Qiao Wangchuan and Yue Yueming came together to bring her good news and bad news.
The good news was that the trafficker who took the “order” sneaked into the psychiatric treatment center of Fusheng Hospital, kidnapped the female agent who was posing as her, and was caught by the police.
The bad news was that the pervert that “ordered” her did not appear when the trafficker “delivered” the agent as he could not be contacted. The trafficker was so angry that he wanted to torture the female agent, and the police had to take action in advance.
Su Yutan asked coldly, “In other words, the pervert is still on loose and still has eyes on me in the dark ?!”
Yue Yueming nodded a little in embarrassment, “I'm afraid… yes.”
Su Yutan asked with a loss, “Maybe the pervert knew that it was a trap, so he didn't appear?”
Yue Yueming nodded, “It's very possible, but we are not sure.”
This bad news could make Su Yutan unable to return to her normal life for a long time.
Although Yue Yueming said that she could live in this safe house until the people behind the scene were arrested, Su Yutan felt that it didn't made any sense to live here any longer. If it was true that the police leaked the news, causing the pervert to not fall into the trap during “delivery”, then this place will sooner or later be exposed.
Besides, she had been isolated from the world for three months and could no longer hide.
Qiao Wangchuan didn't agree with her going back to her home, “You should live here for a while, I'll find a way to solve this.”
“How would you solve it?” Su Yutan and Yue Yueming both turned to look at him.
“I will look for some female mercenary to pretend to be you and try to trap him again,” Qiao Wangchuan said.
“Do you know exactly how that pervert spied on me, and why didn't he appear?”
Qiao Wangchuan shook his head, and the look on his face was extremely confused. “This is a problem I can't understand. I checked your smart device, your home, and your community several times in detail, and I didn't find anyone spying. “
Su Yutan thought for a while, then said, “Since this is the case, stop looking for anyone, let's set myself as the bait!”
Yue Yueming stared at her in disbelief, “Are you crazy? Do you think you are a trained female agent?”
Qiao Wangchuan's eyes were full of disapproval.
Su Yutan sighed, “What else can we do? If even a female agent couldn't catch the big fish, could the female mercenary do that?”
