Chapter 333 - 333: I Was Also at That Performance

Astra, who noticed them chatting, immediately ran over with excitement.

"Eve!"

"Miss Yao, you came in person? This is Officer Qingyi, the one who has been assisting me with the investigation these past few days."

Seeing Astra arrive, Evelyn was pleasantly surprised, though she still wasn't very good at expressing such emotions.

"Thank you, Officer Qingyi, for bringing Eve back to me!"

"It's nothing. Miss Evelyn has barely rested while helping us with the investigation. She's worked very hard."

After Qingyi finished speaking, Astra turned toward her again.

"There's one thing I'd like to ask for your help with, Officer Qingyi."

"Please, go ahead."

"This master copy of Joran's Legacy... I hope you can deliver it to Lady de Winter."

Astra took out the album and handed it to Qingyi. Then, after taking a deep breath, she continued.

"I know I'll never be able to see things from her perspective or fully understand her pain. But just like Joran's voice has brought comfort to countless lonely souls, perhaps one day it can also soothe her despair."

Astra then recalled the performance, mentioning two things Joran had said that left a deep impression on her.

"'Although much has happened in the past, and we cannot predict the future, I want to make my own decision in the present.'"

"'I hope that everyone who has supported me will also remain true to their hearts and never betray the person they are right now.'"

She spoke with a hint of emotion before continuing.

"His final performance has finally been released. Now, every fan can listen to this legendary record. And this master copy belongs to her. Please tell her that Joran has always been by her side."

Though Qingyi was clearly surprised by Astra's words, she didn't say anything more.

"Very well. I hope she can understand your feelings and find the strength to move forward."

After putting the album away, Qingyi returned to her usual serious demeanor.

"We will notify you immediately if there are any new developments in the case. Well then, both of you, I have another mission to handle, so I'll take my leave."

Qingyi escorted them to the door before leaving. Astra also noticed that Evelyn's expression had relaxed considerably.

"They didn't make things difficult for you, Eve?"

Shortly after leaving Public Security, the two arrived near the commercial district. Astra asked with concern, and Evelyn smiled before shaking her head.

"Don't worry. However, Officer Qingyi and Officer Zhu Yuan of Public Security are truly formidable individuals. My past service to The Organization couldn't escape their discerning eyes."

"But fortunately, thanks to your persistence, Miss Yao, the company and Mr. Hobson have decided not to pursue my actions this time."

Evelyn said this with a hint of relief on her face.

"Therefore, my past is not related to this case. Furthermore, I do possess intelligence that they can use. For them, taking down The Organization in one decisive strike is far more important."

Hearing this, Astra let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest.

"It's good that you're safe and sound. Nothing else matters to me."

"Then let's head back now."

Evelyn said this with a smile.

"Eh? Are we going back already?"

Astra's reaction immediately made Evelyn understand what she was thinking. In the end, the two decided to visit Sixth Street, which wasn't far from their current location.

They also wanted to properly thank Wise and Belle, who had helped them so much during the incident.

"Mm-hmm! Speaking of which, those two girls who helped Wise were amazing too. They were beautiful, and their dancing was so elegant. Eve, can you ask them to come and be my backup dancers?"

Astra looked at Evelyn expectantly.

Seeing this, Evelyn helplessly placed a hand against her forehead.

"Yes, but before that, we need to ask for their consent. Also, you two can head back first. I'll make sure Miss Yao stays safe."

After giving her instructions to the black-suited bodyguards behind her, Evelyn was immediately pulled forward as Astra excitedly grabbed her hand and took off running.

"Okay! Huhu, to Sixth Street! To Sixth Street!"

The two then got into a car and drove toward Sixth Street, arriving at their destination shortly afterward.

"Miss Yao, since we're suddenly visiting Wise and Belle's home, we should buy some small gifts."

"Oh, right! I almost forgot. Good thing you reminded me."

Astra lightly clapped her hands in realization. The two then entered a nearby general store.

As they brushed past a white-haired girl eating a hamburger, seemingly having just come from somewhere, Evelyn couldn't help but take another look.

Her intuition told her that the girl she had just seen was not ordinary.

This Sixth Street truly was full of hidden talents, worthy of being Rain's residence.

"The limited edition red velvet cake looks delicious. Oh, and that black tea... I've had it before. It's very fragrant and mellow."

Astra was so absorbed in choosing gifts that, before long, she had gathered a huge pile, almost too much for her to carry.

"Mm, very generous. Belle will surely be happy."

"Speaking of gifts, I also have a gift I want to give you, Miss Yao."

"Eh? What is it?!"

Evelyn's words immediately caught Astra's curiosity, but for once, she decided to keep her guessing.

"If you're curious, then follow me."

"Haaah~ I'm so curious!"

Led by Evelyn, Astra followed her into the inconspicuous alley opposite the custom shop.

"Hmm...? I didn't notice it before, but this place feels strangely familiar."

"Familiar? Then that's right. Because this is where The Gramophone used to be."

Evelyn's explanation startled Astra, and excitement immediately appeared on her face.

"The Gramophone! That's right. That was the name of the shop! Joran's final performance was held in this little shop!"

However, the surprise was quickly followed by confusion.

Astra wondered how Evelyn knew about this, because even she herself had forgotten.

"Because I was also at that performance."

"What? You were there too?!"

Fate truly was a wondrous thing.

Should one say this was truly Sixth Street?

Unbeknownst to them, this place had attracted so many important figures. It truly was a place where countless talents emerged.

However, unlike Astra, Evelyn had only passed by the shop by coincidence. She had heard music coming from inside and stopped to listen for a while.

The two stood quietly on the empty ground, seemingly still able to hear Joran's voice from that year drifting through the wind, carrying a trace of warmth that had never faded.

Before the appointed time arrived, Astra still couldn't resist wandering around the street for a while.

Especially when she passed by the ramen shop.

"Ramen! Shop! No, no, no... carbs. Control carbs... but... ugh, it smells so good... Although gaining weight helps with breathing during singing, but... no! The owner is looking at me with such a kind gaze. Run! Escape the delicious clutches!" After a fierce internal struggle, Astra 'resolutely' left the ramen shop.

Though the reluctance on her face made it obvious just how difficult that decision had been.
