"Zhizhi is my friend. I don't want her to have any regrets."
"I've heard a saying that human memories don't disappear. We just can't recall them for the time being. I don't want Zhizhi to suddenly remember everything one day and then regret it."
"So, Professor Chi, I'll help you retrieve Zhizhi's memories."
Chi Yu was a bit surprised to hear this.
Regardless of whether there was a second personality or not, it was beyond doubt that Qingmian disappeared because of Jiang Zhirou's appearance.
Chen Yixia had a good relationship with Qingmian, so he had preconceived that Chen Yixia might not like Jiang Zhirou very much.
Now hearing Chen Yixia's words, he suddenly realized that in this matter, it seemed that he was the only one who couldn't get over this hurdle from beginning to end.
Chi Yu looked at Chen Yixia seriously.
"Thank you."
Chen Yixia smiled. "I just don't want Zhizhi to regret it. But since she asked Mr. Si to hypnotize her, there must be something that made her so sad that she had to make such a decision."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chi Yu's expression changed. Before he could say anything, Chen Yixia's voice rang out again.
"Professor Chi, if you really made Zhizhi sad before, then make it up to her doubly in the future."
Chi Yu nodded seriously and solemnly.
"I will."
Then his face showed a bit of anxiety. "You just said that the hypnosis... was requested by Jiang Zhirou from Si Moshen?"
Hearing his question, Chen Yixia then realized that Si Moshen hadn't told him the truth about Jiang Zhirou forgetting Chi Yu.
Logically speaking, Si Moshen should be the one who most hoped that Jiang Zhirou would forget Chi Yu.
He had no reason to hide his thoughts in front of Chi Yu. But since he didn't say anything, maybe he had some other plans.
But the words had already been spoken, and it was too late for Chen Yixia to retract them. She could only nod reluctantly.
Upon getting the affirmative answer, a flash of panic and uneasiness crossed Chi Yu's eyes.
He originally thought that all these were Si Moshen's own ideas and never thought that it would be Jiang Zhirou's active request.
Chi Yu looked extremely ugly. Only now did he understand how much harm the quarrel between them the night before Jiang Zhirou left had caused her.
The feeling of regret instantly swept over his whole body, and his expression was a bit dazed. Chen Yixia called him several times but he didn't hear.
"Professor Chi!"
Finally, Chen Yixia pushed him, which pulled him back from his memories.
"Sorry, I didn't hear what you just said."
Seeing that Chi Yu was in a bad state, Chen Yixia finally didn't ask whether Qingmian's elder brother knew about Qingmian's current situation or not.
She shook her head. "It's okay."
Chen Yixia glanced at the time. "My class is about to start. I have to go first, Professor Chi."
Chi Yu nodded. After Chen Yixia left, he also left the villa and headed towards Yuelan.
...
On the other side, in the imperial capital.
Kai arrived in the imperial capital late at night.
Without any delay, he immediately took a car and headed towards Qingyuan.
Two hours later, the car slowly drove outside Qingyuan.
Kai sat in the car. His eyes fell on the fence not far away through the windshield in front of him.
Just as his subordinates had reported, the original villa here had been leveled.
Kai withdrew his gaze, pushed open the car door and got out. He walked a few steps quickly to the fence.
Relying on his memory of the basement at that time, he soon found the location of the basement entrance.
The next second, he lifted his foot and kicked hard at the fence. The fence fell down with a crash.
Kai made a gesture to the two SUVs behind him.
Immediately afterwards, several strong men got out of the cars, holding a lot of digging tools in their hands.
"Dig for me. If you don't find anything tonight, don't stop!" Kai ordered sternly.
"Yes, boss!"
The several men responded and immediately put on their headlamps and quickly started to act.
Looking at the place under his feet that had been buried by the soil and completely lost the shape of the basement at that time, Kai felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.
In his eyes, Shen Yu'an was a madman.
Back then, he could lock An Ya in the basement and torture her like that. It was entirely possible for him to bury someone alive in the basement.
He had been looking for An Ya for so long without any clues or traces. He should have thought of this earlier.
In this world, only the dead would leave no trace.
As the basement was gradually dug out, Kai's heartbeat became faster and faster. Due to nervousness, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. His eyes were fixed on the ground under his feet, afraid of missing anything.
Not long after, someone in the crowd suddenly stopped.
"Boss, we've found something!"
As soon as the voice fell, Kai immediately rushed over, knelt on the ground and kept digging in the soil with both hands.
Not long after, a grayish arm suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
There was still a bracelet on that lifeless arm.
That bracelet was the one he forced An Ya to wear at that time.
At that time, he gave her two choices, a ring or a bracelet. Without a doubt, she chose the bracelet.
Kai's hands trembled, and the veins on his neck bulged. "I'm going to kill him!!!!!!"
The subordinates beside him didn't dare to say a word when they saw their boss like this.
Just when everyone thought he was going to take the next step, Kai suddenly lowered his head and carefully dug the soil away.
As soon as someone wanted to step forward to help, he would drive them away.
An hour later, Kai dug out An Ya's body completely from the soil.
The body had been in the soil for a long time and had begun to rot.
Even these people who were used to living on the edge of a knife couldn't help frowning and taking a step back when they smelled that pungent smell.
"Take her back."
Kai suddenly said.
One of the subordinates immediately sensed the meaning behind the words and asked nervously, "Boss, aren't you leaving?"
"I still have something to do. You go first."
As he said this, Kai took a step and walked towards the car.
Needless to say, everyone knew what he was going to do.
Seeing this, the man immediately called out to Kai in a panic.
"Boss! The earl has instructed that you can't go anywhere on this trip."
As soon as the voice fell, Kai stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked at the man who had spoken behind him.
He didn't say a word, but his light blue eyes were full of killing intent, making people dare not get close.
The man also took a step back involuntarily, swallowed his saliva, but still said bravely.
"The earl said that no one can get hurt on this trip."
Hearing this, Kai twisted his neck and suddenly laughed. He dragged his steps towards the man who had spoken.
Before the man could say anything, Kai suddenly grabbed his throat.
"Since you listen to Darryl so much, then go to reincarnate earlier and strive to be his dog in your next life."
The man struggled violently, and a few words came out of his throat: "...The... child is in his... hands..."
