"Commander Chi doesn't seem to have abided by our agreement back then."
The man called Mr. Chen slowly took off his hat. A smile played on his face, but there was not a trace of warmth in his eyes.
Hearing this, Jiang Shu, who was sitting beside Chi Weiguo, involuntarily tensed up.
Even someone of Chi Weiguo's status didn't look any better than Jiang Shu at this moment.
He frowned slightly, his voice deep and powerful. "It seems that the hypnosis on my son wasn't successful. Naturally, the agreement doesn't hold."
After Chi Yu was rescued from the village back then, he was in a bad mood. Chi Weiguo and Jiang Shu had sought the help of many psychologists, but all to no avail. In desperation, they met this Mr. Chen and intended to use hypnosis to make Chi Yu forget that memory.
They had always thought that Chi Yu had completely forgotten that memory. But as time went by, they suddenly realized that Chi Yu had already recalled what had happened back then, perhaps even earlier than they had expected.
It was Mr. Chen who had approached Chi Weiguo and Jiang Shu back then. The only condition he had proposed at that time was that Chi Yu should date Jiang Zhirou after he came of age.
This requirement seemed too ordinary. Who their son dated was entirely his own choice, so Chi Weiguo and Jiang Shu didn't take it seriously.
It was only later that they understood that Chi Yu was just a part of his plan to reshape Jiang Zhirou.
The reason he had chosen Chi Yu was because he had taken a fancy to the Chi family's status in the imperial capital.
With such absolute power and background, no one would dare to lay a hand on Chi Yu, which allowed his plan to proceed perfectly.
Even the hypnosis back then had been deliberately flawed, allowing Chi Yu to recall the past.
It could be said that Chi Yu was the perfect piece in his plan.
After Chi Weiguo and Jiang Shu learned about Jiang Zhirou's background, they had strictly forbidden the two from having any further contact.
However, breaking up a young couple in love was much more difficult than they had anticipated.
Chi Weiguo didn't want his son to be further involved in this never - ending plan.
So he had brought Jiang Shu and come to see Mr. Chen again.
The man in the black robe wasn't angry when he heard Chi Weiguo's words. He just let out a soft chuckle and pushed the teacup filled with tea in front of them.
"Commander Chi has such a rigorous logic."
He spread out his hands, making a helpless gesture. "I was just joking. Commander Chi doesn't need to be so tense."
"Moreover, Young Master Chi and our Zhirou have always had a good relationship. I heard that the young couple had a quarrel recently, and Young Master Chi even chased her abroad."
"These young people are just full of energy. If you and your wife had a fight, could you chase her abroad? This old body couldn't take such a toll."
The man used Chi Weiguo and Jiang Shu as an example, his words filled with veiled threats.
Chi Weiguo could no longer control his emotions. He picked up the teacup in front of him and slammed it to the ground.
With a loud "bang", it made a huge noise.
He stood up angrily, pointing at the man's nose and scolding. "Chen Jingsheng, don't push me too far! If anything happens to my son, I'll never forgive you even if I die!"
"I don't know what deep hatred you have with your own daughter, but my son will never be your accomplice!"
"Commander Chi, calm down." Chen Jingsheng waved his hand at Chi Weiguo, signaling him not to be so excited. "Zhirou doesn't remember Young Master Chi anymore. How Young Master Chi chooses is his own business. I think as parents, we shouldn't interfere too much in our children's feelings. What do you think?"
Every word of Chen Jingsheng's was a reminder to Chi Weiguo that he couldn't interfere in Chi Yu's feelings and couldn't stop the two from being together.
Jiang Shu beside him knew that the man in front of them would stop at nothing to achieve his goal. He would never help Chi Yu, nor would he let Jiang Zhirou have a normal life.
After all, a man who could send his own daughter to such a black factory had no heart.
Jiang Shu pulled on Chi Weiguo's arm. "Let's just leave it at that, Weiguo."
Chi Weiguo wanted to say something else, but when he met Jiang Shu's gaze, he finally swallowed his words.
Jiang Shu also stood up from the chair. "Mr. Chen, we've troubled you today. Please forgive us."
Saying that, Jiang Shu was about to pull Chi Weiguo away.
Just as they turned around, a group of people swarmed around them and surrounded them.
Before Chi Weiguo could react, the next second, he lost consciousness.
Just as Chi Yu was hesitating whether to call the police, Jiang Shu's call came in.
"Mom, are you guys okay?"
Chi Yu immediately asked anxiously.
Jiang Shu on the other end of the phone could also hear the tension and anxiety in Chi Yu's voice. She looked at Chi Weiguo beside her in confusion and laughed into the phone. "We're fine. When you called me just now, your dad and I were just playing a game. They didn't allow us to bring our phones up."
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Hearing Jiang Shu's words, Chi Yu let out a long sigh of relief.
He had thought...
"It's okay, Mom. I was just a bit worried because you guys didn't answer my calls. It's nothing serious."
Jiang Shu on the other end of the phone didn't know about Kai. Hearing the concern in Chi Yu's words, a warm current welled up in her heart.
"Your dad and I are fine. We'll be back in the country tomorrow."
Hearing that they were coming back, the worried look on Chi Yu's face finally faded.
They chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.
...
"Master, the people have been safely delivered."
Chen Jingsheng nodded slightly when he heard the voice.
Seeing this, the man hesitated for a moment and then continued.
"Master, why did you erase their memories? Wouldn't this hinder your plan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jingsheng let out a soft chuckle. "They're just pawns. They won't be able to affect my plan."
Hearing this, the man respectfully lowered his head.
"Master is wise." Then, a look of difficulty appeared on his face again.
"However, the test subject is now well - protected by the Si family. Our people can't get close to her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jingsheng picked up the teacup in front of him and took a shallow sip. He said meaningfully, "We don't need to do anything for now. We just need to wait quietly."
Since Si Moshen had accidentally erased Jiang Zhirou's memory of Chi Yu, he didn't need to do anything now. He just needed to quietly watch the two of them.
He wanted to see if Jiang Zhirou would be like Jiang Yan back then, just a puppet who obediently listened to her elders.
...
Yuelan Manor.
Jiang Zhirou was standing on the balcony of the second - floor room.
She had noticed Chi Yu downstairs since just now.
Looking extremely anxious, he immediately lost that tense look on his face after answering a phone call.
