Chapter 396 - 396: Right and Wrong
Huang Min hugged her mother, who was shivering in her arms, and replied, “We are already on our way to the hotel where you are as you instructed. Those guys are with us too.”
Shen Xi nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you here.”
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xi sent a message to Zheng Huai. “Brother, when will you be back?”
At this moment, Zheng Huai was in Li Zhe’s room on the island.
“You mean there’s a good chance that Ah Yu will recover that memory?” Li Zhe asked worriedly.
Zheng Huai nodded with a somber expression. “Based on the results of the hypnosis I just performed on him, that’s indeed the case.”
Li Zhe immediately became anxious. “Can’t you hypnotize him again so that those memories will not surface again? I don’t want Ah Yu to remember those horrid experiences. You know, he attempted suicide several times back then. If it weren’t for your hypnosis, he probably wouldn’t be alive now.”
Li Zhe had seen the video of Meng Yu being bullied back then. How could a pure and innocent young man possibly be fine after being treated so cruelly and humiliated in front of so many people?
Moreover, Guan Miao died taking a bullet for him. His parents had also met with accidents. Losing three loved ones all at once had devastated Meng Yu and he had lost the will to live.
It was Li Zhe who had Zheng Huai forcibly remove the rape video and successfully reignited Meng Yu’s desire to live under the pretext of revenge.
Zheng Huai sighed. He knew everything about Guan Miao’s incident through Meng Yu’s hypnosis sessions.
Back then, Guan Miao had gone alone to save Meng Yu despite strong opposition from his family. The plan was thorough, but accidents were unpredictable.
Meng Yu’s mother had given birth to him with Old Master Guan for the sake of her family. She had to flee her home for fear of implicating Old Master Guan. Even though she was found later, she refused to identify Guan Yi, which eventually led to her and her husband’s demise.
Meng Yu was also kidnapped and abused because of his relations to the Guan family. Guan Miao sacrificed himself to save Meng Yu, but unexpectedly fell victim to an ambush.
The situation with the Guan family was a mess, and it was hard to tell who was right or wrong. Everyone involved had suffered.
After a long silence, Zheng Huai said with a sense of resignation, “I haven’t forgotten, but if I hypnotize the memories that have already been hypnotized, there are too many uncertainties. It’s not as simple as having the patient recount the memory it’s forced forgetting. I’m afraid it’ll turn out terribly if I make a mistake.”
Li Zhe buried his face in his hands in exhaustion. He leaned weakly on his knees.
Zheng Huai patted Li Zhe’s shoulder. “I’ll go back and study it. Don’t think too much. Ah Yu is lucky to have had a friend like you by his side for the past ten years.”
Zheng Huai picked up his phone and saw Shen Xi’s message. He quickly replied, “I’m going back tomorrow. What’s wrong? Do you suddenly miss your brother?”
Shen Xi, who was waiting for someone at the door, picked up the phone and rolled her eyes at Zheng Huai’s reply. “I have a patient who may have become mentally unstable due to misuse of drugs. I would like to trouble you to take a look.”
“No trouble at all. I’ll make sure to take a good look when I’m back tomorrow.
Trust me, it’s not a problem.”
Shen Xi shook her head and chuckled.
“What are you laughing at, Xi?” Guan Lei asked curiously. He came out of the room and saw Shen Xi smiling while looking at her phone.
Shen Xi replied, “It’s my cousin Zheng Huai. By the way, there’re fireworks this
Sunday. Let’s go watch it together.”
Guan Lei did not mind the abrupt change of topic. He asked happily, “Xi, are you asking me out?”
Shen Xi nodded innocently. “Yes, I am asking you out.”
Upon hearing Shen Xi’s affirmative answer, Guan Lei’s eyes lit up. He could not contain his excitement and nodded fervently. “Great, when and where shall meet? What will you wear that day?”
Guan Ba and Guan Jiu were stunned, wondering if the young man at the door was really their young master.
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei with his incessant questions and did not know how to interrupt. It appeared that Guan Lei might have misunderstood something. What should she do now? She felt she had to make it clear that it would not be just the two of them. There would be many others.
After seeing the two faces in the room who were clearly enjoying the spectacle, Shen Xi decided not to say anything to spare Guan Lei the embarrassment..
