Chapter 596 Moved overnight

"Miss Ye, are you alright?"

Wen Jue's voice brought her back to her senses, allowing her to look at Lu Zheyan, whom she had subdued, again. She discovered that the intense murderous aura that had been raging not long ago had quietly dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zheyan returned to his initial appearance, looking at everyone with confusion and bewilderment: "What... happened?"

Everyone: "???"

"You forgot?"

"What did I forget?"

“What you just did…” Li Weiming instinctively wanted to step forward and question him, but Ye Wanxi stopped him first.

“We haven’t forgotten anything. We were just about to discuss your identity and cause of death with you.”

After going around in circles, the topic suddenly returned to its starting point.

Although Li Weiming and the others did not understand why Ye Wanxi was stopping him from mentioning what had just happened, she was their pillar of support at this moment.

Despite their doubts, everyone wisely chose to remain silent and left the matter entirely to Ye Wanxi.

"My...cause of death?"

"Yes, you drowned, do you remember that?"

Lu Zheyan shook his head: "I only remember it being in the water."

Ye Wanxi's heart stirred slightly: "You mean, you've been in the water since you had memories?"

"Um."

"Do you remember what grudge you had against your enemy?"

Lu Zheyan shook his head again, but then he rubbed his head in pain: "Lying, villain, ingrate."

These three words are less of a clue and more of a pure complaint.

Li Weiming and the others were completely baffled and unable to extract the key points from the other party's words.

Ye Wanxi pondered for a moment, then continued to probe, "You mean your enemies are lying, that they are bad people, and that they have done something ungrateful and repaying kindness with enmity?"

Hearing Ye Wanxi say this, Lu Zheyan frowned again. After struggling for a long time, he could only give an infuriating answer.

"I forgot."

Everyone: "..." Can't you remember anything useful? You forget this and that, why don't you forget yourself too?

On second thought, this person really forgot about himself too, unbelievable!

Li Weiming and the others were so angry they were speechless. Ye Wanxi, however, was a little puzzled. What had happened between these three people that made them use the phrase "biting the hand that feeds them"?

Everyone's hearts were set on the truth, but unfortunately, Lu Zheyan was currently suffering from amnesia, and no matter how much they asked, they couldn't get any information out of him.

The pile of information that Li Weiming and his group gathered ultimately only resulted in accusations of "lying." The cause and effect between these individuals was clearly not so easily resolved, and they needed to continue their investigation.

After seeing Lu Zheyan off, Li Weiming and the others could no longer contain their grievances and began to complain in front of Ye Wanxi.

"What's wrong with this guy? He hasn't even been reincarnated yet, how come he's like he drank the Meng Po soup and doesn't remember anything? Could it be that this neighborhood is really like what Miss Ye said before, with the River of Oblivion and the sea facing it, so it's incompatible with ghosts?"

Li Weiming was so engrossed in complaining that he didn't realize the meaning behind his words. After a brief moment of stunned silence, Ye Wanxi's face showed a thoughtful expression.

The others chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, he knows nothing about everything. He's forgotten this and that. I just want to ask him what he actually remembers?"

“He remembers he has an enemy, but he has forgotten what the enemy looks like. He almost mistook the enemy for the wrong person and took revenge on the wrong person before. With his memory like this, what’s the use of us investigating? He doesn’t remember anything at all.”

“That’s right. Even if we threw those two girls’ photos in front of him now, he probably wouldn’t recognize them.”

Finally, a handsome young man with a buzz cut came to complain, and as soon as he finished speaking, everyone's complaints stopped abruptly.

All eyes suddenly fell on him, which startled him: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

“No particular reason, I just suddenly felt that your suggestion…makes a lot of sense.” Li Weiming stroked his chin and pondered, “Judging from his reaction just now, the two girls who fell into the water with him but were rescued must be his enemies. Since the reports aren’t enough to awaken his memory, wouldn’t photos of his enemies be more useful?”

The concern is that if the photos are actually shown to the person in front of them, it might drive them crazy.

Thinking of this, Li Weiming subconsciously glanced at Ye Wanxi and felt a little more at ease. With Miss Ye here, what was there to be afraid of!

Ye Wanxi caught his gaze, her lips twitched slightly, and she went straight to the point: "Has any of you gone to look for those two girls?"

"..."

The room fell into a sudden, deathly silence. Li Weiming and the others couldn't help but look embarrassed, as all they had been thinking about was finding the person.

Once they find the right direction and confirm who the enemy is, they've completed their mission. Why would they need to go through all this trouble to find the person?

In the suffocating silence that filled the room, a hand trembled as it was raised: "I...I went to look for it."

Everyone turned to look and realized that the speaker was the usually timid and unassuming bookworm.

The bookworm, wearing a pair of unfashionable black-rimmed glasses, looked timidly at Ye Wanxi, as if afraid of doing something wrong.

Seeing this, Ye Wanxi subconsciously lowered her voice: "You went to look for them? Did you find them?"

He shook his head regretfully and said, "I went to the address, but I couldn't find it. I asked people in the same neighborhood, and they said they moved away overnight after that incident, both families did. As for where they moved to..."

The bookworm scratched the back of his head awkwardly: "I haven't had time to check yet."

"They moved away? Or did they move away right after that incident? Do you know why they moved away?"

"I heard that after the incident, the parents of the person in question repeatedly came to harass them, forcing them to move out."

"Harass them?" Ye Wanxi thought of something, unfolded the newspaper and flipped through it. Sure enough, she saw a report in a relatively secluded corner.

The report stated that after the drowning incident, public outrage was aroused by the revelations of the two survivors. Some "righteous people" not only doxxed Lu Zheyan's identity information, but also found out his home address and his parents' workplaces.

Lu Zheyan's family is an ordinary family where both parents work. Because of this incident, a large number of people went to his parents' workplaces to cause trouble and report him, and went to his home to throw paint and write obscene and abusive words.

This not only caused Lu Zheyan's parents to lose their jobs, but also made them afraid to even leave their home.

The accompanying photo showed Lu Zheyan's house with paint splashed on it, covered in insulting words, and the exterior wall completely ruined.

Having already lost their jobs and been doxxed and insulted to the point of not daring to leave their homes, the elderly couple who had outlived their children had no energy left to harass those two girls and their families.

This reason is obviously invalid, but if it's not for this reason, why move overnight? Is there another reason, or is it because of a guilty conscience?
