Lin Yan understood what Lu Jinghuai meant, and her thoughts were similar to Lin Yan's at the beginning. It was impossible for a fourteen-year-old child to have no memory.
But sometimes things are just so outrageous that Lin Yan rolled her eyes.
"I know. That's why I initially suspected Xu Shan wasn't Lu Yingqian. But then she told me that she had a high fever when she was a child and couldn't remember anything before that."
[It's a bit melodramatic, but considering that this is a novel about a domineering CEO, it makes sense. Fake marriage, white moonlight, amnesia...]
Lu Jinghuai paused and frowned as if he was thinking about something.
Lin Yan didn't hesitate and asked directly, "Lu Yingqian has lost her memory. What are you going to do next?"
"Recognize her in advance and then take her back? This is quite risky. She has always believed that she is the daughter of the Xu family and probably has feelings for the Xu family. If she knew that she was abducted, she might not be able to accept it."
"Or, why don't you take her out first and then explain her identity? But she's an adult after all. If you just take her away without saying anything, it's like kidnapping. I'm sure you'll get into some trouble."
After Lin Yan finished explaining both solutions, she shut up and looked at Lu Jinghuai, waiting for his choice.
Lu Jinghuai also fell silent. He didn't know what to choose for a moment. He had never considered that Lu Yingqian might lose her memory.
It was rare to see a hint of confusion in Lu Jinghuai's eyes.
Lin Yan didn't want to say anything to influence Lu Jinghuai's judgment, so she silently took out her cell phone and continued playing Candy Crush.
[It's really difficult to deal with. Lu Yingqian has been living a peaceful life in the Xu family and is getting married next month. Now she's saying she's not Xu's child. Tsk.]
Lu Jinghuai's eyelashes trembled, but he said nothing.
The room was silent for an unknown amount of time before Lu Jinghuai spoke again, his voice a little hoarse.
"If possible, I hope you can help me tell Qianqian her identity..."
Lu Jinghuai paused, as if thinking, and then felt that this was inappropriate. He let out a long breath, and his face showed a little more helplessness.
When he looked at Lin Yan again, he was more cautious: "If possible, I hope you can help me ask her out. I will tell her her identity in person."
"She is a child of the Lu family."
Lin Yan put down her phone, blinked, and said without hesitation: "Okay."
Although Lin Yan knew that she was just a tool, she also knew how bad the situation in Xiaoliang Village was.
This is simply a trafficking base, including Lu Yingqian, Xu Manyu, and perhaps many other women she doesn't know.
Lin Yan is indeed not a person who loves a lot. At the beginning, she helped Lu Jinghuai find Lu Yingqian for the sake of money and because she could not refuse Lu Jinghuai.
Now she really hopes that Lu Jinghuai can help the abducted women in Xiaoliang Village while bringing Lu Yingqian back.
Coming back to her senses, Lin Yan looked at Lu Jinghuai again: "If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Guodong and his men will be in action tomorrow. Can your people arrive tomorrow?"
If Lin Yan guessed correctly, Zhang Guodong kept their group because she and Song Jingya were among them.
The two women in the team were also passively used as bait, so it would be a lie to say they were not worried.
Lu Jinghuai also knew Lin Yan's concerns and nodded: "It's arranged. The people I arranged have already arrived in City S and have called the police. They will come tomorrow."
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "I only have one life, and I cherish it very much. You must ensure my safety."
Lu Jinghuai looked at Lin Yan deeply and said "hmm".
The room fell silent again. Lin Yan felt inexplicably awkward being alone with Lu Jinghuai.
To be precise, she and Lu Jinghuai spent too much time alone on this business trip. Although they shared a room in H City because of Uncle Chen, Lu Jinghuai only returned to the room before going to bed, and the time they spent alone together was less than an hour.
Lin Yan was considering whether to go to the living room to sit for a while or play with her phone.
Lu Jinghuai suddenly spoke up: "Do you think Qianqian will blame me for disrupting her peaceful life?"
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Lu Jinghuai, and blinked slowly. She didn't expect Lu Jinghuai to be so concerned about this issue.
He scratched his head and hesitated before speaking: "Why do you think so?"
Lin Yan coughed lightly a few times and sat up straight. "She was originally abducted by the Xu family, and in the end she had to marry the Xu family's nephew. It's outrageous that she can't even make her own decision about her marriage."
"Furthermore, the Xu family values boys over girls and has backward thinking. The Xu couple knew she wasn't their child, and while they seemed to treat her well, they actually restricted her freedom, preventing her from going out to study and see the wider world."
"If nothing unexpected happens, she will have to stay in the mountains for the rest of her life, like a frog in a well."
Lin Yan's words became increasingly serious, her brows furrowed. "She shouldn't have been like this. She's the daughter of the Lu family. She deserves a better future. She loves studying. She could have studied abroad like Song Jingya and seen the world."
After Lin Yan finished speaking, she let out a long breath, and Lu Jinghuai looked at her deeply for a long time and nodded.
"I understand. In fact, I will take her away no matter what."
Lu Jinghuai's eyes were also very deep: "She is the sister I have been looking for for nine years."
Nine years may seem like just a number to others, but to Lu Jinghuai it was a long time of walking alone. He searched for nine years, and what supported him was his faith.
What's more, he knew that Lu Yingqian was his only blood relative in this world.
Lin Yan stopped talking about this and took the initiative to speak: "I don't know what will happen tomorrow, so should we prepare today? At least tell Lu Yingqian her identity first."
Lu Jinghuai hummed, "I'll have to trouble you again. Find a way to get her out."
They couldn't tell Lu Yingqian about their life stories at the Xu family. If Lu Yingqian couldn't calm down and revealed anything, it would be troublesome.
Lin Yan also nodded.
After talking about the plan, Lin Yan felt a little sleepy and yawned: "I got up too early in the morning. I'll take a nap. I'll go to Xu's house later when I wake up."
Lu Jinghuai responded and Lin Yan fell asleep.
When Lin Yan woke up again, Lu Jinghuai was no longer beside her. Lin Yan got up and simply went to the yard to wash her face, then asked the bodyguard where Lu Jinghuai was.
The bodyguard told Lin Yan directly without hiding it, that Lu Jinghuai had followed Zhang Guodong to the village chief's house to discuss poverty alleviation and road construction.
Lin Yan said "Oh" and was not very curious. They all knew that poverty alleviation and road construction was just an excuse.
It was past five o'clock and the yard had become cooler, so Lin Yan did not return to her room. She moved a rattan chair and sat under the shade of a tree, looking down and playing with her mobile phone lazily.
Suddenly, it got dark in front of me.
