Half a month passed peacefully.
Because Han Tianyu's father was on a business trip abroad and could not return home until he had dealt with his affairs, the meeting between the families had been put on hold. Several people were not idle either, and had been investigating the affairs of Chen Zirong and Chen Xu, father and son.
Jiang Luoning went to the hospital accompanied by Fu Linxiao to hypnotize Chen Xu. Now that her identity had been exposed, she had nothing to worry about.
Seeing the person coming, Chen Xu felt a little awkward and at a loss.
Fu Linxiao followed behind without showing any emotion, like an invisible man and not affecting Jiang Luoning at all.
"Chen Xu, long time no see, why hasn't anyone come to see you?"
Jiang Luoning sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. As he spoke, his fingers tapped the wooden armrests of the sofa, and he asked the questions in his mind.
Looking at the graceful Jiang Luoning, Chen Xu smiled bitterly: "I told them I went abroad."
"Oh, Chen Xu? Don't you have anything you want to tell me?"
Chen Xu moved his lips and was about to speak, but then he looked at Fu Linxiao at the door.
Jiang Luoning followed his gaze and then remembered Fu Linxiao's presence and said casually: "Brother Linxiao, please go out and wait for me."
Fu Linxiao glanced at Chen Xu, whose leg was still in a cast on the bed, and said in a deep voice, "Call me if you need anything. I'll be at the door."
The girl nodded in agreement.
Only Chen Xu and Jiang Luoning were left in the ward.
Chen Xu asked tentatively, "Ning'er, can I call you that?"
"Mr. Chen, we don't seem to be that familiar with each other?" Jiang Luoning did not respond when he heard Chen Xu's address.
"I'm sorry, Miss Jiang. You may find me offensive when I tell you this, but I always have a dream where we're very close and you're very dependent on me, and that's how I call you. We're picking out wedding dresses together and preparing for the engagement party—"
The man on the bed seemed to be lost in memories, recounting what he had experienced. Jiang Luoning listened and stared at Chen Xu's eyes, trying to see something from his expression.
What Chen Xu said was exactly what happened in their previous lives. Could it be that Chen Xu was also reborn?
Jiang Luoning suppressed the shock and fear in his heart.
"Did Mr. Chen have a brain injury? His paranoia is quite severe."
Chen Xu looked at the girl, whose expression remained unchanged and who was laughing out loud. He didn't show any displeasure at all. Instead, he continued in a slow voice, "In my dream, I did things that hurt you, but they weren't from my heart. It was like I was being manipulated, and I didn't even realize it. There was also a masked man who placed a tracker in a gift for you and asked me to give it to you, and I actually did it. But I don't know why, even though we were about to get engaged, you died in Fu Linxiao's arms."
Chen Xu continued to narrate what happened in his previous life with great emotion. Jiang Luoning frowned, her fingers trembling slightly. She looked at the man and saw a tear sliding down the corner of his eye. She didn't understand why.
"Chen Xu, do you think this is really a dream?"
Jiang Luoning's cold and trembling voice interrupted Chen Xu's narration.
The man was suddenly surprised and looked at Jiang Luoning, whose lips were trembling slightly, on the sofa with confusion: "Ning'er, what do you mean? Did I really do this?"
The girl suddenly stood up and walked over to the bed. She spoke in that same emotionless and cold voice, "Chen Xu, you want to know the truth? Then you must cooperate with me."
Da-da-da-da
The voice echoed in the room again.
"Look at me, Chen Xu, and tell me you want to know the truth!"
The man's eyes gradually became blurred and his pupils became scattered and lifeless.
"I want to know and cooperate with you."
Jiang Luoning saw the change in the man's expression and knew that the hypnosis had taken effect. He pressed the issue and asked, "Do you know who your biological father is?"
"I am an orphan, I have no parents, and I was adopted by Mrs. Dong when I was young."
"Then why is your last name Chen?"
The man remained expressionless: "I took Mrs. Dong's last name, so naturally my last name is Chen."
"Why are you trying to hurt me?"
Hearing this question, Chen Xu suddenly became a little agitated. He wanted to stand up as if he was eager to explain himself, but he was unable to do so. He said hurriedly: "I didn't mean to harm you. The bracelet was prepared by Siqing. She likes Fu Linxiao and wants to be friends with you and get closer to him."
Jiang Luoning was still confused, thinking of Chen Xu's behavior in the coffee shop: "Then how do you know about the bracelet's location?"
Chen Xu hurriedly explained.
"That bracelet is just like the one in my dream!"
It was that dream again! Jiang Luoning was still unsure how Chen Xu knew about his past life, whether he was reborn or just imagining it all. After thinking for a moment, he continued to probe, "What's going on with the masked man?"
"He was wearing a mask and a black cape, but I didn't remember seeing him before, yet he looked very familiar."
Chen Xu frowned, recalling the man in his dream.
"A ring! That person is wearing a blue ring! It has a blue and black gemstone on it."
Jiang Luoning looked at Chen Xu who was still in a hypnotic state, believed what he said, then turned off the recorder in his hand and ended the recording.
The sound of snapping fingers rang out, and then the room fell silent. Chen Xu, who was lying on the bed, gradually became clear-headed. Sensing something was wrong with him, he turned to look at Jiang Luoning and asked, "What happened to me just now?"
Jiang Luoning didn't answer. He stared at the man's expression, unable to detect the slightest abnormality. "Chen Xu, some things can't be made up for, but they are in the past. It's not too late to make up for them before they happen again."
Hearing Jiang Luoning's words, Chen Xu was somewhat confused. Before he could grasp the meaning of the words, the girl's cold voice came again: "Don't trust anyone so easily. At least we are not enemies in this life."
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Chen Xu time to explain and turned around and walked towards the door. With the sound of the door closing, Chen Xu came back to his senses embarrassedly. He looked in the direction of the door, and what Jiang Luoning had just said kept running through his mind.
Close your eyes and meditate, and everything will return to peace.
