In the picture.
In a desolate and dark cave, a five-year-old girl untied a boy's bound hands and feet and escaped with him.
The kidnappers chased after her, and the little girl changed into the boy's clothes to lure the kidnappers away. Before leaving, she took off the necklace from her neck and gave it to the boy as a talisman.
The picture is a little blurry, but very real, as if it really happened.
This is the second time such a scene has appeared.
Gu Youran wanted to take a closer look, but suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her head.
The picture also disappeared.
She held her head, trying to ease the pain, her mind filled with confusion.
Could this be... a fragment of memory? Could it be the memory that disappeared?
She always knew that her memory before the age of five was incomplete, and it seemed that an important experience had been forgotten.
The scene just now made her vaguely feel that the forgotten memory might be related to that little girl.
Who is the little girl in the picture?
The old man also noticed Gu Youran's abnormality. He asked anxiously, "You girl, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Youran’s thoughts were instantly brought back to reality.
She shook her head. "No, I just remembered something else."
The old man didn't ask any more questions.
There was silence for a while.
The old man hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "You girl, there is one more thing I want to ask you for help."
"Have you heard of the Tong family in the capital?"
“I’ve heard a little bit about it.”
She had heard Han Jingchen mention before that the Tong family was one of the four major families in the capital, and its power and reputation were extraordinary.
The old man said: "The old man of the Tong family and I have a life-and-death friendship. He has been seriously ill recently and the doctors are helpless."
"I would like to ask you to go to the capital to help Mr. Tong with his medical treatment."
"Don't worry," the old man seemed to see her concerns, "I've already told them, they won't reveal your identity."
Gu Youran hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.
"When are you going?"
"The sooner the better."
"This is the phone number of Tong Jin, the heir of the Tong family. Keep it safe."
The old man handed Gu Youran a note and said, "Contact him before you go. He will send someone to pick you up."
Gu Youran took the note and put it away carefully.
"Okay, I understand."
At dinner time, Gu Youran had dinner with the old man, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
As the night deepened and it was getting late, she stood up and said goodbye.
The old man personally saw her to the gate.
Watching the car leave, he sighed inwardly.
Han Jingchen... Does he know what he lost by breaking up with Gu Youran and choosing Xia Ke?
Will you regret it?
Some things, once missed, can never be recovered.
…
Gu Youran returned to the Feicui Bay community.
Feeling irritated.
The image of that little girl kept appearing in her mind again and again.
It is lingering and follows you like a shadow.
Considering that today is the weekend, the next two days are days off.
She decided to go to the bar and release her emotions with alcohol.
She walked to the dressing table and began to put on makeup.
Ten minutes later, a woman with thick smoky makeup, red lips, and long curly chestnut hair appeared in front of the mirror.
She changed into a black tight leather jacket, a silver sequined vest underneath, dark blue wide-leg jeans, and a pair of black Martin boots, looking very handsome.
She was very satisfied with this outfit.
When she walks down the street and passes by acquaintances, they won't recognize her.
…
The night is as dark as ink, and the flashing neon lights give the streets a charming glow.
Gu Youran took a taxi to the largest and most luxurious dark night bar in Yuncheng.
The bar's exterior, made of obsidian-like glass, reflects a cold luster under the neon lights, like the eye of the abyss, peering into the soul of every passerby.
She walked into the bar while looking down at her phone and sending messages.
As soon as she entered the bar, she bumped into someone coming towards her.
The man was tall, with muscular chest beneath his thin shirt.
Gu Youran's nose was hit by his chest muscles and it hurt so much that she almost cried.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She covered her sore nose and apologized repeatedly.
Looking up, I saw a tall and handsome man stopped surrounded by several people.
The man had a stern face, deep eyes, and a powerful aura that exuded a sense of alienation.
He did not respond to Gu Youran's apology. After a brief pause, he passed her by.
Gu Youran didn't think much about it, rubbed his nose, and continued walking towards the bar.
After walking a distance, the man suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.
He smelled the scent of gentian flowers mixed with a faint medicinal aroma.
This familiar scent was the same as the scent of the woman he was looking for.
Shi Heng immediately turned around and hurried into the bar, his steps a little messy.
"Brother Heng, what's wrong?" Shen Yuanbai didn't know what was going on and tried to keep up with him.
"Quickly send someone to find the woman who bumped into me just now." Shi Heng ordered in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanbai quickly took out his cell phone and called Zheng Dong.
He described the woman's appearance and dress in detail and ordered Zheng Dong to send someone to look for her.
In the bar, dark lights and flashing LED screens create a dreamy atmosphere.
There was a small stage at the front where a band was playing current hits.
In the dance floor, people's figures are intertwined. Driven by the music, people dance to their heart's content, releasing the beast in their hearts.
The bar is spacious enough, cleverly divided into many booths and private rooms, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people partying.
Gu Youran found an inconspicuous corner to sit down and ordered three bottles of whiskey.
Bottle after bottle, she drank two bottles in a row.
The strong taste of whiskey burned in her body, her cheeks gradually turned red and her eyes became blurred.
When the third bottle of whiskey was empty, Gu Youran walked towards the stage with a staggering step.
At this time, the stage was empty and it was the band's intermission.
The music paused and the entire bar was immersed in a brief silence.
Gu Youran's actions did not attract everyone's attention at first.
Standing in the center of the stage, her eyes were a little dazed, but they cleared up the moment her fingers touched the strings of the electric guitar.
Her fingertips jumped quickly on the strings, like a series of afterimages passing by.
The electric guitar prelude suddenly sounded, instantly breaking the silence of the bar.
Everyone turned to look at the stage.
On the stage dazzled by spotlights, the woman with smoky makeup is like the brightest star in the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The singing burst out from deep in her chest, with a metallic texture, penetrating every inch of space.
"In ordinary days, you are my only hope; every breath is entangled with your name; liking you is the deepest confession from the bottom of my heart..."
Every word seemed to be torn out from the depths of her soul, striking everyone's heart.
Her body swayed to the rhythm of the music, and every movement was full of power, a bit wild and unruly.
Everyone instantly recognized the familiar melody and lyrics...
