Chapter 285 Shen Zhichu Recovers His Memory
The video was edited and only lasted five minutes.
Shen Zhichu sat blankly in front of the computer. When the video screen came out, the blocked memories leaked out like a flood, instantly submerging her entire sea of consciousness, and then slowly turned into pieces of broken ice, as bright as a cracked mirror, each piece recording her lost memory.
Those memories were like roaring demons, howling and fighting inside her body, trying to hide her most feared memories. But as the video played, the locks that locked the "demons" were broken free one by one, and they were laid out in front of Shen Zhichu in blood.
Hearing a gunshot in the video, Shen Zhichu's eyes turned red and tears rolled down her eyes. She hugged her head tightly, fell off the chair and screamed in pain.
"No...Bai Qiu!"
Her brain felt like it was about to explode. She hugged her head tightly, trying desperately to suppress the memories that had burst out, but it was no use. The images were so clear and cruel in front of her that she had to look directly at them.
"Don't..." Don't leave...
——"Little crybaby, I can't carry you home this time."
——"I'm not hurt at first, don't feel sad for me..."
——"I can help you solve anything you're afraid of, including people."
——"I'm sorry Chuchu, Bai Qiu is just a little fool and can't protect you..."
"Ah!" Shen Zhichu cried out in pain. After the video in the video played once, the account was automatically logged out and the computer screen went black. The people in the Internet cafe were startled by the sudden woman's scream and turned their attention to the corner filled with crying sounds.
Shen Zhichu covered his mouth, his body trembling into a ball, tears falling one by one, landing on the back of his hand and burning his heart.
She choked up and whispered, "No wonder I couldn't find you no matter how hard I tried. It turns out you and I are no longer in the same world..."
The blocked memories were terrifying. She remembered that her father committed suicide by jumping off a building, the Shen family went bankrupt, she was locked up in Repulse Bay like a dog by Li Jingshen, he threw her off the building to have an abortion, and he forced her to get pregnant.
In order to save his sweetheart, she divorced him and was handed over to the kidnappers. Her ten fingers were pierced with 28 steel needles, her skin was cold branded 22 times, cut with knives 11 times, and burned with cigarettes 5 times... Her collarbone was pierced and she was injected with 8 shots of unknown drugs.
But these were not the most painful things. What made her fall into despair and struggle was that she saw Bai Qiu die in front of her eyes. She called Li Jingshen ten times, but he didn't answer any of them. In the end, Bai Qiu's life was lost on this "bet".
Such a good Bai Qiu, who gave her all her cookies, made candied haws earrings for her, and said he would always protect her, was bleeding in front of her eyes.
He was still the big brother who carried her home nineteen years ago, the one who used candied haws to soothe her from crying. He died in front of her just as she recognized him.
Shen Zhichu gasped in pain, the scars on her body that had healed long ago began to hurt again, the blood vessels on her neck bulged, and she held her head and tore her hair.
The heart in her left chest was already riddled with holes, and her soul was shattered as well. Shen Zhichu put herself in a small box, thinking she could escape the past, but the box was filled with needles that would prick her no matter how she dodged.
The Internet cafe owner came over after hearing the noise, looked at Shen Zhichu who was curled up on the ground, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Zhichu seemed not to hear. His beautiful cat-like pupils were now like two dark abysses, so empty that it frightened people.
The boss reached out and touched her shoulder with his fingertips.
Just a light touch, and the woman was like a frightened bird, her drooping eyelashes trembling.
"Do you want to go to the hospital?" asked the Internet cafe owner.
Under the strong stimulation, Shen Zhichu temporarily closed her five senses. She watched the man in front of her mouth opening and closing, but she could not hear his voice clearly.
She supported herself on the chair beside her, then stumbled and fell to the ground in a messy manner. Her long, disheveled hair covered her face, making her look like a madman.
The back of his hand was pressed by the chair, and a red patch was rubbed off. However, Shen Zhichu seemed not to feel it, as if he had become accustomed to such pain.
The woman stood up shakily, her voice hoarse: "He's dead. This was a mistake from the beginning."
She mistakenly thought Li Jingshen was the person who saved her and brought her home when she was eight years old, and worshipped a hypocritical, cruel and ruthless demon as a god in her heart for many years.
Her stomach twitched, Shen Zhichu lowered her head, blood flowed from her slightly open mouth, staining the hair on her face red. She walked out slowly like a ghost, and the people around her automatically stayed away from her, fearing that she was a psychopath and would hurt others.
After leaving the Internet cafe, she stood on the street and looked at the foggy sky, which seemed to be covered with dark gray despair. An invisible giant hand grasped her, tightening little by little. Her flesh shrank suddenly, her bones were crushed, and the soul hidden in her body trembled.
A black luxury car quickly drove up to her and stopped. Shen Zhichu's pupils moved slightly as she watched Li Jingshen come out from the back seat. He was wearing a white shirt that didn't suit his personality. He was tall and as beautiful as jade, elegant and noble. His face looked a little pale because he had just had his stomach washed.
"Come back with me."
As soon as Li Jingshen saw her clothes, he knew that she wanted to escape. He was angry, but when he saw her thin figure, red and swollen eyes, and blood at the corner of her mouth... his heart seemed to turn into ice and be shattered by someone's hammer.
He went over and held Shen Zhichu's cold hand. Surprisingly, she did not resist and obediently followed him into the car.
"You poisoned me so you could take this opportunity to escape?" Li Jingshen put his arm around her and asked her.
"Yes, but it's a pity that the herbicide wasn't strong enough to kill you directly."
Li Jingshen clenched his teeth, tasting a hint of blood. His stomach, which had just been washed, began to feel a burning pain again. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Chen Zhichu, do you really hate me so much? You're willing to dirty your own hands and poison my soup?"
Shen Zhichu seemed to have heard a huge joke. She laughed hard, and her body trembled like grass in a rainstorm.
Shen Zhichu asked back, "Did you get your hands dirty?" She stretched out her ugly hands tremblingly in front of Li Jingshen.
"These hands have been pierced with 28 steel needles, their nails have fallen off, and they're covered in blood. How can they still be clean?"
Li Jingshen's breathing stagnated. What he had been trying to hide suddenly broke out. The fear in his eyes seemed to turn into a storm that swallowed him up.
After a while, he tried to open his mouth, but it felt like there was a piece of coptis stuck in his throat, and the bitterness grew stronger as his voice came out.
"You remember everything?"
"Yes, I remember everything. Li Jingshen, how can I not hate you? You destroyed my family and sent me to the kidnappers to be tortured! How can I not hate you! During these months of amnesia, it was really hard for you to make up so many stories to deceive a fool like me."
Li Jingshen's throat choked. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
The hatred in Shen Zhichu's eyes grew stronger and stronger, almost like a scorching fire, branding him.
Chen Zhichu suddenly scoffed and said sarcastically, "I'm curious, seeing how I can tell the story of our love after seeing all the injuries from beginning to end, don't you feel guilty and disgusted?"
"I'm sorry." Li Jingshen never thought that these three words would be so difficult to say and so ineffective.
"If you can solve my injuries with just a simple "I'm sorry," can I also shoot you and say it was the gun that went off on its own?"
She would never accept Li Jingshen's apology. Otherwise, what would her fingers pierced with needles mean? What would the hundreds of wounds on her body mean? What would Bai Qiu's death mean?
Thinking of Bai Qiu, Shen Zhichu's tears fell again, his heart ached and was about to drive him crazy.
"I know that saying sorry won't solve the problem, so, Chuchu, please give me a chance to make it up to you. Blame me for being arrogant and conceited, and blame me for not believing you had stomach cancer and causing you to suffer those injuries." A line of tears flowed from the corner of Li Jingshen's eyes. He held Shen Zhichu's hand tightly. If they were not in the carriage, he would have knelt down long ago.
Shen Zhichu's cold gaze frightened him, and he didn't know what he should do to prevent her from looking at him like that.
"Chen Zhichu, please give me a chance to atone for my sins. Even murderers have the opportunity to go to court. Please don't give up on me. I really know I was wrong. I aborted your child because you have stomach cancer. The doctor said you can't get pregnant. I have found a medical team studying cancer abroad. You will be saved soon."
Shen Zhichu looked at him silently. When she heard about the child, she curled her lips and said, "The only thing you did right was to kill that evil creature. You're right, he shouldn't have come into this world. If I had recovered my memory earlier, I wouldn't have tolerated him staying in my belly for four months."
"Li Jingshen, congratulations on killing your own second child. You deserve to be childless." She smiled coldly, her eyes like a venomous snake.
Li Jingshen's pupils trembled: "No, you are not telling the truth..." Shen Zhichu loved their child so much, how could he say that the dead child was an evil offspring? Was it because of him that Shen Zhichu would be so disgusted?
Shen Zhichu laughed again, and laughed at Jingshen's arrogance. His clear pupils gradually fragmented, as if a drop of ink had melted into them and became darker and darker...
There was only hatred left in Shen Zhichu's dark eyes, the hatred that was engraved into his bones was burning in his eyes.
She reached out and took off her coat, tearing open her clothes to show Li Jingshen her flesh.
"See these injuries?" She pointed to the crescent-shaped scar on her collarbone. "Your enemy, hoping to see you repent, used all sorts of torture on me: whipping, burning, electric shocks... He used a sharp weapon to gouge through my collarbone and then hung me on a wooden board!"
Li Jingshen seemed to have his soul sucked out, his breathing gradually became painful and suppressed, and the stories of torture that Shen Zhichu told him sounded like a stab to his heart.
Shen Zhichu's emotions were a little out of control. She loosened her grip on her collar and said, "You used to touch that bumpy patch of skin on my back every night. Do you know how it got there?"
Her eyes were red, and her tone was calm. "He injected anesthetic into my back and poured sulfuric acid on it little by little. I didn't feel any pain, but I could feel the skin on my back gradually corroding, making a sizzling sound..."
