Chapter 485 Recovering Memory
Thinking of this, Li Beiting not only felt balanced, but even quite proud.
"Yaoyao, I will treat you better in the future and make sure you don't regret your choice today." He solemnly promised her.
Jiang Yao smiled and nodded. In fact, there was no need to wait until later. He was already doing his best to be nice to her.
So, no matter how she looked at him now, she found him cute.
…
A day later, Chen Yanzhou sorted out the information at hand and went to meet Xiao Zhengrong in person.
He sat by the window, looking at the scene outside without even turning his head.
"Mr. Xiao, it's our first meeting. Can I talk to you?"
Xiao Zhengrong sneered when he heard this, "Who are you, a lobbyist hired by the Jiang family?"
"I'm Yaoyao's friend. She was secretly followed after she left your place a day ago. She was caught off guard and was hit on the head, leaving her unconscious. She's still lying in the hospital and hasn't woken up yet."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zhengrong's pupils constricted and he turned back suddenly, "Impossible! You are lying to me!"
As far as he knew, Jiang Yao had the ability to defend himself.
How could he be easily injured?
Moreover, if the accident happened a day ago, why was he informed only now?
This must be a self-torture trick performed by the Jiang family.
The purpose is to make him soft-hearted and sympathetic.
After all, that is his bloodline.
"You may not believe it, but I have something to give you." Chen Yanzhou said as he took out a safety lock from his arms.
The lock bell jingled, like the pleasant sound of a piano, ringing in Xiao Zhengrong's ears.
He opened his eyes wide and stared at the safety lock.
"You should still remember this." Chen Yanzhou shook the safety lock in his hand, "This was the one you asked someone to make for Jiang Yao when she was just born, just to protect her safety.
There are inscriptions on it, you can see for yourself.”
Xiao Zhengrong took the safety lock with trembling hands, and gently stroked the patterns on it with his fingertips. The word "Yao" was so clear.
"Jiang Yao, this name was chosen by you personally. She was born with blessings and is the treasure of the whole family. Think about it, if you and Old Master Jiang really had a deep hatred, would you specially create this safety lock and let your daughter have the surname Jiang?"
Often, an object from the past is the most likely to trigger another person's memory.
And this peace lock is the biggest medium.
Stimulated by Shen Yanzhou's words, Xiao Zhengrong's expression kept changing, his will gradually collapsed, and his guard weakened.
Chen Yanzhou took advantage of this opportunity and slowly began to hypnotize him with words, making him close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep, and began to search for his real memories.
Xiao Zhengrong felt like he had a very long dream.
In the dream, he was born in a poor family and had a loving pair of parents. Although they were not rich, they worked hard to make money for his studies. In such a good environment, his studies became more and more advanced, his mind was more flexible than that of ordinary people, and he was even called a genius.
From childhood to adulthood, I have participated in various competitions and won big prizes.
As he grew up, he became very successful in school and even started a small business with his classmates.
Then in college, he met the girl of destiny.
The two got to know each other, fell in love, and worked hard together. After graduation, he went to meet the girl's parents.
The girl's father was not optimistic about him at first, but later gave him an opportunity, allowing him to start a business in just one year and earn hundreds of millions of profits. He finally had the confidence to propose marriage.
Later, everything went smoothly, they were recognized by their families, and gave birth to a lovely daughter.
…
His memory gradually recovered, Xiao Zhengrong's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he began to struggle in pain.
The memories that followed seemed to be reinforced with a combination lock, lingering only at the moment of the explosion before disappearing without a trace.
"ah!"
Xiao Zhengrong suddenly opened his eyes and looked around blankly when he woke up. He couldn't figure out the situation for a while.
"Mr. Xiao, do you remember your most authentic memory now?" Chen Yanzhou's voice was clear and rhythmic.
Xiao Zhengrong's sight slowly focused.
He finally remembered everything that had happened in the past twenty-five years.
No one looked down on him, no one killed his parents, and there was no revenge!
His elderly parents died of illness, passing away one after the other. They had been together all their lives and both had smiles on their faces before they died.
But why...why did he think that it was Old Man Jiang who harmed them.
"I..." Xiao Zhengrong held his head tightly, his whole body trembling, "What on earth did I do..."
Because of a false memory, he nearly killed Mr. Jiang, caused him to be hospitalized, slandered and defamed his reputation, and almost destroyed the Jiang family.
Later, what he said to his wife and daughter was worse than that of an animal!
He slapped himself hard, and his heart was filled with strong regret and pain.
"Oh right—" He suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "Where's Yaoyao? How is she now? I want to go see her. Please let me see her."
Such a fragile girl had her brain injured by someone. He didn't even dare to imagine the consequences.
It's all his fault.
It was his stupidity that harmed his wife and daughter.
He deserves to die.
Just as he was drowning in intense guilt and pain, footsteps were heard at the stairs.
"I'm here."
Jiang Yao then pushed the door open and walked in.
She was well dressed and had no wounds on her body.
"Yaoyao, you..."
"I did make up the story about you getting injured. My purpose was to cause you to be shaken and let down your guard so that I could hypnotize you and help you recover your memory." Chen Yanzhou confessed to him.
Xiao Zhengrong's body softened and he fell onto the carpet in an instant.
"fortunately……"
Fortunately, his daughter is okay.
Otherwise he will never forgive himself in his life.
But thinking about what he had done, Xiao Zhengrong was filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, Yaoyao. I took advantage of you and hurt you and your family these days! I'm really not worthy of being your father."
"Dad, I want to know who brainwashed you and made you mistakenly believe that grandpa is your enemy?" Jiang Yao went straight to the point.
Xiao Zhengrong took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and then confessed: "At this point, I have nothing to hide. It's Huo Yishen!"
"What?!" Although Jiang Yao had guessed it long ago, he still found it unbelievable when he heard the answer.
"You disappeared 25 years ago. Huo Yishen was just a half-grown child at the time. How could he be the real culprit who hid your whereabouts and tampered with your memory?"
Xiao Zhengrong rubbed his temples painfully. "I can't remember the details for now, but I clearly remember that this time when I stayed at the Jiang family, all the information I got was to be handed over to Huo Yishen."
"Then how did he brainwash you? Did he also use a hypnotist?"
"My impression is that I was locked up in a laboratory, and someone repeatedly recorded my information and talked to me every day. I must have been hypnotized without realizing it, and I was convinced that the Jiang family killed my parents."
