What... is going on?
Jiang Nian saw it; it was her reflection in the mirror.
Originally, she had a tattoo on her back, designed by Lu Zhaokun himself, a rose pattern among thorns.
However, at this moment, on her back, from her shoulder blade to her waist, there was only a large, hideous scar.
It looks like a burn. No, it doesn't look like a burn; it looks more like a brand, completely and thoroughly covering the original tattoo.
What happened during the time she lost her memory?
Jiang Nian had no idea what had happened.
With Lu Zhaokun and Shen Yin around, no one would dare to do such a thing to her.
But if it weren't for someone else...
Could it be herself?
She was traumatized by Anne's death, and even did something to harm herself.
Jiang Nian took a deep breath, but her expression suddenly turned cold.
Something's not right.
She may have lost her memory, but she understands herself.
She's not the type to self-harm because she's grieving the death of a friend. And even if she did, why would she want to erase the tattoo her father gave her?
Jiang Nian quickly finished showering and lay down on the bed. Everything around her felt both familiar and strange.
She must have forgotten something.
Or perhaps something important must have happened in the past year.
Neither her father nor Jiang Ren told her.
What were they hiding from her?
*
China.
Outside the operating room of Jiangcheng's top hospital, people had been anxiously waiting for almost a whole day.
When news of Si Boye's car accident came, the Ji and Si families were still making preparations in the hotel's banquet hall.
Upon hearing this news, both grandfathers nearly collapsed on the spot. Their beloved grandson and granddaughter were sitting in that car.
When everyone rushed to the hospital, Si Boye was undergoing emergency treatment.
The passerby who noticed something was wrong and called the police or an ambulance had no idea that he had just saved such an important person. He was immediately intimidated by the presence and attire of the large group of people who arrived.
Without saying a word, Old Master Si had his men transfer two million to the passerby as a token of his gratitude.
No one expected that, in addition to the injuries from the car accident, Si Boye also had gunshot wounds.
The bullet struck Si Boye five centimeters below his heart.
If it were five centimeters higher, even if someone passed by and called an ambulance in time, there would be no need for rescue at all; the person would definitely die on the spot.
More importantly, Jiang Nian has disappeared.
The Ji family's servants all saw Jiang Nian get into the car with Si Boye that morning. However, the passerby who called the police said that when he arrived, there were only two men in the car, and no trace of the girl.
Now, the Ji family has gone mad.
What's more terrifying than a person being injured is a person going missing, their fate unknown.
Old Master Ji nearly suffered a relapse. Fortunately, all seven of Ji Yanli's brothers were present and immediately contained the news, bringing the situation under control.
Ji Mufeng finished his season's matches and made a special trip back from abroad today, hoping to surprise his sister, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, at the banquet.
However, this is what happened.
"Calm down...don't panic."
Ji Yanli spoke as if to others, but also as if to himself.
“If the other party kidnapped Niannian on purpose, then they must have had a purpose.”
"Whether they want money or anything else from the Ji family, they will definitely contact us."
But after waiting all day, the Ji family did not receive a call from anyone.
Fortunately, the driver woke up first that night.
Having been pulled back from the brink of death, he was still in shock and spoke tremblingly.
"It's...it's because someone tampered with the car, causing the brakes to fail."
"Because the car was just sent for maintenance the day before, I didn't think much about it before setting off today and didn't check it."
"I never expected this to happen. I'm so sorry to Mr. Bo and Miss Niannian..."
The driver wept bitterly.
With President Bo shot and Miss Ji missing, how could a mere driver bear such consequences!
But now no one is going to hold him accountable.
Upon hearing that someone had tampered with the car, both Grandpa Si and Grandpa Ji were furious.
"Investigate! Go investigate!"
"Even if we have to turn the entire city of Jiangcheng and the whole country upside down, we will find the culprit!"
The Si and Ji families, along with the entire city's police force, mobilized together; it was an extraordinary operation.
When the owner of the 4S store heard about it, he was so frightened that his legs almost went weak. While making a phone call with trembling hands, he realized he couldn't reach one of his employees.
When the police went to the rented house, they found that the person had obviously packed his belongings and fled.
It's absolutely impossible for a 4S store employee to tamper with Si Boye's car; he must have been paid and instructed by someone else.
Who was the person who instructed him?
At this moment, Director Zhang from Jiangcheng Police Station came over.
"Professor Ji, there's something I feel I need to say."
“My people found out that Ji Yuwei, the adopted daughter of your Ji family, took a flight to the United States this morning. And before she left, she transferred 500,000 yuan to an account.”
"I remember that not long ago she tried to frame your Ji family, but she failed because of Niannian's intervention. Later, she was blacklisted by the entertainment industry and faced a huge breach of contract penalty."
"It's very likely that she ruined her own future and harbored resentment towards Niannian. Knowing that Niannian would be riding in Si Boye's car on the day of the banquet, so..."
