The farm owners were grateful that he stayed to look after the land and invited him to stay for a meal, but Gumai refused.
He patted Land's head and smiled as he declined, "Maybe next time. I have some things to do and have to go now."
Land looked at Gu Mai with reluctance.
He always felt that his parents loved him, but they always coaxed him. Only Gumai would talk to him as an equal, like an adult, which made Land feel valued.
He threw himself into Gu Mai's arms and asked, "Uncle, will you come back to see me next time?"
Remembering what he had said about arranging a meeting with Rose, he also wanted to make an appointment with Gu Mai, so he looked up at him expectantly.
Gu Mai knew that if he agreed now, he would definitely disappoint him. Si Ge had been causing trouble recently, and if it was really retaliation against him, he shouldn't have come. But he didn't know how long it would take to deal with the recent events.
He didn't answer Land's question, but instead said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don't worry, you remember, I still have one wish left."
"Great!" he exclaimed excitedly.
Gu Mai bid farewell to his family and walked outside. Not only was the temperature dropping drastically, but also a few snowflakes, about the size of salt grains, began to fall from the sky.
From afar, Gu Mai saw Land being led into the wooden house by the couple. He thought to himself: Land, my wish is for you to grow up healthy and happy.
Even though he knew he shouldn't have come, since he had given the land away, this was his only wish.
With this thought in mind, he couldn't help but feel a slight self-mockery as he turned and left.
The news of Gu Mai's departure from S country was not deliberately concealed, but Lauren was somewhat uneasy.
He always felt that some secrets could no longer be kept, but he didn't want to interfere and interrupt Gu Mai's plans.
If Gu Mai really found out about that, what a bloody storm would rage through the Nasge family...
Zhuo Wen sat in his study, listening to Shi Yu's investigation results.
Shi Yu looked at the information he had received, and felt a sense of surprise that was both unexpected and yet reasonable.
But he felt that Zhuo Wen should know about this: "Wen, I guessed right, he has indeed lost his memories of Yue'er."
A look of disbelief crossed the man's face. "What did you say?"
Shi Yu: "Yes, this is the information I received from the dean of Sekolo Academy. After Yue'er's accident, the former Sige family sent someone to find the dean and asked him if he had any good hypnotists to recommend. I followed this path and found out that he had been hypnotized by a professor."
He made copies of Gu Mai's treatment plan and medical records and placed them in front of Zhuo Wen.
"His file states that he needs hypnotherapy due to psychological trauma. The purpose of the treatment is to reduce the psychological trauma, which is actually... erasing the impactful memories..."
"Although it doesn't explicitly state the specific content of the mental stimulation, I think it was the intention of the former head of the Sige family. However, the timing is too close, and considering his behavior... I don't think there are that many coincidences."
Zhuo Wen's eyes were extremely cold. Upon hearing this, he slightly closed them to conceal a hint of murderous intent in his gaze. "So you mean that Gu Mai lost his memory because his old man had someone hypnotize him?"
He couldn't give a definite answer to the question, and instead continued, "He also..."
His pause made Zhuo Wen slightly raise his eyelids to stare at him.
“He also visited Xingyao’s personal studio. I went there during my investigation and found his name on the visitor registration list.”
A sudden wave of worry washed over him, "So, what about his trip back to Jiangcheng this time...?"
He fell into deep thought. Could it be that Gu Mai went back this time to ask Song Xingyao to help him regain his memories?
But have all the things he's painstakingly planned over the years been wrong?
A pink envelope still sat on the table; it was Zhuo Yue's suicide note, with the man's name written on the cover.
The suicide note should have been handed to Gu Mai when they met that day, but he acted as if he knew nothing about it and didn't deserve to see it at all.
He didn't open it, nor did he dare to, because it was Zhuo Yue's secret.
Being treated like that must have been hateful!
Only with this mindset could he feel at ease avenging Zhuo Yue.
His face grew increasingly gloomy, and Shi Yu interrupted his thoughts at the right moment, "Zhuo Wen! Stop thinking about it! I will contact Xing Yao and find out the truth. In fact, this matter cannot be resolved by us just adding fuel to the fire. Obviously, the royal family also wants to teach them a lesson."
“You haven’t even handed over all the evidence you have yet, and Sige is already in such a crisis. I know you’ve been waiting for an apology from them. Why don’t you wait until I’ve contacted Xingyao before making any decisions?”
Zhuo Wen nodded, having to admit that Shi Yu really understood him. He had long known that the royal family wanted to punish the Sige family for their private conduct, so he went along with it.
If Gu Mai really doesn't remember anything, then what's the point of what he did for Yue'er?
Even if I die, I want to die knowing why!
Seeing that he had recovered and his tense expression had relaxed slightly, Shi Yu felt relieved enough to contact Song Xingyao.
When Song Xingyao received the call, she had just opened Gu Mai's appointment email.
Swipe to answer: "Hello?"
The person on the other end spoke politely: "Dr. Song, hello, I'm a professor who stayed on at the University of Sekro..."
Song Xingyao took the phone away from her ear and glanced at the name on the screen, thinking she had mistakenly answered a scam call.
After the person on the other end finished introducing themselves, a slightly questioning voice reached Shi Yu's ears: "What's wrong, Shi Yu?"
Hearing that warm and familiar tone of voice, a fleeting feeling of unease washed over me, leaving me somewhat embarrassed...
Shi Yu: "You've regained your memories?"
Then he heard a series of light laughter. Shi Yu cursed inwardly: Fu Siming, that bastard!
Although she was mostly happy, the next second she heard Song Xingyao reply, "I haven't fully recovered, but I've remembered a lot. Maybe... it will take some more time!"
Shi Yu: "It's a good thing that you can remember it."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two remembered their business and heard Shi Yu ask such a serious question.
Song Xingyao asked in return, "What's wrong?"
After a long silence, a soft sigh escaped from the other end: "It's about Zhuo Yue..."
"Zhuo Yue?" Sensing confusion, he raised his voice.
Song Xingyao only knew that Zhuo Yue was young and had committed suicide after being humiliated.
However, they were unaware of any connection between this matter and the Gumai or even the Sige family.
