Chapter 504 [Xu] The murderer wanted to protect Chu Yao?
Xu Qingyun huddled in the corner of the sofa, looking at Chu Yao warily: "Who are you?"
Chu Yao just noticed that Xu Qingyun seemed to have lost his memory.
Because the first time I saw her, there was no longer the sinister resentment I had before, only a look of strangeness.
However, she was not sure whether Xu Qingyun had really lost her memory or was just pretending.
She spoke in a businesslike manner: "I'm Chu Yao, a reporter from Fengpu Daily. I'm here to help you."
When Xu Qingyun heard the word "Chu Yao", his originally frightened eyes suddenly lit up.
She sat up straighter: "So you are Chu Yao. I know you. When I was locked up in that little house, I read the newspapers. I saw many reports about you in the newspapers..."
She paused and talked about the article that impressed her the most. "You helped four children born from a close relative's marriage. Two of them were physically disabled, and two were mentally retarded. Because of you, they received social attention..."
Yep, that's what happened just last week.
After Zou Jie left Fengpu Daily, he directly entered New Vision.
He couldn't compete with others in that kind of high-intensity competition, so he started to do some tricks.
In his hometown village, there was a couple who were close relatives and had four children.
The eldest child has normal intelligence but a cleft lip, the second and third children have dementia, and the fourth child has normal intelligence and appearance but has asthma.
After giving birth to four poor children, this irresponsible couple passed away, leaving their four children to suffer in the world.
The eldest brother was driving a large truck alone to take care of his younger siblings, but was led by Zou Jie to spread rumors that their entire family had a chaotic relationship, saying that the eldest and the third child had given birth to the fourth child, and that the second child had sex with the third and fourth children...
The report went viral, but these four people were not only subjected to online violence, but were also bullied at their doorstep.
The matter was quickly clarified by Chu Yao.
Zou Jie was boycotted by the entire network for reporting fake news. New Vision also suffered heavy losses due to its damaged reputation and wanted to fire him.
He had evil thoughts again and went to try to get the second and third brothers to prove his point.
As a result, the second brother stabbed his kidney.
Qin Jiahuai felt sad after knowing his ending.
For some people, no matter how many times they are given the chance to start over, it is useless.
…
In other words, Xu Qingyun seemed to be imprisoned.
Her captors didn't allow her to use the internet, but they kept giving her newspapers to read, and she even read one last week.
Xu Qingyun looked at Chu Yao with pleading eyes, "I know you've helped many people, can you help me too? I can't remember anything now, I'm so scared..."
Chu Yao looked at her coldly.
She had that expression again.
Seemingly pitiful and helpless, friendly and gentle, admiring and dependent.
In high school, Xu Qingyun used this appearance to easily gain the trust and sympathy of many people and lead others to isolate her.
When they were alone, she could say the most vicious things in the most innocent tone.
Chu Yao leaned back slightly and smiled mockingly: "After nine years, you are still so proficient in this trick. Xu Qingyun, there are only two of us here, you don't have to act anymore."
Xu Qingyun looked bewildered: "Acting? I didn't... I don't remember anything I did..."
Chu Yao was also observing her expression.
Did she go to study acting during her nine years of disappearance? Or did she really lose her memory?
Chu Yao, with a tentative attitude, helped her recall:
"Just because my family is poor, you accused me of stealing the salmon you bought. You even let someone you had a crush on chase me, and after he caught me, he dumped me and humiliated me. Lastly, you even tried to kill me by pushing me into the lake. There are so many other little things that I'm too lazy to mention."
Xu Qingyun's already pale face turned even paler than paper.
She shook her head desperately: "How is it possible... How could I be so bad... I really don't remember... Including you saying my name is Xu Qingyun, I am not even familiar with this name..."
Chu Yao really wanted to find traces of disguise in her expression.
But Xu Qingyun's pain looked so real.
The fear and rejection that you might be a bad person doesn't seem like acting.
Chu Yao was silent for a while, then took out another photo.
It’s a group photo of the whole class that year.
She is on top, and so is Qin Jiahuai.
She handed the photo to Xu Qingyun.
"Who do you know in this photo?"
Xu Qingyun's eyes swept across those youthful faces.
When her eyes swept over the boy in the photo, her eyes suddenly widened.
"ah!!!"
She screamed in fear, waved her hand and fiercely knocked the photo away, then curled up backward desperately, holding her head tightly with both hands!
"Don't come over here, please, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
She was incoherent and her whole body was shaking like convulsions.
Chu Yao frowned slightly.
He also looked down at the photo in his hand.
In the photo, Qin Jiahuai, who was standing next to her, had a stern face, and his eyes showed the alienation and sharpness of a young man.
Was she so scared because she saw Qin Jiahuai?
Did Qin Jiahuai irritate her?
Chu Yao figured it would be useless to try to comfort her with words, so she simply walked out.
-
"What should we do?" Chu Yao discussed with Qin Jiahuai and Xu Ning.
Qin Jiahuai said, "Send her to an institution for examination first to see if she has any injuries and to check if she has real or fake amnesia. Before the Xu family collapses, don't make public the fact that she has been found. We can't let Xu Zhaotang cause any more trouble."
Xu Ning continued, "Okay, I'll go abroad right away to get the last bit of evidence against the Xu family. Sister, get ready for your blockbuster report on human placenta."
Chu Yao also agreed: "It just so happens that I will go to the place where you found her to investigate and ask if anyone has seen her in these years."
The three of them acted separately.
-
The next day.
Xu Qingyun was sent to a professional mental evaluation institution.
Soft music flowed, and Xu Qingyun slowly fell asleep under the guidance of a psychologist.
Even when she fell asleep, her brows were still furrowed and her body was shaking with anxiety.
A series of oppressive scenes emerged in my mind.
Deep in my memory, there seemed to be a distorted voice. I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, only extreme disgust could be heard.
"Look at you! It's disgusting!"
Bang!
The man cursed at her and slapped her loudly, and a burning pain immediately appeared on her face.
"You are such a bitch", "You deserve it", "You asked for it"...
Countless humiliating words flew towards her like fragments.
Another kick landed on her shoulder, and her arm hurt like it was dislocated.
But the scene was dark, and she could only see the cold floor and the occasional flickering blurry light and shadow, but not the face of the abuser.
Xu Qingyun kept shaking on the treatment chair, her whole body drenched in cold sweat.
She thought again of what Chu Yao had said to her.
Before she lost her memory, she was a very bad person and had deeply hurt Chu Yao.
He even wanted to kill Chu Yao.
So, the man who imprisoned and abused her...
Is it to help Chu Yao get revenge?
