She didn't carry any luggage, but seeing her go downstairs and head towards the main entrance, Zhou Liang realized something.
This old man, who had gone from being Hua Lihan's loyal bodyguard to becoming the Hua family's butler, had long since honed the excellent qualities of a butler. Zhou Liang bowed slightly and asked in his usual tone, "When will Miss Chang Le return? I'd like to make preparations."
Chang Le stopped and said, "I will come back before the award ceremony."
After saying that, Chang Le called Wang Yao, who was waiting at the door, and left.
Wang Yao has been staying at the Hua family's house for the past few days. Chang Le sent him a message asking him to pack his things.
In the car, Wang Yao asked her where she was going.
Chang Le said, "Let's go to Chaoxi Laboratory first."
On the way, when Wang Yao glanced at her for the fifth time, Chang Le looked up and met his gaze directly: "Speak your mind."
Wang Yao then asked, "What happened these past few days? Hua Lihan and Hua Anning seem to be looking for you, and you haven't replied to my messages."
Chang Le thought for a moment and said, "Yaoyao, you went to District Nine after I arrived at the Hua family, right? I didn't see you when I was in District Nine."
"Yeah, wait a minute!" Wang Yao's eyes lit up. "You remembered everything?"
Chang Le nodded.
Wang Yao's tone brightened: "Hey, what a coincidence! I've been looking for you for years, but I'm always one step too late!"
When I went to the orphanage to look for you, they said you had been adopted by a big shot in the Third District. But when I found out it was the Hua family, they said the Hua family's young lady had been lost long ago, and that's when I learned you had been sent back. By the time I rushed back, you had disappeared again.
Later, while studying and working, I searched for you. I happened to find you in the Ninth District and followed your trail to the Dragon Sect, where I met Master Mu Liangchao. But then, you went to the Hua family again.
"Knowing you were in the Hua family, I didn't go looking for you anymore. My master kept me here to learn from him. Later... my master passed away, and you were left in the Hua family. I couldn't bear it."
I knew I was too weak, so I cultivated diligently within the realm. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and only now have I found a suitable opportunity to meet again.
At this point, Wang Yao's smile faded, and he looked at her cautiously, saying, "Um, Ye Buqi, you..."
Chang Le calmly replied, "I remember now too."
“…Oh.” Wang Yao was no longer cheerful.
The two remained silent until they reached the laboratory.
Fu Heqing was already waiting for them at the door, and then led them upstairs.
"Teacher Lan is in the reception room."
Chang Le nodded.
Fu Heqing also secretly observed her, just like Wang Yao, but his gaze was even more frequent than Wang Yao's.
"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" Fu Heqing asked.
The group stood in the elevator. Chang Le gently shook his head: "Don't worry, knowing this has actually made me more stable."
Fu Heqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon entering the reception room, as soon as the door opened, Hua Lan saw Chang Le enter and immediately stood up.
After four days apart, Hua Lanshi and Chang Le sat facing each other, both visibly thinner and with identical haggard complexions.
Hua Lan looked down at the teacup, her fingers touching and fidgeting.
"Fourth Brother."
Hua Lanshi's dark eyes suddenly lit up as she looked up.
Chang Le's expression remained normal, and he greeted her like any ordinary sibling who hadn't seen her for a few days: "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine, nothing's wrong. How about you?"
Chang Le lightly touched the teacup with his fingertips: "I think I'm more awake now than ever before."
Hua Lan looked at her with complicated eyes, her words failing her.
"Fourth Brother."
Chang Le looked at him and said, "I'm going to take Xiao Fu back to District Nine."
"Will you come back?" Hua Lanshi asked immediately.
"Hmm. He hasn't finished his classes yet, has he?"
Hua Lanshi breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, that's fine. When are we leaving?"
"Now."
"Now?" Hana Ran asked in a panic, "W-Won't we stay a little longer?"
Chang Le said softly, "I'm eager to go home."
Hua Lanshi's face turned slightly pale, and she ultimately did not utter a word.
My heart longs to return home.
The word "return" is Chang Le's expression of his attitude.
Chang Le got up to say goodbye, and Hua Lanshi saw them off at the gate.
As they parted, Chang Le sighed softly and turned to Hua Lanshi, saying, "Fourth Brother, if you want to come see me in the future, just tell me."
Hua Lanshi's ashen face finally regained some color: "Alright!"
"Go to Fengxin Company."
On the way to Fengxin Company, Wang Yao looked at Chang Le with a smile: "Lele, you've softened your heart after all. Does that mean you've forgiven him?"
Chang Le let out a soft sigh: "Forgive him? It just means he'll never be able to have a clear conscience."
The victim generously accepts the accomplice, but the soft-hearted and kind-hearted accomplice will forever live in a world of guilt.
Fu Heqing asked cautiously, "Has he done anything really outrageous?"
Wang Yao also turned his head to listen.
He only knew that Chang Le's amnesia was related to the Hua family, but no one except Chang Le himself knew exactly what each person did.
Chang Le did not hide anything from them: "When my memories were sealed, Hua Lan was instructed by Hua Lihan to hypnotize me to ensure the sealing was successful."
Wang Yao immediately curled his lip: "I knew they'd all be no good!"
Fu Heqing sighed with a complicated expression and said in a deep voice, "It is unfortunate to be kind but lack the ability to help."
"You're not very old, but what you said makes a lot of sense," Wang Yao said with a smile.
Upon arriving at Fengxin Company, the group didn't go upstairs; Chen Wu was already waiting at the entrance and got directly into the car.
"Xueming Tea House".
Seeing this, Wang Yao asked, "Should we go back to the Dragon Sect right now?"
Chang Le said, "I will stay longer this time when I go back. I will bring you all with me so that you can get to know Tao Zi and also familiarize yourselves with the affairs of the domain."
