Chapter 75 He is Aci
"Aci!"
In the VIP ward of Nancheng Hospital, Lu Shiyan suddenly woke up from his coma, tears in his eyes, breathing in big gulps, and his nostrils were filled with the strong and pungent smell of disinfectant.
The sudden dazzling white in front of his eyes made him squint uncomfortably. Fu Ci's strange and cold eyes, and his indifferent and heartless attitude suddenly flashed through his mind.
All of these were like sharp knives, cutting into his heart, causing him so much pain that he could hardly breathe and bled profusely.
Huo Jingchen and Zhou Mu, who were talking outside the ward, heard the noise inside and quickly pushed open the door. They looked anxious and concerned and asked, "Ayan, are you awake?"
Seeing that they were the only two people there, Lu Shiyan saw a flash of disappointment in their eyes. He forced himself to sit up and asked with anticipation and urgency, "Cousin, Zhou Mu, that person just now... was Ah Ci, right?"
Huo Jingchen and Zhou Mu looked at each other, opened their lips, and said slowly: "Ayan, I was just discussing this with Zhou Mu."
"The young man just now is the eldest son of the Fu family, a century-old family in South City. He is also the only heir of the Fu family. He has been frail and sickly since childhood, so tonight is his first time appearing in public."
"impossible!"
Lu Shiyan said in a firm and resolute tone: "He is obviously Ah Ci, I won't make a mistake." As he said that, he lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed to find Fu Ci.
Zhou Mu quickly stopped him and said, "Ayan, you are still very weak and need to rest well."
"And please calm down first and listen to us slowly."
"How can you ask me to calm down?"
Lu Shiyan shouted hoarsely, his eyes deep and sad as he stared at the endless darkness outside the window, just like his heart in the past three years, as lonely and boundless as a withered leaf and a dead tree.
"I always thought his mother was my father's beloved white moonlight, which is why my mother died of depression and always took her anger out on Aci."
"But later I realized how wrong I was. It turned out that my mother was the one who was wrong. My mother was the one who destroyed the relationship between my father and his mother in order to save the Huo family from bankruptcy."
"Ayan, what did you say?"
The emotions in Huo Jingchen's eyes trembled violently, and he couldn't help shaking. An expression of astonishment and disbelief instantly covered his cold face.
He suddenly grabbed Lu Shiyan's wrist, his voice tightening slightly, "Are you saying that your aunt deliberately broke up your father and Fu Ci's mother in order to save the Huo family's business?"
Lu Shiyan looked sad and laughed at himself, "Yes, cousin, it turns out we've been wrongly blaming Ah Ci. The real fault is my mother."
"But that little fool Ah Ci's heart and eyes were all about me, and in the end he even fell into the sea for me."
On that day three years ago, Shen Hanxiao knew that he couldn't threaten him for long with videos and photos, so he asked him to meet with a gun just to force him to submit. However, he didn't expect that it was Fu Ci who came in the end.
A tear slid down Lu Shiyan Qingjun's face. He smiled softly, a smile filled with broken despair, misery, and sadness. "He's been missing for three years, and I've been looking for him for three whole years."
"For the past three years, I've been numbing myself with intense work during the day, and relying on medication to get a little sleep at night. I've been living like a zombie."
"Now Ah Ci is right in front of me, but he doesn't remember me. How do you think I should stay calm?"
Zhou Mu looked at Lu Shiyan's face, which was as pale as snow and increasingly thin. It seemed as if the whole person would shatter if touched lightly. He couldn't bear to look at it and could only continue to enlighten him.
"Ayan, that man does look exactly like Fu Ci, but I've observed him carefully. Whether it's his temperament, his way of speaking, or his gestures, he doesn't look like Aci."
Lu Shiyan obviously couldn't accept that the man wasn't his A Ci. He looked flustered and stubborn. "That's because he lost his memory. A lot can change in these three years. As long as he remembers, he will become A Ci."
Zhou Mu sighed solemnly, "Ayan, I know this may be hard for you to accept, but from a professional perspective, a person's voice and appearance can change, but behavior is very difficult to change."
Lu Shiyan felt like he was thrown into an endless abyss, his blood froze. He knew he should trust Zhou Mu's professional judgment.
But his Ah Ci is missing. He has been searching for him for a long time but still can't find him. Now, someone who looks exactly like him suddenly appears in front of him. How can he believe that this is not his Ah Ci?
Lu Shiyan huddled on the hospital bed, his hands hugging his knees. He looked pale and helpless, sad and lonely. Tears gleamed in his eyes, his pale lips trembled slightly, and his voice was very weak. "No, he is Ah Ci."
Huo Jingchen finally came back to his senses from the shock and disbelief of the fact, but his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it, and his aura was suppressed to the extreme.
His voice was heavy. "Ayan, it was all my cousin's fault before. He wrongly blamed Fu Ci's mother and misled you to resent Fu Ci as well."
He patted Lu Shiyan's shoulder solemnly and said word by word: "You said he was Fu Ci, so he is Fu Ci. No matter who he is, I will help you find him."
Zhou Mu's brows furrowed sharply, his face full of disapproval. "Brother Huo, you also said that the Fu family is a century-old aristocratic family in South City, and Mr. Fu holds a very important position in South City."
"It's okay if Ayan has a problem, but why are you playing along with him?"
"The eldest young master of the Fu family is completely different from Fu Ci except for his appearance and name. If he is not the real Fu Ci, wouldn't you offend the Fu family by doing this?"
Huo Jingchen listened to Zhou Mu's analysis without wavering. He said with a firm and domineering look, "Offend me if I have to. If the Huo and Lu families join forces, we may be able to compete with the Fu family."
Zhou Mu slapped his forehead hard, thinking that the two brothers were crazy. He was really afraid that they would go to the Fu family to snatch people away in an impulse.
And the inexplicable uneasiness and worry in his heart also arose. He always felt that there was a subtle weirdness in this matter, which would be hard to detect if he did not look at it from a professional perspective.
He also felt that the person was A Ci.
After all, they were his best friends, and he couldn't just watch them rush into the flames. He could only follow their lead and persuade them, "Okay, don't be impulsive."
"If he is really Ah Ci, even if he has no memories, some things that are deep in his bones will be revealed inadvertently."
"So let's not alert him yet. Let's get close to him and see if we can jog his memory. Then..."
"Boss Huo!" Huo Jingchen's special assistant pushed open the door and said respectfully, "The Fu family just called and said they want to invest a portion of the land development this time, just as a training ground for the young master."
Lu Shiyan's dim eyes suddenly brightened, and his voice trembled with excitement. "This means I can spend every day with Ah Ci."
