Hu Yue arrived quickly after receiving the news.
She was recently investigating matters related to sorcerers, so when Song Mengmeng mentioned it to her, Hu Yue immediately rushed over.
Hu Yue didn't ask many questions when she entered the room; she first came over to check on Yao's mother's condition.
She examined her carefully for a long time before looking up at Yao Anna and Song Mengmeng with a grave expression and saying, "The situation is not good. She has been under the spell for too long. Although you acted quickly and broke the spell just now, Mengmeng, the damage caused by such a long period of time cannot be easily repaired."
My suggestion is to send her to the Xuanmen sanatorium for recuperation. As for how well she recovers, that will depend on her own efforts.
The black magic used on Yao's mother was the most common type of black magic, known as 'puppet black magic'.
Once this type of black magic is successfully cast, the victim will gradually lose the ability to think independently and become a puppet who only obeys the spellcaster's orders.
In the end, the victim will obey the spellcaster without question.
Even if the spellcaster wanted her to die, she would not hesitate!
"So, my mother has been controlled by this kind of magic all along?!" Yao Anna listened for a while. Even though she didn't fully understand the mysteries of these magics in the Xuanmen sect, she could still grasp the general meaning.
Previously, she only felt that her mother was too dependent on the Song family and too good to Song Hui, and even neglected her, her daughter!
She had initially thought her mother might have done it out of gratitude, but now it seemed that her mother was being manipulated rather than repaying a debt of gratitude…
"It's alright, I'll investigate this matter. I'll be able to find out the cause and effect." This wasn't the first time Hu Yue and Yao Anna had met. Since this matter involved her mother, Hu Yue didn't hesitate and readily stated that she would investigate the matter thoroughly.
As she spoke, she handed a business card to Yao Anna: "This has the contact information and address of the Xuanmen sanatorium on the stock exchange, and the phone number of the person in charge. Just say you are my friend after you contact them."
When I get back, I'll put in a good word for you with the dean!
"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Given your mother's current condition, it would be best to send her to a nursing home for treatment as soon as possible."
After giving Yao Anna her instructions, Hu Yue didn't linger. She asked her some more questions about Yao Anna's family and the Song family before leaving in a hurry.
Seeing her mother's current state, Yao Anna could no longer remain calm in the ward. She immediately contacted the relevant sanatorium using the business card Hu Yue had given her, and together with Song Mengmeng, they put Yao's mother, who was still unconscious, into the ambulance that the sanatorium had sent to pick up the patient.
Yao Anna originally wanted to go along to take a look, but the staff member who came to pick her up politely declined.
The reason given by the staff for refusing Yao Anna's request was quite intriguing—to protect the patient's privacy.
When Yao Anna first saw her mother off, she didn't quite understand. It wasn't until her mother was picked up by a car and she was escorted back to the ward by Song Mengmeng that she realized the reason behind it.
Sometimes, troubles involving the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) are caused, and these usually involve extremely prominent figures in society.
Once you have money and power, you want to have even more.
Insatiable greed.
When all academic pursuits fail to satisfy them in reality, many of them turn to other avenues, such as unorthodox methods.
Ultimately, he suffered greatly from it and had no choice but to enter such a sanatorium to heal his wounds.
Even knowing they've been scammed, the big shots still need to save face.
Therefore, for the safety and dignity of these people, the sanatorium has implemented a very strict confidentiality system since its establishment! The strictest rule is that no patient is allowed to visit freely after admission.
Previously, the only way to contact relatives inside was by phone, but now there are new ways, such as video calls.
Because Hu Yue had arranged the trip to the sanatorium, Yao Anna didn't say anything more, trusting Hu Yue, since her mother's health was the most important thing right now.
Yao Anna originally thought that once she had settled her mother, the matter would be temporarily over. However, she did not expect that shortly after she and Song Mengmeng returned to the ward, the tightly closed ward door was violently pushed open from the outside.
The person who rushed in from the outside without any regard for appearances was none other than Aunt Zhou, who looked terrified.
"Nana, where's your mother?!" Aunt Zhou seemed to realize what Yao Anna had just done only when she saw her. A hint of embarrassment and guilt flashed across her face, but she quickly composed herself, smiled calmly at Yao Anna, and asked as kindly as possible.
"How did you know my mother was coming to the listing?" Yao Anna didn't answer Aunt Zhou's question, but instead raised her eyebrows and asked a question in return.
Actually, the answer to this question isn't something you can guess.
Given her mother's relationship with Aunt Zhou, her coming to the IPO must have been at Aunt Zhou's behest.
However, this did not stop her from using this question to create confusion. Yao Anna glanced at Aunt Zhou's expression without showing any emotion, and sure enough, she clearly saw a flash of worry and fear on her face.
Although she tried to cover it up very quickly, Yao Anna still saw through it clearly.
"Your mother called me when she came!" Aunt Zhou, who had managed to keep her mother in check for so many years, quickly regained her composure and answered Yao Anna's questions without any guilt, appearing quite calm and fearless.
Yao Anna wasn't surprised by Aunt Zhou's attitude. She smiled and, before Aunt Zhou could continue her tirade against Song Hui's father, after Aunt Zhou had been grumbling for a long time, Yao Anna continued, "Didn't my mother tell you that her health is very poor right now and she's not suited for such long-distance travel?!"
“I tried to persuade her! But you know, when a mother finds out her daughter is in trouble, how can she sit still? Even if she's not feeling well, as long as she has a breath left, she'll crawl to her children’s side.”
Aunt Zhou had already prepared a response to Yao Anna's dissatisfaction, and her reply was naturally calm and composed, as if it were perfectly reasonable.
"Really?" Yao Anna raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Aunt Zhou with a half-smile: "Are you really sure that my mother came to see me because she was worried about me?!"
Why didn't they ask me a single question after seeing me? Instead, all they did was tell me to be more forgiving and forgive Song Hui as soon as possible!
