Why did you lie to me?
Gu Baiwei looked at him; his eyes, which used to be bright and sparkling, were now lifeless and looked strangely sinister.
Qi Yu paused for a moment, then smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"
"It's all fake, isn't it? My memories."
Gu Baiwei pointed to her head, her usually gentle and melodious voice now hoarse and cold.
"You are not my husband, and I am not your wife. So who am I?"
Her eyes were fixed on Qi Yu, filled with coldness and fear.
All those jumbled memories in her head are fake, so what is real?
For a moment, she even doubted that she herself, and even her name, were fake.
Seeing her like this, Qi Yu's face flashed with annoyance and heartache.
He reached out to take her hand, but she dodged it before he could even touch it.
He could only sigh helplessly: "Weiwei, your memory is damaged and you may be a little confused, but believe me, I won't lie to you."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand to her with deep affection: "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
His deep eyes met hers, his gaze incredibly sincere.
For a fleeting moment, Gu Baiwei almost instinctively grabbed his hand, but a sudden sharp pain in her head made her scream and clutch her head in agony.
Something seemed to be wriggling in her mind, a chilling sensation that instantly made her back break out in a fine layer of cold sweat.
Qi Yu stared intently at her, then lowered his gaze and gently placed his pale hand on her head.
The strange fragrance filled her nose and mouth, making Gu Baiwei feel drowsy.
She swayed and fell uncontrollably to the ground.
Qi Yu swiftly pulled the person into her arms, her gaze lingering on her pale, thin face. She murmured to herself, "Still not working? We've tried so many times..."
On a dark and windy night, in a narrow and gloomy underground passage.
The old wall lamps on the wall emitted a faint, dim yellow light.
Big Head held a flashlight, his leather shoes creaking on the bluestone pavement.
Shen Yanqing was protected behind him, followed by a large group of bodyguards.
They had been walking through the secret passage for over half an hour since they found it in the wall of the dark room, but the long, narrow passage was still shrouded in darkness.
"Damn it, how come this passage still isn't over?"
Big Head rubbed his bald head in frustration. Inside, the light was dim, making it impossible to tell day from night, and the passageways were narrow and cramped, making it difficult for two people to walk side by side.
In such a dark and cramped space, if you stay for too long, you feel like you can hardly breathe.
Moreover, every time I breathe, I feel a musty smell in my nasal cavity, which makes me feel irritable and nauseous.
More importantly, Shen Yanqing was in very poor condition in this environment, and her face had turned pale by now.
Every few steps, Da Tou couldn't help but secretly observe the boss's condition. He was filled with regret, thinking he should have desperately stopped the boss from coming down. He was afraid that the boss would have another relapse if he stayed in such an environment for too long.
Although the space here is open from front to back, it is still ultimately small and cramped.
Finally, just as Shen Yanqing's smooth forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, a white light appeared in front of him.
"It's an exit!"
After walking for so long in the dark passage, everyone was somewhat lifeless.
The moment they saw hope, their spirits immediately soared, and their pace quickened unconsciously.
Big Head took a few slow steps and reached out to support Shen Yanqing's arm: "Boss, let me help you."
Shen Yanqing's face was now as white as paper, and she glanced at him indifferently, which was taken as acquiescence.
As the light ahead drew closer, Da Tou unconsciously pulled Shen Yanqing to quicken their pace; they were finally about to leave.
The exit was in sight, and the air in the dark passage became much fresher.
Shen Yanqing was half-supported and half-carried forward by Da Tou, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.
"Boss?"
Big Head stopped and looked at him in confusion, and the bodyguards behind him immediately stopped as well.
The moment the footsteps disappeared, everyone clearly heard a low sobbing sound coming from ahead.
Her voice was soft and gentle, and she would occasionally sob, sounding like someone was crying.
The sudden appearance of crying in this place seems rather eerie.
Shen Yanqing wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. Now the air was fresh and his field of vision was much wider, and he no longer felt so uncomfortable.
He frowned and looked in the direction the sound came from, vaguely seeing a small figure crouching near the exit.
"Let's go take a look."
After staring at the small shadow for a while, Shen Yanqing gave instructions to the black-clad bodyguard behind him.
A tall bodyguard immediately stepped out from the group and bowed respectfully to Chen Yanqing: "Yes, boss."
After saying that, he quickly strode towards the shadowy figure.
Soon, Shen Yanqing saw the bodyguard bending down as if talking to the small figure.
After a brief exchange, the bodyguard in black waved to them: "Boss, it's a kid from a nearby village who got lost."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickened their pace to leave the secret passage.
As they walked out, Shen Yanqing glanced at her watch. They were walking at a fast pace, yet it still took them more than an hour to get through this secret passage.
Moreover, the materials used to construct this secret passage, as well as the style of the wall lamps above it, are quite old, suggesting that it was built a long time ago.
However, now is not the time to think about that. They've wasted so much time in the secret passage that Weiwei might have been taken even further away.
Thinking of this, Shen Yanqing's face darkened again, and his fingers clenched into fists.
That bastard, we'd better not let him catch him!
When they reached the exit, the girl who had been crying outside had stopped crying.
At this moment, it was staring at them with its big, watery eyes, its gaze full of vigilance.
Big Head forced a smile at the child, trying to be as gentle as possible, but since he already looked fierce, the smile only made him look more terrifying.
As a result, before he could even speak, the girl, who had just stopped crying, was frightened into crying again.
"Waaaaah... Bad guy, don't come any closer... Mommy, I need Mommy..."
Big Head??? He may not be the best-looking guy, but he's definitely not a bad person! Besides, he hasn't done anything wrong, has he?
"Little sister, would you like some candy?"
Tang Doudou was crying so hard she could barely breathe when suddenly a slender, fair hand appeared in front of her.
The nails were trimmed very cleanly and neatly, and the shape was extremely beautiful.
Three beautifully wrapped candies lay quietly in her fair palm, their shiny wrappers reflecting a soft luster, looking incredibly tempting.
She couldn't help but swallow and looked up at the owner of that hand.
