Upon hearing the voice, she raised her slightly pale face, her pointed chin, and her large, clear eyes, looking bewildered and vulnerable.
"I'm thinking about those memories I've forgotten."
Gu Baiwei blinked and said, but as she lay there, her mind was still blank, and she couldn't remember anything.
"Weiwei, if you can't remember, don't think about it. How about I take you somewhere?"
Shen Yanqing reached out and patted her head, then bent down to help her up from the bed. He then took a coat from the side and carefully draped it over her shoulders before picking her up and striding towards the door.
As evening approached and the city streets gradually came to life, a black Maybach sped by.
The driver's side window was open, revealing a delicately profiled face with a high nose bridge, smooth and three-dimensional facial features, and a carefully trimmed short hair that was slightly blown by the wind. The deep eyes and eyebrows behind the gold-rimmed glasses were stunning at first glance.
This man is so handsome, and he drives such a nice car. He's rich and good-looking, he's simply a rare find!
Two girls who had just come out of the bubble tea shop happened to see this scene, and for a moment they couldn't take their eyes off it.
They instinctively stopped and stood by the roadside, staring longingly at the black luxury car across the street.
The car slowly stopped at the entrance of a narrow alley not far away, and a pair of long legs encased in straight black suit trousers stretched out from the car and stepped onto the ground.
The shiny leather shoes gleamed faintly under the light, clearly indicating their high value.
"This guy is absolutely gorgeous!"
The two girls were both amazed, their eyes instantly glued to the man, unable to look away.
At this moment, the man had already stood firmly beside the car, his posture upright and exceptionally handsome.
Just as the two girls were debating whether to go up and ask for his contact information, the man had already walked to the passenger side of the car, and very gentlemanly and considerately opened the door, as if he were getting out of the car with someone else.
The two of them immediately widened their eyes, and then they saw the extremely handsome man helping a young woman out of the car.
The woman had delicate and beautiful features, and her jet-black hair was casually tied back, with only a few strands falling loosely on her fair and delicate face. Her dark hair and snow-white skin were very pleasing to the eye.
Perhaps sensing their gaze, the woman turned her head, glanced in their direction, and gave them a gentle and bright smile.
That smile was so pure and innocent, and paired with those delicate features, it was even more dazzling and captivating than the sunlight.
The two walked out of the car hand in hand, which was quite a sight to behold; they were such a handsome couple.
In this situation, the two of them simultaneously took out their phones and started snapping photos like they were facing their idols.
I had just snapped a few photos when the eye-catching couple walked into the narrow alley across the street.
"Why did they go there? That place is considered very unlucky. Should we go and warn them?"
The short-haired girl frowned slightly, looking worried.
"What's wrong?" another girl with a ponytail asked.
“A murder occurred in that area a year ago, and almost everyone in the neighborhood has moved away.”
"What murder case?"
The girl with the ponytail had just asked the question when someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder.
She was startled and turned around to see a strong man in a black suit and sunglasses standing behind them.
"What...what are you doing?"
The two girls were so frightened that their faces immediately changed color.
"Can I see the photos you just took?"
The man spoke with a smile.
Gu Baiwei and Shen Yanqing stood side by side in front of Qi Yu's old two-story building. It was extremely quiet around them; there wasn't a soul in sight.
She vaguely remembered being here before, and the surroundings shouldn't be this quiet.
"A murder occurred, and everyone in the neighborhood moved away."
Shen Yanqing told her that the black-clad bodyguard behind her immediately stepped forward and respectfully opened the door.
The house was still furnished as before, but it was covered with a thick layer of dust, as if no one had lived there for a long time.
Gu Baiwei stood at the doorway, looked around, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "I think I've been here before."
Song Anze suggested that he could try taking her to some familiar places, which might help her recover her memory.
Gu worms can alter a person's memory, but not absolutely.
Shen Yanqing held her hand in his palm and led her upstairs.
When Gu Baiwei walked to the closest room, she felt a strong sense of fear welling up inside her for no apparent reason.
The room made her feel very uneasy, and she didn't want to go in.
She stood still, her already pale face now almost transparent with whiteness.
Her hand, which was clasped with Shen Yanqing's, trembled slightly. She looked up at Shen Yanqing, her voice filled with unease: "Where is this? I feel very uncomfortable."
The thought that she had been locked in this dark room by that madman and had even witnessed him kill someone, though she had forgotten it now, probably still evoked a subconscious fear.
Shen Yanqing didn't know whether to feel sorry for him or relieved.
He felt sorry for her because he hadn't protected her properly, but he was also relieved that she still remembered this place, which meant that her memory hadn't completely disappeared.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Shen Yanqing reached out and hugged her, then lowered his head to kiss the top of her head before letting her go: "If you're scared, just wait for me at the door."
Looking at the open door, Gu Baiwei felt a little uneasy and subconsciously took a step back: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
"Following Miss Gu closely, never leaving her side."
Shen Yanqing gave a stern order to the bodyguards following behind him.
After saying that, he led the remaining bodyguard into the room.
The room was still furnished the same as it was a year ago, and faint traces of red blood could still be seen on the floor.
He walked over, opened the door to the secret room as if he knew it well, and went inside.
These past two days, he's been constantly wondering what Qi Yu really wants to do.
If he just wanted to kill Gu Baiwei, he wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths.
He had inquired with the people in the fishing village and learned that Qi Yu and Weiwei had lived there as brother and sister for a year, and that Qi Yu had been very good to Weiwei.
The two lived a simple and happy life, like close family.
Therefore, Qi Yu's intention was not to kill Weiwei, but rather to have another purpose. But what exactly is it?
Shen Yanqing walked around the dark room. The things inside were very simple, almost the same as the bedroom.
A single bed, a small bedside table with a lamp on it, a chair, and a table—it's so simple that there's nothing superfluous.
He opened the bedside table drawer and had the bodyguard lift up the single bed to look inside, but still found nothing. Could it be that he was wrong, and Qi Yu hadn't left anything here at all?
But he's lived here for so long, there's no way he didn't leave any clues, right?
