Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Shocking Truth Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Shocking Truth “President, if you really want to ask, why don’t you wait until you’re sober before you speak? You drank so much last night, your wife will think you’re raving drunk,”

Xu Guannan responded to the man in the same way.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the man in the pond scoff coldly.

“You think she would answer me if I asked her when I’m sober? Hehe, I, Sheng Siyuan, what do I have to compare with a man who gave his life for her?”

He spoke in an incredibly sarcastic tone from the pool.

Yin Hehe was stunned.

After a moment, she grasped the meaning behind his words, and instantly, all the color drained from her face.

She realized, the man was referring to Chu Yan.

Why would he mention that person?

Could it be, had he discovered something? Or, had Xiahou Xiu approached him on his own?

She panicked.

At this moment, all the rage and grievance that had vanished from the bottom of her heart were rapidly replaced by a bone-chilling panic and fear.

“But you should still give her a chance. Besides, Chu Yan is no longer with us. President, I don’t think there’s any need for you to compete with him anymore,”

Thankfully, Xu Guannan, as an observer, was more rational and advised the man.

The dead are gone; indeed, there’s no need to hold onto past grievances.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, he heard the man sitting in the pool closed his eyes and let out another cold sneer.

“You’re so naive. Since Xiahou Xiu took action against her, if it wasn’t Xiahou Yi’s idea, then why would he do it?”

“What?” Xu Guannan was taken aback.

Outside the pool, Yin Hehe felt as though something had struck her head heavily upon hearing this.

Even her breathing seemed to stop.

“Shen Fang has already sent me the test results of those drugs this morning. Besides destroying the hippocampus of the brain, there were no other issues.”

“The hippocampus? What does that mean?”

“It means…” The man suddenly stopped, and within the span of a single second, his gaze fixed on the frost in front of him.

“To destroy her memory step by step, until everything now in her brain is completely erased, like formatting a computer, and once it’s clean, to then upload other stuff!”

He enunciated each word deliberately.

Xu Guannan was stunned.

Outside the pool, Yin Hehe felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded right above her head.

Her mind went blank.

So, the fact that she couldn’t remember things was indeed a real problem.

And this problem was caused by the drugs Xiahou Xiu had developed for her.

Why?

Why would he do this? Why would he erase her memories? Didn’t he say that his brother had nothing to do with him?

Yin Hehe trembled all over.

“President, what you’re saying… gives me the creeps. Why would Xiahou Xiu want to erase Madam’s memory? Even if he wants to avenge his twin brother, there’s no need to erase her memory,”

At that moment, Xu Guannan also voiced this question from within.

Upon hearing this, the man in the pool simply retorted in the most straightforward and brutal manner, like a haunting spirit, “Who knows?”

“…”

Yin Hehe staggered away…

Who knows?

Yes, who knows what that person wants to do?

Yin Hehe hugged her own body, this place was supposed to be warm as spring, but at this moment, on her way back, it felt as though she had fallen into an ice cave, shivering with cold.

Yin Hehe returned to the hotel, dispirited and disoriented.

“Madam, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing her return in such a state, Auntie Ke was startled.

But Yin Hehe did not reply and drifted back to her room like a lost soul, stuffing her identification documents haphazardly into her bag before she walked out again.

“Madam, where are you going?” Auntie Ke sensed something was off and quickly grabbed her.

Yin Hehe stopped in her tracks.

“I’m going to find your young master. I just bumped into him, and he invited me to join him for some fun,”

she said woodenly, staring ahead like a robot.

Auntie Ke, hearing that she was actually going to have fun with Sheng Siyuan, was already overjoyed and didn’t pay much attention to anything else.

“Good, you guys have fun, and remember to enjoy yourselves,” Auntie Ke let go of her.

Yin Hehe walked out unsteadily.

Twenty minutes later, at the local airport, Yin Hehe handed over her identification.

“One ticket to Y City.”

“…”

—

Noon.

Sheng Siyuan finally returned with the three children.

He composed himself, and after the children knocked on the door, he deliberately stood at the doorway with a very calm demeanor.

“Young master, you’re back?”

The person who came to open the door was Auntie Ke.

He saw her, and a wave of disappointment washed over his dark eyes behind the glasses. He subconsciously glanced into the suite.

“Where’s madam? Hasn’t she gotten up yet?” he finally asked proactively.

But as soon as the words were out of his mouth, he saw the old servant’s face show a baffling expression.

“Didn’t madam go to find you?” she asked with full confusion.

Sheng Siyuan suddenly turned around, surprised.

“When did she go to find me?”

“Around ten in the morning. She first went out for a bit, then she returned to the hotel, grabbed her bag from the room, and went out again. I asked her, and she said she was going to find you,”

Auntie Ke recalled carefully before speaking.

Sheng Siyuan looked at her blankly for a while, and then suddenly, as if realizing something, he dashed towards Yin Hehe’s room.

Indeed, when he opened the drawer inside, he found that the woman’s identification and such were all gone.

“Yin Hehe!”

His mind went blank, and just for a moment, he even staggered a few steps.

Auntie Ke had also reached the doorway by this time, and seeing him so pale and shaken, she was startled.

“Young master, what’s… what’s wrong with you?”

“…”

Without an answer, all she got in response was the sight of the man rushing out of the room like he was out of his mind.

“Young master?”

“Xu Guannan, Yin Hehe is gone, you hurry up and check around this hotel, now!!”

As he ran out of the room, the voice he bellowed into the phone was almost quivering.

In about ten minutes, Xu Guannan had information.

“President, I’ve found out, three hours ago, the madam already left this place.”

“!!!!”

The man’s vision darkened, and he nearly collapsed on the spot.

Seeing this, Xu Guannan quickly supported him.

“President, are you alright?” His complexion changed, fearing that something might happen to the man.

Fortunately, he was just in terrible shape, with no other issues.

“She must have heard our conversation in the hot spring area.” He muttered, wishing he could slap himself.

Xu Guannan’s expression instantly revealed shock again!

“Then… where would she go?”

“To find Xiahou Xiu!” The man pronounced each word with bloodshot eyes and utmost clarity.

Soon after, a helicopter roared away from this place, its destination—Y City!
