Outside the bar, there was loud music, but inside the private room, there was a melancholy that was so depressing that one could not breathe. And the source of it all was An Yichen, who was sitting aside and drinking heavily.
"Brother, I came to drink with you. I have something to discuss with you, okay?" Yan Ke looked at him helplessly.
"What's the matter?" An Yichen reopened a bottle of strong whiskey, filled the glass, and drank it in one gulp.
"I heard that Mu Jing is here. Xiaoya is going back to China with him." Yan Ke looked at An Yichen curiously.
"Um."
"What are you going to do?"
"I want to leave." An Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly. "It's not that easy."
"The flight is at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. If you want to stop her, she'd better drink less alcohol tonight." Xie Li said lightly from the side.
"How do you know?" An Yichen frowned.
"The boss asked us to pass on the news to you." Otherwise, he would not care about An Yichen's life or death. "If you want to stop it, we will help you. But you must bear the blame."
"I don't need your help." An Yichen coldly refused.
"It seems you don't understand Mu Jing." Xie Li didn't mind his sarcastic remarks. "Mu Jing's skills are not inferior to yours. Besides, there will be three professional bodyguards to protect them tomorrow. With your own strength, not enough."
"Qiancheng is my territory." An Yichen said coldly.
Yan Ke rubbed his head and patted An Yichen on the shoulder. "Actually, this is called cooperation. If Xiaoya stays, our boss will also stay. Otherwise, our SR will just transfer its power to Qiancheng. Then We have to turn back. We come and go. By then, there will be no landing point for us anywhere."
"Well. If we are attacked during the transfer, the losses will be serious." Xie Li agreed lightly.
"What are you going to do?"
"Just call us when you go to rob Ye Xinya. We will treat it as if you called us to help rob someone. Otherwise, if you offend our boss, we will be very sad in the future." Yan Ke sighed softly. One breath.
"Yan Ke, Xiaoya and I...what happened before?" An Yichen frowned. "Why does she hate me so much."
"Xie Li should know about this." Yan Ke looked at Xie Li, who was drinking quietly at the side.
"A year ago, the boss asked me to check." Xie Li narrated calmly. "To put it simply, it was six years ago. The An family was besieged by the Gu family. Your father led the whole family to take refuge abroad. But you You stayed. In order to help you tide over the difficulties, Miss Ye did not hesitate to trade her body in exchange for the support of a gang boss."
"What?" An Yichen was shocked.
"At that time, you were very angry and pulled Miss Ye back and took her. The next day, you drove her out of Anjia. It was raining heavily outside. She fainted in the rain and was rescued by a trafficker. She was rescued with fifty He was sold to the underground slave market for a price of 10,000 yuan. He was used as a prostitute."
"..." An Yichen forgot to drink.
"Your Xiao Yaning refused to obey. As a result, those people who were not willful tortured her wantonly. Later, when she was about to be raped by others, it was Mu Jing who rescued her." Xie Li took out a stack of books from his body. The photo was thrown to her. "This is the photo taken by those people at that time. I believe that after seeing it, you will even hate yourself."
An Yichen took the photo. The first photo made him feel so distressed that he couldn't say anything...
In the photo, Ye Xinya was tied to a stone pillar. Her almost naked body was covered with whip marks and her flesh was bloody. But she always raised her head proudly and never refused to admit defeat.
The second photo. In a closed room, four naked men surrounded her. Ye Xinya held a knife and put it on her neck. Her fair skin had been cut by the blade. It was scratched and blood flowed down the body.
An Yichen didn't have the courage to watch the third picture. Six years ago, she was only eighteen years old. She was still a child. He couldn't imagine how a thin and frail girl survived those inhuman days.
Facing those physical and mental tortures every day, how desperate and helpless she must be.
He should indeed be hated. It was his abandonment six years ago that caused all her pain. She loved him so much. But what about her? What had he done to her? All the harm she suffered was caused by him. . Why should he beg for her forgiveness?
"Now that she has not killed you with a single blow, she is considered kind enough." Xie Li said with a hint of mockery in his tone.
"Brother, think about how to make up for it." Yan Ke patted him on the shoulder.
"Yan Ke." An Yichen lowered his head and said quietly, "My memory... is it possible to recover?"
"Yes." Yan Ke answered firmly. "Two ways. First, let nature take its course. Your memory is not lost, but suppressed. As long as there is enough time, it will slowly recover."
"how long it takes."
"Ten years. Twenty years. Or more..."
"What about the second way?" He couldn't wait that long.
"The second is to constantly stimulate your brain and force you to think about other things. In the process, you will be in pain. And if the stimulation is excessive, it may cause more serious consequences."
"I want to recover my memory quickly." An Yichen raised his head blankly. "I want to remember Xiaoya. Remember everything that happened in our past."
It has been six years. He has forgotten her. But she has been suffering. This is so unfair to her.
"Don't rush to recover your memory. Let's think about how to prevent Mu Jing from taking Xiaoya away tomorrow."
"Take me with you by the way." Su Yu opened the door and walked in with a serious look on his face.
An Yichen glanced at Su Yu's thin body and frowned. "Why are you here?"
"Xiaoxuan told me." The makeup on his sweaty face was clearly visible. He rushed over right after the performance. "He said that Xinya will return to the United States with Mu Jing tomorrow. What are your plans? what to do."
"Boss, you must have lost your mind." Yan Ke looked at Su Yu with disdain. "What can you do with such a thin body?"
"I…"
"He can." An Yichen raised his head and sneered at the corner of his mouth. "Su Yu, tomorrow you dress up as you will perform on stage. Wear sunglasses. Warn Ye Xinya that if she dares to leave, you will take off your sunglasses in public. Take it down."
"..." The corner of Yan Ke's mouth twitched. This move... was a bit damaging.
"Threat." Su Yu blinked his innocent eyes. "I'm good at this."
Yan Ke looked at the two of them looking serious. A word suddenly popped into his mind: collusion.
"In case of a scuffle." An Yichen looked at Su Yu. "You hug Xiaoxuan and leave immediately. Don't worry about the rest."
"I understand. I can't find Xiaoxuan. Xinya will not leave with Mu Jing." Su Yu nodded solemnly.
"Can you two grown men think of some fair and upright methods?" Yan Ke really admired them. They could think of such a dirty trick.
"This method is useful for Xiaoya." An Yichen explained.
"Yeah. Otherwise, with Xinya's personality, even if we kneel down to beg her, she probably won't be moved." Su Yu agreed.
In the deep night, Ye Xinya slept restlessly. The past turned into nightmares one after another, tightly gripping her.
In the dream, she returned to the time when she was eighteen years old. She returned to that dirty past.
She dreamed that she was beaten all over by those inhumane people. She also dreamed that she threatened with death the group of men who tried to violate her. She also dreamed that she was forcibly drunk and wore shameful clothes. Standing on the stage, letting those wretched men greedily admire her.
She even dreamed that when she thought her life would end like this, it was Mu Jing who saved her and gave her all the care.
In the hospital, when she was told she was pregnant, it was also the time when she hated An Yichen the most. However, she was reluctant to abort the child. The doctor said her body was too weak and advised her to abort the child. But she stubbornly insisted. This child is left.
During her pregnancy, her weak body kept having fevers, but she couldn't take any medicine. There were even times when she almost lost her baby. However, during her most difficult time, it was Mu Jing who stayed by her side.
No matter how weak her body was, as long as she persisted, he never advised her to abort the child. In the past six years, he always gave her support and help. Whatever she wanted, he never asked. He only helped silently. She solves all the problems.
Mu Jing loves her. In the past six years, he has knelt on the ground and proposed to her more than once. But...
The name An Yichen always hovers in her mind. No matter how hard she tries to forget it, she can never do it. However, what she gets in exchange for her stubborn persistence is the misfortune of everyone around her. So... She can't be soft-hearted this time.
And if she doesn't go with Mu Jing this time, she will hurt Mu Jing again. This is what she least wants. So she specially called Mu Jing to force herself to have no way out.
Feeling the warmth on her forehead, Ye Xinya slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was Mu Jing's always gentle face.
"You have a nightmare." Mu Jing gently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a towel. "It's not yet dawn. Close your eyes and go to sleep."
"Aren't you going to rest?" Ye Xinya lay still. In the past six years, she woke up from her dreams many times. What she saw was always his gentle face.
"I have jet lag and can't sleep." Mu Jing chuckled. "An Yichen may not let us leave so easily tomorrow. Just be mentally prepared."
"There's nothing to miss here..."
Mu Jing smiled softly and stroked her hair with his slender hands. "Go to sleep."
Xinya. Is there really nothing to miss here? You kept calling An Yichen's name in your dream. Can you really let him go? But don't worry. As long as it's what you want to do, no matter what Right or wrong, I will help you complete it. Unless...you tell me personally. You don't want to leave.
