The suburban villa was halfway up a mountain, and it was very cold at night. Jiang Xia was wearing thin clothes, and her white suspender skirt exposed her slender arms and legs, which made her skin crawl.
She shivered and finally fastened the horn buttons of Shen Zhiluo's coat to prevent her from catching a cold.
…
Early the next morning, a black car drove to the door of the village chief's house again.
Chang'an and Xing Lei got out of the car and knocked on the door. Xu Yan was preparing breakfast. The village chief was smoking a cigarette at the door and squinted to see two figures in front of him.
It seems that he is also a person of status.
The village chief immediately became vigilant and heard Chang An politely ask: "Old man, have you seen a stranger come to the village recently?"
Chang'an covered his testing eyes and stared closely at the village chief's expression. He remembered that his subordinates told him that Zhiluo was being taken care of by this family.
The village chief nodded suddenly: "You are looking for that little girl."
Hearing this, Chang An and Xing Lei's hearts tightened instantly, and they both looked at each other, seeing hope in their eyes!
Changan couldn't wait: "Where is she?"
"You guys are late." The village chief sighed and pointed in the direction. On the other side were the mountains. "The little girl left yesterday and went over there."
At this time, Xu Yan heard the noise and came to the door. She asked with alert eyes: "Old man, who are they?"
"I'm here to find that little girl."
"Didn't she leave long ago?" Xu Yan muttered: "If you had come a day earlier, you would still have met her."
This statement was exactly the same as that of the village chief. Chang An and Xing Lei looked at each other, nodded politely, and said regretfully: "Thank you, then we won't bother you anymore."
He and Xing Lei left in a hurry, and the car whizzed past and drove towards the other end.
Finally sent away, Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and then noticed that her back was soaked.
I don’t know what the little fool’s background is, but the people who came to see her these two times seemed to be either rich or noble.
After receiving the news from Village Chief Lu, Chang An and Xing Lei did not suspect anything. After leaving, they drove for a long distance without finding Shen Zhiluo.
Finally, he instructed his subordinates to search in the direction pointed by Village Chief Lu.
However, one day passed, two days passed... four whole days passed, and no news was received.
If the news from Village Chief Lu is true and Zhiluo is still alive, there is no way he can’t be found!
Today is already the morning of the fifth day. Chang'an stayed in front of Su Nanjin's hospital bed all night long, with black eyes, fearing that something might happen to him.
Xing Lei answered a call outside and came back, regretting to Chang'an again: "Doctor Chang'an, there is no news about Miss Shen."
No news at all.
Chang'an suddenly turned his head and retorted subconsciously: "It's been so many days since Zhiluo fell into the river. It's impossible for Zhiluo to be alone in the village without finding any news!"
People in the village are naturally wary of every stranger coming from the outside.
Unless Zhiluo had passed away, how could she not be found?
But even if you die, there should be a body...
Chang An frowned, a flash of light flashed, and he realized: "Shen Liangqiu must have taken Zhiluo away first, and then released these false news to delay time!"
Only in this way could they fail to find Zhiluo and be fooled around by Shen Liangqiu!
…
During the four or five days of searching for Shen Zhiluo in Chang'an, Jiang Xia had already taken Shen Zhiluo abroad.
Two days later, Shen Liangqiu also went abroad on a business trip and came to a private hospital.
The privacy here is good, and it is not easy for Shen Zhiluo to be found by Su Nanjin's people if he stays here.
The ward was quiet, Shen Zhiluo was reading a children's picture book, and Jiang Xia was teaching her how to read, very patiently.
She is just a blank piece of paper now. Shen Zhiluo will become whatever Shen Liangqiu wants her to look like.
Shen Zhiluo was very serious when she read the words, but when she saw a familiar figure appearing in the ward, her eyes suddenly lit up, she threw the book down and called out: "Brother!"
The sun was shining brightly, refracting through the window and illuminating Shen Zhiluo's side face. Even the fine hairs on her smooth face were clearly visible, giving it a faint golden light.
Shen Liangqiu stretched out her hand and hid the broken hair on her forehead that was blocking her vision. As a gust of wind blew by the window, she closed her eyes comfortably, not resisting Shen Liangqiu's movements at all.
The two of them looked intimate. Jiang Xia picked up the book Shen Zhiluo had dropped and stood up, feeling a little astringent.
"How have you been these two days, Zhiluo?" Shen Liangqiu lowered his eyes and stared at Shen Zhiluo.
Jiang Xia whispered: "Very good."
Her heart seemed to be squeezed tightly, making it difficult to breathe and her blood flow was slow.
Shen Liangqiu smiled and said nothing. He was enjoying the time he was spending with Shen Zhiluo.
So much so that from beginning to end, I forgot to ask Jiang Xia a greeting, not even a look.
At this time, Shen Zhiluo's attending doctor followed Chi Qing. He was blond, blue-eyed, with deep eyebrows, an orange complexion, and was slightly fat. His white coat covered his stomach and he wore a pair of black glasses.
As soon as he spoke, it was in fluent Chinese: "Hello, are you Miss Shen's brother?"
This is one of the most famous brain experts in the world, Dr. Tang, who is half Chinese. It is not surprising that he can speak Chinese.
Dr. Tang's eyes flashed with surprise, probably because he thought this family had good genes. Although they didn't look alike, they were handsome.
Shen Liangqiu smiled: "I am."
"Then Mr. Shen, I need to explain to you that according to the medical history you provided, this Miss Shen had lost her memory before. This time she lost her memory for the second time due to head damage. The situation is more complicated. Moreover, Miss Shen was hit in the head. Bullets and shrapnel can easily cause sequelae if they compress nerves. Her safety must be monitored anytime and anywhere..."
Shen Zhiluo has the nature of a child now, and if he doesn't have enough care, he may encounter something unexpected.
Hearing this, Shen Liangqiu's eyes darkened a bit.
Doctor Tang then explained a lot. Shen Liangqiu's eyes were focused, as if he was holding some important meeting.
Shen Zhiluo had already explained all this to Jiang Xia before she finished all the examinations. She looked at Shen Liangqiu in a daze, with a sense of sourness filling the air.
When Dr. Tang left, Jiang Xia didn't come back to her senses for a long time, until Shen Liangqiu suddenly appeared in her eyes, frowning, and called her for the first time: "Jiang Xia?"
"Huh?" Jiang Xia regained her clarity and asked subconsciously.
Shen Liangqiu frowned: "I just asked Doctor Tang whether Zhiluo can go back to the apartment."
He bought an apartment in the best-secured community nearby. The apartment was very large, and he bought a lot of children's toys and picture books in it for Shen Zhiluo.
"Zhiluo is better in the apartment than in the hospital."
"Okay." Jiang Xia responded.
Shen Liangqiu took one of Shen Zhiluo's hands and bent down slightly until he was eye level with Shen Zhiluo. Shen Zhiluo stared at him doubtfully, and Shen Liangqiu curled her lips: "Zhiluo, let's go home."
"Go home?" Shen Zhiluo muttered these two words in a low voice, then nodded heavily and smiled brightly, as clear and moving as a silver bell.
