However, Gu Chenye was extremely busy. From picking up the phone to hanging up, it didn't take more than two seconds: "He told you to stay at Yuting Garden properly."

In this situation, Shen Wanci couldn't stay there. Even if she had to stay, she had to first confirm if Bo Jingzhou was safe. Right now, the news was full of stories about his disappearance. Before she figured out if it was his plan or Ji Siyuan's plan, she couldn't possibly stay here peacefully.

Shen Wanci had changed her clothes and just stepped out when she ran into Nie Yu Cheng. Seeing the woman standing before him, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

After learning about Lu's accident, he immediately went to the apartment to find Shen Wanci. He knocked for half a day but got no response. He wanted to call, but he was afraid she hadn't seen the news yet and his phone call would only remind her that he was there looking for her at the apartment. Unable to find her there, Nie YuCheng decided to come to Yting Garden to try his luck.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Shen Wanci who was about to go out. She couldn't help but feel lucky; if she had been a step slower...

"You need to find Huo Tingdong," she admitted, "Bo Jinchou is now the head of Lu Corporation. If he's truly labeled as illegally raising funds, he'll be implicated too."

"You can't help, and going there won't do any good," Nie Yucheng didn't praise Shen Wanci blindly because he liked her, but instead spoke the truth: "If Ji Siyuan really took action against Jing Zhou, then it must be because his identity was exposed. Judging by his style from childhood to adulthood, he wouldn't let Jing Zhou have a good time. He knows what Jing Zhou cares about most, so he would definitely strike at his weakness and won't let you off. You are not safer than Jing Zhou right now."

"..."

To show him, treat her like a dog in front of Joe, that kind of thing, that deviant Qisiyuan is definitely capable of doing.

"Late Porcelain, you wait here at Yuting Courtyard. As for Jingzhou, Chen Ye and I will handle it. We'll definitely bring him back safe and sound."

To ease Shen Wanci's worries, he added, "Although he and I are rivals in love, we grew up together as brothers. I may not be a gentleman, but I would never be the kind of despicable person who would betray my brother for a woman."

"…"Shen Wanci fell silent for a moment before nodding affirmatively. "You make sense."

Nie Yu Cheng thought he had persuaded her, just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Shen Wan Ci continue, "I'll go and change my appearance, guaranteeing that even if he sees me face-to-face, he won't recognize me."

Then, he dashed back to the villa in a flurry.

Nie Yucheng looked at her back, helplessly pressed his brow, it seemed Shen Wanci was determined to go out.

Two hours later.

Shen Wanci came down from the floor. Her original black hair was dyed a milk tea color, her fluffy curls turned into a non-mainstream explosion head, her oval face became a pointed chin melon face, she wore heavy makeup, and even stuck on thick and dense false eyelashes, her lips also looked thicker.

Nie Yu Cheng : “...”

Not only could Ji Siyuan not recognize him, but I bet even his own mother wouldn't.

This was Shen Wanci's first time applying this kind of makeup, she was a little nervous. After all, what she saw in the mirror was still different from what her eyes could see. "How is it? Do you not recognize me?"

She originally wanted to paint her face like a big cake, but she didn't have anything. These things require the help of auxiliary materials, which simple makeup can't do.

... "Mmm."

"Then I'll be going, and remember to close the door when you leave."

"I also have something to do and happen to be going to find Huo Tingdong. Let's go together." He didn't trust her to go alone.

Shen Wanci didn't refuse. Now wasn't the time to be emotional. In this kind of situation, Nie Yucheng was definitely more capable than her. With his help, it would be better than her running around like a headless fly: "Thank you."

"If you really want to apologize, it should be Jing Zhou who speaks up. Though I know you and him..." Nie Yu Cheng paused, then said bitterly after a long silence: "But I still don't want to hear the word 'sorry' from your mouth."

Shen Wanci: "Yu Cheng, you should go on more blind dates. Aunt said you don't even interact with other girls. How would you know if you wouldn't fall for someone else? You might just meet someone who catches your eye one day."

"You're truly heartless, Nie Yucheng sighed helplessly, "Not giving me even a sliver of a chance to misunderstand you. You pick at my wounds, salt them mercilessly, as if afraid I wouldn't give up on you."

"Sorry."

……

When news broke of Lu's illegal fund-raising, Ji Siyuan was with Bo Jingzhou. He watched the scene on television where the entrance to Lu Shi was swarmed by people. He didn't act as expected, going crazy or furious. "Brother," he said, "let's escape. With Lu Shi gone, Dad will definitely kill you. Even if he doesn't, with illegal fund-raising of hundreds of billions, if caught, the only path left for you is prison."

Bao Jingzhou frowned: "Did you do this?"

The Lu family absolutely cannot be left behind. He won't give that person a chance to rise again, even if he can't completely eliminate him, he must remove most of his presence in Kyoto. But he didn't want to use this way of mutual destruction.

Ji Siyuan: "I know you don't like the Lu family, so I got rid of them for you. You should be happy now, right?"

Bo Jingzhou: "Glad you sent me in here?"

“Brother, you misunderstood. How could I do that?” He took out a prepared identity card from his pocket: “I've made all the arrangements, look, even the ID is ready. It’s not fake, it’s someone else’s identity. It won’t affect you using it, just like your Lu Yanchi identity. You used it for so long, wasn’t it indistinguishable from the real thing?”

"What do you mean? What do you mean by being on par with Lu Yanchi's status?" Bo Jingzhou feigned ignorance, unsure if Ji Siyuan was trying to deceive him.

The young man's smiling face instantly fell. He got up and walked a few steps to Bo Jingzhou's face: "You've remembered it for a long time, haven't you? Or maybe, you've never forgotten that you are Bo, Jing, Zhou."

He uttered each word carefully.

It was like opening Pandora's Box, completely shattering the facade of false camaraderie.

Bo Jingzhou remained silent, which could be taken as acquiescence to his statement. At this point, there was no need to continue concealing the truth any longer.

"Do you remember it now, or have you never forgotten?"

"Never forgotten."

Actually, for a while I was in a daze. In that desperate situation where there was no escape and the world was dark, I not only had to endure physical pain but also psychological torture. Anyone would have thoughts of running away.

He is a human, not a god.

He knew that as long as he followed the sound and forgot everything about the past, he could escape from this desperate situation.

He didn't know at the time that Ji Siyuan was the mastermind, so he didn't know why the other party went to such lengths to hypnotize him. But he knew that if he really forgot Wanwan, his wife who he had worked so hard to get back would be gone.

(Edit, I've been stuck thinking about the plot lately, so the updates are a bit rough. Babes, I'll try my best to guarantee three updates, but if it gets too tough I can only manage two...)
