In a villa in the capital city, a woman wearing a red silk robe was sitting at the bar, drinking red wine with a cold expression.
Suddenly, the red phone on the sofa rang.
She walked over and picked up the phone. Her voice was light and cold as she said, “Speak!”
“Miss, the mission has failed!”
“Useless! How can the four of you fail? The target is just a weak woman!”
“Miss, that Xiao Lingyu is really strange!” The subordinate reported, “She… She’s extremely fast. The moment we entered, she hit the four of us with a hot water bottle. One of us fainted on the spot, and another burned his back. She didn’t give us any time to react. Now that the police have been alerted, young master Jiang is personally investigating this matter. Young miss, what should we do now?”
When the woman heard this, her eyes immediately flared with anger as she shouted sternly, “Useless! You can’t even deal with a country woman. You’ve failed again and again!”
The other side was silent, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Not only did they fail their mission, but they also alerted the police. Young Master Jiang’s intervention caused a lot of trouble for them.
The woman asked angrily, “Where is she?”
“She was sent back to Taoyuan Village by Li Yuanhang!” The subordinate said.
The woman half-closed her eyes and was expressionless, but she seemed to be thinking about something.
“Has she returned to Taoyuan Village?” The woman muttered. Then, she ordered, “Change of plans. Get Weng Jingjing to return to the country!”
Then, the woman gave an order!
After hanging up, the woman raised her hand and looked at the red rope on her wrist. It seemed like she was talking to someone and also talking to herself.
She smiled and said, “Soon, you will meet!”
…
When Situ Xing heard Professor John say that Gong Tianhao had selective amnesia because of a dream, he was extremely curious.
“Boss, what dream did you have that made you choose to lose the memory of sister-in-law and your son?”
Gong Tianhao also frowned and shook his head in confusion. “I don’t know either.”
Situ Xing immediately looked at professor John and asked, “Professor John, what dream did boss have?”
Professor John said seriously, “His deepest memories were dug out from the hypnosis. Mr. Gong dreamt that his wife and children died.”
“What?” Situ Xing looked at Gong Tianhao and asked, “Boss, why would you have that dream?”
Gong Tianhao frowned. He felt this whole thing was crazy.Gong Tianhao said coldly, “I would never have such a dream!”
Situ Xing and Professor John, “…” How stubborn is this man? You’ve lost your memory, so naturally, you wouldn’t remember if you had this dream or not.
Situ Xing ignored his boss. He turned around and asked Professor John seriously, “Professor John, Boss lost his memory because of a dream. What can we do to help him regain his memory? We can’t just allow Boss to abandon his wife and son!”
Professor John furrowed his brows tightly. He also had great difficulties with this case. He said, “Among my patients, many lost their memory because they experienced a great shock and trauma in reality. It’s a self-defense mechanism.
“However, I’ve never encountered a case where the trauma comes from a dream. This is too unusual. I don’t know how to help Mr. Gong temporarily. I need to study this carefully.
“But…” professor John thought for a while and said, “If possible, I want to involve his wife and child in the hypnosis. We’ll have them by his side during the sessions. It might work.”
Gong Tianhao, “…”
Situ Xing, “…”
Gong Tianhao didn’t even want to hear the mention of his wife and kid, much less have them in the same room…
Just as Gong Tianhao was about to refuse, Situ Xing immediately smiled and said, “Okay, Professor John. When do you think you’ll have time again? We’ll bring them with us.”
Gong Tianhao’s face instantly darkened. ‘How dare Situ Xing make the decision for me? It looks like a trip to Africa might be good for him.’
Professor John thought for a moment and said, “My work schedule is already full. I’ll inform you when I have time!”
“Alright, Professor John.” Situ Xing immediately made up his mind.
Gong Tianhao, “…”
After Professor John Left, Gong Tianhao smiled darkly and said, “Situ Xing, are you so powerful that you can make decisions for me now?”
Situ Xing immediately smiled embarrassedly and said, “Boss, when did that happen?” But Gong Tianhao didn’t seem to want to let this go. So, Situ Xing immediately said with a serious expression, “Boss, I received a call from Li Yuanhang. He said that sister-in-law… Xiao Lingyu was kidnapped and assassinated at our Crystal Palace Hotel. A person died on the spot!”
Gong Tianhao’s expression immediately changed as he asked, “Who died?” His hands subconsciously clenched into fists as if he was very nervous.
Perhaps Gong Tianhao did not notice it himself, but Situ Xing noticed it from the corner of his eyes. A bright light flashed in his eyes, and he could not help but sigh in his heart.
Even if he had amnesia, his instinct showed that he still cared about Xiao Lingyu. Situ Xing deliberately did not mention who died just now because he wanted to check Gong Tianhao’s reaction.
As expected!
Situ Xing said, “There were five criminals who went to kidnap Xiao Lingyu, four men and a woman. According to Li Yuanhang, Xiao Lingyu injured four people on the spot using a hot water bottle. However, the other party had a gun, so she was cornered. Thankfully, the hotel was alarmed in time. The criminals retreated. One of them was taken hostage. Probably afraid that he’d be a turncoat, he was shot dead by the female criminal!”
He asked indifferently, “Is Xiao Lingyu injured?”
Situ Xing shook his head and said, “No, she was just a little frightened.”
Situ Xing was also very confused.
If he remembered correctly, Xiao Lingyu was a weak woman. How could she fight with five criminals and cause one death?
According to Li Yuanhang’s report, the other party was prepared. There were five people with two guns, but Xiao Lingyu was not hurt.
On the other hand, the criminals had one death and three injuries. They probably didn’t expect this. After all, Xiao Lingyu was just a weak woman, and they had her cornered.
The criminals came with a purpose. They controlled the whole floor without alerting the hotel or the customers. This showed that they were highly trained. Just in terms of physical strength, Xiao Lingyu was definitely not a match for them.
After Gong Tianhao heard Situ Xing’s words, he loosened his clenched fist.
Then, he asked with a stern expression, “Who is the person in charge of the Crystal Palace Hotel? How can they not realize that some criminals have entered the hotel and harmed the guests? What about the security? If they can’t even guarantee the safety of the guests, which guest would dare to stay in our hotel in the future? Our Hotel is the only seven-star hotel in Asia. The guests staying there are all extraordinary.
Situ Xing, “…” How would I know? I’m not involved in the hotel business.
Gong Tianhao glanced at Situ Xing and asked, “What about the identities of those kidnappers? Have you found that out?”
Situ Xing said, “Young Master Jiang is investigating!”
“Tao Zi?” Gong Tianhao frowned and looked puzzled. “Tao Zi is investigating this?!” Technically speaking, he didn’t need to be involved.
Situ Xing rolled his eyes and said, “Young master Jiang and Xiao Lingyu are good friends. Don’t worry, boss. Young master Jiang already has a fiancée. He won’t steal sister-in-law from you.” Situ Xing almost said that Jiang Tao liked Xiao Lingyu.
“…” Gong Tianhao gritted his teeth and said, “It seems that you really want to go to Africa!” However, when he heard this, he didn’t feel good.
“I’ll shut up now!” Situ Xing immediately zipped his mouth.
Gong Tianhao’s face was so dark that ink could drip out.
Then, he said coldly, “We will go back to China immediately!”
