Zheng Huai watched as the hypnotist approached Meng Yu, and curiously asked, “How did you manage to drug him so easily? Based on my understanding of Meng Yu, he wouldn’t be so unsuspecting.”
Shen Xi sighed softly, wearing an expression of surprise, and said, “I simply told him that Li Zhe wanted him to stay here and not cause trouble for him. Unexpectedly, he obediently complied and didn’t leave.”
Zheng Huai was slightly taken aback, but considering Li Zhe’s protection of Meng Yu over the past ten years and Meng Yu’s reliance on and trust in Li Zhe, he could understand.
After the hypnotist finished hypnotizing Meng Yu, he awkwardly approached Shen Xi and said, “I’ve successfully hypnotized him, and as per your request, I also erased his memory of you drugging him.”
Shen Xi nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Zheng Huai and said, “Make sure to erase the memories of today from this hypnotist. I don’t trust him.”
The hypnotist immediately took two steps back. As a hypnotist, being hypnotized by someone would be a blow to his reputation if word got out. He panicked and said, “Miss Shen, please don’t.”
“Why not? If you dare to accept Li Zhe’s job to hypnotize me, shouldn’t I have the right to retaliate? You better behave now, or things might turn ugly later. Right now, I’m only erasing your memory of today. If you don’t obey, I can’t guarantee how much of your memory will remain,” Shen Xi warned sternly.
The hypnotist looked anxiously at the approaching Zheng Huai and then back at Shen Xi. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “Can we keep this matter confidential? Otherwise, my reputation will be ruined.”
Shen Xi did not actually want to retaliate against the hypnotist. She had already attributed this issue to Li Zhe. She just did not trust the hypnotist, fearing that he might inform Li Zhe of their location and Meng Yu being hypnotized.
“Fine! I won’t tell,” Shen Xi agreed.
The hypnotist could only gamble on Shen Xi’s conscience. Disoriented, he was thrown into the shopping mall by Shen Luan, and happily went to buy bubble tea for his daughter. All he remembered was that he came out today to buy bubble tea for his daughter.
Having hypnotized the hypnotist, Zheng Huai approached the still unconscious Meng Yu lying on the bed. However, when he saw the bruise on Meng Yu’s neck, he was momentarily stunned.
As if realizing something, Zheng Huai anxiously pulled open Meng Yu’s collar, revealing the ambiguous mark on his chest in front of him and Shen Xi.
Recalling the last time he saw Meng Yu in this state, it was when Meng Yu was violated by those kidnappers ten years ago.
Zheng Huai was flabbergasted. The love bite was obviously recent, and the colors indicated that it happened within the past two days. However, Meng Yu had been on the isolated island all this time, with no one but Li Zhe.
Reluctant to believe it, Zheng Huai turned to Shen Xi and asked, “Xi, besides Li
Zhe and Meng Yu, are there other people on the isolated island?”
Shen Xi’s expression changed as she noticed the bruise on Meng Yu’s body.
She truthfully replied, “There shouldn’t be. Shen Luan and Lu Fei have been lurking near the isolated island these past few days. Besides the two groups of people who attacked Meng Yu this morning, only Meng Yu and Li Zhe have been on the island.”
“So, it’s highly probable that these marks were left by Li Zhe?” Zheng Huai said with a deep voice, then angrily cursed, “Beast! He knows very well that Ah Yu can’t handle such stimulation, yet he dared to do this to him!”
Shen Xi sensed that something was amiss and looked at Zheng Huai questioningly, “Brother, why are you so worked up? If Li Zhe and Meng Yu are a couple, it shouldn’t be a big problem if they love each other, right? Why do you seem so opposed to it?”
“Nonsense! What couple? Li Zhe is a playboy who has been involved with numerous men and women. Besides, he is well aware of what happened ten years ago. What if Ah Yu has a breakdown due to the stimulation? That’s why I suspected Li Zhes involvement when I saw signs of Ah Yu’s memory recovery. I knew he wouldn’t let Ah Yu off the hook,” Zheng Huai said, getting more furious as he spoke.
Shen Xi’s eyes darkened subtly as she observed the bruises on Meng Yu’s body. She asked, “What happened ten years ago? What did you make Meng Yu forget?”
“It’s…” Zheng Huai started to speak but abruptly swallowed his words and turned to Shen Xi, concealing his true thoughts, “Nothing. Nothing happened..”
