There was a hint of sarcasm on Wen Shouyi's lips that looked like a smile but not a smile.
In the garden in front of the house downstairs, Qin Zhining carefully held the bottle and followed the stretcher cart around the fountain at the door to the mansion.
Wen Shouyi bit her lip, took out her cell phone and called.
Qin Zhining heard her cell phone ringing, but out of consideration for Gu Nianzhi, she didn't answer it and followed her into the mansion with the bottle in hand.
Wen Shouyi saw that Qin Zhining didn't even answer the phone after he had called her for a long time, and felt a little bit dumbfounded. He thought, was Gu Nianzhi trying to give her a blow
Slowly put away the phone, clasped his hands together, leaned his head on the floor-to-ceiling window, and kept watching what was going on downstairs.
He Chengjian then got out of the car under the escort of the orderly and entered the door of his home.
Wen Shouyi, who was watching from the second floor, said, "Aunt Qin, General He is back."
"Brother He is back?" A smile suddenly appeared on Qin Yaoguang's face, which was as beautiful as a rose under the moonlight.
She stood up from the sofa.
Taking Wen Shouyi down to the second floor quickly, he happened to see He Chengjian standing in the living room, ordering the medical staff to send the stretcher to the room on the third floor.
"Admiral He, you are back." Wen Shouyi held Aunt Qin's arm and walked with her to He Chengjian.
He Chengjian saw the two of them and nodded, "Yao Guang, Shou Yi, are you still awake?"
I looked at my watch and saw that it was already midnight.
"It's not like you don't know, General He, that Aunt Qin will never sleep until you come back." Wen Shouyi made a face.
Aunt Qin said softly: "Four operations were just performed today. The four guards of your escort team have already undergone memory erasure operations. They will be fine after two weeks of rest."
He Chengjian laughed, the lines at the corners of his eyes getting deeper, and he said gently: "I can rest assured that you are doing the work."
After pausing for a while, he looked at the family doctors who were carrying a stretcher up the stairs and said, "Yao Guang, Nian Zhi is back."
Aunt Qin's name is Yaoguang. Only He Chengjian calls her that. Everyone else here calls her Aunt Qin for many years.
Aunt Qin's eyes were only on He Chengjian, and she didn't care. "You've worked hard, go to bed early."
"You too." He Chengjian looked at her, thinking about what Qin Zhining said, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. He walked towards the corner staircase, "Yao Guang, come to my study. I have something to discuss with you."
His suite is on the second floor, and Qin Yaoguang's suite is also on the second floor.
He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi's rooms were both on the third floor.
Although Qin Yaoguang and He Chengjian do not live together, their suites are closely connected.
Others are generally not allowed to enter He Chengjian's study.
In the past, apart from his first wife, only He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi could come and go as they pleased.
Later, Gu Nianzhi disappeared, and He Zhichu also left, and no one else could enter or leave his study.
After Qin Yaoguang married He Chengjian, it was also the first time he stepped into his study.
There was a sense of joy and emotion in her heart that the dust had settled.
After so many years, she finally returned to Brother He's heart.
She didn't wait in vain.
Qin Yaoguang pushed open the door of He Chengjian's study and walked in slowly.
He Chengjian's study room is elegantly and neatly decorated, with a smattering of mahogany furniture. The east wall is covered with bookshelves, standing on different levels, with densely packed books on them.
The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were half-closed, and the moonlight shone like running water on a pot of night-flowers in front of the window.
Qin Yaoguang's eyes casually passed over the basin of night tea and looked at He Chengjian sitting behind the desk.
After all, He Chengjian is old. He has been busy with official duties these years and is not in good health. He looks a little haggard.
She said with concern: "Brother He, it's already very late. Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."
He Chengjian sat in the dark and stared at Qin Yaoguang.
From this perspective, she really looks like his first wife Qin Suwen.
Not the face, but the body shape. Of course, the two people have completely different personalities.
His first wife, Qin Suwen, was soft on the outside but strong on the inside, with a stubborn personality. She would never look back when she saw the right people and things, and he was no exception.
Stepwife Qin Yaoguang is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She is strict and principled in everything she does. She treats no one with pretense, except him.
He Chengjian made it very clear that he did not regard anyone as anyone's substitute.
And he felt guilty towards Qin Yaoguang.
"Well, you too, you don't have to wait for me in the future." He Chengjian stood up from behind the desk, walked to Qin Yaoguang, reached out and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.
His movements were naturally intimate without any barriers. Even though he was just stroking his hair, Qin Yaoguang was so happy that he almost fainted.
She took advantage of the situation and wanted to press her face against He Chengjian's hand.
However, He Chengjian quickly retracted his hand, put it in his trouser pocket, and said, "Yao Guang, Nian Zhi's situation is quite special. Do you think she can do without surgery?"
Qin Yaoguang's tenderness and affection were almost shattered to pieces by He Chengjian's words.
She never expected that He Chengjian allowed her to enter his study for the first time in so many years and even stroked her hair affectionately. It was because of Gu Nianzhi...
Qin Yaoguang clasped his hands in front of his chest, and his figure suddenly stiffened.
"Brother He, this matter is of great importance. You can't take such a risk just because Nian Zhi has a special status." Qin Yaoguang returned to a businesslike tone, "...it's not worth it."
He Chengjian put his hands behind his back and paced in the study, saying: "I am also in a dilemma. Ever since such a huge breakthrough in the development of science, it has been the top secret of the empire, and only a few people know about it. Anyone who has been to the other side, security Those whose level is not high enough will have to undergo targeted memory erasure surgery. This is the safest guarantee."
Using physical means to remove the hippocampus related to this memory is the most foolproof way to keep it secret.
Originally, only the dead could keep secrets, but in fact, besides being unable to speak in person, the dead could also leak secrets.
For example, a skilled forensic doctor can use all the traces revealed by the deceased to deduce many things that happened before his death.
So don’t think that only the dead can keep secrets.
But now, they have special technical means that do not require death and can truly keep secrets.
That is, just delete a memory related to them.
Qin Yaoguang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, this targeted memory deletion surgery was invented by my grandfather. Decades of clinical experimental data in our Qin Hospital prove that it is very mature and is just a foolproof minor surgery. It won’t have any impact on her life.”
He Chengjian took a deep look at her and said, "But Nian Zhi is different. When I first heard it, Nian Zhi's memory before she was twelve years old is gone. Now if you perform targeted memory deletion surgery on her, wouldn't it mean that she will not even be able to remember her anymore?" The memory of the last seven years is gone? Then what else does she have? Is she still a person?"
Qin Yaoguang didn't speak for a long time, and finally sneered, "... That person is not completely crazy. He actually knows how to delete her memory and send her there."
"You mean, Nian Zhi's memories before he was twelve years old were also deleted artificially?" He Chengjian was a little surprised, "How can you see that?"
"That's for sure. Otherwise, how could she forget all about it?" Qin Yaoguang was very confident in the surgical methods passed down from the Qin family's ancestors. "Shou Yi tested her over there, but she really didn't remember anything. "
"That's fine." He Chengjian sighed and shook his head, "At least nothing out of control has happened."
The dealings with that side are top secrets belonging to the upper echelons of the empire.
What happened to Gu Nianzhi seven years ago was a complete accident.
If it wasn't for his son this time, he wouldn't have gone there to bring Gu Nianzhi back in such a big way.
Qin Yaoguang knew He Chengjian's intention, so she persuaded her: "Don't you want her to marry Chu? Then delete her memory, and when Chu comes back, the two of them will cultivate their relationship again, and they will definitely love her. I gave up at first. When the time comes, just wait to have your grandson!"
These words obviously moved He Chengjian.
He clasped his hands behind his back, looked out the window, and said with emotion: "If she can stay together well over there, I won't force her to come back."
After a pause, his tone turned sinister, "But I will never allow her to marry another man at the beginning of her betrayal!"
"Brother He, please calm down. You were too kind in the beginning and doted on Nianzhi too much." When Qin Yaoguang said this, the outline of her jaw was a little hard, showing that she was a very determined person who would never waver. people.
"Yes! Not only doting on her, she is absolutely devoted to her!" He Chengjian shouted angrily, "How dare you lie to me! I always thought that Nian Zhi was with him over there!"
It wasn't until he saw the video sent back from there and saw the grand engagement ceremony between Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng in Russia's Red Square that He Chengjian realized that his son had lost Gu Nianzhi a long time ago.
He was not with Gu Nianzhi and refused to come back. He was still waiting there eagerly, which made He Chengjian very dissatisfied.
How could his son be such a coward? !
"He's not willing to do it, so I'm the only one who can do it for him!" He Chengjian put his hands on his back, with a cold look in his eyes, "Okay, when Nian Zhi wakes up, prepare to perform the surgery on her.
"Okay, Brother He." Qin Yaoguang said softly, taking a step forward, "It's late, Brother He..."
She reached out her hand and wanted to take He Chengjian's arm.
But He Chengjian took a step aside and said without looking back: "You should go back and rest first. I still have business to deal with."
Qin Yaoguang put his outstretched hand in the air.
She chatted for a while, then slowly retracted her hand, clenched it tightly into a fist, turned around and walked out of He Chengjian's study, gently closing the door.
Wen Shouyi was waiting for her at the door.
When he saw her coming out, he smiled and said, "Aunt Qin, you really made it possible for the clouds to clear and the moon to shine brightly."
Qin Yaoguang smiled and patted Wen Shouyi's round face, "Just your sweet mouth, that's it. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest."
"I'll wait for you to sleep before I go to bed." Wen Shouyi held Qin Yaoguang's arm and went back to the room with her, working diligently to put her to sleep.
Qin Yaoguang took a sip of light salt water and whispered, "Brother He agreed to perform surgery on Nian Zhi."
Wen Shouyi pursed her lips, covered Qin Yaoguang with a quilt, and said reluctantly: "Do we have to do it? Then she doesn't remember anything? She has to follow brother Achu all day long like a follower again."
She sat beside Qin Yaoguang's bed, her eyes lowered, but her thoughts were spinning rapidly in her heart.
She didn't want Gu Nianzhi to undergo this kind of surgery, not at all.
