Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 497 - Be Amnesiac

Although Shen Yan was not in a good mood after settling the things at home, he felt somewhat relieved in his mind. After all, Shen Mo didn’t need to live under the influence of being a murderer anymore.

But all sorts of feelings welled up in Shen Yan’s mind as his elder brother in his memory had been gone. His elder brother in front of him at this moment was strange to him. While he had to get used to this person because this person would be his elder brother in the future, and the one in his memory would always stay in his memory then.

After he breathed out a few sighs in a row, Shen Yan picked up the phone to call Xia Yu. “It’s me. Isn’t it time for you to go back to work?” Although the Secretary Department was not in a mess, it didn’t operate as well as before without Xia Yu.

Shen Yan really needed the help of Xia Yu.

“Why? Has your brother’s matter been settled?” Xia Yu asked.

“Almost. He can do the rest himself.” Having been threatened by the person who had killed his lover for so many years, he must want to vent his anger by himself, so Shen Yan would naturally leave this opportunity to Shen Mo.

“I…” When Xia Yu was about to say something to Shen Yan, the fixed-line telephone on her desk rang, so she had to say to Shen Yan, “Sorry, I’ll answer the phone first.”

“I’ll wait for you!” Before getting Xia Yu’s reply, Shen Yan would not hang up the telephone.

What a narrow-minded man! Then Xia Yu would just let him be. Xia Yu didn’t hang up the phone but picked up another one. “Hello?”

“Xia Yu, I am Wanru. Something happened. Something happened to Zhou Yan. He was attacked as soon as he got off the plane, and he is being rescued in the hospital now…” The voice in a sobbing tone of Wanru came from the phone.

“What did you say?” Xia Yu was so astounded that she immediately got up from the chair. “Okay, I know it. I’ll come to you right away.”

Shen Yan also heard it obviously, so he said to Xia Yu on another phone, “I’ll come to pick you up.”

Sitting in Shen Yan’s car, Xia Yu had a very heavy heart. It could be said that Xia Yu knew clearly who had attacked Zhou Yan. It must be Li Tianci who had attacked Zhou Yan because he was afraid that Zhou Yan’s teacher would really cure Aunt Jiang.

“Xia Yu, come on. Zhou Yan will be fine since he is a lucky fellow.” Shen Yan comforted her on the side.

They went to the hospital, and Zhou Yan had not woken up yet. Seeing them, Wanru stood up from the chair with red eyes. And Zhou Yan’s grandfather seemed to be older a lot with more white hair on his head.

Xia Yu comforted them and sat down on the side. After a short while, the doctor came to check. Xia Yu asked the doctor at once and was told that they didn’t need to be too worried as the blood stasis in his brain had dispersed, and he might wake up today.

Hearing the doctor’s words, all of these people got relieved at the same time. After they sat for another while, Zhou Yan woke up as expected. They were so happy and went to him.

“Who are you?”

The man on the sickbed was Zhou Yan who was real, while he was looking at everybody with extremely strange and vacant eyes.

There was a brief moment of silence in the ward as if everyone had slowed down the breath. Then Zhou Yi said in a trembling voice, “Zhou Yan, I’m your grandpa! You don’t even remember your grandpa?”

“Doctor, doctor…” Wanru called the doctor with a deathly pale face, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

The doctor and nurse came over quickly, and they did a brain examination on Zhou Yan again.

“The patient is recovering well, but he was hit hard on the head before. It might be the concussion that caused the memory loss.”

“Is there any chance of recovery?” Xia Yu asked the doctor in front of her anxiously.

“The drug therapy, the recurrence of scenes, and some psychological treatment can help the patient restore his memory. But don’t put too much pressure on the patient. Keep him calm and at peace.”

After hearing the doctor’s words, Xia Yu got a little relieved. As long as there was the possibility of recovery, she would help Zhou Yan restore his memory definitely.

Although Zhou Yan lost his memory, he hadn’t forgotten the living skills, and his character had not changed. While everyone in his eyes was a stranger now, so he was cold to all the people.

He was also at a loss. Sometimes, he asked Wanru and Xia Yu to tell him a lot of things about the past. He was more anxious than anyone else to restore his memory.

“I don’t remember. I don’t remember anything. I don’t remember anything you said.”

Zhou Yan showed a painful expression on the sickbed, covering his head with his hands and saying in a depressed tone.

Wanru held his hands and grasped them tightly, saying in a soft voice, “Take it easy. You will remember it, and I will help you!”

Wanru stayed with Zhou Yan for two days, and Xia Yu sent Cheng Xi to school. Hearing that Zhou Yan was sick, he also wanted to visit Uncle Zhou, and Xia Yu agreed.

Zhou Yi also came over with a heat preservation box in his hand soon after they got there. He looked at the person on the bed lovingly. “Zhou Yan, I cooked the soup myself. Drink some.”

Although Zhou Yan took the box over, he just thanked him politely, which made the old man feel bad in his mind.

“Mr. Zhou, he’ll be all right definitely.” Xia Yu comforted Zhou Yi on the side.

The old man sighed. “I’ve been helping people get treatment all my life. I can’t even remember how many people I’ve saved. While my grandson just came to this point.”

Xia Yu’s mind was weighed down after hearing his words. In the afternoon, two policemen arrived at the hospital.

“Mr. Zhou, do you know the person in this photo?” One of the policemen handed Zhou Yi a photo printed on A4 paper. The person in the photo was a little blurry, but Xia Yu recognized the woman in the photo at a glance. It was Zhou Jiamin. Xia Yu was sure that it must be Zhou Jiamin who planned the accident.

When Zhou Yan suspected Shen Mo before, Zhou Jiamin always misled him on the side. Zhou Yan was not very wary of her, so she knew all the time that Zhou Yan was investigating the matter of Ningjing.

This time Zhou Yan went to Nihon to ask his teacher to come over to treat Aunt Jiang. Zhou Jiamin and Li Tianci must be on the verge of panic, so they were desperate to kill Zhou Yan. The woman was so cruel.

“I seem to have seen her before, but I don’t know her name.” Zhou Yi told the policeman in front of him.

“Her name is Zhou Jiamin.” Xia Yu said on the side.

“You know her?” The policeman asked.

“She’s a celebrity, and now she’s the chief executive officer of Zeng Group.” Xia Yu continued to say.

“We checked the surveillance video in the area where Mr. Zhou had the accident and found that the woman’s car had been parked near the airport all the time. After Mr. Zhou appeared, he got into her car, and about ten minutes later, Mr. Zhou got out and then had an accident. We’ve finally identified her as a criminal suspect after the investigation. Miss Xia, please provide more information about the woman in the photo. The more, the better.”

Xia Yu’s heart thumped quickly, and she was lost in thought quickly. They had some evidence about Ningjing’s death, while she didn’t know how things were going on with Shen Mo. She didn’t know whether the enemy would be alerted and then hide in advance if she told the truth this time.

“I don’t know much about her. I’ve only met her twice at cocktail parties.”

It was so stressful for Xia Yu to lie to the police. But thinking about Zhou Yan and Ningjing who had been dead, she had to tell such a lie calmly.

“Does Mr. Zhou know her?” The policemen continued their inquiries as they took notes.

“Probably, he knows her, too.” It would have sounded lame if she had said that they didn’t know each other.

“Was there anything unpleasant between the woman named Zhou Jiamin and Mr. Zhou before?”

Xia Yu pretended to recollect, and she shook her head after thinking for a while, saying, “Though Zhou Yan is my friend, we don’t contact each other too often. Zhou Jiamin is just an incidental acquaintance to him at most, so there was nothing unpleasant between them before.” Xia Yu shook her head, looking at the policemen in front of her calmly.

“Okay, thank you for your cooperation, Miss Xia. Is Mr. Zhou awake now? We want to ask him specifically.”

“He is awake now, but he has lost his memory now out of the blow on his head. He doesn’t remember anything.” Xia Yu told the policemen about the situation of Zhou Yan.

After hearing what Xia Yu said, the two policemen looked surprised.

Then they found the attending doctor of Zhou Yan. Learning from the doctor that Zhou Yan really lost his memory, they had to give up the inquiry.

“You are all friends and relatives of Mr. Zhou, so if you think of anything, just call us.” One policeman said.

“Okay. Sorry to bother you.” Xia Yu said quickly.

After the policemen left, Xia Yu got lost in thought again, so she was somewhat absent-minded. Zhou Yan’s grandpa called her twice before she heard him.

“Xia Yu, you know something, right?” The old man was really perspicacious.

Xia Yu shook her head and did not answer him, but she looked at Zhou Yan who was on the sickbed. His face was not as pale as before, and he looked in good spirits. In addition to the memory he had lost, he was recovering slowly.

He also looked at Xia Yu still with strange eyes. While compared to those a few days ago, his eyes were no longer cold. This little change made Xia Yu so delighted.

Zhou Yan’s grandpa said something again then, while Xia Yu had no time to listen to him. She thought about Zhou Jiamin all the time, and she didn’t know whether she should tell Zhou Yan about that. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to tell him because that was also his memory.

Because they had hired a nursing worker, they didn’t need to take care of Zhou Yan all night long. After everyone left, Xia Yu asked the nursing worker to go out immediately, and then only she and Zhou Yan were left in the ward.

“Zhou Yan, there’s something I want to tell you…”

Xia Yu began with the matter of Ningjing and then went on to this disaster. She told him about the grudges between Shen Mo and him and the thing that Zhou Jiamin had been misleading him all the time. And she also told him that this accident might be planned by Zhou Jiamin and Li Tianci.

Zhou Yan had been listening to her quietly all the time with his brows furrowed. He kept silent still after Xia Yu finished her words, and Xia Yu knew that he was digesting her words. What he learned was too dark and cruel, and Xia Yu did not know whether he could accept the information at this time. But on second thought, she deemed that she didn’t have to worry about that. Because even though he had lost his memory, he was still Zhou Yan, who was always strong and powerful.

“How are things going on with Shen Mo?” Zhou Yan said very quietly.

“I think that things should be almost done.”

There was a long moment of silence then, and neither of them spoke. Both of them were thinking about something. When they came to their senses, they found there were no drips in the drip bottle, so they rang the bell immediately to call the nurse to change the bottle.

“Go back to rest first! I have a nursing worker here. Don’t worry about me.” Zhou Yan said to Xia Yu, showing a sign of fatigue.

“Well, good night.” Xia Yu stood up. She did not want to give him too much pressure.

Xia Yu raised her lips and smiled. Then she left the ward. As soon as she got out of the hospital hall, Zhou Yi came to her, asking anxiously, “Xia Yu, you must know something, right?”
