Huo Shaoyan threw down these words and left without looking back.
His tall and slender figure quickly disappeared from sight.
An Ge’s heart felt inexplicably sour.
She lowered her head and closed her eyes, but tears still overflowed from the corners.
Li Shaosi watched her silently for a mont and said with concern, "Co to the study to find after you’ve cried enough."
Li Shaosi threw down these words and turned to leave.
Half an hour later, An Ge, with swollen eyes, knocked on the door of Li Shaosi’s study.
When she entered, Li Shaosi was looking at an old photograph.
As An Ge approached, Li Shaosi pushed the photograph towards her, "This is you at six years old, our group photo."
The photograph was a group portrait.
A teenager of fifteen or sixteen and a little girl about six or seven years old.
The little girl with two braids sat on the swing; the boy in his snow-white clothes stood behind her.
The boy’s face showed no smile, but the girl smiled as bright as a mountain flower.
An Ge quickly recognized the boy in the photo as the young Li Shaosi.
And the little girl, she was familiar; she was the one who had always appeared in her dreams.
An Ge stared at the photo absentmindedly for a while, then said, "So, I really am Qin Xiaoqi, right?"
Li Shaosi said, "Gu Changfeng did your DNA test, and the results proved you are Xiaoqi."
An Ge’s nose twitched, and tears fell.
Li Shaosi continued, "But..."
An Ge’s voice was a little hoarse, "But what?"
Li Shaosi said, "But, Gu Changfeng does not plan to acknowledge you. Because he wants to avenge the Qin family, yet he doesn’t want you involved in this case. He said it’s enough for his own hands to be stained with blood, he doesn’t want yours tainted."
An Ge felt incredibly conflicted.
After a long pause, she asked, "So, was the Qin family’s massacre really done by the An Family?"
Li Shaosi replied, "There is a lack of a complete evidence chain, haven’t been able to deal with the An Family."
An Ge fell silent again.
Li Shaosi watched her for a while and said:
"Before Aunt Sheeng passed away, she instructed , no matter when or where, she hoped I would protect you with all my might. Now, she’s gone,
The Qin family’s massacre hasn’t been avenged, and you’re in a very passive situation right now. Rushing forward alone would be suicide.
So, if you are willing, you can register for marriage with , I’ll be your support, helping you, as well as Gu Changfeng..."
An Ge thought for a mont, then said, "Can you tell the specific details of the Qin family’s tragedy back then?"
Li Shaosi looked at her with an inscrutable gaze, "Yes."
...
Two hours later, An Ge ca out of Li Shaosi’s study.
But, just as she walked out the door, her vision went black, and she completely passed out.
When An Ge woke up again, the sky was already entirely dark.
She opened her eyes, the light overhead making them sore, instinctively using her hand to shield.
As the light dimd, her eyes felt a little better.
At this mont, a voice seed to co from the horizon, "Finally awake."
An Ge’s eyelids moved, she reopened her eyes.
She was very weak, her voice sounding sowhat ethereal, "What’s wrong with ?"
"You fainted, Mr. Li called over."
An Ge’s brain was in a state of exhaustion, those deep-seated vendettas, those past events, she didn’t think about them.
In her mind, there was only one thing, whether to undergo electroshock therapy to regain her mory.
Only by recovering her mory could she truly empathize with the Qin family’s massacre.
Only then could she retrieve her mory and beco her true self.
An Ge drank the warm water Anna handed over and said to her, "I want to undergo electroshock therapy to recover my mory."
Anna looked at her in shock,
"Electroshock therapy, ordinary people can’t withstand electrical stimulation, let alone you’re pregnant? Even if you could tolerate it, the child in your womb wouldn’t survive..."
An Ge pressed her lips, "I... don’t want this child anymore."
Anna was shocked once more:
"I advised you earlier to abort, but you refused decisively. You’re already three months along; if you terminate now, aren’t you risking your life?"
An Ge closed her eyes, for a mont, becoming infinitely lost.
Anna said, "I can understand your feelings, but objectively, your life and the child in your womb take precedence over everything."
Pause for a mont,
"Moreover, there are too many tricky matters now; An Muxin hasn’t been dealt with yet, Mr. Fu’s surgery is still waiting for you to perform, including Young Master Huo; you haven’t even seen him yet, all these are more important compared to regaining your mory..."
An Ge didn’t speak for quite a while.
Anna then got back on topic with An Ge:
"I’ve already visited Mr. Fu and persuaded him to agree to the surgery for Mr. Fu. So, the top priority is for you to adjust your state and prepare for Mr. Fu’s surgery next Wednesday."
"...Okay."
...

On the other side.
Fu Mansion.
Master Fu watched Madam Fu finally awaken and let out a long breath, "You finally woke up."
Madam Fu was sowhat weak.
She sat up against the pillow, sighed, and said:
"I’ve seen An Ge’s prowess today; this woman has too many tricks. We must hurry the marriage between Ah Yan and Muxin, or Ah Yan will et his end at her hands."
Mr. Fu agreed, saying:
"I’ve already talked with Commander An about this. Our families intend to announce the engagent directly at his eightieth birthday banquet, set for the end of September."
Madam Fu made a sound of acknowledgnt and said:
"Although it’s rushed, as long as we can cut Ah Yan off from that woman An Ge, the wedding can be simple."
Madam Fu sighed again and said:
"Ah Yan’s matter is solved, but we can’t delay Huaijin’s case either. How about we let Professor Laura perform the surgery on Huaijin?"
Mr. Fu disagreed, stating:
"Professor Laura’s dical ethics are problematic. Ah Yan told he engages in illegal human experints and has multiple lives in his hands. I’m worried he might harm Huaijin with his malicious intent,
and if Huaijin were hard secretly, we wouldn’t find evidence. Besides, if sothing happened to Huaijin, Fu Group’s stock would crash, causing unimaginable economic losses..."
Madam Fu looked worried, "Then what to do? Do we just watch Huaijin wait for death?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Fu quickly recounted the dayti’s event where Dr. Anna brought Leo’s dical team to them, saying:
"Dr. Anna said Leo owes Huaijin a favor, so he’s willing to perform the surgery on Huaijin unconditionally since Huaijin is critically ill."
As he spoke, Madam Fu was relieved, but still worried.
She asked, "Did you see Leo?"
Mr. Fu said, "Leo is abroad, and the surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday. Regarding Dr. Anna, both Ah Yan and I had people investigate, and there’s no problem with her."
After a pause, he added,
"Ah Yan said he would personally talk to Dr. Anna about the surgery details and strive to et Leo before the surgery."
Madam Fu said, "Then how do we handle the matter with Professor Laura?"
Mr. Fu said, "Ah Yan said he would help refuse his side."
Madam Fu said, "Okay."
...

On the other side.
Huo Shaoyan knocked on An Muxin’s bedroom door and said:
"Open the door, I need to talk to you."
At this mont, freshly showered, An Muxin was imdiately delighted upon hearing Huo Shaoyan’s voice.
But she quickly furrowed her brows.
Because she heard the coldness and even cruelty in Huo Shaoyan’s voice.
In an instant, An Muxin was anxious.
She approached the door carefully and asked:
"Brother Yan, is there sothing you need from ?"
"Open the door."
The man’s voice grew colder and more impatient.
An Muxin had no choice but to open her bedroom door.
Huo Shaoyan did not enter but stood at the doorway, expressionless, as he said to her:
"Was it you who urged the old lady to confront An Ge?"
Upon hearing this, An Muxin imdiately denied:
"No. Granny Fu wanted to go herself, I even tried to stop her, but..."
Huo Shaoyan suddenly grabbed her neck, slamming the door shut behind him.
An Muxin was being strangled as if she was about to lose consciousness, her features contorted horrifically.
Huo Shaoyan released her neck just as she was about to faint.
At this mont, An Muxin was filled with fear towards Huo Shaoyan.
She spoke with a trembling voice,
"Huo...Huo Shaoyan, let tell you, everyone thinks we’re about to get married. If you truly go mad and strangle , all of us would perish, and you’d definitely face retribution."
Huo Shaoyan crouched down then, looking at An Muxin fallen on the ground, he coldly said:
"Last warning — don’t cause trouble again, or I’ll ensure your death is unpleasant."
An Muxin shivered in fear, closing her mouth without daring to utter a sound.
Huo Shaoyan’s words continued:
"Don’t think I don’t know what kind of person your uncle, Professor Laura, is; he holds so many lives in his hands, does he even have the right to be a doctor?
Pass on to him, even if my uncle dies of illness, I will never allow his filthy hands to touch him.
Also, I don’t care what sches he’s plotting; as long as I’m around, anyone who touches Fu Group is dood to die. Do you understand?"
An Muxin nodded fearfully, taking a mont to squeeze out the words, "I...I understand..."
