114 A REWARD PART 2 (1/2)

While Xue Lin was being paranoid, Ge Chen went back to his study room. He kept remembering her shocked face and embarrassed expression. If he didn't peep inside the room, he wouldn't know that she felt that way. He smiled and his heart sang the song of spring.

He sat on his chair and turned on the laptop. He got a notification. It was an email. He checked the email and downloaded the attachment. He read the document and his previous smile was wiped from his face. His eyes repeatedly went through the document to see if he missed anything. After reading for the fifth time, he called someone.

After ringing three times, the person answered the call and his face became visible on the screen. ”Don't you sleep?” he asked.

”I've few questions to ask you.” Ge Chen went to the business straight away.

Mu Liang arched his left eyebrow. ”Is it about Lu Feng? We found him on the location you gave us. He cannot remember anything that happened.” He seemed relaxed after finding Lu Feng.

And it made Ge Chen suspicious. ”Nothing at all?”

Mu Liang shook his head. His lips subtly bent. ”Not a single thread. But we know that he left his two subordinates in South America and secretly headed somewhere.”

Ge Chen pressed his hand on his cheek. ”Does he remember where he was secretly heading?”

”Unfortunately no.” Mu Liang still answered negatively. He wished he could give his friend some information. But his hands were tied.

Ge Chen questioned him further, ”Did he say anything about the elixir he was looking for?”

Mu Liang truthfully answered him, ”He did. He said that there was a small notebook. He found the information there. Though he doesn't remember what was in the notebook, he firmly said that it was the notebook that led him to somewhere dangerous.”

Ge Chen frowned. He pondered for a moment and then shared his thought, ”Don't you think he is hypnotized? There is no way he will forget about only specific things.”

Mu Liang also had this suspicion. So, he nodded, ”…He is, I think.”

Ge Chen nodded and proposed, ”I see… why don't you bring him here? My wife can treat him.”

Mu Liang said, ”He had a rough journey and finally got back to his pregnant wife… I don't think it would be a good idea to scoop his memory.” He looked reluctant for some reason.

Ge Chen showed a surprised expression. ”Are you not curious what caused him to go there and where did he actually go?”

Mu Liang said, ”Why wouldn't I be? But his health comes first. He is my childhood friend.”
