"Hahaha, what are you thinking, you silly girl? I'm just an old geezer, how could I possibly kidnap someone? Besides, Han Junyan is your boyfriend, why would I kidnap him?"
Old Shen Tou turned and went into the house, pouring Meng Jingwei a glass of water. "Here, silly girl, drink some water first. You look so flustered, it pains this old man."
Meng Jingwei's face was filled with anger, and she stamped her foot in frustration. "Han Junyan has been kidnapped, and you're still in the mood to joke?"
"Alright, alright, Grandpa won't joke anymore. You drink the water, and Grandpa will help you figure something out." He urged Meng Jingwei to drink.
Meng Jingwei hugged the cup indignantly and gulped down the water.
She slammed the cup down on the table. "The water is finished. Can we think of a way to save Brother Junyan now?"
"Yes, okay. Sit down and tell me the situation properly."
Old Shen Tou pulled Meng Jingwei to sit on the sofa.
Meng Jingwei then recounted everything that had happened on the way home from school truthfully to Old Shen Tou, but as she spoke, her vision darkened, and she fell asleep.
At some unknown time, Meng Jingwei woke up with a throbbing headache.
"Old Shen Tou, what happened to me? My head hurts so much."
"You mischievous girl, you were running around and tripped on the stone slab at the entrance, hitting your head."
Meng Jingwei believed him and went to school, only to find that Han Junyan wasn't there.
She asked her classmates, who said that Han Junyan had gone abroad to study, and his entire family had moved away very hastily.
...
All these events, one by one, flashed through Meng Jingwei's mind.
The pain, like an explosion, made Meng Jingwei clutch her head and roll on the ground several times, her head hitting the floor heavily from the pain.
At some point, the pain finally subsided a little. She leaned weakly against the bed, as limp as a puddle of mud.
She leaned there motionlessly, her mind replaying the words Old Shen Tou had spoken to He Xiaolan Ya earlier, finding them incredibly ironic.
"How could this be?"
Meng Jingwei raised a hand to cover her head, muttering to herself.
Why had Old Shen Tou's attempt to seal her memories this time not only failed but also brought back all her past memories?
They had clearly spoken in code just now, and she had understood them without a translator, without any effort.
Old Shen Tou was always meticulous and never failed. What could have caused this situation?
Meng Jingwei couldn't figure it out, and the harder she thought, the more her head throbbed.
She simply got up and lay down on the bed, closing her eyes to rest, no longer trying to think.
But she had finally understood something. She knew why Old Shen Tou had targeted Qing Muye.
It was because any boy she liked who appeared by her side met a bad end.
Qing Muye had the ability to protect himself, and Old Shen Tou was helpless against him. As for Han Junyan, who was kidnapped and taken away back then, what exactly happened after he was taken?
She suddenly realized that Han Junyan also had many secrets.
Everything that happened after his kidnapping was mysterious, making it impossible for her to grasp.
But one thing she was sure of: Han Junyan was probably not... an enemy.
"So tired..."
Meng Jingwei sighed heavily, reminiscing about the past. For the first time, she felt like a puppet, her life being manipulated by others.
Thinking about it now, her adoptive mother, Meng Tianhua, and Du Juan were likely not simple people either.
If it weren't for this accident, Meng Jingwei felt she would have lived her entire life like a joke.
But Qing Muye must think her memories were 'sealed'. How was she supposed to tell him?
