1209 Qiao Xi’s Suspicion
Qiao Xi could not help but feel nervous. How could she explain this? She wanted to tell Gu Zheng directly that she was here to take a test, but the results of the test were confusing. Qin An could not find any problems with her brain. Instead, he suspected that she had been hypnotized by an expert hypnotist, or that all of this was just their imagination.
When she walked out of Blue Dream Pavilion just now, she had been wondering who had hypnotized her. She didn’t even realize that something was wrong and had no room to resist.
Now that she was also a hypnotist, she knew very well that it was very difficult to modify a person’s memory with hypnosis. Even if she was very talented, she could not do it to that extent.
Moreover, she and Gu Zheng had very strong willpower. If someone wanted to hypnotize them, they had to do it while they were caught off guard. Otherwise, the two of them would quickly notice it and resist with all their might. Then the hypnosis would fail.
Could it be that the person who hypnotized them was someone they were very familiar with? Was that why they were unprepared?
After thinking for a long time, a person appeared in Qiao Xi’s mind. Her grandfather’s hypnosis skills were invincible. If he was the one who hypnotized her, she would definitely be caught off guard.
Gu Zheng probably knew that the divine physician was her grandfather, so he naturally would not be on guard either. But why?
“What are you thinking about, Mrs. Gu? Why are you so engrossed?” Gu Zheng’s words pulled Qiao Xi back to reality.
Qiao Xi’s entire body trembled as she hurriedly raised her eyes.
“You probably didn’t come to Blue Dream Pavilion so early in the morning just to chat. You probably did something medical-related. But it seems like you don’t want to tell me.” Gu Zheng sized her up, his deep eyes completely seeing through her.
Qiao Xi’s body suddenly stiffened as she met his cold eyes guiltily. His eyes had always been so cold, but whenever she approached, she could always see the gentleness overflowing from his eyes.
The two of them gradually approached each other. Gu Zheng put an arm around her waist and pulled her closer, his eyes filled with affection. “Xi Xi?”
Qiao Xi thought for a long time and really did not know how to answer. She could only laugh awkwardly. “I’m from the Medical a.s.sociation. Isn’t it normal for me to come here? I don’t have anything to say!”
Gu Zheng did not ask further. Instead, he turned around and opened the car door. After the two of them got into the car, Gu Zheng pulled down the part.i.tion in the middle, blocking Song Shiyu’s line of sight. His tall and straight body pressed against Qiao Xi’s body. He raised his eyebrows. “Are you sure?”
Song Shiyu could vaguely hear their voices. Why did he feel that the president’s voice was filled with killing intent? How did Young Madam offend the president today?! ‘Hurry up and admit your mistake, Young Madam!’
Qiao Xi leaned back and distanced herself from Gu Zheng. She thought about it carefully. She could tell Gu Zheng that someone had hypnotized them, but she would not tell him that the person was her grandfather. After all, everything was just her guess. It would be fine if she did not tell Gu Zheng first.
Gu Zheng sized up the person in front of him with his cold eyes. He could clearly feel that she had become active. In the next second, Qiao Xi suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him pitifully. “Ah Zheng, I originally wanted to take on everything alone and didn’t want you to feel pressured, but since you insist on asking, I’ll tell you!”
The corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth twitched as if he was saying, ‘I’ll just quietly watch you pretend.’
Qiao Xi whined aggrievedly. “Ah Zheng, we suspected that we lost our memory yesterday. After all, there’s no such coincidence in the world.”
Gu Zheng’s slender fingers brushed past her eyes that were watering up. “So you came here to investigate this matter? Then why didn’t you want to tell me?”
Qiao Xi whimpered. “Third Brother tested me for more than an hour, but we didn’t find any problems. Then, Third Brother said that there was only one possibility—we were hypnotized! Ah Zheng, how could I tell you this?!”
Gu Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the temperature around his body seemed to have decreased a little. Actually, he knew that Qiao Xi would definitely come to the Medical a.s.sociation to investigate the truth, but for some reason, he kept having a premonition that it was his idea to make Qiao Xi lose those memories.
He lowered his head subtly to hide his gaze and asked casually, “Did you find out who hypnotized us?”
Qiao Xi hurriedly shook her head. “N-No! Being hypnotized is just a guess. We don’t have any substantial evidence yet. Actually, losing a portion of our memories might not mean that we were hypnotized. Perhaps there’s another reason.”
“A-Anyway, someone who can do such a thing must be an expert. My hypnosis is so weak. I definitely don’t know such a person!”
