“Did you forget about Guan Lei?” Gu Chen asked carefully. He was a little unsure how to answer Shen Xi’s question.
“Do you really not remember Guan Lei?” Gu Chen asked again when he saw Shen Xi’s confused expression.
Shen Xi was getting impatient. She frowned and replied, “What’s wrong with you? I’ve said that 1 don’t know him. Why are you so annoying?”
Gu Chen immediately shut up and stopped asking.
He didn’t expect that Shen Xi would become so irritable after losing her memory. She was a little different from the cold and indifferent personality before.
Lu Shan who was sitting opposite, sighed. She felt lucky but helpless.
Fortunately, Shen Xi had forgotten about Guan Lei and did not feel the pain.
Helplessly, Shen Xi had forgotten everything. If she were to tell Shen Xi all these things now, it would really be a long story.
Besides, she couldn’t tell Shen Xi that Guan Lei was the person she loved and then he died.
Shen Yan didn’t know how to answer Shen Xi. He only questioned Gu Chen’s words. He asked, “Did you not partic.i.p.ate in the break-in of the Imperial Capital Military University’s research lab? How about the theft of information, the a.s.sa.s.sination of Guan Lei and the current general?”
Gu Chen slowly turned his head to meet Shen Yan’s questioning gaze and shook his head. He replied, “Our family supports the Liu family’s ascension, but we’re only a.s.sisting them. The Gu family doesn’t know everything about Liu family, and we don’t have the right to interfere with what they do. I only suggested to lock Guan Lei up.”
Gu Chen then turned to Shen Xi and said guiltily, “That’s why 1 feel sorry for Xi. If it weren’t for my suggestion, Guan Lei might not have fallen. He wouldn’t have let Meng Yu poison him and died. Then, Xi wouldn’t have suffered from this mental trauma and memory loss.”
Gu Chen had made it very clear that the Gu family and the Guan family were political enemies, so whatever he did was reasonable. The fight between the political enemies had always been like this. There was no right or wrong, only victory mattered.
Besides, the family that was hostile to the Guan family was the Liu family. The Guan family merely supported them.
Therefore, it had nothing to do with the Gu family that the Liu’s attacked the Gnan family
Gu Chen was obviously unwilling to take the blame.
Shen Yan and Lu Shan looked at each other. They understood what Gu Chen had said.
It was not wrong for political enemies to fight each other. Besides, if the a.s.sa.s.sination was done by the Liu’s, it really had nothing to do with the Gu family.
As the supporters, it was understandable for the Gu family to use some tricks to suppress the Guan family.
However, this was all based on the fact that Gu Chen was telling the truth.
Shen Yan and Lu Shan still didn’t believe Gu Chen’s words.
Just like how they didn’t believe that Gu Chen didn’t hypnotize Shen Xi.
Another reason was that Shen Xi believed in Meng Yu t s character. Otherwise, Shen Xi would not have protected Meng Yu for so many years. They trusted Shen Xi.
Therefore, it was a little difficult for them to believe that Meng Yu would kill Guan Lei. They believed in Shen Xi’s foresight.
All in all, they had no answer to the current situation, so Shen Yan and Lu Shan wisely chose to be suspicious of Gu Chen.
However, it seemed that he could only put aside the matter. Shen Yan decided not to go against the Gu family now.
Shen Xi caught the main point and asked, “Why would I lose my memory? What does it have to do with me when the person who named Guan Lei died?”
Gu Chen stared at Shen Xi’s eyes, trying to see any abnormal expression on Shen Xi’s face.
He was skeptical that Shen Xi would forget Guan Lei.
After all, he had hypnotized Shen Xi and altered her memories before this, but Shen Xi still wanted to get close to Guan Lei last time.
Otherwise, why would Shen Xi use those painkillers, right?
If she did not remember her feelings for Guan Lei, she would not betray Gu Chen, then she wouldn’t have suffered from the painful punishment.
Shen Xi saw Gu Chen looking at her with an inquisitive gaze. She frowned and asked, “Why are you looking at me? I’m asking you, why didn’t you answer me? Why are you looking at me with such a strange gaze? Are you studying me?”
Gu Chen didn’t see anything unusual on Shen Xi’s face, so he retracted his probing gaze. Then, he said with a regretful look, “Guan Lei is your cla.s.smate from high school. He’s quite close to you. You guys used to fate each other. So, I think your amnesia might have something to do with him. You’re too sad..”
