Xu Yanzhou lowered his eyes and sighed heavily.

"You are indeed the missing second young master of the Li family, Li Chengyuan, not just someone who looks similar."

The announcer's voice is playing on the phone, and the video report is as follows.

"...According to the latest news from this station, the second young master of the Li family went missing several months ago. The Li family has been secretly searching for him. According to sources and the Municipal Hospital, the second young master's disappearance was not an accident, but a premeditated hit-and-run incident."

"The hospital's records show that Li Chengyuan suffered a severe head injury after the violent impact, resulting in severe retrograde amnesia and complete loss of his past memories. The perpetrator was none other than Lin Zhixia, the heiress of the Lin Group, who has recently been embroiled in controversy."

The ward fell into a deathly silence.

Li Chengyuan stared at his phone screen, his face stiff, his gaze unwavering.

During that time, the recording was played repeatedly, each word clear and sharp, like a needle piercing his heart, causing a dense, throbbing pain.

A moment later, Li Chengyuan put down his phone, his voice unusually calm, his lips moving slightly.

"This...this isn't true. Didn't you say before that I just look a lot like the second young master of the Li family? These are all false reports by the media to grab attention."

"Lin Zhixia would never lie to me."

Although Lin Zhixia treated him badly before, she has changed her ways since then.

She said that once they pay off their online loans, they will work hard, save up enough to buy a house, get married, and then they will have a home of their own.

She meticulously decorated the house and cooked for him; she genuinely wanted to spend her life with him.

"Ah Yuan, Xu Yanzhou is right. You were deceived by Lin Zhixia. She not only deceived you, but also deceived all of us."

Suddenly, Bai Muqing walked in from the door of the ward, holding a document in her hand.

Li Chengyuan slightly raised his eyes. When he saw Bai Muqing, it was as if many images suddenly flashed through his mind, flooding into his brain like a torrent.

This woman looks so familiar to him.

Bai Muqing placed the document in front of Li Chengyuan: "If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this. After you read it, you will believe that Lin Zhixia has been lying to you from beginning to end."

Li Chengyuan looked at the document Bai Muqing threw at him, which included many photos.

Bai Muqing crossed her arms and stared at the photos.

"On the day Lin Zhixia went bankrupt, she accidentally bumped into you while trying to avoid her debts. Fearing that the Li family would hold her responsible, she took advantage of your amnesia and brought you to the outskirts of Beijing. During this time, she used you as her cash cow, making you work day and night to earn money for her."

"She even lied to you, saying you were an orphan with no parents. You should know better than us how she treated you."

"Grandpa Li already knows about this. Lin Zhixia went to the Li family today. By the way, speaking of Lin Zhixia, where is she?"

Li Chengyuan clutched the photos tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, and his dark eyes were now bloodshot.

His voice was low and hoarse, with a slight tremor.

"She told me she wanted to break up."

Upon hearing this, Bai Muqing let out a mocking chuckle.

"I knew it. This woman couldn't have done nothing. Grandpa Li originally gave her three days to send you back, which would have relieved her of some of her responsibility. But she just broke up with you. I reckon she's already packed her things and left."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyuan seemed to remember something, abruptly threw off the blanket, and stumbled out of the ward, leaning on his cane.

Seeing this, Bai Muqing hurriedly chased after him and grabbed his arm: "A-Yuan, where are you going? Your injuries haven't healed yet!"

Li Chengyuan had a gloomy face, his eyes were sharp as an eagle, and his aura was terrifying. He suddenly shook off Bai Muqing.

He continued walking forward, but the cane was not very convenient, which made him walk very slowly and unsteadily, but he gritted his teeth and moved forward step by step.

His wounds hadn't fully healed yet, and each tug at them was painful, but the pain from these superficial injuries paled in comparison to even a fraction of the pain in his heart.

All he wants to do now is go back and see if Lin Zhixia has left.

Does she really want to break up with him and abandon him?

Seeing Li Chengyuan looking so disheveled and pitiful, Bai Muqing anxiously turned to Xu Yanzhou for help: "Xu Yanzhou, aren't you and Ayuan on good terms? He's still injured, you should go and try to persuade him."

Xu Yanzhou simply stood there, his face expressionless.

"Do you think it's necessary? Besides, you came here to tell him the truth, so why stop him? They are from two different worlds. When he remembers that he and Lin Zhixia were mortal enemies, he won't feel so bad."

You might regret it.

Upon hearing Xu Yanzhou's words, Bai Muqing's emotions seemed to calm down immediately.

"Go with him, otherwise he won't give up."

Several people accompanied Li Chengyuan back to the rented apartment he shared with Lin Zhixia. Bai Muqing helped Li Chengyuan, and as Li Chengyuan reached the door and was about to take out his keys, he caught a glimpse of the set of keys next to the shoe cabinet.

That belongs to Lin Zhixia.

Even Bai Muqing understood. She and Li Chengyuan had grown up together since childhood, and she had never seen him suffer so much for anyone in matters of the heart.

They even lured the dignified young master of the Li family to live in such a cheap house.

That Lin Zhixia! She's so awful!

Li Chengyuan picked up the bunch of keys on the shoe cabinet. The door, which he could open easily on ordinary days, was inexplicably locked today.

He tried several times, but he just couldn't get the key into the socket. In the end, Bai Muqing took the key from his trembling hand.

"I'll do it."

Bai Muqing opened the door, and Li Chengyuan hurriedly went in. But when he saw the empty wardrobe and the room, Li Chengyuan felt as if all his energy had been drained, and he collapsed onto the bed.

Xu Yanzhou walked in; this was his first time visiting the place where Lin Zhixia and Li Chengyuan lived.

Although the house is small, you can feel its warmth, and you can tell that the two people are living life with care.

He narrowed his eyes. Lin Zhixia, really, hasn't fallen for Li Chengyuan?

Li Chengyuan lowered his head slightly, his fingers gripping the bed sheet tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

She really doesn't want this family anymore, and she doesn't want him either.

He clenched his teeth tightly, a tear falling from the corner of his eye and landing on the floor.

"Lin Zhixia, you've been lying to me all along. From the very beginning, you never intended to live a proper life with me. Since you've been lying to me for so long, why don't you just keep lying?"

Xu Yanzhou and Bai Muqing saw that Li Chengyuan was actually crying because of this unhealthy relationship.

The two men had different expressions. For a moment, they couldn't tell whether Li Chengyuan was so upset because he hadn't regained his memory or because of what had happened between him and Lin Zhixia.

But this was just speculation in the minds of the two of them; no one knew what Li Chengyuan was really thinking.

He probably doesn't even know what he's thinking right now.

Bai Muqing stepped forward and, seeing Li Chengyuan's pained expression, felt an even deeper disgust for Lin Zhixia.

"Ah Yuan, come back to the Li family with me. Grandpa Li and your brother have been looking for you all this time. The worst one is this Lin Zhixia. She knows that everyone in the family is very worried, but she selfishly hid you for so long. Not only that, she also dared to work as a nanny in the Li family. I think it would be best to call the police and have her arrested immediately!"
