Chapter 957 - 1000: Searching for Clues
Therefore, Pete immediately ordered his men to find Anxin’s whereabouts! To avoid alerting the fake in the house, I didn’t immediately expose her. Instead, I sent people to gather information on Anxin’s whereabouts while trying every possible way to pacify this fake Ye Anxin.
After a week of searching, I finally discovered Anxin’s whereabouts.
To prevent the fake Anxin at home from suspecting, I used a business trip as a pretext, taking little Chu Yi with me to Jiangcheng. This was to draw out the spy that the fake Anxin placed around me. Once the person monitoring me reported my situation to the fake Anxin, I had Pete apprehend him while I rushed to the city where Anxin was located.
Since I only had preliminary information on Anxin’s whereabouts, my impatience led me there without fully understanding her situation in that city.
When I saw intimate photos of Anxin with Mu Rufeng, I was angry and jealous. If not for my strong willpower, I would have gone straight up to snatch Anxin away from Mu Rufeng.
However, I didn’t want to alarm Mu Rufeng, as he and the fake Anxin at home were in cahoots. That woman had mastered Anxin’s every move and was thoroughly familiar with every detail of my past interactions with Anxin, which meant she was backed by a hidden force I couldn’t yet see. Until I could uproot her power entirely, I couldn’t act rashly. Otherwise, not only would I endanger Anxin, but also Xiao Bai at home, leaving us with unthinkable future risks.
So, I endured, even if I couldn’t endure, I would.
After a day of investigation, I finally learned that Anxin was completely under the control of them, being unaware of her current situation and behavior.
Mu Rufeng insisted on keeping Anxin by his side, even resorting to giving her drugs that severely harmed her health. He then had the world’s most reputable hypnotherapist hypnotize her, erasing all her past memories and forcibly implanting foreign memories into her mind.
Upon discovering all this, I was furious. Had I not yet figured out the power behind Ruan Zhitong at home and identified her, I would have destroyed Mu Rufeng and taken Anxin back.
Pete sensed my anger and suggested finding a way to bring Anxin over first. I agreed.
When Anxin appeared before me, with those unfamiliar eyes, my heart ached, intensifying my anger and resentment towards Mu Rufeng and the fake woman at home.
Though she viewed me and Chu Yi as strangers, I could see from the way she held Chu Yi a profound maternal instinct emanating from her.
Even little Chu Yi felt she was his mother, staying calm and smiling happily in her embrace.
After bringing her here, Pete explained everything to her, hoping she would observe and take heed.
Furthermore, to help her recover her memory, I arranged for her to meet at 10 AM tomorrow, where I would restore her memory.
She readily agreed to this.
Although I disliked her being alone with Mu Rufeng, I trusted Anxin to discern right from wrong without doing anything to wrong me.
As a businessman, patience is my greatest skill! No matter what, enduring and waiting to find my opponent’s weakness, then strike accurately! Rashness leads nowhere, nor achieves great deeds.
So, I endure! Even if I can’t endure, I will.
Long before thoroughly investigating Anxin’s situation, I’ve already personally sent someone to the United States to bring the hypnotherapist over! If he refused to come willingly, then bind him if necessary.
No matter what, I will restore Anxin’s memory; I must take her away.
What delighted me was that while the hypnotherapist was restoring Anxin’s memory through hypnosis, the investigation of the fake Anxin at home also reached a conclusion.
Turns out, the woman at home was none other than the supposedly lost for four years, Ruan Zhitong.
To remain by my side, she spent four years scheming to surgically transform herself to resemble Anxin, mimicking everything from her appearance to mannerisms, expressions, voice, and gaze.
She masterminded a scene where she fell into the river, disfiguring herself, so even when her face healed differently, I wouldn’t doubt her.
Yet, she failed to account for emotions and feelings, which can’t be disguised.
Even though she mirrored Anxin in every aspect, the marital feelings were entirely different.
My men not only exposed her true identity but also detained every spy she had planted around me, secretly watching, and observing our every move.
With preparations all in place, there’s nothing to fear, nor any further reservation.
Once Anxin’s memory is restored, I can immediately take her away, then settle scores with Mu Rufeng and Ruan Zhitong.
I once swore that anyone who dared harm Anxin would not be let off, Ruan Zhitong included!
Four years ago, she vanished into thin air, letting Su Yuexin become the scapegoat! Now appearing four years later, I absolutely won’t let her escape punishment, combining new and old grievances into one reckoning. This time, I won’t let her get away.
To avoid arousing suspicion, I maintained contact via phone, while having her informant report my latest situation to her.
After the hypnotherapist’s treatment restoring Anxin’s memory, Anxin remained quietly asleep on the bed.
That night, while I held little Chu Yi as he slept, a series of faint footsteps suddenly echoed in the room.
The abrupt footsteps startled me awake, causing me to sit up from the sofa.
Seeing clearly who had come in, I realized Anxin had awoken!
As she tearfully called me ’Uncle,’ I felt a sense of reunion, finally able to embrace her, soothing the long-held longing.
That night, I wanted her fiercely, driven by longing, wishing she could be absorbed into my very being.
She was overwhelmed by me until the next morning, then fell groggily asleep.
Once she was asleep, I instructed Pete to first capture Mu Rufeng and his mother, sending them ahead to Jin City. Concerned about Anxin’s health, I lingered there an extra day until she regained her strength, then the next day, we set off for Jin City.
After landing, I had my men surround the villa inside and out, bringing Ye Shan, Mu Rufeng, and his mother to the villa.
Returning to the villa, we didn’t find Ruan Zhitong!
I commanded my men to bring her down from upstairs!
She didn’t appear panicked as we expected; instead, she remained unusually calm.
