The driver stole a glance at the rearview mirror, hesitating briefly, but dared not ask the man engulfed in darkness any questions.
Halfway through the drive, Chen Yuchen called.
His voice was uncharacteristically excited: "I heard from Fan Xinglan that you saw Luo Luo? Is it true? We are planning to go with them to look for her."
Yan Yan’s expression was languid, his phoenix eyes seed to be veiled in a layer of dark mist, devoid of any sparkle.
He spoke lazily, "No need to look."
Chen Yuchen was startled, "Why not?"
"I was mistaken."
Upon hearing those light five words, Chen Yuchen fell silent imdiately.
He opened his mouth, unsure of what to say to console him.
She always rembered two years ago, after Yun Qiluo disappeared, Yan Yan one day opened the phone Yun Qiluo had left behind.
When that phone’s screen was unlocked, the display was not the ho page.
Instead, it was the address book, on the page with his na.
Under the words "beautiful woman," was his number.
Before she was taken, she had tried to reach out to him for help.
But just a little, just a little more, and he could have saved her.
Then, this man, who had never reacted since her disappearance, suddenly broke down overnight upon knowing this.
The collapse of an adult happens silently, especially for a man as deep and thoughtful as Yan Yan.
Later, Chen Yuchen heard from Housekeeper Chen of the Yan Family that he had locked himself in the study for a whole day and night, neither eating nor responding.
When he finally erged, his clothes were disheveled, reeking of smoke, his entire aura unrecognizable.
After that, he continued to search for her frantically, a whole month without a trace.
The whole person seed to vanish from the world.
No clues whatsoever, looking for her was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
As ti went by, Yan Yan beca even more despondent.
When Chen Yuchen saw him again, she felt he was just an empty shell, his appearance unmatched, but inside, even his soul seed hollowed out.
Like a walking corpse.
She thought that if he continued like this, sothing would happen sooner or later.
So one day, when she couldn’t stand it anymore, she finally revealed in one breath the secret she had been hiding from him.
The true identity of Tong Xi was not as it appeared.
When she initially regained her mory, she was already with Chen Yuchen, whom she trusted one hundred percent, so she told her everything about her origins.
She had escaped from a laboratory.
Not an ordinary research laboratory, inside were illegal human experints.
According to Tong Xi, that organization captured many children to conduct experints, most were five or six years old, so even as young as two or three.
So were stolen, so were robbed, and so were illegally taken from orphanages.
All these children were sowhat special from a young age, perhaps with incurable diseases or extraordinary intelligence and talent.
Once inside, each child would be regularly injected with drugs and subjected to a series of trainings, with a group of people observing their every move.
Tong Xi was the oldest inside, yet the most ordinary in appearance, and she did not pass their tests.
Those who didn’t pass were sent to another room, she didn’t know what happened there, but she knew no one ever ca back out.
