Chapter 417: Chapter 417: The American Tiger Eyeing the Crocodile (8)

"For a doctor like me, I find that making someone deliberately forget something isn’t very difficult."

It was as if he himself could easily do this seemingly impossible task.

Gu Nuan’s sharp gaze swept over his cold face.

Tang Sili slowly took another sip of water, "As long as one understands the mechanism by which human memory operates, just disrupting a specific part of that mechanism can make it very easy to accomplish."

"Why are you suddenly telling me all this, Professor Tang?" Gu Nuan said, "I don’t seem to have made an offer yet. Why do I feel like it’s not me who wants to buy your thing, but rather, you who want to buy mine?"

Which meant the woman must be very clever.

The corner of Tang Sili’s mouth curved slightly, "There’s no more generous boss in the world than Mr. Xiaosheng. Madame Xiaosheng, even you couldn’t offer a higher price than Mr. Xiaosheng now."

"So, is there something I have that you need, Professor Tang? What is it? If you don’t tell me, I can’t give it to you, can I?"

At that moment, Tang Sili’s expression became even more inscrutably fleeting as he said, "Madame Xiaosheng, you already know full well, why should I say more? Simply put, anyone who has seen magic knows that the Magician always has a key in hand. This key can both lock the door and open it. Madame Xiaosheng, you are the key that can open Pandora’s box—"

Gu Nuan’s eyes narrowed, "Are you implying that I am related to the memories he lost?"

"And related to the memories Dr. Ou lost as well."

The most annoying thing about this man was exactly this; he always loved to exploit other people’s weaknesses.

"I tend to think, Professor Tang, whether it’s treating my husband’s illness or taking on Dr. Ou as a student, it seems you’re only interested in the two of them for their interest. Whether it’s an interest in their illnesses, or a very strong interest in the money they hold—"

"You might as well assume I’m interested in their money."

"What do you need so much money for?"

"So, Madame Xiaosheng, what do you need so much money for?"

Gu Nuan sneered, "Let’s cut to the chase, Professor Tang. You said I’m the key that can open their Pandora’s box. Let’s set aside Dr. Ou for now, as for my husband, I have never met him before."

"May I ask you a question?" Tang Sili slowly lifted his deep, dark eyes and surveyed hers, "Do you remember how your ears were injured?"

In fact, that time, when she went to meet the woman who had taken Xiaosheng away, on her return, she definitely couldn’t tell her parents about it, and then there was a car accident. She had sustained a blow to her head, but it wasn’t serious, and she didn’t even notice it herself; all she knew was that afterwards her hearing gradually worsened, and for a while, she was in a state where she could hardly hear anything.

"Do you remember the accident scene?"

"I don’t," Gu Nuan said, "At that time, my entire head felt like it was going to explode, booming, and my ears could not hear."

"The violent impact caused a problem in your auditory conduction system, and it wasn’t simply a matter of eardrum damage, so you didn’t feel symptoms like bleeding. In fact, injuries that don’t show outward signs, akin to internal organ damage, are quite severe. You will eventually lose all your hearing, Madame Xiaosheng because, anti-inflammatory drugs are of no use to you, which indicates it’s not an inflammation, but that the auditory nerve is damaged."

Gu Nuan’s brows faintly furrowed.

Tang Sili continued sipping water, for him, delivering such despair-inducing words to countless patients every day was routine, and he had long become numb to it.
