Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Lingering on His Mind for So Long

Jiang Ye had given her a record of the hypnosis she underwent ten years ago, along with some subsequent evaluations and follow-up records.

It recorded Chi Yue’s condition during her college years, up until she later started working and was with Fu Rao.

That is to say, for so many years, she had been living under someone else’s surveillance!

There were signatures on these records, but the signatures were blurred, and Chi Yue couldn’t make out the names on them.

Just then, her phone rang, and it was Jiang Ye calling.

"Have you finished reading them?"

Chi Yue’s eyes flashed with a cold light, "You timed your call very precisely, so you surely didn’t just want to ask me that question, did you?"

Jiang Ye chuckled lightly, "You’re so clever, no wonder he has been preoccupied with you for so long."

"Who signed these documents?"

"I called exactly to tell you not to guess blindly— the signer isn’t Fu Rongyin’s mom; it’s my teacher. As for the deeper issues, you’d better find out the answers yourself."

Chi Yue didn’t receive any further information from Jiang Ye, so she started to search for news related to Jiang Ye’s teacher, but found nothing online.

Mrs. Bai Senior had urged her to come home by noon, saying that the Nan Family was coming over for dinner, and Chi Yue packed her things and took them back home.

In the evening, Nan Yuan and Nan Bingyu arrived, but their parents did not come.

Under Chi Yue’s puzzled gaze, Nan Bingyu whispered, "My parents are upset with my brother; they are sulking right now."

Chi Yue raised her eyebrows, "Why are they sulking?"

Nan Bingyu said, "My brother told our parents that he didn’t want to marry you and hold you back, and they started arguing with him. Oh, right, you might not know this, but they came back because they heard that my brother might be getting back together with Fu Hanyan, so they immediately flew back from abroad."

Chi Yue puzzled, "Why?"

"Isn’t it obvious? My parents would rather see you develop a relationship with my brother than have Fu Hanyan marry into the family."

Now Chi Yue was genuinely confused; logically speaking, a union between the Nan Family and the Fu Family should benefit both families.

Chi Yue wanted to ask more, but Mrs. Bai Senior didn’t give her the chance to speak further and called her over to accompany Nan Yuan, evidently to create an opportunity for them to be together.

In the yard, Nan Yuan smiled wryly, "I’ve caused you trouble."

"It’s no trouble. I’m just curious why your aunt and uncle don’t let you be with Miss Fu."

Nan Yuan seemed to be recalling something, his gaze distant and deep, "It’s all in the past, and there’s no point digging it up now. Don’t worry, I will explain it to the Old Lady and won’t cause you any trouble."

Nan Yuan didn’t wish to elaborate, and Chi Yue didn’t press further, so they started talking about other matters.

Suddenly remembering what Jiang Ye had said, Chi Yue said, "Nan Yuan, do you know who Jiang Ye’s teacher is?"

Nan Yuan’s expression changed slightly, "Why would you know about him?"

Seeing his reaction, she affirmed, "You know him."

Nan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Such a famous person is well-known in our circles. Many even consider him a goal to strive toward."

"Really?"

"His hypnosis technique is unparalleled; to this day, no one can match him, and even Jiang Ye has only learned half of what he knows. But he hasn’t been heard from in recent years; others are searching for him too."

Chi Yue silently noted this in her heart, keeping her expression unchanged, "So Jiang Ye has such a remarkable teacher."

"Right? It’s regrettable that he chose Jiang Ye to be his student of all people."

Chi Yue asked further, "Do you know what his teacher’s name is?"

"Chang Jinnian."

...

Mrs. Bai Senior, dissatisfied with the arranged marriage between the man and woman, was in a gloomy mood and said she needed to go out to clear her head.

Chi Yue wanted to accompany her, but the Old Lady declined.

"You’re as stubborn as your mother. Just stay home and reflect on yourself."

Then, she took Bai Bixuan and the caretaker to a nearby villa to unwind.

Chi Yue, unaccustomed to living in such a large house by herself, gathered all the items related to Bai Qing in her room and took them to her apartment.

Exiting the elevator, Chi Yue saw faint sparks near her front door; she hesitated, then turned on her phone’s flashlight. Before she could shine it forward, her wrist was grabbed.
