Chapter 357: Chapter 357: You Know the Truth Now

What caused Qin Jingchen to suddenly become violent after his last treatment and to attempt to kill Jiang Zhe?

This was a puzzle that Jiang Zhe had long been unable to figure out.

Only after seeing the list she now held in her hands did her various doubts start to clear.

Her fingers touched the screen of her phone, sending a message to Yang Feiliu.

Yang Feiliu replied with a string of exclamation marks.

"You mean to say, when Qin Kuo was little and got hurt, which led to his coma and the only living cells in his body were his brain cells, it was uncertain when he might wake up, so the Qin family parents chose to transplant his brain cells into Qin Jingchen’s brain? Why would they do that?"

"Because Qin Kuo was only six when he was injured. If he stayed in a coma, upon waking up, his entire cognition and thoughts would be out of sync with the world. If they found a suitable person to transplant his brain cells to, he could follow this healthy individual, receiving and absorbing knowledge of the world, seeing all the beneficial and effective things, so when he woke up, he would also have cognition of the world, and even not miss out on childhood, education, and understanding of the world."

"That sounds too impossible to achieve! How could this be done! Jiang Zhe, you’re a doctor, tell me, is it possible?"

Yang Feiliu was full of awe, unable to believe what he was reading.

"Before I wasn’t sure. Now I know it’s possible."

Just like Qin Kuo with Qin Jingchen.

At that time, Qin Jingchen’s alter ego, after being treated and guided by Jiang Zhe, had already disappeared.

But the brain cells of Qin Kuo remaining in his brain, took advantage of the moment when his body and willpower were both at their lowest, and seized control of his body, making that move.

Causing injury to Jiang Zhe.

Having understood all this, the questions that had troubled Jiang Zhe for so long were answered.

It also caused her to have even more concerns.

She picked up her bag, turned around, and left the house.

At the same time, she made a phone call.

Fen Ye picked up Jiang Zhe’s call and said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, good timing, I was just about to call you. Jingchen’s condition today seems off..."

"Where is he?"

"In his own apartment. Today he..."

Jiang Zhe interrupted, "Don’t say it, I know everything."

Fen Ye paused, surprised. She knew everything?

So, what exactly happened?

But with Jiang Zhe saying this, he felt relieved instead. Even if he didn’t know what was happening, as long as Jiang Zhe knew, that surely meant it was a matter between her and Qin Jingchen, something the two of them could resolve. As a single dog, it was better for him not to get too involved.

When Jiang Zhe arrived at Qin Jingchen’s apartment, it was already very late.

The streets, lit only by street lights, were deserted.

She entered the apartment, unlocked the door with her fingerprint, and headed straight for Qin Jingchen’s room on the second floor.

After knocking twice, the door opened in front of Jiang Zhe.

Qin Jingchen’s face appeared before her.

The room was dark, his face barely discernible in the dim light.

But the heaviness and desolation that enveloped him were unmistakable.

Upon seeing Jiang Zhe, Qin Jingchen extended his hand toward her, stopping in front of a lock of hair that had fallen by her ear, but never actually touching it.

His hand hovered beside Jiang Zhe’s ear.

The one who had hurt her was Qin Kuo, but it was always his own hand.

He could not know how Jiang Zhe had managed to escape from Yuanlong’s heavily guarded domain, but he could tell from the scars on her waist that it was definitely not an easy thing to do.

"I’m sorry," Qin Jingchen’s voice was hoarse and unpleasant, with severe emotions locked deep within the undercurrents of his eyes.

Jiang Zhe’s lips slightly pursed, her fox-like eyes lifting slightly: "What for?"

"Four years ago, it was I who injured you," Qin Jingchen did not hide anything, including everything about Qin Kuo.

After he spoke, his fingers touched the hair near Jiang Zhe’s ears, tucking the stray strands behind.

"Oh, I knew that before I came here," Jiang Zhe said with an incredibly calm voice.

The smile on Qin Jingchen’s lips was bitter. "So, you didn’t reject my marriage proposal at that time and gave me a year because you also wanted to investigate this matter?"

"Exactly," Jiang Zhe admitted, meeting his gaze.

Otherwise, she would have never accepted such a baffling marriage proposal.

When she saw Qin Jingchen in a small alley again, she indeed was focused on finding out the only failure in her career as a psychologist, the major Waterloo incident, and what exactly caused it.

Although she had already retired, that was an incident she could not forget.

Qin Jingchen’s fingers tightened slightly near her ear, then slowly let go.

In the apartment deep into the night, the air conditioning drove away the heat thoroughly, leaving a chill in the air everywhere.

"Is it just to investigate this matter?" he asked.

Jiang Zhe thought for a moment, then turned her head to say, "Yes."

"Now, you know the truth," Qin Jingchen’s voice was so light, as if a breeze could disperse it into the air, impossible to catch with the ears.

Knowing the answer she wanted, Qin Jingchen did not speculate what she would do.

But whatever she did, it was logical, even if it included outcomes Qin Jingchen couldn’t accept.

He parted his lips but couldn’t utter the words to retain her.

Clenching his hand, Jiang Zhe stood in the brightly lit corridor, the bright light outlining her rich and vivid features, yet her eyes were clear and transparent.

Qin Jingchen stood in the dark, lightless area, as if something invisible had cut between the two of them.

This invisible barrier tightened Qin Jingchen’s heart, making his heartbeat unsteadily.

He was ready to reach out at any moment to grab her.

As if she was a little fox spirit that could slip away from him at any time.

Jiang Zhe turned around, and Qin Jingchen embraced her from behind.

He had intended only to hold her, but at that moment, a mere hold seemed far from enough.

Qin Jingchen pulled her into his embrace, leaning his head down beside her ear.

"I’ll go get you a glass of water," Jiang Zhe’s voice remained calm and indifferent.

Feeling the man behind her slowly releasing his arms, Jiang Zhe walked downstairs.

When she returned, she held a cup of warm water in her hand.

Handing it over, Qin Jingchen caught the cup and took her palm in his.

Her fingertips were slightly cool, adding a trace of chill to the water in the cup.

Jiang Zhe pulled her fingers back and said, "Drink up, and after that, I will check on you. Qin Kuo’s brain cells were implanted in your brain, sharing your life experience, knowledge, and even sometimes, seizing control of your body. Although you had surgery four years ago to remove his brain cells, some must have remained, causing you to occasionally show signs of a dual personality."

"Alright, check on me," he said.

"When was the surgery to remove the brain cells done?" Jiang Zhe asked.
