Chapter 288: Chapter 279: The Trump Card

Long Chen waved his hand, struggling in agony, with no strength to even speak.

This incident even alarmed Lin Yanyan.

Lin Yanyan was very concerned about Long Chen and immediately wanted to make an emergency call.

Long Chen stopped her, barely managing to say, "I... I’m fine, no need to call, I’ll explain to you all in a moment."

Hearing Long Chen’s words, Lin Yanyan and the others calmed down slightly.

It took a full ten minutes before Long Chen finally calmed down, his face somewhat pale.

"What on earth happened, Chen Feng?"

Lin Yanyan stared at Long Chen, "Are you sick or something? Don’t worry, just tell me, if there’s anything I can do to help, I definitely will."

"Yanyan, I’m really alright, don’t worry," Long Chen said.

"But you were in so much pain just now, how can it be nothing," Lin Yanyan said seriously. "You must make it clear today, otherwise, no one will be at ease."

Since it had come to this, after pondering for a moment, Long Chen said, "I had an accident once and lost my memory. I don’t remember anything from before. Just now, in an instant, Lin Doudou’s appearance and demeanor reminded me of someone from my memory, which triggered a desperate attempt to remember, causing my headache to split, but it’s nothing serious."

"I see." Lin Yanyan was astounded, "Have you been to the hospital?"

"Yes, I’ve been. The doctor said I can only recover gradually," Long Chen replied offhandedly.

"It seems that Doudou bears a resemblance to a girl you cared about in the past. Could that be your girlfriend?"

"I don’t know, probably not," Long Chen shook his head because he currently had his fiancée Ye Zhiqiu.

He had not the slightest impression of his past memories.

Lin Doudou looked at Long Chen and said with a smile, "Then don’t worry about it. Just think of me as that girl, I can reluctantly be your girlfriend, of course, a ’fake’ one, haha. Maybe it could even help you regain your memory."

"Nonsense," Lin Yanyan immediately interjected. "Absolutely not, how can you joke about such a thing? Get back to work."

"Oh, got it."

Lin Doudou started to work reluctantly.

"You all disperse too, mind your own business. Anyone who wants their salary docked is free to slack off,"

Lin Yanyan said.

Upon hearing this, the crew-cut guy and the other servers all turned back to their duties.

"Come with me."

Lin Yanyan pulled Long Chen into the office.

"What’s up, Yanyan?"

Long Chen asked in confusion.

"Where are you living now? Is your family in Imperial City?"

Lin Yanyan inquired.

"No, I’m currently staying with my fiancée’s family," Long Chen replied.

"You remember your fiancée?" Lin Yanyan was surprised.

"I don’t, but she told me she’s my fiancée, and I believe she wouldn’t lie to me," Long Chen spoke softly.

"I see," Lin Yanyan frowned slightly. "You’ve lost your memory right now and you’re not in good shape, you don’t even know who your own family is. Haven’t you asked your fiancée about your family? Or has she never mentioned it to you?"

"That..."

Long Chen suddenly realized.

Yes, why had Ye Zhiqiu never mentioned his family to him?

Lin Yanyan could see at a glance that Long Chen had no idea where his family was.

After a brief moment of thought, she said, "Not to sow discord, but I think there’s definitely something off with your fiancée, otherwise she wouldn’t keep your family’s whereabouts from you. You should have a good talk with her.

Of course, there could be some unspeakable difficulty she’s dealing with."

"Yanyan, your warning makes sense. I should indeed ask her," Long Chen said. "By the way, Yanyan, I’m going to take the day off. Call me if there’s anything, and I can come anytime."

He wanted to go back and ask Ye Zhiqiu immediately.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Yanyan held Long Chen back.

"Yanyan, can’t I take a leave?"

"It’s not that," Lin Yanyan said. "Add me on WeChat."

"Alright."

Long Chen and Lin Yanyan exchanged WeChat contacts.

But then, Long Chen found out that Lin Yanyan had transferred fifty thousand yuan to him.

"Yanyan, what’s this for? You already gave me thirty thousand last night, and now you’re sending another fifty thousand, I can’t accept your money like this,"

he said with a wry smile.

"Just keep it for now. If your conversation with your fiancée doesn’t go well, this fifty thousand can help you out in an emergency.

Of course, if it goes well, then consider this money an advance on your salary,"

Lin Yanyan said with a smile.

"This..."

"Alright, enough dawdling. Hurry up and go, you’ve got things to do,"

Lin Yanyan urged Long Chen to get moving.

"Okay, thank you, Yanyan."

Long Chen didn’t speak of any repayment.

A drop of water in need should be returned with a spring in deed; that eight-character maxim could be kept in the heart and practiced without being spoken.

After Long Chen left, Lin Yanyan sighed deeply.

She didn’t know why she was so concerned, so trusting of this employee who had just joined a day before.

Such a thing had never happened to her before.

Yet, Lin Yanyan had no regrets.

"Could it be, that I have developed feelings for this big boy who is several years younger than I am?"

Lin Yanyan touched her own cheek, feeling somewhat feverish.

In her mind, she couldn’t help but recall last night’s scene where ’Chen Feng’ gave her a massage.

Fortunately, during the massage, her most embarrassing part was covered by her trousers.

Otherwise, she would really need to find a hole to burrow into to hide her shame.

...

Outside, Long Chen took a taxi and quickly returned to the Ye Family’s home, but Ye Zhiqiu wasn’t there.

After making a phone call, Long Chen found out that Ye Zhiqiu had actually gone to the bar where he worked.

Long Chen had no choice but to return to the bar, going around in a big circle.

At the entrance of the bar, Long Chen saw Ye Zhiqiu.

Dressed in a long white dress, Ye Zhiqiu looked like a fairy descending to earth, with an exceptional aura.

Those in the bar, including Lin Yanyan and others who were used to seeing beautiful women, were also extraordinarily amazed.

They hadn’t expected that Long Chen’s fiancée would be so gorgeous.

Seeing Long Chen, Ye Zhiqiu immediately showed a radiant smile, "They said you went home during the day to find me, what’s the matter? Did you miss me?"

"Let’s talk somewhere else," Long Chen said seriously.

Ye Zhiqiu, seeing how grave Long Chen was, couldn’t help but feel a thump in her heart.

Could it be that he had remembered something?

A nervous Ye Zhiqiu let Long Chen pull her toward the roadside.

Behind them, Lin Doudou whispered, "I’ve always felt Chen Brother is no ordinary person, just look at his fiancée, such a stunning beauty, a fairy, and even with his amnesia, she remains devoted. Chen Brother must have been someone important before he lost his memory."

"Chen Brother is definitely extraordinary, from the day he taught that Ali guy a lesson, I could tell, but I really didn’t expect that his fiancée would be so..."

Bang.

Before Flat-top could finish his sentence, Lin Yanyan rapped him on the head.

"Flat-top, that’s Chen Feng’s fiancée, I advise you not to entertain any dirty thoughts. Even thinking about it is out of the question; otherwise, I’ll skin you alive," warned Lin Yanyan sternly.

Flat-top pursed his lips, aggrievedly whispering, "Sister Lin, I wouldn’t dare."

"It’s fishy that you wouldn’t dare. Sister, you don’t know, I’ve seen and heard more than once Flat-top behind you, staring at your butt. As soon as you leave, what he says, he’d be willing to..., uh, anyway, it’s really disgusting; I can’t even say it," Lin Doudou reported without hesitation.

Hearing this, Lin Yanyan glared at Flat-top, her face frosty with anger.

Flat-top felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly said, "Sister Lin, I know I was wrong. How about this, I’ll dock my own salary for three days."

"Hm?" Lin Yanyan scoffed coldly.

"Five days. I’ll deduct my salary for five days," Flat-top said with a crestfallen face.

"If there’s a next time, it won’t just be about money. Take this as a warning," said Lin Yanyan before turning and walking away.

...

On the roadside, Long Chen stared at Ye Zhiqiu, repeatedly opening his mouth but stopping short of speaking.

Growing a little anxious, Ye Zhiqiu couldn’t hold back any longer, "If you have something to say, just speak your mind, will you? We don’t need to beat around the bush in our relationship, are you a pig?"

"Zhiqiu, I have a big doubt. You know I’ve lost my memory, but why haven’t you ever taken the initiative to tell me about my family?" Long Chen asked very seriously.

"This..." Ye Zhiqiu was shocked inside.

She had never expected Long Chen to suddenly ask this question.

Indeed, Ye Zhiqiu didn’t know anything about Long Chen’s family. She only knew that Long Chen had an exceedingly powerful father, who might even be stronger than Long Chen at his peak.

But who that person was, she had no idea at all.

Hence, upon hearing Long Chen’s question, Ye Zhiqiu felt extremely troubled.

"Zhiqiu, sorry, my tone was a bit harsh just now, but don’t worry, I’m not blaming you. I just hope you can share with me," Long Chen said gently.

"Chen Feng, do you trust me?" asked Ye Zhiqiu, staring at Long Chen.

"Of course, I trust you."

"Since you trust me, then you need to listen carefully to what I am about to say."

"Go ahead," Long Chen said, focusing intently.

Ye Zhiqiu took a deep breath and then said, "Actually, I’d love to tell you everything, but your current situation isn’t looking good. If I tell you, it could lead to a lot of trouble, and with our current abilities, it’s doubtful we could handle it. So I advise against telling you verbally, I hope you’ll remember on your own. Only if you remember on your own can you solve all the problems. Otherwise, it would just add unnecessary mental burdens."

"What trouble?" Long Chen frowned.

Ye Zhiqiu put a hand to her forehead, struggling to find the right words, "The truth is, you used to be a very, very formidable person, but you understand, the stronger a person is, the more enemies they have, and you are no exception. You’ve lost your memory now, and to those enemies, you’ve become a cripple, or they might think you’re dead, which is why your family has been safe. But I’m sure many of your family members are being watched right now.

If I rashly tell you everything about your family and one day you can’t help but go to them, your enemies will easily find out you’re not dead, and the consequences that follow will be terrible. For the sake of your family, I hope you can be a bit more mature, improve yourself, and learn more.

When the time is right, I’ll tell you everything, okay?"

"Is it really that serious? Zhiqiu, I suspect you’re pulling my leg," said Long Chen, half-believing, half-doubting.

Ye Zhiqiu nearly cried upon hearing this.

Big brother, after all this fabrication, can’t you at least mostly believe me?

"Are you even my fiancé anymore? Ah, I don’t want to live, not even my own fiancé trusts me, waaah."

Unable to hold back any longer, Ye Zhiqiu resorted to a woman’s ultimate weapon.
