Chapter 199: Chapter 199 - Amnesia strikes again

Haolei gently held the young man as he sobbed his heart out. Looking down at his shaggy black hair, he couldn’t help but kiss the top of his head gently. ’I’ll never let anyone hurt you... ever...’

Jung snuggled deep into his embrace, wailing. "brother..."

Just hearing him address that, Haolei felt a weird sense of happiness. He had always been a single child, but weirdly, so he had a feeling that he had a brother somewhere. Sometimes in his dream, he would hear someone call him brother, lovingly. he would feel someone hug him softly. He never knew who those were.

’Now I actually have a brother.... Haha... wait until I tell all my friends. Especially that lai. I’ll rub it in his face, showing off my cute little brother.’ He thought with a small smile on his face.

By then Jung had stopped sobbing. He pulled away a bit and looked up at him with his wet, limpid black eyes.

Haolei gently cupped his cheeks and wiped away his tear stains.

"Brother.... Thank you for appearing in my life."

Haolei shook his head. "Thank you for appearing in my life. Somehow you complete me...." He combed through his matted back hair. "Why don’t I give you a haircut? Hmm?"

Jung nodded gently. "Cut it as short as possible. It gets harder to manage the longer it gets."

The young lad had shoulder-length, slightly curly hair that was prone to matting.

Haolei used the bowl of water he bought to help soak his matts. Slowly, he combed through all of them one by one, making sure not to tug on his hair.

Comfortable silence prevailed in between them.

Haolei silently chopped his hair. so many questions swam through Haolei’s mind. he wanted to know what had happened in that house. Not just him, even his colleagues were urging him to investigate Jung. He had been pushing it away for a reason that he was still recovering.

’Is it too soon to ask those questions? What if he gets scared and pulls away from me?’

But if he didn’t get the answers as to what happened back in that house he will be pulled away from the case. He did not want that. He personally wanted to fuck up that person who hurt his beloved brother. He wanted to bring justice to all the suffering Jung had to go through.

"Jung... can you answer a few of my questions?"

He felt the young man’s shoulder freeze up.

"How old are you?"

"fifteen...." He softly whispered.

"do you remember what happened in that house? Take your time and tell me everything you know...... the killer is still not found. If you can give us any information, we would catch him before he hurts anyone else."

Eric’s eyes widened slightly. ’I’m the killer. I killed him but why are they still searching for me? don’t they know I did it....’ His mind reeled slowly. As of now he did not wish to go to jail so he decided to lie about it.

He used his trademark skill.

Amnesia.

"I... I don’t know.... I don’t remember anything much.... I just recall someone saying my fifteenth birthday was three days ago... that’s all..." he shook his head slightly. He even had a head injury to justify his amnesia.

"you... you can’t remember anything? What about your name?"

Eric shook his head. "you called me Jung so I thought you knew me......"

Haolei’s hand froze whilst combing his hair. He hurriedly tied it up in a bun and ran to the bedroom to make a cal.

From the hall, Eric was able to hear his anxious voice talking to the doctor about his memory loss. He did not know what the doctor said but that seemed to have assured Haolei.

He came out of the bedroom with a soft smile on his face. "the doctor said there was nothing wrong with your head ct. you probably just have short-term memory loss. But you have to tell me if you have any kind of pain in your head, got it?"

Eric seriously nodded. in his last life, he passed away because of the tumor developed because of his head trauma. He did not wish to die so early in this life as well, so he carefully made sure to check his health in this life.

Haolei went back to grooming his hair.

By the end of his care, Eric was left with a short hair that came down to his ears. The top part, near his forehead, was slightly longer, covering his eyebrows. But it didn’t bother him or poke his eyes.

Haolei held up a mirror to his face. "Do you like it? Or do you want me to shorten the length even more?"

"This is good." Eric smiled back at him. Glancing back he peered into his brother’s unwavering eyes. "I’m sorry I don’t remember anything much."

"it’s okay. You just tell me if you remember anything. Just about anything."

Eric softly gripped his hand. "I heard a name. I think he is my friend... can you find him for me?"

"Who is it?"

"Bai Yuri..."

He watched Haolei visibly freeze. "Bai.... Yuri? You know fi him?"

"I only heard his name vaguely in my memory. Is it not possible to find him?"

Haolei thought about it for a bit and typed something into his phone. "Do you recognize him?" He held it up to his face.

Eric peered at Bai’s familiar face with a small smile. his lover was dressed in a three-piece suit and looked quite mature for his age. "Hmm he looks familiar. I think I’m connected to him somehow."

Haolei stood up anxiously, scratching his head. "You might actually be the missing Bai child. We didn’t get a DNA testing on you or anything. But you.... The child most likely would be seventeen by now... so..."

Eric just watched him in confusion. ’Eh? What is this? Bai has a brother? And he is missing? Why didn’t I know of this? Bai only named his parents. He never mentioned his brother...... oh... fuck. What if be the slightest chance I might be really his brother!!! Then it will become incest!! No mommy no! I want my lover! I don’t want I’m as my brother...’ his smile went away immediately.

Haolei gently cupped his face. "don’t worry about it, for now, I’ll find out about his family and let you know... as if now... just stay here. I’ll take good care of you. I know this Is not the best house to live in... but I have a new house in the city. If you want, you can come and stay with me."

Eric said he would think about it. As if now, he was not sure where Bai was. He wanted to be close to him for sure. Most likely Bai is somewhere in an urban area getting the best treatment. Ba did not look like a normal boy he looked like a spoiled rich boy.

’Certainly, he might be in some VIP ward in a very high-end hospital....’

Haolei gently cupped his face. "Its going to be okay."

"Brother Hao... can I ask you something? What actually happened to me. How did I get wounded?"

Haolei suddenly hugged him tightly. "Some bad man hurt you. But don’t worry I will find that person and throw them in jail for you."

"He escaped? That man?" Eric looked up in shock.

"We didn’t find any traces of him escaping that house but he just disappeared."

Eric hugged his waist tightly. "Can you tell me more?"

"That house is where we found you. Do you recognize it?

Eric shook his head.

"In that distance in the most isolated ae in a house without any gates. We found your blood traces leading to that place. I inspected that place for just a common domestic abuse case but we found a lot of.... Dead people in there."

"How many?" Eric looked up at him hopefully.

"Thirty."

Eric frowned slightly. He counted about twenty-four trees in the house and there were five corpses under that pond. How did it come up to thirty?

He did not know if it well to ask any more. So, he simply just smiled and nodded.

"Do you remember living there?"

Frowning Eric shook his head. "I don’t remember anything... I only remember Bai Yuri’s name..."
