Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 159 - 156 Heizi and Hypnosis

Recently, he kept calling her "little one," leaving her both amused and exasperated. If she weren’t worried about hurting his pride, she would have snapped back with, "Old man!"

"You started looking at me first!" Li Si retorted defiantly. She would never admit it, but lately, she found his charm increasingly irresistible.

"You!" He chuckled, pulling her closer. Glancing at the book cover, he asked, "Is this a romance novel?"

She nodded. "Yeah, are you interested?" Recently, she’d been obsessively reading Zhang Ailing’s novels, unable to put them down.

He shook his head. He was a grown man; how could he be interested in what he deemed childish girl stuff?

"Mochen, what do you think—any idea how Brother Long and Xia Yu’s DNA test is going?" Li Si’s curiosity got the better of her as she split her attention between him and the ongoing situation.

"They’ll let us know as soon as there’s news!" Leng Mochen had barely finished speaking when Long Wu pushed the door open in a rush, followed by Xia Yu, who looked pale and drained.

Li Si hurriedly stood up. "Brother Long, we were just talking about you! How did it go?"

Long Wu sighed heavily. "It’s not that fast. We’ll probably get the results in two or three days!"

He felt as if a fire were raging in his chest, stifling him, desperate for release, yet unsure of what to do.

He was terrified that if he let himself lose control again, he might lose Meng Meng once more.

In the end, he raced over here, hoping that even hearing their thoughts, or simply talking about it, might help ease his turmoil.

Leng Mochen instructed his secretary to bring in a few cups of coffee. Looking at the visibly upset Long Wu, he asked, "Long Wu, what happened?"

Knowing Long Wu so well, Leng Mochen was certain something significant had occurred. After all, Long Wu, typically self-assured and carefree, now had frustration plastered all over his face.

Xia Yu opened her mouth to speak, but Long Wu raised his hand to stop her. "It’s nothing, just getting impatient about waiting a few more days!"

Li Si’s eyes suddenly lit up. "Brother Long, I just remembered someone—do you remember your friend, Black Iron Tower? You should ask him for help!"

She still vividly recalled that large, stoic man, someone with a strong sense of justice. She believed if he got involved, some of the mysteries might unravel.

Long Wu smacked his forehead in frustration. "How could I forget about Heizi!" Caught up in the joy and confusion of finding Meng Meng, he had completely overlooked him. Quickly, he took out his phone and made the call.

Li Si gently pulled the tense Xia Yu to sit down. "It’s okay, relax!"

Xia Yu gave a grateful smile. "Thank you!"

On the other end of the line, Long Wu briefly explained the situation with Meng Meng. The person seemed to respond with a few brief words before hanging up.

Turning around, Long Wu grinned. "This Black Iron Tower’s even more anxious than I am! Let’s go to his workplace right now!"

The group piled into a car and drove to Black Iron Tower’s station. Before they even reached the entrance, Heizi, sporting a crew cut and uniform, came running out, looking a mix of excitement and complexity.

Long Wu parked the car, and as they stepped out, Heizi scanned the group quickly before his gaze finally settled on Xia Yu. He scrutinized her intently, from head to toe.

"Su Meng! Do you remember me?"

His voice trembled with anticipation. Instincts told him the woman before him was her, despite her unfamiliarity and changed temperament. Yet, the posture that came from her years of dance training hadn’t changed.

For so many years, Su Meng’s disappearance had become an unsolved case weighing on him after he became a police officer.

Back then, Long Wu had gone mad searching for her everywhere. But she disappeared as if into thin air. In his years handling cases, big and small, many mysteries were unraveled.

But in the dead of night, he would always think of this case. It was a thorn in his heart—how could he solve everyone else’s cases, but not this one, so close to home?

Seeing Meng Meng now, her face blank with confusion and her eyes devoid of recognition, sent an ache through his heart. A grown man like him couldn’t help but feel crushed.

Long Wu placed a hand on his shoulder. "Heizi, let’s talk in your office. There’s more we need to tell you there!"

Heizi collected himself, regaining his upright and principled demeanor. "Alright, let’s go inside!" His eyes, however, stayed locked on Xia Yu.

In the office, after hearing their explanation, Heizi fell silent for a moment before asking, "So what you’re saying is that Su Meng may have had an accident back then, and her amnesia could either be physiological or psychological.

When we work cases, we sometimes use hypnotism to recover lost fragments of memory. We can proceed with the DNA test first, and in parallel, try hypnotism."

"Will hypnosis hurt her in any way?" Long Wu asked, clearly concerned.

Heizi shook his head. "No, a hypnotist’s role is merely to help strengthen her memory!"

Xia Yu nervously gripped Li Si’s hand. Her mind was a blank slate. Since waking up, her memories only started from Yang Dashun’s household. If she could retrieve her lost past, she might finally learn her true identity.

From the moment she regained consciousness, everyone around her insisted she was Xia Yu, a native of that humble village. But deep down, she knew she wasn’t. She felt she belonged to a city, not a rural village. She didn’t know how to cook using a wood-fired stove and was utterly clueless about farming.

Furthermore, her soft, fair skin was unlike the village girls’ faces, often marked with broken capillaries. Her hands were smooth, lacking the rough calluses borne of farmwork. She spoke fluent Mandarin, in stark contrast to the villagers’ heavy dialects. She was an outlier.

Li Sian smiled at her reassuringly. "Don’t be afraid! We’re all here for you!"

Xia Yu was eventually taken into a room by the hypnotist. After the door shut, Li Si glanced at Leng Mochen, leaned closer, and whispered in his ear, "Mochen, if this really works to recover memories, maybe you should try it too!"

Leng Mochen gave her a complicated look. Then, with a calm expression, he replied, "I feel fine the way I am now. If I recover my past memories, what if I remember everything but forget about you? Hmm?"

Li Si’s breath caught. That was true—what if he regained his memories and thought about his ex-girlfriend instead? That wouldn’t do. He was hers!

"Forgetting me is not an option! Let’s go sit over there and wait!" She hurriedly changed the topic, tugging him forward. She didn’t notice the mischievous glint in his eyes.

Long Wu paced back and forth anxiously, awaiting the results of both tests. Finally, Heizi returned, clutching a report in his hand.

Long Wu rushed toward him, his voice tight with tension. "Is it her?"

Heizi, barely restraining his emotions, nodded forcefully. "It’s her—she’s Su Meng!"

The two men embraced tightly, silently conveying the overwhelming relief and joy of the moment. They didn’t need words—it was enough.

Li Si, standing aside, found her emotions surging as well. She hadn’t expected that an unintentional act of kindness would lead to such an explosive outcome. It reaffirmed her belief that doing good deeds was always worth it—what goes around comes around, and fate had its own plan.

Leng Mochen wrapped an arm around her. Seeing her deep in thought, he winked playfully. "You really are like a modern-day Lei Feng!"

Li Si recalled how she’d jokingly said, "Call me Lei Feng!" back when they first met, and she couldn’t help laughing along.

Heizi walked over to Li Si. "Young lady, I heard you helped Su Meng? What exactly happened back then?" (To be continued.
