Chapter 52: The After-effects of Hypnosis

When Su Yan woke up, she had already returned to the room that the Yun family had prepared for her. Looking at the snow-white ceiling, Su Yan took a while to recover. The dizziness was still there, just not as strong. Holding her forehead, Su Yan slowly recalled what happened before she fainted.

“Hiss.” At the thought of this, Su Yan felt that it was strange. She had always been optimistic. If Shi Qing did not want to tell her about those things, she would naturally not force him.

But it was different then. At that time, her emotions were completely out of her control. Even now, when Su Yan turned her head to look, she was starting to suspect if she was the one at that time.

Hearing the noise in the house, Old Master Yun and Yun Chang rushed in. The moment they entered the house, they asked with concern, “How are you, Xixi? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

God knew that their hearts had almost stopped beating when Shi Qing had sent her in. He called the family doctor overnight to treat Su Yan. What made them even more worried was that the diagnosis showed that Su Yan was only unconscious due to exhaustion. Other than that, there were no other problems.

Now that Su Yan was awake, they heaved a sigh of relief.

“Grandpa, Third Uncle, what happened to me?”

Hearing Su Yan’s question, Old Master Yun and Yun Chang fell silent. Shi Qing had already told them about Su Yan’s problem and did not hide anything from them. After they heard about it, they had a plan. Although Shi Qing had chosen to hide it from Su Yan, it had to be said that this was the best solution so far.

After a while, Old Master Yun said seriously, “You’ve been too tired recently, so…”

Halfway through his sentence, he saw Su Yan looking at him helplessly. Old Master Yun paused for a moment and could only sigh. He sat by Su Yan’s bed.

“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but this matter is too bizarre. I’m afraid you won’t believe me.”

Su Yan still didn’t say anything. She just stared at Old Master Yun. After a while, Old Master Yun gave in and said, “Actually, there’s nothing that I can’t say.

“This is a side effect of being hypnotized.”

Su Yan was already six years old when Yun Yi entrusted her to Su Heng. Logically speaking, children of this age could already remember things, but Su Yan had no memories at all. Hence, Shi Qing had long suspected that Su Yan was hypnotized when she was young. That was why she could not remember anything.

With suspicion, Shi Qing began his investigation. The results of the investigation were indeed as Shi Qing had expected. Su Yan had been hypnotized, and the method of hypnosis was rather strange.

This time, Su Qian’s incident was too sudden and Su Yan saw Su Qian’s eyes. It recalled Su Yan’s memories.

After hearing Old Master Yun’s explanation, Su Yan was indeed stunned for a moment. It turned out that there really was such a mysterious thing in this world.

“Xixi, don’t be afraid.” Old Master Yun was rarely gentle. Meeting Su Yan’s eyes, Old Master Yun said, “We will investigate who hypnotized you and the purpose of hypnotizing you.”

Su Yan nodded in agreement. However, she was not optimistic about the investigation.

Her father, Yun Yi, had passed away in a strange manner back then. The Yun family and the Lu family had investigated for so many years, but they were still unable to find out anything. Su Yan could not be sure if the person who hypnotized her was the same person who killed her father.

But… if it was a group of people who killed her father and hypnotized her, why didn’t they kill her along with him?

But if they were not a group, what was their purpose?

In a daze, Su Yan felt as if a huge conspiracy was slowly unfolding. The person behind it was neither too fast nor too slow, slowly plotting for more than ten years. In fact, it was even longer. She just did not know what that person wanted.

Seeing that Su Yan’s emotions were stable and she seemed to be in a good state, Yun Chang and Old Master Yun felt relieved. The two of them said some comforting words to Su Yan before leaving Su Yan’s room one after another.

Once they were out of the door, Old Master Yun let out a long sigh. He held onto his youngest son, who was beside him, and said with a vicious look in his eyes, “If I catch the person behind the scenes, I will definitely destroy their reputation and make them wish they were dead.”

Yun Chang’s usually gentle face also had a hint of fierceness. “That’s right. Did they really think there’s no one left in our Yun family? That bunch of scoundrels dare to do these things!” After Yun Chang said that, he added, “Dad, Xixi will be transferred to Jing City. I will send people to protect Xixi in secret, as well as those people from the collateral branches…”

Old Master Yun wasn’t a ruthless person to begin with, and he was also used to taking into account old friendships, so it was inevitable that he would be more lenient towards those collateral relatives.

Now that he heard Yun Chang say that and recalled how those people had treated Su Yan the first time they met yesterday, he sneered and replied, “Those people should indeed be taught a lesson. Just do what you need to do. Don’t be afraid. If anything happens, I’ll cover for you.”
