No matter what Ling Tianya said, Zhang Ke maintained her composure.
Eventually, Zhang Ke looked at Ling Tianya seriously and said, “I’m sorry teacher, but I can’t disobey my boss’s orders. He was the one who ordered me to hypnotize you. Without his permission, I am not allowed to unlock your memories. I advise you not to try to unlock it yourself. The migraine is only causing you pain. Right now, it’s not wise to torture your own body and mind.”
With that, Zhang Ke left the room and locked it on her way out.
Zhang Ke leaned against the door. Her chest felt stuffy, and she was torn between two sides. It was a struggle inside her and it made her uncomfortable and extremely guilty.
She felt guilty towards her boss, as well as to Ling Tianya.
So, why did men have feelings and emotions? If she had no heart, she won’t be in such agony now.
In the basement, the plastic surgeon was fixing the jaw of the man who looked exactly like Gu Zhiqian.
The man’s gaze was stern and he looked menacing. The plastic surgeon held his breath. He didn’t dare to be careless and he carried out his work meticulously.
At this moment, a woman with bandages over her face walked over and stared at the man’s face. “I heard you brought Ling Tianya here?” she asked.
The woman’s voice was hoarse. It wasn’t a sweet voice at all.
The man looked over at the woman and his voice was low. “Don’t go bother her.”
“Hmph! She is in my territory now! Why am I not allowed to bother her?” The woman was obviously indignant, and her eyes were filled with hatred for Ling Tianya.
“Anyway, no means no!” The man suddenly raised his voice and the plastic surgeon’s hands trembled. He nearly ruined the jaw that he had just fixed.
The woman bit her lip and her gaze was fired up as well. “Look at me now! She wouldn’t be able to recognize who I am anyway! She is a prisoner here, not a guest! Why else would you have her locked up all the time?”
The man’s jaw was finally back to normal now. He reached out and gently massaged his chin from side to side as he glared at the woman who was still covered in bandages. “I brought her here so that she would be far away from the Ruan family and from Ruan Zeyan. Don’t you understand why I did that?”
The woman was stunned. Subconsciously, she touched her face and the bandages.
He continued, “Remember this! Ling Tianya is the woman I love. Even if she doesn’t want to now, she will definitely be my woman in the future. You better treat her with respect, you hear me?”
The woman gritted her teeth in silence. She was supposed to respect Ling Tianya?
Fat chance! Over her dead body!
“Did you hear me?” The man raised his voice again, and he stared into the woman’s eye warningly.
“I heard you!” the woman said indignantly and reluctantly.
“Good, now go back to your room. You need to rest and heal up. You can remove your bandages after a few days.”
“Oh.” The woman seemed to be very afraid of the man, but it was a little different from how the boys at KSI were afraid of their boss. She treated him like an elder that someone younger should respect.
The woman turned and left the basement as the man stared at her from behind. He couldn’t see the sadness and melancholy in her eyes.
The man returned to the room and changed into a fresh set of clothes. Suddenly, he received a call from the Gu family.
“Zhiqian? When are you coming home?” it was Gu Zhiqian’s mother on the other end of the phone.
The man looked at himself in the mirror and flashed a bright smile. “I’m getting ready to leave. I will definitely be home before dinner. Wait for me before you start.”
