Chapter 916: A Familiar Stranger (10）

“You’re right. At that time, that was what I was thinking.” Zhang Ke affirmed Ling Tianya’s words. “However, I underestimated how strong your feelings for Ruan Zeyan were. Therefore, when I hypnotized you, your brain and heart strongly resisted it. This rendered me unable to order you to kill Ruan Zeyan and the Ruan Family.”

“As for making you forget about Ruan Zeyan, that couldn’t be done either. Hypnosis could make your mind forget someone but your heart and body would not forget him. Especially since Ruan Zeyan is so important to you. Even if I forced you to forget him, you would once again fall in love with him and remember him. If I did that, the gains wouldn’t make up for the loss.”

Zhang Ke laughed lightly. “Plus, making you lose your memories was not the boss’s original plan. Therefore, I could only seal away part of your memory, seal the part of your memory of the things that happened after the car accident. The leader was worried that you would somehow regain the memories and therefore sent me to stay beside you as a spy. Every time, you got close to the memory and suffered a migraine, I would once again hypnotize you to reinforce the seal. However, I noticed that my hypnosis was becoming ineffective. The more intense your migraines, the stronger your perception of the memories.”

“What are the memories? Tell me!” Ling Tianya pressed, wanting to know what those memories were. Her natural instincts told her that those memories were not only important to her, but to Ruan Zeyan as well.

Zhang Ke stood up. “My apologies. I’ve already told you a lot, and I cannot tell you any more. However, don’t worry. As long as you stay here obediently, nothing will happen to you. I will continue to be your assistant and take care of you.”

After she was done speaking, Zhang Ke once again stood up. “The food has gotten cold. I’ll get someone to heat it up for you.”

Zhang Ke walked a couple of steps with the plate before turning around and picking up the rope. “I won’t leave this here in case you were thinking about doing something foolish. If the leader finds out, he will want to have words with me.”

Watching Zhang Ke take the rope away, there was a hint of despair in Ling Tianya’s eyes.

The door was once again locked by Zhang Ke from the outside. Ling Tianya knew that she had no way out. Even if she escaped, she didn’t know what kind of environment she would find on the outside nor where she was.

This feeling of helplessness made Ling Tianya exhausted. She lay down. There was still some pain in at nape of her neck. When Zhang Ke had injected her with the anesthesia, she was not at all prepared.

This was the first time she realized how strong Zhang Ke was. Her neck was probably bruised black and blue.

When Zhang Ke walked out of Ling Tianya’s room, a man stood at the end of the hallway waiting for her. She quickly walked forward and stood beside the man. “Leader,” she said quietly.

The man looked at the plate in Zhang Ke’s hand, his voice languid. “She’s refusing to eat?”

“We chatted for a while and the food went cold. I’m going to heat it up for her. Her stomach isn’t good and she gets a stomach ache if she eats cold things.”

The man narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Ke, his eyes flashed in a threatening manner. “Remember, you are only a chess piece that I placed by Ling Tianya. I am your master!”

Zhang Ke stood still and then answered with certainty. “That’s right. You are my master!”

Hearing Zhang Ke’s words, the man smiled sinisterly. “Go. Tell the kitchen to make some Xihu Sour Fish. She likes to eat that.”

“Yes, I’ll go right away.” Zhang Ke’s hands held the plate tightly and she quickly left.

The man took a couple of steps forward and stopped in front of Ling Tianya’s door.
