224: C224 The Video in the Safe

C224 The Video in the Safe

Almost instantly, Soong Yiren's entire body was covered in a layer of cold sweat.

She suddenly turned her head and looked outside the glass door.

Because there was sand, she could not see clearly. However, the voice just now was clearly Chu Mingyao!

Soong Yiren quickly closed her small safe and then quietly walked behind the glass door.

Outside, the man said again, "You have an account here?!"

Soong Yiren held the glass door handle tightly. At that moment, a soft female voice sounded, "Director Chu, yes! I did not have a place to stay after I entered the industry. Almost all of them were rented houses, so I opened a house here and put some jewelry in case I lost them."

It was Su Mi's voice! Soong Yiren realized that she had made a mistake and her raised heart slowly fell back to her chest.

She heard Chu Mingyao say again, "Looks like you have saved a lot? Continue to work hard."

He was outside, looking kind but also maintaining a safe distance.

Su Mi clearly knew her own limitations, so she only politely said 'thank you, Director Chu' and did not say anything else.

Soong Yiren returned to the safe and tried the number she had just guessed.

When she pressed the last one, her palms were full of sweat.

With a ding, the safe door opened.

She was stunned, as if she couldn't believe that everything had come so easily.

In her mother's safe... There were a lot of things, divided into several layers.

There were equity, property, investment, and investment contracts from foreign clubs.

Soong Yiren quickly went to the top floor and did not find anything. She looked at the jewelry and collectibles below and still did not find a USB or a phone that could store videos.

At the bottom floor, there was a pocket watch.

Soong Yiren had seen this pocket watch before. When she was young, her mother often put it beside her hand and almost lost it. After finding it, she did not see it again.

It turned out that it was placed in the safe by her mother.

However, although the pocket watch seemed to be an antique, why did her mother put it alone on the first floor?

Soong Yiren was puzzled and picked up the pocket watch to carefully examine it.

The pocket watch that was more than a hundred years ago was still able to move at this moment. Soong Yiren looked at the time and it was actually exactly the same as the display of the phone!

However, the pocket watch was a pocket watch. There was no trace of it being pried open. How could there be a hidden video?

She searched the safety deposit box and even flipped through every document, but there was still no trace of the video!

Could it be that three years ago, Soong Ziheng misheard?

Soong Yiren felt a cloud of fog in her heart, and as the safe opened, it became more and more intense.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Soong Ziheng, "Ziheng, are you sure that mother told you three years ago that there was a video in her safe?"

At this moment, ten thousand miles away, it was early in the morning. Soong Ziheng sat down. In a quiet room.

In front of him was a middle-aged man wearing casual clothes and eyes. He said to Soong Ziheng, "Come, read this to me."

Soong Ziheng shook his head and gestured with his hands, indicating that he still could not make a sound.

The man smiled and said, "Then I will read it to you... That day, when I came home from school, my mother suddenly rushed into my room..."

At that moment, Soong Ziheng's phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Soong Yiren. He asked about it. It was about three years ago.

He quickly replied: "Yeah, sister, Mom said she put the video on, but she didn't have the time to say the password."

After he replied, the man on the other side continued reading.

Soong Ziheng's hand started to grab the armrests of the chairs on both sides. He was surrounded by a strong sense of fear.

He thought of the nightmare three years ago. In the nightmare, his sister died, his mother jumped off the building in front of him, and he lost his voice overnight.

Countless chaotic scenes flashed through his mind, and he painfully covered his head.

The man in front of him continued to read the 'story' that Soong Ziheng had written before. It was like a magic spell that tore apart the gap of three years and ruthlessly displayed the bloody past in front of him!

"Ah!" Soong Ziheng let out a low and hoarse cry of pain.

The man did not continue. Instead, he held Soong Ziheng's hand tightly.

He felt as if he had fallen into an abyss that he could not see the bottom of. Soong Ziheng gasped for air, and his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.

Just now, an image even flashed through his mind.

In the image, his mother and what he didn't remember before, calmly came in front of him, and even told him about videos and passwords.

Instead, his mother, whose face was covered in blood, fled in panic and fell in front of him.

Chu Mingyao was like a devil from hell. He held a bloody wrangle in his hand and hit his mother hard. Then, he lifted his mother's body and pushed her down from the balcony.

At that time, he looked at everything in horror. He rushed forward to fight Chu Mingyao, but he pushed him away, causing him to fall into the blood.

He still had his mother's blood in his hands. Chu Mingyao, who was in front of him, locked him with his scarlet eyes. He looked down and said word by word, "From today onwards, you will become a mute!"

With a dull buzzing sound in his head, Soong Ziheng's vision went black and he fainted.

When he woke up again, not long after, Soong Ziheng found that his whole body was still very soft.

The psychiatrist in front of him opened his mouth. "You know how to talk, but when your consciousness was at its weakest, you were hypnotized. That's all."

Soong Ziheng looked at him and pursed his lips, not saying anything.

"Let's call it a day." The doctor patted his shoulder. "Take it slow. Don't rush."

Soong Ziheng nodded. He made a gesture of thanks and left the clinic.

On the way back, he picked up his phone and saw Soong Yiren's message. "Ziheng, did you really remember correctly? I guessed her mother's safe password, but I didn't see the video when I opened it!"

Soong Ziheng's hand trembled slightly. He typed quickly, "Sister, I might have remembered wrongly."

After sending the message, he looked at the gray sky outside. He felt a sense of defeat that he had never felt before.

Gong Lingye was right. He was weak, so weak that he saw his mother die in front of him. However, he was successfully hypnotized and remembered as his mother jumping off a building.

He scratched his hair in pain. He wanted to speak, but he could not make a sound.

After a long time, the car stopped. Someone patted his shoulder: "We're at the terminal."2

Only then did Soong Ziheng realize that he was in a completely unfamiliar place.

That desolate feeling tightly surrounded him. He took out his phone and opened his contact list.

A name jumped into his eyes - Gong Lingye.

He did not know why he would ask for help when he was at his most hesitant. He had only met his future brother-in-law once. However, he still sent a message to Gong Lingye.

"I am Soong Ziheng. You are right. I am very confused and don't know what to do."

Gong Lingye replied. "I'll take the nearest flight to find you."
