At this moment, Hao Jian was like a lamb lost from its flock, unable to find his way, unsure of which direction to go. His eyes were filled with confusion and perplexity, resembling a drunk man wandering down an empty alley. If only he could, he'd continue drinking a few more bottles and keep moving forward.
After threatening Hao Jian with a few words, Ye Yiyun saw Hao Jian fall into silence and assumed that his words had scared him, so he smiled and returned to Moon's side.
Ye Yiyun asked, "Moon, are you alright?"
Moon shook her head, then recounted the whole story to Ye Yiyun. When Ye Yiyun heard Moon mention that Hao Jian claimed he used to know her, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He no longer listened to Moon's story, calmed her down and then walked towards Hao Jian.
Ye Yiyun glared at Hao Jian with intimidation, threatening him, "Don't let me see you again!"
"Who do you think you are?" Hao Jian retorted defiantly.
Ye Yiyun was about to make a move on Hao Jian but was suddenly stopped by Moon from behind. Helpless, he had to restrain himself, not wanting to lose face in front of Moon.
He continued to threaten Hao Jian, "If I see you in front of Moon again, just you wait!"
Hao Jian completely ignored this pesky little fly. If Moon weren't here, he wouldn't mind taking care of Ye Yiyun directly.
But seeing how Moon seemed to rely on Ye Yiyun now, Hao Jian decided to temporarily put up with Ye Yiyun. Otherwise, Moon would definitely be upset.
Ever since Moon had disappeared, she turned into this. What exactly happened during that time, Hao Jian still didn't know, so he had to find out everything thoroughly, and Ye Yiyun was certainly the breakthrough.
Hao Jian ignored Ye Yiyun and walked right past him. Ye Yiyun tried to grab Hao Jian, but how could he catch him with his mere strength, not even touching a hair on Hao Jian?
Hao Jian reached Moon.
Hao Jian asked, "Moon, do you really not remember me?"
Moon shook her head.
Moon wasn't someone who lied. Whenever she did in front of Hao Jian, she would give herself away, so there was no way she could lie to him and not be detected, even as an amnesiac.
Hao Jian was very sure that what Moon said was true just now, which meant Moon really didn't recognize or remember him anymore.
Hao Jian gradually lowered his head, then silently turned around and left.
He didn't know why Moon had become like this, nor what had happened, but he was determined to uncover all the causes and effects clearly.
Ye Yiyun initially wanted to say something, but when he saw Hao Jian turn and leave, he kept quiet and walked over to Moon.
He said to Moon, "Moon, let's go."
Moon nodded and then followed Ye Yiyun away.
Hao Jian didn't look back, because if he saw Ye Yiyun's smug expression, he couldn't help himself from making a move.
Hao Jian was very clear at this moment—from the surprise of encountering Moon to the realization that she had lost her memory and forgotten him, his feelings took a complete 180-degree turn.
Now that Moon had lost her memory, having forgotten him completely, continuing to entangle himself in this would be a waste, as amnesia can't just be cured suddenly. It's likely that only after everything has been thoroughly investigated will some things become clear.
Huaxia's medical practices emphasize prescribing the right medicine for the ailment, so without understanding the condition, Hao Jian had no way to help Moon; after all, he didn't even know what had been happening to her during this time.
Hao Jian walked alone, bowed his head, and pondered over some things.
And Moon followed Ye Yiyun.
At this moment, Moon also walked with her head down, contemplating some things. Everything that happened today seemed magical to her—the way a stranger she met on the road claimed to know her and even said her name. At first, she thought the person was nothing but a lecherous rogue, but after a brief interaction, that feeling dissipated.
She had a feeling that the other wasn't approaching her out of lust or malice, but if it wasn't because of that, then what could it be? This was precisely what she couldn't figure out.
Moon asked Ye Yiyun, "Senior brother, do you think that person really knows me?"
"Impossible!" Ye Yiyun immediately replied.
In fact, when Moon recounted the incident to him on their way, he already viewed Hao Jian as an enemy; otherwise, he wouldn't have threatened Hao Jian to stay away from Moon.
If it were just any ordinary rogue or scoundrel, he would just teach them a lesson, and they'd never dare approach Moon again. But from Hao Jian's eyes, he seemingly noticed that Hao Jian knew about Moon's past, had known her before, so he had to decisively prevent Hao Jian from appearing before Moon ever again.
If Moon were to find out about certain things, if everything were to come to light, if all these were exposed, then the consequences would be something he alone could not bear.
Moon said again, "But I feel like I have seen him before, as if I know him."
At this moment, Ye Yiyun's face turned a bit unsightly: "I said you don't know him, then you don't. Do you not even believe what your senior brother says? Do you think I would lie to you?"
Moon was suddenly too scared to continue questioning, lowering her head like a child who had done something wrong.
However, in her heart, there was always a question: Who is she, where does she come from? Although someone had given her an answer, she was still confused. If she didn't personally verify those answers, she felt like an enigma herself.
Ye Yiyun seemed to sense Moon's inner thoughts, so he apologized for his earlier behavior and then said, "Moon, I've always known you're very confused, but what I've told you is absolutely true. You are a daughter of an elder in our Tianwang Fort, but you lost your memory due to a serious injury. I don't want to tell you about your past, nor will anyone else tell you, because they don't want you to be too heartbroken. As for that guy just now, I've watched you grow up. You've never left Tianwang Fort since you were a child, so how could you possibly know him, and how could he know you?"
After hearing this, Moon's doubts clearly faded, and she simply said "Oh."
Ye Yiyun then said, "Moon, you have to trust your senior brother; when have I ever tricked you? As for that person just now, it was obvious he was up to no good, trying to fool you. Do you think your senior brother has ever lied to you?"
Moon shook her head and said, "No."
"Exactly, since your senior brother has never lied to you, why would you believe a liar!" Ye Yiyun said.
"Hmm, I trust senior brother," Moon said.
Ye Yiyun smiled lightly: "That's good, then let's go watch the junior brothers' Kung Fu competition."
"Okay," Moon said.
Ye Yiyun then took Moon to other arenas in Tianwang Fort to watch the junior brothers.
But in his heart, Ye Yiyun let out a big sigh of relief. Although this girl seemed a bit naive after losing her memory, it still took some effort to deceive her. If she were to regain any memory, everything would be ruined.
Ye Yiyun wiped the sweat from his heart.
...
Meanwhile, Hao Jian was still walking slowly, alone, contemplating some matters in his mind.
Gradually, he seemed to have figured out something.
He needed to find Feng Shiyuan, since Feng Shiyuan sold information and would naturally know something about Ye Yiyun, and maybe a bit about Moon, too. So what he needed most now was to locate Feng Shiyuan.
Feng Shiyuan went around looking for clients and business, so it wasn't hard to find him. Hao Jian just walked a few circles among the crowd and then saw Feng Shiyuan.
Initially, it was Feng Shiyuan who spotted Hao Jian first. As soon as he saw Hao Jian, he eagerly ran over, thinking of him as a major client. Previously, he had made a generous profit from Hao Jian for selling just a bit of information, so he was more than willing to have Hao Jian seek him out.
He rushed over and asked, "Fancy seeing you here, friend!"
"Fancy seeing you too!" Hao Jian said.
But now he didn't have time to reminisce with Feng Shiyuan; he needed to gather some information as soon as possible.
Hao Jian said, "I coincidentally have something I need your help with; I need you to investigate two people for me."
Feng Shiyuan instantly beamed with joy upon seeing that real business was at hand.
"Go ahead, I, Feng Shiyuan, am all-knowing, and there's nothing I don't know."
Hao Jian said, "The two people I need you to investigate are Ye Yiyun, and the girl next to him named Moon. Find out everything about them and tell me!"
Feng Shiyuan looked puzzled: "Ye Yiyun, huh, you actually want to investigate Ye Yiyun? He's one of the most notable figures in the recent Ancient Martial Arts competition, this is..."
Hao Jian knew what Feng Shiyuan was implying with that remark. Without hesitation, he took out a wad of cash and tossed it to Feng Shiyuan.
Feng Shiyuan's eyes lit up at the sight of the money. He hadn't misjudged; he thought of Hao Jian as a wealthy tycoon, and Hao Jian certainly was a wealthy tycoon, casually giving away such a large sum without blinking, undoubtedly someone with so much money they didn't know how to spend it.
Such a person had to be kept close and frequently contacted; with every successful deal, his pocket became fuller.
Feng Shiyuan beamed with joy, then said, "Rest assured, leave this matter to me. I'll get to the bottom of it and tell you everything you want to know!"
