Manager Tian was also puzzled.

"But what on earth is going on?"

"Do you think they were sleepwalking, then opened the door and ran out while I was asleep, and then put sand in their own shoes?"

"But they also said water was splashed on their faces; who splashed it?"

The attendant let her imagination run wild: "Maybe they were thirsty at the time, but in a sleepwalking state, they didn't know how to drink water, and all the water splashed onto their faces?"

Manager Tian didn't say whether it was right or wrong.

He told the attendant to hurry and hand over the shift to the day shift.

And to make the matter clear.

Since they weren't reporting it to the police, the room had to be cleaned up.

Cao Jing and Lu Yu, sitting in the car, no longer had the high spirits and confidence they had when they got off the car last night; they were both somewhat restless.

Both of them felt very guilty.

What happened in the middle of the night yesterday was truly too bizarre.

Cao Jing thought of the old days.

Lu Yu also thought of the old days.

She thought of Chuntao, who didn't know which direction to run in the garden.

She had thrown her into the pond at home, where many man-eating fish were kept.

She certainly wouldn't come back to life.

But at this moment, Lu Yu felt a chill down her back.

She confirmed that neither she nor Cao Jing had been sleepwalking.

But how to explain the bizarre phenomenon that occurred in the room?

Amidst these wild thoughts, they arrived at the Xiang Yang Food Factory, where Lu Qiaoge was waiting for them at the gate.

Lu Qiaoge welcomed them into the conference room with a polite and courteous smile.

Lu Yun, who was sitting in the conference room, also slowly stood up.

The moment Cao Jing saw Lu Yun, her face turned exceptionally pale.

But Lu Yu recovered her composure relatively quickly.

She rushed toward Lu Yun.

Cao Jing also walked toward Lu Yun step by step.

Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge watched this scene quietly.

They didn't expect to get any useful information from these two,

and their reactions didn't matter.

Lu Qiaoge was mainly concerned about her second aunt's emotions.

Lu Yun gently pushed away Lu Yu, who was hugging her.

She then looked at Cao Jing, who was walking over with teary eyes.

Qiao Ge had told her that she had been harmed by these two women, but they were currently suffering from a lack of evidence.

Because she had lost all her memories.

Before coming, Lu Qiaoge had instructed Lu Yun that if she couldn't remember, she should treat them as strangers.

As for other emotions, there was no need to deliberately restrain them.

Lu Qiaoge walked up and introduced: "Second Aunt, this is Aunt Cao Jing, and this is Aunt Lu Yu, just as I told you last night. You two sit down and chat about the old days; who knows, it might be helpful for your memory."

She then asked Cao Jing: "Are you sure this is your former comrade-in-arms, Lu Yun?"

Cao Jing also wanted to say no, and even wanted to deny it when she was being investigated, but since her mother, brother, and younger brother all acknowledged it, what right did she have to deny it?

She nodded and said with a forced smile: "Yes, she is your second aunt, Lu Yun."

Lu Qiaoge asked Lu Yu again: "Aunt Lu, what about you?"

Lu Yu said with a choked voice: "We didn't know each other for long, and my memory has actually become blurred, but now that I see her in person, I suddenly have an impression. But actually, it doesn't matter whether Cao Jing and I confirm it or not; it's mainly up to you to confirm."

"Then you two talk; I'll sit on the side. Don't worry about me, just pretend we don't exist."

She then said to Qin Hengzhi: "You go ahead and get busy."

Qin Hengzhi indeed had things to do.

He didn't think about telling Lu Qiaoge about last night's incident; after all, that girl always made him guess. He didn't have time today, so he would take Qiao Ge out to play on Sunday and guess then.

In any case, those little things couldn't run away!

Qin Hengzhi drove away with a smile on his face.

Lu Qiaoge stood by the window, listening to Cao Jing talk about the old days. Lu Yu didn't say much, but she had just thanked Lu Yun solemnly for saving her life back then.

It certainly wasn't anything useful, but it wouldn't be a fabrication either, as some things could be investigated.

Lu Yun listened quietly, occasionally asking questions. Although she was a stranger to the two, she was very polite.

Cao Jing and Lu Yu looked at each other calmly, feeling a sense of relief in their hearts.

She couldn't remember; this was true.

Thinking of what the two had secretly discussed, although it was very risky, if handled well, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Before Cao Jing could speak, Lu Qiaoge suddenly asked Lu Yu: "Aunt Lu, I heard that there was a large pond in the Chen family's garden at Chenjiabao on Dayu Island, and it was filled with man-eating fish."

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly looked up at Lu Qiaoge, who was standing by the window.

After a few breaths, she said: "Yes, they were all man-eating fish."

Lu Yun suddenly stiffened, and a few images flashed before her eyes, but before she could look closely, they vanished without a trace, as if it had just been an illusion.

Although Lu Yun had always been at the very bottom, precisely because of this, she was exceptionally sensitive to certain things.

She felt that what she had remembered was related to the man-eating fish at Chenjiabao that Qiao Ge had mentioned.

However, she was also very good at concealing things.

The images just now were not suitable to be spoken of now, and besides, she didn't know where to begin.

She could only remain silent for the time being.

But her heart felt as if it were churning.

Cao Jing didn't want to delay and asked Lu Qiaoge: "I'd like to take your second aunt for a walk nearby; I wonder if that's alright?"

Lu Qiaoge shook her head: "No!"

She then softened her tone: "My second aunt doesn't know you, and you aren't familiar with this place, so I certainly can't be at ease. Let's just talk here. When there's nothing left to say, it'll be about noon, and then we'll treat the two aunts to a meal at a restaurant."

Cao Jing's expression changed, and she said unhappily: "We're not in the mood to go to a restaurant. How about letting your second aunt go to the guesthouse with us?"

Before Lu Qiaoge could speak, Lu Yun stood up with an apologetic look on her face: "Thank you for coming to see me, but after talking for so long, I still can't remember anything. Even if we were close back then, to me now, you are still strangers, so it wouldn't be right to disturb you. Thank you both again!"

With Lu Qiaoge there, the two couldn't take Lu Yun away. Lu Qiaoge sent them to the guesthouse and said to them at the gate: "Aunt Cao, Aunt Lu, you don't look very well. Get a good rest today, and come to my house for a meal tomorrow. My grandmother has been looking forward to your visit."

Little Cangcang should be back by tomorrow, right?

I wonder what news he can bring.

Cao Jing and Lu Yu indeed hadn't rested well. Now that they had seen Lu Yun and confirmed that she had indeed lost her memory, they felt relieved and needed a good rest.

Besides, coming to see Lu Yun was only human nature, and there was nothing to feel guilty about.

The two agreed with a smile, said a few words to Lu Qiaoge, and turned to enter the guesthouse.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Lu Yu's back and didn't turn away until she couldn't see her anymore.

Lu Yu had been saved by Lu Yun in the dungeon.

It is said that she was locked up with her family at the time. Logically speaking, the second aunt was her savior, and they had no conflict of interest. Moreover, it had only been a few short days; how did Lu Yu, a poor fishing girl, have the courage to harm someone together with Cao Jing?

And harm the person who had once saved her.

The important thing is that she had lived with a clear conscience for so many years.

Even when seeing the second aunt, she didn't feel a shred of guilt!
