Chapter 616: The young master can hear inner voices again! 32

~7 min read 1,347 words

What else can we do? Of course we solve it ahead of time.

Xu Li spoke fiercely, then regained her calm and said to Fei Yao, "Don't interfere with this any further—I'm hanging up."

"Solve it ahead of time... What does that mean?"

Fei Yao listened to the dial tone on the phone, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

He felt that the upcoming events had already slipped out of their original control.

——

"Cousin aunt......"

Jin Chen tapped his fingers on the tabletop, lowered his eyes in thought.

If so, then Xu Li's plan must be the same as Fei Yao's—all those years of scheming were solely for the Fu family's estate.

But what could make the entire Fee family hate the Fu family so much that mere bankruptcy isn't enough—they insist on leaving them dead or crippled?

What else, merely glossed over in the original plot, would cause Fu Zhenhua to risk everything at the last moment to send Fu Mu Ci abroad?

"What else do you know?"

Ren Jia Ming shook his head slowly, "I only know this much; most of the time when Fei Yao and Xu Li talk, they avoid me."

"You didn't go out today; you just slept at home—this is only your dream. Go back."

Jin Chen's fingertip twitched slightly before his eyes, then his motion suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something, his pupils trembling.

He immediately got up and left, driving back to the Fu family residence.

0731 was completely bewildered.

【Host! What's suddenly wrong with you?】

【That night I caught someone in the warehouse, I was puzzled—how did that person suddenly get a psychological suggestion implanted?】

Jin Chen pressed the accelerator, his gaze turning sharp ahead.

【Just now while I was removing the spell from Ren Jia Ming, I recalled that before the butler left the warehouse to call someone, the flashlight beam swayed several times across that person's face.】

He originally thought it was just to get a clear look at that person, but if that were all, there'd be no need for such eerie swaying.

He had merely been anxious to pry clues from that person's mouth, so he overlooked this.

【Oh my goodness! The butler is a bad person!!】

0731 trembled as he clung to his feeble self.

Humans are truly terrifying!

Being able to implant a psychological suggestion merely by using flashlight beams of varying frequencies shows the butler's expertise in hypnotic psychology is far beyond ordinary.

Jin Chen overtook several cars in succession, his eyes narrowing; many prior things now made sense.

Why did the Fu family hide so many servants without anyone discovering them? As long as the butler was part of Xu Li's layout, they could naturally keep them all concealed.

Aunt Song had known the truth for years yet never told anyone else—perhaps after she told the butler, he instructed her to keep it secret and kept her under control within the Fu family.

As long as she remained in the Fu family, there would always be a way to guard the secret.

The butler is probably the psychologist who often causes Fu Mu Ci to lose part of his memory.

Now the entire Fu family is too dangerous; he must quickly fetch Fu Mu Ci, for only by leaving the Fu family can he be safe.

Jin Chen forcibly cut what should have been a half‑hour drive down to over ten minutes; upon arriving at the Fu family estate and stepping out of the car, he had already returned to his usual composure, walking upstairs with ease.

He must not let the butler see through his flaw right now.

"Ci Bao?"

Jin Chen had just shouted upon entering the door when the young master lunged at him; he stepped back two steps to steady the person, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I, I have something to tell you."

Fu Mu Ci had seen that sticky note upon waking, so he wasn't upset by Jin Chen's departure, yet after not seeing each other for over an hour he still refused to leave the embrace.

Jin Chen then picked him up and sat on the sofa to listen to him speak.

"What's wrong?"

He cupped the young master's cheeks and noticed his eye rims were red, making him look pitiful.

"I've thought of some things."

Fu Mu Ci furrowed his brows deeply, striving to clear the thoughts in his mind.

During this period Jin Chen has been gradually treating him; the memories he had lost for no reason are now returning in the form of dreams.

"Xu Li, when she hit me as a child, I wanted to tell Father, but I soon forgot."

Fu Mu Ci simply could not fathom this.

He grew somewhat impatient, biting his thumb, then paused and said, "It seems there's a doctor, a white‑coat doctor, whom I often see."

"He makes me lose my memory."

"But I've never been able to see that doctor's face clearly."

"All I know is that Xu Li's relationship with that doctor should be good; they often chat openly in front of him without hesitation."

"Ci Bao, listen to me."

Upon hearing that Fu Mu Ci had been beaten as a child, Jin Chen felt both heartache and anger, but right now the most important thing is to bring Fu Mu Ci to his place first, then deal with Xu Li and the butler.

Meeting the gaze full of trust, Jin Chen then continued speaking.

"If I say that the psychologist you have in mind is actually the butler, would you believe me, Ci Bao?"

"Butler Uncle......?"

Fu Mu Ci couldn't believe it; his lips parted slightly and his gaze went blank for a while.

Yet the butler uncle had always been good to him.

But the one saying this is Jin Chen.

"I, I believe you."

Fu Mu Ci grabbed his hand and rested it against their cheek, "But... why?"

Jin Chen told Fu Mu Ci everything that happened that night, in detail.

"Of course, this is just my guess; the steward's identity still needs investigation. Anyway, the Fu Family is too dangerous now—will you come live with me at my home?"

"Go to your home?"

Fu Mu Ci didn't know what they had thought of, their eyes slightly brightening, the earlier bewilderment gradually fading.

"From now on, this will be our home."

Jin Chen whispered reassuringly, "Of course, once things are settled, if Ci Bao still wants to live here, that's fine."

After all, they grew up here and have hardly ever left.

Fu Mu Ci's response, however, was quick.

"Okay, okay!"

He rubbed Jin Chen's palm, voice soft, "Live at home."

It is a home belonging solely to the two of them.

Jin Chen was about to help Fu Mu Ci pack their luggage when they heard a servant knocking at the door outside.

"Doctor Jin, our master would like to discuss the young master's follow-up treatment with you, as well as... the madam's matter."

The servant, having just learned of this, couldn't accept it for a moment.

"Okay, I know."

Jin Chen turned back and hugged his young master, "It's just right for me to go and tell your father; I can't just silently take away your precious son."

Fu Mu Ci pressed their lips and smiled, a sweet ripple spreading in their heart.

He saw Jin Chen walk some distance downstairs, then also quietly followed behind.

Dad will surely not agree easily.

Fu Mu Ci thought, he also needed to go plead.

But after the incident in the living room last time, Jin Chen had paid more attention to the young master's presence, so naturally could sense him following behind, and did not stop him.

"Mr. Fu."

He knocked on the study door.

"Come in." Fu Zhenhua's voice came through the door, somewhat muffled.

Jin Chen pushed the door open and stepped in, but after just two steps the door behind him closed; he turned his head, frowning.

The smell of blood in the study was incredibly strong.
