Under One Person: The comprehension is beyond heaven, shocking everything
Chapter 541: Stay Steady, There Will Be a Chance
Su Chen was still weak, but he knew that some things had to be dealt with as soon as possible.
He signaled Xu Si for help and contacted Liao Zhong who was far away in the southwest through an absolutely secure internal line.
The moment the line was connected, Liao Zhong's low and tired voice came:
"Su Chen? How are you? Did the headquarters give you any trouble?"
"Uncle Liao, I'm fine."
Su Chen's voice was still a little hoarse. He leaned against the head of the bed and tried to keep his tone steady.
"We have dealt with the interrogation by the board of directors, and there will be no trouble for the time being."
"That's fine, that's fine."
Liao Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, then asked worriedly,
"Then you come to me..."
Su Chen paused and adjusted his breathing:
"Uncle Liao, I have news to tell you. About Chen Duo."
The breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly stagnated.
Liao Zhong's voice instantly tensed, trembling with disbelief:
"Chen Duo? She...what happened to her?!"
"She's awake."
Su Chen said directly.
"what?!"
Liao Zhong's voice suddenly rose, and his huge surprise almost burst through the receiver.
"Awake?! You said Chen Duo is awake?!
Where is she now? How is she doing?! "
Even through the phone line, Su Chen could imagine that Liao Zhong was so excited that he could hardly stand.
"She is fine and has fully recovered. She has no hidden problems."
Su Chen slowed down his speech, trying to calm the other person down.
"She is in the North China branch. Xu San, Xu Si, and I are watching her."
"Great! Great!"
There was an obvious choke in Liao Zhong's voice.
"I...I'll go over there now! I want to see her!"
"Uncle Liao!"
Su Chen stopped him immediately, his tone becoming serious.
"not now."
Liao Zhong's anxious voice paused:
"Why?! She's awake, how can I…"
"It is because she has woken up that we have to be more careful." Su Chen interrupted him.
"Uncle Liao, have you forgotten the suspicions of those people at the headquarters? Especially Bi Youlong."
When mentioning Bi Youlong, Liao Zhong's voice calmed down a little, but still had a hint of impatience:
"I know he suspects us! But what does this have to do with seeing Chen Duo? We..."
“It matters a lot.”
Su Chen said in a deep voice,
“Our testimonies about the Biyou Village incident were so consistent that they seemed too perfect to be true.
Bi Youlong would never believe it easily.
Now, all of us involved in the operation, especially you and me, are on his priority watch list."
Su Chen leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the ceiling:
"Just think about it. At this time, you suddenly ran from the southwest to the north to see a person who should have been 'sacrificed'.
How big a stir will this cause?
What would Bi Youlong think?
Will he immediately connect Chen Duo's existence to our previous confession?
By then, not only will our previous efforts be in vain,
Chen Duo will also be in great danger immediately!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, with only the sound of Liao Zhong's heavy breathing.
It's not that he didn't understand the interests involved, but he suddenly heard the news that Chen Duo was resurrected.
The long-suppressed guilt and concern almost made him lose his mind.
"But...I..."
Liao Zhong's voice was full of struggle.
"Uncle Liao, I understand how you feel." Su Chen slowed down his tone.
“But now is definitely not the time to meet.
We must first dispel the doubts of the board of directors and make them completely believe the official conclusion of Biyou Village.
Only when we are safe, can Chen Duo be truly safe."
Su Chen paused, as if he was considering how to start.
This brief pause made Liao Zhongxin on the other end of the phone bring it up again.
"Uncle Liao,"
Su Chen's voice sounded again, with a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.
"There is one more thing about Chen Duo."
"What's the matter?" Liao Zhong's voice was filled with anxiety.
"Is there something wrong with her body? Has the poison not been completely eliminated?"
"No, I am quite confident physically.
The hidden danger has been completely eradicated, and she is even healthier than before."
Su Chen leaned against the head of the bed and gently pressed his brows.
"The problem is...her memory."
"memory?"
Liao Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then a bad premonition came to his mind.
"What happened to her memory?"
Su Chen took a deep breath and said slowly:
“When she woke up, she didn’t remember anything.
I don’t remember Biyou Village, I don’t remember the poison, I don’t remember anything in the past, even...
He doesn’t remember who he is, and he doesn’t recognize us.”
The other end of the phone fell into deathly silence in an instant.
After several seconds, Liao Zhong's voice trembled with disbelief before he spoke again:
"She... remembers nothing? She...she even forgot who she is?"
Su Chen could imagine the shock and pain on Liao Zhong's face at this moment.
"Yes, Uncle Liao."
His voice was very soft.
"The soul has been out of the body for too long, and the previous trauma has been severe.
Although I tried my best to stabilize her soul, the part that carries her memories still suffered irreversible damage."
"How could...how could this have happened..."
Liao Zhong's voice was filled with pain, as if his heart was being tightly grasped.
"That child... suffered so much and finally survived, but..."
He choked and couldn't continue.
The girl he had always felt guilty about and wanted to make amends with, now didn't even know who he was.
This hurt him more than any physical trauma.
"Uncle Liao, calm down and listen to me."
Su Chen's voice had a soothing power.
"This may not be a bad thing for her."
Liao Zhong suddenly stopped sobbing and breathed rapidly:
"It's not a bad thing? She even forgot who she is. How can this be..."
"Think about her past, Uncle Liao."
Su Chen interrupted him, his tone gentle but with unquestionable seriousness,
“What are those memories?
A dark and gloomy Gu pit, endless killing, betrayal, pain, and struggle.
There was hardly any light in her short life.
Those memories are a heavy shackle to her, a nightmare that she can never get rid of."
There was silence on the other end of the phone again, with only the sound of Liao Zhong's heavy and suppressed breathing.
Su Chen continued:
“Now, she has forgotten everything.
Like a blank sheet of paper, clean and pure.
She can understand the world again and have her own life again.
No burden, no shadow.
Isn’t that wonderful? Isn’t that a relief?”
Liao Zhong's breathing gradually calmed down, but his voice was still filled with deep sadness and helplessness:
"Relief... Yes, for her, it might be a relief..."
He thought of Chen Duo's eyes that were always numb and dead.
I remembered her ruthlessness when she was carrying out her mission.
I remembered her despair during her final outburst.
Those memories are indeed too heavy.
"But..." Liao Zhong's voice became low.
"She even forgot about me..."
The care and compensation that could not be expressed in words seemed to have lost its target.
"Uncle Liao," Su Chen sighed.
“I know this is hard on you.
But for Chen Duo, forgetting the past may be the best gift God has given her.
A chance for a real rebirth.”
