C114 The Edge of the Dangerous Zone

From the horizon to the Cape, you're the one I'm stopping.

That night, Yan Xuan took a thin mattress and mat and laid them on the floor of the activity room on the second floor. The two of them wore home clothes, turned on the air conditioner and covered themselves with blankets. Facing the wall full of guitar, they planned to hug each other and sleep. Before sleeping, Yan Xuan told her the story of every guitar. That band full of legends, what song did they sing? What they had encountered, how many places they had walked, how many cheers they had received... They said it with flesh and blood, and it was full of ups and downs. Lyi Yan listened with great interest and gradually got rid of the influence of the three words "Sun Dongqing" on her. She imagined her father who had been fanatically chasing stars at that time. She also imagined how her mother felt when she helped her father collect these guitar.

No matter what the relationship was, your mother loved your father.

Perhaps it was because she was too sensitive. Her mother's feelings towards her father were so deep. Wasn't this wall full of guitar the best proof?

"Mmm... Goodnight..."

Yan Xuan was currently in a relaxed state of mind and body on vacation. The accumulated fatigue in his body was continuously released. It made him feel tired and needed to rest. When the story of the guitar was about to come to an end, he was so tired that he almost could not open his eyes. Lyi Yan's heart ached and made him quickly fall asleep. He answered in a daze. He turned around and fell into a deep sleep. His long breath brought about a reassuring rhythm. Yan Xuan slept very quietly. He did not snore or grind his teeth. He rarely babbled. It was as if he had an incomprehensible self-control even when he was sleeping.

Lyi Yan was not sleepy for the time being, so she borrowed the moonlight from outside the window. She carefully used her sight to outline Yan Xuan's features. From her full forehead to her straight nose, and her dense eyelashes, from his thin lips and firm jaw to his slightly protruding Adam's apple. His beautiful collarbone, wide chest, flat and beautiful chest... It seemed that he had many things that others didn't. Outstanding appearance, wealthy life, outstanding abilities... He had a high position and did not have to run around for a trivial life. No need to worry about rice, oil, salt.

These were all facts, but these gorgeous decorations weren't enough to make up for the pain he suffered. The regrets and self-blame that were wrapped around him like thorns, as well as the missing familial love and care that could not be more ordinary to ordinary people.

There were so many people who were jealous of him, so who would feel sorry for him? Who knew what he hid by lowering his eyes, pursing his lips, and bending down slightly? Obtaining and losing were often two sides of the scale, and the more glamorous his appearance was. Perhaps he would rather be ordinary if he had to choose. Having parents and family who loved him, having simple colleagues and friends... Running around for a trivial life, giving tea, rice, oil and salt headaches...

The more he thought about it, the more his heart ached. The man in front of him was getting closer and closer, and he could not leave. Lyi Yan gently crossed her arms across his chest and hugged him sideways. She snuggled up to him and wanted to give him all the tenderness she could give him. Recalling the scenes that she had caused him, even though she was not in the mood, he smiled and said, It doesn't hurt, it's fine. However, she felt guilty and uneasy.

Confused with her emotions, Lyi Yan gradually fell asleep in the quiet night. She thought that she had gotten rid of the nightmare, but it came as planned!

She dreamed that she was wearing a beautiful evening gown and a splendid cocktail party. She dreamed that Sun Dongqing was smiling at her. Then the smile gradually became ferocious. She dreamed that the surroundings became quiet, and people disappeared one by one. She dreamed that the banquet hall became the top floor of a building. The wind blew her hair upside down; she dreamed of her mother falling, and her terrified and helpless expression; she dreamed of the woman who was not clear. He said in a hoarse voice:

[You forced your mother to die!]

Look, look, she died from the fall. It was already very ugly, and the way she died from the fall was even uglier!

No - - !

"Yan!"

Her body continued to fall into the darkness, and her chest felt like it was being pressed down by a heavy boulder, making it impossible for her to breathe. It was only until Yan Xuan's voice was heard that there was anxiety and worry in it. She suddenly woke up from her dream and saw a familiar chest in front of her. Her heart was beating crazily. It was like a tearing pain. It was so painful that she had tears streaming down her face. She still couldn't catch her breath no matter how hard she tried.

"Don't be afraid. Be good. It's fine. It's fine..." Yan Xuan hugged her, coaxed her, lightly patted her back, and helped her breathe.

"Yan... Xuan..." Lyi Yan's entire body was trembling as she tightly gripped onto Yan Xuan's clothes. She inhaled and exhaled large mouthfuls of air, but she was still struggling in the midst of suffocation and lack of oxygen.

"I'm here, I'm here." Yan Xuan held her face and kissed her eyes. Her tears and her lips looked at her pale face. He wanted to feel bad for her and bear the terrible past for her.

"I, I thought... I had already... adjusted before going to bed." Her choked voice had a strong determination to gather together. She had not completely recovered from the dream. But she saw that he was even more uncomfortable than her.

"It's fine, it's fine. It's not your fault." Yan Xuan hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his bones and blood.

"Yan Xuan... Yan Xuan..." Fear rose and fell in her heart. She was so grateful that Yan Xuan was here at this moment. He could give her a hug and care. He was like a drowning person who had obtained floating wood and hope.

"Come, drink some water."

Yan Xuan turned on the light and covered her with a thin blanket. He went downstairs to the kitchen and poured a cup of water for her. There were a few cute little Totoro printed on the porcelain cup. The water in the cup was pure and transparent, reflecting the light of the lamp.

"Hmm?" Lyi Yan, who was still trembling, took a small sip of the water in the cup. She did not expect it to be sweet.

"I did not find the honey, so I added some sugar with my hand. It is said that the sweetness can make people feel better." Yan Xuan sat beside her and also took a cup with a fat Totoro printed on it.

... "I am much better." Gradually, her mood calmed down. Lyi Yan's face was slightly red. She thought about those "bold words" when they met in the evening. What could I do? She felt a little awkward.

"Yan..." Yan Xuan was silent for a while and said, "I was wondering if we should continue to unravel the mystery of the past. After all, to you and me, it is not only a mystery, but also a scar."

... "" Lyi Yan was stunned and could not answer. She did not expect Yan Xuan to hesitate or to back out. She tried to ask herself the same question. If she had become like this when she first came into contact with Sun Dongqing, if this continued, how many things would she and him have to bear?

In silence, both of them were thinking, and many of them were in a dilemma. In the end, they could only see what was more important, and they could not give up. Yan Xuan felt that if he met Lyi Yan again, he would feel heartache and blame himself for not being able to forgive himself. Lyi Yan felt that if she did not clarify the matter of her mother, she and Yan Xuan would never be able to get out of that sad place.

"Yan, we..."

"Eight years ago, we all missed the chance to protect our mother. If there was anything else that could be done now, it would be to find out the truth of that day. Will Mom commit suicide, or will he kill her? If he kills her... Who was the criminal? How can we just leave these things alone? How can we let the criminal get away with it? Live a normal life?"

"Yan..."

"I know you are worried about me, but I think I can take it because I have you now."

Lyi Yan put down the cup, straightened her body, and slid into Yan Xuan's arms. Like a spoiled cat, she comforted her master's uneasiness. At the same time, she waited for her master to caress her. It was rare for her to block Yan Xuan's words, so he couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He also put down the cup and raised his hand to hug her. He pressed her head against his chest. He wanted to let her hear the worry and heartache that she felt over there.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll protect you, don't be afraid." No one would have thought that at the end of the matter, she would be the one to comfort him. She pulled him and continued to bravely walk forward without any hesitation.

"Then I will go to the company. You have a good rest at home."

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

The two of them slept until midnight. They woke up from the nightmare and did not want to sleep anymore. They hugged and talked, but they did not realize it was morning. Lyi Yan had a field notice this morning that there were two music lessons in the afternoon. It was basically a busy rhythm. Yan Xuan slightly regretted arranging so many things for her. Although this was his usual style as an agent.

After sending Lyi Yan away, Yan Xuan tidied up the kitchen and obediently went back to his room to sleep until around ten o'clock. When he woke up again, he was still in good spirits. He rubbed his forehead. The heat seemed to have subsided quite a bit. After taking a shower and removing the sticky feeling on his body, Yan Xuan heated up a glass of milk and drank it. Then he walked into the study room and sat on the sofa. He first called Grandma to tell her that he was safe. He then called Qi Mingyu and asked him for a call from a psychiatrist. Finally, he called Jack and asked him to find some time to find a private detective company. He would go to Wen Qing's hometown to do some investigations.

"Hello, Dr. Liu. Sorry to bother you. I am Qi Mingyu's friend..."

Under the banner of Qi Mingyu, the other party gave him face and called him for more than ten minutes. Yan Xuan briefly told him about Lyi Yan's experiences, her dreams, and her sleepwalking. He wanted to know about her symptoms. He also wanted to know how to guide and help her.

"There are actually quite a lot of situations like this. According to what you said, Miss Lyi was only ten years old when the accident happened. Ten years old is the age where one's mind has yet to fully develop. The stimulation that one receives will cause psychological trauma. For example, she was afraid of heights, she was afraid of loneliness, and she did not dare to be alone. But Miss Lyi seemed to be fine in her daily life. This had a lot to do with the environment she grew up in the day after tomorrow. This meant that she had subconsciously severed herself from the years before or before she was ten years old. However, when her consciousness was temporarily absent, like sleeping, that part of her memory would return. The dream that you mentioned will appear, and even the behavior of sleepwalking will appear."

"At the moment, I suggest that you don't blindly protect her. Don't let her touch that scene. In fact, most of the time, fear is caused by not being able to see clearly. You also said that... That memory of hers wasn't particularly clear. It really happened. Or was it because she was too scared that her subconscious' fabricated 'the process? You might be able to try the methods of hypnosis and other psychological support methods. Slowly, slowly, step by step, let her retrieve her real memories."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Xuan calmed his heart and thought for a while. What the doctor said made some sense. He would try to talk to Lyi Yan. He wanted to see if she was willing to carry out auxiliary treatment. Although it was very cruel to use hypnosis to recreate what happened that day, at least they had enough time to digest it. He could also accompany her to comfort her. It was better than suddenly finding out everything from Sun Dongqing and Pann Mei. Without any room for buffer, they became passive and even embarrassed. He was powerless to deal with it.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Just as he was calculating in his heart, the phone beside him started vibrating. The caller ID was Jack.

"Ray, something happened."

Something happened. Lyi Yan went to the radio station for a interview program at nine o'clock in the morning. They agreed that it would end at ten o'clock, but she did not return to the company at eleven o'clock. Zhang Xiaoyin called Lyi Yan and Fatty. Both of their phones were turned off. So she called the radio again, and the person on the other side said that the two of them left together around 10 o'clock or 10 o'clock.

"I am in the parking lot now. Fatty's car did not drive away. After adjusting the surveillance camera, there weren't many cars entering and leaving the parking lot at that time. There were five cars in total. Four of them were from the television station. There was only one that was unclaimed and was currently being investigated by friends. Hmm? Wait a minute, there seems to be some information."

..." "

" Ray, I found it. That car belongs to Sun Group... What should we do next?"

The radio station was a place with a lot of surveillance equipment. When they knew that the car that was suspected to have taken Lyi Yan and Fatty away did not cover the license plate, Yan Xuan felt a little relieved. Then he found out that the car belonged to the Sun Group. He could basically confirm that Lyi Yan and Fatty's lives were not in danger for the time being.

"Jack, I'm in Purple Garden. You drive to pick me up."

"You are in Purple Garden? Alright, no matter what, I'll pick you up immediately. Tsk, I really don't know what Sun Dongqing is up to!"

"The Sun Group's car is not necessarily Sun Dongqing's doing."

"Hmm? Then who else?"

Pann Mei.

Yan Xuan hung up the phone and changed into a formal short-sleeved shirt and pants. He took some medicine and sat in the living room, waiting for Jack.

The people who took Yan and Fatty away this time, no matter if it was Sun Dongqing. In his opinion, both of them had predicted this earlier than him. Those two people should not have been unable to calm down so quickly, unless there was something that he had overlooked in the middle. What was it?
