Chapter 422 Erasing Memories

Chapter 422 Erasing Memories

Huo Zhizhou felt everything go black before his eyes, and then he lost consciousness.

Huo Sinian looked at the person who had fainted on the table, his pupils darkening, and his brows furrowing involuntarily. After a moment of silence, he instructed the bodyguard, "Keep an eye on him."

The bodyguards replied, "Yes."

Huo Sinian left and, guided by the others, arrived at the door of Huo Cheng's room. He put his hand on the doorknob and opened the door, his eyes meeting Huo Cheng's the moment he looked up.

Neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere wasn't much more relaxed than when Huo Zhizhou was there.

"Why did you tell Zhizhou about Shan Mu'an?" Huo Cheng's voice was deep, and his expression was serious.

Huo Sinian dismissed everyone else and said unhurriedly, "To accomplish what you want."

Huo Cheng: "?"

Huo Cheng looked at him, puzzled.

It was obvious that they didn't believe what he said.

"Didn't you say before that you wanted Zhizhou to get the property and custody of Sui Sui back from Jiang Ruan?" Huo Sinian would not reveal his ambition unless it was a critical moment.

Huo Cheng readily admitted, "Yes."

Huo Sinian: "It will be ready soon."

Huo Cheng frowned. He knew very well that Huo Sinian was not one to boast, but Zhi Zhou was even less likely to be manipulated. So he simply asked, "Do you have a solution?"

“I can’t do anything about it,” Huo Sinian said, glancing towards the door. “But this person has a solution.”

As the last word faded, a well-dressed middle-aged man, around fifty or sixty years old, walked in through the door. He seemed very approachable.

Huo Cheng looked puzzled: "Who is he?"

“Shen Yuanqiao, a world-renowned hypnosis master, is skilled in hypnosis and psychological suggestion,” Huo Sinian introduced. “He can make Zhizhou forget everything in the past and implant a completely new memory.”

Huo Cheng: "???"

Huo Cheng frowned, expressing his doubt about these words.

“It’s not as exaggerated as Mr. Huo said. Implanting memories is not possible for the time being.” Shen Yuanqiao smiled and said, “At most, we can give him some psychological suggestion so that he can get to know the people from the past again.”

Huo Cheng's gaze fell on Huo Sinian, and he remained silent for a long time.

"Speaking of which, you and Dr. Shen have some connection." Huo Sinian didn't seem to care about Huo Cheng's gaze. "You also know his junior brother."

Huo Cheng: "?"

Huo Sinian reminded him: "More than 20 years ago, you also studied hypnosis with him for a period of time."

Upon hearing this, Huo Chengtong's eyes narrowed, and his face showed obvious shock.

“It’s already very late.” Huo Sinian always kept things to himself, and his demeanor was always gentle and polite. “I’ll take you back to the old house first, and we can discuss Zhizhou’s matter in detail tomorrow.”

Huo Cheng didn't say anything, but stood up and walked out of the room with him.

Huo Sinian arranged for someone to take Huo Zhizhou with him, and they left together towards the old house.

On the way back.

Huo Cheng's gaze remained fixed on Huo Sinian.

He used to think that Si Nian was kinder and more benevolent than Zhi Zhou, and that even if Si Nian did something wrong, it was just an occasional act of rebellion. But now it seems that Si Nian is far more cunning than Zhi Zhou.

"Does Father have something to say?" Huo Sinian sat in the back row by the window.

"What do you know?" Huo Cheng asked.

"I didn't know much about it before, but I learned by chance while chatting with Mr. Shen that you studied hypnosis when you were young." Huo Sinian placed his hands in front of him, his tone calm.

Huo Cheng said in a deep voice, "So?"

Huo Sinian: "There is no reason."

Huo Cheng's heart sank lower and lower.

He didn't believe that he knew so much and was just talking about it in front of him.

"If you have no objections to Zhizhou, I'll have Old Shen erase his memory and psychologically implant a new memory into him," Huo Sinian said. "When he wakes up, he'll think that you and Mother are good parents, and Jiang Ruan is a gold-digging, scheming woman."

Huo Cheng agreed without hesitation: "Okay."

Huo Sinian's gaze fell on him.

Although it was just as I had imagined, seeing that he agreed without any hesitation still stirred up a complex feeling in my heart.

"OK."

after a while.

Huo Cheng glanced at the road outside the window and asked, "This isn't the way back to the old house."

"We changed our route at the last minute," Huo Sinian explained. "If we go back to Mom now, she'll definitely find out, and she won't agree if she finds out we're trying to erase Zhizhou's memories."

Huo Cheng thought about it and felt it made sense, so he didn't ask any further questions.

However, it was Huo Sinian.

When the atmosphere fell silent, she glanced at Huo Cheng and took the initiative to start a conversation: "Do you still remember what you promised me before?"

Huo Cheng: "Your marriage to the Wen family?"

Huo Sinian: "Yes."

Huo Cheng: "Whatever you say."

Huo Sinian then asked, "What about the position of the person in charge of the Huo Group?"

Huo Cheng: "Tomorrow I'll call your uncles and elders and ask them to recommend you as the president of the Huo Group."

"Thank you, Father." Huo Sinian remained very gentle throughout the entire process.

Huo Cheng glanced at him subconsciously.

The streetlights cast their light on Huo Sinian's face, making him appear somewhat aloof.

In a flash, Huo Cheng seemed to have thought of something, and stared at him with eyes like a hawk, asking, "If I hadn't agreed just now, were you planning to use force?"

"How could that be?" Huo Sinian's lips curved into a smile, his tone unhurried. "I have always respected my elders."

Huo Cheng didn't believe a single word.

Before today, he would have believed it without a doubt.

But the person who could think of erasing Zhizhou's memories and then re-implanting them could not be a kind soul.

He even suspected that if he hadn't agreed to the demands he had just made, his father might have simply locked him up and made him a "missing person," since, on the surface, he had been taken away by Zhizhou.

It can only be said that no one knows a son better than his father.

That's exactly what Huo Sinian thought.

The original plan was that if Huo Chengruo went back on his word, he would not hesitate to take him to his private property and lock him up, since on the surface his father was taken away by Huo Zhizhou.

He didn't care that Zhi Zhou took the blame.

He wasn't as merciful as Zhizhou; pressing for answers for so many days without any results was incredibly inefficient.

"Don't show your face for the next few days," Huo Sinian reminded him as they were about to arrive at their lodgings. "Wait until Zhizhou's hypnosis is complete before we talk about it, otherwise things might go wrong on Mom's side."

"Okay." Huo Cheng agreed after a brief moment's thought.

Ten minutes later.

The group arrived at the residence registered under Huo Sinian's name.

After settling Huo Cheng and Shen Yuanqiao to rest, Huo Sinian went to the top floor to check on Huo Zhizhou. In order to prevent Huo Zhizhou from waking up and injuring someone to escape, Huo Sinian specially had his hands and feet locked up.

When he arrived, Huo Zhizhou had just woken up.

Looking at the chains on his hands and feet, his eyes were as black as ink, and his aura was colder than usual.

"Are you getting used to it?" Huo Sinian sat down opposite him, keeping a distance to prevent him from grabbing him. "The chain is just the right length for you to move around in bed."

Huo Zhizhou looked at him: "Is that all you've got?"

Huo Siqing chuckled: "If you knew what you were going to face next, you wouldn't say such things."

“I can’t stay here forever,” Huo Zhizhou replied.
