Chapter 1728: Chapter 1663: The Counterpart in Group Favorite Story 93

Outside the ward, Si Qi looked impatient.

He was about to lose control.

"Son, don’t be upset, let’s figure out a solution together."

Anning patted Si Qi’s back.

Si Qi turned to Anning and complained, "How am I so unlucky to encounter such a head case, and one I can’t shake off."

More than an hour ago, the police patiently worked with the little girl, but she stubbornly insisted she remembered nothing, except recognizing Si Qi and said she had to go with him no matter what.

Could Si Qi agree?

Definitely not.

No normal person would agree to be followed by a complete stranger.

Of course, Xiao Yuan and Anning wouldn’t agree either.

To prevent his son from being caught in the trouble, Xiao Yuan directly revealed his identity and negotiated with the two police officers.

The final agreement was for the girl to stay at the hospital for a check-up, after which the police would help her find her family. If they truly couldn’t find them, she’d be taken to the police station or some welfare organization to settle down and slowly regain her memory or establish herself in society.

But when the police said this to the girl, she started to make a scene.

She said she wouldn’t let Si Qi leave and added if she couldn’t be with Si Qi, she’d rather die.

Faced with this commotion, the police had to discuss with Si Qi, asking him to appease the girl, to avoid any fatal consequences.

Si Qi was truly angered.

He didn’t want to placate that seemingly crazy girl.

He didn’t leave, just paced outside the ward.

Xiao Yuan returned with some things, glanced at Anning, who understood, and took the items inside the ward.

Xiao Yuan draped an arm over Si Qi’s shoulder, guiding him to sit down, "Why, can’t handle such a small matter?"

Si Qi lowered his head, feeling so troubled he wanted to pull his hair out, "Dad, what do you think the background of this girl is? Could it be that you offended someone in business, and they planted this trap for us?"

Xiao Yuan laughed through his tears, "What are you thinking? With all this time for these thoughts, you’d better focus on resolving the trouble instead."

Si Qi slipped his hands into his thick hair, "What solution could I possibly have? If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have come home. Staying at the company overnight would’ve been better."

Anning entered the ward and saw the girl dressed in red semi-leaning against the window, her white blanket draped over her, staring outside, lost in thought.

"Have something to eat."

Anning sat down, unpacking the hot porridge and snacks from the bag, his face smiling with extraordinary kindness.

The girl turned her head, catching the scent of meat porridge, swallowing unconsciously.

Anning nudged the lunchbox forward, "Have some."

The girl took the box and drank a sip of porridge, quickly finishing it off in moments.

Anning handed over two buns, which she quickly polished off too.

Once she finished eating, Anning cleaned the lunchbox, organized the packaging into the garbage, then sat down to talk properly with the girl.

"Do you remember your name?"

The food filled her empty stomach, coupled with Anning’s gentle and kind voice, made the girl feel somewhat at ease. She was less guarded.

"No, I don’t remember." The girl shook her head.

Anning still wore a gentle smile, but his words filled the girl with fear, "No, you do remember."

The girl shivered, attempting to conceal her alarm, but her act was poor and Anning noticed.

Anning’s smile deepened, "Such a young age, don’t be too scheming. Overthinking can cause problems?"

"I’m not, I really don’t remember," the girl tried to deflect.

Anning shook his finger, "First listen to me: You’re probably not from this world, right? You found yourself in a strange world and realized the strictness regarding identity cards here. To survive, you staged this scene. As for why you cling to my son, it’s likely because my son resembles someone from your past, or someone you liked."

"I’m not, stop slandering."

The girl became entirely anxious, wanting to shout at Anning, yet her reservations prevented her from raising her voice.

Anning remained calm, speaking lightly, "Let me guess your background? Hmm, you probably hail from an ancient Martial Arts family, somehow entered the Demon Path, and Xiao Lang you mentioned might be your... fiancé. Due to your Demon Path entry, he abandoned you, leaving you love unreturned, causing various accidents, stirring chaos, and ultimately getting annihilated by the Righteous Path. Not sure how you ended up here, not just today, you’ve been here two days. Suddenly swapping to a new, unfamiliar world made you cautious in appearing, but hiding forever wouldn’t work. You kept observing the world, perhaps saw my son by chance, thus scheming this setup to latch onto him."

"Stop slandering, stop slandering, you’re lying."

Anning’s words utterly enraged the girl. She extended her hand, ostensibly accusing Anning, yet her fingers pointed toward Anning’s acupuncture point.

Anning’s gaze suddenly turned icy, grabbing the girl’s right hand and giving it a slight twist, causing sharp pain in her wrist.

Her face was full of disbelief.

Anning suddenly acted, immobilizing the girl, smiling faintly in the girl’s terrified gaze, "If you obediently listen, I can promise I’ll fix your identity. If you continue to entangle, you’ll end up not just physically separated, but your insides burned, soul scattered."

Upon hearing the phrase "soul scattered," the girl visibly trembled in fear.

"I..."

Anning truly frightened her, "I, I won’t entangle anymore. I’m Qi Mei."

Anning released the obstruction on her acupuncture point, "Qi Mei? Okay, I know. You’ll tell the police you’re an orphan, found on the mountain and raised there without registration. Your caregiver died, and only then you came down the mountain. You collapsed roadside due to days without food or drink. You claimed memory loss because of hitting your head when falling, causing temporary amnesia until now recalling your origin."

Qi Mei dared not provoke Anning, nodding obediently, "Yes, senior, I understand."

Anning patted her head, "Good girl."

Qi Mei did not dare resist.

Those in the Demon Path inherently revered the strong, and Anning was a power far beyond Qi Mei, who knew she had no chance against him in any confrontation, instead choosing to yield without resistance.

She raised her head and smiled in a flattering way at Anning.

Anning exited the ward, calling two police officers, "She says she remembers now."

Once the police entered to ask Qi Mei, Anning told Xiao Yuan and Si Qi, "It’s settled."

Si Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, two police officers took Qi Mei out, thanked Anning, mentioning they’ll take her to the police station, needing to verify her identity and later help her register, find work to make ends meet.

After sending off the three, Anning’s family drove home.

By now it was nearly dawn, having spent the night in exhaustion, the family went straight to sleep without having dinner.
