“I’ll let you shoot me a few times to vent your anger, and then you’ll stay, alright?” Gu Chen stubbornly said as he persisted in advancing toward Shen Xi.

Seeing Gu Chen just a few steps away, Shen Xi furrowed her brows in anger and cursed, “You lunatic!” She swiftly rotated her wrist, and the last hidden weapon shot out from her hand.

Unable to dodge in time, Gu Chen was. .h.i.t on the back of his hand by Shen Xi. A numb sensation spread from his hand to his entire body. The next moment, Gu Chen fell stiffly to the ground, with only a faint trace of consciousness remaining.

Lu Fei and Shen Luan, along with their men, forced Qian Tong and his group into the house. Seeing Gu Chen lying on the ground, Qian Tong and the others immediately surrounded him.

Shen Luan and Lu Fei, relieved to see Shen Xi unharmed, both sighed in relief. Then, their gaze sharpened as they turned to Gu Chen, waiting for Shen Xi to speak.

“Gu Chen, take care of yourself!” Shen Xi said softly as she looked at the unconscious Gu Chen.

With that, Shen Xi, under the protection of Shen Luan and Lu Fei, turned and left.

Watching Shen Xi’s departing figure, Gu Chen clenched his fists, completely losing consciousness the next moment.

Qian Tong immediately contacted a doctor.

Meanwhile, just as Shen Xi stepped out of the Gu family, Shen Yan and Lu Shan anxiously rushed forward, pulling Shen Xi to inspect her, fearing she might be injured.

“Mom, Dad, I’m really fine!” Shen Xi said.

She felt that if she didn’t stop her, her mother would have stripped her in public to check for injuries.

Looking at Shen Xi’s smiling face, Lu Shan said with a hint of reproach, “Next time, don’t do such reckless things! The Gu family is so dangerous, you don’t know how worried Mom and Dad were when we found out you mobilized Shen Luan and Lu Fei to the Gu family.”

Shen Yan, slightly angry, added, “Exactly, Xi, you’re not allowed to do this next time. If it weren’t for the fear of burdening Shen Luan and Lu Fei and delaying their rescue efforts, your mother would have rushed in to fight Gu Chen.”

Shen Xi lowered her head and apologized for a while. Shen Yan and Lu Shan then stopped scolding her, and the family got into the car and left.

In the car, Lu Shan continued lecturing, “Xi, in the future, if something like this happens again, if someone bullies you, just tell Mom and Dad. We will seek revenge for you. Don’t go alone, do you understand?”

Shen Yan sighed and said, “If your mother hadn’t come back and told me you were pretending to lose your memory, I would have been really tormented these days.”

“I can’t rely on Mom and Dad forever. I have to become strong on my own and be the support for both of you. So now, I’m back and well, right? I’m capable!” Shen Xi said with a pleasing smile.

Shen Yan and his wife relaxed a bit seeing their daughter like this.

However, Lu Shan still asked anxiously, “Xi, do you remember everything about you and Guan Lei now? What about those false memories about Gu Chen? Do you remember them?”

In their rushed conversation that day, Lu Shan and Shen Xi didn’t discuss much.

Shen Xi’s face showed a slight unease, and she just smiled, saying, “I remember, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll ask my cousin to treat me later, and maybe it’ll be fine.”

Shen Xi didn’t know what her situation was now. Those memories and emotions, whether real or false, were all swirling in her mind.

It seemed she needed to find time for proper treatment.

Hearing Shen Xi’s situation, Shen Yan immediately ordered the driver to turn the car around and said, “Let’s go, we’re going to see your cousin now. This treatment can’t wait.”

Shen Xi couldn’t resist her parents, so she let them do as they pleased. However, the treatment plan was still not finalized.

The predicament of the Gu family became increasingly severe. As the head of the Gu family, Gu Chen had to face it.

The Gu family directly stated that they didn’t force Meng Yu to confess, even questioning Meng Yu’s motives, suggesting it was an attempt to clear the suspicion of treason for the Guan family.

To prove the innocence of the Gu family, they presented evidence of Meng Yu sending Gu Xing to prison years ago, indirectly indicating it was impossible for them to rescue Meng Yu.

Both sides knew the truth, but they didn’t care.

However, whether it was the Gu family or the Guan family, they needed a reason for the public to support them for the sake of their respective clans.

But now, the situation was beyond the understanding of the public.
