The Amnesiac Omega Who Reels Me In Every Day – Chapter 20
by Little PandaDeep Thoughts
Terrifying
Jiang Youwan arranged for Jiang Jinyi to be transferred to Noble Hospital, a high-end private facility funded by the Jiang family. As it fell directly under Jiang Youwan’s personal assets, it meant she had completely brought Jiang Jinyi into her own territory.
Xu An had been keeping watch near the hospital lately, but she could not get close at all. Jiang Youwan’s bodyguards were posted everywhere, driving her away the moment they spotted her.
She contacted Jiang Jinyi’s assistant, Ji Xiaoqin. When she met Xiao Qin, the girl was sobbing uncontrollably, begging her between gasps to rescue her Miss from Jiang Youwan’s clutches.
Ever since Ji Xiaoqin learned about Jiang Jinyi’s car accident, she had come to the hospital numerous times, terrified that something would happen to her while she was in Jiang Youwan’s hands. She had also tried calling, but no matter how many times she dialed, no one ever picked up.
As for Xu An, the only update she had currently managed to obtain was from Jiang Youwan herself, who claimed that Jiang Jinyi’s physical condition was no longer in any serious danger.
Was she really fine, or was it a lie?
Given Jiang Jinyi’s personality and her sheer hatred for Jiang Youwan, if she were truly fine, how could she possibly be willing to stay in the same room with her?
With Jiang Jinyi’s temper, she would definitely make a scene, throwing a tantrum without a single care for the consequences.
What terrified Xu An the most was whether that car accident had anything to do with Jiang Youwan. If Jiang Youwan had truly been provoked into planning it to silence herβ¦
Xu An shuddered with deep apprehension1.
Xiao Qin tugged at the corner of Xu An’s jacket and whispered, “Should we call the police?”
“I’m so scared. I can’t sleep at all at night, and I keep dreaming that something happened to the Miss.” She paused, her voice growing even softer. “Sometimes my dreams are very accurate. I’m afraidβ¦ I’m afraid Jiang Youwan will hurt the Miss.”
Xu An looked down at the hem of her jacket where Xiao Qin was tugging. Call the police?
Calling the police was indeed a good option. They lived in a society ruled by law. No matter how powerful Jiang Youwan was, she could not possibly override the law, right?
In any case, Jiang Jinyi hated Jiang Youwan so much. Unless she had amnesia, there was absolutely no way she would willingly stay in the same room with her for this long. Jiang Youwan must have confined her!
As her childhood friend, she naturally had to rescue Xiao Jin from these dire straits!
Thus, the two of them decided to head to the police station to report it.
When the police heard about the confinement, they realized this was no small matter and immediately dispatched a unit.
Xu An led the police to the hospital. With the officers backing them up, they faced no obstacles along the way. Xu An’s confidence surged significantly, and she looked haughtily at the two bodyguards who were originally standing guard at the door of the ward. The bodyguards naturally did not dare to stop them. The police opened the ward door, and this was the scene they saw.
A girl in patient scrubs was leaning back against the hospital bed. Her eyes were cast down, her long, curled eyelashes veiling her gaze. She held a tablet in her hands, apparently watching a video. She looked quiet and sweet, yet also had a faintly weary and fragile air.
Sensing the arrival of newcomers, she calmly lifted her gaze. When she saw the officers, her brow furrowed slightly in confusion.
Nearby, the sizzling sound from the induction cooker in the open kitchen also came to an abrupt halt.
Jiang Youwan had her long hair pinned up, wearing an apron. Her gentle, virtuous, yet exquisitely alluring appearance gave her the strong aura of a housewife2, incredibly seductive.
She turned her head to look, her brow knitting. “What’s wrong?”
The police officer showed his credentials as he walked inside, speaking in a deep, mellow voice, “We received a report alleging illegal confinement here. Is this true?”
Meanwhile, Xu An squeezed inside from behind the police, pulling Xiao Qin along. The moment Xiao Qin saw Jiang Jinyi on the hospital bed, her tears almost spilled over. Letting go of Xu An’s hand, she ran to the side of Jiang Jinyi’s bed, crouched down, and looked up at her, saying with tearful eyes, “Miss, you scared me to death!”
Xu An also flashed her a bold smile. “How’s that, Eldest Miss Jiang? Pretty loyal, aren’t I? With me here, just don’t be afraid. We are people who have done big things together; I would never leave you in dire straits.”
Jiang Jinyi first glanced at Xiao Qin, her tone cold. “Who are you?”
Who are you?
With those words, Xiao Qin’s expression froze on her face, which instantly turned deathly pale as she stared blankly at Jiang Jinyi.
Then, Jiang Jinyi lifted her eyes to look at Xu An.
She was startled for a moment, studying Xu An’s face. Her face was still cute, but unlike in her memory, she was sporting pink twin-tails, looking very much like a delinquent girl.
“When did you return to the country?”
???
“You’re asking me when I came back?” Xu An said in astonishment. “Jiang Jinyi, are you stupid?”
“Could it be that Jiang Youwan drugged you with something?”
Jiang Jinyi was speechless. “What absolute nonsense are you talking?”
Jiang Youwan untied her apron and walked over, a warm and amiable smile on her face. She addressed the officer, “Officer, I believe there has been a misunderstanding. There is no illegal confinement here. Xiao Jin was injured and is currently hospitalized. I am merely staying here to care for her. Is there a problem with that?”
The middle-aged officer frowned, looking at Jiang Jinyi as she got off the hospital bed, and asked, “Is that true?”
“Yeah.”
The officer asked again, “Is it really true? We are the police, you don’t need to be afraid of being threatened.”
Jiang Jinyi was slightly displeased. She hated nothing more than others intruding into her territory without permission, let alone the police. This questioning made it feel as if Jiang Youwan had committed some sort of crime. She said, “Of course it’s true. Why would jiejie confine me?”
Observing Jiang Jinyi’s expression, the officer saw no sign of deception. He nodded in understanding, then turned his head to look at the stunned Xu An.
Xiao Qin and Xu An were both stunned.
Jiejie?
Jiang Jinyi actually said Jiang Youwan was her jiejie?
For a moment, Xu An began to doubt this world, doubting the very space-time she was in.
The smile on Jiang Youwan’s face visibly deepened. She turned her head to look at her, her eyes overflowing with doting affection.
This scene left Xu An somewhat bewildered.
Glancing at Xiao Qin, who was equally bewildered, Xu An pinched her fingertips to force herself to calm down. Based on her understanding of Jiang Jinyi, Jiang Jinyi would never tolerate being threatened by Jiang Youwan. She would definitely make a scene, and she would absolutely resist.
For her to call Jiang Youwan jiejie like this, and to have asked with such a surprised face when she returned to the country just now, there was only one possibility.
That was, she had lost her memory in the car accident.
Xu An herself was startled by her own thought.
What did Jiang Jinyi’s amnesia mean? It meant she was now going to be controlled by Jiang Youwan!
To be toyed with by one’s enemy while suffering from amnesia was truly an embarrassing thing.
To prevent Jiang Jinyi from blaming her once she regained her memoriesβ¦
Xu An took a large stride forward to stand right in front of Jiang Jinyi and grabbed her wrist, telling her with a serious face, “Eldest Miss Jiang, you lost your memory, didn’t you?”
Jiang Jinyi startled, turning her face away a bit unnaturally as she let out a soft, “Mm.”
Indeed!
Xu An took a deep breath. She could feel Jiang Youwan’s extremely oppressive gaze on her. Summoning her courage, she held Jiang Jinyi’s hand to drag her out, talking as she pulled, “Let me tell you, Jiang Youwan is not some good person! She is very dangerous! You must come with me right now, otherwise you will regret itβ”
“It hurts, let go!”
Jiang Jinyi still had injuries on her arm, and being pulled so forcefully made her cry out in pain several times as she struggled hard. Only then did Xu An react. Turning her head, she was startled to see that a bit of blood had seeped from the bandaged wound on Jiang Jinyi’s arm.
“Holy shit, you’re bleeding! Are you okay?”
The police officer quickly pulled Xu An away.
Tears welled up in Jiang Jinyi’s eyes from the pain, and she cursed, “Xu An, you bastard!”
Seeing this, Jiang Youwan frowned in displeasure. She carefully lifted her hand to examine it before her eyes. A little blood had seeped out, and though it was not much, it was bound to be extremely painful for Jiang Jinyi.
She looked at Xu An, her tone filled with blame. “How can Miss Xu be so rough?”
Xu An’s face twitched. She answered her in her mind: Compared to being controlled by you, what does this little injury even matter?
Xu An did not give up. She said to Jiang Jinyi with absolute gravity, “Jiang Jinyi, let me tell youβI don’t know to what extent you’ve lost your memory, or if you still remember the things from these past few years. But you know our friendship. I am definitely doing this for your own good. Come with me, and once your memory is restored, you will understand!”
“Now, come with me immediately.” With the police still present, Xu An did not dare to say too much, but she had already completely maxed out Jiang Youwan’s hatred toward her.
Upon hearing Xu An’s words, Jiang Youwan showed no expression on her face, but instead turned her head to look at Jiang Jinyi.
Time seemed to stand still, the atmosphere becoming subtle as undercurrents surged.
Jiang Jinyi was still in a state of shock from the blood seeping from her own wound, and only after quite a while did she raise her head to answer her, “No!”
Xu An’s face twitched. “Don’t you understand what I’m saying? If you don’t come with me, you will regret it!”
“Jiang Youwan is a complete villain through and through!”
Jiang Jinyi fell silent for a moment, looking at Xu An with a complicated gaze. “Did we get into that car accident together? Did you hit your head too? But you’ve got it worse than meβyou’ve lost your mind. The mental patient who was running wild at the previous hospital some time ago couldn’t have been you, right?”
Xu An: “β¦?”
Fuck.
In stark contrast to Xu An, the cold undercurrent hidden beneath Jiang Youwan’s amiable gaze was instantly melted away by Jiang Jinyi’s words, turning into a warm, gentle spring.
Pfft.
