Chapter 29 - Lock of Memory

Si Shenxing's residence is not a secret. With extraordinary means, Guzai quickly locked the target - Fenglinwan Villa, a building exuding a mysterious atmosphere. This mansion once belonged to a wealthy man from several countries, and later it was passed on to the hands of Chinese people, becoming a place that attracted worldwide attention. "Okay, I will go there in person tomorrow." Guzai's decision was firm. However, Guzai's deputy reminded him in time: "Fenglinwan is well-known for its strict security. It would be difficult to sneak in easily." Xia Zhuo just said "um" softly after hearing this, and then said: "I know my limits. I will try to contact him first. If he is willing to meet, there is no need to go through so much trouble." The call came to an abrupt end. Guzai was about to devote himself to other matters, and his subordinates hurried over with a nervous look. "Brother Gu, something bad has happened! The surveillance at Huating Hot Spring Hotel has been stolen!" "Huating Hot Spring?" These four words were like a huge rock, instantly pressing on Guzi's heart. Huating Hot Spring, that was their sphere of influence, and a witness to their past glory and humiliation. In the past, a traitor appeared within the Anbu, and planted the seeds of sin in the private bath that Xia Zhuozhu often visited, causing her to lose her most precious innocence. During that dark period, Xia Zhuozhu was deeply trapped in the quagmire of depression, and the Anbu almost fell apart because of it. It was him, Guzi, who found a hypnotist at all costs to erase the painful memory for Xia Zhuozhu, so that she could regain vitality and the Anbu could be rebuilt. But the trauma left by that incident on the Anbu has not yet completely healed. Regarding that incident, he strictly ordered all those who knew about it to keep their mouths shut and never let any disturbance disturb Xia Zhuozhu's peaceful life. Now, the surveillance of Huating Hot Spring has been stolen, which undoubtedly makes Guzi alert. "Who is the other party?" he asked in a deep voice. "The other party's hacking skills are extremely advanced. Our people are trying to crack it... but it will take at least some time." The subordinate replied. In other words, they still don't know who the other party is. Guzi stood up from his chair suddenly, his face was livid, and his tone was firm: "Use all available resources to find out the truth as soon as possible!" He knew that although the surveillance had been deleted repeatedly by them, since the other party was able to steal it, it was possible to find some clues. He would never tolerate any outsider peeking into Xia Zhuozhuo's past. Innocence is the most precious wealth for any girl. He must not let anyone taint this purity. "Yes!" The subordinate responded and left, and the Anbu became busy instantly. Xia Zhuozhuo was unaware of all this. After resting for a while, she went downstairs to have dinner with her family. At dinner time, the family of four sat together, but the atmosphere was a little subtle. Xia Huaiwu was silent throughout the whole process because of his inner guilt. On the contrary, Xia Liu and Mrs. Xia kept putting food into Xia Zhuozhuo's bowl, as if they wanted to pour all their love into this lost and found sister. There was a mountain of food in Xia Zhuozhuo's bowl, but she did not mean to dislike it at all, just smiling and accepting the love of her family. Mrs. Xia felt that it was not enough, and while putting food into her bowl, she said: "I will make you a tonic soup later. You are too thin, you need to eat more." Xia Zhuo is slender and well-proportioned. Although she has a skinny beauty, she does not look skinny. However, in Mrs. Xia's eyes, her daughter always complains about being thin, and she wants to feed her fat and white to feel at ease. Xia Zhuozhuo's hospitality was hard to refuse, and she ate two large bowls of rice in one night, and she was so full that she could hardly walk. Mrs. Xia nodded with satisfaction and said, "Just eat more. Mom will make sure you are plump and white." She wanted to make up for the lack of care for Xia Zhuozhuo in the past and pour all her love on her. "You are not fully recovered yet, so it is not convenient for you to go out. I will let Xiaoliu accompany you to the mall to buy some clothes you like." Mrs. Xia said again. Xia Zhuozhuo quickly declined: "The closet in my room is almost full." "If you have enough clothes, then buy a few bags. There will be a welcoming banquet for you in two days, and buy a few more sets of jewelry." Mrs. Xia did not seem to give up. Xia Zhuozhuo was a little confused. According to what she learned from the servants of the Xia family, the current situation of the Xia family should be very serious. During the day, even the house was almost taken away. Why did Mrs. Xia still have the leisure to let her go shopping? Is there another hidden story? The more she thought about it, the more strange it felt. From the time she returned to the Xia family until now, Mrs. Xia had never worried about Xia Yunhai being taken away for investigation. Instead, she had always been around her. If Mrs. Xia loved her too much, Xia Yunhai was also her husband! Wasn't she worried at all? However, Mrs. Xia's insistence made Xia Zhuozhu unable to refuse, so she had to nod and agree. Xia Liu, the simple boy, was so happy that he was eager to take his sister to the mall for a shopping spree. He had dreamed of giving the best things in the world to Xiaoqi (Xia Zhuozhu's nickname) since he was a child, and now this wish was finally coming true. He couldn't wait to ask Xia Zhuozhu when she would go out, and Xia Zhuozhu just said lightly: "I can do anything." "Then let's go now!" Xia Liu said excitedly, and turned to ask Xia Huaiwu: "Fifth brother, do you want to go together?" Xia Huaiwu looked at Xia Zhuozhu uncomfortably. He... also wanted to buy something for Xia Zhuozhu to make up for his past mistakes. But he was afraid that Xia Zhuozhuo didn't want to see him, after all, he didn't trust her so much during the day. Xia Zhuozhuo noticed Xia Huaiwu's timid eyes and said in a low voice: "If Fifth Brother is fine, let's go together." A glimmer of light immediately appeared in Xia Huaiwu's eyes, and he nodded in agreement. The three of them soon arrived at the most high-end shopping mall in Shanghai. Here are luxury brands from all over the world, which is dazzling. When passing by a designer jewelry store, Xia Huaiwu stepped and said to the two: "I'm going to the bathroom." "Okay." The two didn't think much and continued to walk forward. But Xia Huaiwu took advantage of the two people's inattention and quietly walked into the jewelry store. He secretly thought about what kind of gift he should choose for Xia Zhuozhuo to express his feelings. Xia Liuze turned around and asked Xia Zhuozhuo: "Xiaoqi, what brand of bag do you like?" After he said it, he suddenly remembered that Xia Zhuozhuo had been living in the countryside before, and might not be familiar with these brands. Fearing that she would be embarrassed by not being able to answer, he quickly changed the topic and asked, "What color do you like? Big bag or small bag?" Xia Zhuozhuo smiled and said, "I'm not picky, as long as it can hold things." After that, she pointed to the sports brand store in front: "The backpacks there are pretty good." She does have a house in Kyoto dedicated to storing various high-end luxury bags, but she is still used to carrying canvas bags when she goes out. Because it is more convenient and practical to carry medical supplies. Xia Liu couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this: Oh, this poor little sister! The bags of girls in the upper class are not used to hold things? They are all for appearance! But his sister is so simple and innocent! He vowed to make her a princess! Xia Liu pointed the direction and led Xia Zhuozhuo to the world of luxury goods. At the same time, Jiang Ze was stopping at the Chanel counter, carefully selecting a thoughtful gift for Du Xinyue.
