Xu Ke and a few others lowered their heads in fear, not daring to make even the slightest sound.

They didn't know what the relationship between Shen Zhao and the person in the portrait was, so they didn't dare to speculate secretly or ask any more questions for fear of causing trouble.

However, Situ Rui couldn't bear to watch and took the initiative to ask: "Boss, what do you want from them?"

Mu Yanchen looked at them coldly. This was his most friendly look when facing other insignificant people. He bent his fingers and tapped the table. "It's like this. After a round of examinations, the doctor concluded that Shen Zhao was stimulated." He raised his dark phoenix eyes and took in the appearance of several people. Although his tone was flat, his pupils added a bit of horror. "I want to ask, what did she see or what did she encounter before she fainted..."

"Try to recall everything you can. I just want to know what happened at that time."

When the teacher asks a question, most of the students in the class hang their heads, afraid to meet the teacher's eyes, and then be called by the teacher to stand up and answer the question.

Now Xu Ke and the others lowered their heads even more, which made Situ Rui annoyed. He knew very well that the boss would not repeat what he said a second time. Of course, it depends on the person, but these people were definitely not among those who would receive his special care.

"You guys," Situ Rui stood in front of them, "The boss is asking you questions! Answer whatever comes to your mind. If you still choose to remain silent, then you can answer one by one!"

After hearing this, several people began to tremble with fear.

Situ Rui glanced at Mu Yanchen who was sitting by the window. Seeing his gloomy eyes, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly shouted, "Since you guys won't say anything, then Xu Ke, you go first. What happened to Shen Zhao before she fell into a coma that caused her to be so stimulated?"

Xu Ke was pointed out by name, and she gave up her hope. She slowly raised her head and met his dark eyes, which were like deep pools. She was transparent in front of him, as if he could not hide anything from her.

She swallowed and said, "I don't know what irritated her, but I've been waiting at the bulletin board since this morning. I can tell you everything that happened along the way."

Xu Ke didn't know whether what she said was right or not, he just heard Mu Yanchen said coldly: "Go ahead."

After getting Xu Ke's agreement, she slowly told Mu Yanchen what happened this morning, until she heard them say they wanted to go into the school history museum to see the handsome guy.

"You said the school history museum was open today, and you suggested going in, just to see a handsome guy?"

Xu Ke met Mu Yanchen's sharp eyes, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and even his voice trembled, "...Yes...I mentioned this to her before...I just happened to have the opportunity today..."

"So you saw that handsome guy?"

For some reason, Xu Ke heard a hint of sourness in Mu Yanchen's tone. This thought only lasted for a moment before she drove it out of her mind. Then she nodded silently as a response.

Mu Yanchen pursed his lips almost imperceptibly.

Situ Rui interrupted at this time, "What kind of handsome guy is this? Is he as handsome as our boss? Or as handsome as me?"

The solemn atmosphere suddenly faded a lot. Xu Ke, who had talked so much with the other two, gradually raised his head. Ma Shuyi was even bolder. She took out her cell phone and handed the portrait to Situ Rui.

Situ Rui was not involved in Mu Yanchen's high school years. It was not until he followed Mu Yanchen that he knew that Mu Yanchen loved Sheng Baiyi to the extent that he was willing to die for her. Then he heard some general information from Lin Han and learned that Mu Yanchen and Sheng Baiyi had known each other in high school. But he was always surprised that Sheng Baiyi seemed to have forgotten this person and did not recognize him at all.

He took the phone handed to him by Ma Shuyi, and his eyes widened in shock when he saw the portrait in the photo. Then he suddenly raised his head to look at the man who was still calmly sitting beside the bed, and then lowered his eyes to look at the photo. He almost took out a ruler to compare it, they were so similar!

This is also one of the few moments when Situ Rui made a fool of himself.

He was the only one who dared to walk directly to Mu Yanchen with his phone in hand, "Boss, look, this is you, right?"

Mu Yanchen lowered his eyes and looked at the photo. He seemed to be relieved. "Did Shen Zhao faint after looking at this portrait?"

"I guess... yes, because she stared at the painting for a long time, and we didn't know what she was looking at... Then she suddenly said she had a headache and fell to the ground..."

Mu Yanchen lowered his eyes to look at the sleeping girl, not even glancing at the others, "Situ Rui stays, the others can go."

The eviction order had been issued, and Xu Ke and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran out of the room, fearing that they would be left in this suffocating room.

After the girls left, Mu Yanchen said, "It was indeed me. Do you know who painted that portrait?"

He stared closely at the person on the bed, afraid to miss the moment she woke up.

"Sheng Baiyi?" Situ Rui asked casually, but seeing that Mu Yanchen was silent, he didn't dare to continue. That person was always Mu Yanchen's Achilles' heel, and that person was dead.

However, Situ Rui looked at the unconscious Shen Zhao and felt a little sad for her. He wondered if she fainted because she knew the origin of the painting. He glanced at Mu Yanchen again. Why would he provoke a little girl when he had someone else in his heart?

Mu Yanchen glanced at him. In fact, he knew what he was thinking, but in order to protect Shen Zhao's safety, he could not tell such a secret thing. He let Situ Rui guess whatever he wanted.

The real reason...

Mu Yanchen's eyes sank. He was afraid that Shen Zhao's memory would be restored because of this painting. Then...

He rarely showed hesitation. Would she still be with him? Would she choose to leave him because of this?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes as dark as the night, he glared at Shen Zhao solemnly, if that was the case, he would trap her here, so that she couldn't go anywhere, and could only be by his side...

Situ Rui only felt that Mu Yanchen's aura had changed again. As his right-hand man, he was very familiar with this situation, but this time he really couldn't guess the reason.

Mu Yanchen didn't wait for him to say anything more before saying, "Contact Lin Han and ask my high school hypnotist to come over."

He didn't say his purpose, but Situ Rui guessed it roughly. He had heard about that incident before. Lin Han was a gossipy person and had been with Mu Yanchen the longest. It was rare for someone as trustworthy as him to appear. When Lin Han told him about this, he told him all the gossip he had heard about it for many years.

This included that incident. According to Lin Han, Sheng Baiyi refused at that time. It was Mu Yanchen who had someone hold her down and hypnotize her. The hypnotist was really capable. Just like that, Sheng Baiyi didn't remember Mu Yanchen until her death.

But why did they call the hypnotist back now? Was he going to hypnotize Shen Zhao?
