"Gu Zhen massacred the Shadow Society, and my master died." Su Lingzhi looked at her coldly, "You and Wen Han both know how important he is to me. I never received love from my father or mother, and I never received care and kindness from my elders since I was a child. He gave me all of them. He taught me martial arts and treated my illnesses. My mental examination reports got better and better. He pulled me back from the brink of death and gave me the courage to live again. During that year, although I had self-harming behaviors, I no longer had thoughts of committing suicide. Every time I was with you, Wen Han, and my master, I felt particularly at ease. The Shadow Society gave me a home. You also respected him and honored him. Why did Gu Zhen massacre the Shadow Society, but you watched my master die? Why?"

Zhao Xuelan remained silent. She would always remain silent about things she didn't want to say.

"Let me guess. Wen Han was testing a new drug without telling him, and he found out, so you blocked his way. You just used me to kill you. You knew I had deep feelings for Master, so you tricked me into going to Country C. Later, I almost exposed the truth, and you were afraid that I would retaliate. I became a stumbling block for you, and you wanted to kick me away. So you put a chip in my brain and turned me into a machine that you can control at will?"

"No!" Zhao Xuelan rejected, "I have never thought of it this way, and neither has Wen Han."

"Why exactly?"

"Susu, it's a done deal. I don't want to explain." Zhao Xuelan's voice sounded calm, yet a little ruthless. "It was Wen Han and I who ignored your wishes and tampered with your memory. It was our fault."

But if she had to do it again, she would still allow Wen Han to do it.

Su Lingzhi thought that no matter how big the disagreements between her and Zhao Xuelan were, no matter how much they had betrayed and hurt each other, she could at least get an explanation.

No matter how perfunctory the explanation was, as long as she told Wen Han, she would believe it, but Zhao Xuelan refused to give her even a perfunctory explanation.

A basin of cold water extinguished the anger in her heart, and she only felt irony.

"Okay, since it's a foregone conclusion, there's no point in saying more. Now that I have recovered my memory, can I take out the chip?" Su Lingzhi asked in a deep voice.

"No!" Zhao Xuelan said softly, "If you take it out, you will die. When we transplanted it... Wen Han and I knew this would be the outcome. If you force the skull to be opened and the chip removed, you will die."

"What I fear least is death." The pain in Su Lingzhi's eyes disappeared, leaving only indifference. "I'll give you seven days to discuss with the medical team and remove my chip."

Su Lingzhi sat down, lay on the rattan chair, closed his eyes, and refused to talk anymore.

Zhao Xuelan did not leave but sat down beside her. Su Lingzhi was wearing a long-sleeved dress, the material of which was very transparent. She could see the gauze wrapped around her arm. Gu Zhen told her that Su Lingzhi was self-harming.

She had seen it countless times, and her heart, which had long been hardened, would still feel sad because of her bleeding wounds.

"Susu, your memory can be tampered with." Zhao Xuelan's voice was chilling in the spring breeze, "Do you know which part is true and which part is false?"

Su Lingzhi suddenly opened his eyes, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Xuelan looked at her gently, her smile carrying an inexplicable sadness. "For the past six months, you have been happy with Gu Zhen, and all your memories are real. But you wanted to kill Gu Zhen, which was the instruction of the chip in your mind. In your memory, you won three Golden Horse Awards, fell in love with Qin Shen, and knew me for more than ten years. In that memory, I was ten years older than you, married, and had children. Every part was so clear, and you always thought those memories were real. Now, among the memories you can recall, do you know which part is real and which part is fake?"

Su Lingzhi suddenly felt terrified and had a splitting headache. The voice of her loved one was like a poisonous snake, awakening the deepest worries in her heart.

Even if Zhao Xuelan hadn't said it, how could she not have noticed it?

Can she tell which ones are real and which ones are fake?

She can't tell the difference at all!!!

Is it true that in memory, the lover becomes the enemy, and the enemy becomes the lover? Did the person she admired and respected the most really exist?

Why do my memories of a cursory visit seem like stored videos?

She seemed to be living in a huge fraud.

This memory maze, with circles within circles, has no end. She is walking on thin ice in the memory maze, so she is anxious to take out the chip. Without the influence of the chip, she can distinguish between reality and falsehood.

Zhao Xuelan whispered again, "How can you tell which words between Wen Han and me are true and which are false? Su Su..."

Her palm was against Su Lingzhi's cold cheek. "Are you scared?"

Zhao Xuelan was a little sad, "Don't be afraid, Wen Han and I won't hurt you."

"Why are you shaking? Am I wrong?"

"Yes, in your memory, Wen Han and I locked you in the laboratory regardless of your wishes. We are bad people... Are we really bad people?"

With every word Zhao Xuelan said, Su Lingzhi felt even colder. Beads of cold sweat dripped from his temples to his collar. "You..."

"Susu, memory can really deceive people."
