The answer he received was less than satisfactory.
Neuroscience was a hard area to master in the medical sciences; moreover, Xie Mu’s lost memories were invisible and intangible.
The doctor hesitated upon seeing the youth’s expression of having just cried. In the end, however, she still honestly told him, “If you really want to recover your memories, go to places you previously frequently visited. You might be able to trigger memories that way.”
Frequently visited places…
Instantly, the youth thought of Bo Qin’s company. Wasn’t that where he used to work?
During a meeting, Bo Qin’s phone began to vibrate off to the side. Pausing midspeech, he turned his head to look at the caller ID of the person calling, his lips quirking up just slightly in a cold smile.
“Today, we’ll finish here.”
The man’s hold over the company was indisputable. Even if the meeting was only conducted halfway through, with one sentence from him, people began standing up from their seats, leaving the room one after another.
After a moment, only Bo Qin remained at the head of the table in the spacious conference room.
He looked down at the vibrating phone before accepting the call and placing it by his ear.
“Is something the matter? Can’t endure it anymore, my good brother?”
“What do you want before you’ve had enough!” Tan Tao’s furious voice filtered through, Bo Qin bursting out into laughter.
“Can’t hold onto that fraudulent mask of yours any longer?” He mocked, cutting straight to the point, “You know what I want.”
“My Xie Mu is currently completely submerged in your lies, and unable to extricate himself from them ah.”
Tan Tao’s voice immediately became somber, “No, out of the question.”
“Then, there is nothing to discuss lo.”
“I have to remind you; I heard your old man called a lawyer to the house. Say, what do you think he changed in his will?”
“Bo! Qin!”
The voice on the other side seethed, hating that he was unable to tear a piece of Bo Qin’s flesh off.
The beautiful man raised a brow, eyes full of his past playfulness as if he were not threatening a former friend of his, but a stranger.
“Even if you don’t give him to me now, I will still steal that person. Tao zi, we’ve been brothers for so many years, you know me.”

“What I want will always fall into my hands.”
“…If it’s like that, why haven’t you made your move yet.”
Bo Qin’s previous mischievousness became gloomy, his face frigid listening to the hoarse voice of the man on the other side.
“You don’t dare to.”
“Right now, the person he likes is me. If you touch me, he’ll despise you…”
Bo Qin didn’t speak. The person on the other end of the line was more and more certain of his hypothesis. During this period, he had all but collapsed under pressure, his voice turning increasingly frantic as if he were betting on something. “Bo Qin, you fell in love with him, didn’t you?”
“You fell in love with Xie Mu, who you abandoned, but it’s too late. The person he likes right now is me, it’s me, Bo Qin!”
“You can bankrupt me, get me wiped off the Tao family registry, but Xie Mu will always belong to me…”
“But, for this, I’m truly grateful to you. If you hadn’t left a Xie Mu who didn’t know anything in the hospital, I wouldn’t have received his unwavering trust. Do you know how soft his body is, know how adorable he is when he lies willingly under me? With one sentence from me, he would die for me!”
“What about you? In Xie Mu’s eyes, you’re nothing but a stranger!”
Bo Qin listened expressionlessly, his slender fingers tightening their grip on the phone. He coldly forced out a sneer, “A dog without its master.”
The call ended. Suddenly, the man smashed his phone onto the ground, his eyes furious.
Falling in love with Xie Mu? Impossible!
He just but misses his body.
“Bo zong.”
Someone knocked outside the door, provoking the man into a rage: “Get out!”
When he lifted his gaze, he actually met with the youth’s slightly red eyes.
[Ding! Bo Qin’s favorability: 75]
Bingo!
Upon receiving the prompt, Xie Mu directed a somewhat timid expression towards Bo Qin, “Bo zong, I have a matter to trouble you with.”
Bo Qin looked towards the youth with fixated eyes.
Eyes reddened, low spirits, a sobbing undertone.
It seems like he had cried only recently.
Under Tan Tao’s watch, who could make Xie Mu so aggrieved?
The man thought of Tan Tao’s tone of voice priorly, a glimmer of realization in his eyes. Immediately his facial expression changed, calculations already spinning in his heart.
Xie Mu saw a faint smile appear on Bo Qin’s handsome visage as he rearranged his clothing like a refined gentleman.
“Come, let’s walk to my office.”
“You’re an incredibly outstanding secretary; your work ability is irrefutable. You have helped me negotiate many important deals.”
Bo Qin cupped a cup of coffee, blowing at it. His pair of upturned narrow eyes landed on the youth’s uneasy expression.
He sipped a small mouthful of coffee, showing an easy smile, “How come you suddenly decided to ask this question? These things, did Tao zi not tell you?”
The look in Xie Mu’s eyes was uncomfortable, especially whenever he met the man’s gaze, his face instantly tensing.
Coafg jii, ktja tf tjv fzqfglfcmfv qglbg kjr fcbeut ab wjxf tlw kjgs bo Db Hlc.
Bo Qin understood this in his heart, and because of his understanding, he was increasingly curious. How did Xie Mu have such bravery to walk into a tiger's mouth when he was still so terrified of him.
“Tbe vbc’a tjnf ab tlvf ogbw wf ilxf atlr.”
Bo Qin’s gaze darkened upon seeing the youth’s body tense like a rabbit preparing to dart away. He gentled his expression slightly as if he were someone with a good temper.
“Before I was not willing, still wanting to get back together with you, but now, I’ve thought it through.”
When he spoke, he deliberately let through a little bitterness. As intentioned, Xie Mu took the bait, round eyes shining with confusion. He repeated murmuringly, “Get back together?”
So indeed, his memory still is not completely recovered.
Bo Qin had already strategized mentally, intensifying his bitterness, “Yes. Tao zi didn’t tell you ba. Before your car accident, I was your boyfriend, but then he stole you away from me. The anger got to me, so my attitude towards you wasn’t good.”
His speech was full of holes, but it was enough for a gullible Xie Mu with a blank slate.
Xie Mu’s facial expression became even more confused.
His lover had never mentioned this to him.
Bo Qin had a full view of the youth’s facial expressions, reviewing in his head the question he had asked. He squinted his eyes, speaking softly, “When we were together, Tao zi was really interested in you. He always did like your type.”
His words were like hook, line, and sinker. The youth looked up instantly, “He, he was so good to me because he liked the old me…”
“There isn’t an old you, xiao Mu. You have always been just you.” The man spoke unhurriedly as if he were reminiscing, each word a knife cutting into the youth’s heart.
“It was just that Tao zi has always had a preference for the elite type. Xiao Mu, currently, you’ve lost your memories and you no longer have the experiences and skills that you had before. Maybe he’s a little disappointed?”
Clearly, he had only asked a question, but Bo Qin saw the youth’s face pale, eyes fill with certainty.
“No, it’s not, he’s only…upset…”
The youth was already convinced of it, only unwilling to admit it, using a weak excuse to excuse his lover. He could not imagine that his witless expression had long exposed him.
“Tan Tao lost his temper at you?”
Bo Qin furrowed his brows, intoning heavily, “He’s someone with a very patient temper. If he truly was unhappy with you xiao Mu, then you really have to be careful.”
The 19-year-old youth had yet to fully enter society, and he was scared stiff, his face pallid. He subconsciously directed a plea towards the man in front of him, “Bo zong, what should I do…”
“I, I no longer remember the things from before. I want to help him, but I…”
“Don’t be scared, don’t be scared.”
The man stood up, his slender hand landed kindly onto Xie Mu’s shoulders, his lightly calloused fingers drawing circles, “I will help you. Were you not brought out from under my tutelage before?”
Bo Qin’s voice was alluring and steady, making people unable to resist putting their trust in him.
His eyes landed on the wide expanse of the youth’s fair skin, imagining the relish of gently biting down, his lips slowly quirking up.
Looks like his little lost delicacy would land in the palm of his hand very soon.
