Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Do I Have a Sister?
After checking his pulse, Shen Yanhe also examined his head.
Sitting on the couch, Gu Yingxi maintained a calm demeanor, yet her eyes betrayed a hint of nervousness.
Song Yuche, sensing her tension, reached out and gently patted the back of her hand to soothe her.
Once the examination was over, Shen Yanhe had a clear idea and asked Gu Yingxi, "Is there a pharmacy in this villa?"
"Yes." Gu Yingxi nodded, her brow and eyes faintly revealing concern, "Junior Sister, how is his condition?"
"It’s relatively good," Shen Yanhe said. "There is indeed a blood clot pressing on his brain nerve. After three acupuncture sessions, the blood clot in his brain should dissolve."
"I’ll perform the first acupuncture session for him today."
Feeling a sense of relief in her chest, Gu Yingxi stood up and led Shen Yanhe and Song Yuche in the direction of the pharmacy, "That’s good to hear. Follow me."
Those of us who study medicine always set aside a room for a pharmacy wherever we stay.
In case we receive a patient with a complicated and rare disease who needs long-term treatment, it allows them to stay in the pharmacy.
Gu Yingxi isn’t short of money, and the pharmacy had everything it should have.
Whether it was Western medicine, medical equipment, or Chinese medicinal herbs and utensils, everything was amply stocked.
Inside, there was also a hospital bed and several chairs.
After bringing Shen Yanhe and Song Yuche inside, Gu Yingxi slipped away.
She didn’t want to watch Song Yuche being turned into a hedgehog.
It would make her feel uncomfortable.
Shen Yanhe didn’t mind her, she picked out a set of silver needles and disinfected them with alcohol before approaching Song Yuche, who was sitting in a chair, "It might hurt a bit when I insert the needles, so bear with it."
Song Yuche nodded in a very gentle manner, "Please proceed with the acupuncture, I will endure it."
He hesitated, then asked, "After three sessions of acupuncture, will my memory return?"
Shen Yanhe’s eyebrows rose slightly, "Do you want to regain your memory?"
Song Yuche fell silent.
To tell the truth, he had forgotten how he set out to sea and how he encountered the shipwreck, and also whether he still had any relatives.
Yet, it was undeniable that when the villagers of the fishing village saved him, he was also hoping that his relatives would come looking for him.
But after waiting for so long without any news, Song Yuche gradually lost hope.
What he now worried about was whether Gu Yingxi would keep him by her side if he regained his memory.
Song Yuche didn’t answer Shen Yanhe’s question directly, nor did he ask anything more, merely raising his eyes and smiling, "Let’s begin."
Shen Yanhe didn’t say much more, either.
She picked up the silver needles and began the acupuncture.
An hour later.
Song Yuche’s head had been turned into a hedgehog.
His brows were furrowed, a fine sweat had formed on his forehead, and he gritted his lips, enduring the discomfort coming from his head.
"I’ll remove the needles in half an hour," Shen Yanhe said, taking a breather and sitting on a nearby chair to massage her wrist.
Acupuncture on the head required extreme caution and heightened alertness; the energy she had expended in that hour was even greater than if Shen Yanhe had gone for a long run.
Song Yuche responded with endurance.
As time passed, Song Yuche felt the dull pain in his brain gradually subside.
In a haze, he seemed to glimpse a graceful figure flashing before his eyes and heard what seemed to be a crisp girl’s voice in his ear.
She was calling him.
"Brother."
This call "Brother" inexplicably stirred a mix of sourness and anger in Song Yuche’s heart.
This complex emotion lasted even until Shen Yanhe had removed all the silver needles from his head.
Song Yuche clutched his chest, turbulent emotions swirling in his eyes, and couldn’t help but ask Shen Yanhe, "I heard from Yingxi that it was you who asked her to look for me, so you must know my situation. I..."
He weighed his words, asking softly, "Is there also a sister?"
As Shen Yanhe collected the silver needles, her movements paused, and she looked towards Song Yuche with a deep gaze, "Did you remember?"
Song Yuche shook his head, "No, it’s just that a figure flashed through my mind just now."
Shen Yanhe composed herself and said, "You indeed have a sister, and it was she who entrusted me to find you." She narrowed her eyes and continued, "However, the affairs of the Song family are quite complicated. It would be better for you to regain your memory and then contact her on your own to ask."
When he heard her confirm the existence of a sister, Song Yuche originally wanted to ask why she didn’t come to find him herself.
But after Shen Yanhe finished speaking, he dismissed the thought.
Song Yuche silently nodded slowly.
After quickly packing up, the two left the pharmacy, and Gu Yingxi approached, "Is it over?"
"Mhm," Shen Yanhe stretched lazily as she walked out, casually taking Gu Yingxi’s car keys from the coffee table.
Her slender fingers twirled the car keys as she said, "I will come again next week. It’s getting late, so I’ll head back first."
Gu Yingxi waved her hand, "Alright, drive safely."
"Mhm."

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Network.
Guan Heng was escorted in by Jiu Fang and forcefully shoved forward, "Get in."
With injuries on his body, Guan Heng stumbled forward several steps from the push, and thudded onto his knees on the ground.
"Chief, we have confirmed it. The one who sent the information about the lady’s outing to the Crowley family was him," Jiu Fang said solemnly.
On his knees on the ground, Guan Heng stiffly raised his head.
He was now in the chief’s office at the Network’s headquarters.
In that broad chair sat a man with a tall and straight figure.
The man’s gaze was indifferent as he lifted his eyes towards him.
That calm look made Guan Heng’s blood run cold, cold sweat burst out on his back, his teeth chattered uncontrollably, and his body shivered involuntarily, "Ch-Chief..."
At this moment, Guan Heng felt a faint regret in his heart.
He regretted acting on impulse and rashly revealing Shen Yanhe’s whereabouts.
He had forgotten that the Network was full of capable people. If something happened to Shen Yanhe, and the Chief was intent on investigating, it would surely trace back to him.
Initially, he thought that Shen Yanhe couldn’t hold much importance in the Chief’s heart...
But the current situation was beyond his expectations.
He had never imagined that the Chief would actually stir up such a storm for a woman and would find him out.
"Jiu Fang, deal with him," Fu Yanhe withdrew his gaze and said in a cold voice, "Announce the results of the handling on the Network’s internal net, so everyone can see the consequences of betraying the Network."
Jiu Fang nodded solemnly, "Understood."
Guan Heng’s pupils contracted sharply, just as he was about to speak, Jiu Fang bent down and clutched his shoulder.
A "crack" sound.
Guan Heng couldn’t help but groan in pain, his complexion turning pale.
His shoulder was dislocated by Jiu Fang with brute force!
The pain in his body filled Guan Heng with a trace of panic, and he said with a trembling voice, "Chief, I was also thinking of the Network’s best interest, Chief!"
"Since the arrival of the lady, the Network has repeatedly provoked some families that should not be provoked. This time with the Crowley matter, it’s clearly the lady’s fault, yet she has not considered the Network’s interests in the slightest, refusing to hand over the antidote, leading the Crowley family to hate the Network even more!"
"I sent the message to the Crowley family only in hopes of making the lady hand over the antidote to them! That was all!"
"Moreover, the heir of the Crowley family promised me that if the lady handed over the antidote, they would no longer trouble the Network afterward..."
"They won’t have the chance," Fu Yanhe said calmly. "The Crowley family has already disappeared from the United States."
Guan Heng’s words stopped abruptly, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
The Crowley family...
Was gone?
