Chapter 542: Chapter 4 What on Earth Did I Do?
Just then, Hai Yunlan suddenly thought of something.
"Speaking of which... they said they wanted to see our ID cards earlier, is my ID card with you?"
She wanted to take a look at her own ID card, to at least confirm that the name on the ID card really was "Hai Yunlan." If the name was real, she could feel somewhat reassured.
Song Ran answered, "Your ID card is at home..."
"At home? You’ve got to be joking, right?"
Based on her observations, she had ascertained that there definitely was no universal health care system on this Southeast Asian island; at the hospital registration window, patients all pulled out their ID cards and paid with cash, and she had never seen anyone use a health insurance card. Since they had been discharged, the ID card must have just been returned to them.
Song Ran was lying!
"Are you trying to say that the ID card isn’t with you?"
"Um..."
"Then, can you show me my ID card after we get home?"
"I’ll go back and look for it. However, I might not be able to find it. Don’t worry, Yun Lan, you shouldn’t need your ID card for now."
Hai Yunlan felt even more suspicious.
However, after pondering for a moment, she did not continue to question on this topic.
What kind of people her mother and uncle in front of her really were was difficult to fathom. In such circumstances, rashly expressing her doubts about them might provoke them instead.
With no memory of her own and stranded alone on this island, even seeking help from the police might not be useful. Those gang members dared to brazenly establish checkpoints and assume police duties, which indicated that the police on this Southeast Asian island were not reliable. Even if she went to the police station to access family registry data, she did not have enough confidence to find the truth.
Now that she was certain these two people were highly suspect, it would be better to feign compliance for now, and then find a way to uncover the truth later. She was not going to just wait and see if her memory would return on its own.
The car continued on its way, and finally, they arrived in front of a detached small building.
"Here we are, Yun Lan, this is our home."
Looking at the house in front of her, Hai Yunlan still had no memory or impression, feeling completely like a foreign land. Her guard went up even higher upon seeing this house.
Just follow them inside like this?
Would she be trapped like a turtle in a jar once inside?
The thought made Hai Yunlan ever more vigilant.
Yet, at the moment, she truly had no suitable reason to make excuses.
While she was still contemplating, Song Ran had already grabbed her arm.
Having just come out of the hospital, Hai Yunlan had not yet recovered, feeling quite exhausted, and was thus led out of the car by Song Ran.
"You two go in and rest first, I’ll be going back," said Uncle to Song Ran. "You’ve already told Yun Lan everything that needed to be explained, right?"
Song Ran nodded, "Yes, I’ve explained everything."
"Good..."
Seeing their behavior now, Hai Yunlan thought that perhaps, at least for the time being, they would not do anything to her.
On balance, she knew that if the disappearance of the gang leader named Dan Cha truly had something to do with her, it would be best to obey the arrangements of her "mother" and "uncle" for now.
These two people clearly had something to hide from her and would certainly not tell her the real reason behind her amnesia.
In that case...
"Brother, why don’t you stay for dinner, and call your wife over too," Song Ran hurriedly said to Uncle.
"Let’s not, I’ll go home for dinner. I told your sister-in-law when I’d be home when I left. You also know that I’ve kept Yun Lan’s amnesia a secret from your sister-in-law, so I have to lie to her in front of her," replied Uncle.
"All right, brother, then go home early to be with your wife," said Song Ran.
"If there’s anything, call me right away."
"Okay."
...
Hai Yunlan returned to her own "home."
But what surprised her was that upon entering, she saw a photo of herself with Song Ran.
There was no father in the picture, and Song Ran had not mentioned him to her either; she hadn’t pursued the topic further, guessing that he was either divorced or deceased.
She picked up the photo, carefully examining her own image in it.
Honestly, she couldn’t tell if the photo was photoshopped or not. After looking for a long time, it was hard to discern.
Afterward, she had no choice but to put down the photo and say to Song Ran, "This photo... I took it before."
"Mmm... yes..."
Looking at the photo in front of her, she saw herself depicted in a very serene and elegant manner, seemingly slightly younger than now, probably still in school at that time.
"My identification card, along with my cellphone, they’re with you, right, Mom? Can I have them back first?"
"Your cellphone... it has a password set, even if I give it to you, it’s of no use, can you remember the password?"
When her mother said this, she went straight to a drawer, opened it, and took out a cellphone to give to Hai Yunlan.
Indeed, without knowing the password, she wouldn’t be able to unlock the phone, naturally unable to retrieve any information from it.
However, that presupposes that this indeed was her own phone.
"Then, Mom, I’ll go rest in my room for a while. Just call me when dinner is ready."
"Alright, go and rest first."
Hai Yunlan returned to... "her own room."
The room’s arrangement and decor, at a glance, clearly showed a strong girlish style, with dolls in many places, pink colored cabinets, and a bookshelf full of books, most of which were in Chinese.
She immediately began rummaging through everything, attempting to find anything that might hold interest for her.
But after looking, she didn’t find many things of value.
"These things..."
Just then, the phone in the room rang.
She immediately picked up the receiver.
"Hello, Yun Lan."
Who?
Before Hai Yunlan could respond, the person on the other end continued, "Yun Lan, have you been alright lately? That day, I was worried you might do something foolish... "
That day?
Foolish?
"Listen to me, Yun Lan, don’t go doing such dangerous things anymore. You suddenly took a long leave after that incident, and I was really worried."
At that moment, the room door was thrown open, and Song Ran rushed in, snatching away the receiver.
"Hello... Ah, Qiao Qiao, hello, I am Yun Lan’s mother."
Qiao Qiao?
After exchanging pleasantries with the person named Qiao Qiao, Song Ran hung up the phone.
"She’s your colleague and also a good friend. Yun Lan, I’ll tell you some detailed information about the people around you later, to prevent any slip-ups. For now, you should try not to go out. Actually, we had planned for you to stay at your uncle’s place, but your aunt suddenly had to return from a business trip early. So, for the time being, you can only stay at home."
"Mom," Hai Yunlan looked at Song Ran in front of her and continued, "Why did I lose my memory, you really won’t tell me?"
"I’ve said it before, you were randomly found unconscious and were subsequently taken to the hospital... I also don’t know what happened before you fell into a coma."
She was lying.
She was very sure of it.
And it was certainly related to that gang leader named Dan Cha.
"I’ll call you when dinner is ready."
Song Ran looked visibly guilty, she quickly left the bedroom, then turned back to say, "And if someone calls again, please don’t answer it."
After she left, Hai Yunlan reflected on what Qiao Qiao had just said.
"Don’t go doing such dangerous things again"...
This person named Qiao Qiao clearly knew something had happened.
Unfortunately, the home phone had no caller ID, so she was unable to contact this Qiao Qiao. Likely, Song Ran would not give her the contact information either.
She was trying everything possible to keep her from knowing the truth!
She couldn’t help but ask herself—
Before the amnesia...
What exactly had I done?
