Lin Rong continued, "Twelve years ago, did you have an accident? After that, you don't remember anything. I guess your parents just told you that it was just an ordinary accident."

Lin Rong's words slowly but forcefully reached her ears and her head began to buzz. She suddenly remembered the conversation she heard at the door of her parents' room that night and the dreams she had been having all these years.

"What do you know?" Qin Xiaotao's tone was tinged with urgency.

The corners of Lin Rong's mouth curled up, she silently smiled, "I want to know what happened that year, so I'll send you the address." She hung up without waiting for a reply.

The mother looked at her with concern. "Why did that Linjong call? What did she say? "

Looking at her parents in front of her, Qin Xiaotao felt a strange sensation. It was as if something was hidden by the fog, making her unable to see it clearly.

The address was soon sent over, and Qin Xiaotao stood up. "Dad, Mom, Linjong said she wanted to explain to me about her relationship with Shen Xi Ming. I'm going out for a while."

"Ai, just listen to what Shen Xi Ming has to say. We watched Shen Xi Ming grow up. There's no mistake, you don't need to go see that Lin Rong." Wang Lianxi was obviously worried.

"I want to hear what she says."

"Ai, then why don't you have your mother accompany you?" Qin Zilin also said. He couldn't be at ease letting his daughter face that Lin Rong on her own.

"No need, I'll go by myself." Qin Xiaotao was exceptionally determined as she walked quickly towards the exit.

The couple walked to the door and watched their daughter's back disappear into the elevator. They were still worried. "Seep feels weird today." Qin Zilin said.

"Yeah, I also think it's strange. Old Lin, let's go take a look. My heart isn't at ease right now." Thus, the couple followed Qin Xiaojing out the door. When Shen Xi Ming called, both their phones were quietly lying at home.

Qin Xiaohai took a taxi to the place that Lin Rong had told him about. When he arrived at the door, he realized that this was the hotel where he and Shen Ximing had been photographed in the online photos.

She hesitated, then knocked.

The door quickly opened. Lin Rong who was standing at the door had already changed out of her dress, but even her private clothes showed off her taste and her perfect figure.

"Why did you call me here?"

"Come in first, if you don't want to be photographed again."

There was no need to argue with her about this. Qin Xiaojing walked into the house.

The luxurious presidential suite at the top floor of Fu Yuan International was equipped with top-notch equipment. However, Qin Xiaotao's current focus was naturally not on these items.

"How much do you know about what happened twelve years ago?" Qin Xiaotao went straight to the point. She no longer felt that the woman in front of her was a perfect existence, just like how she had been in front of the camera.

On the contrary, when Qin Xiaohai looked at her now, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Linus picked up a glass of red wine and leaned against the French window, the same spot where she had been photographed the night before. She seemed to enjoy this gesture.

"It all depends on you. What do you want to know?" She spoke lightly with a faint smile on her face.

Qin Xiaotao took two steps forward. Looking at the scene that appeared in the photo, she suddenly understood something about the news online.

"Are you going to tell me or not? If not, then I'm leaving." After saying that, she turned around and walked toward the door.

"Twelve years ago …" Lin Rong Si slowly said. Seeing that she had stopped, he lightly swirled his goblet before continuing, "You are missing, but not missing. You have been kidnapped."

Qin Xiaotao turned and stared at her.

She took a sip of the red wine and continued, "Of course, kidnapping you is not the main thing, you are just an accessory. What they want is Shen Xi Ming, the eldest grandson of the Luo Family.

Qin Xiaotao's pupils shrank as she felt her heartbeat quicken. She subconsciously clenched her fists, feeling like she was about to push away the fog.

"Unfortunately for you, you're not a member of the Luo Family. Those kidnappers did not treasure your life that much. Thus …" She took out a stack of papers and handed it to her.

Qin Xiaoqin took it. Her hand was trembling, her heart throbbing with pain for some reason.

The words "rape and rape" stabbed into her eyes, causing her eyes to hurt so much that tears fell from her eyes.

"Now you know why you can't remember. It's called selective amnesia."

Lin Rong Si's faint voice sounded out. She felt a burst of dizziness, as if a string had been plucked from the depths of her brain. She looked at the many pictures taken of the crime scene, the old factory, the dim chandelier, the huge iron pot, the extinguished fire, the broken rope, the messy soft bed.

Familiar scenes, no, rather, hidden in the depths of her brain. His heart trembled violently as a strong yet familiar feeling of fear gradually spread throughout his entire body. In an instant, many fragments flashed through his mind, then he pieced them together to form a complete memory.

That year, she should have been 12 years old. Shen Xuming stood at the door of the Luo Family residence, waiting for his parents to come back from England. She was standing not far behind him because Grandpa Luo told her to tell him to go back first because the plane was delayed.

She rarely spoke to him, so she didn't really know him well enough to go up and greet him. So she stopped not far away, thinking about what to say.

When she finally managed to think of something to say, she stepped forward and was about to speak when a van pulled up in front of her and a big man wearing a mask lifted Shen Xuming in one hand and covered his mouth with the other and carried him into the van. Shen Xi Ming struggled at first, but soon stopped resisting.

She subconsciously went to pull the man. After half a second of hesitation, another person immediately got out of the car. Qin Xiaohai gaped, but before he could say anything, the man covered his mouth with his hand. A faint fragrance assaulted him, and he lost consciousness.

When she woke up, she was in an empty, dark old warehouse, her hands tied behind her back. Shen Xuming was beside her, waking up a little earlier.

Seeing Shen Xi Ming standing right next to her, she was about to speak, but he stopped her with his gaze.

Then, as if someone had come over, Shen gave her a light kick and quickly closed his eyes. He leaned his head against the wall and pretended that he wasn't awake yet.

Qin Xiaotao followed suit.

The man walked over, looked down, and kicked Shen Xi Ming. Seeing that there was no reaction, he turned his head and said, "Big brother, this little brat still hasn't woken up."

"Just wait another half an hour or I'll wake him up." The man's voice was rough and hoarse. His casual and vicious tone scared Qin Xiaohai so much that his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his heart started beating wildly.

The man glanced back at them. Fortunately, it was dark outside, so he didn't notice anything unusual about Qin Xiaohai.

The man went back to the group, who were eating a hot pot in a large iron pot.

Qin Xiaohai's foot was lightly touched, and then he heard Shen Ximing's low voice, "He's gone."

Qin Xiaojing opened her eyes carefully, exhaling deeply as she asked Shen Xi Ming with her eyes.

He cautiously looked at the group of people before carefully moving towards her.
