Chapter 7: Chapter 004: Where Did This Rogue Come From?

Wang Jiazhi looked at the bodyguard beside her with a questioning gaze. Why did Brother Yao seem not to recognize her?

The bodyguard following behind Helian Jue immediately stepped forward and said with a beaming smile, "Sister Wang, ever since the President was injured, he has suffered from amnesia. Although the President has lost his memory, his injuries have not yet healed, so he was anxious to come see you. The President's feelings for Sister Wang are incomparable to any other woman's."

The bodyguard was extremely respectful toward Wang Jiazhi; after all, she was Lei Yao's confidante. Every time they made a mistake, they would come to Wang Jiazhi to ask for leniency.

Seeing the bodyguard's attitude toward Wang Jiazhi, Helian Jue understood that her identity was not ordinary. A plan suddenly occurred to him. With a smile on his face, he took a step forward and put one arm around Wang Jiazhi's waist.

The bodyguard's words just now had already made Wang Jiazhi's heart leap with joy. Seeing the sudden change in Brother Yao's attitude toward her, she didn't feel anything was amiss.

Leaning into Helian Jue's embrace, they walked into the office together, and all the bodyguards were shut out of the door.

Because they understood what would happen inside once Brother Yao went in.

"Brother Yao, where are you going? Don't leave!" After a short while, Wang Jiazhi's screaming voice drifted out.

The bodyguards standing at the door immediately took action. Two of them turned and rushed downstairs, while the rest of the men burst through the door.

"Brother Yao, don't go!" Wang Jiazhi craned her neck and shouted toward the floor below.

A bodyguard reached the edge of the window. "Sister Wang, what happened?" they asked anxiously, their eyes following Wang Jiazhi's gaze, but there was no sign of the President anywhere.

"Brother Yao jumped out the window! Why would he suddenly leave like this? Brother Yao still has unhealed injuries. Hurry and chase after him! If anything happens to Brother Yao, none of you will be able to take responsibility..."

Before Wang Jiazhi could finish her sentence, the rest of the bodyguards had already vanished from her sight. She walked to the door and, after confirming the bodyguards were far away, turned back to see Lei Yao emerging from the restroom.

"Brother Yao, I..." Wang Jiazhi's words were swallowed by Helian Jue's cold gaze.

Helian Jue didn't even spare Wang Jiazhi a glance. He strode past her and quickly departed.

Wang Jiazhi chased him out of the office. Watching his figure gradually disappear from her sight, tears of sorrow instantly slid down her cheeks.

Wang Jiazhi still clearly remembered that as soon as they entered, Brother Yao had pointed a gun at her and threatened her to help him shake off those bodyguards. Even though he had amnesia, she still couldn't accept that cold and stranger-like look in his eyes!

Helian Jue left quickly through another exit. When he entered, he had already observed the environment. His memory was excellent; without much effort, he found an exit.

Although he didn't know how to use a gun, he discovered that a gun was truly a useful thing. As soon as he brandished it, Wang Jiazhi turned pale with fright, and she nodded in agreement to whatever he said. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to leave so easily.

Late Night

On Taipei's Lover's Bridge, a tall man with a handsome face and a near-perfect physique stood alone on the bridge. He wore an Armani suit, which exuded a sophisticated charm of maturity and elegance.

On his wrist was an exquisite, minimalist CK all-steel watch, vividly displaying his prominent family background and exceptional taste.

Helian Jue looked at the distant sea, but the troubles in his heart only deepened. He had originally thought that by leaving the Triad, he could find news regarding the Kingdom of Loulan.

But who could have known? He had asked countless people, and the result was always the same: the Kingdom of Loulan had vanished thousands of years ago. Some people didn't even know the name "Loulan," and historical records of the kingdom were incredibly sparse.

This plunged him into despair. He simply could not accept the fact that the Kingdom of Loulan had vanished into thin air.

"Ah!" Helian Jue let out a roar toward the sea. In his agitation and frenzy, he rushed out into the road and was struck to the ground by an oncoming car.

Tong Nuanxin had only finished filming her scene at dawn today. Now, she was both exhausted and hungry. Seeing that there were few pedestrians on the road, she slammed on the accelerator, wanting only to go home for a hearty meal, take a hot bath, and have a good sleep.

Her mind was entirely focused on going home, causing her to lose focus while driving. When she realized there was someone ahead, she braked hurriedly, but she still collided with the dark shadow in front of her.

"Ah!" Tong Nuanxin let out a scream, her face turning deathly pale, and then she quickly got out of the car to check.

What met her eyes was a man in a black suit lying collapsed in front of her car.

Without hesitation, Tong Nuxin knelt down and gently pushed the man. "Sir, are you alright?"

Seeing that the man did not respond, her heart pounded with fear. She muttered to herself, "Heavens, I didn't kill someone, did I?"

Tong Nuxin forcefully turned the man over and reached out a trembling hand to feel his carotid artery. The next second, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She immediately pulled her phone from her pocket and dialed the 120 emergency center.

At the hospital.

Tong Nuxin watched the closed emergency room anxiously. "It's already been half an hour, why hasn't he come out yet?"

She took her phone out of her bag, intending to call You Ying, but at this hour, You Ying must have been asleep. She decided to handle it herself; besides, she didn't want to be discovered by the paparazzi. She only hoped the person she hit was safe and sound.

After a while, the emergency room door finally opened. Tong Nuxin rushed forward. "Doctor, how is he?" she asked anxiously.

The doctor took off his mask and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the injured man is fine."

Hearing this, Tong Nuxin breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood lightened considerably. She then asked, "How is he now? Are his injuries serious?"

"Well, this car accident didn't cause much physical damage to his body, only some minor abrasions. However, we discovered that his head had previously sustained very serious injuries. We just performed a head scan and found that he has a slight concussion, which might cause temporary memory loss." The doctor carefully analyzed Helian Jue's condition for Tong Nuxin. After the doctor left, Tong Nuxin walked quickly into the ward.

What met her eyes was an incomparably handsome man. Being in the entertainment industry, she considered herself to have seen countless handsome men and beautiful women, but she had never seen a man this handsome. Even his skin was so white and flawless that she felt a sense of envy and jealousy just looking at him.

Helian Jue lay on the bed. Turning his head, he saw a young woman in a white dress standing at the door. Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes held the depth of autumn waters, and her lips were red with white teeth. Especially those watery, large eyes—they looked exactly like Cen Xue's.

"Cen Xue," Helian Jue couldn't help but blurt out. But as the woman drew closer, he realized that the woman before him was not Cen Xue. His excited dark eyes gradually turned cold.

Tong Nuxin walked up to Helian Jue and said with a smile, "Sir, may I ask your surname?"

"Helian Jue." For some reason, this woman gave him an indescribable sense of familiarity, making him answer her involuntarily.

Hearing this, Tong Nuxin was secretly happy. Remembering his name proved that his amnesia was not too severe.

"Mr. Helian, I am truly sorry! I really didn't hit you on purpose. To show my apology, I will cover all your medical expenses. Where is your home? I will take you back."

Tong Nuxin observed Helian Jue discreetly. Judging by his attire, she knew his identity was extraordinary and that he was no ordinary person.

"I..." Helian Jue originally wanted to answer that his home was in the Kingdom of Loulan, but on second thought, even if he said it, this woman wouldn't believe him.

"You don't remember, do you?" Tong Nuxin asked in disbelief.

Helian Jue immediately nodded. He was just looking for an excuse! Besides, he knew nothing about this world, so he might as well say he remembered nothing!

"Then what should we do?" Tong Nuxin asked in shock. She had hit him so hard that he lost his memory; she couldn't just leave him!

Looking at the changing expressions on Tong Nuxin's face, Helian Jue's mood improved accordingly. He didn't know why, but he felt a special affinity for this woman, making him involuntarily want to be close to her.

"What do you want to do with me?" Helian Jue asked instead of answering. He didn't want to go back to the Triad.

"I..." This made things difficult for Tong Nuxin, but a sudden idea flashed through her mind.

"How about this! Since you are injured, why don't you stay in the hospital? During this time, I will go to the police station to have someone check your files. Once your injuries have healed, your information should be found, and then I can take you home, alright?"

Tong Nuxin realized she was truly clever. When the time came, she could just hire a caregiver to look after him, and then there wouldn't be any problems.

"No." Helian Jue refused without thinking. He didn't know if, should he stay in the hospital, this woman would come to see him again next time.

Besides, he didn't want to stay here. He hated this place, especially those people in white coats who kept touching him; it disgusted him. If it weren't for the fact that they were treating his injuries, he really wanted to strike them away with a single palm.

"Why?" Tong Nuxin asked, puzzled.

"Because I have amnesia now and have no one to rely on. Moreover, you are the one who injured me. You are the only person I know. Do you want to abandon me?" Helian Jue spoke pitifully, as if it would be against the laws of heaven if Tong Nuxin left him here alone.

Tong Nuxin yawned and checked her watch; it was already three in the morning. She was physically and mentally exhausted. Seeing that Helian Jue also looked quite pitiful—not only had he been hit by her, but he had also lost his memory—she felt too guilty to leave him.

Furthermore, she was tired and hungry and didn't want to stay in this place. After weighing the options in her heart, she finally decided to take Helian Jue home.

Tong Nuxin parked the car steadily in front of her apartment building. Just as she got out of the car, she was suddenly grabbed in an embrace. "Ah!" She screamed in fright. Where did this hooligan come from in the middle of the night? In the next second, she struggled and screamed incessantly.

At the same time, Helian Jue got out of the car and moved swiftly. He grabbed the hand of the man hugging Tong Nuxin and flung him away with force.

"Ah!" The man let out a miserable cry as he was thrown two meters away.

Before the man could even scramble up, Helian Jue was a step faster, stepping heavily onto the man's hand as he lay on the ground.

The man's loud cries came again. "Ah! Nuanxin, save me! I won't dare do it again!" The man looked pleadingly at Tong Nuxin, who was still standing by the car.

Only then did Tong Nuxin snap out of it. In the next second, she quickly ran to Helian Jue's side. "Quick, let him go!" she said, looking worriedly at the man being stepped on by Helian Jue.

It was none other than Zhu Yong, a man who had been pursuing her and was her co-star in this drama. She played the second female lead, and Zhu Yong played her boyfriend.
