Chapter 3: Chapter 002: Won't Believe Easily

Leng Gang dragged the attending physician along, moving at lightning speed. Just as he reached the room, he saw several subordinates standing at the ward door, staring blankly inside.

Leng Gang roared in fury, "Get out of the way!" But the people standing at the ward door acted as if they hadn't heard him, showing no reaction at all.

The next second, Leng Gang pulled out the gun he carried and fired a shot at the ceiling. "Anyone who doesn't move, I'll shoot them dead!"

This finally elicited a reaction from the people at the door, who slowly stepped aside. Leng Gang dragged the doctor to Lei Yao's bedside, and in the next second, he was completely stunned.

Helian Jue weakly opened his eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar faces before him, he struggled to sit up, reaching out to pull the oxygen mask off his mouth, but as soon as he raised his hand, a sharp pain shot through his head.

It made him frown involuntarily. What was wrong with him?

"Brother Yao!" Leng Gang shouted in disbelief, looking at him with intense excitement.

Hearing this, Helian Jue looked toward the person standing by the bed. He saw a man roughly his own age standing before him; the man had good looks and a tall stature, quite a handsome fellow.

Looking further down, he was stunned by Leng Gang's suit. His gaze immediately darted around the room, and the architectural design and decorations he saw were unlike anything he had ever encountered, which surprised him even more.

He only remembered that in order to save Cen Xue, he had been hit by Black Wood Zana's poisoned arrow. That poison was incurable; he should be dead by now, shouldn't he? Shouldn't he be in hell? Why was he appearing in this strange world?

Leng Gang was the first to react, immediately stepping forward to prevent Helian Jue from getting out of bed. "Brother Yao, you are seriously injured right now and cannot move around. You should rest and recover your injuries."

Helian Jue wanted to resist, but he couldn't muster any strength at all. He felt weak all over, as if his blood had been drained, leaving him completely at the mercy of the man before him.

"Who are you, and where is this?" Helian Jue asked in a hoarse, cold voice, though his gaze drifted toward the people behind Leng Gang.

His words caused everyone present to gasp.

"Brother Yao, it's me, Leng Gang! What's wrong with you?" Leng Gang asked in shock.

Leng Gang's words made Helian Jue even more bewildered. He had no memory of having a brother dressed so strangely. Even if he did, he wouldn't be dressed like this.

Seeing that Brother Yao didn't recognize him at all, Leng Gang turned around in a rage the next second. He grabbed the doctor standing beside him and asked with fury, "What did you do to my big brother? Why has he lost his memory?"

He gripped the doctor by the collar with one hand and pointed his gun at the doctor's head, asking through gritted teeth.

The doctor trembled all over, a thin layer of sweat covering his forehead. He stammered, "I... I don't know what happened. You... please don't get agitated. Let me examine Brother Yao first to see what the results are."

The doctor's words allowed Leng Gang to regain his composure. Only then did he remember that Lei Yao hadn't been examined since waking up. He released the doctor and said fiercely, "Hurry up and examine my brother! If he still doesn't remember me, I'll shoot you dead!"

As he spoke, he poked the doctor's chest with the gun, scaring the doctor into taking several steps back. Only after seeing Leng Gang put the gun away did he step forward to examine Lei Yao.

Helian Jue watched the man in the white coat warily, secretly circulating his energy, preparing to deliver a fatal blow before the doctor could touch him.

Before he could figure out whether the person in front of him was a friend or an enemy, he would not easily trust anyone, but he was heavily injured and couldn't muster any strength.

The doctor also felt Helian Jue's hair-raising gaze, which seemed to warn him that if he took one more step, he would be killed.

Helian Jue's gaze made the doctor realize even more clearly that this man lying on the bed was ten times more terrifying than the man who had just pointed a gun at him.

The doctor said cautiously, "I am a doctor. I need to examine your wounds now to see the extent of your injuries. I have no ill intentions."

As he spoke, he made gestures. Seeing that Helian Jue seemed to understand, he finally gathered the courage to step forward and examine him.

Helian Jue looked at the doctor with suspicion. Seeing that the doctor was truly examining his wounds, he lowered his guard, but his eyes scanned the people filling the room. He had many, many questions now, and he had to find someone to ask.

His gaze slowly fell upon Leng Gang. Leng Gang immediately flashed a friendly, harmless smile and said hurriedly, "Brother Yao, I am Leng Gang, your brother. Do you remember now?"

He looked at him expectantly, his heart filled with joy. Seeing Brother Yao wake up made him happier than anyone else.

And Helian Jue had found his target. He planned to ask Leng Gang for clarity once the doctor finished the examination.

After the examination was complete, the doctor stood up and said to Leng Gang, "Mr. Lei is out of danger for now. As long as he receives proper care, his body will recover quickly. As for the memory loss, I need to discuss it with specialists. I will notify you as soon as the results are out."

"Mm! You may leave!" Leng Gang nodded and commanded in a heavy voice.

Hearing this, the doctor bolted out of the ward as if running for his life.

"All of you, get out." Leng Gang ordered his subordinates in the ward. Once everyone had left, he took a step forward and knelt by Helian Jue's bed.

"Brother Yao, you're finally awake." Leng Gang could no longer hide the excitement in his heart.

Looking at the unfamiliar Leng Gang, Helian Jue asked weakly, "Who are you? Why am I here? Where is this place?"

The string of questions made Leng Gang realize that Helian Jue had truly lost his memory.

"Brother Yao, I am Leng Gang. This is Thailand. When we were leaving that day, the other side had snipers lying in ambush. You were injured because you were trying to save me. You've been unconscious for ten days," Leng Gang explained carefully.

His eyes, however, remained fixed on the bewildered Lei Yao, hoping he would remember something.

"Thailand... shot..." Helian Jue repeated Leng Gang's words. He didn't remember a country called Thailand.

"How far is this from the Kingdom of Loulan?" Helian Jue didn't want to know where he was, nor did he want to know who the person before him was. He only wanted to leave this place and return to the Kingdom of Loulan.

"What? The Kingdom of Loulan? Big brother, why are you suddenly asking about that? Didn't the Kingdom of Loulan mysteriously disappear many years ago?" Leng Gang was completely bewildered.

The first thing Helian Jue asked upon waking wasn't the number of casualties among their brothers in this transaction, but rather about the Kingdom of Loulan, which had nothing to do with them? This was truly strange.

"What did you say?" Helian Jue asked in shock, looking at Leng Gang in disbelief.

Hearing this, Helian Jue tried to sit up excitedly, but he accidentally aggravated the wound on his head. The pain was so intense that before he could even rise, he collapsed back onto the bed.

"Brother Yao, you mustn't move around! Your wounds haven't healed yet. Don't be anxious. Once you've improved a bit, we will take you back to Taiwan," Leng Gang said hurriedly, trying to soothe him.

His recent movement had broken him into a cold sweat. He had only just woken up; if anything else happened, it would be a disaster.

Knowing he was heavily injured, Helian Jue felt helpless and could only stay here temporarily, making other plans once his injuries had healed.

Half a month later, Sanhe Society Headquarters, Taiwan

In the Chairman's office on the top floor, Helian Jue stood before the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands in his trouser pockets, watching the cars passing on the road below, though his mind was a chaotic mess.

Helian Jue had no idea what had happened. He couldn't integrate into this technology-driven world for the time being. Once his injuries stabilized, the people of the Sanhe Society brought him back to Taiwan.

From Leng Gang's mouth, he learned his current identity: the Chairman of the Taiwan Sanhe Society.

In its early years, the Sanhe Society was a gang built on drug trafficking and brute force. Today, however, the Sanhe Society was no longer the gang that only knew how to kill and fight. Under Lei Yao's leadership, they had ventured into business and legitimate commerce. Thus, the Sanhe Society now operated in both the underworld and the legitimate world!

He did not like people calling him Lei Yao, nor was he their Chairman. He was Helian Jue, the Prince of Yu from the Kingdom of Loulan. He did not like it here; he had to find a way to return to the Kingdom of Loulan!

How could a grand Kingdom of Loulan just vanish like that? He simply could not understand what had happened.

He turned and walked into the small room behind the office. This room was prepared specifically for him so he could rest whenever he felt tired.

Standing before the mirror, he looked at the unfamiliar face in the reflection. This face was no longer his. Who was he? Lei Yao? He didn't know this man at all.

This made his heart feel even more stifled. The next second, he threw a punch at the mirror. With a loud crash, the mirror shattered into pieces.

Leng Gang must be lying to him. Leng Gang and the others must be lying to him because they are afraid he will leave.

"No, I cannot stay here. I must find a way to leave. I must return to the Kingdom of Loulan." The thought of leaving had already taken root in Helian Jue's heart.

Helian Jue walked to the office door. Opening it, he saw the neatly lined-up bodyguards standing there, which made him frown.

"Good morning, Chairman," the men at the door said respectfully.

Seeing these people gave Helian Jue a headache. He took a step forward, and the bodyguards at the door all turned in unison, prepared to leave with him at any moment.

Helian Jue turned back into the office, and the bodyguards turned back as well, guarding the entrance.

"Call Leng Gang in," Helian Jue commanded in a heavy voice.

Upon receiving the order, the lead bodyguard took out a mobile phone, dialed a number, said a few words, and then said respectfully, "Chairman, Brother Leng will be here immediately."

Helian Jue nodded, but his gaze never left the phone in the bodyguard's hand.

"You, give that to me!" Helian Jue pointed at the phone in the bodyguard's hand.

Hearing this, the bodyguard immediately handed it over with both hands. Helian Jue closed the office door, walked to the sofa, sat down, and began to study the object carefully.

He wondered what kind of thing it was. He imitated the bodyguard's actions from earlier, pressing a few keys on the keyboard, and then held it to his ear, but he couldn't hear anyone speaking at all.
