"Did you finish the analysis?" Mr. Liu asked right after he entered the hut.
"Yes. But the length of her 'treatment' depends on her response." Mr. Di answered.
Mr. Liu nodded. "Give the details of your analysis."
"Based from my observation, her memories were sealed off. Since there was no evidence that she had head trauma and no trace of any chemical inducing amnesia, I'm left with one possibility."
"And that is?" Mr. Liu asked. He gave the man the medical report of the young woman earlier. It contained the tests the hospital did to her the previous day.
"It's a special kind of treatment." Mr. Di answered and started to explain the process.
Normally it requires the participation of the patient itself but it could also carry out the 'treatment' even without her consent. But since the administrator wouldn't know which part of the memories should be sealed-off, the administrator could only seal everything. This would leave the person, Han Meixiu in this case, to not remember everything prior to the time she woke up.
Making Han Meixiu unable to recall her memories is easier than actually helping her removing that 'seal'. It was like his mistake in life. It was easier to make but it was harder to eventually correct it. Especially if the person wasn't around anymore. His chance has long been gone.
Mr. Di tried to continue discussing the process to Mr. Liu.
Han Meixiu silently listened. Mr. Di already gave her an idea of the entire process earlier thus when the latter was talking to her father in law she fell on her own train of thoughts.
Based from the was the two of the men talking, they clearly knew each other. What she was wondering about was how did Mr. Liu knew Mr. Di. The latter was guarded by Major Li. It's either he's a prominent figure or a fugitive.
But based from his gentle looks he didn't seem like a bad person. Or maybe she's wrong?
On their way back to their car, only Sigma escorted them. Like always, Han Meixiu remained quiet only picking up bits of information while the two were talking non stop.
Mr. Liu got off somewherre and only Han Meixiu went back to the Liu residence.

Because Liu Zijian was swarmed with seemingly endless work, he didn't realize that it was already night time. Although his meal was provided, he barely touched them. He wanted to finish as much as he could in Q City so they could go back to K Country the soonest possible time.
When he came home, the first thing he saw was his wife sleeping on the sofa in the living room. His originally irritated and tired complexion suddenly soften as he approached the woman.
Han Meixiu, after dinner, decided to wait for Liu Zijian to tell him the 'treatment' she'll be receiving starting the next day. But she miscalculated her husband's arrival and eventually fell asleep waiting for him.
He carefully lifted her up. Usually she would wait in their room but maybe due to the absence of her memories, she preferred to wait in the living room as she would feel safer.
The young woman subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and softly rubbed her head on his chest. Liu Zijian's lips arched slightly forming an almost non existent smile but enough to express his contentment.
It was only when he was placing her on the bed that she woke up.
Han Meixiu suddenly felt sheepish. She remembered the comfortable feeling she felt earlier and her indulgence action. She immediately hide her embarrassment.
"You just came back?"
"En." He simply answered.
"Have you eaten your dinner?"
"A little. You could have wait here instead of the living room."
She actually planned to wait in their room but after talking with her mother in law, she opted to stay a little longer to watch TV. Unfortunately, she's not really fan of superficial stories shown and news only made her more confused. Or maybe simply because she's not just the type of person who enjoys watching TV.
After scanning different channels, she eventually turn it off and made herself comfortable on the sofa. Eventually, she fell asleep.
"If you're hungry I can ask someone to prepare something for you."
"It's okay. You can sleep. Don't worry about me."
"Jian... I have something to tell you." Han Meixiu started. Her father in law instructed her to tell Liu Zijian about her 'treatment'. But since she didn't know how to start, she was actually a little bit conflicted.
Liu Zijian stopped for a while as he was unbuttoning his shirt. He then moved closer to her and sat on the bed. The few buttons exposed his firm chest and the subtle manly scent attacked the young woman.
She stared for a time on that exposed skin and scolded herself for a while before she could gather back to her senses again.
Seeing her reaction, Liu Zijian maintained his reaction but his eyes were already betraying him.
"I'm going to have a treatment. It will start tomorrow. Uhmm... I will be staying there for couple of days."
"You mean in that camp?" Liu Zijian asked. He knew where the two of them went earlier after he met his father. He normally wanted to ask his wife to come to LCG after their visit in the camp but since he was extremely busy, he changed his mind. It would be better for him to let Han Meixiu rest.
"Yeah."
"Alright. I'll escort you there tomorrow." He said with finality as he saw that Han Meixiu wanted to react.
"O...Okay. But aren't you busy?"
"It's fine." He simply answered. Since she won't be home for couple of days, then he could use the time to finish everything. By the time she's done, then they could leave.
Han Meixiu nodded. She didn't comment further and lowered her head. She really didn't want to bother him but since he insisted she could only agree.
"Anything else?"
His voice made her look at him again. There were indeed questions she wanted to ask. Maybe it's the time to do it.
"Jian, how did we meet?"
A playful smile slowly emerged on his face that made the entire field of a warm beautiful sunset paled in comparison. His eyes glistened as if crystals suddenly started emitting their dazzling lights.
"You molested me." He said in a low intoxicating voice almost whispering on her ear.
His breath tickled her senses and her brain stopped working for a time, enjoying the sensation. When his words finally sunk in her eyes widened.
"What?!?" Her breath halted and suddenly she didn't want to meet Mr. Di for her treatment.
