Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 267 Mental Damage (Two Chapters Combined)
When they returned to the Gu family home, almost everyone in the family was there.

Gu Xiyuan noticed that the people who came in were still wearing yesterday's clothes and asked with some confusion, "Where did you go yesterday? Why are you only coming back now?"

Gu Tangtang rushed forward and said, "Grandpa! I have to tell you, we found my cousin! Let me show you!" Gu Tangtang showed them the photos she had taken with Yang Nianqing.

"Really?" The group was pleasantly surprised. Yesterday, Zheng Xiu had told them that Gu Rongrong had taken Gu Tangtang to find Xu Daiqing and hadn't returned. They had assumed they were at the Xu family home, but when they went to check, only Xu Jiahao was there, and he seemed rather strange.

The group gathered together to look at the photos on Gu Tangtang's phone. Xu Nuofei had always been the most handsome man in their family. Yang Nianqing looked almost exactly like him, but her temperament made her even more beautiful than Xu Nuofei.

"Qingqing is so beautiful." Gu Pengcheng's wife, Shen Lingfeng, exclaimed. She had given birth to two sons in a row, so she usually liked girls. The Xu and Gu families only had two girls, Xu Daiqing and Gu Tangtang, so she usually doted on them. However, she did not expect that Xu Daiqing was not her sister Gu Rongrong's daughter. Looking at that face that looked almost exactly like Xu Nuofei's, Shen Lingfeng couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, this is what twins look like."

Gu Mingyun's wife, Sun Jiao, nodded in agreement. "Indeed, she's much prettier than her only daughter, Gu Tangtang. She really only benefits from her sister-in-law and son-in-law."

This was the first time Gu Xiyuan had seen Yang Nianqing clearly. He hadn't seen any photos of Yang Nianqing when he was researching before. This time, he was absolutely certain that Yang Nianqing was the one who gave him the medicine last time, but the medicine smelled terrible.

"Why didn't you bring your sister back?" Zheng Xiu was looking at Yang Nianqing's photos with great interest, and then looked up at Xu Youhan and the others.

Although Yang Nianqing listened to their explanation and agreed to come back, everything still needed some time. Xu Youhan and the others told them everything about finding Yang Nianqing, going to Huaiqing City with Yang Nianqing, and Yang Nianqing's current situation.

After hearing this, everyone felt a little melancholy. The Cheng Ying family had really caused Qingqing a lot of suffering.

Regarding Xu Daiqing's attitude towards Yang Nianqing, the group stated it verbatim without embellishment.

"Qing, no, is Daiqing really that kind of person?" Shen Lingfeng asked in disbelief. From childhood to adulthood, Xu Daiqing had always been very well-behaved and loved by her elders. In their minds, Xu Daiqing had always been sensible, the kind of child that everyone admired. How come she sounds like she's very scheming now?

"I already told you she's good at pretending, but you just wouldn't believe me. From childhood to adulthood, whatever she's broken, it always ends up being attributed to me. I've already said it wasn't me, but you just wouldn't believe me. One should take responsibility for one's actions. If I were the one who broke them, I would absolutely admit it, but those things really weren't broken by me. Xu Daiqing broke the vase, Xu Daiqing broke Uncle's famous painting, she killed Grandpa's koi fish, and she lost Mom's necklace!" Gu Tangtang seized the opportunity to say.

Sun Jiao glanced at her sideways, "You're taking this opportunity to complain again. Are you trying to get revenge on her?"

Hearing her mother's words, Gu Tangtang rolled her eyes. "Have you ever thought about why I've hated her for over ten years? It's because she has character flaws! Hypocritical and fake compassionate, every time I'm the one taking the blame for her, haven't you noticed that whenever I'm with her, I'm always the one who gets scolded in the end?"

That makes sense, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Sun Jiao patted her and complained.

Gu Tangtang opened her mouth in disbelief and pointed at herself. Hadn't she said these things countless times since she was a child? It was just that they never believed her.

If that's really the case, then it means that you and these people were deceived by Xu Daiqing? Xu Daiqing's disguise was too good.

After a moment of silence, Gu Rongrong looked at Gu Pengcheng and said, "Brother, can you help me find a psychic to check me out? I feel like there's something wrong with my memory, like it's been edited."

Deleting or altering memories? Why are we suddenly talking about this?
Xu Youhan looked at Gu Rongrong in surprise: "Mom, did Fan Ruichen use his superpower on you?" When did they not feel anything? Or were their memories altered? How could this be? Why didn't they feel anything at all? If that's really the case, then Fan Ruichen's superpower is too terrifying.

Gu Rongrong glanced at Xu Youhan speechlessly, "Why would he change my memories for no reason?" Fan Ruichen changed other people's memories entirely to protect Yang Nianqing. She is Qingqing's mother, how could she hurt Qingqing? If that's the case, why would Fan Ruichen change her memories?
Moreover, given Fan Ruichen's abilities, how could she possibly detect the alteration of her memories? The reason she felt something was amiss this time was because she saw Fan Ruichen using his mental abilities. She just inexplicably felt that Fan Ruichen's ability was very familiar. Furthermore, she had some doubts about her physical condition, just like when she first met Yang Nianqing at the hospital. Although she didn't see Qingqing's face, she wouldn't normally be so arrogant and try to hit a stranger.

At that moment, a surge of anger welled up inside her, and she became violent, completely out of control, and unlike herself. She did something she had never done before: she wanted to hit Qingqing.

Therefore, Gu Rongrong strongly suspected that there was something wrong with her body.

Hearing Gu Rongrong say this, Xu Youhan touched his nose. So that's not true. He then talked about Fan Ruichen. After all, there are very few people with mental abilities, and even fewer who can modify memories, so it's no wonder that he misunderstood.

If the problem stems from a person with psychic abilities, it could be a minor or major issue. It would be best to have someone examine the person quickly to put one's mind at ease. Gu Pengcheng immediately made a phone call.

After a while, a 60-year-old mid-level psychic ability user of level 6 was sent from headquarters. The ability user examined Gu Rongrong in Gu Pengcheng's study.

The mental energy was carefully controlled into hundreds of threads, which then burrowed into Gu Rongrong's temples. Gu Rongrong shuddered, and her face quickly turned pale. Although mental energy is mental energy, it is still a superpower. How could a superpower that doesn't belong to you be comfortable when it enters your body? Therefore, when mental energy enters someone else's head, no matter how the user controls it, the person being attacked will feel extreme pain, unless their superpower level is very high.

Those who can use their superpowers like Fan Ruichen without others noticing or feeling any pain are truly extraordinary, which also reflects the high level of Fan Ruichen's superpowers.

Cold sweat slowly trickled down Gu Rongrong's forehead. She felt terrible; her head ached, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, and she was filled with rage, wanting to smash things. How could this be? Logically, the psychic who had come was already a mid-level sixth-grade, which was quite high. Their mental power shouldn't have revealed these symptoms, nor should it have caused her so much pain. "Rongrong," Zheng Xiu called out worriedly.

Gu Xiyuan patted her hand. The mental energy of the psychic was currently probing into Gu Rongrong's mind, and there was no room for error. Even a slight deviation could damage Gu Rongrong's brain. If Gu Rongrong wasn't completely relaxed and unguarded, the psychic's power wouldn't be able to reach the deepest parts of her mind, rendering the examination useless! So no matter what, Gu Rongrong had to persevere and endure the pain. She couldn't afford to fail at the last minute; they couldn't help her now.

All they could do was control themselves so as not to affect Gu Rongrong.

Half an hour later, the psychic finally withdrew his power, and Gu Rongrong couldn't help but feel a tightness in her chest and a sweet taste in her throat before spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"mom!"

"Sister-in-law!"

"Rong Rong!"

Everyone gasped and rushed to her side to check on her condition. Fortunately, Gu Rongrong was only a little weak and had coughed up some blood, but she was otherwise unharmed.

Zheng Xiu stopped examining Gu Rongrong's body and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "There's nothing seriously wrong."

"No, what do you mean 'nothing serious'? If nothing serious, why would she vomit blood? It's just a matter of a psychic examining her body and mind. How could she vomit blood? This is abnormal, absolutely abnormal!" Gu Rongrong was his only daughter, so Gu Xiyuan doted on her, almost to the point of spoiling her. His precious daughter suddenly undergoing a physical examination by a psychic was just routine procedure. Why would she vomit blood? As the director of the Psychic Bureau, he knew this must be something serious.

Zheng Xiu glanced at him indifferently. What was with that tone? Was he questioning her?

Gu Xiyuan choked for a moment. Wasn't he being too hasty? Why was he looking at him like that? It was rather frightening.

Avoiding Zheng Xiu's gaze, Gu Xiyuan hurriedly asked the superhuman he had summoned, "Old He, what's going on? What happened to my daughter?"

The superhuman, Lao He, wiped the sweat from his brow. Such meticulous work had left him exhausted, but based on his examination, Gu Rongrong did indeed have a health problem.

Old He looked at Gu Xiyuan. The Gu family was large and powerful, with many enemies, but to be able to manipulate the eldest daughter of the Gu family and Madam Xu so secretly, the other party must be quite extraordinary. "Chief, I've discovered that the eldest daughter has indeed suffered damage to her brain. It seems someone has placed some kind of restriction on her. This restriction will cause her to lose control under certain circumstances, doing things that are contrary to her personality, such as hurting people she wants to treat well, acting without thinking, changing her temper, or doing things she wouldn't normally do. It's even possible that a part of the eldest daughter's brain has been damaged, but I can't see what part she has lost?"

Speaking of this, he also had a headache. There were very few mental ability users, and even fewer who could cultivate to the intermediate level of level six like him. Even he couldn't see what Gu Rongrong had lost due to the injury in her brain. He didn't know who else could see it. Perhaps he could set up a mental ability group to specifically study what was going on with the mental damage in Gu Rongrong's brain.

"Director, I really can't figure out what caused Miss's mental damage on my own. Do you think we should set up a special team to help Miss repair that mental damage? Perhaps we'll know what Miss lost after the damage is repaired," Old He suggested after thinking for a while.

Hearing Lao He's words, everyone was also very surprised. Who was it that dared to harm Gu Rongrong right under their noses?

Feeling as if a bomb had been planted in his heart, Gu Xiyuan slammed his fist on the table in uncontrollable rage. A cracking sound echoed from beneath the table, revealing a thick, dragon-like fissure on its surface. "Who dares to lay a hand on my daughter!"

Gu Xiyuan took a deep breath and looked at Lao He with piercing eyes: "This has to work! My daughter has to be cured! Lao He, you'll lead this team. How confident are you?"

Old He shook his head with difficulty. "Director, to be honest, I'm not very confident. It seems that this kind of mental damage hasn't completely damaged Miss's brain. To be honest, I've never seen such an operation before. We need to study it for a while before we can draw a conclusion."

It's unclear what kind of superhuman possesses such abilities. Are they trying to control Gu Rongrong? But what use would that be to them? What is their purpose? Is it targeting the Xu family or the Gu family?
Gu Xiyuan didn't expect to get such an answer; even Lao He wasn't sure.
Gu Rongrong's breathing was weak, and she felt a little short of breath, but she still had a question she wanted to ask, "Uncle He, could what I lost be my memories?"

These words were like a wake-up call. Old He clapped his hands and excitedly pointed at Gu Rongrong, "It's possible! The most likely cause of the brain injury is memory loss! Miss, do you feel like you've forgotten something?"

Gu Rongrong shook her head and said, "No, I can confirm that I have never forgotten anything since I can remember."

Huh? How could this be? Old He was also dumbfounded. He thought Gu Rongrong was asking this because she had thought of something. Why didn't she feel like she had forgotten something? If she hadn't forgotten anything, then why did she ask this?
“Although I haven’t forgotten anything, I feel like my memories might have been altered?” Gu Rongrong asked doubtfully.

Changing memories! That's impossible, right? Does anyone really have that ability? "Can changing memories be done? I believe in deleting memories, since some psychic ability users can do that, but changing memories is very difficult. I haven't seen any ability user who can do that."

"Why not? Isn't Fan Ruichen one?" Xu Nuofei and the others' eyes lit up.

"Mom, should we have Fan Ruichen examine you? Maybe he can find something out?" Xu Youhan suggested, after all, Fan Ruichen's psychic abilities were the strongest he had ever seen!
