Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Healing Third Brother + Fourth Alias Goes Live
The young boy clearly couldn’t fully grasp the meaning of the word "future," his expression somewhat bewildered.
Lu Sheng continued earnestly, "The time ahead is long, and life is always full of storms and bumps."
"Sister hopes that you can be like the sunflower in your hand, never fearing the storm, always facing the sun, always brave."
Little Lu Ziye blinked blankly.
He didn’t recognize the sister in front of him, nor did he understand why this sister suddenly said such words to him.
But he still held the cotton candy tightly, as if solemnly nodding his head, earnestly responding, "I promise sister, I will be a happy person!"
Then Lu Sheng touched his head again and said softly, "Actually, I know that although you came to the amusement park today, you weren’t really happy."
The young boy was surprised and stared at Lu Sheng with wide eyes, "How could sister know?"
"Because sister has a superpower, she can hear other people’s thoughts," Lu Sheng looked into the young boy’s beautiful eyes, "I know what you really want is not to come to the amusement park, nor to eat this string of cotton candy, right?"
"What you want is your mom, who has recently been preoccupied with taking care of your two younger brothers, to spend a whole day with you alone."
The little boy’s eyes grew even wider, unable to believe that superpowers truly existed in this world.
"Look over there—" Lu Sheng suddenly squinted her eyes and pointed toward the direction of the amusement park entrance, where an elegantly dressed woman was standing and looking around.
Seeing Jiang Ting’s figure, the little boy’s eyes instantly lit up, showing unbelievable joy.
With a burst, he clenched the cotton candy in his hand and stood up, bounding towards the entrance while happily shouting, "Mom—"
Lu Sheng watched the little boy’s retreating figure, her eyes also rippling with gentle warmth.
After opening her eyes, Lu Sheng took a deep breath, this time delving deep into the memory in front of Lu Ziye.
She altered the original memories of the Third Brother; the scene just now would be retained in Third Brother’s memory.
In this scene, the human trafficker did not appear in front of Third Brother, nothing happened.
Thus, she also had to delete all the related memories from the original timeline about being kidnapped by that human trafficker, being imprisoned, escaping, receiving medical treatment, and self-harm, erasing all his psychological scars from the root.
After an unknown period, Lu Sheng finally took a long breath and slowly opened her eyes.
Last night and today, whether it’s healing Fourth Brother’s wounds or now altering Third Brother’s memory, it all consumed a substantial amount of her Soul Power.
Her previously accumulated Soul Power mostly came from the admiration of netizens during her appearances on the internet.
But as the Soul Power was consumed, much of this human admiration would disappear.
To accumulate Soul Power again, she would need to find a suitable opportunity to boost public favor.
About an hour later, Lu Ziye gradually came to from his slumber.
The moment he woke up, his expression was clearly bewildered. But the previously vacant eyes had now brightened and gradually regained clarity.
When he saw Lu Sheng and realized he was in Lu Jingyan’s room, Lu Ziye appeared even more confused.
"...Sweetie?"
Lu Ziye propped himself up on the bed, feeling like he had been run over by something, and couldn’t help but hiss, "...What happened? Wasn’t there a party at home, why am I in big brother’s room?"
Lu Ziye’s memory still lingered on last night’s party.
After altering Third Brother’s memory just now, Lu Sheng had sent a text message to Lu Jingyan, asking him to have someone clean up the house.
Now, both inside and outside the room of the big brother and the rooms of the third and fourth brothers had been tidied up clean, leaving no trace of anything unusual.
And hearing this familiar and dear address, Lu Sheng finally let go of her worries.
"Last night, the living room light fell and knocked you unconscious, and you have been asleep until now," Lu Sheng said, undisturbed.
"...The light hit my head?"
As Lu Ziye spoke, he touched his head which had swelled terribly from hitting the wardrobe last night, "No wonder my head hurts so much, it feels like I can’t remember things clearly."
"Yes, I was worried that Third Brother might have a concussion."
Lu Sheng gently touched Lu Ziye’s head, speaking in a relaxed tone, "But it’s okay, even if the third brother’s brain got boggled, with his stunning face and physique, there will be lots of people who like him."
Lu Ziye was amused by Lu Sheng’s serious tone and ruffled the girl’s hair with his hand: "Are you still my real sister? Can’t you wish better for your brother?"
"I’m just complimenting how handsome the third brother looks, it’s a fact," Lu Sheng said with curved eyes, as if nothing had happened before.
After letting Lu Ziye rest a bit more in the room, Lu Sheng walked out of the room.
During this past hour, the eldest brother and Jiang Ting had been anxiously waiting outside, their hearts hanging. Seeing her finally come out, their hearts lifted to their throats.
Unable to help herself, Jiang Ting quickly approached and asked first: "Lu Sheng, your third brother, is he..."
"Third brother is alright now, he won’t have any more episodes," Lu Sheng said.
Jiang Ting suddenly widened her eyes, incredulously surprised. She exclaimed, opening her mouth, "...Really?! How did you do it?"
"I once learned a psychological hypnosis technique that can alter memories," Lu Sheng said, "I’ve changed the memory of when the third brother was kidnapped by a human trafficker as a child."
"In simple terms, now in third brother’s memory, after playing in the amusement park, he just went home, none of the abductions, incarcerations, and killings ever happened."
"Without those persistent psychological shadows haunting him for so many years, and not remembering anything about the trafficker in the red dress, he won’t have any more episodes."
"You mean... your third brother doesn’t remember any of his experiences from his childhood, and he’s now completely normal?" Tears nearly sprang to Jiang Ting’s eyes as she asked with trembling lips.
"Aunt Jiang," Lu Sheng looked at Jiang Ting, "Third brother has always been normal, he was just ill before, but now he’s healed and will be healthy and happy from now on."
Hearing this, "he will be healthy and happy from now," Jiang Ting couldn’t hold back anymore and tears suddenly welled up.
She almost instinctively grabbed Lu Sheng’s hand, too moved to speak, and after a long moment, she finally said, "Thank you... thank you, Lu Sheng."
"Thank you for saving your fourth brother and helping your third brother step out of the shadows..." Jiang Ting said with a choked voice, "You are a good child, it was Auntie who wronged you before."
This was probably the first time since Lu Sheng had been brought back to the Lu Family that Jiang Ting talked to her with such an attitude.
Suddenly thinking of something, she told Jiang Ting to wait a moment and returned to her room.
Two minutes later, she came back to Jiang Ting holding something that looked like an envelope.
"Aunt Jiang," Lu Sheng handed the slightly worn envelope to Jiang Ting, "This is the letter my mother gave me before she died, intended for you after I arrived in Jiang City."
"I’ve never opened this letter, and I don’t know what’s written inside. I never found a suitable opportunity to give it to you, please take a look now."
Jiang Ting stared at the envelope in shock.
A letter from Du Ran to her?
Du Ran was her husband’s ex-wife and had secretly tempted her husband and got pregnant in the countryside.
To say they were enemies was an understatement.
Had she known about this when Du Ran was already dead, she would definitely have raced to the countryside to have a severe confrontation with Du Ran.
And now, before dying, Du Ran had written a letter to her, asking her daughter to bring it?
Lu Sheng had anticipated Jiang Ting’s astonishment.
Had Jiang Ting’s attitude towards her not drastically changed, she might not have brought out the letter.
After all, if it had been the old Jiang Ting, upon hearing the letter was from Du Ran, she might have torn it in two right there and then.
After giving the letter to Jiang Ting, Lu Sheng returned to her room. She needed to change clothes and go out for an important matter.
As she walked out of the Lu Family’s gate, the girl wore a baggy black sweatshirt and light blue skinny jeans, with plain canvas shoes on her feet.
She wore a baseball cap, somewhat unfashionable black framed glasses, and a mask, covering most of her beautiful and bright face, truly keeping a low profile.
The taxi she had called in advance was already waiting outside.
"Here comes the young lady—"
As Lu Sheng got in, the taxi driver asked, "Miss, let me confirm again, the place you want to go is the China Biological Pharmaceutical Research Institute, right?"
Lu Sheng sat up straight in the back seat, pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose, and nodded: "Yes."
