Tao Tao was finally dragged by her senior to a small cafe on the corner of the street.

"Sister, you, you slow down..."

Panting, Tao Tao let go of Xiao Lan's hand, and sat down on the chair as if collapsed.

Xiao Lan on the opposite side was also drenched in sweat.

"No, no..."

I saw Xiao Lan glanced out of the window, then took Tao Tao's hand again, and led her to a corner of the cafe that could not be seen from the outside.

The waiter looked at the two in surprise.

"Sister..."

Tao Tao was so tired that her soul was about to leave her body, she felt that Xiao Lan was a little too exaggerated.

However, Xiao Lan shook her head at Tao Tao, then asked the waiter to order two glasses of juice.

"No, you don't know, just wait for me to tell you slowly..."

After Xiao Lan finished speaking, she and Tao Tao calmed down their heartbeats together.

Fortunately, the juice came up immediately, and the two of them picked up the juice and took a big sip.

"Let me tell you, Tao Tao, you must not go to our house."

Xiao Lan took out a tissue to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and looked at Tao Tao's serious face.

"Why, why?"

Tao Tao was very puzzled.

"Because Li Huan definitely doesn't want to meet you this time, she has a conspiracy waiting for you."

Xiao Lan said firmly.

"I, I know, it's just..."

Tao Tao actually knew that the woman would not be so kind to tell her the truth, but she still wanted to hear it, or rather, she wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Li Huan's gourd.

"So you can't go!"

Xiao Lan frowned and looked at Tao Tao's little face flushed from running.

"What do you want to know, I can tell you, so you don't need to risk yourself, they are too dangerous."

Tao Tao looked at Xiao Lan in surprise.

"You, would you like to tell me?"

Tao Tao didn't expect Xiao Lan to say such a thing. After all, she and Xiao Qiong are brothers and sisters, and Li Huan is also a half-sister. How could she turn to an outsider like herself?

"Yes, I am willing to tell you all the truths I know."

Xiao Lan looked at Tao Tao and said firmly.

"Whatever you want to know, I can tell you."

Tao Tao stared blankly at senior sister Xiao Lan's serious face, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"But you are like this, don't be afraid..."

Xiao Lan laughed suddenly after hearing Tao Tao's words.

"I'm not afraid, after all, I still have my brother to protect me."

Tao Tao could hear senior sister Xiao Lan's trust in his brother Xiao Qiong.

Tao Tao hesitated for a while, but finally nodded to Xiao Lan.

"Thank you, senpai."

Xiao Lan smiled after hearing this.

"You don't have to thank me. After all, we are really destined."

Tao Tao was surprised to hear the senior sister say this.

"us……"

Tao Tao thought about what the fate in the senior sister's mouth was.

Xiao Lan shook her head slightly, then said.

"Let's wait for Jiang Jinchen to tell you about this matter."

"Jiang Jinchen?"

Tao Tao was stunned, the senior also knew Jiang Jinchen?

"Yeah, I think, about this piece of truth, you should be more willing to listen to Jiang Jinchen tell you personally."

Xiao Lan looked at Tao Tao and smiled softly, then took a sip of the juice on the table.

"Okay, let's not mention this, then I will tell you about Li Huan's secret."

Xiao Lan put down the cup, her expression gradually serious.

Tao Tao swallowed nervously after hearing this, and looked at Xiao Lan seriously.

"My brother should have told you before that Li Huan came to Xiao's house when he was about two years old."

When Tao Tao heard this, she recalled the things Xiao Qiong told herself a few days ago.

She nodded.

"At that time, life was very peaceful. Although my father never came home and my mother always stayed alone in that room, Li Huan, as my older sister who was four years older than me, still took good care of me. "

Tao Tao looked at Xiao Lan suspiciously when she heard this.

"In other words, when Li Huan was young, he wasn't that bad, right?"

"Yes."

Xiao Lan looked at Tao Tao and nodded firmly.

"Li Huan took good care of us when we were young. At that time, my brother was very rebellious and was often injured. It was Li Huan who gave him medicine."

Tao Tao suddenly felt that Li Huan was a good sister at least when Xiao Lan was young.

"But... suddenly one day, she had a particularly fierce quarrel with her mother, and my brother and I were terrified. That was the time, Li Huan completely moved out of the house."

Seeing Xiao Lan's sad expression, Tao Tao frowned.

"A quarrel... what kind of quarrel?"

Tao Tao asked suspiciously.

"I don't know the details. I only know that there were loud and loud sounds of things breaking from my mother's room that day, and when Li Huan came out of the room, his face was still bleeding. "

Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, how could such a thing happen.

"Then... what happened next?"

"Later... when Li Huan came out of the room, he took a look at me and my brother, and then left without looking back."

"The look in her eyes... I will never forget it in my life. It is very decisive and sad, as if I have lost everything in my life."

When Xiao Lan said this, it seemed that he had returned to that day, and there were some tears in his eyes.

Tao Tao sighed deeply, she didn't expect that Li Huan was not a bad child since she was a child, but she actually had a kind side.

"After Li Huan left, my brother and I went out to look for her secretly several times, but found nothing, and was even scolded by my mother when she found out."

Xiao Lan shook her head regretfully.

"Just like that, we lost all contact with Li Huan."

"but……"

When Xiao Lan said this, she gave Tao Tao a meaningful look, and then she continued to speak under Tao Tao's puzzled eyes.

"However, things turned around when I was 11 years old. At that time, Li Huan had been away from home for two years."

"wait wait wait."

Before Xiao Lan could continue, Tao Tao suddenly stopped her.

"Li Huan... how old were you when you left home?"

Tao Tao suddenly remembered something, but she was not so sure.

"Eh?"

Xiao Lan was confused by Tao Tao's sudden question.

"When I was nine years old."

No, it's not right.

Tao Tao shook her head at Xiao Lan.

"But Xiao Qiong said that Li Huan left home when she was 15 years old..."

"What, what?"

Xiao Lan was also stunned for a moment.

"Impossible, I remember clearly that Li Huan left home when I was nine years old, and she should be 13 years old at that time."

Seeing Xiao Lan's very sure expression, Tao Tao fell into deep thought.

"Why did Xiao Qiong lie to me?"

Xiao Qiong actually played time games with himself, why did he hide the gap of these two years?

However, Xiao Lan also shook his head in doubt.

"I do not know either……"

Tao Tao rubbed her brow that was throbbing with pain, and sighed.

"It's okay, senior sister, you can continue talking."

Xiao Lan looked at Tao Tao's slightly pale face worriedly, and nodded.

"Well, let me continue. The turning point happened when I was 11 years old."

"On a certain day in that year, I discovered that my brother had a secret relationship with Li Huan behind everyone's back."

"Secretly contact?"

Tao Tao looked at Xiao Lan in shock.

Xiao Lan nodded with certainty and continued.

"Yes, at that time I accidentally discovered that my brother would sneak out alone every night, and then ran back the next day before everyone got up."

"I was very curious, so I quietly followed him to see where he went every day."

"Then I found out that he would go to someone's house every night."

Tao Tao seemed to suddenly understand something.

"That person, you mean Li Huan?"

"Yes, that's right, it's her."

Xiao Lan nodded.

"I secretly memorized that person's address, and then squatted near her house during the day one day, until that person returned home at night, and I didn't realize that that person was Li Huan, who had disappeared for a long time. "

Although Tao Tao thought it was unbelievable, it was within reason.

She had expected that the relationship between Xiao Qiong and Li Huan would not be so simple.

"They may be secretly plotting something, but I don't know."

Xiao Lan sighed, and then continued.

"But I can tell you that what they planned has something to do with you and Jiang Jinchen."

Tao Tao suddenly raised her head and stared at Xiao Lan with wide eyes.

"What, does it have something to do with us?"

A terrible idea suddenly appeared in Tao Tao's mind.

Jiang Jinchen, Xiao Qiong, Li Huan.

These three, must have seen each other when they were kids, and something happened.

And those things are likely to be related to me.

Although Tao Tao didn't know what the memory she lost was about, nor did she know the time and place where the story happened, but she was very sure that there must be evidence of the simultaneous existence of these three people in her lost memory.

Cold sweat dripped from Tao Tao's forehead.

Li Huan's hypnotism.

Yes, Li Huan's hypnotism.

"Senior sister, do you know whether Li Huan's hypnotism was something she knew since she was a child or something she acquired?"

Tao Tao leaned forward, looking into Xiao Lan's eyes without blinking.

"Yes, I have been able to since I was a child. After all, this is passed down from the ancestors of Li Huan, it's just..."

"It's just that I was not very skilled when I was young."

Tao Tao understood everything now.

At that time, something must have happened between her, Jiang Jinchen and Xiao Qiong.

Then Xiao Qiong should have made a deal with Li Huan, intending to use hypnotism to tamper with his memory.

But because Li Huan was not very skilled at that time, she failed and accidentally erased all her memories.

It's just... What happened to the three of them before that Xiao Qiong took advantage of this method?

And most importantly, she had actually been to this city before.

So, even with your own mother, are you hiding yourself for them?
Thinking of this, Tao Tao turned her head to look at the wall in front of her, as if she wanted to look through the wall to this city that hides infinite secrets.
