Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Chapter 498 - 498 Failure?

Sheng Ruming had been taking several treatments from world-renowned doctors and psychiatrists. He wanted to remember everything as soon as possible. Besides Luo Lixi, Sheng Ruming was worried about other matters too. 

Wei Airan's nonstop banter started again after Luo Lixi left the Ming city. She would ask when he would marry Luo Lixi. When he announced that he's not sure, the old woman showed her fangs and bashed him nonstop on the phone. 

And, he got mad whenever she would admonish him. At that time even though he knew that she was his mother, he still felt chaotic inside. All in one, he was in urgent need to remember all of his memories.

Also, he needed to know how and why someone assaulted him and he lost his memories.

Today, the doctors were optimistic that he would have some improvement. They had been working diligently for the past few weeks and had used up a lot of rare and precious medicine on him. 

At first, they were shocked that someone operated on Sheng Ruming so that he would lose certain memories. It was shocking to them that that person succeeded. 

They were curious about this mysterious matter and willingly came forward to help him as well. 

After all, no money and influence could force them to come out from their little dungeons and they came on their own volition to study his matter as well.

The man on the patient's chair was in deep sleep. He was breathing so calmly that it seemed he was having a peaceful sleep. 

The other people were waiting beside him with expectation and anxiety. If he couldn't get any better even after so much work, then they would have no other choice but to operate on his brain.

But at that moment the man who had a serene expression was undergoing a huge turmoil inside. The huge effort that the doctors and psychiatrists had spent on him for the past month finally kicked in and the man recovered most of his memories. 

But at the same time, there was another thing that made him flustered, that was some memories that he knew didn't belong to him.

The memories of when he spent painful days like a dead person for that woman. He would split himself between work and an unknown child who looked just like her. 

Even though he knew in his heart that it was impossible, finally he realized something. 

After a long time, when the doctor and the psychiatrists were thinking of the worst-case scenario, the man finally opened his. 

Those black orbs were blank as if the light in them hadn't come back yet. Xiao Huang, who had waited eight hours behind the glass wall, finally reacted and hurriedly came into the room.

He stood beside Sheng Ruming and gently called out, "Boss…" 

Silence. 

"Mr. Sheng, can you hear us?" A foreign psychiatrist spoke in a low voice. But Sheng Ruming continued to stare at the ceiling and kept mum as if he had lost his voice. 

"Is it a failure?! We have to take him to the ER!" Another doctor said, ready to take action.

The people were worried that something had happened to him to act like he's in a coma and were going to take him to the operation room when Sheng Ruming finally blinked. He slowly moved his head and looked at them. 

Xiao Huang felt something had changed in the man. The way Sheng Ruming looked at him wasn't normal. It was of someone who had seen his friend after a long time.

"... Huang?" Sheng Ruming moved his lips and replied hoarsely. A look and he knew what Sheng Ruming wanted. 

He turned to the other people and said respectfully, "Please leave for now."

"Mr. Xiao, we can't. We need to know Mr. Sheng's condition first." A psychiatrist murmured as he stared at Sheng Ruming with expectant looks. 

Before Xiao Huang could interject him again, he asked Sheng Ruming, "Mr. Sheng, is it yes or not?" 

Even though Sheng Ruming knew what he wanted to know, he did not reply right away and the other people were reluctant to leave as well. 

They wanted to make sure of something before leaving. At last, Sheng Ruming showed a rare smile that Xiao Huang had never seen before. He was surprised while the other three were relieved. 

"Congratulations Mr. Sheng. Can you say how you feel now?" The doctor asked. 

"Good enough to leave right away." Sheng Ruming replied hoarsely.

"Ah, you mean…" The doctor was taken aback. 

"Literally…" The moment Sheng Ruming said that he stood up with a loud noise and ran towards the entrance in his patient's uniform. 

"Boss, wait!" Xiao Huang shouted and ran behind Sheng Ruming. 

'Mr. Sheng, don't leave!' The three people had that exact thought as they ran out as well. 

In that spacious hospital corridor, one man was seen being chased by four people, in which three bald old men were included. But the three men soon lost Xiao Huang and Sheng Ruming as their stamina couldn't catch up to the young ones. 

'Lixi, wait for me.' Sheng Ruming thought with anxiety as his steps got quicker. It's as if he wouldn't get to see her if he delayed even for a second. 

…

A private jet came to the Long city and landed at the International airport. 

From the huge airplane, only two people came down. One was Sheng Ruming and the other was, needless to say, was Xiao Huang. Sheng Ruming wanted to shrug him away and come back but the man was persistent like a nasty glue and refused to let him go alone!

The two were dressed in casual clothes and it was difficult to match them with their real persona. 

Sheng Ruming, like a normal civil man, hailed a taxi by himself and then got into it without even looking at Xiao Huang. 

Xiao Huang was already numbed by the way he was doing things but he kept on following his boss on his trip to this city. 

Instead of going to any hotel, Sheng Ruming went straight to Luo Corporation first. 

With sunken eyes, Xiao Huang pretended as invisible and stayed quietly beside him. To his dismay, Xiao Huang had to wait beside Sheng Ruming for 7 hours straight in front of the company! 

He couldn't stay hungry like his boss so he asked him to eat something. The man didn't even budge. Intensely, his two eyes were latched on the building in front of him as if he was staring at someone through those walls.

When working hours were over, people started to leave. At that moment, Sheng Ruming's eyes finally moved from the building to the entrance. He stared at each person and when he saw it wasn't that person, he would shift his eyes away. 

After a long time, when he was nearly disappointed, the entrance finally opened but a black car drove out from it. 

Looking at the familiar number plate of the car, he switched his eyes to the windshield. In that winter night when the wind was hauling and the snow was falling heavily, many people were trying to leave the road except him. Only he was standing there and stared hard at the black car.

'What's wrong with him? If you want to see her, why don't you go and meet her directly?! I can even let you two see each other if you tell me…' 

These words were written clearly on Xiao Huang's face and the man tried to hint him several times. After all no one would like to punish themselves by standing outside in cold weather!

'I have finally found you…' Sheng Ruming's eyes got red and his nose felt sore as the urge to cry loudly invoked into him. 

"Boss, it's too cold here. You will get sick." Interrupting Sheng Ruming's thoughts, Xiao Huang said calmly. He was just reminding him even though he knew that the man wouldn't even leave the place. 

His heated eyes were locked on the car as it drove away from his sight. He stood rooted on his spot for a long time and stared ahead blankly. 

Xiao Huang couldn't unsee his dry lips and pale face and finally raised his arm to made him unconscious to take him away. But at the right moment, unexpectedly, Sheng Ruming's whole aura changed and became extremely dangerous. He caught Xiao Huang's hand in a spilt second and twisted it violently. 

Xiao Huang felt his bone would break and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. But even then the years of training didn't allow him to make any sound and he silently waited for the man to free him. 

Sheng Ruming acted on impulse before and when he noticed that it was his own man, he let go. Xiao Huang tucked away his hand and stared at the ground, waiting for Sheng Ruming's instructions with a shaken heart. 

The place which had just been grabbed were throbbing in pain but he hid it perfectly and didn't let him notice

"Huang, let's go somewhere. We have many work to do..." Sheng Ruming smirked weirdly and muttered beside his ear. Suddenly, all the pores on Xiao Huang's body stood on their edges. 

He felt an unknown danger nearing him and looked up in shock only to see his back leaving him behind.
