"Why did you choose Gu Jingyi?" Zhao Chen felt a bit unaccustomed to her silence and found another topic.
"Who do you think I should have chosen?"
"Gu Jingnian! You've known him longer, and your relationship isn't a bit better?"
"It's my parents' order, asking me is useless!"
"That excuse is just to fool them! So you like Gu Jingyi, otherwise why would you agree to this?"
Ji Xingmi glanced at the person driving and said, "If you want to know so badly, what about you?"
"Me? What about me? I don't like anyone! You don't think I like Zou Wenwan, do you?"
"No, I want to know, are you Zhao Chen or Zhao Sheng?"
"Screech~ hiss~" Ji Xingmi instinctively lurched forward, hitting the glove box in front of her, because Zhao Chen had slammed on the brakes right after her question. The car stopped on the country road!
Zhao Chen's expression turned a little strange, but he slowly started the car again before asking, "When did you know?"
"I wasn't sure at first, but now I know!" Ji Xingmi rubbed her forehead, which she had just bumped. It would probably be bruised! Then she fastened her seatbelt, a miscalculation.
"Heh~ How did you find out?" Zhao Chen had now reverted to his usual demeanor.
"If I say it was my intuition, would you believe me?" Ji Xingmi hadn't noticed at first, but during their conversation, she had a vague sense of familiarity. Even if he knew her, he knew too much, right? And she wasn't that close to Zhao Chen.
"I thought you recognized me! I can barely recognize myself, how could you possibly recognize me!?" After speaking, Zhao Chen even reached out and touched his face.
Ji Xingmi naturally saw his action and asked, "Your face? What happened?"
"You're such a good doctor? Guess?"
"I can't guess!" Ji Xingmi shook her head. She really didn't know. This face didn't look like makeup. Could it be real disguise?"
"It's good that you don't know!" Zhao Chen, no, it should be Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng didn't tell Ji Xingmi about this matter, as it was something he didn't want to recall.
"Then where did the real Zhao Chen go?"
"There was never a Zhao Chen, only Zhao Sheng from beginning to end. Didn't expect that! Thinking about the age difference between us, right? No wonder you didn't know. Zhao Chen appeared when I was six. He was smarter, more capable, and more favored by the family. When they discovered I was like this, the first thing they did wasn't to find a doctor. Even Grandpa said that to avoid shame for the family, they directly fabricated a Zhao Chen."
Hearing this, Ji Xingmi looked over. He was just driving, with no particular expression, as if he wasn't talking about himself. So, there were never two people, but schizophrenia? To satisfy the expectations of his parents and family, he split off a personality that better fit their inner expectations during his growth? But would personality splits also change a person's appearance?
"But Zhao Chen has always been in the capital?"
"That's what everyone says. Have you ever seen him? Zhao Chen's health is not good, and he doesn't appear in public much. Everyone knows that the Zhao family's Zhao Chen is the smartest, and Zhao Sheng is the most useless. It's a pity that Zhao Chen's health is not good. If only they could switch, no one would ever think they were the same person."
Does a person with schizophrenia know they are splitting? Is that reasonable? At this moment, Ji Xingmi wanted to go into her space and flip through some books to see if there were any explanations.
Ji Xingmi still voiced the question: "So, are you Zhao Chen or Zhao Sheng now?"
Zhao Chen suddenly stopped by a lake: "Who do you think I am? Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. Get out of the car."
Ji Xingmi didn't answer his question. Hearing him say to get out, she did. Then she looked around, unable to determine where she was. She had definitely never been here before.
"The scenery is quite nice, isn't it!" Hearing him say this, Ji Xingmi thought he was going to make a move and became instantly nervous. She was ready to draw her gun at any moment.
"I am Zhao Rui, but that's not important now. I'll take you to meet a new friend!" Zhao Rui stood beside Ji Xingmi, looking at the surrounding scenery with her, and then uttered a sentence that surprised Ji Xingmi. Is this a third personality? Can it switch freely? Ji Xingmi was certain that this person was not the same as the one in the car!
"Zhao Rui?" Ji Xingmi was still thinking about this new personality, but he had already pulled her to the back of the car and opened the trunk. Ji Xingmi saw the person lying inside the trunk.
"Feng Changze?" As the trunk was opened, Feng Changze was seen lying inside, struggling, with something tied over his mouth, preventing him from speaking. He was desperately struggling. Just as Ji Xingmi wanted to step forward to help untie him, Zhao Rui hit her from behind, and she fainted. Fortunately, Zhao Rui was considerate enough not to let her fall directly to the ground.
"I can let you go now, but you'd better do as I say, or don't blame me for being ruthless. I believe you wouldn't want her to get hurt, would you?" Zhao Rui said, drawing the gun lightly over Ji Xingmi's body.
