"Since you are thanking me, you should return this fish to where it belongs; you have no right to make decisions for it," Song Pearl's tone was unequivocal.
"Do you really think you will turn into a fish?" Wan looked at Song Pearl, his eyes deep and inscrutable.
"Of course I will; the spirit promised me!" Song Pearl's eyes were filled with confidence; the spirit had become her support.
"The spirit? That snake wrapped around your finger?" Wan chuckled. "If you were observant enough, you would realize it's just a high-tech Electronic Pet."
"A pet? Impossible!" The muscles in Song Pearl's face twitched as she tried hard to conceal her panic and confusion. Although her lips trembled slightly, she remained stubborn. "The spirit is not a pet; it has always existed since I met it. It becoming a snake is just a recent development!"
"You fell into the Fish Pond and were unconscious for quite a while, right?" Wan asked.
"So what?" Song Pearl raised her head defiantly.
"Because you fell into the Fish Pond, your mind started having issues. Not only do you often experience hallucinations, but it also affects your memory. Your family couldn't afford treatment, so after you woke up, you went home... of course, you don't know the truth."
Wan spoke calmly, while Song Pearl remained silent.
"Because of your illness, your already timid nature became even less intelligent, and you had no friends. In your fantasies, the spirit appeared and became your confidant..." Wan chose his words carefully, trying to consider Song Pearl's feelings.
"Due to fear and insecurity, when you encounter problems that you don't know how to solve, another hallucination appears, hoping for some mysterious power to help you..."
Although Wan was being gentle in his approach, each sentence was still pressing.
"In fact, everything is your fantasy; you imagine yourself as a powerful fairy with extraordinary magical abilities. You fantasize about being able to control others' actions. Whenever you're helpless and powerless, you always create a comforting reason for yourself..."
"However, it cannot be denied that due to an accident, you did develop an extraordinary power that ordinary people cannot explain. When you see blood, you lose control of your emotions and possess immense strength... this is actually a form of mental illness..."
"Stop it! I am not sick, nor am I schizophrenic!" Song Pearl's eyes brimmed with tears; her pale face was devoid of color. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard not to let the tears fall. "Who do you think you are? Am I that famous? Famous enough for a stranger like you to investigate me privately!"
Wan raised his hand to brush aside the stray hair covering Song Pearl's face. "Of course, I won't investigate you. Compared to you, I'm more interested in my own Pearl Fish..." The corners of his mouth twitched into a faint smile. "I've traveled far and wide, hoping to find Sister Fish's traces. When I arrived in this desolate place, I was unaccustomed to the environment and nearly died. Fortunately, I met someone who saved me—he is your current chairman, Wu Qiang."
"Having received life-saving help, I wanted to repay him but could only agree to help him with one thing. Wu Qiang is indeed a businessman; I didn't expect the deadline for this task to be so long. He asked me to secretly protect his biological daughter... So, I had no choice but to frequently clean up after this girl with mental disabilities and occasionally boost her confidence..."
"Do you understand what I'm saying? You are Wu Qiang's daughter. You are not a fish and can never become one. You have grown up; you can only be human!"
Wan's voice was gentle, but each word pierced Song Pearl's heart. He presented her with a harsh reality, telling her that her life had always been a dream—no, not a dream, but an illness; she had always been an ill person!
How could this be! How could it be like this! Why should she suffer such pain and accept this illogical reality!
The scenery before Song Pearl gradually blurred as her body uncontrollably fell forward. In the last moments of consciousness, she hoped someone would catch her, but no one did. She heard herself fall onto the sand. It sounded beautiful. She was not a fish; who would believe that?
But Wan's annoying voice still echoed in her ears. "Ever since you fell into the water, you have developed sequelae. Your illness has never healed because of the brain condition, which has caused your timid self to develop various unrealistic fantasies..."
Go away, go away! Song Pearl didn't know if she was saying those four words; she only felt that the world around her was engulfed in darkness.
Wan carried the unconscious Song Pearl back to the car and stood outside while taking out his phone to dial a number. Wu Qiang's voice came through on the other end: "Can this method really cure her illness?"
"It should be fine. Once she wakes up, she will become a normal girl. Maybe you two will finally recognize each other. But I don't understand why you took Song Zhenbao away back then? When you took Song Zhenbao away, you missed the best treatment time for Pearl. Because of her condition, you've let her suffer for so many years; do you think it was worth it?"
On the other end of the line, Wu Qiang forced a bitter smile. Could he tell Zhang Yunye that when he returned from rebirth, Song Zhenbao had already been taken back by the original Wu Qiang? Moreover, this clever and smooth girl had everyone wrapped around her finger; under such circumstances, he could only go along with it.
He couldn't let his daughter repeat the mistakes of her past life. This time around, he would not raise her like a doll ignorant of the world; he needed her to learn self-reliance and recognize the malice in people's hearts to learn self-protection.
When he returned from rebirth, he knew that Pearl had nearly been harmed by Song Zhenbao—she had no external injuries but had suffered brain damage. How could such a Pearl protect herself? It would be better for her to live happily in the countryside.
By chance, he met the mysterious expert Zhang Yunye. When he first saw him, Wu Qiang did not realize how mysterious Zhang Yunye was because at that time, Zhang Yunye was nothing more than skin and bones, barely alive and curled up in a corner like a beggar.
Wu Qiang's moment of kindness saved this person who was on the verge of death. Through observation, he discovered that this young man was not only honest and kind but also possessed many exceptional qualities. This fool insisted on repaying his kindness before leaving, so Wu Qiang took the opportunity to make him his daughter's secret bodyguard, ensuring she would not come to harm.
For over a decade, Zhang Yunye had no complaints and quietly protected Song Pearl, always passing on messages and searching for renowned doctors and remedies to treat Song Pearl's ailments, proving to be even more competent than her biological father.
Recently, Zhang Yunye informed him that he had finally found a reliable method to cure Song Pearl's illness, but it required a catalyst—Song Zhenbao needed to return.
Wu Qiang was somewhat worried about Song Zhenbao's return; he feared that Pearl might not be able to protect herself from harm.
Zhang Yunye countered, "Do you want your daughter to live in confusion for the rest of her life? No one can protect her forever, and she cannot live in illusion indefinitely. What is the meaning of such a life?"
Wu Qiang steeled himself and agreed to proceed with Zhang Yunye's plan. After years of interaction, he trusted the young man's words completely.
Now, everything was going smoothly with the plan, and he received a call from Zhang Yunye.
Wu Qiang's mind raced, but instead of answering Zhang Yunye's question, he asked, "Are you really going to release that fish back into the sea?"
