Chapter 2512: Baby Chu (1)
“No memory at all?” She probed cautiously. “Is it a case of amnesia?”
“Eh. The back of my skull was bleeding and seemed to hold traces of having been hit by a hard object. The doctor said that I have no memory of my past probably because of the impact on my head,” shared Chu He.
“Hit in the head?!” Meng Qingxue was somewhat surprised to learn that. “Do you mean to say that you have absolutely no recollection of your past?”
“Well, I don’t even remember who I am! Be it my name, my past, my birth history, my family background—I don’t have the slightest impression.” After a brief pause, the policewoman continued speaking. “The doctor said that this is a transient memory loss, and there should be a certain chance of recovering it in the future, but till now, after five years, I still don’t remember a bit of my past.”
She listened with astonishment and disbelief.
“When I first regained my consciousness, there was only emptiness in my head. I tried hard to recall my past but to no avail. The doctor said that it’s probably due to me being in an unfamiliar city. If I could find the place where I used to live, I might have a chance to regain my memory,” shared the other, “but the most troublesome thing is that I couldn’t even remember where I was from.”
“You must’ve felt very helpless, right?” She was silent for a moment after popping the question and then added, “If I were to forget everything and arrive in a very unfamiliar place, I would definitely feel very lost.”
“That’s true, but we have to try our best to survive no matter what.”
Chu He then continued her story. She left the hospital after her body had recovered. As she did not know where to return, she had to settle down in a village here. She did not have any identification on her, so the village chief went out of his way to check on the missing persons’ records with the relevant unit. He could not find anything in the end and felt sorry for her. Eventually, he let her stay at his place. Eight months later, she gave birth to a healthy boy.
The village chief immediately went to register the child’s DNA online through his network, hoping that it might lead to a clue regarding her identity.
Before she joined the police force, she helped the village chief’s family run errands. By chance, she discovered her hidden flair for martial arts.
Once, she rode her bike to the county town at night to help the village head’s family purchase some daily necessities.
At that time, the county’s entertainment industry had just emerged, and there were a number of sauna stores, karaoke, and small bars lining the streets leading to the town center. As she was returning home, she happened to meet a group of hooligans harassing a lone woman. They seemed to be drunk and were getting handsy with the lady. She could not overlook their misbehaviour and decided to step in.
Unexpectedly, one of them, who seemed to be the leader of the gang, took out a dagger and started brandishing it, seemingly taunting her.
Just as the sharp tip was about to hit her, she leaped in the air almost instinctively, did a cool roundhouse kick, and swept the man to the ground. The hoodlum immediately fainted.
The rest of the gang, about three to five burly men, rushed to corner her, but in just a few minutes, they were knocked to the ground easily by her; none of them was her match.
The police officers, who arrived at the scene shortly after, were surprised to learn that the group was subdued by her alone and were truly amazed.
