Chapter 053 Control
"Thank you, Brother Shen Yi! You're so kind to me!"
Su Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Her tear stains were still wet, but a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"Qianqian will definitely be a good girl and listen to you from now on, and will do whatever you say."
She finally loosened her clenched hands, her face completely relaxed, as if she was certain that Shen Yi would protect her.
Shen Yi stood there, looking at Su Qian's dependent appearance in the cage, and felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.
He could clearly feel two opposing forces pulling within his body: one of rational disgust and vigilance.
Another group, however, is drawn by some inexplicable force, uttering words against their conscience.
My body doesn't feel like my own.
It felt like someone was controlling my body.
Shen Yi staggered back a few steps, his gaze falling on Su Qian, his eyes filled with intense inner turmoil.
His consciousness was struggling frantically, like a wild beast trapped in a cage, desperately trying to regain control of his body.
But his limbs and bones seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, unable to move at all.
He could only watch helplessly as his hand reached into his pocket, pulled out the cold key, and walked step by step toward the iron cage.
With a "click," the lock cylinder turned, and the cage door was pulled open.
Su Qian immediately stepped out of the cage.
While wiping away her tears with her sleeve, she looked up at him, her eyes filled with a deliberately feigned obedience:
"Brother Shen Yi, thank you... Qianqian will definitely listen to you from now on."
The voice just fell.
She opened her arms and threw herself into Shen Yi's arms without hesitation, pressing her cheek tightly against his chest as if drawing a sense of security from him.
Shen Yi's body moved uncontrollably, raising his arms to hug her tightly, a gentle sound even escaping his throat:
"Qianqian, you must be a good girl and listen to me, stay by my side, okay?"
"Um!"
Su Qian nodded vigorously in his arms, a hint of smugness playing on her lips.
Meanwhile, Shen Yi's consciousness was screaming wildly in his chest:
No! That's not how it works!
He had no intention of letting her out, much less keeping her by his side!
But it was all in vain.
He was like a puppet being manipulated, only able to watch himself do things against his will.
Feeling the warm body in my arms, all that remained in my heart was endless chill and helplessness.
He still clutched the key he had just used in his hand; its icy touch sent shivers down his spine.
But it is far less intense than the pain of having one's consciousness imprisoned.
He was very confused. Why was this happening?
……
The assistant was even more puzzled than Shen Yi.
Lin Wei stood to the side, maintaining the composure expected of an assistant, but his mind was in turmoil.
Just a few days ago, her own boss gritted his teeth and captured Su Qian, locking her in an iron cage and starving her for a whole day.
The way they looked at him was as if they wanted to grind him to dust.
How could you change your mind so quickly?
Not only were the people released, but they were also instructed to be provided with the best accommodations, and that the food and supplies be of the highest quality.
This means... complete forgiveness?
Lin Wei clicked his tongue in surprise. If it weren't for his position as an assistant, he would have really wanted to rush up and give Shen Yi a good beating.
I was staring at Su Qiu's photo in a daze a while ago.
It hasn't been long, and he's already turned around and become close to this "green tea" girl who looks like she's full of scheming.
It's really baffling.
Could the boss have been possessed?
He had just received the instructions and was about to turn around to make arrangements when Shen Yi changed his mind again, his tone as cold as ice:
"No need for all that. Just give her some food so she doesn't starve. Keep her under constant surveillance and don't let her step out of the room."
Lin Wei: "..."
He stood there, momentarily stunned.
The contrast is too great. Which version does the boss actually want?
At this time.
Shen Yi's eyes suddenly cleared, filled with suppressed anger.
Having regained control of his body, he snapped, "Are you deaf? Do as I say!"
"yes!"
Lin Wei dared not think any further, quickly agreed, and turned to leave.
I mentally complained about this inexplicable situation a thousand times over.
Shen Yi was finally left alone in the room.
He slumped back into his chair, his chest heaving violently, anger churning within him like lava.
"What the hell is going on?!" He slammed his fist on the table, growling, "Why can't I control my body?!"
He desperately tried to recall what had just happened; those uncontrollable words and actions haunted him like a nightmare.
Is it because of too much pressure?
Or is there a problem with his/her health?
I thought and thought, but I still couldn't find the answer.
The more I can't figure it out, the more frustrated I become.
Shen Yi suddenly raised his hand and swept the documents and water glass on the table onto the floor.
The cup shattered against the corner of the wall with a piercing sound.
Nothing could dispel the turmoil and helplessness in his heart.
He covered his forehead, his knuckles turning white from the force.
This feeling of being manipulated was like an invisible net, making it hard for him to breathe.
What exactly is the reason?
……
The next few days.
Shen Yi barely slept, his mind preoccupied with the bizarre situation of his body going out of control.
He experimented repeatedly, like conducting an experiment, and finally figured out a pattern.
As long as he doesn't have physical contact with Su Qian, doesn't do anything to hurt her, and doesn't say anything to belittle her, he can firmly maintain control of his body.
Having figured this out, Shen Yi understood the situation.
When Su Qian calls out "Brother Shen Yi" through the door again, or makes various requests,
He always responded gently on the surface, his tone carrying just the right amount of reassurance.
But they can turn around and forget those words, and won't do them at all.
Su Qian has now become a hot potato; she can't be killed, nor can she be released, so she can only remain imprisoned.
They sent someone to deliver food every day to ensure she didn't starve, but they also forbade her from stepping out of her room.
Shen Yi was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it, so he decided to take it out on the Su and Lu families.
After all, the root of all this is inextricably linked to these two companies.
But as soon as he instructed Lin Wei to investigate the financial loopholes in the Su family, his fingers suddenly froze.
It felt like something was stuck in my throat, and I couldn't even utter a complete command.
Control of the body has slipped away again, silently.
He tried several times, whether it was to interfere with the Su family's projects or to sabotage the Lu family.
The moment the thought touches the word "harm," the body immediately goes out of control, as if it has been paused and cannot move.
"Damn it!"
Shen Yi suddenly kicked over the coffee table next to him.
The glass shattered, and shards splashed around his feet, but he was completely unaware.
What is this?
Even retaliation is being restricted?
He was like a caged beast with its hands and feet tied, even though his enemy was right in front of him.
But even the strength to throw a punch is locked by invisible shackles.
Its only purpose is to provide benefits!
Anger grew wildly in his heart like weeds, burning away his reason.
Shen Yi clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his eyes were filled with intense resentment and unwillingness.
He had never felt so stifled; the feeling of being manipulated and restricted was almost driving him crazy.
Why is that?
