She was both a victim and a witness.
If this was the case, wouldn't a girl who lost her memory be unable to speak about the harm she suffered or identify who harmed her?
While forgetting the harm suffered could, to some extent, be considered a good thing, it would indeed bring some difficulties to the police investigation.
After considering the situation, Ye Tiancheng contacted the police and explained the girl's condition.
The police had initially planned to have the girl testify once she woke up, which would have saved a lot of trouble and allowed them to directly issue a notice to apprehend her boyfriend and her best friend.
However, now she had lost her memory.
Although they could still arrest the individuals directly, it would undoubtedly lead to more trouble later.
However, they didn't say anything about it, only worrying that the progress of the case might be affected.
But later, a very troublesome problem did arise.
Because the girl had lost her memory, even after waking up, she had no ability to care for herself and needed someone to look after her.
She had no relatives or friends, and this burden suddenly fell on no one.
If Ye Tiancheng was unwilling to continue caring for the girl, she could at most be sent to a rescue station.
However, much of the subsequent treatment would likely be insufficient.
Furthermore, it was possibly because the girl felt comforted by Ye Tiancheng when he spoke to her, and also because the first person she saw when she woke up with amnesia was Ye Tiancheng, she felt a strange dependence and trust towards him.
In the end, Ye Tiancheng thought about it and felt it was truly wrong to just abandon the girl.
The girl's experience was already tragic enough; if she were to be neglected further, who knew what would become of her later.
After much deliberation, Ye Tiancheng finally took on the responsibility.
After all, no matter what, Ye Tiancheng couldn't bear to ignore the girl.
Therefore, during this period, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were forced to stay in Jinshi to take care of the girl. While the girl underwent surgery, the police continued to track down her boyfriend and her best friend.
However, those two, perhaps knowing how serious their actions were, were so afraid of being caught that they disappeared without a trace for a while. Their whereabouts and clues, when tracked by surveillance, led to a relatively backward small town, and then their tracks vanished completely.
The police were monitoring everything, including the identities, travel information, bank accounts, and social media accounts of these two. As soon as they had the slightest bit of information, they would immediately apprehend them.
Unfortunately, these two were too well-hidden. Ye Tiancheng and his companions were delayed for over two months without them being apprehended, and they had no idea where they had gone.
The police suspected that the two were too afraid and had hidden in some remote mountains or forests, where it would be very difficult to investigate.
However, these two would also live a very difficult life.
Ye Tiancheng felt that even if they lived a hard life, they deserved it.
If they hadn't harmed others, if they hadn't harbored evil intentions, they wouldn't have ended up in such a situation. They were purely deserving of it.
However, Ye Tiancheng's itinerary could no longer be delayed like this.
During these past two months, Long Miaomiao had also been missing.
In his helplessness, Ye Tiancheng had almost stopped thinking about this person. Considering Long Miaomiao's attitude, it was highly likely that she intended to part ways with them. Otherwise, why would she have been missing for so long without a word or a letter?
Ye Tiancheng decided not to bother with Long Miaomiao anymore.
If she appeared, she appeared; if not, so be it. They didn't absolutely need her.
Fortunately, Long Miaomiao no longer had any fragments of the Fuxi Qin, so there was no need to worry about her too much. The actions Long Miaomiao could take were now steadily under control and did not require Ye Tiancheng and his companions to worry.
Since Ye Tiancheng and his companions could not delay, nor could they abandon the girl they couldn't rescue, they finally decided to take the girl with them and transfer her to a hospital in Ancheng, which would also make it convenient for Ye Tiancheng and his companions to continue tracking the whereabouts of the Fuxi Qin fragments.
These past two months, even in Jinshi, had not been very peaceful. However, this area was in the north, very close to the capital, so the special action teams here were quite formidable.
To avoid threatening the safety of the capital, overall, although there were occasional minor disturbances, they were easily controlled. Moreover, Ye Tiancheng could also assist the local special action team branch in handling some matters they couldn't resolve.
When Ye Tiancheng decided to transfer the girl to Ancheng, the special action team branch in Jinzhou was quite reluctant to see Ye Tiancheng and his companions leave.
After all, Ye Tiancheng was so powerful. With Ye Tiancheng and the little fox present, they had saved them so much trouble and reduced so many casualties.
Everyone had witnessed this.
However, Ye Tiancheng indeed had his own matters to attend to, which were far more important than temporarily maintaining stability in a certain area. Therefore, no one could persuade Ye Tiancheng to stay, nor did anyone dare to.
Ye Tiancheng then bid farewell to these people and headed to Ancheng with the girl.
Speaking of which, the girl did have a name. Her name was Pei Xue.
Her name was quite pleasant and perfectly suited Pei Xue's personal image. She was a very gentle, yet slightly aloof and quiet girl.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, along with Pei Xue, arranged for her to be admitted into a hospital in Ancheng. They booked a single room for Pei Xue and asked the doctors at Ancheng Hospital to continue her treatment.
Then, they hired a caregiver for Pei Xue.
Originally, Ye Tiancheng was worried about not having enough help and wanted to hire more people to take care of Pei Xue.
However, for some reason, Pei Xue seemed a little afraid of people and didn't want too many people surrounding her. Even every time doctors and nurses came to examine her, Pei Xue was terrified.
Considering Pei Xue's current physical condition,
Her injuries were actually gradually recovering, and her limbs had not suffered any damage that would affect her mobility. Pei Xue could now get out of bed and walk.
Considering this, Pei Xue also had a certain degree of self-care ability.
Therefore, having a caregiver could manage her needs.
Moreover, Pei Xue was not unconscious now; she had woken up and had self-awareness. Therefore, Ye Tiancheng didn't have to worry about Pei Xue being bullied by the caregiver if he and the little fox were not present.
Most importantly, if the caregiver dared to bully Pei Xue, Pei Xue only needed to call Ye Tiancheng and his companions, and they would naturally appear to support her.
Even if the unmotivated caregiver was dismissed and a better one was found for Pei Xue, it was not impossible.
After settling Pei Xue down, Ye Tiancheng and his companions went to attend to their main business.
Because of Pei Xue's matter, Ye Tiancheng and his companions had already been delayed for long enough. Finally being able to attend to their main business, the little fox felt that its long-idle bones could finally relax.
However, on the way to investigate and search for clues, the little fox and Ye Tiancheng chatted, and the topic of Pei Xue came up again.
The little fox's expression showed some doubt. He said to Ye Tiancheng, "Actually, I've always felt something was a little off."
"It's just that Pei Xue's boyfriend and her best friend ran away too quickly. And the way they fled, even to hide and evade pursuit, they didn't dare to use their ID cards or bank accounts. They might have even hidden in some remote, impoverished area, or perhaps some deep mountains and old forests."
"I think this is really too strange. It doesn't sound like they just harmed someone; it sounds more like they committed murder and then fled when the fact of their killing was exposed."
Ye Tiancheng nodded when he heard the little fox say this.
However, Ye Tiancheng still said, "Judging by the way they acted, it does feel like that. But perhaps they are just too timid, so they are afraid?"
"When doing bad things, they dared to do anything. But when the deed is exposed and they realize they have to pay the price, they become cowardly and refuse to face it. This is also possible."
"Besides, Pei Xue is alive and well, isn't she? We even sent her to the hospital for treatment."
"She can't be a non-human, can she?"
Ye Tiancheng paused slightly before continuing, "Moreover, even if she were no longer human, you wouldn't be unable to tell, would you? Can you not recognize if she is a person or a ghost?"
"You know your own eyes. Even if I can't tell, you should be able to. Don't scare yourself by always thinking the worst."
The little fox thought about it and felt that it made sense.
After all, Pei Xue was still alive and could appear before them. She had been sent to the hospital for treatment, and during examinations, no one had found that Pei Xue was not a living person but a dead one.
Moreover, Pei Xue's scars and other injuries could heal.
If she were a dead person, that would not be possible.
The existence of living dead, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had encountered before.
They had seen them on the snowy mountains.
If Pei Xue were a living dead person, she would have been exposed long ago in these past two months.
Furthermore, the wounds of the living dead could not heal. They had confirmed this before, and there was basically no doubt about it, so Pei Xue could not be a living dead person.
Ye Tiancheng felt that the little fox was overthinking, and it was reasonable.
In this world, there weren't so many difficult existences.
If even the little fox couldn't tell, it would mean that Pei Xue was a very powerful non-human.
But Pei Xue's identity information and her life experiences could be clearly investigated.
If she were truly a very powerful non-human, she wouldn't have evolved so much in such a short time, so she must have been like that for a long time.
However, if Pei Xue had been a powerful non-human for a long time, she wouldn't have been harmed so badly, nor would she have been so humble as to try to please a scumbag human.
So, from any angle, it didn't quite add up.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox didn't need to think so much.
There might indeed be doubts, but perhaps they were caused by misunderstandings or other reasons. It was better for them not to scare themselves.
