Qin Yiheng’s words brought Xia Yinian’s consciousness back.

She looked at him, blinking her eyes.

Glancing at Gu Beicheng from the corner of her eye, Xia Yinian bit her lip and said softly, "Sorry to trouble you, Yiheng."

"Here’s the thing, I have a friend’s grandma, she’s already seventy years old this year, ahem..."

Stealing another glance at Gu Beicheng, Xia Yinian continued, "Of course, I mean my friend over in Yaoshan."

Regardless of whether Uncle came because of Grandma, she had to get the answers she needed first.

"His grandma’s health is average, but she’s always been sharp-minded, with a particularly good memory..."

Xia Yinian frowned, unsure how to continue, as she really didn’t know under what circumstances Grandma ended up like this.

"One day, she got lost..." After thinking for a while, she continued.

"When she came back, she suddenly disliked my friend, even though she used to really like him."

"Not to mention seeing him, the old lady became especially hysterical when she even heard my friend’s name, repeatedly saying he’s not a good person or something."

"Yiheng, do you think my friend’s grandma might have been hypnotized?"

While Xia Yinian was speaking, Gu Beicheng was listening attentively.

When he heard the word "hypnosis," his eyes tightened instantly.

Sensing another gaze, Qin Yiheng quickly glanced at Gu Beicheng.

He frowned, as if he had thought of something.

Having been friends for so many years, Qin Yiheng knew that Seventh Young Master wasn’t the type to gossip about others, so could this matter that Nian Nian mentioned be related to him?

Xia Yinian kept looking at Qin Yiheng, of course, she also noticed his change in gaze.

Seeing no words from the other man, Qin Yiheng turned back to meet Xia Yinian’s eyes.

"How much do you know about hypnosis?" He looked at her, with no hint of mockery or belittlement.

"To be precise, it’s zero." Xia Yinian responded softly.

Hearing her words, Beicheng’s slight reaction was normal, after all, she was talking about Grandma’s situation.

If he had no reaction at all, Xia Yinian might suspect that this man already knew her true identity.

"Ever since my friend told me about this, I’ve been searching for a lot of information on the internet to really understand it for the first time."

"But, you can’t completely trust what’s on the internet, so it’s just a conjecture of mine, I hope it doesn’t affect your judgment, Yiheng."

"So, what do you want me to do to help you today?" Qin Yiheng nodded, speaking softly.

"I... ahem..." Xia Yinian began to feel a bit uneasy again.

"I hope you can go see the old lady and first determine whether she’s really in such a condition."

"Oh, by the way, Yiheng, I want to know if it’s true what the internet says that long-term hypnosis is very harmful to a person’s body?"

"If one cannot wake up a person’s mind in time, then the hypnotized event ultimately becomes the body’s true perception."

"In other words, this dream may never be undone, is that really the case?" Xia Yinian stared unblinkingly at Qin Yiheng.

"It is a possibility." Qin Yiheng nodded.

"And the internet says, if a person is under hypnosis for a long time, their mental state will age faster, and eventually..." Xia Yinian couldn’t continue.

Because it was about Grandma, she was unwilling a thousand times to see such an outcome.

"Schizophrenia, dementia, and in severe cases, it can lead to death." Qin Yiheng added.
