Chapter 170 - The Secrets Hidden in Memory (1) (1/2)

The lab was ablaze with light.

The instrument had been activated. Lying on the bed in a coma, Lu Jia’er was delivered into the space capsule slowly.

“Check all the vitals!” Chen Ming instructed.

Yuan Miaomiao loaded the program. In a moment, the VR image of Lu Jia’er’s body showed up, followed but many sets of data. Yuan Miaomiao checked them and reported to Chen Ming. “All vitals are normal.”

Professor Chen Ming read the data as well. Upon confirming that everything was right, he was about to push the activate key on the optical wave instrument. At that exact moment, Yuan Miaomiao stopped him. “Professor, wait!”

Professor Chen Ming left his hand in the air and turned over to her.

“Professor, here!” Yuan Miaomiao said and pointed to Lu Jia’er’s brain in the virtual image.

Hearing this, Chen Ming looked to where she pointed. Yuan Miaomiao said, “There seems to be a foreign object in here!”

“A foreign object?” Chen Ming squinted his eyes.

“You may not tell from the image, but the scan data indicates that there is a foreign object.” Yuan Miaomiao pointed to the data set.

Chen Ming read the data from the scan. Indeed, there was a foreign object. He put on a stern look. “Has she received surgery before?”

“I don’t know!” Yuan Miaomiao shook her head.

Chen Ming walked to the door. He pushed the button. Jason thought it was over and hurried over, “So soon?”

Chen Ming shook his head and asked, “Has she received any surgery on her brain?”

Jason had heard information from Jin Xiangdong. Jason was just wondering if Professor Chen Ming knew about the truth. But his question indicated that he did not. Jason could not help but wonder about something else: how did Jin Xiangdong persuade Professor Chen Ming?

Seeing that Jason did not answer, Professor Chen Ming pressed him. “Reasons for that surgery?”

“What is up?” Jason asked while knowing the answer.

“The data from the scan shows a foreign object in her brain.” Professor Chen Ming said.

“It must be a crush injury.” Jason found an excuse.

“It is not a crush injury!” Professor Chen Ming made it clear.

Jason felt a bit guilty. “What is that?”

Professor Chen Ming frowned. “I should not have said yes to this experiment!”

Jason hurried to say. “Professor Chen, this is a pressing matter. Don’t mind the foreign object. Just get started! I will take responsibility for anything that goes wrong!”

However, Professor Chen Ming said, “Neither of us can take the responsibility if something does go wrong.”

Jason was filled with worry and anxiety. Of course, he knew that he could not shoulder the responsibility. However, Jin Xiangdong had already made his position clear. Later, when Lu Jia’er woke up, the team that created her could trace her back to this place soon. By then, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Jason begged him. “Professor Chen, there is no greater merit than to save someone’s life!”

When Jason was begging, Yuan Miaomiao happened to come over. Jason pulled her over and said in a hurry, “Miaomiao, Professor Lu is too important to us. Just consider this a favor to Ace and me!”

Before Yuan Miaomiao could say anything, Professor Chen Ming had asked, “Professor Lu? Which university is she from?”

“Department of Chinese Language and Literature in G University!” Jason made up a lie.

Yuan Miaomiao was surprised. What was Jason doing? Why would he lie to Professor Chen Ming?

Right at that moment, Yuan Miaomiao heard her phone ringing.

It was Jin Xiangdong again.

Yuan Miaomiao picked it up at once. “Brother Xiangdong.”

“Have you started yet?” Jin Xiangdong sounded impatient.

“Not yet. The scan shows that there is a foreign object in Professor Lu’s brain. Professor Chen is trying to get a clear understanding of the situation!” Yuan Miaomiao replied.

“Miaomiao, give your cell phone to Professor Chen Ming!” Jin Xiangdong told her.

Yuan Miaomiao had to do so. “Professor, he is asking for you.”

Chen Ming took over her cell phone. Not long afterwards, he hung up the phone but the look on his face was awful. Then, Chen Ming turned to Yuan Miaomiao and gave her an instruction, “Miaomiao, stay here. I will finish the experiment on my own!”

Yuan Miaomiao was startled. “Professor!”

Professor Chen Ming said nothing more. He went to the lab and closed the door. Yuan Miaomiao followed him. When she was about to enter, Professor Chen Ming had turned on the locking mechanism of the door.

Yuan Miaomiao frowned. She saw through the window that Professor Chen had stepped to the operation console.

Yuan Miaomiao turned around to Jason. “Jason, what kind of hidden secret does this Professor Lu carry?”

Jason was aware that Yuan Miaomiao was clever. That being said, he could tell her nothing. He patted her shoulders. “Miaomiao, it is better to be ignorant in certain matters. Also, I do hope that your study is helpful to memory recovery.”

Yuan Miaomiao looked at Jason. Now, she believed more firmly of the assumption she developed.

Lu Jia’er, who was lying on the space causal bed, felt she had a long dream, one that was not so wonderful.
