‘Is she truly experiencing amnesia? Or could it be a conspiracy?’ Lu Jia’er had never been so cold and distant in the entire time Jin Xiangdong had known her.
“Mister, you might not have to watch what you eat, but you have to watch what you do. You must be mistaken, she is my girlfriend.” Standing at the side, Ian looked at Jin Xiangdong and said.
“Lu Jiaer—a twenty five-year-old psychology professor of B College and was employed by BUA Technology as an AI psychology engineer. Her roommate is Su Han and there was an AI robot—Amy which I gave her at her home. She just came back from Thailand together with me yesterday afternoon.” Jin Xiangdong’s gaze swept past Ian and fixed at Lu Jia’er.
“You checked on me?” Hearing this, Lu Jia’er blinked her eyes in shock.
“I learned this after I met you,” Jin Xiangdong said.
“The things you said are right, but this information is available on the Internet. I have no idea how you got to know my roommate—Su Han, but I have to correct you that Amy is a gift from my boyfriend, Ian and I came back from Thailand with him yesterday,” Lu Jia’er said.
“What did you just say?” Jin Xiangdong was slightly startled after hearing Lu Jia’er.
“I said, I don’t know you. Please get out. I need to rest.” Lu Jia’er chased Jin Xiangdong out the ward.
“Mister, my girlfriend said that she doesn’t know you. Can you please get out?” Ian chased him out too.
Jin Xiangdong could not believe the things he had just heard.
“Mister, maybe you’ve got the wrong person.” Seeing this, the doctor who was standing aside said.
“No way!” said Jin Xiangdong.
“Doctor, you actually allowed a stranger to enter the ward and disturb a patient?” Ian asked the doctor.
“Mister, let’s go out.” the doctor could not reject them and spoke to Jin Xiangdong.
“Give me your phone.” Jin Xiangdong did not go out and merely said.
Seeing this, Lu Jia’er unlocked her phone and gave it to Jin Xiangdong so he could get out after this.
Jin Xiangdong took over the phone, checked through the contact list and wechat history. Not only did he not find any conversation history between the two of them, even a trace of the deletion was nowhere to be found.
Jin Xiangdong called his own number with her phone. To his surprise, it actually showed a call from a stranger.
What had actually happened? Jin Xiangdong was rushing to the hospital after receiving her wechat message.
Just as Jin Xiangdong stood rooted on the spot, a big hand came into sight. Ian took away Lu Jia’er’s phone from Jin Xiangdong and deleted the number on her phone.
“Mister, you have checked, haven’t you? You may leave now.” Ian handed Jin Xiangdong the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
Jin Xiangdong looked at the man before him, simply no one knew where this man came from and had actually called himself Lu Jia’er’s boyfriend. His heart was full of puzzles.
As soon as Jin Xiangdong took over the phone, Jason and Su Han stepped into the ward.
“Ace, why are you here?” Su Han was shocked when she saw Jin Xiangdong.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Jin Xiangdong’s eyes. Perhaps, Su Han knew the story.
“Su Han, what had actually happened?” Jin Xiangdong asked anxiously.
“It was a minor car accident and I can go home now. You have always been so busy, I was truly blessed that you actually paid me a visit,” Su Han smiled as she said.
“I am here to see Jia’er.” hearing Su Han, Jin Xiangdong was dumbfounded.
“Jia’er? You know her?” Su Han looked at Lu Jia’er who was lying on the bed.
“Jia’er is my girlfriend!” Jin Xiangdong said.
“You must have mistaken. Jia’er is Ian’s girlfriend and this should be the first time you meet Jia’er.” Su Han broke into laughter.
Hearing this, Jin Xiangdong was getting more bewildered. What had actually happened? Why would Su Han said this was the first time Jin Xiangdong met Lu Jia’er?
“Jason!” Jin Xiangdong looked at Jason as he hoped to get a different answer from him.
“Ace, it is true that this is your first time meeting Professor Lu.” Jason was stunned.
Jin Xiangdong had completely lost after hearing Jason’s words.
“Professor Lu, Jin Xiangdong is BUA Technology’s founder.” Jason introduced Jin Xiangdong to Lu Jia’er.
Slightly startled, Lu Jia’er stared at Jin Xiangdong. She paused for a while as she said. “Mr Jin, I am sorry for being rude just now.”
Jin Xiangdong had totally lost and simply did not know what to do with the things before his eyes. The way Lu Jia’er treated him was so cold and distant whereas Su Han was closer to him. Jason was still his comrade as well as his colleague. All the relationship had changed in one day and was completely different from what he had experienced before.
Walking in the car park of the hospital, Jin Xiangdong had yet to regain his consciousness. Everything around him was so surreal as if a dream,
“Jason, weren’t you at my house yesterday and decoded a virus together with me?” Jin Xiangdong paused his step and talked to Jason who was holding Su Han with his hands.
“Yup, you had spent three hours killing the virus. I truly take my hat off to you.” Jason said.
“We went to Phi Phi Island for vacation in the past five days, aren’t we?” Jin Xiangdong asked.
“Yup,” Jason answered.
“Was Jia’er there?” Jin Xiangdong asked.
“Ace, you’ve got it wrong!” Jason answered.
“How could I get it wrong in just one day?” Jin Xiangdong stared at Jason.
“You must be mistaken. This is the first time you met Professor Lu and had frightened her.” Jason took a glance at Su Han as he said.
“Ace, you must have worn out. Go home and get some rest.” Jin Xiangdong stared at Jason in doubt, Jason stared back at him for a while.
Sitting in the car, Jin Xiangdong looked into the distance for a long while. When he finally regained his consciousness, he pinched hard at his own lap, he could feel the pain in his lap. Again, he pinched and the pain still lingered.
It was not a dream, but who could tell him what had happened?
Was there anything wrong with his memory or was everyone just lying?
“Master, what happened to you?” Seeing Jin Xiangdong who had lost in bewilderment, Ake asked.
Jin Xiangdong did not respond and walked straight to the study.
Ake walked after him only to see Jin Xiangdong turned on the notebook. Ake stared at him for a while. Jin Xiangdong never behaved like this before.
“Master, did you break up with your girlfriend?” Ake browsed through the facial expression in its databank and finally came out with a conclusion.
Jin Xiangdong took a glimpse at Ake. He simply did not know how to express his feelings. The whole world was subverted in less than twenty four hours.
“I was dumped,” said Jin Xiangdong.
“What does it mean?” Ake did not get his word.
“Ake, tell me who I like.” Jin Xiangdong asked in a soft voice.
“You like Professor Lu,” Ake answered.
“Ake, can you say that again?’ Hearing Ake, Jin Xiangdong’s eyes flashed and held onto Ake’s hand.
“You like Professor Lu.” Ake repeated.
“Ake, am I dreaming?” Jin Xiangdong was thrilled with Ake’s answer.
“Master, you are not dreaming.” Ake blinked its eyes.
Since Ake said so, what had actually happened in the hospital?
The thing that happened in the hospital was a great puzzle. However, Jin Xiangdong was sure that his phone was hacked right after his notebook.
The phantom hacker was so powerful. What was his real motive? Was Lu Jia’er truly the person he should not mess with?
At this time, the doorbell rang. Jason stepped into the house after Ake opened the door.
“I have something very serious to tell you!” that was the first thing Jason said.
“You were lying in the hospital, weren’t you?” Jin Xiangdong asked Jason hurriedly.
“Yes. I got a phantom email this afternoon,” Jason said.
“Phantom email? What is it about?” Jin Xiangdong knitted his brows as he asked.
After listening to Jason about the email, Jin Xiangdong, who had always been calm and composed, flew into a great panic.
“Based on the current situation, it seems so easy for the hacker to invade the company’s system.” Jason sighed.
If the system was truly hacked, all the painstaking effort in building up BUA would go down the drain. Jin Xiangdong sank into contemplation. It was the first time he encountered a situation like this and everything happened so suddenly. The puzzle was growing bigger and bigger in his mind.
“Ace, have you ever thought about Professor Lu’s background?” there were a lot of thoughts in Jason’s mind.
“I only get ahold of some official information. I have no idea about the rest. Thinking of this, it seems that I really don’t know much about her.” Jin Xiangdong shook his head.
“I think the master behind this is someone beyond us,” Jason said.
“Check Ian!” Jin Xiangdong said.
“I have asked someone to check him,” Jason responded.
“Tell me as soon as you get any updates. Also, this is just between me and you.” Jin Xiangdong had always been satisfied with Jason’s actions.
