Chapter 978 - 977: Cutting Open the Heart to Verify Her Identity

In the pitch-black night, Nalan Ye Jue stood up from the recliner in the study.

In the dream, Qin Xin kept calling him repeatedly, but could not connect. Her disappointed expression on her plain white face was vividly clear, not like a dream, more like it actually happened.

Qin Xin was just sleeping in the next room, why was she anxiously calling him?

Nalan Ye Jue recalled three days ago, when he took Qin Xin out for dinner and to watch the car races.

She was clearly a god of car racing, but that day at the track, she showed little interest and fell asleep halfway through. Even when her apprentice Zhou Yu cried with gratitude for her on the award podium, she showed little reaction.

She once loved to eat at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Galaxy Family, and hated Japanese cuisine. However, that day, when he suggested Japanese cuisine, she gladly accepted and ate happily, without leaving a single grain of rice.

She and Lan Qingxin were one and the same, always using Lan Qingxin’s long hair. When reverting to her Qin Xin identity, she would wear a convincingly realistic short wig, which she once removed to show him, and it was indeed well-crafted.

But now, her short hair was real.

He observed all these little details, but couldn’t bear to expose them.

Without solid evidence, relying only on his experience, he couldn’t make reckless conclusions.

Therefore, that day, he made a quick call and asked Wu Zhiming and Xiangxiang to come, pretending to bump into them by accident.

Qin Xin’s attitude remained indifferent when she saw Wu Zhiming and Xiangxiang, showing little reaction.

But Xiangxiang had a strong reaction.

She pulled Nalan Ye Jue aside with seriousness and said, "Young Master Jue, this is not the Young Miss, this is definitely not the Young Miss."

It’s important to know, when Xiangxiang nearly died from self-destruction for Qin Xin, Qin Xin revealed her real face, not Lan Qingxin’s face with a birthmark!

Back then, Xiangxiang would risk her life to protect her.

Why doesn’t she acknowledge her now?

"I don’t know, I just have this feeling, that she is not our Young Miss, even if the face looks similar..."

Xiangxiang insisted.

So, this person is neither Qin Xin nor Lan Qingxin?

Afterwards, Nalan Ye Jue specifically asked Wu Zhiming, "You’ve seen Qin Xin, what do you think?"

Having taken medicine given by Qin Xin, Wu Zhiming’s mental state was now much more stable, his speech no longer erratic. Moreover, grateful to Qin Xin and Nalan Ye Jue’s couple for saving Xiangxiang, he worked diligently for them:

"The Qin Miss I remember isn’t like this, her aura is completely different. Even if there are aftereffects from the three-month coma, those aftereffects shouldn’t be this severe, right?"

As he spoke, he cautiously proposed a hypothesis: "Actually, Young Master, have you considered that this Qin Miss might have been transformed by someone? Similar to how my daughter Xiangxiang was back then..."

Nalan Ye Jue’s face darkened: "You’re saying Qin Xin is now a robot?"

Wu Zhiming awkwardly replied, "I’m just suggesting a possibility. If she has been implanted with a chip, brain-controlled by someone, it’s highly possible that her personality changed dramatically. Besides, didn’t you say she pointed a knife at your blood vessel in the middle of the night? This also fits the pattern of being controlled, doesn’t it?"

Nalan Ye Jue was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "How to prove she’s been implanted with a chip?"

Wu Zhiming: "That’s simple, just dissect her and check."

Nalan Ye Jue: "No way! What if there’s nothing there? Dissection is life-threatening! Can we use a CT scan for a full-body examination?"

Wu Zhiming scratched his head: "It’s useless, when we make robots, chips are treated to prevent detection, just in case a medical check exposes them. Only a physical dissection, actually cutting open the flesh around the heart, can verify if there’s a chip inside."
