Who moved her body?

"She's gone," Dr. Chen said.

Guan Jie knew, but he didn't want to admit it.

"Let's hurry up, it's almost time for our patrol." Dr. Chen glanced at his watch and reminded Guan Jie.

Guan Jie sat on the floor, leaning against the glass dome. "Do you know what it feels like to love someone and lose her twice?" Guan Jie shook his head. "No, you don't know."

Dr. Chen lowered his head. "I'm sorry, what we did was cruel."

Guan Jie took out a thermos from his pocket and handed it to Dr. Chen. "Here's your medicine. Let me stay with Xiao Xian a little longer."

"Let's go. I won't tell anyone you were here."

"Let me go? Are you remorseful for what you've done?" Guan Jie said with a cold laugh. "You control life and death, isn't it wonderful to have that feeling, like God? Does God have any compassion? If you had even a shred of pity, why didn't you inject Xiao Xian with the medication sooner? Otherwise, how could she have ended up like this?"

Guan Jie cried and laughed, shouting, "You treated her like a guinea pig, discarding her once you were done with her. Do you even know that there was someone who loved her behind her? She was a living, breathing person too!"

"She loves you. I wanted to save her when her self-awareness was just awakening, but she chose to die remembering rather than live forgetting. She would rather die than give you up with permanent oblivion." Dr. Chen sighed and said, "When she was lucid, she told me that if any fool came to save her, I must stop him. She asked me to tell you that the memories of these past few days are enough. She will leave with the memories of love, because only with memories can one have a next life to look forward to."

Guan Jie leaned back against the glass dome, closing his eyes in pain.

"Remember death, not forget life." Guan Jie laughed heartily.

"Our choice of Shanshan—no, Song Xiaoxian—was not accidental," Dr. Chen said after a moment's thought. "Someone provided us with her information, and we felt that all her qualifications met the experimental requirements. However, at the time, I didn't know that this person was Song Xiaoxian, nor did I know that she was still alive. Three days later, Song Xiaoxian was in a car accident, and we rushed to Senhai City to conduct the experiment, which was very successful. I had my doubts at the time, but I forgot about them later. Perhaps, Song Xiaoxian's death had another cause."

The silence in the air seemed to freeze time, and Dr. Chen glanced at his watch again.

"Thank you." Guan Jie slowly stood up.

"You can only find the answer if you're alive. Remember, you must live," Dr. Chen said.

Dejected and like a dying man, Guan Jie raised his right hand and waved it. "Live."

……

Security personnel from the research center rushed over. "Has Dr. Chen left?"

"No," the security guard at the entrance of Situ Feng's villa replied definitively.

"Someone used Dr. Chen's identity to open the secret warehouse on the first floor at 6:45. I need to get this information to the boss immediately."

"I'll go right away."

The security guard who arrived looked anxiously at the gate. He knew that this mistake was enough to punish all the security personnel in their research center. The worst part was that they had no idea who had impersonated Dr. Chen.

With so many people in the research center, none of them had "disloyal intentions" written on their faces, so anyone could be the one who entered the secret warehouse.

He didn't know what was in the secret warehouse, but he knew it contained a new drug that the Situ family had painstakingly developed over generations. If the drug were stolen, all of Di Ruo's efforts over the years would be in vain.

Neither he nor the security guards at the research center understood who had obtained Dr. Chen's identity and managed to perfectly evade the infrared detectors outside the warehouse. Theoretically, no one, except perhaps air, could approach the warehouse door without triggering the infrared alarm.

The security guard waited anxiously, anticipating Situ Feng's furious outburst.

The security guards who came in to report did not dare to be negligent and immediately found Situ Feng's butler, Uncle Zhao.

"The security at the research center has important information to report to the boss: someone used Dr. Chen's identity information to enter the secret warehouse."

Uncle Zhao turned around and looked at Situ Feng, who stood in the crowd, surrounded by admirers and as noble as the moon.

"I understand. You can go back now. I'll report to the boss right away."

After the security guard left, Uncle Zhao turned and went into the kitchen.

Dr. Chen returned to the villa and bumped into the security guard who came in to report.

"Dr. Chen?"

Dr. Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of anger.

"What a fuss! You're making a mountain out of a molehill. How could you possibly be a security guard on Desolate Rock Island!"

The security guard immediately bowed his head. "I'm sorry, Dr. Chen, the security guard from the research center just came over and said that someone used your identity information to open the door to the secret warehouse at 6:45. I just went to report to the boss."

"Has it already been reported?"

"I've already reported it to Uncle Zhao, and he should have already told the boss."

Dr. Chen turned around, but there was no movement at all from the party area.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings. I'm the one who opened the warehouse. Go tell them that if they can't even see someone as big as me coming and going, they can all just get the hell out of here and go home!"

The security guard bowed his head in agreement and quickly ran out.

Back at the party, which was in full swing, Situ Feng walked over from a group of people.

"Does the doctor have something on his mind?"

"It's nothing, I just went to the research center to check if the experiment was going well."

"Let's not talk about work tonight, let's just enjoy ourselves." Situ Feng patted Dr. Chen on the shoulder and said, "It's an honor for me to have someone as dedicated as Dr. Chen by my side, and it's also an honor for Di Ruo."

Dr. Chen touched his head and said, "Boss, you flatter me."

"Let's go get a drink."

As soon as Situ Feng finished speaking, another group of people were ready to wait anxiously. Xu Haiyang immediately walked to Situ Feng's side and relayed the message to him.

After Situ Feng left, Dr. Chen called out to Xu Haiyang, "Young Master, please wait."

Xu Haiyang followed Dr. Chen to a secluded spot without making a sound. Before Xu Haiyang could speak, Dr. Chen said, "Young Master is very good at hiding his true nature."

"Was Dr. Chen telling a lame joke? Haiyang doesn't quite understand." Xu Haiyang looked bewildered, tilting his head as if trying to figure out what Dr. Chen was saying.

"I think the security in the quarantine area was arranged by Young Master Chen. Of course, that's not all. You can let your people in and out of the research center as if it were a virtual world, and even take medicine from the secret warehouse without a sound. That's quite an ability." Dr. Chen held up a small thermos and shook it. "Young Master Chen has always cultivated an image of being 'completely unambitious,' but in reality, he's been secretly infiltrating, isn't he?"

Xu Haiyang's innocent expression vanished, and he asked coldly, "What do you want?"

"Why are you so sure, young master, I won't tell the boss about this?"

"If you were planning to do that, we wouldn't have the chance to stand here. How is Zhao Ren?"

"He's alright. Shanshan is dead. I told him that someone deliberately staged a car accident to kill Shanshan."

Xu Haiyang sized up Dr. Chen, who was highly professional, and he was not quite sure why Dr. Chen would let Guan Jie go.

"You could easily capture Zhao Ren and then gain favor with your cousin."

"In your eyes, my experiment was inhumane, but I am also a person with feelings. I promised Shanshan to let Zhao Ren go. Now that Shanshan has completed my experiment, what loss would I have to lose by letting Zhao Ren go?"

"Aren't you afraid Zhao Ren will expose your experiment?"

Dr. Chen looked very confident.

"Is there any evidence? Will the public believe it? Will Di Ruo tolerate such rumors? Of course, your Zhao Ren isn't a brainless fool; he won't do that."

"What do you want? Money?"
