After leaving the hospital, Shi Miao returned to Lanting Apartment.

"This is Gu Yanxin's phone that Fu Jin found in that taxi. Her last call was to Qin Chu," Ji Yanchen said, pointing to the phone on the table.

Upon hearing this, Shi Miao clicked her tongue and curled her lips, "So Qin Chu used her to try and get rid of me."

"Given Qin Chu's cunning, he must have guessed that I would send someone to secretly watch Gu Yanxin. He probably already has all the evidence. Gu Yanxin is obviously no longer of any use to me now." Ji Yanchen's eyes darkened, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the table as he analyzed slowly.

"He really thinks highly of me, but right now we're in the dark while he's in the light," Shi Miao said lazily, arms crossed.

"Yes, he probably won't be making any moves anytime soon." Ji Yanchen nodded.

Shi Miao rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment. Then she reached for Gu Yanxin's phone on the table, found Qin Chu's number, and dialed it directly.

"Tsk, did you tell me what happened to me?" Qin Chu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Shi Miao didn't speak, but turned on speakerphone.

After a few seconds of silence, the person on the other end suddenly said, "Shi Miao?"

"Hmm, you're not too stupid," Shi Miao said casually.

"You knew everything?" Qin Chu's voice tightened.

"What do you mean?" Shi Miao's eyes deepened, and he asked casually.

"Heh." Qin Chu sneered, didn't answer, and hung up the phone directly.

Ji Yanchen raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, "Are you scared?"

"Who knows?" Shi Miao shrugged and casually tossed her phone onto the sofa.

......

Qin Chu tugged at his tie in frustration. He hadn't expected Shi Miao to be so direct with him. What did she know?

Gu Yanxin is such a fool, she's more trouble than she's worth.

Qin Chu rubbed his throbbing temples. He was in a very passive position, and Gu Wanqing was showing signs of starting to remember things again.

He picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number in M ​​continent.

"Can we do another hypnosis session to reinforce her memory and prevent her from remembering it?"

"It's best not to. The multiple hypnosis sessions she underwent back then have already had a significant impact on her brain. Doing it again could very likely lead to memory disorder, and the worst outcome would be going insane."

Qin Chu's fingers tightened around his phone, his face darkening. After a few seconds of silence, he said in a low voice, "Okay... I'll think about it..."

At night, Shi Miao sat on the bed, suddenly thought of something, picked up her phone and called Yun Yi.

"Can a person's memories be altered?" Shi Miao's fair fingers caressed her phone, her eyes flickering slightly.

“Under deep hypnosis, by constantly suggesting that non-existent memories be implanted to overwrite existing ones, this is something that not everyone can do. However, as far as I know, there should be someone in a reclusive family who can do it,” Yun Yi said after a moment of thought.

"Can you still recall those overwritten memories?" Shi Miao's expression suddenly turned cold as he asked in a deep voice.

"In theory, hypnosis should be able to help."

"Hmm, do you know anyone in any of these reclusive families?"

"Yes, there is a pharmacy association within the reclusive families. Our medical organization sends a delegation to the pharmacy association every year for academic exchanges."

"What time?"

"I've already been there this year, so I'll have to wait until next July."

"Okay, count me in next year."

"That's possible, but why are you suddenly so interested in reclusive families?"

"Hmm, it's a secret," Shi Miao said, her voice slightly hoarse as she lowered her eyes.

"......"

The following day, H City No.1 Middle School

"Sister Miao, it's my birthday this Saturday. I'm going back to the capital to have a birthday party. Why don't you come too?" Ji Sinian said lazily, lying on the table and turning to look at the girl who was reading a book next to him.

Upon hearing this, Shi Miao lifted her eyelids to glance at him and gave a faint "hmm".

"Well, I'm telling you in advance! You have to be free on Saturday!" Ji Sinian sat up straight in a flash.

Shi Miao clicked her tongue and said, "I know."

He then took out his phone from his pocket and sent a message to Zhong Li.

Shi Miao: [My friend sent me a big one for their birthday.]

F-Asia Gold Miner: [OK, I guarantee you'll steal the show!]

Shi Miao: [...]

F-state gold miner: [Boss, send me the address.]

Shi Miao turned to look at Ji Sinian, her eyes gleaming, and said lazily, "Give me the address of your birthday party."

Ji Sinian scratched his head, wondering why Shi Miao wanted the address. "Ah, okay."

Shi Miao then sent the address that Ji Sinian had given her to Zhong Li.

After inviting Hu Tiantian, Ji Sinian stretched out his long leg and kicked Lu Hansheng's chair, "Hey, bookworm, do you want to come?"

Lu Hansheng frowned and said coldly without turning his head, "I'm not familiar with you."

"Damn it, what do you mean, Lu Hansheng? I'm so kind to invite you, and you dare to refuse me?" Ji Sinian's face stiffened, and he slammed his hand on the table, raising his voice.

Lu Hansheng ignored him, moved her chair forward, and continued writing her test paper.

Ji Sinian was about to get up to say something when Shi Miao stopped him in time.

"Sister Miao, why are you stopping me? You're really making me angry. This kid doesn't know what's good for him." Ji Sinian turned to look at Shi Miao and said angrily.

Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly. "Why do you, a slacker, always bother those top students?"

Ji Sinian: "......"
