questioning

"Yan, what do you mean by these words? You and Dustin? Was it really you at that time?"

Seeing the good doctor's surprised expression, Mu Qingyan pressed her earrings as if she had just reacted. In an instant, her whole face changed completely.

But Vasile.Guan recognized that it was the assistant lady who had appeared in Halden with Dustin before, that is, the co-founder mentioned in the obituary published by Infinity.

"Your intuition is very sharp. Didn't it really help you to dispel your suspicions about me when we were in the harbor?"

Vasile Guan did not answer this question. Countless emotions flashed across his usually serious face, as if he was struggling to digest the facts.

Mu Qingyan didn't urge him and casually called up a few video clips.

Then, in perfect agreement, Dustin took over the conversation:

"When we left Point Nemo, Yan and I told you where we would go next. It was really just a test. We didn't doubt your position at the time, but neither of us is the type to trust others easily. So, the address was fake."

"Dustin, you and Yan were spotted in Seoul, right? But the location you mentioned, if I remember correctly, was Singapore! Also, at the time, several doctors and I were in a closed-door consultation with an elderly professor on the island who was experiencing heart problems, so we had no idea what was happening outside the island."

"Your call with York is recorded. A quick check will reveal whether there was a closed consultation at the time. Even if there was, the extent of the closure remains to be determined. As for the location issue you mentioned, Infinity has since accessed surveillance footage from around the world. Indeed, BI agents were waiting in every possible location for Yan and me to fall prey to their trap. However, Singapore's action was a significant step ahead of everyone else's, by a long shot, three hours faster than Seoul."

The impact data on the holographic screen confirmed Dustin's claims. The two of them had many ways to hide their tracks, but the situation didn't allow it. After their secret investigation in Seoul, their location was discovered almost simultaneously by Infinity and BI. Fortunately, Sharon's assigned personnel were more reliable and ensured their safety.

"Dr. Guan, I think you understand the question. Do you want to start explaining now or finish it for us at the end?"

Because of these words, Vasile Guan's entire body froze visibly:

"Why? Besides these, Yan, do you have any other discoveries?"

"I'll assume you chose the latter."

Mu Qingyan continued to talk to herself, and then a strange table appeared on the screen.

"When I ran into you in Minato, I was worried something might go wrong, so I hacked into your hospital's intranet and looked at your entire schedule. Actually, I didn't see anything suspicious at the time. I just had a strange feeling that your schedule looked familiar..."

Those who are familiar with Mu Qingyan know that her sixth sense usually cannot be ignored, and in many cases she will indeed discover many remarkable details.

"As a rule of thumb, doctors' schedules should be pretty similar, so it's understandable that you feel familiar... Could it be that the one you saw earlier wasn't from the same doctor?"

"Indeed." Mu Qingyan nodded to Chen Chuxuan, confirming his guess. "Dr. Guan's schedule should seem normal to anyone. Only by looking at it over a long period of time can we discover something suspicious. That is, there are always two time periods every month when he has no plans..."

"Yan, this is normal, right? Maybe Dr. Guan just wants to be alone or go on an adventure to find himself?"

"But so did Terrence Bedford."

"Qingyan, what did you say? My uncle?"

Mu Qingyan retrieved all of Terrence Bedford's schedules that he had found before, including video records of him appearing at technology exhibitions, welfare homes, cafes, hotels, golf courses, etc., and found that he did not appear anywhere during those two time periods every month.

"I know exactly how Terrence Bedford died in Halden, but Dr. Guan, as a top cardiologist, you easily declared him dead from a sudden heart attack without finding any doubts. I originally thought you shared the same hatred and didn't want to waste too much time on that person, but now it seems that's not the case..."

"Yan, what do you mean..." Shen Chuxuan's voice was a little shaky.

"I mean, the Terrence Bedford you saw when communicating with Lawrence Bedford might be real. He is indeed not dead, and the person who saved him, if I'm not mistaken, Dr. Guan..." She turned to Vasile Guan, "was you?"

I'm afraid no one would be able to connect a world-renowned doctor with the main person responsible for this incident. Even some of the people present who have seen some worldly things still cannot immediately digest this fact.

"Sister Qingyan, why did you list Dr. Guan as a suspect? Even I can't see where his flaws are. A few days ago... a few days ago, he clearly spoke for Infinity..."

Based on Sharon's experience, there must have been such an opportunity that Mu Qingyan seized, allowing her to connect this series of coincidences together.

"Dr. Guan, do you have the same question?" Mu Qingyan asked back.

"I'm all ears."

"Before leaving for Halden, I compiled detailed information about all attendees for Dustin to memorize so he wouldn't be disrespectful at the meeting. Dr. Guan, your information, as the mediator, was naturally included. I heard that you treat everyone equally during surgery, even saving the most vicious criminals. But that was the only time you were accidentally injured, right?"

It is said that the criminal also suffered a sudden heart attack at that time. He obviously had no strength left and was still handcuffed, but when Dr. Guan appeared, he suddenly jumped up and stabbed the other party with a scalpel.

"Were you really okay at that time?"

"Yan, thank you for your concern. Of course, he's not okay, it's just a minor injury. The man was drunk and couldn't hold the knife steadily, so the stab wasn't deep."

"Yeah?"

With these two words, Vasile Guan's aura suddenly changed.

"Why would I lie? Everyone in the industry knows that the injury had no impact on the success rate of my surgery. Yan, if you have anything else to say, why not say it all at once?"

Mu Qingyan waved her hand to signal the other party not to get excited, then snapped her fingers, and the content on the holographic screen changed again. This time, it was the scene of everyone dancing at the dinner party in the port area.

"Dr. Guan, I believe you should still remember what happened at that time based on your memory. I have never been good at dancing, so I almost fell during one of the moves, and I have to thank you for helping me in time. Similarly, when you helped me up, I felt something was particularly wrong. Although I acted normally later, I actually spent the whole night thinking about what was wrong."

"Why? Sister Qingyan, please tell me!"

"York told me that later."

"Me?" The person who was suddenly called out was confused. "Yan, you know I'm not familiar with Dr. Guan. Apart from that phone call, I've never dealt with him again. And I don't remember discussing Dr. Guan with you."

"I didn't say you told me that verbally."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Do you remember when I almost fell when I came out of the monitoring cabin after I came to Australia? Jason and Kins—"

When she mentioned this name, Mu Qingyan paused unconsciously, but she quickly adjusted herself.

"There was no one else around at the time, so you ran over and helped me up."

"Isn't this a small thing as it should be..."

"No, that's not the problem. It's because of your support that I realized what was wrong. Your touch is exactly the same as Dr. Guan's."

"Stop! Stop! Yan, what are you talking about? Is my Chinese not good enough or did you use the wrong word?" Because of a certain word, the innocent CTO, who has always loved nature, was embarrassed.

Dustin snorted, but he understood the meaning of Mu Qingyan's words faster than the person involved:

"Yan meant that Vasile Guan's hands, like yours, are specially constructed."

"What? You mean?"

All the relevant Infinity personnel present knew about this matter, but there were still Shen Chuxuan and Vasile.Guan who were unaware of it, so after York reacted, he quickly took off his suit jacket, took off his gloves that were as thin as another layer of skin, and rolled up his left sleeve.

Shen Chuxuan couldn't help but exclaimed.

There was no skin or protoplasm covering it, and it was a completely mechanically manufactured arm, like a robot that only needed one step to be shipped out of the factory.

As York changed his movements inadvertently, the joint bearing of his elbow rotated and tightened, driving the chain connecting the forearm to the wrist to turn, and the pulse current impact caused the pipelines in the humerus to stretch.

For someone who's been around robots for years, this is actually quite pleasing to the eye. So York never felt the need to apply artificial skin or anything like that. Rather, he just thought it was pretty cool...

"Dr. Guan, I won't embarrass you. Although your arm was disguised with extremely advanced technology and the instruments can't detect any difference from an ordinary human arm, you are here at Infinity now. The laboratory has countless methods to confirm what I just said. Did the criminal at that time not just stab you?"

Mu Qingyan didn't dare to guess how serious the injury was caused by the accident, so serious that Vasile Guan couldn't save his entire arm.

The other party was silent for a long time before speaking, but what he said was something completely different:

"Yan, when I injured my wrist trying to save you, was this what you were thinking?"
