Given that she didn't have these memories when she received the original owner's memories upon her transmigration, Chu Nian guessed that the original owner of this body might have had some of her memories artificially erased.
Chu Nian woke up with a terrible headache. She hadn't slept well all night, having bizarre dreams. Sometimes she was tied up, sometimes she was being held up by a bunch of people, and sometimes she was busy in a room full of computers, with different path names flashing rapidly on all the computer screens...
The original owner, Zhao Nian, studied financial management in university, but judging from the situation in this computer room, it seemed like a computer science student, and that they were developing and researching some impressive computer project.
The saying goes, "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night." Chu Nian suspected that this project was about that AI computer.
After she finished washing up, she saw that it was just 6:30. After thinking for a moment, she decided to call Fei Sisi.
"Zhuzhu, why are you calling me so early?" Fei Sisi's voice came through. Chu Nian heard that her voice was normal and guessed that Zhao Nian probably hadn't taken any further action, so she felt a little relieved.
She replied, "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night and had a lot of dreams. I felt unwell when I woke up this morning and wanted to confide in someone."
Fei Sisi laughed after hearing this and said, "How come you're just like me? I didn't sleep well last night either, and I'm not feeling well either."
Chu Nian then said, "I'll come find you in a bit, let's go have breakfast together!"
Fei Sisi asked curiously, "What, aren't you having breakfast at home today? My mom made breakfast for me and said she'd drive me to school later!"
"Drive me?" Chu Nian's heart skipped a beat. Worried that Zhao Nian might do something shady on the way, she quickly said, "You're so old already, do you still need your aunt to take you to school? Wait for me, I'll come find you. Let's ride our bicycles to school ourselves!" After a pause, she added somewhat helplessly, "I'm already on my way to find you."
The Zhao family actually drove the two sisters to and from school every day, but Chu Nian didn't like riding in the same car as Zhao Zhen, so she used rehabilitation training as an excuse to ride her bike to and from school during this period.
"Huh?" Fei Sisi exclaimed in surprise, "You're already on your way! Well, okay then, I'll wait for you at home. Why don't you come to my house for breakfast? My mom has already prepared the food, and it would upset her if I didn't eat it."
Chu Nian had a gut feeling that Zhao Nian might not have good intentions, so she said, "Okay, then wait for me to eat together!" However, Zhao Nian probably wouldn't poison her directly, right? It's always better to be careful.
"Okay, okay!" Fei Sisi laughed, "You're so old now, why are you still acting like a child?"
Chu Nian quickly put on her coat, grabbed her schoolbag, and went out. Although the Fei family's house was not close to the Zhao family's house, she arrived at the Fei family's house in just a few minutes at her speed.
Just then, Fei Sisi mentioned to Zhao Nian that Zhao Zhu was coming over for breakfast, and Zhao Nian asked, half surprised and half annoyed, "Why does she want to come to our house for breakfast?"
Fei Yi happened to come out of the bedroom and said unhappily, "Sisi, didn't your mom and dad tell you a long time ago not to get too close to their family?"
Zhao Nian quickly chimed in, "Yes, they look down on your dad because he's a working-class man, so we don't need to fawn over them." She spoke with such confidence.
Fei Sisi said, "But Zhuzhu doesn't look down on us at all, and she's always taken good care of me at school. I don't want to drift apart from her."
Zhao Nian and Fei Yi exchanged a glance, and Fei Yi said helplessly, "Then you didn't need to invite her into your house! If she goes home and tells your uncles and the others what we eat and use, they'll laugh at us for not having money."
Zhao Nian nodded and said, "Yes, we should bring her home less often in the future."
Fei Sisi thought her parents' words made sense, so she nodded in agreement. Then the doorbell rang, and she quickly went to open the door, exclaiming in surprise, "Oh, I didn't expect Zhuzhu to arrive so quickly."
Actually, Chu Nian had already heard their conversation from quite a distance, and felt that the Fei couple were really quite "husband and wife in perfect harmony".
However, when Fei Sisi came to open the door, Chu Nian still put on a smile, pretended not to know anything, and greeted Zhao Nian and Fei Yi in a very sunny and polite manner.
In front of her, the two men immediately transformed into very kind and gentle elders, quickly urging her to wash her hands and eat.
This time, Chu Nian's interaction with Zhao Nian lasted longer than the last time at school, and because they were eating at the same table, they were very close. Chu Nian noticed a detail she had previously overlooked: how come Zhao Nian didn't show any signs of having given birth?
According to the principles of cloning, the cloner should completely retain the physical state of the cloned person at the time of gene extraction. However, Zhao Nian's original body was cloned by Fei Yi, who sent her head to Maria Corporation when Fei Sisi was a teenager.
It's astonishing that a high school student's mother has no signs of childbirth. Unless she never gave birth at all, or her genes were extracted and cloned before Zhao Nian's original body had even given birth.
This discovery shocked Chu Nian even more than when she found out that Zhao Nian did not have a chip in her body.
Chu Nian felt that there must be some details between Zhao Nian's original self and the clone that even the original owner was unaware of. And these details should be related to the memories that the original owner had been erased.
Those memories… Given that Chu Nian’s mind has been constantly flashing back to that computer ever since he infiltrated Maria Corporation’s underground laboratory yesterday and discovered it, Chu Nian suspects that these memories are still related to that computer.
Because she was in a hurry to get to school, Chu Nian only stayed at the Fei family's house for about fifteen minutes, but this allowed her to successfully explore the entire house inside and out.
She discovered a very high-end computer, estimated to be second only to Maria Corporation's AI control system in terms of sophistication. Zhao Nian's phone was also extremely advanced; it seemed there weren't any phones this advanced available on the market yet.
Chu Nian felt that this clone, Zhao Nian, might hold a much higher position within Maria Corporation than the clone, Yan Chi, and her connection to the company was likely much stronger. Furthermore, her cloning process might have occurred earlier than Yan Chi's, at least before Fei Sisi's birth.
The special services provided to Fei Yi during his business trip were likely just a tactic employed by Maria Company to bring him down.
Chu Nian carefully examined Fei Yi during breakfast but found nothing unusual. He seemed like an ordinary person, not a clone. Of course, his handsome and refined appearance was a prerequisite for his popularity with women.
Even if it's a clone, there will always be some differences between the cloned Zhao Nian and the killed Zhao Nian. Fei Yi, as Zhao Nian's husband who lives with her every day, is likely to find out. In order to avoid being exposed, it is necessary to drag Fei Yi into this mess.
