Soon, the exchange meeting officially began.
The first to take the stage was the Imperial Physics Institute, led by Pei Rongzheng.
"This is the latest research result from our Imperial Capital Physics Research Institute."
As he finished speaking, the lights in the center of the stage dimmed, and the projection screen behind him lit up.
Pei Rongzheng looked at the people from various research institutes present, pointed to the screen behind him, and continued to use some technical terms.
Shi Miao was listening intently when her phone suddenly vibrated.
She took her phone out of her pocket, glanced at the message notification, and saw it was a text message from an unknown number.
There's no content at all, just a picture.
When she zoomed in on the picture and saw the person in it, her fingers tightened suddenly, and a murderous intent instantly filled her eyes and brows.
The person in the picture is none other than her mother, Gu Wanqing. It was taken more than ten years ago when she was pregnant.
The image quality isn't very clear, and the angle looks like it was taken secretly.
In fact, Gu Wanqing's memory has never fully recovered; she only occasionally recalls some fragmented images.
Back when he was in the Shi family, Shi Jing had also asked some people from reclusive families who knew hypnosis to come and take a look.
However, the results all advised against using hypnosis to restore memories, so they gave up and decided to let nature take its course.
Looking at the photos on her phone, Shi Miao immediately thought of the ones Qin Chu had sent her.
However, before she could ask what the other party wanted, the unknown number sent her two more text messages.
If you want to know about her, come here.
The next picture shows the meeting place.
She clicked on it and saw it was about the artificial lake right next to the research institute.
Shi Miao closed her eyes to calm herself down, put her phone back in her pocket, turned her head to look at Huo Yudong sitting next to her, and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Huo, I'm going to the restroom."
Huo Yudong nodded. "Go ahead."
...
When Shi Miao arrived at the agreed location, Qin Mingyue was already impatient.
Qin Mingyue stared at the girl who walked by, crossed her arms, and sneered, "Shi Miao, I thought you didn't dare to come."
Shi Miao stared at her coldly, a low-pressure aura surrounding her, and without wasting words, asked, "Did Qin Chu give you the photos?"
Seeing that Shi Miao was no longer indifferent, Qin Mingyue suddenly felt a sense of relief.
She curled her red lips into a smile. "Why aren't you pretending anymore? Don't you always like to act all high and mighty?"
Shi Miao just stared at her coldly without saying a word, her dark eyes seemingly still harboring a hint of hostility.
Qin Mingyue smiled smugly and slowly took out a few photos from her pocket.
The moment Shi Miao saw the photo, she recognized the person in it, and her eyes darkened.
Qin Mingyue seemed oblivious to the faint murderous intent on Shi Miao's face. She casually scattered the photos in her hand and even pretended to fan herself, looking smug.
She clicked her tongue twice. "I can tell you really want these photos."
Shi Miao's dark eyes narrowed slightly, his voice low and cold, devoid of any warmth, "I can also see that you really want me to take action against you."
Qin Mingyue laughed heartily twice, showing no fear whatsoever, and was quite pleased to see the expression on Shi Miao's face.
She put the photos back in her pocket, but her hand inside the pocket crumpled them into a ball.
"If you don't want to know what happened to your mother back then, then go ahead and try to rob her."
As Qin Mingyue spoke, she took a few steps and approached the artificial lake.
She stopped, her other hand gripping the syringe hidden inside her pocket.
This was sent to her by Qin Chu through someone last night, including photos, with the aim of capturing Shi Miao.
As long as she injects the medicine from the syringe into Shi Miao's body, she will instantly fall into a coma, and the people Qin Chu sent to meet her are also nearby.
A hint of excitement flashed in Qin Mingyue's eyes. She turned to look at Shi Miao behind her and continued to drop the bombshell, "By the way, did you know you have an older brother who died right after birth? Speaking of which, there's a picture of him in one of the photos."
Shi Miao paused for a moment, her eyes filled with deep surprise, as if she was pondering the truth of what she said.
While she was distracted, Qin Mingyue suddenly pulled her hand out of her pocket, crumpled the photo in her palm, and threw it forcefully into the artificial lake in front of her.
When Shi Miao came to her senses, she saw Qin Mingyue throw the photo into the lake.
Her body reacted first, and without thinking, she was about to jump into the lake.
Qin Mingyue had been waiting for this moment. Just a second before Shi Miao jumped in, she forcefully tackled her to the ground, took out a syringe from her pocket, and without the slightest hesitation, plunged it into Shi Miao's neck.
However, just one centimeter away from Shi Miao's neck, she grabbed her wrist with her other hand and threw her aside.
Shi Miao sprang up from the ground, grabbed Qin Mingyue by the neck with his five fingers, and slowly pulled her up from the ground. "Want to die?"
Qin Mingyue's pupils trembled violently, her brows furrowed in disbelief; she hadn't expected that even this wouldn't succeed.
Shi Miao's grip tightened little by little, and Qin Mingyue's face flushed red.
She started frantically trying to pry open Shi Miao's arms, but she couldn't break free at all.
Breathing became increasingly difficult, and Qin Mingyue experienced the feeling of death for the first time.
Just when she thought she was about to suffocate, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Let her go!"
The next second, the hand on her neck released her.
Qin Mingyue collapsed to the ground, arching her back and coughing violently, as if she were about to cough up her lungs.
She didn't expect Zhou Yan to be here, but thankfully she was saved.
"Are you alright?" Zhou Yan quickly came over and helped her up.
"It's alright, thanks to you." Qin Mingyue covered her still burning throat, pointed at Shi Miao standing to the side, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "She wanted to kill me."
Zhou Yan had witnessed Shi Miao choking Qin Mingyue, so she naturally believed that what Shi Miao said was true. She looked at Shi Miao warily and said, "Mingyue, don't be afraid. We'll call the police now."
He then took out his phone from his pocket and called the police.
However, Shi Miao didn't care at all what the two people were saying, nor did she care that they had called the police.
She glanced at the photo floating on the lake, took off her coat, and jumped in without hesitation.
Zhou Yan was startled by her sudden action. The shock on her face seemed to have been paused. She swallowed hard. "Mingyue...is she going to commit suicide out of guilt?"
Qin Mingyue's shock was no less than Zhou Yan's; she simply couldn't understand it. It was just a few photos, why was it such a big deal?
