Lu Jia'er was surprised to see Ian . She walked towards him and asked, “Ian, why are you here?”

A bespectacled and elegant-looking Ian glanced at Jin Xiangdong who stepped out of the elevator . He turned to Lu Jia'er and gently said, “I'm here to pick you up . ”

“Pick me up?” Lu Jia'er's tone was completely different from how she spoke to Jin Xiangdong just now . It was filled with warmth .

“Yeah,” said Ian as he held out his slender hand to Lu Jia'er .

Seeing Ian's action, it was as if someone had set a fire in Jin Xiangdong's heart and the flames were slowly getting bigger . He took a step forward and glared at Ian, who appeared out of nowhere .

Ian greeted his gaze with a glint in his eyes . “This gentleman here, I will let you off this time but never overstep the boundary again . If not, we'll see you in court .

Jin Xiangdong had never liked physical violence, but hearing what Ian said, he had the impulse of punching him .

Even though his portfolio had no issues, he was still the biggest suspect in regards to the 'altered memory' of Lu Jia'er . It was just that there was no evidence .

Jin Xiangdong ignored his threat and asked, “How did you know that I brought Jia'er here?”

“Jia'er isn't a name for you to call . ” Rather than replying to his question, Ian corrected the way Jin Xiangdong called Lu Jia'er .

That arrogant tone of his displayed his dominance as her boyfriend .

But it was ineffective against Jin Xiangdong . “I should be the one saying that . ”

Their ongoing argument gave Lu Jia'er a headache . She was absolutely speechless against Jin Xiangdong's behavior . But considering the fact that he was the founder of BUA and that he was the best friend of Su Han's boyfriend, Jason, she decided to forgive all his sins .

“Mr . Jin, what my boyfriend just said was correct . I will only let you off this one time . The next time it happens, we'll see you in court . ” Lu Jia'er stood by Ian's side .

Seeing her hand being held by Ian, Jin Xiangdong was already feeling annoyed . Yet her stand was on the same side as Ian .

Lu Jia'er watched Jin Xiangdong's expression change, but she felt indifferent . She turned to Ian and said, “Ian, let's go . ”

Ian looked at Jin Xiangdong, taunted him with a sly smile full of confidence and left holding Lu Jia'er's hands .

Lu Jia'er sat in Ian's car, inadvertently saw the bottle of water between their seats and remembered the scene when she was in Jin Xiangdong's car . No wonder she was so easily hypnotized by Liu Qiming, Jin Xiangdong had done something to the water .

Was he crazy? He actually drugged her!

“What's wrong? Jiajia?” Seeing her s.p.a.ced out, Ian became concerned and asked .

“Nothing's wrong,” said Lu Jia'er as she regained her composure . She gently smiled to ease his worries .

Ian looked at Lu Jia'er and sighed, “You're always so daring!”

Lu Jia'er thought of what happened and got curious . “How did you know that I was here?”

Ian waved his phone in his hand and said, “Su Han told me that you were out with Jin Xiangdong, so I tracked your location . ”

Lu Jia'er paused and became wary . “Since when did you install a tracker in my phone?”

“Ever since your car accident!” Ian answered truthfully .

“I see,” Lu Jia'er nodded her head slightly, “but let's remove it . ”

Ian looked at Lu Jia'er and said, “You don't like it . ”

“Yeah . I'm aware that you're worried about me and there's nothing to hide about my personal schedule . It may be useful between some couples, but to me, it feels like I'm being chained up .

Sensing her reluctance, Ian's gaze flickered . He then said, “If you don't like it, I will remove it . But please reduce your contact with dangerous people in the future . ”

“Are you being jealous?” Lu Jia'er turned her face and teased him .

“Yes, I'm jealous . ” Ian did not deny his feelings .

Lu Jia'er giggled, “It feels good to know that . ”

Ian placed his hand on Lu Jia'er's head, his gaze filled with gentleness . Lu Jia'er met his gaze and blushed .

However, for some reason, the image of Jin Xiangdong's face flashed across her mind . His face overlapped with Ian's, their gentle gaze was the same…

Lu Jia'er was startled . She quickly shook her head to sober her mind .

“Jiajia!” Ian looked at her worriedly .

Lu Jia'er recovered immediately, smiled shyly at Ian and said, “I was lost in your gentle gaze . ”

Ian smiled charmingly and touched her head again .

After seeing Lu Jia'er being taken away by Ian, Jin Xiangdong aimlessly returned to BUA . He had work to do, so he set his mind to work and when he lifted his head, it was already dark outside .

The lights in his office were bright . Jin Xiangdong rubbed his temples, leaned on his chair and looked out the windows .

Jason knocked on his door, came in and saw him in a dazed . He could not help but ask, “What are you thinking about? You didn't even hear me knocking on the door . ”

Jin Xiangdong then noticed Jason, who was already standing in front of him . He looked at him and asked, “What's up?”

“It's time to get off work,” reminded Jason .

Jin Xiangdong looked at the time, it was already 6:20pm . He proceeded to switch off his computer and stood up . “Let's go . ”

“I am only having dinner with you . I have to work overtime later,” said Jason .

Jin Xiangdong took a glance at him and went straight to the door . Jason turned and followed after him . Both of them left the office together .

Inside the lift, Jin Xiangdong was deep in his thoughts . Jason looked at Jin Xiangdong's reflection in the mirror . Despite being a straight man himself, he felt that everytime Jin Xiangdong was deep in his thoughts, he had this indescribable charisma .

But recently, there was only one thing that could make Jin Xiangdong feel troubled . It was definitely related to Lu Jia'er .

“Are you alright?” asked Jason .

Jin Xiangdong returned to his senses and looked at Jason . “I'm alright . ”

Hearing that, the corner of Jason's lip lifted . “Ace, this is the first time I've seen you being lost in thoughts because of a woman . ”

Jin Xiangdong kept his composure and ignored the question . The elevator became filled with silence .

The elevator stopped at the second bas.e.m.e.nt carpark . As Jin Xiangdong walked out of the elevator, he suddenly said, “I brought Lu Jia'er to the hypnotist today . ”

As expected, for Jin Xiangdong to be lost in his thoughts, it was indeed related to Lu Jia'er . Jason thought for a while, then asked, “Did you discover anything new?”

Jin Xiangdong replied softly, “The hypnotist said that she has not been hypnotized . ”

“Was it confirmed?” asked Jason .

Jin Xiangdong told Jason about Liu Qiming's conclusion . “The hypnotist said that she has a strong mental resilience and she is not easily affected by hypnotism . ”

“Was the hypnotist a professional?” As the deputy program manager, Jason constantly sought for improvements for every matter .

During the past two days, Jason had looked through some information regarding hypnotherapy . In China, psychological counselling was not as advanced as compared to Western countries, thus they have higher subconscious defense mechanisms during hypnotism as compared to Westerners, which causes hypnotherapy to be a long-term procedure . Many psychiatrists and hypnotists do not want to spend too much time researching this topic . Also, the psychological counselling scene in China was quite chaotic, even if the psychiatrist had many certificates, their level of standard might not be high .

“He is Professor Fang's most outstanding student and he has a well-deserved reputation,” said Jin Xiangdong .

Jason said his thoughts as he walked, “If she did not lose her memories nor was she hypnotized, could she be doing it on purpose?”

“No, no matter how good a person's acting skills are, it is not possible for her to be two completely different people . ” Jin Xiangdong disagreed with him .

Jason looked at him . He was really clueless towards this sort of suspense plot .

“Could it be…?” Jin Xiangdong was unsure about the guess that he had just thought of .

“What?” asked Jason .

Jin Xiangdong said the two words, “Memory replacement . ”

“Memory replacement?” It was the first time Jason had heard this term . “T-that sounds like a fantasy . ”

“Indeed . But I've thought of it for a long time, I could only think of this to describe why Jia'er would forget about me . ” said Jin Xiangdong .

Jason did not agree with his views and said, “Maybe she was possessed . ”

Jin Xiangdong took a glance at Jason and Jason could only smile at him . Jin Xiangdong was an Atheist and a Materialist; he did not believe that G.o.ds or ghosts existed .

“Memory replacement . Unless she was…” Jason had a sudden thought .

Jin Xiangdong paused and turned to look at Jason . Their expressions showed that they had the same thought .

Subsequently, Jason was like a bobblehead doll as he quickly denied . “It's… it's impossible!”

At that moment, Jin Xiangdong was clearly shocked . To be honest, he did not believe that it could be possible either .
