Bi 'er was twenty-two years old this year.
When she was twelve, Sinai had been fed some kind of alchemy drug and turned into a six-year-old child.
But when Sinai was around, all eyes would fall on Sinai.
A genius scientist.
The Ryan family had been established for thousands of years, and Sinai was the only one.
Bi 'er also grew up under the glory of Sinai.
The sentence she heard the most was how amazing her aunt was.
It wasn't until ten years ago when Sinai disappeared for no reason that Bi 'er felt the pressure on her disappear.
Until now, it seemed that everyone had forgotten about Sinai, including everyone in the research institute.
She was the one who inherited the title of genius, and she was also the youngest researcher.
Bi 'er didn't know about Sinai's shrinking body, but she had a deep impression of Sinai's appearance.
In particular, Sinai was very different from the other members of the family, and her hair was white.
Now that she suddenly saw her aunt who had been missing for ten years, she was stunned and her body stiffened for a moment.
"Hey, you guys, don't you know that there is a strict hierarchy here?" Tian Yan crossed her arms and looked at Ying Zijin and the other two contemptuously. "Miss Bi 'er is here, and you dare to go in first?"
Ying Zijin had changed her appearance, so Tian Yan didn't recognize her at all.
She vaguely felt that Sinai looked a bit like Bi 'er, and wondered which member of the Ryan family she was from.
But Bi 'er was the number one genius of the younger generation. She was good at both civil and martial arts, and had even been summoned by the sage.
How could the other members have a higher status than Bi 'er?
"Strict hierarchy?" Sinai smiled faintly, but her eyes were very calm. "I think so too."
"Then why don't you hurry up and move your car away?" Tian Yan sneered. "Do you know that you can afford to buy a car because of Miss Bi 'er's research results?"
Sinai stood still with his hands in his pockets.
Bi 'er finally came back to her senses. She walked forward and bowed to the woman. "Auntie, I almost didn't recognize you. Please forgive my rudeness."
In an instant, Tian Yan's brain buzzed, as if a sledgehammer was about to hit her head, and the shock made her eardrums hurt.
What did she hear?
Aunt … Aunt?
What a joke.
"I've grown up, but I don't have a good eye for friends." Sinai glanced at the stiff Tian Yan. "I heard from Dean Norman that she even led the group to bully the junior students?"
"You don't have the life of an S rank, but you have the illness of an S rank. How arrogant."
Tian Yan felt a chill run down his spine.
Her legs went soft, and she knelt down with a "plop", looking flustered. "Miss Sinai, I didn't do it on purpose, absolutely not."
How did Sinai know what happened in the research institute?
Ying Zijin was just a junior student. How did she manage to get Dean Norman's attention?
Bi 'er clearly knew how much Dean Norman valued Sinai. She made a prompt decision. "Drive this person out. She is not allowed to step into the family's territory in the future."
"Yes!"
Two guards stepped forward and held Tian Yan up.
Tian Yan was even more flustered. "Sister Bi 'er! Miss Sinai! "
However, the guards didn't give her time to struggle and threw her out of the territory.
"Auntie, it's my fault for making friends." Bi 'er's eyes moved to Yu Xuesheng and Ying Zijin. "These two are?"
"It's not for you to ask." Sinai said calmly. "Mind your own business."
Bi 'er's body froze in place.
She pursed her lips, and her eyes darkened. "Yes, Auntie."
Bi 'er glanced at the girl in the baseball cap and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Strange.
Why did she feel this way?
In the manor.
Sinai came back once yesterday afternoon, and the servants were no longer as surprised as before.
Third Madam also managed to calm down.
She didn't know what method Sinai used to recover her body, but it had nothing to do with her.
As long as Su Wen didn't wake up, Sinai didn't have any real power.
"Mr. Yu, it's been a long time." Third Madam greeted him with a smile. "It's our Fifth Miss who didn't know better and insisted on inviting you to the World City."
"Third Madam, you're too polite." Yu Xuesheng calmly avoided her. "Fifth Miss, let's go."
Third Madam's face was pale. She could only watch the three of them go in.
She sat outside with Mo Qian.
Third Madam was anxious. "What if they really make Su Wen wake up?"
"What should we do?" Mo Qian took a puff of his cigarette and found it strange. "What are you laughing at? Even a sage couldn't be saved. Two hypnotists from the seven continents and four oceans can do it?"
"You and I both know what's troubling Su Wen. It's nothing more than Big Brother and her dead child. But it's been 20 years and Big Brother hasn't come back. Her child is already dead. Who can save her?"
Third Madam calmed down.
That's right.
Su Wen would never wake up.
In the medical room.
There were various medical instruments around the ice bed. There were densely packed data on them.
This was Ying Zijin's first time seeing the famous Madam Su Wen in the World City.
The woman lay quietly on the ice bed. Her face didn't look any different from 20 years ago.
Her appearance might not be so beautiful that it could turn the world upside down, but her temperament was incomparable.
Ying Zijin lowered her eyes. She sat down in front of the ice bed and took out a long box containing gold and silver needles.
She opened it.
"Stop!" The doctor rushed over from the side office. He looked stern. "What are you doing?"
Ying Zijin's voice was steady. "Acupuncture."
"Acupuncture?" The doctor laughed angrily. "You can't do acupuncture. Are you hypnotists or traditional Chinese medicine?"
"Both." Sinai frowned. "Why can't I do acupuncture?"
"I'm sorry." The doctor still refused. He was polite and distant. "We definitely won't allow an outsider to perform acupuncture on the Madam."
What era was it now? Acupuncture was still used?
This was something that had been eliminated by the World City hundreds of years ago.
Now that technology was advanced, AI could replace many human jobs.
After a while, the four knight groups would be eliminated and replaced by robots.
Hence, there wasn't a hypnotist industry in the World City.
The doctor also didn't want to reason with an assistant. She turned her head: "Mr. Yu, let alone this needle, even if Madam Suwen loses a strand of hair, or if someone touches her shoulder, the chip and instrument will send all the data to the Sage Courtyard."
"When the time comes, it'll be fine if Madam wakes up, but if she doesn't —" She looked at the two of them with a sharp gaze. "You'll be captured by the Sage Courtyard's knight group and executed immediately. I'm not joking."
Sinai crossed her arms. Her eyes were cold. "How do you know she won't wake up if you don't even try?"
"Miss Sinai, the risk assessment for acupuncture treatment shows that the risk index is 99.9%." The doctor tapped in the air. Soon, a floating 3D screen appeared. "You've been in the research institute for so long. You should know that the instrument won't make a mistake."
It listed all the possibilities of Su Wen after acupuncture.
Death on the spot 50%
Permanent coma 20%
Stability 15%
Slight improvement 5%
…
The possibility of waking up was only 0.1%.
Sinai frowned.
The doctor was right.
This wasn't something they could decide.
The third madam didn't dare to touch Su Wen because of the Sage Courtyard.
She trusted Ying Zijin, but the Sage Courtyard and the rest of the Ryan family didn't.
Who would trust someone who had just arrived in the World City?
"No need." Ying Zijin put down the golden needle. "Not for now."
The doctor let down her guard. "Okay, I'll remove the defense system temporarily, as long as you don't cause any harm to Madam Wang."
She pressed a button and the protection on the ice bed was removed.
Ying Zijin raised her hand and put it on Su Wen's wrist. Her fingers moved slightly.
The woman's body was cold.
Ten seconds later, Ying Zijin put down her hand.
Sinai's expression tensed. "How is it?"
"She still has the will to live, but she doesn't want to wake up." Ying Zijin nodded. "To put it simply, she created a beautiful dream for herself. This dream is better than reality, so she doesn't need to wake up."
"In psychology, we call this' avoidance '." Yu Xuesheng added, "It's human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. A few years ago, this was the diagnosis I gave."
"But now her condition has improved because I noticed that there seems to be an external force breaking her dream. This is very uncomfortable for her, but once the dream is broken, she can wake up as long as she can endure it."
The doctor couldn't listen anymore.
After all, she was sent by the Sage Courtyard and had been in charge of Su Wen's illness for almost ten years.
She had used all the precious medical equipment, but it was useless.
"Yes," Ying Zijin said. "A while ago, did she have any physical reaction?"
Hearing this, the doctor's body shook. "Yes, how did you know?"
Were hypnosis and psychology really that amazing?
"This is the external force I was talking about." Yu Xuesheng smiled. "This is good news. Before, I wasn't confident that I could wake her up, but now I'm at least 60% confident."
The doctor was a little convinced. "How long will it take?"
"Depending on how strong this external force is, it can take as little as three months and as long as a year," said Yu Xuesheng. "Every week, I'll come here with my assistant."
Ying Zijin had an idea of Su Wen's illness. She stood up and said, "Let's go."
Sinai followed her out, still frowning.
The doctor was left alone to record Su Wen's physical data. She glanced at it unconsciously.
On the ice bed, Su Wen's fingers moved, as if she was trying to grab something.
The doctor was stunned for a moment and quickly ran over to check carefully. Then she looked at the electrocardiogram, brain waves and other data on the equipment.
In the end, she didn't find any problems.
The doctor frowned.
Maybe she was wrong.
**
Sinai came out of the medical room and went straight to the pharmacy next door.
She rummaged through the shelves.
"What are you looking for?" A voice sounded behind her. "Looking for Mrs. Wang's blood sample? Sorry, it's gone. "
Sinai put down her hand and turned her head. Her Bing Lan eyes were as cold as ice.
This was her normal personality and appearance.
She was cold and without any warmth.
Sinai used to be with experimental equipment all the time. She didn't have the vitality and youthfulness of girls her age.
Mrs. Wang didn't like Sinai at all.
Mrs. Wang sneered. "You're the only one who can use the blood sample left by Mrs. Wang in ten years. You're taking it to find someone who's already dead."
"It's been ten years. Do you think the blood sample is inexhaustible?"
The technology in the World City was much more advanced.
There were many more methods for paternity testing.
The only thing that didn't change was that the blood and hair of the person being tested were needed.
Sinai didn't say anything and left the pharmacy.
Mrs. Wang looked at the woman with a gloomy expression.
Why didn't the person who fed Sinai the medicine kill her immediately?
But it made sense.
If any member of the main Lineal Clan died, they would be brought to the Sage Tribunal and judged by the entire Sage Tribunal.
Mrs. Wang just thought about it. She didn't dare to actually do it.
**
Outside.
Yu Xuesheng had already parked the car.
Sinai bent down to get into the car and was about to speak.
Ying Zijin took out her phone and pointed it at her. She shook her head slightly.
There was a sentence on the screen.
[Someone is following us. There's a tracker in the car.]
Sinai understood.
In the driver's seat, Yu Xuesheng started the car and entered the driving track.
Ying Zijin closed her eyes and leaned against the window to rest.
In fact, the Ancient Martial Artist's Inner Strength was released silently, instantly shattering all the trackers on the car.
"Ah Ying, it's not that I don't believe you." Sinai was silent for a moment. "I've been outside a few times. I know that ancient martial arts and ancient medicine are magical things that only exist in the outside world. But the Sage Court doesn't believe it. They only believe the data on the equipment."
Ying Zijin turned around. "So you're saying that as long as we get the warrant of any sage from the Sage Court, it's fine?"
"Yes." Sinai shook her head slightly. "But where can we get it?"
Ying Zijin nodded slowly. "Okay."
