Geoffrey Harris stood frozen, momentarily speechless.He wasn’t the only one. Lincoln Myers and Malcolm Gray both looked equally stunned, while Charles Martin wore a face full of confusion.What the hell? Was this supposed to be an investigation team? Because it felt more like Joseph’s fan club.Anyone with eyes could see it—these people were clearly protecting Joseph.Charles Martin couldn’t make sense of it. The members of this so-called team were high-ranking and influential figures, the cream of the crop in their respective fields.How could someone like Joseph possibly have bought them off?Was that even possible?“Dear investigators, according to protocol, the subject of the investigation is not permitted to attend the meeting,” Lincoln Myers finally couldn’t hold back and spoke up."What protocol? Rules are dead things—people are not. What’s wrong with letting someone sit in and listen?""Exactly. What could possibly be said about Mr. Wilson that can’t be said to his face? Are

Joseph stepped forward with a calm smile."Good day, everyone. I'm Joseph—the one scheduled for this investigation."He extended his hand to each of the three bald elders, who greeted him warmly, their faces full of congeniality as they shook his hand."Look at that—truly the scholarly giants of Metropolis City. Just look how friendly they all seem," Lincoln Myers murmured from the back, rubbing his own shiny dome as he spoke to Malcolm Gray."I don’t know why," Malcolm replied, also rubbing his bald head, "but I feel a strange sense of familiarity too.""Mr. Wilson, investigation sounds so harsh. We’re only here for a friendly visit," Eryndor Vexley chuckled."I don’t know why, but you three feel oddly familiar," Joseph said, his eyes scanning the trio with a faint frown.At his words, the three bald men visibly tensed, the smiles on their faces faltering."Are you sure you’ve seen us before?" Eryndor asked, nervously rubbing his smooth scalp."Not certain. It’s just a feeling," Jose

Seeing the situation, a staff member quickly hurried over."What now? Are their people approaching us?"The three bald men looked visibly agitated."Can you two grow up a little? We’re already here—there’s no turning back.""Besides, have you forgotten? Nova University’s report said that the kid’s lost a lot of his memories."The first bald man slapped his shiny forehead as if a lightbulb had gone off."But what if," the second bald man said anxiously, "he’s forgotten everything except us?"Just then, the staff member arrived, panting slightly."Gentlemen, our president is waiting to welcome you. Is there something wrong?""Oh, nothing at all. Please go back ahead. I just need to say a few words to my team. We’ll be right there.""And if I may, could you ask everyone to give us some space? What we’re discussing is... confidential."The first bald man smiled diplomatically."Ah, understood."The staffer nodded and jogged away, still baffled. He’d arranged countless receptions, but neve

"Joseph, you’re full of crap! You call that fair and impartial? You just say whatever pops into your head! There’s not a single decent person in your entire Traditional Medicine Department!"Lincoln Myers was nearly hopping with rage, his voice shrill with fury."Exactly! Joseph, when I tried to speak fairly last time, you accused me of being biased. And now here you are—pretending to be neutral. If your bias leaned any harder, it’d be orbiting the moon!""Myers is right. There's nothing good coming out of your department."Malcolm Gray jumped in, echoing the sentiment."Director Myers, Deputy Gray—watch the sweeping statements, will you? What do you mean there’s no one decent in the Traditional Medicine Department? Be mindful of your words. Or are you saying Mr. Harris isn’t decent either? He’s also the Associate Dean of that same department."Joseph shot a meaningful glance at Geoffrey Harris.Despite being the university president, Harris also held the position of associate dean in

"Uh, here are detailed profiles on the three team leaders—including info on their families and social networks.""In addition, I’ve gathered basic data on the other members of the investigation team, though nothing too in-depth.""Still, I’ve collected everything publicly available."Brady Rogers spoke earnestly as he handed over yet another thick stack of documents. Joseph’s scalp tingled just looking at it."Mr. Rogers, I only asked you to do a little background check. You’ve gone overboard—how’s Mr. Wilson supposed to go through all this?"Geoffrey Harris sighed. Rogers was an excellent student—diligent, reliable to a fault—but he didn’t know when to cut corners."This concerns Mr. Wilson, so I took it seriously. After you assigned me this task, I used both school channels and my personal contacts to compile this.""I hope it’s of help to Mr. Wilson."Rogers replied with conviction."It’s a bit much, but thank you."Joseph turned to Harris and Sanchez, smiling. "President, Professo

"Professor Alvarez, I really don’t think there’s much to worry about. First of all, I haven't done anything wrong. And secondly, I have this strong feeling I might actually know someone on the team."Joseph responded with a calm smile, his demeanor relaxed."I hope you're right. If they’re people you know, things might go a lot smoother.""But still, you’d better stay on your toes.""Seriously, what’s up with your brain? How does someone forget so many things?"Mason Alvarez looked at him, half-confused, half-concerned."Well, what’s forgotten is forgotten. I might not remember the events, but the feelings linger.""And besides, what I’ve forgotten will come back to me, eventually—it just takes time."Joseph gave a helpless chuckle."Alright, I won’t nag you.""You don’t exactly strike me as an idiot, Mr. Wilson. I’m sure you know how to handle this.""But if you need any help, don’t hesitate to come to me. My personal network might not be impressive, but I do know plenty of influenti
