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

"Well…"Mason Alvarez stroked her chin as she pondered the question, clearly deep in thought.After a long pause, she finally spoke."You’re asking the wrong person. When it comes to picking gifts for men, I’m absolutely hopeless. I’ve never given anything to a boyfriend—because I’ve never had one.""Besides, since it’s Mr. Wilson’s birthday, I probably should be getting him something too. I need to think about what to give him.""After all, he’s the colleague I respect the most."She looked contemplative, as if genuinely mulling it over."Right, guess that means you're no help at all," Alice sighed."How about giving him some wine or cigarettes?" Mason offered."Are you dumb? Joseph doesn’t smoke. He drinks occasionally, but he doesn't even like it.""He’s a doctor. He’s very particular about what he eats and drinks. Cigarettes and alcohol? Forget it. You’re even more unreliable than I am."Alice couldn’t help but roast her senior with exasperation.This was truly peak absurdity—absu

"Really? No wonder it tasted so good." Alice smacked her lips, as if savoring the lingering flavor of the water.Joseph chuckled and gently pinched her cheek."Ow! That hurts, you bully! You always pinch my face—it's going to swell!" Alice covered her cheek, pouting in mock grievance."It’s getting late. I’m going to shower and get to bed. I’ve got class early tomorrow." Joseph glanced at the time again."Then give me a kiss!" Alice stood before him, lips adorably puckered.Joseph leaned in and gave her a light peck on her rosy lips."Hee hee, now I can sleep. You wash up quick too!" Alice tidied his collar out of habit, then skipped off to her room.Just as she closed the door, she peeked back out, poked her head around the frame, and blew him a playful kiss.Joseph couldn’t help but smile. She was a grown woman, yet somehow, she still felt like a mischievous little girl. No matter how time passed, Alice in his eyes would always be that sprightly, untamed girl.Shaking his head
