570: The Truth!

The Truth!

Everyone had their own unique aura. Shen Ruojing often relied on intuition to judge people, but six years ago, Song Chen and Chu Cichen seemed to be the same person.1

Appearance could be altered through plastic surgery, but a person's inner self couldn't be identical to another person's. She had always wondered about this.

After hearing this, Jing Zhen fell silent for a long time while Shen Ruojing waited patiently for him.

After a while, when Jing Zhen still hesitated and did not know how to speak, she asked, "Is this also something that cannot be said?"

Jing Zhen nodded.

Shen Ruojing thought for a moment and asked, "Is it related to the invention that Doom Organization saw in you back then?"

Jing Zhen spoke, "Jingjing, you're really smart, worthy of being my daughter."

Shen Ruojing. "..."

At this point, Jing Zhen was still joking with her. Hence, she sighed silently. "What invention is it exactly?"

Jing Zhen did not answer directly. He only said, "This invention will overthrow the human world, so it cannot be revealed at the moment. I also do not want to tell the Doom Organization."

Shen Ruojing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Could it be that Song Chen was cloned from Chu Cichen's DNA by you?"

Cloning technology was already mature and had been successfully replicated in animals. If Song Chen was cloned from Chu Cichen's DNA by Jing Zhen, then everything would make sense! Clones were identical to the original.

(But...that's not right.)

Clones would not have the original's memories, and even if they were cloned, they would be different from the original after a period of time. Moreover, Song Chen had a background. He did not appear out of thin air but had a sister, parents… and even genetic diseases.

However, Jing Zhen did not answer the question, only saying, "I won't say unless it's absolutely necessary."

Shen Ruojing frowned and said, "Okay, where is Song Chen now?"

Jing Zhen spoke, "After Song Chen escaped, I knew he had discovered my secret. So I sent people to kill him for so many years, but he was very smart and always managed to avoid my schemes. Only by killing him, can my technology not appear in front of people again. Jingjing, do you understand what I mean?"

Shen Ruojing was surprised. "But Song Chen did nothing wrong."

Jing Zhen retorted, "His existence is a mistake!"

Shen Ruojing argued, "No matter where he came from, he was also used by you back then. Father, we can't just use people up and then kill them, can we?"

During the past half month in Country A, Song Chen had been with her all the time.

Even if he didn't do anything, his presence felt like the support she had when she was imprisoned in the cellar and listening to Chu Cichen reading books back then. It was a kind of companionship. Like the companionship six years ago...

It made her feel a hint of reluctance.

Jing Zhen sighed. "Actually, I never intended to kill him. If he had come according to my request back then and accompanied you for a walk every week until your condition improved, my original plan was just to erase his memory and let him go. But he betrayed me."

Shen Ruojing's heart sank, and she inexplicably felt a sense of panic.

She looked at Jing Zhen in shock and urgently asked, "Father, what about now? Did you kill Song Chen?"

Song Chen disappeared after Jing Zhen called him away, indicating that he must be with Jing Zhen!

Actually, when she was in the capital city of China, Song Chen was just a stranger to her. She had no emotional attachment to him. But at this moment, when she heard Jing Zhen's words, Shen Ruojing's heart suddenly panicked. She felt like she was about to lose something...

While she was thinking, Jing Zhen sighed. "I originally wanted to kill him."

Shen Ruojing's heart tightened, and then she heard Jing Zhen say. "But in the palace these past few weeks, I noticed that you treat him differently...Do you like him?"

Shen Ruojing immediately frowned and answered subconsciously, "How is that possible?"

But after these four words were spoken, she herself fell silent.

Her heart suddenly became chaotic.

When Song Chen appeared in front of her again during the past half month in the palace, she never panicked. She was very clear about her own feelings. But at this moment, she suddenly became uncertain.

Her expression gave Jing Zhen the answer.

Jing Zhen sighed. "I think you should make a choice between Song Chen and Chu Cichen."

Shen Ruojing firmly replied, "The person I like is Chu Cichen, and that has never changed. Even if I developed some good feelings toward Song Chen during the time we spent together in the palace, it was only because Song Chen is too similar to Chu Cichen..."

Jing Zhen fell silent for a long time and finally said, "Song Chen has become his former self."

Shen Ruojing was stunned and asked incredulously, "What do you mean?"

Jing Zhen spoke, "I erased all of his memories."

Shen Ruojing was shocked.

Jing Zhen continued, "Jingjing, this is the best way to protect all of us. Only the former leader of the Doom Organization knew about my secret, but he has passed away. So now, the only person in the world who knows my secret is Song Chen."

Shen Ruojing bit her lip and asked, "Where is he now?"

Jing Zhen led Shen Ruojing into the palace and came to a corner. He then opened a switch, and a secret room appeared.

Shen Ruojing entered the room and immediately saw Song Chen lying on the operating table.
