Chapter 3, her name is Zhongli Jin
Chu Zhenting did not speak, but she was likely someone born to create sounds, as her shifting bottom made the chair creak. Zhou Yanmo took a deep breath, stopped writing, gently tapped the table, and looked at Chu Zhenting, "Is your bottom itchy?"
Shang Han suddenly turned around and left
Zhong Li Jin squatted in the corner, hugging her knees, her face deeply buried in them. Her long, slightly curled black hair almost enveloped her entire body, making her appear even more delicate and fragile, like glass that would shatter with the slightest pressure
Then ...? ... How would Chu Zhenting know? Chu Zhenting scratched her cheek and said, "I don't know"
As soon as Shang Han lowered his head, he sent out a message, and the dungeon fell silent once again
Zhou Yanmo wanted to ask, the office door was opened, and Shang Hanzhi walked in. Chu Zhenting immediately jumped up like a soldier meeting a general, standing straight and saying, "Doctor's degree!"
Of course, it was called incorrectly. That woman is named Zhongli Jin, with the surname Zhongli and the given name Jin
Do you call her 'Li Jin'?
Zhen Ting Chu sat uneasily in her chair, shifting her weight restlessly as if sitting on pins and needles, while in front of her, Yan Mo Zhou was engrossed in his own tasks.
Zhou Yanmo rubbed his brow, resigning himself to fate
Zhong Li Jin hugged her knees, her eyes flickering at the words, as something deep within quietly lit up, obediently responding: "In the women's restroom at the airport, I woke up to find that I had lost my previous memories. I did not feel any discomfort."
Her name is Zhongli Jin
Chu Zhenting sat down awkwardly
... ... Hmm. She was trembling all over from the cold, her voice cracking with a sob, resembling a child full of grievances
My package. However, I do not have a phone or any form of identification
What do you call Zhongli Jin?
Under normal circumstances, Chu Zhenting would have been unable to contain her excitement, asking questions left and right about this and that. It is important to note that in the team led by Shang Hanzhi, there is not a single scientist who is not a well-known and accomplished figure in the field, young and talented. However, the current situation is that she was inexplicably detained for several hours and then brought to this office, with the orders coming from the scientist she admires the most, Zdoctor's degree. Moreover, she is also worried about her new friend she met today, wondering how they are doing. It is quite distressing! But given the current circumstances, she was inexplicably detained for several hours and then brought to this office, with the orders coming from the scientist she admires the most, Zdoctor's degree. Additionally, she is concerned about her new friend she met today, not knowing how they are faring. There is no time for idle chatter!
Chu Zhenting was taken aback and replied blankly: "Li, Li Jin."
Zhen Ting Chu anxiously spoke up: "Doctor's degree, I am here for an interview, mhetushucom, I passed the written test for the medical research department..." If she hadn't been inexplicably locked up, she wouldn't have missed the interview!
"Why do you remember me?" he suddenly asked after a two-second silence
Shang Hanzhi did not pay attention to Zhou Yanmo, standing silently in place for a moment, and said softly: "Send this young lady back."
Shang Han turned around and went out, saying, "Words and silence are to be handled."
Why should it be corrected? Did I call it wrong?
Shang Han's fingers suddenly stiffened and twitched, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He then scrutinized her entire body, fixating intently on her face, "Zhong Li Jin."
... on that bus
If Zhongli Jin had not lost her memory, how could she appear in this manner? Shang Hanzhi thought, but she has always been good at acting, so how could he easily believe her? Perhaps this is yet another of her schemes? No, no, whether her amnesia is real or not, what does it have to do with him?
Perhaps due to Shang Hanzhi's brutal methods, an increasing number of assassins and mercenaries are reluctant to take on jobs related to COT. They all perceive Shang Hanzhi as a pervert, a pervert devoid of any human emotions, believing that falling into his hands makes death preferable to life.
Like an infant just born into this world, carrying a blank slate and fragility, it appeared before him without any warning
So far this year, the dungeon has remained empty until today, when Zhongli Jin was imprisoned.
She has never corrected it
Zhen Ting Chu nodded
Zhong Li Jin stood in place, one hand embracing the other arm, feeling somewhat at a loss
He is very clear about how important this name is to her. In the past, even if a complete stranger mistakenly called her by the wrong name, she would correct them, tirelessly and without annoyance. ... But now, she actually allows Chu Zhenting to call her Li Jin, could it be ...? ... But how could that be possible?
"Boss, do you know her?" Zhou Yanmo looked at Shang Hanzhi with curiosity. Although Shang Hanzhi had completed every task today with the precision of a flawless machine, appearing no different from usual, Zhou Yanmo still sensed that something was slightly off.
What happened next? After Zhu Zhenting and Zhong Li Jin were ordered to be locked up by Shang Han, the members of the information department immediately began an investigation into them. The result showed that Zhu Zhenting had a "clean family background," but they found absolutely no information on the one named Zhong Li Jin. This certainly warrants attention. It is important to note that they are part of COT.
Waking up with eyes wide open, forgetting everything, including what her own feelings are like, is a terrifying and unsettling experience, akin to being trapped in an absurd and bizarre nightmare. She instinctively seeks even the slightest presence of someone who can provide her with a sense of security, yet this person offers her no kindness whatsoever
The COT Research Institute has a very sturdy dungeon, used to imprison those who intrude into COT with the intent to steal secrets or assassinate Zdoctor's degree or other scientists, including mercenaries and killers. This dungeon sees a considerable number of occupants each year, who are soon dealt with. Typically, they are subjected to certain live experiments by Shang Han, possibly tortured to the point of losing their human form yet unable to die, or forced to watch themselves being disemboweled while still remaining alive.

Chu Zhenting immediately looked towards Zhou Yanmo
Where is the bag
According to Shang Hanzhi, such individuals have long been stained with blood for the sake of wealth, and their deaths go unnoticed; no government will support them. Now, he offers them the opportunity to become great individuals, to sacrifice themselves for all of humanity, and to benefit humankind.
There is nothing on the body
Shang Hanzhi's face was expressionless, yet his fingers stiffly curled slightly. Apart from the time when Zhong Li Jin's parents had an accident years ago, he had never seen such a Zhong Li Jin. She always relied on her beauty, astonishing talent, and innate gifts, being flamboyant and arrogant, acting recklessly. It was always her bullying others, never had anyone been able to bully her even a little.
Zhou Yanmo stared at her, thought of something, and asked: "What kind of person is that friend of yours?"
The staircase was both narrow and long, damp and chilly. The sound of leather shoes striking the cement slabs echoed with a crisp and slow rhythm. As Shang Hanzhi descended the stairs, his pace slowed as he approached the cell. He quickly became aware of his actions and immediately quickened his steps, soon catching sight of the scene within the cell.
He never imagined that, after eight years, when they met again, she would look like this
Zhong Li Jin heard the sound and slowly raised her head to look at him. Among her disheveled hair, her beautiful peach blossom eyes had a hint of redness at the corners, and her dark eyes seemed to be veiled by a thin layer of water.
Where are you when you wake up? Is there any discomfort in your head or body? he asked, his voice cold and devoid of any emotional fluctuation, like a machine. However, he thought to himself, no, he should not have asked that.
