Qin Siyang kept feeling that the discrepancy between what had happened before and afterward was too baffling.
Even if the mastermind behind it wielded immense power, they should not have been able to pull it off so flawlessly. Only rewritten memories seemed to explain it.
The moment rewriting memories came up, Qin Siyang naturally thought of Guo Jiuxiao.
"Principal Zhao, do you think Guo Jiuxiao might have had a hand in this?"
"You mean Guo Jiuxiao rewrote these people's memories?"
"Yes."
"These troublemakers will definitely undergo rigorous scrutiny afterward, including memory scans. No matter how exceptional Guo Jiuxiao's memory-rewriting ability is, he couldn't evade the detection devices Zhong Dingming and Guan Fuhai developed. Unless..."
"Unless Guo Jiuxiao set things up long ago, so their rewritten memories have already merged completely with their real ones?" Qin Siyang immediately cut in.
Zhao Longfei's eyes flashed. "How do you even know that traces of rewritten memories gradually fade? Oh, right, Professor Zhang is an expert in this field too. Exactly. If Guo Jiuxiao really rewrote their memories, he would have had to start laying the groundwork at least a year or two ago."
"Leaving aside whether Guo Jiuxiao had the time and energy for this, he's a professor who dislikes socializing and focuses on research. How would he know whose memories to rewrite in Zone 5 to cause the biggest uproar?"
Qin Siyang frowned in thought. "What if someone behind the scenes guided him and cleared the way for him?"
Zhao Longfei smiled. "That would make it somewhat possible. But Guo Jiuxiao has no interests tied to Zone 5."
"As long as the person guiding Guo Jiuxiao had interests tied to Zone 5 and offered him terms he couldn't refuse, he would naturally do it."
Zhao Longfei nodded. "Was it really Guo Jiuxiao...?
