Jiang Xiao felt ignored by Director Fan until Meng Xinian introduced her as his wife. Director Fan then discussed a mysterious object he was researching, which he had given to Meng Xinian. He became angry upon learning that Dai Zhongwen had stolen some of his research materials.

"Correct."

"So where is he now?"

"We called the police and had him arrested."

"Good job. That guy seems like a loafer, deceiving several girls around the research institute. After he left, a few girls even came looking for him, saying he promised to date them and borrowed their money."

Director Fan was genuinely angry when he talked about Dai Zhongwen.

Jiang Xiao tugged at Meng Xinian’s sleeve.

"Uncle Fan, have you figured out what that crystal is yet?"

"It seems like a brainwave recorder, but being able to create something like this, with such a function, I have never heard of it. Little Xi, it’s not that I’m saying this, but if you hand this over somewhere else, no one might be able to figure it out."

"Besides the painting Dai Zhongwen did, Uncle Fan, have you drawn anything else?"

Drawn anything else?

Director Fan shook his head and said, "Why did I ask Dai Zhongwen to help with the drawing? Because he can draw, but I really can’t. I could only manage some sketches based on the data, but what I drew is like a child’s scribble. Also, this data is complex. Much of it is meaningless, and we still need to pick out the useful parts."

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle Fan, can you tell me how to draw it? Maybe I can do it."

"You?"

"Uncle Fan, she’s a painter."

"A painter?" Director Fan said, "Even if you’re a painter, you’d still need to see if you’re smart and perceptive enough. Otherwise, it won’t be of much use."

"I’ll give it a try." Having come all this way, Jiang Xiao felt she would be remiss not to try.

"If you want to try, go ahead, try this one."

Director Fan sifted through the papers and pulled out a sheet filled with dense data, then began explaining to Jiang Xiao how to interpret it.

Although Jiang Xiao was somewhat bewildered listening to it, she was smart enough to eventually draw a picture from it.

And at the sight of that picture, Jiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

Meng Xinian leaned in to look, exclaiming in surprise.

"Why does the person in this picture look familiar?" he murmured.

He didn’t recognize it, but Jiang Xiao had.

Familiar? It was him!

The person in the painting was Meng Xinian!

And it was Meng Xinian in a wheelchair!

There was something on his lap, and he was looking down at that thing.

Was this also a scene that had existed in Jiang Shiheng’s mind?

According to Director Fan, the clearer ones, with more detailed data, indicate they have appeared multiple times. So much data gets compiled to form such a clear image.

However, their idea of clear still falls short compared to ordinary paintings.

At least, in this painting, Meng Xinian’s face wasn’t very distinct, nor could one see what was on his lap.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao didn’t want to say much more.

She just tugged at Meng Xinian’s sleeve again.

Meng Xi immediately understood what she wanted to do.

"Uncle Fan, where is that crystal now?"

"I have it here, why?"

"Well, someone is very interested in this thing now, so leaving it here is too dangerous. I’m going to take it back, and the research will have to be halted for now," Meng Xinian said to Director Fan.
