She had fair skin, a flawless and charming face, and an excellent figure that exuded a refreshing aura, guaranteeing a 100% rate of turning heads.
She was definitely Mixed Blood! Xiao Qiang glanced over briefly, secretly concluding that the beautiful lawyer was indeed stunning.
“Hello, Fang Shanshan.”
“Xiao Qiang.”
“Um, is everything alright here?”
Xiao Qiang smiled shyly and replied subtly, “There’s nothing wrong; it’s not like I’m picky about conditions.”
Fang Shanshan nodded modestly and took out a stack of what appeared to be documents. “Here, take a good look at this. If there are no issues, we can start the process.”
“Alright.” Xiao Qiang made a polite gesture and joked, “Since you haven’t sat down, I wouldn’t dare to sit either.”
Fang Shanshan fixed her gaze on Xiao Qiang, smiling slightly as she elegantly took a seat. She extended her long fingers and handed him a pen. “Do you know how to sign?”
Xiao Qiang responded with a wry smile and shook his head. “I’ve never done this before.” His gaze lingered on her overly perfect cheek, and a strange thought flashed through his mind—could she be a perfect robot?
“Um, you just need to sign your name in this spot for the authorized person. I’ll take care of the rest,” Fang Shanshan noticed that Xiao Qiang seemed distracted and looked up in surprise. “Do you have any questions?”
Xiao Qiang couldn’t meet her eyes; those eyes… it must be an illusion! He took a deep breath, realizing he might be overly nervous.
With an unchanging smile playing at the corners of her lips, Fang Shanshan said, “Don’t be nervous. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask.” As she spoke, she was also curious about how this seemingly extraordinary person could be so…
“Alright.”
Fang Shanshan glanced at the signature and nodded. "Not bad. Next, let's communicate; please describe the events to me in detail."
"Okay." Xiao Qiang withdrew his gaze from the other person's cheek, his eyes becoming deep as he tried hard to recall the sequence of events.
He said, "After I got into the vice president's car, they told me their names. But when I fell into the river, those memories vanished in an instant. At the moment I woke up, my mind was blank; I couldn't remember Xiao Mei or the vice president."
Fang Shanshan's long fingers gripped the pen tightly, playing with it between her fingers while her expression showed she was listening intently to Xiao Qiang's account.
"The robot is NS-2?" she asked.
Xiao Qiang nodded. "Yes."
"NS-2 belongs to the old version of robots. Due to high global demand, Kabo Corporation has recently started producing the new second-generation NS-3 robots."
Xiao Qiang nodded again and said, "What I don't understand is that since robots are human-made, they should obey human commands. NS-2 refused to follow my instructions and did not save Xiao Mei. Although I know this is due to the Three Laws set by humans, having that ten percent life index was still a hope."
"This is beyond our control. Robots must adhere to the Three Laws from production to operation. This is an undeniable fact. If a robot violates the Three Laws, the consequence is being sent back for reprocessing and injected with Nanobots solution for destruction."
"The robot belongs to Kabo Corporation, right? Why did it ignore the vice president's vehicle?"
"Hmm, are you looking to accuse the robot? Historically, robots have no record of crimes or unethical behavior."
"...It's not about accusing; I just feel that there are flaws in how humans create robots. The Three Laws may not fully control robots. If there comes a day when the world is turned upside down because of robots..."
"Stop right there; you can't say that." Fang Shanshan squinted and gestured for Xiao Qiang to look above the three-dimensional stainless steel wall. "Don't turn around; continue communicating normally and avoid sensitive topics."
Xiao Qiang, who had just been about to turn around, froze for a moment. "What?"
"Let's continue with the normal topic."
"Alright!"
"The vice president and I are strangers. What motive do I have to kill him?"
"Don't be so insecure. They haven't concluded that you're the murderer of the vice president; right now, you're just a suspect. Your identity and background raise questions that people find hard to understand."
Xiao Qiang forced a bitter smile and nodded helplessly.
"Can you trust me?" Fang Shanshan looked at him with sincere eyes, her tone inquiring. "If you trust me, then be honest and tell me everything. That way, I can do my best to help you."
The request seemed simple, but how could he explain? Xiao Qiang broke into a cold sweat, remaining silent.
"Sigh!" Fang Shanshan sighed, tidying up the prepared documents for signing. "There's still plenty of time. Why don't you think it over and get back to me?"
Xiao Qiang gave a half-smile as he looked at the lawyer preparing to leave. Suddenly, he spoke with determination, "Before I tell you the truth, can you answer one question for me?"
Fang Shanshan raised an eyebrow and replied, "No problem, as long as it's within my ability."
"Are you Mixed Blood?"
"..." Fang Shanshan was taken aback. "That question seems unrelated to this case, doesn't it?"
Xiao Qiang's confident gaze pressed on as he insisted, "Consider it my personal curiosity. Is that okay?"
"Alright, I am Mixed Blood. My mother is French, and my father is Chinese. Is that enough?"
Xiao Qiang smiled broadly and said, "Satisfied? Sit down, and I'll tell you the whole story." As he opened up the topic, Fang Shanshan was astonished. At that moment, her eyes widened, and she stared at Xiao Qiang without moving. It was as if she wanted to discern from his face whether he was fabricating this mythical tale of time travel. Seeing that he spoke clearly and earnestly, she couldn't bring herself to interrupt him. Instead, she silently became a loyal listener, absorbing his story until the end.
"Well, that's my story. I hope you can keep it a secret."
"You..." Fang Shanshan hesitated, her expression complex and her demeanor flickering. It was evident that she was struggling internally. How much truth was there in what he said? If he were making it all up and she believed him, her reputation could be ruined in an instant.
She leaned forward slightly, offering an apologetic smile. "Your story is very touching; I resonate with it deeply. However, I need some time to process it."
"To put it bluntly, you still don't believe me," Xiao Qiang said with a hint of frustration.
"Well... your girlfriend is in 2050? And you're currently in 2040? Honestly, it's not that I don't believe you; it's just that when you say something like that, who would really believe it?"
Xiao Qiang nodded. "Of course, except for those Frankenstein types..."
"Exactly. As for time travel, there have been precedents. But those who traveled through time never returned to their original positions. It's like death; some say there’s a soul after death, but who would want to try it? No one, right?"
Fang Shanshan's words held some truth, and Xiao Qiang could only silently lament his situation.
