Chapter 349: 349 Lie Detector (Third Update)

After all, her face had gone under the knife.

Leaving behind some scars, deep or shallow.

Without knowing, in her bare-faced state, could the Rejuvenation Pill of Madame Chu help her conceal those marks?

Now, all she could do was take a gamble.

If she won, she would firmly establish herself in Capital City, and thereafter, no one would dare doubt her again, a future bright and promising.

If she lost, all her efforts would be wasted, and she would become an outcast, shunned and vilified by all.

The stakes of this bet were far too high.

She couldn’t afford to lose, yet she had no choice but to gamble.

In life, there is no right or wrong, only choices.

Since she had chosen this point of no return, she would be sure to see it through to the end.

Seeing the full confidence in Li Mi, it was obvious she was well prepared.

Moreover, if she wasn’t guessing wrong, Song Shiqin must also be hiding among the crowd.

Thinking of what Madame Chu had said to her.

Chu Jin’s eyes darkened slightly.

Since that was the case, she would use this opportunity to ensure Li Mi would never have the chance to turn things around.

Li Mi looked at Chu Jin, her eyes narrowing slightly, "What’s wrong? Afraid to remove your makeup?"

A doctor’s gaze is the most analytical, seeming to penetrate skin and flesh, seeing directly into the depths of one’s heart.

Chu Jin subconsciously avoided Li Mi’s scrutinizing gaze.

"Miss, please do not talk nonsense!" Wang Kai stepped forward to shield Chu Jin behind him.

Wang Kai was naturally tall and leggy, and although he was young, he did not lose any presence in front of Li Mi.

There was a reason he was the heartthrob of South Bridge.

The corners of Li Mi’s mouth revealed a slight curve, "Whether I’m talking nonsense or not will be clear once she removes her makeup."

Chu Jin stood up straight, looking at Li Mi with a cold voice, "You are insulting my integrity!"

Li Mi replied with some disdain, "Integrity? You lost that long ago."

Clap clap clap.

Li Mi clapped her hands.

Immediately after, two people carrying a wooden box came in from outside.

"Miss." The two respectfully placed the wooden box beside Li Mi.

Seeing this, a look of curiosity appeared in everyone’s eyes.

Everyone was wondering what on earth was inside the wooden box.

Li Mi looked at Chu Jin, her mouth curving slightly, "What’s in this box is a top international lie detector, do you dare to try it?"

Upon finishing her speech, professional personnel immediately opened the box and began assembling the lie detection device.

Sure enough, just as she had expected, Li Mi had come fully prepared.

Madame Chu had foreseen this day long ago, so she had learned about the principles of lie detectors from professionals back in the Goryeo Nation.

In truth, lie detectors are not as miraculous as people think.

They determine whether a person is lying based on changes in pulse, breathing, and skin resistance.

In front of someone with strong psychological resilience, a lie detector is nothing more than child’s play.

It can only fool those inexperienced swindlers.

If it were truly that powerful, it would have been widely in use already.

The police wouldn’t have to go to so much trouble when interrogating criminals.

Li Mi’s action was nothing more than an attempt to cause her psychological stress.

Too bad.

This time, she was going to miscalculate.

How could she possibly be afraid of a mere machine?

Chu Jin flashed a confident smile, stood tall beside Li Mi, "Innocent people do not fear a knock on their door at midnight. Why wouldn’t I dare? As for Miss Li, you are damaging my reputation without cause. If you cannot provide a sound reason today, prepare to receive a letter from my lawyer!"

This was the way Chu Jin should act.

To never let anyone who crosses her get away with it.

"So confident?" Li Mi’s eyes narrowed as she pointed to a stool beside her, "Then please, take a seat."

Chu Jin stood opposite everyone, with only Wang Kai at her back, appearing somewhat isolated.

Even from a distance, she was still very much conspicuous among the crowd.

Song Shiqin, cloaked in plainclothes, blended into the crowd, his usually stern features now softening a bit.

His wild and unruly demeanor stood out amongst the group of students, attracting fervent glances from many of the female classmates.

"...Beep! Data read complete," the cold voice of the machine announced in a standard electronic tone.

Chu Jin sat in front of the machine, her expression unchanged.

The lie detector was similar to a sensor used for electrocardiographs in hospitals, connected to a laptop.

"Is the sky blue?"

"Yes."

(The answer was truthful.)

...

After asking a few irrelevant questions to ensure the machine was working properly, the real interrogation began.

"You are not Chu Jin! Tell me, what are you planning by surgically altering yourself to look like Chu Jin?" Li Mi’s anger over the matter was evident, and every word she spoke was incisive and piercing, chilling people to the bone.

The cafeteria, previously somewhat bustling, was now dead silent.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Chu Jin’s answer.

Chu Jin looked composed and did not show any sign of panic in the face of Li Mi’s scrutinizing gaze because she knew that her success hinged on this moment.

Looking at Li Mi, she answered one word at a time, "I am Chu Jin."
