Chapter 127 - Nailing the coffin shut? (1)

The technical expert was very cooperative. He brought up a video of a mouse-drawing guru who had converted a peach into the face of an actress through photo-editing.

“See? You can even turn a peach into me. I’d venture to say that it’s even easier to convert another person to me. Doing that in 40 minutes is well within reasonable time.” Facing the camera, Xu WanZhi was calm and nonchalant. The reporters from the media couldn’t stay still anymore. They were here to mock her and waited for her to hang herself. Who’d have thought that she would have given them such a reasonable rebuttal?

Xu WanZhi waited quietly for others to lower their voices before she carried on. “From my understanding, Qin Sheng and Chen Jin were very career-oriented individuals who have outstanding achievements in their respective fields. One of them in the area of retina scan and the other in the entertainment circle. With the two of them being so busy at work all day long, I trust that they would not have the time to learn about photo editing. So my guess is that one of them had it prepared ahead of time and brought it with them to the hotel for the purpose of selling it to the other one for a large sum of money. Question now is: who is the seller and who is the buyer?”

Xu WanZhi paused there and gestured the technical expert. The audio recording began to play and the voices of Qin Sheng and Chen Jin echoed around the venue in 4D surround sound.

“Miss Chen is such a strategist, being able to make such a handsome amount with just a few photos.”

“You are funny, Mr. Qin. If you are okay with the price then check on the item, Mr. Qin. I will not interfere with how you are going to use these photos, Mr. Qin. You do with them what you want. All I ask… all I ask is for Mr. Qin to not share the source of these pictures.”

Xu WanZhi was very happy with the reaction of the melon-eating crowd beneath the stage. She smiled and said, “I think all of you know that Miss Chen and I have been old rivals and old friends for a while now. I am not surprised that she’d try to set me up with fake photos at all. But this one is truly a good move on her part. She didn’t even need to do the dirty deed herself and she was able to make a handsome amount at the same time.”

“Miss Xu.” One of the reporters couldn’t hold out anymore and stood up from the crowd. “Everything that you have just said only showed the source of these pictures and that they went from Chen Jin to Qin Sheng. You still aren’t able to prove whether the one in the picture is you. What you are doing right now is just trying to distract us.”

Xu WanZhi looked at his watch and looked over coldly. “It hasn’t even been 45 minutes yet since the start of this news conference. Sir, if you don’t even have this kind of patience, you are not going to produce any good articles. Why don’t you go back to grade school and work on your level of concentration, hmm?”

Her words brought about a round of laughter from the crowd.

The reporter sat back down and pretended to be jotting down something, looking awkward.

Xu WanZhi returned to what she was saying. “But since this gentleman had brought it out, then let’s do a little experience. I have five different retina scan software here in front of me. They were Cobra, designed by the Qin’s for Project Falcon; Northern Star developed by Huanyu; two other ones used by online banking system; and the one most commonly used for our cellphone payment system. Since this has very much to do with Mr. Qin, why don’t we start from his software and see if I am the person in the photo?”

The technical expert walked up to the stage with a tablet in hand, uploaded the photo to be used, and then turned on the camera and pointed it at Xu WanZhi.

Under a series of meticulous algorithm, the software quickly arrived at a conclusion – they were the same person.

Immediately the crowd became rowdy.
