The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 190: Li Ying's True Character


Seeing Lin Jiaxuan and Lin Zhiyan already entering the abandoned building, Gong Kaishan couldn't hold back any longer and immediately agreed, "We promise to keep it confidential."

Li Ying glanced at her and added, "The premise is that the information you provide cannot harm our country's interests or pose a threat to the safety of our citizens' lives and property."

Xiao Feng agreed, then briefly mentioned Lin Jiaxuan's situation and his own speculations.

After a while, Li Ying frowned and said, "Are you saying that little girl doesn't seem as young as she appears, she has dwarfism, so she came here to buy medicine?"

Xiao Feng pondered, "That's just one possibility. There are some aspects worth considering; if it were merely to test whether the experimental drug is effective, there would be no need for so many people to come, nor to be so stealthy."

"I also think those foreigners must have other motives." Li Ying touched her smooth chin and thoughtfully said, "But what are they scheming about?"

"I think no matter how much we speculate, it's useless. Right now, the most important thing is to figure out a way inside," Gong Kaishan said solemnly, "At this moment, we must seize every second; a bit of delay may mean missing crucial intel."

"That's not a concern. I'm quite familiar with Lin Jiaxuan; she shouldn't hide anything from me." Xiao Feng shook his head slowly, not because he was confident in himself, but because he trusted the little girl.

If the little girl steps in, even if Lin Jiaxuan doesn't speak, at least she wouldn't deliberately provide false information to mislead the investigation.

In fact, there are many ways to deal with micro-cameras, besides the simplest violent destruction, signal interference can also render the opponent blind. The key is how to resolve this issue without arousing suspicion; that's the tricky part.

At this moment, Xiao Feng regretted not bringing Lu Yao over; if she were present, it would indeed be effortless.

"Why not dig from underground?" Gong Kaishan suggested desperately.

Xiao Feng and Li Ying looked at Gong Kaishan as if seeing an idiot; digging from underground, this guy really dares to think.

"It seems, there's only one option right now." Xiao Feng sighed and said.

Gong Kaishan asked excitedly, "What way?"

"You two stay here; I'll go in myself."

With that, Xiao Feng bent one leg slightly, squinted his eyes, and darted out like lightning, disappearing from the spot almost in the blink of an eye.

Gong Kaishan and Li Ying exchanged glances, both showing an expression of disbelief. To explode at such speed without a running start, is this guy still human?

A few minutes later, Li Ying glanced at the time, "It's been five minutes, there's no disturbance yet, seems he hasn't been detected, stay put."

Gong Kaishan widened his eyes, "You wouldn't be..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Ying start to step back, then grit her teeth, gather strength in her legs, and rushed towards the abandoned building like a gale.

She couldn't escape the micro-camera's capture without a running start, but that didn't mean she couldn't explode at an extreme speed.

"..." Gong Kaishan hesitated for a long time, ultimately not daring to take the risk; now Xiao Feng and Li Ying have infiltrated one after another, he doesn't want, nor can he afford to, cause the mission to fail due to a mistake.

Of course, it hurt his pride inevitably. Gong Kaishan could only wait patiently while giving himself psychological comfort.

...

Inside the abandoned building, Lin Zhiyan led Lin Jiaxuan upstairs to the third floor, expressionless saying, "I've prepared the money; where's the new drug you've developed?"

A man in a leather jacket with a hooked nose patted the suitcase in his hand, "It's here; our cooperation isn't just a day or two; no need to worry that we'll take the money without delivering."

Lin Zhiyan chuckled mockingly, "Indeed, our cooperation time isn't short, I've given at least seven or eight hundred million for research funds, this is your third version of the drug, hope it works this time."

The hooked nose sneered, "Rest assured, this time the drug has passed clinical trials, it's hundred percent effective, transfer the money first."

"No!" Lin Zhiyan shook her head decisively, "This time, I want to see results; if there's still no effect, our cooperation ends here."

"Damn it, you don't appreciate our kindness, do you?" A white man cursed angrily, "We've told you it's absolutely effective, why aren't you assured?"

Lin Zhiyan remained firm, "Since it's absolutely effective, then wait until I see the results, not a penny will be missing to you. Besides, you have so many people, aren't you afraid of us two weak women?"

In fact, using the drug before payment was strongly demanded by Lin Jiaxuan; she didn't want to continue wasting money.

In her view, even if the money were given to Xiao Feng, it would be better than giving it to foreigners!

If the drug works, that's great, but if it doesn't, at least such a large amount of money won't be wasted.

To be blunt, the sisters are really scared of being tricked once more!

On the second-floor platform, Li Ying patted Xiao Feng's shoulder and asked in lip language, "What are those foreigners saying?"

She wasn't sure if Xiao Feng could read lip language, but if lip language didn't work, she could use sign language, or take out a notebook to write; although lip language is relatively convenient.

Xiao Feng blinked, then replied in lip language, "Lip language is so hard, and you know how to do it, but you don't know English?"

Li Ying's face blushed as if she felt embarrassed, saying, "I'm learning it now, they speak too fast, I only heard something about drugs?"

"If you don't understand, why did you come in?" Xiao Feng frowned, using lip language, "Don't mess things up, alright?"

Just as his words fell, he felt his neck being grabbed, Li Ying directly locked Xiao Feng's neck, almost face to face, using lip language, "Translate what those foreigners are saying quickly, or don't blame me for getting rude."

Actually, the force with which Li Ying locked Xiao Feng's neck wasn't strong, at least breathing wasn't hard; it's just that their faces are practically touching, which made the distance somewhat dangerous.

Feeling the warm breath hitting his face, Xiao Feng couldn't help but blush, wasn't this girl supposed to be the cool type?

Why the heck did she suddenly become so bold?

Little did he know, Li Ying indeed comes across as very cold to strangers, but with familiar people, she's not so polite, especially those she's close to, almost nobody treats her as a woman.

This isn't disparaging Li Ying; her personality is always unconventional; in her view, there's no concept of gender separation, to put it simply, if she clicks with someone, they'd be heart-and-soul friends.

And in Li Ying's view, her relationship with Xiao Feng goes beyond mere friendship; now they're comrades sharing the same trench, no need to pretend or act overly polite.

"Can you... let go of me first?" Xiao Feng used lip language to say difficultly, his eyes inadvertently glanced downward twice, suddenly feeling the urge to have a nosebleed.

Usually, mixed-race individuals seem to have a natural advantage in terms of physique, and Li Ying is exemplary among them; what should be large doesn't skimp, what should be small isn't excessive, perfectly proportioned!

Were it not for urgent matters at hand, Xiao Feng wouldn't mind her holding him like this; even a kiss would be fine, given her looks, he wouldn't feel he's losing out either.

But now clearly isn't the time for such thoughts; he could only agree to Li Ying's demand, translating the conversation between the foreigners and Lin Jiaxuan and Lin Zhiyan for her.

During the time Xiao Feng was held by Li Ying, the hooked nose changed the conditions several times consecutively, yet Lin Zhiyan showed no intention of compromise, finally gritting his teeth, "Fine, use the drug first."

With that, he opened the safe in his hand, turned around, and extracted the syringe to draw the transparent drug.

Lin Zhiyan and Lin Jiaxuan exchanged glances, both holding some expectation; they had been waiting for this day for too long.

However, neither Lin Zhiyan nor Lin Jiaxuan realized the front of the figure, bearing a cold smile on his face.

"Now is the time to witness a miracle." The hooked nose snapped back to reality, the cold smile on his face had vanished, then waved to Lin Jiaxuan, "Come here."
