Chapter 73 Trouble
When they returned to the villa, Jiang Yi and Luo Pingjing were already back.
Jiang Yi, her youthful face puffed out, was complaining to Dongfang Jin and Luo Mei about Chen Wanjun's unreasonable behavior.
Only after asking did I learn that Chen Wanjun completely broke down after hearing that He'an had been bombed.
Regardless of the circumstances, they concluded that the explosion at He'an was caused by them.
Jiang Yi never knew that the seemingly gentle and erudite female PhD could be so deadly when she said such harsh things!
Afterwards, I finally regained some of my senses.
She kept pestering Jiang Yi, asking him if he had seen a boy, or if he had turned into a zombie!
"A boy? What kind of boy?" Luo Mei asked curiously.
"who knows!"
Jiang Yi had just finished speaking angrily when Luo Pingjing continued, "After Xiao Yi left, Old Lin gave me a photo. Guess who I saw?"
As he spoke, he took out a well-preserved photo of the two of them from his pocket.
Luo Mei curiously peeked over to take a look.
At first, she didn't notice anything different about the people in the photos.
I just felt that the child standing next to Chen Wanjun in the photo looked very unwell!
But she soon realized something was wrong.
When I finally saw the face in the photo, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh?"
"Isn't that...that werewolf boy?"
Yu Yao and Jiang Yi lagged behind and went over to take a look. After seeing it, Jiang Yi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Huh? It really is him! What's his relationship with Chen Wanjun? How come there's a photo of them together?"
After the three of them had looked at the photo, Luo Pingjing handed it to Dongfang Jin so that the other three could see it.
He added, "Old Lin said the boy in the photo is named Chen Jingzhi."
Chen Jingzhi, Chen Wanjun's younger brother.
However, because he was born prematurely, he was born with congenital deficiencies and was weak and sickly from a young age, and he always seemed like he would never grow up.
Later, Chen Wanjun heard from somewhere that He An was researching a gene modification technology and was secretly looking for a group of test subjects.
The reward is that as long as the experiment is successful, the experimenters' genes will be modified immediately.
To give them bodies that are far stronger than those of normal people.
Fifteen-year-old Chen Jingzhi was sent to the research institute in He'an, where he stayed for four years.
"The reason why Chen Wanjun strongly urged us to go to He'an and insisted on going together was to find Chen Jingzhi."
After Luo Pingjing finished explaining, Jiang Yi suddenly realized, "No wonder she was acting like a madwoman, it turns out her younger brother is still inside..."
Dongfang Jin stared at the frail, pale boy in the photo.
Then, recalling how healthy and robust An looked in his file, she clicked her tongue.
"Now that the He'an Building has self-destructed, and the child and the snake-man have escaped, it's hard to guarantee they won't come back looking for their families. The matter of the research institute probably can't be kept secret for long."
Chi Heng paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It's alright, as long as no one knows for the time being that we have obtained He'an's information."
With the energy behind peace and harmony, there may be temporary chaos after the apocalypse, but the panic will not last long.
They will soon realize what's happening and rise rapidly.
If the people behind He'an find out that they've taken the data from the He'an Research Institute, it will definitely cause countless troubles!
After all, those documents contained many drug formulas for those with superpowers.
It is one of the most needed research topics at present, and it is easy for others to target it.
The group nodded in agreement, thinking that keeping a low profile for the time being would prevent any major problems in the short term.
Little did I expect that problems would arise that very night.
......
The dinner for the group consisted of a lavish hot pot with sesame oil.
It's said to be the king of late-night snacks in your province, with all sorts of ingredients and side dishes neatly arranged on the pot.
The hot oil and dipping sauce heated on top of the pot along with the ingredients is the soul of the dish.
Yu Yao had never eaten in a hot oil pan before, but that didn't stop her from being mesmerized by the aroma.
Who would have thought that we'd finally waited until mealtime?
I had just picked up my chopsticks when a sudden knock on the door interrupted my meal.
Yu Yao:(ー`?0?7ー)
You'd better be busy!
......
The visitors were Liao Jing and several unfamiliar superhumans.
When the door opened, Liao Jing and her group did not see the meal inside.
But that didn't stop them from smelling the overwhelming aroma of food inside the villa.
A fleeting hint of jealousy and hatred flashed in Liao Jing's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure in the next moment.
She looked at Dongfang Jin, who opened the door, and said, "This must be Mr. Dongfang, right? He's as handsome as the rumors say. My surname is Liao, and I'm Mayor Liao's daughter. I hope you don't mind me bothering you so late?"
Although it was a question, the tone was firm.
Dongfang Jin had a gut feeling that the visitor was up to no good, and calmly asked, "I don't mind, but I'm curious, what could be so important that Miss Liao would make such a big fuss about coming here all night?"
Liao Jing shifted her gaze, trying to see what was happening inside the villa through Dongfang Jin.
He grinned when he didn't get what he wanted.
"It's nothing serious, but some important items have been stolen from our safe zone. All the gates have been sealed off, and my father has sent people to search every house. I'm in charge of gathering and questioning all the space ability users in the safe zone. So, please come with us, Miss Yu."
It's clear that Liao Jing is trying hard to appear professional and businesslike.
But the undisguised malice in her eyes made Dongfang Jin gradually frown.
“Since Xiao Qi made the deal with you, she has never left this villa. You have the wrong person.”
Liao Jing chuckled.
"Mr. Dongfang, do you know how many times we've heard this kind of rhetoric along the way? You don't actually think I'll believe you just because you're saying this, do you?"
A cold glint flashed in Dongfang Jin's eyes as he slightly turned his body, revealing Chi Heng, who had lagged a few steps behind.
He stared at Liao Jing with a cold gaze, his tone chilling.
"You're taking Xiaoqi away?"
When Liao Jing saw Chi Heng, her smile unconsciously became more sincere and alluring, and her voice involuntarily became more husky.
"Yes, Mr. Chi."
Chi Heng ignored her series of small movements and expressions, looking at her with eyes as if she were a dead object, chillingly cold.
He slowly opened his mouth and coldly uttered only four words.
"try it yourself."
Liao Jing's smile vanished the moment Chi Heng uttered those words, replaced by annoyance.
"Mr. Chi, we just want Miss Yu to cooperate with our investigation. We won't do anything to her. You don't need to be so resistant, do you?"
As she spoke, Yu Yao, Luo Mei, and the others followed.
When there are many people, the entrance feels cramped and narrow.
Liao Jing had no choice but to step back and give up her spot at the entrance.
The seven people then went outside and closed the door.
Their positions naturally created a confrontation with Liao Jing and her group.
Seeing Yu Yao surrounded by several people, Liao Jing's eyes flashed with jealousy once again.
They decided to target Yu Yao and said to her, "Miss Yu, something very important has gone missing from the safe zone. We've been instructed to gather all the spatial ability users for questioning. Would you like to come with us?"
"What's missing?" Yu Yao asked.
"No comment."
Yu Yao scoffed softly, "Then I won't go."
Liao Jing frowned, her expression growing increasingly grim.
"Ms. Yu, you'd better cooperate with our work."
Luo Mei scoffed, "Who do you think you are, big sister? You expect A-Yao to go with you? What kind of world is this? You're still trying to act all high and mighty with us? Are you alright?"
Although Luo Mei's words were rough, they were indeed true.
In Liao Jing's view, Luo Mei's actions were undoubtedly a slap in her face, making her both angry and furious, and she lost the politeness she had shown when facing Chi Heng.
"You're Luo Mei?"
As she spoke, she continued to scan Luo Mei's entire body, scrutinizing her with an extremely critical and malicious gaze.
"No wonder the people in the safe zone say you're the tough girls no one dares to mess with. You really think you can take everyone seriously just because you have superpowers!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Mei couldn't help but chuckle, crossed her arms, and tilted her head back with a contemptuous look in her eyes.
"Yeah, what can you do about it?"
Her attitude completely enraged Liao Jing.
She was taken aback for a moment, then could no longer control her expression, glaring at Luo Mei with a slightly ferocious look.
"I know you're all powerful superhumans! But we people in the safe zone aren't pushovers either! Let's be honest, you're already surrounded. If you don't want to be blasted to smithereens, let Yu Yao come with me!"
Ironically, the area where Yu Yao and her group were located had already been thoroughly targeted by guns and cannons.
Among them was even a heavy thermal weapon that could only be used on the battlefield.
All the weapons came from the batch that Yu Yao had just sold to the military a few hours earlier!
However, irony aside.
This scene won't scare anyone.
Liao Jing watched as Jiang Yi glanced around with a hint of amusement, then casually crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe.
Qi Xian raised an eyebrow and gave a mocking smile.
Luo Pingjing watched the show quietly, while Mo Yu, perched on his shoulder, revealed a human-like disdain on her adorable kitten-like face.
Chi Heng calmly moved his feet, shielding Yu Yao behind him.
Only Dongfang Jin remained relatively mild-mannered, stepping forward to block Luo Mei while responding to Liao Jing.
His voice was clear and gentle, but his words were particularly harsh.
"Ms. Liao Jing, you don't actually think we're afraid of these things, do you?"
At this point, he chuckled lightly, with an undisguised hint of contempt.
"Just in case you don't understand, let me explain. What I mean is: your methods and approaches are really quite ordinary."
