Chapter 1448 - 1446: Suppression
In the lounge.
Yang Cao finally saw Ye Xin.
Upon seeing Ye Xin, Yang Cao seemed very agitated, "Miss! Are you okay? Did they do anything to you? If they dare do anything to you, I will definitely tell the master! We will make them pay for it!"
Ye Xin responded calmly, "I’m fine, work is more important!"
At this point, Nagakami Ueno and Sato Sanro limped their way in.
The two bowed respectfully, and someone brought in the meal.
"We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience you both had. You must be hungry, so we specially prepared a meal, hoping you’ll be satisfied," Nagakami Ueno said with a smile.
Sato Sanro stood silently aside, not daring to look at Ye Xin.
Ye Xin glanced at the meal and nodded slightly.
The food from Beihai Country was indeed exquisite, though slightly frugal for a banquet, and to Ye Xin, it seemed less substantial than a regular restaurant dish.
This, of course, was related to the geographical environment.
She did not rush to comment but glanced at Yang Cao.
Yang Cao immediately understood.
He walked to the meal, poked it with chopsticks, inspected it, and mumbled, "You people with ill intentions, have you poisoned the food? Or are you trying to add some parasites, so we become your test subjects?"
After speaking, Yang Cao glanced at the two.
Their expressions drastically changed.
Nagakami Ueno quickly replied, "How could it be! We would never do such a thing! You know very well that our company is deeply collaborating with yours, relying heavily on your technical support. We would never do anything like that!"
Ye Xin glanced at Sato Sanro blandly and said, "Some people are not to be trusted."
Sato Sanro hurriedly expressed, "Miss Sela, though I was disrespectful to you earlier, the misunderstanding is now cleared. I absolutely will not harbor any ill will towards you, and I will even take the lead in protecting your safety! I dare not have any inappropriate thoughts!"
Ye Xin snorted coldly and leaned back on the sofa, waiting for Yang Cao to inspect.
After Yang Cao inspected, he determined there was no issue. His understanding of poisons allows him to match the effect of a silver needle test.
Yang Cao put down the chopsticks, looked at the two, and said, "Since our young miss dared to accept this assignment and come to Beihai Country, and my master dared to send her, it’s clear they have confidence. You wouldn’t dare harm her! Even if you dared harm her, we are confident enough to make you... no, to make all of Beihai Country pay a significant price! Perhaps, by releasing modified parasites in places with the most Rejing people, given the division speed of these modified parasites, hmm... two days! At most two days, the entire Kyoto would fall! How’s that for a price?"
Nagakami Ueno and Sato Sanro sweated profusely.
They could well imagine how terrifying such a scene would be.
They’re confident enough to let those parasites out for testing because they can control them and suppress them in case of accidents.
"No way!" Nagakami Ueno quickly replied, "I would risk my life to ensure Miss Sela’s safety!"
Yang Cao merely smiled and ignored Nagakami Ueno, respectfully handing chopsticks to Ye Xin, "Miss, you may dine now."
Ye Xin nodded, extending her delicate hand to receive the chopsticks, preparing to eat.
Yang Cao glanced at the two with displeasure, "What? Still not leaving! Do you want to sit down and eat with us?"
"Yes! We’re leaving now!" Nagakami Ueno quickly nodded and bowed, "If you need anything, please feel free to contact me!"
Just as they were about to leave, Ye Xin spoke up, "I am very busy! Although I accepted your task this time, more out of curiosity about your research progress. So far, only Flame Country, Beihai Country, and us possess this original form. I am clear on our research progress. I am just curious about what you can develop. The origin of these things is Flame Country, but we know Flame Country’s technology well and they can’t produce useful results in a short time. So I chose to come here, but I now suddenly feel that no matter how good Beihai Country’s technology is, it requires our support, indicating that your technology is not that good, only slightly different. So I have more work to do and don’t want to waste much time here. If you have any requests, please quickly bring them to Dr. Byron. We have limited time. Once research is complete, we’ll leave immediately! Currently, I don’t want to stay here in Beihai Country at all."
Nagakami Ueno and Sato Sanro exchanged glances, feeling they had made mistakes. Without Dr. Byron’s full support, it seriously slowed the research progress, making them the culprits.
But now, they knew nothing they said would help; they could only remedy that later, making Miss Sela feel welcome and wanting to stay!
"Yes! We understand!" Nagakami Ueno and Sato Sanro bowed and retreated.
Once the two left the room, Yang Cao and Ye Xin exchanged a glance, communicated through their eyes, and each grabbed chopsticks to begin dining.
However, Yang Cao still seemed very reserved, like a servant.
Because they weren’t sure how many listening devices were installed here, how many surveillance devices existed.
If any flaw were accidentally revealed and seen, they’d be exposed.
After eating, Ye Xin wiped her mouth, stood up, "I am going to rest!"
"I will escort you!" Yang Cao immediately stood up.
Outside, they saw Nagakami Ueno wandering around.
Yang Cao immediately signaled for Nagakami Ueno to come over.
"Dr. Byron!" Nagakami Ueno feigned a smile.
Yang Cao said to Nagakami Ueno, "Follow me!"
The two followed Ye Xin to her bedroom.
Ye Xin didn’t move.
Yang Cao moved.
He started quickly searching the room, leaving no corner unchecked.
After a while, Yang Cao walked back and looked at Nagakami Ueno.
Nagakami Ueno already understood Yang Cao’s intention.
"Typically, a bodyguard accompanies the miss, but this operation was unique, so we didn’t bring one. Checking for surveillance equipment is not something I specialize in, or rather, I don’t understand it at all. But you must understand, our miss is the master’s most cherished young daughter; he definitely wouldn’t want any improper photos or videos exposed!" Yang Cao said coldly.
Nagakami Ueno immediately said, "I assure you, there is absolutely no listening or surveillance equipment here!"
"Then help check it thoroughly!" Yang Cao said coldly.
"Yes!" Nagakami Ueno dared not refuse, hastily agreeing.
