Chapter 1431 - 1429: Departure
Yang Chen smiled slightly and nodded at him.
Ye Xin’s phoenix eyes were full of tenderness, she looked deeply at Yang Chen and turned to go upstairs.
After Ye Xin left, Yang Chen looked at Dongzi and said in a low voice, "Protect her well!"
Dongzi hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something, but still nodded.
Because he knew very well that he was no match for Ye Xin, let alone able to protect her. If Ye Xin were really in danger, he would be of no use.
But since Yang Chen had instructed, he needed to carry it out. Even if it meant risking his life, he had to ensure Ye Xin’s safety!
...
Yagaki Shuntaro rushed out of the community almost like a madman.
Not caring about his filthy appearance, he flagged down a taxi and jumped in, yelling at the driver, "Drive! Drive now! To the Four Spirits Hall headquarters! Immediately!"
The driver was startled by Yagaki Shuntaro’s appearance and stammered, "Um... Have you encountered something? I can..."
"Drive! Drive now!" Yagaki Shuntaro’s face twisted, and he looked as though he might bite someone.
The driver jumped in shock and hurriedly started the car.
"Do you need me to call the police?" the driver asked.
"No! No police! Absolutely no police!" shouted Yagaki Shuntaro, glaring at the driver. "If you dare call the police, I’ll kill you!"
The driver shivered in fear, too scared to say anything more.
Yagaki Shuntaro leaned back in the rear seat, panting heavily, feeling a dizzy spell.
He had been tied up for too long, and with mental exhaustion and having eaten little, he was very weak.
His eyes were red, fixated on the watch on his wrist, watching the second hand tick by, feeling his life slipping away.
After a while, he saw the driver glance at him repeatedly, hesitating to speak, and frowned, asking, "Hey! What are you looking at? Believe me, I’ll kill you! Just drive quietly, or else I’ll kill you right now! I know how to drive myself!"
At that moment, the true nature of his viciousness emerged.
The driver jumped in shock and quickly said, "No, no, no! I wouldn’t dare pull any tricks, but I wanted to ask, exactly where is the Four Spirits Hall headquarters?"
Yagaki Shuntaro’s face immediately turned extremely unpleasant, feeling as though he’d swallowed a fly, clenched his fist, and said coldly, "In Ota District, Ben Mountain Temple!"
"Ben Mountain Temple? Isn’t that..."
"Shut up! Just go where I tell you, stop with the nonsense, or I’ll really kill you!" Yagaki Shuntaro snapped.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The driver dared not argue, immediately adjusting the route to head to Ben Mountain Temple.
...
Ogi Racetrack Villa Community.
Yang Cao and Ye Xin had both finished their makeup and dressed up.
Yang Cao’s outfit was a standard Northern Federation citizen look.
White skin, tall stature, and a white shirt, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, exhibiting a scholarly aura.
He blinked at Yang Chen and said, "I’ve always hoped to work like a real researcher."
Yang Chen smiled and replied, "You will. That day is not far."
Yang Cao chuckled, saying nothing more.
Yang Chen’s gaze turned to Ye Xin.
Ye Xin’s shoes were raised by a few centimeters, her hair pulled into a long, straight style and tied into a ponytail, looking neat and efficient.
Her makeup covered her skin to appear slightly darker, giving the impression of a Southeast Continent Sela descendant, with a healthy, wheat-toned complexion.
Despite intentionally dressing down a bit, Ye Xin’s exceptional beauty couldn’t be entirely disguised, her red gown incredibly alluring.
Yang Chen nodded satisfactorily at their disguises.
He looked at the two, speaking in a low tone, "Remember! From today you’re Dr. Byron, and you’re Sela! You’re scientists from Kaimerun Biotechnology Co., Ltd., from the Joint Biological Research Laboratory, remember?"
"Understood!" Yang Cao replied firmly, "I’m a top scientist from Kaimerun Biotechnology Co., Ltd., dispatched from the Joint Biological Research Laboratory, an expert professor assisting in the Bei Hai Country Fuyuan Mountain Laboratory’s parasitic experiment research, with the authority to request withdrawal at any time!"
Yang Chen nodded slightly, having arranged Yang Cao’s identity precisely.
Ye Xin said, "I’m the senior director from Kaimerun Biotechnology Co., Ltd., also the youngest daughter of Kaimerun’s president, Sela. The purpose of my visit is to understand the research progress at Fuyuan Mountain and demand they disclose research data to Kaimerun Biotechnology Co., Ltd., speeding up the research process!"
"Right!" Yang Chen nodded, stood up, and said to the two, "Yang Cao, you can set off now; someone will take you there!"
"Got it!" Yang Cao quickly picked up his backpack and left.
Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin, "You need to wait a little longer. Leave an hour after Yang Cao departs!"
"Understood!" Ye Xin nodded slightly, appearing extremely calm, sitting on the sofa, contemplating quietly.
Once she entered this state, Ye Xin would set aside her playful nature, becoming extremely composed, exuding an imposing aura that was hard to ignore.
Ye Xin was very strong, so strong that her capabilities were difficult to decipher, even by Yang Chen.
At least Yang Chen could be certain that this renowned spy queen, Fire Phoenix, was definitely on par, if not above, in strength compared to the Dragon Tooth Squad’s former War God, Dragon King.
Watching Ye Xin get into state, Yang Chen felt somewhat reassured.
An hour passed quickly.
Ye Xin stood up, picked up her briefcase.
She glanced outside the window, "The car is here!"
Yang Chen nodded slightly, hesitated, and then said in a low voice, "Be careful with everything!"
Ye Xin looked deeply at Yang Chen, not leaving.
After a good while, Ye Xin said, "Pick me up when I complete the mission!"
"Alright!" Yang Chen nodded in agreement.
"I won’t leave without you!" Ye Xin added.
Yang Chen smiled, very assuredly saying, "Rest assured! Once you complete the task, I will certainly come to pick you up!"
"Good! You said it!" Only then did Ye Xin toss her ponytail, twist her waist, carrying her fiery silhouette out.
Ye Xin also left.
The house was left with just him.
Yang Chen closed his eyes to rest, the whole room silent and frighteningly quiet.
Another hour.
A dark figure appeared behind Yang Chen.
"Boss!"
Yang Chen slowly opened his eyes and said softly, "Sit down!"
The person walked opposite Yang Chen and sat down.
It was Night Fire.
"Everything’s ready!" Night Fire said in a low voice.
"Who’s going?" Yang Chen asked.
"Gao Hong!" Night Fire replied.
Yang Chen frowned slightly.
Night Fire quickly said, "Although Gao Hong isn’t very capable, he certainly has the talent for setting fires and illuminating the scene."
Yang Chen thought for a moment and nodded.
"Tonight is going to be a big battle! Are you ready?" Yang Chen asked.
"I’ve been ready for a long time!" Night Fire’s eyes gleamed with excitement, "That rascal Iron Face has already burned three beds!"
Hearing this, Yang Chen laughed too, scolding with a laugh, "You three idiots, what have you been up to!"
