Chapter 898: Chapter 898
"Here I come, I actually set out early, but there was a traffic jam today." Qin Lingyan complained, "A kid was messing around on a hoverboard, almost caused a series of car accidents."
"I was eating instant noodles at the time, and it splattered all over my face."
Sure enough, those alchemical drugs caused significant damage to Sinai’s nervous system.
Sinai’s personality is vastly different when her body is normal from when she’s shrunk down.
She only temporarily helped suppress some of Sinai’s adverse after-effects, not eradicate them.
Ying Zijin planned to throw Sinai to Norton as soon as possible, let him make an antidote.
"There are no more instant noodles for now." Ying Zijin nodded slightly towards him, "There are drinks in the mini fridge, feel free to take them."
"Well, alright." Qin Lingyan scratched his head, muttering, "I’ll restrain myself."
Their conversation was casual, just like chatting at home.
The entire laboratory was quiet, even the sound of breathing was nearly gone.
Even Ye Siqing was staring blankly at Qin Lingyan sitting down boldly, placing the computer on the table.
"You’re the senior sister of the big boss lady, right?" Qin Lingyan waved his hand, "No need to be polite, I’ll help you with the later code, I’m idle and have nothing to do anyway."
"When the spaceship test flight happens, just take me along."
In his life so far, he hadn’t visited any other planets.
Going to Mars would be fine too.
Ye Siqing was still stunned, her soul seemed to have floated away: "Huh? Oh oh..."
This experimental project didn’t prohibit seeking external assistance, but the core power unit must be completed by the team members.
For the subsequent flight code, it was fine to ask for help from the students of the Computer Science Academy.
But compared to the students of the Computer Science Academy, the elite hackers of the Hacker Alliance are on another level.
Not to mention, he was already designated the Young Master by the Leader of the Hacker Alliance, destined to inherit the entire Hacker Alliance in the future.
Xu Jingshan was always keen on joining Group A because they had connections to an A-level researcher at the Computer Science Academy through Bier.
Group B could at best get ordinary students.
The technical gap was quite significant.
Xu Jingshan thought that by leaving, Group B wouldn’t be able to complete the subsequent code, and he found this quite satisfying.
But the Young Master of the Hacker Alliance?!
Wasn’t it Instructor Mo Feng and Miss Bier who went to discuss business with the Hacker Alliance that day?
How did Ying Zijin know Qin Lingyan, and so well too?!
Seeing the familiar exchange between Qin Lingyan and Ying Zijin, Bier lightly pressed her lips, momentarily bewildered.
That day, she indeed didn’t see Qin Lingyan, but only the Leader of the Hacker Alliance.
The Leader of the Hacker Alliance was an unpredictable old man, and the deal was finally settled by Qin Lingyan’s steward Qian Jun.
Bier looked at the girl, her eyes darkened a bit, her nails digging into her palm, her voice extremely cold: "What are you dazing about, let’s go."
Xu Jingshan didn’t dare to say a word more.
He followed behind sheepishly, his face burning with shame.
Thinking back on how he had confidently said Qin Lingyan must be there to find Bier, he wanted to slap himself.
"How does she know Young Master Qin?" Xu Jingshan couldn’t believe it even as he stood by the bus stop, "Why can she know him?"
Ying Zijin’s background was clear, just a second-class citizen.
No power, no influence, nothing special.
"How would I know?" Bier was quite annoyed, "Shut up, do you think that finding Young Master Qin can overshadow our group?"
If the core power unit fails, even if the Leader of the Hacker Alliance personally coded, the spaceship wouldn’t fly at all, how could it follow the predetermined trajectory?
"Miss Bier, sorry sorry." Xu Jingshan laughed obsequiously, "I was just too curious, please don’t mind."
He still needed Bier to get into the circle of noble elites and gain access to the Leaangle Family, he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend her.
Bier kept her face sullen, saying nothing.
Ying Zijin inviting Qin Lingyan had put her more in disarray.
Moreover, tomorrow was the time the two hypnotists Sinai found were coming for Su Wen’s treatment.
Even if Bier hadn’t returned to the Leaangle Family for a week, she still managed to hear new updates every day.
In recent days, Su Wen’s body metrics and brainwaves had fully returned to normal levels.
Without incident, Su Wen would soon awaken.
Once Su Wen awoke, the power in both families’ hands would be retracted.
But indeed, the head of the family, Luyan, had been missing for too long, no one knew whether he was dead or alive.
Su Wen, after all, was just married into the Leaangle Family, she wasn’t qualified to represent the Main House’s lineage.
Just endure a bit longer, as long as there’s still no news of Luyan, the Sage Academy would order the Leaangle Family to re-elect the head of the family.
Bier lowered her lashes, concealing the darkness in her eyes.
She had patience, she could wait.
Early in the morning.
Yu Xuesheng drove to the institute again, to pick up Ying Zijin with Sinai.
Sinai had taken a temporary antidote, reverting to her adult body.
Ying Zijin keenly noticed the bullet grazes on the fair neck.
And they were fresh wounds.
She paused: "What happened?"
"I was attacked after reverting to my adult form this morning." Sinai touched her wound, her gaze cold and fierce, "But it’s a pity, the attackers are all dead, couldn’t capture the mastermind."
She had deliberately spared a life, but before she could use the Memory Reader on them, they died of poisoning.
In the end, even the body dissolved completely.
Sinai knew the people who attacked her were the same group who had drugged her before.
After all, when she was a child, she hadn’t suffered any harm.
Once she regained her adult form, trouble came knocking.
"After today, don’t take the antidote temporarily." Ying Zijin’s eyes darkened, "I’ve located my friend, and I’ll take you to him no later than tomorrow; it will be very safe with him."
Saying this, she looked up: "You’ve regained your adult form several times now and probably attracted some hidden attention."
Apparently, the hidden forces intent on force-feeding Sinai drugs didn’t want her dead.
It was just to disrupt her physiological functions and nervous system, diminish her intelligence, and hinder the development of the Engineering Institute.
"Mm." Sinai nodded, "Ah Ying, where’s your friend? My temper is bad when I revert to a child, it’d be bad if I upset him."
"No worries, he’s equally ill-tempered." Ying Zijin thought for a moment, then added a reminder, "He’s a madman, unpredictable, rest assured, I’ll repeatedly emphasize for him not to dissect you out of curiosity."
The first time she met Norton, he expressed great curiosity in her.
So, he wanted to dissect her and examine her DNA and other body tissues, wondering how she differed from ordinary people and why she could live so long.
Later, Norton gave up the idea after losing a fight with her.
Sinai’s case was also the first of its kind, likely as a madman interested only in alchemy, he’d want to conduct a dissection again.
Why would anyone want to dissect her, what kind of person is this?
As they talked, the car had already stopped at the entrance of the Leaangle’s estate.
Sinai got out of the car.
At Second Madam’s behest, Bier reluctantly stepped forward, greeting respectfully: "Aunt."
Sinai walked past her without acknowledging, bringing Ying Zijin and Yu Xuesheng into the medical room.
Bier’s expression stiffened.
She clenched her palm, unable to bear it: "Mom, she’s so over the top, having disappeared for ten years, she still acts so high and mighty."
Second Madam glanced at Sinai’s back, fingering the Buddha Beads, smiled faintly: "Soon she’ll be gone."
Bier was taken aback: "Mom?"
"We only need to watch the show." Second Madam didn’t explain, "The result is yet uncertain, no need to get involved."
Outside the medical room.
Third Madam sat at the door, gritting her teeth: "So, have you found a way?"
She absolutely wouldn’t allow Su Wen to awaken.
In front of her stood the doctor treating Su Wen all along.
"Rest assured, Third Madam, Madam Su Wen absolutely won’t wake up." The doctor said, "I’ve figured out her treatment method, once she administers the needle today, Madam Su Wen will hemorrhage heavily."
Third Madam frowned: "Hemorrhage? Is it clean?"
"Guaranteed flawless." The doctor continued, "This incident won’t link back to the Leaangle Family or the medical room."
"By then, we can fully accuse these two of maliciously harming Madam Su Wen, sending them to Judgment Court!"
Once Su Wen is dead, the prime suspects aside from the doctor treating her can be only them.
Including Sinai who brought them in, she’s doomed!
