    A cold wind blew in the pitch-ck night. The leaves swayed as ck shadows and rustling sounds created a terrifying atmosphere.


    Qiu Xingyu was so frightened that her eyes turned red as she hid under the covers. She hummed a nursery rhyme to herself. It waste into the night when the children finally fell asleep.


    Shao An returned to the vi shrouded in a cold aura. He looked at Jin Yang and Qiu Tong solemnly as he reported the news from the prison.


    “ording to the President’s instructions, I didn’t question the prison director directly. I just casually asked him about the recent developments in the prison. There were indeed convicts who were released on bail some time ago. They allmitted minor crimes or behaved well in prison. There were a total of 13 people, and they are all in the records.”


    “There’s an underground illegal process in the prison. As long as you give enough money, you can reduce your sentence or even get bail.”


    Qiu Tong lowered her gaze and recalled what the prison director told her about reducing Qiu Rong’s prison sentence. His words matched Shao An’s discovery.


    Jin Yang narrowed his eyes, his expression void of any emotions. He tapped his leg with his fingers, indicating for Shao An to continue.


    These local officials abused their position to get money. It wasn’t that Jin Yang didn’t know about this…


    Shao An continued in a low and hoarse voice, “The warden said that Dina is a criminal under the President’s orders. Even if someone wants to bail him out secretly, no matter how much money is offered, they wouldn’t dare to release him. However, Yu Ge must have been separated from them for a period of time, so the warden doesn’t know the exact situation. I’ve retrieved the bail information from the prison. It was indeed Liqing Corporation who came forward.”


    Jin Yang waved his hand, gesturing for him to go and rest. Qiu Tong exchanged nces with him, her eyes filled with varying degrees of confusion.


    Qiu Tong sat on the bed with herptop. She had been searching for relevant information about the Liqing Corporation in recent years and realized that the news was all positive reports. The CEO even participated in charity events every year…


    She frowned as she flipped through the photos. She was surprised to see that the CEO of the Liqing Corporation had simr features to Yu Ge.


    “They could be father and son.”


    “Why do you want to continue being Yu Ge’s bodyguard?”


    Jin Yang and Qiu Tong spoke at the same time.


    Qiu Tong pursed her red lips and remained silent. She fiddled with herputer and retrieved the surveince video of the vi’s gunfight. She pointed at the figure driving the van and said, “I saw him at the Liqing Corporation. He’s part of Yu Ge’s security team!”


    Jin Yang instantly understood what she meant. He asked in return, “Do you think the foreign forces who want to snatch the human modification n are linked to the Liqing Corporation?”


    Qiu Tong nodded and zoomed in on the surveince footage. Although the quality of the footage was a little blurry, one could still vaguely see a special tattoo on the soldier’s neck. The other soldiers also had the same mark. “It’s very likely that they’re assassins secretly trained by the Liqing Corporation.”


    “Their goal in S City is definitely not as simple as setting up a branchpany.”


    “The professor was attacked some time ago. Shao An led his guards to track them, but some of them still managed to escape.”


    “Meanwhile, the captured armed personnel allmitted suicide in jail. We couldn’t gather any information at all. The conspiracy behind this is shocking! Since I can use Yu Ge to get close to them and find some clues, why not give it a try?”


    Qiu Tong urged Jin Yang to agree with his n, but he retorted with a stern expression, “I can send someone else to spy.”


    “Although Yu Ge is the General Manager of the Liqing Corporation branch, I can tell that the real person in charge of thepany is his assistant, Terrence.”


    “You want to arrange for a spy to infiltrate thepany, but the core management will definitely not recruit outsiders. Even if you sessfully infiltrate thepany, none of your spies will be able to get close to confidential documents. It won’t mean much! Yu Ge is filled with hatred towards me now. He will definitely find a way to find trouble with me.”


    The more he hates me, the more he can distract Terrence for me and give me a chance to find clues…


    Qiu Tong smiled and leaned into Jin Yang’s arms. She said softly, “I understand that you’re worried about me. I promise you that I won’t be injured.”


    “Besides, you’re outside. If you sense something amiss, you can rush over to save me at any time, right?”


    Jin Yang knew that he couldn’t change her mind, so he could onlypromise and reiterate his conditions.


    “Keep in touch with me at all times!”


    Qiu Tong raised her little finger and wagged it twice. “Okay!”


    The nightmp emitted a dim light. Sheid in Jin Yang’s arms and listened to his steady breathing.


    The connection between the human modification n and the foreign forces made them feel a little uneasy.


    Yu Ge was the only way to break through. Qiu Tong was thinking of a n in her mind, going over every single detail so as not to arouse Terrence’s suspicion. She secretly opened her eyes to look at Jin Yang’s determined profile. There were a few times when she wanted to ask him how much he knew about the n.


    In the end, she swallowed her words…
