Squatting in front of Lin Changli's house, Kong Sang watched the news reports about the First Lady of R Country's affair and pondered various things.

She had to admit she was naive; while Kyo and William expressed their expectations of her, they also reached an agreement with her good brother.

Hmph, you've been underestimated. From the very beginning, when Jinghe and William arrived in Country C, they never placed all their hopes on her.

That's true. Compared to her elder brother who controls the Nie family, she is indeed not trustworthy. People have come all this way, so naturally they don't want to have made a wasted trip.

If I'm not mistaken, his real goal is to make a deal with Nie Jingxing, and she's just a backup plan. If she's capable, that's great; she might even be able to reduce costs. If she's not, he doesn't have any expectations of her...

Pshaw, very well, she declares this next client obsolete.

It wasn't out of anger or impulsiveness, but because this person had connections with his older brother behind the scenes. If she really became his client, Nie Jingxing would catch her red-handed.

When bad luck strikes, even drinking water can cause problems.

Now that Jinghe William has dealt with Lucky William, he will definitely contact her. If she can't produce the gene drug, he won't let her off easily.

It's obvious that this is a trap within a trap, and looking at it this way, it seems like she's in the wrong. If she doesn't make the deal, she'll offend people; if she does, she'll be in danger...

Just as they were figuring out how to resolve this, the group chat for the young lady's troops started ringing.

Soldier Zhang San: [Young Miss, that batch of gene-modifying drug materials has been detained at the border. That place is very chaotic, and we don't know anyone there. I'm afraid...]

The bodyguards arrived: [Damn it, what's going on? Who the hell detained this legitimate shipment?]

Soldier Zhang San: [I did a quick check, and it seems to involve a powerful organization. The shipment was worth a huge sum. Could we be being targeted?]

Gatekeeper Bingyu: [Then we'll suffer a huge loss. It's inconvenient for the young lady to go directly there due to her special status. I'll take on a nearby advertisement or something, go check it out first, and wait for my reply.]

Miss Sandy: [@Gatekeeper Yu, be careful.]

Shen Yu stood in the corner of the photography studio, looking at the words on his phone. A smile spread across his face, a genuinely happy smile, which was quickly captured in a photograph.

Xiao Yue, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family who had come to visit the set not far away, sneered inwardly and walked straight up to Shen Yu: "I'm very curious, what kind of magic does Nie Kongsang have that made you fall for him so quickly?"

Shen Yu put away his phone; he was already prepared for the trouble that Xiao Yue would cause him...

At the Lin family villa, Kong Sang put down his phone, feeling quite amazed.

One bad thing after another keeps happening. Can't things just go smoothly for her?

Lin Changli brought over some fruit and looked at the person who had been watching TV so intently. He noticed that the person's mood had started to turn cloudy about ten minutes ago. He pulled the person onto his lap and asked, "Is something bothering you?"

Kong Sang leaned on the other's shoulder, paused for a moment, then looked up and said, "Do you know anything about Chenxiguan? Tell me about it."

Lin Changli's eyes darkened slightly: "Your purchases from abroad were confiscated?"

Kong Sang frowned: "How did you guess?"

"No matter how complicated the flow of funds is, a large sum of money going abroad cannot be hidden from us. You are not experienced enough and do not know the rules of the border."

“Items exceeding a certain amount are likely to be confiscated if you don’t get through the checkpoints. The situation over there is chaotic, and such a large quantity of items will definitely attract the attention of many.”

Kong Sang pinched Lin Changli's arm hard in anger: "Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Lin Changli was both amused and exasperated: "You don't even let us know what you're going to do with the funds, how can we help you? Besides, I never expected you wanted the funds not for investment or anything, but to buy things to take back to China."

Seeing that Kong Sang's expression was not good, Lin Changli did not press her for details. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Si Yu is more familiar with the forces over there. Let him ask for you."

"He knows him?"

Lin Changli laughed and said, "You don't actually think that Si Yu, who comes from a military family, has always been like this, without any military rank and just loafing around, do you?"

"He used to be a member of the special forces of Country C. It was common for him to go on missions in chaotic places like border crossings. Now... he has simply abandoned his original aspirations."

Kong Sang thought of Si Yu's eccentric parents and asked strangely, "Could it be related to his parents again?"

Lin Changli nodded: "That's one reason. When Si Yu got into some trouble, his parents took the lead in reporting him for framing someone, and he lost his military rank later."

The forest is silent; all sorts of birds can be found in a large forest. The child has a father who was lost in the mountains when he was young, a mother who had an affair with her uncle—it's truly bizarre that this kid can still be so cheerful…

Si Yu paused for a moment when he received the call, but when he heard it was about Kong Sang, he did not refuse and drove to the Lin family to discuss it in person.

If possible... he didn't want to contact his old friends in Shenxiguan; he wanted to understand the priorities of the matter first.

"What? You dare to ship goods worth hundreds of millions directly? Are you kidding me?!" Si Yu shouted.

Kong Sang's face darkened: "Isn't this my first time buying something and I don't know the rules? I asked you to help, not to scold me. Are you going to help or not?"

Si Yuqi laughed, standing in the Lin family's living room: "Nie Kongsang, is this how you ask someone for a favor?"

"It's not me begging you, it's Lin Changli begging you. If you're dissatisfied, you can make demands of him." Kong Sang shamelessly offered up a scapegoat.

Lin Changli smiled, showing no anger whatsoever, but rather a pleasant expression.

Si Yu was furious and said, "Lin Changli begged me, didn't he? Say something nice to hear."

"Hmm... let me think... I remember once you were trapped in a building and there was no toilet paper, so you took off..."

"Holy crap...you're really sneaky. What nonsense are you talking about? These days, where is there a place without paper? Kong Sang, don't listen to his nonsense."

Si Yu scrutinized Kong Sang's expression, afraid of affecting his own image.

It's utterly despicable to talk about things from the apocalypse. Back then, living conditions were limited, and it was normal not to have paper. But to talk about it now... it's so inappropriate.

Kong Sang looked at Si Yu strangely: "There's no paper... are you taking off your underwear?"

Si Yu's handsome face flushed red: "What nonsense are you thinking? I was just taking off my gloves!"

In his haste, he slurred his words, and as soon as he finished speaking, Kong Sang's expression became even stranger.

"It's actually true! I thought Lin Changli was joking. These days, which restroom doesn't have a QR code for toilet paper? Did you go to some remote corner?"

"Hahahaha." Lin Changli's burst of laughter infuriated Si Yu, who threw a punch, but Lin Changli blocked it.

The next second, a sizzling sound, like water and fire colliding, rang out, and thick white steam billowed from between their fists, all of which Kong Sang witnessed...

The two realized they had gone too far and stopped, looking at Kong Sang.

"Are your mutated genes water and fire elements? What exactly is going on? The eighth-generation gene drugs on the market definitely can't achieve this effect."

Kong Sang was very puzzled as to why Yu Wei and others' genetic mutations were so advanced.
