The next morning.
The two, who had been working through the night, didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky.
"Honey, what are your plans for handling the Hongmen matter?"
Seeing that there was less than an hour left until the agreed time, Li Muyue couldn't help but ask.
"I've made all the arrangements, come in," Ye Chen said, looking towards the door.
Then, a humanoid robot dressed entirely in silver walked over, carrying a box.
Faced with Li Muyue's questioning gaze, Ye Chen nodded to the robot.
The next moment, to Li Muyue's astonishment, the silver-white robot began to wriggle and change.
Soon, a person who looked exactly like Li Muyue appeared before them.
Li Muyue circled the robot once, then reached out and touched its skin, saying, "It really is exactly the same. Are you planning to have her attend the meeting in my place?"
"You got it right," Ye Chen said with a smile.
Take the box from the robot and open it; inside is a transparent helmet.
Ye Chen took out a helmet and said to Li Muyue, "If you put on this helmet, you will be able to control this robot."
Li Muyue took the helmet and put it on. Instantly, she gained the robot's vision. She controlled the robot to move around and felt very comfortable and responsive.
Ye Chen explained from the side, "This is a robot made of the latest liquid metal. It can change into various forms, and as long as the core is intact, it is almost indestructible."
"This device was specially made for you by Zhizi. It is perfectly compatible with your brainwaves. You can operate it at will. It can also transform into armor and be attached to your body to protect you from danger."
"There are other functions as well, all inside the helmet, which can be transmitted to your mind at any time. You'll get used to it gradually."
After receiving instruction on operating the helmet, Li Muyue quickly grasped the robot's functions.
He became more and more proficient at operating it, since this thing was almost identical to himself.
She got playful and started doing some of the moves she usually saw.
Under Ye Chen's gaze, the fake Li Muyue in front of him moved with light steps, performing various difficult jumping movements, like a female knight-errant, full of heroic spirit and graceful elegance.
"Alright, it's almost time. Go ahead and have fun, it's okay if you die!"
......
At 10:00 a.m., the fake Li Muyue appeared at No. 18 Mingde Road on time.
Standing in front of the villa, Li Muyue's lips curled into a cold smile.
Through Zhizi's surveillance, she had learned almost everything about the whole affair.
At this moment, thanks to the robot's built-in scanning, the villa's structure and transparency were completely transparent, and every move and word of the people inside was clearly visible.
The only problem is that her parents' oil painting hasn't been found yet. Otherwise, she wouldn't bother with these people's pretense and would just send robots to wipe them out!
When the doorbell was rang, a middle-aged man opened the door.
Through Zhi Zi's surveillance, Li Muyue learned that this person was the steward of the Hongmen leader and the main executor of this matter.
"Welcome, Miss Li. Please come in." Butler Liu greeted Li Muyue with a broad smile and a very humble attitude.
Li Muyue walked past him expressionlessly and entered the villa.
"Mu Yue, it's been a long time!"
As soon as she entered the living room, Hong Shaojia, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up excitedly and looked at her eagerly.
Li Muyue's expression was indifferent. She ignored Hong Shaojia and walked straight to the single sofa in the living room. After sitting down, she stared at him with icy eyes.
“Hong Shaojia, what is your purpose in bringing me here? Also, please call me Madam Ye!” Li Muyue said in a deep voice.
Looking at the face he had longed for, Hong Shaojia suppressed his impulse and said earnestly, "Mu Yue, it has been many years since we last met. I have wanted to see you many times, but you have never given me the chance. I had no choice but to resort to this tactic. I hope you can understand."
"Enough with the nonsense, where is my parents' oil painting?" Li Muyue said coldly, unmoved.
"Mu Yue, can't we talk about something else?" Hong Shaojia asked with a look of disappointment on his face and his eyes slightly red.
"Young Master Hong, you talk too much nonsense. Apart from my parents' oil paintings, what else is there for us to talk about!"
Li Muyue suppressed the urge to slap the person in front of her to death and said with a face full of disgust.
Seeing the look of disgust on Li Muyue's face, Hong Shaojia's expression also hardened. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said, "Muyue, I can give you the painting, but I have one condition..."
"Stop! I refuse your request," Li Muyue said without hesitation.
"You haven't listened to my request yet?" Hong Shaojia asked in astonishment.
“No matter what your demands are, I will refuse. Young Master Hong, do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?” Li Muyue said contemptuously.
Hong Shaojia's face twitched. He could no longer suppress his anger after being repeatedly met with cold stares from the woman in front of him. He said in a deep voice, "Li Muyue, I'm speaking to you politely. What kind of attitude is this!"
"Hmph, what kind of attitude do you want! Young Master Hong, if you continue to pester me like this, I'm not going to play along!"
As she spoke, Li Muyue made a move to get up and leave.
"Wait, I'll have someone fetch the painting right away."
Seeing this, Hong Shaojia quickly spoke up, while subtly glancing at the humidifier in the corner, secretly calculating the time in his mind.
As a gang that grew from the bottom up, the Hongmen is proficient in all sorts of methods. He has added a special fragrance to this humidifier. After a person inhales a certain amount, their limbs will become weak and they will become drowsy.
There isn't enough time yet, and the medicine hasn't taken effect, so he can only try to stall Li Muyue.
"Then I'll trust you one more time," Li Muyue said coldly, sitting back down on the sofa.
Although she was unaware of these tricks, the robot's built-in monitors analyzed the air composition the moment it entered the villa and naturally detected the anomaly.
However, this has no effect on the robot!
"Old Liu, have someone send the oil painting over."
Hong Shaojia gave instructions to Butler Liu at the door, secretly signaling him to stall for time.
"Yes, young master, I will have them send it over immediately."
Butler Liu understood immediately and went outside the living room to make the arrangements.
Li Muyue didn't expose their little tricks; she just watched with amusement.
In the following time, Hong Shaojia tried to start a conversation several times, but Li Muyue ignored him each time.
The living room fell silent for a moment, with only Hong Shaojia's unpredictable expression and increasingly heavy breathing.
Inside the Li family's attic.
After learning about Hong Shaojia's underhanded actions from the images and data fed back by the robot, Ye Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent!
He has already been sentenced to death by the criminal investigation department!
Li Muyue sensed the murderous intent of those around her, but instead felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
This murderous intent was triggered because I was tricked!
In fact, she also wanted to kill Hong Shaojia with one slap, but she still persuaded him, "Husband, let him live a little longer. After all, it will not have a good impact on you if he commits murder in China."
"Don't worry, I'll make him disappear in a very reasonable way!" Ye Chen said with a sinister smile.
