Another half month passed.
That day, Ping Hongxi received news that all the people she had sent to kill the Qingyou sisters had failed.
Outside the Yan family's courtyard, there were people sent by Ji Yong to protect them. The Qingyou sisters were also secretly protected when they went out. They all failed and lost a lot of manpower.
The losses suffered by these assassins naturally need to be compensated by Ping Hongxi.
They demanded two biological weapons from her, or they would expose her hiring someone to kill the Qingyou sisters.
Ping Hongxi was furious. These people hadn't even done their job properly, yet they were coming to her to make up for their losses—it was practically extortion.
However, she did not want the fact that she had hired someone to kill the Qingyou sisters to be exposed, as her reputation was the most important thing to her in this life.
What I fear even more is that her identity and her past with Qingyou's family will be exposed.
She gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "Ji Yong, Si Qin, if you're going to meddle in other people's business, then you two can forget about buying biological weapons."
She had no choice but to compromise.
So she instructed her assistant to seize two biological weapons from the laboratory separately.
Ping Hongxi thought for a moment, then went to the backyard of the Yan family.
Along the way, whether it was members of the Yan family or the maids who encountered her, they were all incredibly polite and warm.
Ping Hongxi also exuded an air of arrogance.
She enjoys the feeling of being fawned over, whether at the Yan family home or outside.
The fact that several people who looked down on her in her past life were now actively seeking her out to buy biological weapons made her feel very satisfied.
Walk to the backyard.
She said to the two men guarding the yard, "I want to go in and see Grandma."
The two men made way for her, saying, "Please, miss!"
Ping Hongxi went upstairs to the master bedroom.
The door was open, and she walked straight in.
An old woman was seen sitting by the French windows, holding a white cat, lost in thought.
She pursed her lips. She had always thought that Yan Qingyou's grandmother was very prestigious, after all, she was the wife of the head of the Yan family.
Who knew that after returning to the Yan family and impersonating Yan Qingyou, she would find out that the old lady had long been under house arrest in the backyard and was not even allowed to go out.
No wonder Uncle Yan couldn't stay in the Yan family and had to go to the worst fourth district.
Ping Hongxi quickly concealed the disdain in her eyes and walked over with a smile on her face.
He knelt down in front of the old lady and said, "Grandma, I've come to see you."
The old lady then came to her senses, looked at Ping Hongxi with loving eyes, and took her hand, saying, "Qingyou, you've come."
Then, with a tender touch, she asked Ping Hongxi's face, "Have you been too tired lately? You've lost weight."
Ping Hongxi rolled her eyes inwardly. This old lady was really stupid; she couldn't even tell her own granddaughter apart.
No wonder the eldest son of the Yan family wanted her to impersonate Qingyou and deliberately get close to the old lady.
Ping Hongxi looked at him with a dependent expression, "I've been quite busy in the lab lately, that's why I've lost some weight."
"Although it was tiring, it was worth it."
She grasped the old lady's hand and said excitedly, "I have successfully developed the biological weapon that my father once proposed."
The old lady also showed surprise and delight, "That's wonderful!"
"Our green pomelo is still the best."
Ping Hongxi said shyly, "It's mainly thanks to my father. He came up with those theories and taught them to me, which is why I was able to study them."
The old lady smiled and said, "That's because you're more talented. You should carry on your father's ideas in the future."
Ping Hongxi nodded, "Yes, I will."
Then, changing the subject, he said, "Well, to develop even more powerful biological weapons, we're missing a key material."
“My dad once said that my great-uncle had found that kind of material, but he didn’t know where it was.”
She added meaningfully, "If we can find that material, I can realize Dad's most amazing idea."
"When the time comes, we must tell everyone how amazing Dad is; this was the idea he first came up with."
The old lady squeezed Ping Hongxi's hand tighter. "Good, you are such a good child."
Ping Hongxi cursed inwardly, "That old hag always messes things up at the crucial moment."
She hinted several times, but the old hag wouldn't take the bait.
So he could only look up at the old lady and ask, "Grandma, do you know where the materials that my great-uncle and the others found are?"
"I want to go find him; I must fulfill my father's last wish."
The old lady paused, her thoughts seemingly drifting away again.
After a long while, when Ping Hongxi's legs were numb from squatting, she finally came to her senses and said, "I think I have a map with the materials that your great-uncle found on it."
Ping Hongxi was delighted. "Where is the map?"
She had been coaxing the old lady for so long, all for that map.
It wasn't just the Yan family who wanted it; she was determined to have it too.
In her previous life, Qingyou found the materials on the map and developed a more advanced biological combat suit, which shone brightly when the beast tide came.
As a result, he was remembered by countless people and his fame spread all over the world.
She wants it too.
The old lady looked pained, broke free from Ping Hongxi's hand, and covered her head, saying, "My head hurts, it hurts so much!"
Ping Hongxi: "..." The old geezer messed up again at the crucial moment.
She immediately stood up, her legs numb, and she almost fell.
He cursed inwardly, but walked behind the old lady and rubbed her head.
After a long while, the old lady finally said, panting, "I feel better."
"I don't quite remember where I put the map. Let me think about it carefully."
She added, "I've thought of something. I'll have someone go and call you."
Ping Hongxi cursed her bad luck inwardly, but said aloud, "It's alright, Grandma's health is more important."
"Then you should rest well, and call me when you think of something."
