Zhao Li smiled meaningfully, "You little devil!"
She meant that she could exchange with her if needed, and that it wasn't a special research institute.
This was practically a direct statement: "I want the benefits, but you take the blame." Zhao Li stared at her silently, his eyes devoid of any discernible emotion.
If we consider the concentration of that bottle of spiritual liquid that Miyano started taking, Qin Ling would certainly be able to find a similar treasure.
He remembered that in a stalactite cave in the dragon vein, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered, the liquid dripping from the cave had a similar purity of spiritual energy as the bottle the little girl had taken out at the beginning.
Time, too, passes by, drop by drop, month by month.
The 507 Institute couldn't even get a single drop of that batch of spiritual liquid, which was used to keep the old revolutionary heroes alive. Zhao Li thought her idea of not flaunting her wealth was correct.
But he couldn't resist teasing this brat who had almost cost him half his life. His eyes suddenly flashed with malice, his smile turned sinister, and his voice was low and menacing.
"How do you know I wouldn't covet it, girl? Don't be so naive."
He finished speaking, but didn't get the desired effect. The brat's expression didn't even change, and he pouted in boredom.
Ruan Xianxian laughed, "Whether you're joking or testing me with a mix of truth and falsehood, there will only be one answer from me."
"Whoever forces me, I will take Miyano and defect to the enemy. Even if we don't talk about defection, I believe many neutral countries will be interested in my abilities."
She chuckled and said, "Old Master Zhao, I want to leave. Unless you keep me tied to your belt 24 hours a day, you might not be able to stop me with the current weapons and technology."
Zhao Li was dumbfounded. Listen to this, listen to this, defecting to the enemy, and even wanting to take his apprentice with him to defect to the enemy, is this even human language?
Ruan Xianxian: "Knowing full well that you were eavesdropping outside, I still chose to expose my biggest secret to you without reservation."
It wasn't for showing off in front of others, but based on trust in the organization and in China.
She then changed the subject: "However, I wouldn't mind withdrawing this trust from anyone who deliberately does something short-sighted."
Zhao Li could tell that she wasn't joking; it was precisely this seriousness that had angered him.
"What a big mouth! The organization gave you life, raised you, and nurtured you, yet you talk about treason like it's nothing? Girl, don't be so heartless."
Ruan Xianxian is never bound by morality. She smiled casually, but her nonchalant voice carried a deep sense of unease that only she knew.
"First of all, I was born to my mother, but I was raised by my grandmother."
I don't know what heinous crime my grandmother committed that led to her being sent to a farm, a researcher who had dedicated herself to the country.
They were barely clothed and starving, subjected to both mental and physical torture for eight years, and nearly gave up countless times.
She paused, then continued speaking.
"Alright, given the broader context of this era, I won't dwell on things I don't understand but can't change. The Heilongjiang Provincial Conference is short of translators, so I'm here."
Foreign customers didn't like my products, so I stepped forward to improve the clothing and generate foreign exchange.
Upon discovering enemy agents, I risked my life to infiltrate their ranks. I haven't had a good night's sleep since arriving in Heilongjiang Province.
"Don't fucking say it's what you should do. When I was bullied by Ruan Baozhu and almost sold to Lu Yi by that old man Ruan, ruining my life, where was the organization that took away my only relative?"
The feigned sharpness in Zhao Li's eyes had vanished at some point, and he had become completely silent.
Ruan Xianxian gathered a few stray strands of hair that had fallen out due to her excitement, and said softly, "The world has kissed me with pain, and I will repay it with a song."
However, these are not reasons for excessive demands. I can give, and I can take back.
"Give what? Who dares to force you?" Suddenly, a powerful aura exploded in the small meeting room, followed by Miyano's voice.
Ruan Xianxian didn't react much, but Zhao Li's expression changed, revealing wild joy, "Xiao Ye, you..."
He could sense that Miyano's power was more than twice as strong as before. He glanced at Ruan Xianxian and guiltily touched the tip of his nose.
What a talkative brat! I can't afford to mess with her. He'd better run away first!
With two short legs, it scurried to the front door, gripped the doorknob, and tried again but failed.
Zhao Li was so angry he almost jumped up and down. "You surnamed Gong, you've used all your skills on your master, haven't you?"
The door opened from the outside, and upon seeing who it was, Ruan Xianxian's breath hitched.
Miyano's white shirt was damp with water and clung tightly to his skin, outlining an extremely alluring silhouette with clearly defined lines and muscles that were not exaggerated or grotesque.
His right half of his face was as handsome as a god, while his left eyelid was decorated with dark blue-green patterns resembling red spider lilies. The way his light brown eyes looked over made Ruan Xianxian think to herself: Male bodhisattva!
He walked over step by step and sat down next to Ruan Xianxian. "Xianxian, your thinking is too extreme."
With a smile playing on his lips, his words made Zhao Li raise his eyebrows in smug satisfaction. See? His student, whom he had personally trained, was not someone that some young girl could simply snatch away.
Their eyes conveyed only one meaning: They're dead!
Miyano pulled her partner's small hand, played with her fingertips in her palm, and gave her serious advice.
"We can build a ship, first go to the island nation and blow up the temple, then go to Great Britain and overturn the Hexagon."
Finally, we turned a corner and went to the British Museum to bring back our own artifacts.
Once everything is settled and we've had our fill of fun, I'll take you to a small island where spring lasts all year round, where we can live by working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
Therefore, there are many things we can do; we will not betray our country.
"If you don't betray the country, are you going to become notorious bandits with a legitimate reason?" Zhao Li was so angry that he almost kicked this filial son away.
Ruan Xianxian is already seriously considering Miyano's proposal.
Hiding him away, somewhere no one can see him, seems like a good idea, doesn't it? His face is just too alluring right now.
