Chapter 23: Enhanced Vision Again

“Okay.”

After Ying Qiu left, he asked with a smile, “Are you hungry? Go eat something first, then come back to report after you’re done.”

“I can report whenever. But your dark circles are a bit heavy, you stayed up all night last night, right?”

“I had some things to deal with last night.”

Ye Qinglan thought for a moment and said, “Then how about I report to you now? After I’m done, you can go to rest early, so you don’t have to wait for me to come over.”

“That would be great.”

This report lasted for over an hour.

Old Bai praised her profusely after listening. Strictly speaking, this was Xiao Qing’s first solo mission, and she completed it beautifully.

This information was very important, one of which was related to the engine, left by Mei Hanzhi’s wife, Liang Tong. Two years ago, an incident happened. David, a colleague of Liang Tong’s at the research institute, was an American. David wanted to return to his homeland to make contributions. He had already negotiated with the W Country to leave all research materials and personal assets behind, only returning to his homeland alone.

Seeing that W Country agreed, and that the domestic situation was also starting to get back on track, Liang Tong also took the opportunity to propose returning to China.

On the eve of David’s return to his homeland, the research institute organized a farewell party. Everything was normal during the event, but just before it ended, David was poisoned to death on the spot. Liang Tong was also poisoned to death at the same time.

For a while, there was an uproar in all walks of life. Many people, including Mei Hanzhi, believed that the W Country was behind the poisoning.

The W Country firmly denied it, but couldn’t produce evidence to prove that it wasn’t them.

Seeing this, Mei Hanzhi was worried that he might not live long either. He was also very angry about Liang Tong’s death, and his father’s death was also suspicious. So, in the last few months of his life, he turned against the people in Liang Tong’s research lab, took away the materials of Liang Tong and David’s lifetime, and compiled his own years of hard work, intending to hand it over to Qianhe.

But before he could, he died at home. Before his death, he entrusted the things to Ma Wenhai, asking him to hand them over to Qianhe.

Ma Wenhai, seeing the fate of these people, knew too well what awaited him. Without even thinking twice, he entrusted the things to Lan Ying to bring back to Xiangcheng.

Ye Qinglan listened and said, “They really were killed by the W Country? They did it so blatantly.”

“Yes. After Liang Tong, there were several other people from other countries who wanted to leave, so they went back on their word. The incident started with David. They planned to eliminate David to deter others, but the person who did it acted on their own and killed Liang Tong along with him.”

Old Bai added, “Mei Hanzhi wasn’t killed by them. We’ve been investigating his death and have a lead.”

“Oh~~”

Ying Qiu had already returned, and seeing that they were still reporting, she didn’t come in.

Now seeing that they were chatting casually, she walked in:

“The floppy disk has been sent over.”

“Okay.”

Ye Qinglan got up: “Then I’ll take off.”

“Wait a minute.” Minister Bai called out to her, tapping her face with his hand: “Tell me, how did you apply that makeup? It looks better than our current disguise techniques. I heard from the people at the base that you bought several chemical reagents for yourself? Is that right?”

Well, she knew Old Bai would ask.

She chuckled: “Oh, my disguise skills weren’t taught by you? You know all about it.”

Old Bai tapped the table with his hand: “Don’t pretend, give me a few.”

“A few?!” Ye Qinglan instantly became like a puffed-up cat, glaring at him: “Do you know how hard I thought about those faces? I don’t even have enough for myself, and you ask for a few! One, just one, no more.”

Those face models were all her original creations, not many in number.

Although the probability of completely replicating a mask face and a real person’s face is almost zero due to the different facial bones, she still made marks on many places, such as the corners of the eyes, corners of the lips, and the brow. Some faces were even made with a comic-like flavor, absolutely beautiful, she didn’t even dare to use them herself.

Old Bai just smiled: “One is one.”

He thought he wouldn’t even get one.

Seeing him smile like that, she suddenly didn’t want to give him any.

Seeing that she didn’t move, Old Bai urged: “I didn’t teach you to go back on your word. You should have some credibility.”

Ye Qinglan then rummaged in her bag, pulled out a thin piece of skin, and poured a few pills from her glasses leg.

“Dissolve it in water, the white one is for applying, the blue one is for removing, don’t get it wrong.”

“Got it.” Old Bai took the mask and looked at it, a thin piece, really well-made. As he looked at it, he asked again: “Can it only be used twice?”

“No, it can be reused as long as it doesn’t get ruined.” Ye Qinglan added: “But our line of work is too dangerous, it’s best not to use it too many times.”

“That’s a bit wasteful.”

“Don’t leave it on your face for too long, it’s easy to ruin your face if you leave it on for too long.”

“Okay.”

Old Bai put the things in his drawer, then took out a key and a thick envelope for her, which contained money and tickets.

“Dormitory key, West District Building 4, Room 203, you’ll live there when you come to Beijing, it’s just you in there. The money is your bonus.”

Seeing the money, Ye Qinglan was delighted.

Old Bai was efficient in his work, the bonus didn’t even need her to apply for it when she came back, how much he trusted her!

She was so happy that she pulled out another mask: “I suddenly feel like one might not be enough, let me give you another one as a gift.”

Old Bai: “…” If he knew money was useful, he should have taken the money first and then talked.

Ying Qiu smiled with a suppressed laugh.

Ye Qinglan took the key, put away the money, picked up her bag, and instructed the factory to make some trinkets for her, then left.

After she left, Ying Qiu asked: “Should I take it down and have them study it?”

“No need, some technologies are better not to be circulated.”

He was Minister Bai after all, instantly realizing the harm of this thing.

Then he asked Ying Qiu to find someone to take the things Ye Qinglan wanted to the factory, and he contacted the Xiangcheng side himself. He also revealed a little about the murderer, and the Xiangcheng side should also find a way to take care of Lan Ying, and Ma Wenhai’s crisis needed to be resolved.

But these were none of Ye Qinglan’s business, she went to the dormitory first.

The West District Old Bai mentioned was the living area, separated from the Building 19 office area by a main road. She didn’t have time to look around on the way, she hadn’t rested for a day and a night.

When she arrived on the second floor, she opened the door and took a look, not bad, there was a separate washing area, and there were toiletries.

She put down her bag, took a bath and washed her hair first, and washed her clothes after she was done, she had only two sets of clothes.

After washing, she scratched her hair in front of the mirror: “It needs a trim.”

She patted her face: “Damn, did the dead AI really copy it from me?”

This face was exactly the same as her face in her previous life, even the small mole under her eye hadn’t changed, just not as white as her skin used to be.

Looking at the mirror, she turned on the X-ray vision again, her vision passed through the bathroom wall, then looked at the bathroom door—

Wow! She could see through another wall!
