Chapter 243 Theres Something Inside His Body (2/2)

”I already felt something wrong during Caesar Academy's dance party, though I couldn't be sure at that time. But after being around him for the past two days, I'm now certain that there's some kind of object inside his body.” Xiao Rui paused and looked at Xin Qing with an expression that was far too mature for his age. Then, he picked up where he left off. ”I can feel that the object is metallic. But I don't know what it is.”

Xin Qing forced herself to calm down and to think over what she had just been told. After a moment, she asked, ”Are you positive?”

”I'm absolutely positive,” Xiao Rui said with a nod. ”We can go to Boss Wan after we get off the mountain. He's got this huge collection of weird stuff and gadgets, right? Let me go there and have a look. If there's anything Boss Wan has that matches the magnetic field of the object inside his body, I'll be able to sense it.”

”My God, Xiao Rui, you're so brilliant!” Xin Qing cupped the little guy's cheeks and kissed him. Xiao Rui blushed. ”Mom, I'm already 10 years old.”

Xin Qing pinched his cheeks once more. ”You'll still be my son even when you're 20!”

Xiao Rui lowered his head and mumbled a soft ”good night”. When he reached the door, Xiao Rui suddenly stopped short. ”By the way, are you planning to give Mr. Jiang a chance?” He asked.

”Oh shush! What are you talking about!” Xin Qing glared.

”Then you shouldn't interact with Mr. Jiang too much,” Xiao Rui said with a straight face. ”At least not in front of him.”

Xin Qing failed to understand what Xiao Rui meant. ”Why?”

”Because every time you spoke to Mr. Jiang, his emotions were in turmoil,” Xiao Rui said, curling his lips. ”I'm guessing he was jealous.”

After Xiao Rui left her room, Xin Qing covered her face and crawled back under the blanket. She tossed and turned around twice. Then, she hugged a pillow and kissed it twice.

”Hmph! Bully me again, and I'll turn you into a green-eyed monster...”

The blizzard subsided the next morning. When Xin Qing was tidying up the kitchen after lunch, she saw Ah Che rushing into the kitchen.

”Young Miss! Ah Nan and Monica are here.”

When Xin Qing walked out, she saw Ah Nan staring at Ying Qingcang with a look of excitement on his face. Beside Ah Nan, Monica rolled her eyes forcefully. Monica ran up to her happily the moment she saw Xin Qing. ”Are you alright? Are you alright? We're here to pick you up.”

”I'm fine. Thank God Jiang Qianren came to us. Otherwise we would've frozen to death, and not to mention died of hunger!” Xin Qing said, beaming at Jiang Qianren. There was a fierce glint in Jiang Qianren's eyes as he feigned a threatening look. ”You dare pull that formal act with me?” He growled.

Monica rolled her eyes. ”Whatever. Now come on, guys, chop-chop! Start packing so that we can leave this place. It'll be a tough journey once it gets dark.”

Xin Qing had originally planned to invite Jiang Qianren to have dinner with them back at the house. But he had actually snuck out from his unit a few days ago to get to them. Plus, the entire southern region of the country was plagued with winter storms right now, which was why he had to report back to duty immediately. Judging from his behavior when it was time for him to leave, Jiang Qianren was clearly reluctant to part with Xin Qing. Before he left, he even gave Xin Qing a promise.

”Feel free to do whatever you please, okay? You still have me if Ying Qingcang tries to do something to Xin Enterprises! If push comes to shove, I'll lead a squad straight to him and then blow up his ass!”

Resigned, Xin Qing saw the man off. After that, she gave Shi Qianqian and Xin Yudie a call each. After a night's rest, she brought Wangwang and the other three kids to see Boss Wan the next day.

All this while, she had thought that Boss Wan's home was in Genting where the casino was. But a chopper came to pick them up when they landed in Malaysia. They got on the chopper and flew above the sea for a long time until they finally arrived at an island. As the chopper slowly made its descent, they saw Chen Huan waving at them eagerly. Boss Wan, the cool badass that he was, stood behind her with Liuliu in his arms.

”Welcome! My poor friends who had been stranded in the mountains during Chinese New Year.” Chen Huan laughed and patted Xunxun's shoulder in jest. ”You brought it upon yourself by refusing to come back with me!”

Xunxun pulled Ah Sha's hand and brushed past Chen Huan. Chen Huan turned her head to look at Xin Qing. ”Hey, you sure you don't want to reconsider? You really want to marry your daughter off to such an uncute brat?”

Xin Qing chuckled. ”You know what? A marriage between those two never even crossed my mind. You guys were the ones who were overly enthusiastic,” Xin Qing thought.

”Let's eat first. After that I'll bring you down to the base,” Boss Wan said, giving Xin Qing a nod. Boss Wan had bought the entire island, which had a mountain on it. Half of the mountain's body had been hollowed out and the base was established tens of meters underground. In fact, the base was so deep underground that it could avoid the detection of any satellite.

Xin Qing stared at the array of strange equipment displayed all over the place. The equipment came in various sizes, and other than guns and fighter jets, Xin Qing could not recognized anything else.

”Let's go sit over there while we wait!” Chen Huan grabbed Xin Qing's arm to stop her from walking any further. Xin Qing saw the three kids following Boss Wan as they poked around at a bunch of equipment. She nodded and followed Chen Huan to the surveillance room.

Looking down from above, Xin Qing realized that there were armed men dressed in black everywhere on the base. Those men would seem to pop out of nowhere and then disappear again after taking two steps.

Wangwang was asleep by the time they finished their coffee. That was also when Xin Qing saw Xiao Rui running into the room.

”Mom! I felt something. This place really has that thing!” Having heard Xiao Rui's announcement, Xin Qing stood up and glanced at Boss Wan anxiously. The latter placed a metallic chip the size of a fingernail down on the desk.

”Hey,” Chen Huan said, picking up the chip. ”Hah! They sure don't hold anything back when it comes to splurging! This little thing could be traded for a jet.”

”What... What's that thing?” Xin Qing dared not move an inch.

Boss Wan rapped the table with his knuckles twice. ”That, my friend, is currently the smallest and most technologically advanced listening and tracking device ever made. Usually, they'll be planted inside the bodies of spies and POWs.”

”Okay. So what does that mean?” Xin Qing stared at the chip which was currently sitting on Chen Huan's palm. ”Ying Qingcang is being wiretapped?”

Chen Huan glanced at Xin Qing. ”Oh, no. This isn't just a simple wiretapping device!”
