Chapter 019 Endless Night, Sleepless Part 1

Almost simultaneously, Yi Lin took a few steps and came to Molly's side.

"I remember this little gadget of yours can prevent sound wave leakage on a technological level, but it seems like there's no way to do that on a physical level, right?"

Yi Lin whispered into Molly's ear.

Molly nodded.

The hot breath Yi Lin huffed into her ear always made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Seeing that Yi Lin had a serious expression with no intention of joking,

So even though Molly felt that the distance between them was a bit too close, she suppressed the urge to kick Yi Lin in the face.

"Someone is outside."

Two icy glints flashed in Yi Lin's eyes before he asked softly, "Are they here for you, or for me?"

Molly couldn't help but roll her eyes at Yi Lin, "Do you think I'm like you? Having enemies everywhere? Miss me is famously harmless to humans and animals..."

"Don't think I don't know; outside Dragon Country, there are plenty of forces thinking day and night about how to kidnap you."

Yi Lin said with a slight smile, his tone filled with mockery.

"Mind your own business! Rest assured, when I snuck out, not a single person knew, I still have that much confidence," said Molly, unceremoniously.

In other words...

Several thoughts flashed through Yi Lin's mind as he speculated about the identity of the person lurking outside.

Gu Sinan and his group?

Probably not.

Based on Yi Lin's observations over the past few days and after five days of interrogation, their investigative focus shouldn't fall on him anymore.

Besides, with their status, they could just visit openly, no need to sneak around like thieves.

Suddenly, Yi Lin remembered the hidden murderous intent he felt in the Qingcheng Police Station earlier that day.

"Hehe..." Molly suddenly laughed as if rejoicing in others' misfortune and turned her head to whisper into Yi Lin's ear, "I bet you might not know the real identity of Siao Yang, though?"

"Hmm?"

"Xiao Mo, the president of Heng Yang Medical Equipment Co., Ltd, and Siao Yang is his only son... Within the boundaries of Dragon Country, Hengyang Medical Equipment Co., Ltd is ranked in the top twenty. In the medical equipment field, they are considered a leader, with much more power than you can imagine."

"Xiao Mo... Xiao Mo?"

Yi Lin chewed on the name thoughtfully, feeling as though he had heard it somewhere before.

After the apocalypse broke out, Siao Yang's information wasn't detailed enough to dig out his ancestors' eighteen generations. It was said that he came from a moderately wealthy family before the apocalypse. Of course, the term "moderate" here is relative to the five high and mighty ancient families.

It seems the name Xiao Mo... Tch, not high enough in Mental Attribute, even memory is deteriorating.

...

Outside the window, the sky had darkened.

Unbeknownst to him, he and Molly had spent several hours discussing, without realizing it.

Next...

Yi Lin suddenly chuckled mischievously, and his volume rose by several levels.

"Hehe, sweetheart, the long night is endless, and sleep eludes me; how about we go out for a stroll and find a quiet place to enjoy the night view?"

Molly: "?"

Why did this tone sound like it came straight from a typical bad example in the "366 Ways of Avoiding Scumbags" book she had read a few times?

Her high-heeled feet were already lifting on their own.

She almost kicked Yi Lin in the face.

If not for Yi Lin's serious expression completely mismatching the frivolous tone, Molly's foot might have been on Yi Lin's face three seconds ago.

"Quick! Play along with me!"

Yi Lin's volume suddenly dropped to the lowest, barely loud enough for the two of them to hear.

Molly understood immediately.

With her intelligence, if she hadn't grasped Yi Lin's intentions by now, it would be a true waste of her Mental Attribute Value.

"Annoying~"

Molly responded with a coquettish voice.

Yet her expression was fiercely staring at Yi Lin while mouthing a warning, "This is the last time! What exactly are you up to?"

Yi Lin mouthed back with a gleeful expression, "If you don't listen, I'll make your nickname public, believe it or not?"

"You wouldn't dare?"

"Mo Mengmeng?"

"I killed you!"

"The spider web thread is not far."

"OK, you win."

The two quickly came to an agreement with their mouth shapes.

While Yi Lin and Molly were "flirting" halfheartedly, Yi Lin silently removed the small magnetic field disruptor that had been attached to the wall.

Noticing Yi Lin's action, Molly also sensed that something was amiss and quickly packed up the portable holographic 3D projector that was on the table.

Yi Lin listened intently.

The slight noise just now seemed to have been inadvertently let slip by the other party.

But no matter how much Yi Lin focused, he could no longer detect any movement.

Very professional.

Yi Lin quickly came to this conclusion.

But the other party must have taken him for an ordinary high school student, hence the momentary lapse.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Molly watched, wide-eyed, as Yi Lin ran into the room to change clothes, his waist bulging with something.

She couldn't help but use her mouth shape to ask.

"Let's go, let's take a walk outside!"

Yi Lin shook his head and said nothing.

The moment he opened the door, Yi Lin put on a beaming smile that, in Molly's eyes, was utterly detestable.

It made her feel a strong urge to kick him.

Yi Lin, however, completely ignored Molly's murderous gaze and wrapped an arm around Molly's slim waist.

Molly's body stiffened.

This guy... how dare he touch me?

Is he seeking death?

Molly's eyes widened, unblinking and filled with shock.

But Yi Lin squinted and leaned in closer, whispering in Molly's ear, "I'm getting old, my memory is not very good, your name is Mo... what was it again?"

Molly's rising momentum instantly weakened again.

If someone else saw this scene, no doubt they would think they were a lovestruck couple.

After Yi Lin wrapped his arm around Molly and they entered the elevator...

A shadow silently emerged from around the corner.

"Second Brother, the young man the old master told me to keep an eye on..."

The shadow whispered.

From the other end of the earpiece came a calm and stern response.

"Hmm?"

"Truly, appearances can be deceiving..."

"Hmm?" the voice behind the earpiece rose slightly.

"You didn't see, that kid actually went out with a girl in the middle of the night, that slender waist, those long legs, tsk tsk, compared to those we visit for health reasons... they're in a different realm!"

"What is that kid doing out so late at night?"

"If I'm not wrong, it could be... heh heh heh." The shadow chuckled with a laugh that any man would understand.

On the other end of the earpiece, the calm and stern voice fell silent.

"By the way, should I search his house?"

"Forget it, Qingcheng Police Station is keeping a close watch, there's no need, and if the kid actually has something to hide, do you think he'd leave any evidence in his own home? Hmph, just make sure you keep a close eye on him, if you miss anything..."

"Yes! I understand! I'll watch him now! Don't worry, Third Brother and Fifth are downstairs; he can't escape."

"Just keep watching, for now... don't touch him until the old master gives the order."

"Understood!"

"By the way, if anything special happens... remember to record it, bring it back for me to study properly."

"Hmm?"

"Remember to turn on night vision mode."

"Got it!"
