Chapter 552: 301 Who is he in the end? (Third update)_2

Even though she said that, Fang Yuxin still used her Spiritual Sense to inspect the Communicator inside and out. After making sure there were no issues, she nodded at her family.

Fang Jintang and the others couldn’t help but smile and shake their heads. They had actually already checked the Communicator discreetly with their Spiritual Sense when they first got their hands on it, and found nothing wrong. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have kept wearing it and using it.

Just now, because of that miniature robotic bug, they had become suspicious of Zhao Qiankun, and in their haste, they had actually forgotten this fact! It was truly inadvisable.

However, the incident with the bug still cast a psychological shadow over them; although they no longer refused to use the Communicator, they also didn’t wear it directly on their person.

Fang Yuxin, thinking about her suspicions regarding Zhao Qiankun, felt uneasy at heart and said, "Dad, Mom, Brother, I always feel something isn’t right. This miniature robotic bug doesn’t seem like something that could exist with current technology. I suspect Zhao Qiankun obtained some kind of magical ’golden finger,’ which is why he was able to bring out such a wondrous thing."

The three members of the Fang Family exchanged glances, their expressions slightly darkening with worry. Fang Yuyang pondered and said, "Xinxin, do you mean that Zhao Qiankun might have something similar to Qingmu Spiritual Mansion? Except instead of a Cultivation Spiritual Mansion, he’s obtained items from the future?"

"Perhaps from the future, or maybe from some other higher civilization—who knows?" Fang Yuxin sighed heavily, speaking with a grim expression, "But no matter which it is, the feeling Zhao Qiankun gives me is that he must have some sort of powerful trump card. Now that we have offended him, it seems we must be even more careful from now on. If I’d known it’d come to this, I wouldn’t have spoken so harshly."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuyang disagreed, saying, "Zhao Qiankun is a scumbag to begin with. Regardless of whether he has a powerful card up his sleeve or not, he has ill intentions towards you. Just because he’s formidable, should you be meek and suck up to him? That bastard will only become more demanding!"

Qu Qianhe nodded in agreement, adding, "Xinxin, your brother is right in what he just said, and what you did was correct. It also served to reveal Zhao Qiankun’s true nature, which is not without its benefits. If it weren’t for your attitude irritating him, why would he get so embarrassed and angry that he’d use such a miniature robotic bug to monitor you?"

Although they had no concrete evidence in their hands, and everything about Zhao Qiankun was pure conjecture, Fang Yuyang and the others all felt that Fang Yuxin’s suspicions about Zhao Qiankun were not unfounded. Not only had Zhao Qiankun produced Communicators and blood-testing strips, but there had always been rumors that many other research projects were ongoing in his institute.

At first glance, these would not seem unusual, but their emergence was undeniably premature and ahead of the times. Although these Communicators are based on preexisting smartphones with some modifications, is it that the researchers are too clever, or has someone directly introduced more mature technology?

Regardless, based on the current evidence, Zhao Qiankun was the prime suspect, so the Fang Family chose to be particularly vigilant around him. Fang Yuxin felt that the matter was of great importance and had to inform Bai Ye about it. Using the Communicator was not very secure; even if the device itself was not tampered with, the signal could be intercepted. It would be better to meet him in person.

She shared her thoughts with her family, and everyone agreed that the matter had to be handled with caution. Fang Yuyang was worried about Fang Yuxin being alone with Bai Ye and feared his precious sister might fall prey to Bai Ye’s rogue charms, so he decided to accompany Fang Yuxin. Left with no choice but to accept his company, Fang Yuxin took him along.

Before going to see Bai Ye, Fang Yuxin first called his Communicator number. Bai Ye was in the middle of receiving reports from his subordinates, but upon hearing the Communicator ring, he glanced sideways and saw the words "Xinxin" displayed on the screen; his eyes immediately lit up!

Without hesitation, he answered the call and, before opening the video, quickly straightened his hair. Ignoring the twitching faces of his subordinates, he beamed at Fang Yuxin through the video, "Xinxin, is there something you need from me? Is it because of Zhao Qiankun?" He had previously heard about Zhao Qiankun contacting Fang Yuxin from Bai Qianqian, and had been eagerly hoping Fang Yuxin would tell him about it so he could stand up for her. So, he subconsciously asked.

However, in response to his question, Fang Yuxin said, "It’s something else. It’s inconvenient to talk about it in the Communicator. Do you have time now? I’ll come to see you."

Bai Ye nodded without hesitation, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Fang Yuxin, "I’m always available. Come over now!"

Although Fang Yuxin’s reluctance to discuss Zhao Qiankun with him dampened his spirits somewhat, that feeling paled in comparison to the prospect of meeting her imminently.

After all, they hadn’t been apart for long, but having previously spent so much time together, this sudden separation made Bai Ye quite uneasy. For a man who had only recently come to his senses and found a girlfriend after so many years, he found the time without Fang Yuxin to be excruciating!

He really didn’t know how he had managed to make it through those twenty plus years!

Thinking that it would take some time for Fang Yuxin to arrive, Bai Ye gestured for his subordinate to continue speaking. As he listened, his thoughts shifted — what could Xinxin be coming to him for? Her expression earlier seemed very serious; could there be something else that he was unaware of?

At the thought, Bai Ye narrowed his eyes dangerously. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
