Chapter 212: Chapter 190: How can I sleep with you making so much noise?

Is it built?

Li Chen was delighted; if that was the case, it would be wonderful since the main scientific research was all in North America. Developing Z substance by himself was just too difficult.

Li Chen nodded, "I’ve tried here too. I’ll send you some information later, have your people there work on it based on my progress, separately. That should be faster."

"Okay," Alice agreed from the other end.

"How are things with Ghost King?" Li Chen asked again.

"Haven’t seen him." Alice frowned, "Ever since he returned from Huaxia, he’s gone into hiding; my people haven’t been able to locate him in the short run."

"Keep an eye out."

After chatting a bit more with Alice and getting a general idea of the situation, Li Chen hung up.

That evening, Lin Yi also came back, and Li Chen quickly helped Lin Yi with her bags.

"You’re so attentive, there must be something bad going on," Lin Yi said, her lips curling into a slight smile.

Li Chen leaned into Lin Yi’s ear, "You’ll know soon."

Lin Yi’s heart warmed, and Lin Xiaoxiao, standing beside her, spoke up discontentedly, "Sis, your food’s going to get cold if you don’t eat now."

Li Chen smiled slightly.

That night, in a room on the second floor of the villa, came seductive moans, like the cries of a cat in heat, full of temptation, accompanied by someone’s rapid breathing and commands: "Yes, baby, a little lower, hmm, you’re amazing, so satisfying!"

Lin Xiaoxiao, irritated by the intermittent panting sounds, cranked up the volume of the music to the max.

...

The next day, Li Chen woke up refreshed and saw the sleeping Lin Yi beside him. He couldn’t help but stroke her affectionately; under his guidance the previous night, Lin Yi’s certain skills had become more and more adept, making him extremely satisfied.

It seemed Lin Yi did have a talent in that area.

Going downstairs, Li Chen saw Lin Xiaoxiao with a disgruntled look, seeming as if she hadn’t slept well, and curiously asked, "Xiaoxiao, did you go haunt somewhere last night?"

"You’re the one who went to haunt." Lin Xiaoxiao immediately responded with a bellyful of grievances, "Could I even sleep well last night?"

"Why couldn’t you sleep well? Last night was cool, with the perfect temperature, absolutely conducive to good sleep," Li Chen said earnestly.

"But, but with you guys being so loud, how could I sleep." Lin Xiaoxiao was frustrated, completely disregarding her own feelings.

Err, this... Li Chen was also taken aback, having not anticipated that Lin Xiaoxiao was upset for that reason.

"Xiaoxiao, don’t worry, next time we’ll definitely not make that much noise," Li Chen said awkwardly.

Lin Xiaoxiao huffed, "Tonight, I’ll sleep down here, and you guys can shout all you want upstairs."

Looking at his little sister-in-law’s tsundere attitude, Li Chen felt sympathetic, but asking him to stop was impossible—jokingly, he thought, his honeymoon with his beautiful wife was not even fully enjoyed yet.

They might as well consider it a honeymoon.

After breakfast, Li Chen went to the company; no matter what, he had to buckle down here.

The development of the Z substance always felt like it was missing the last step, but no matter what, that final step couldn’t be breached.

If the lab hadn’t been broken into that day, with all the Z substance and data destroyed, and the researchers sustaining heavy casualties, he wouldn’t be struggling to develop the Z substance even now.

Li Chen was somewhat frustrated, looking at the drugs on the desk. To refine the Z substance last time, it took thousands of failures and attempts, and although he participated then, achieving it in one step was still too hard.

Hours passed, and Li Chen still hadn’t made any progress, as the substance he refined was utterly unusable.

At this moment, Li Chen’s phone rang.

He checked, it was Alice who had called.

"Chen, the lab has made some progress with the Z substance," Alice said.

Li Chen was delighted, "Tell them to keep it up and speed up the process."

"Will do, we should be able to develop the Z substance soon."

Hearing this, Li Chen also felt very refreshed. With the Z substance, he would be able to unleash his maximum combat power in a short time. At that moment, he believed, no one could stand in his way!

Meanwhile, at the Yanjing Li Family.

Li Zheng sat in his seat, facing a man dressed in a black suit standing before him.

The man was quite unrestrained and carefree, with long hair and his hands casually placed in his pockets, looking nonchalantly at Li Zheng in front of him.

"So, the money mentioned in the Recruitment Order you put out is real?" the man asked.

"As long as you have the skill, it’s real," Li Zheng said indifferently.

"Alright then, count me in, but I’ll need an advance. Give me half upfront," the man said.

Li Zheng frowned, and a high-level expert standing beside him spoke with anger, "It’s clearly stated on the Recruitment Order, first you do the job, then..."

However, before he could finish, the man had already reached him, grabbed his neck with his left hand.

"You don’t have a say here." The man casually threw him aside, and instantly the expert was tossed away like trash.

The thrown Li Family expert did a flip in mid-air, landed on the ground, and looked at the slightly scruffy man, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

He was very confident in his own abilities, but the fact that the other man could lift him so effortlessly and he couldn’t even resist for a moment, whether in terms of speed or strength, the other man was far superior.

This man was formidable!

A gleam of joy appeared in Li Zheng’s eyes, and he immediately said, "Fine, I’ll pay you half now."

Before long, someone brought over a card and a mobile phone and handed them to the man.

"The PIN is 123456." Li Zheng said, "Keep this phone with you. When it’s time to act, we’ll give you a call."

"And one more thing," Li Zheng’s eyes narrowed, "I don’t want you to disappear. Once you’ve taken this job, if you don’t show up when the time comes, our Li Family will hunt you down for the rest of your life!"

"Don’t worry, I have professional ethics. Taking the money to do the job. Just give me a call when it’s time," the man said indifferently, then turned and left.

After the man was gone, Li Zheng once again ordered, "Keep issuing orders, recruit more high-level experts."

"Yes."

The person who received the order left, and a hint of cold light flashed in Li Zheng’s eyes.

"You won’t survive next month!"

...

Li Chen was unaware of the Li Family’s actions; he was still experimenting, but undoubtedly, he had failed again.

Damn it, I’m done, even I have my limits.

Li Chen directly set aside his work and left the company.

The sunlight outside was still pleasant. Walking on the street, he took a deep breath. The crisp air made Li Chen feel very comfortable.

Putting the lab’s matters aside for the moment, Li Chen started to relax casually.

As he wandered aimlessly, watching the passersby, Li Chen gradually found himself far from Lin’s Group.
