"I'm done for! I forgot to set the alarm." Ling Chenyue was dressed in a hurry, full of annoyance, and then rushed out.
Xing Yuan rubbed her eyes groggily and yawned, "Sister, where are you going?"
"To work!" Ling Chenyue turned back, ruffled Xing Yuan's face, with a hint of personal grievance.
Xing Yuan smiled at her, then threw the car keys to her, "Here are the keys, go ahead, sister! Remember to close the door for me, I'm going to catch up on some sleep."
Xing Yuan's words successfully provoked Ling Chenyue's resentment. She turned and bit Xing Yuan's neck fiercely, leaving a not-too-small blood mark, and then left.
Xing Yuan hissed softly, smiling happily, and then her eyes closed sleepily. She didn't have to go to work, so she'd sleep a little longer.
Despite rushing, Ling Chenyue still arrived at the police station after eight o'clock, drawing surprised glances from her colleagues.
It was understandable. After all, she usually arrived very early. If she was occasionally late, it was definitely due to a mission. The discipline she cultivated in the military had always been strictly maintained, and being late for such a reason was a first.
"Sorry! I forgot to set the alarm and accidentally overslept." Ling Chenyue explained. Whether they believed her or not, this was her reason.
"Mm, understood." Jing Hua nodded, then said, "They seem to have found some clues over there. I still have a case to finish. Captain Ling, take your team to check it out!"
"Okay." Ling Chenyue breathed a sigh of relief, indicating her agreement.
After meeting up with the others, they began to discuss their findings.
"We've been investigating here for a month. Although there were generally no problems, we did run into Wang Yubei twice.
After cross-referencing his two sets of travel trajectories, we found that he went to many places each time, with some overlap. We conducted in-depth investigations into the overlapping areas. Other industries might have problems, but one place was different. It was very clean, so clean it seemed like a legitimate business."
"It's a research institute. We initially thought this research institute was a cover, and he was using it to refine and produce drugs. So, our people infiltrated it for investigation and found that besides the surface research institute, there was another one underground."
"But we couldn't get into the underground one at all. And because this research institute has always been clean and enthusiastic about public welfare, even if we had doubts, the higher-ups wouldn't approve a search warrant unless we found evidence."
"So, Captain Ling, do you have a plan?"
Ling Chenyue frowned, "Are they recruiting investors externally?"
"No! It's all funded by Wang Yubei himself. He invests a lot of money in this research institute, so the things in the underground research institute might be very important to him."
If he didn't even want investment, then conventional methods would definitely not work.
Ling Chenyue pondered for a moment and then asked, "Who is the legal representative of this research institute..."
"It's Wang Yubei himself. This is also the most suspicious point for us. After all, he has many businesses, but he rarely registers his name as the legal representative."
"What if, as a related staff member, one could get in?"
"That was the identity before, but it only allows access to the visible one."
"That's enough. Find two professionals, give us some intensive training in related knowledge, and we'll try to get in again. If we can successfully enter and find evidence of his crimes, we'll send a message to the outside immediately, and you can go in and arrest them." Ling Chenyue made up her mind, as she couldn't find any other way.
"Okay! I'll arrange it right away."
It was difficult to master a subject in a short period. Fortunately, Ling Chenyue only needed to memorize some common theories and be able to perform simple practical operations. Even if they couldn't get into the underground research institute in the end, they were special police officers and had the ability to protect themselves.
Ling Chenyue was so engrossed in the new knowledge that she was still reading a book when she got home. Xing Yuan, who was staying at her place, felt extremely displeased.
She pouted and said with a dissatisfied expression, "Sister~ Look at me, am I not as good-looking as a book?"
Ling Chenyue glanced at her and said, "Don't mess around! I'm busy. I'll accompany you later."
Xing Yuan became even more upset, but she decided to play to her strengths. She looked at the book, and her memories of the zombie world returned. She understood the book and said confidently,
"Sister, I've just read this book. How about I teach you?"
"Hmm? You've read it?" Ling Chenyue found the book headache-inducing, but she didn't expect Xing Yuan to be so learned.
"Mhm." Xing Yuan nodded, and to prove herself, she read the book while explaining the content to Ling Chenyue and taking notes.
As her academic prowess returned, Xing Yuan was soon diligently reading the book, while Ling Chenyue watched her with admiration. Although she learned some things, it wasn't much.
"How about you come with me?" Ling Chenyue suddenly had an idea.
Although generally, they wouldn't bring others on such dangerous missions, her relationship with Xing Yuan was different. Moreover, Xing Yuan seemed to know a lot about this area. If she was willing to go with her, she could pretend to be an assistant and wouldn't have to learn so much.
Xing Yuan didn't think much of it. Her sister was busy. Since she could help her sister, she naturally wouldn't be stingy.
She nodded and agreed without even asking what it was about.
No matter what her sister wanted her to do, even if it was harmful to her, she would do it.
After all, she knew that in this life, she and her sister were on opposite sides, and what her sister wanted to do would definitely not be beneficial to her. But as long as her sister was happy, a little sacrifice meant nothing to her.
"Okay, but I still need to inform them. So, after they agree, I can tell you what we'll be doing this time. Otherwise, if there's a leak, I'll be punished."
Ling Chenyue gently stroked Xing Yuan's hair, her expression tender. However, "Why did A Yuan cut her hair short?"
"Doesn't it look good?" Xing Yuan blinked confusedly and asked innocently.
"No! It all looks good." Ling Chenyue gave a standard answer. "I just find it a bit strange. After all, you mentioned last time that you were an artist who liked painting, and long flowing hair would fit the image better!"
"Sister, you're too old-fashioned! It's not like what you said!" Xing Yuan snorted lightly, her expression seemingly a little disdainful, but she still told Ling Chenyue the reason.
"I need to go out and find inspiration everywhere, otherwise, how can I get inspiration? So, too much hair can affect me. Also, I sometimes stay in the mountains for a while, and washing hair is particularly troublesome, so I cut it off."
