Lin Yuan took a deep breath and slowly raised his hands, a faint Spiritual Energy Fluctuation shimmering in his palms.
"Wait, wait! Don't rush into a fight just yet!"
A sudden flash of insight crossed Lin Yuan's mind. This scene felt so familiar. Wasn't this the classic setup before a duel in a Wuxia film?
No, no, this was too cliché! If they were going to do this, they needed to make it different!
He quickly lowered his hands, scratched his head, and put on an earnest smile. "Um, Sister Han, look at the lighting and the atmosphere—it's perfect for a photo op! How about we take a picture first? We can fight later; let's capture this beautiful memory. Who knows when we'll meet again in the Jianghu? It could be great conversation material!"
Han Lingyun and her subordinates were stunned, as if they had been struck dumb. What was wrong with this kid? Even at a time like this, he wanted to take pictures? Was this some kind of new delaying tactic? Or was he secretly a photography enthusiast who pursued art even in life-and-death situations?
Su Jiu'er looked at Lin Yuan in bewilderment. What was he up to now? She even began to suspect that the fumes from the factory had messed with his brain.
Lin Yuan pulled out his phone, skillfully switched to selfie mode, and flashed a peace sign at Han Lingyun and the others. "Come on, everyone smile! Say cheese! Three, two, one, click!"
Click! The flash went off, capturing this absurd moment. In the photo, Lin Yuan beamed brightly while Han Lingyun and her subordinates wore expressions that looked as if they had swallowed flies—this would undoubtedly be the most "unforgettable" group photo of their lives.
Han Lingyun snapped back to reality, her face turning ashen as if she had swallowed a live frog. "Lin Yuan! You're messing with me!" She felt utterly humiliated; this kid had treated her like a fool!
Lin Yuan blinked innocently. "I swear on my conscience, I would never mess with you! I just thought this scene was rare and wanted to keep a memento! Look at how artistic the abandoned factory looks as a backdrop; combined with our tense atmosphere, it’s practically a still from an epic film!"
Han Lingyun was furious enough to blow her top; she wanted nothing more than to slap him into next week. "Enough nonsense! Get them! Capture them!"
Her subordinates snapped out of their daze and charged forward aggressively toward Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er.
Lin Yuan grabbed Su Jiu'er by the arm. "Run! The best strategy is to retreat! We need to save our strength for later!"
The two of them bolted like startled rabbits, darting through the abandoned factory as Han Lingyun's subordinates shouted angrily behind them like a pack of hungry wolves chasing their prey.
"Damn! This factory is huge! It's bigger than my neighborhood! How many square meters is this? How much property tax would that cost?" Lin Yuan complained while running. "If we get lost here, we're in big trouble! We need to find a map or something!"
Su Jiu'er shot back irritably, "Shut up! Just run! No time for chit-chat! This is about survival, not sightseeing!"
They reached the other side of the factory and discovered an abandoned sewer entrance. The entrance was overgrown with green vines that exuded an eerie aura.
"Get in!" Su Jiu'er decisively exclaimed; this might be their only escape route.
Without hesitation, the two of them crawled inside. The sewer was filled with a foul stench, reminiscent of a toilet that hadn't been cleaned in centuries, nearly making Lin Yuan faint.
"Oh my God! This smell is unbearable! It's practically a biological weapon!" Lin Yuan covered his nose, feeling his stomach churn. "It's worse than that bowl of stinky tofu I had last time! At least I could eat that; this stuff would take ten years off my life just from one whiff!"
Su Jiu'er also frowned; the odor was indeed intolerable, but she forced herself to push forward.
They groped their way through the sewer, the occasional squeaking of rats echoing in the pipes, sending Lin Yuan into a panic.
"I mean, Jiu'er, there aren't any rats in this pipe, right?" Lin Yuan's voice trembled as if he were about to cry. "I'm terrified of rats! Even more than cockroaches! What if one bites me and I catch the plague?"
Su Jiu'er suppressed her laughter. "Don't worry, there are no rats, just cockroaches."
"Cockroaches?" Lin Yuan nearly fainted again. "That's even worse! I'd rather face those lunatics from the Qi Gong Association! At least they don't fly or crawl into my clothes!"
...
After a series of struggles, they finally escaped the factory and sat breathlessly on the roadside, their clothes covered in mud and dust, looking like two beggars who had crawled out of a garbage heap.
"Phew! We finally made it out!" Lin Yuan sighed deeply, feeling as if he had run a marathon. "This was harder than going to the West for scriptures! At least Tang Seng had a white dragon horse to ride; we had to rely on our own two legs!"
Su Jiu'er took out her phone and dialed a number. "Bureau Li, we are safe now, and we got the data."
A steady voice came from the other end of the line. "Good! Well done! Head back to headquarters first; we'll discuss the details in person."
...
At the Qi Yun Investigation Bureau headquarters.
Su Jiu'er handed over Nan Gong Xuan's experimental data to Director Li Changfeng. After reviewing it, his expression turned grave. "This Nan Gong Xuan is incredibly audacious! How dare he conduct such inhumane experiments! Is he trying to destroy the world?"
Lin Yuan added, "You can say that again! The scene at the lab was scarier than a horror movie! I almost threw up my dinner from last night! Those experiment subjects looked like neither human nor ghost; it made my sanity drop like crazy!"
Su Jiu'er shot him a glare. "Be serious!"
Lin Yuan quickly fell silent.
Director Li Changfeng pondered for a moment and said, “Jiu'er, you need to organize this information immediately and hold a press conference to expose Nan Gong Xuan's crimes to the public! We must let the whole world know about his conspiracy!”
Su Jiu'er nodded, “Understood!”
...
At the press conference, Su Jiu'er sternly revealed Nan Gong Xuan's experimental plans and disclosed some of the experimental data, causing an uproar.
Public opinion was in an uproar, with widespread condemnation of Nan Gong Xuan's actions. In no time, he became a pariah, with everyone calling for his downfall.
Upon seeing the news, Nan Gong Xuan's face turned ashen, his teeth clenched in anger. “Su Jiu'er! How dare you ruin my plans! I will make you pay for this!”
...
In Su Jiu'er's apartment.
Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er were analyzing intelligence. The table was cluttered with various documents and photographs, while a large map on the wall was marked with various information.
“It seems that Nan Gong Xuan's experiment has entered its final stage,” Su Jiu'er pointed to a red dot on the map and said. “We must stop him as soon as possible! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
Lin Yuan nodded, “I have a plan…”
