Chapter 898: Why Do We Have To Disguise As a Couple? Can’t We Pretend To Be Siblings?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The terrain in Country D was mostly made up of plains, mountains, and rivers.
The further they went in the North, the more deserted it was. They would not see a single village even after driving for a few hours.
By the time Zi Yi and Qin Ze finally arrived at the village they were going to stay at, it was already evening.
Even if it was a village, every house was s.p.a.ced far apart. It could be said that every family had a farm of their own.
The car was parked outside a small farmhouse. As the moonlight was slightly dimmer tonight than usual, and because there were no street lights, they had no visibility after they alighted from the car.
!!
“Zi Yi, who found this place?” After Qin Ze alighted from the car, he used the flashlight from his phone to light up the surroundings. Following that, he turned around and saw Zi Yi sending a message. “You didn’t send someone over in advance?”
“No.”
Zi Yi motioned to him. “You can go and turn on the lights in the living room first. Someone has already cleaned the rooms in advance. Our ident.i.ties will be that of a couple who came here to travel and if anyone were to ask you, tell them we are here for our honeymoon.”
“Ugh… cough, cough…” Qin Ze was taken aback by this disguise. His strong sense of self-protection and awareness made him object. “Why do we have to pretend to be a couple? Can’t we disguise ourselves as siblings?”
Speaking of this, to prevent Zi Yi from knowing he was a little fearful of Lu Jingye, he even added an explanation. “What if I encounter my true love here, wouldn’t I miss her?”
Zi Yi looked at him for two seconds and said, “Siblings won’t work. It’s easy for other people to be suspicious.”
“Then… father and daughter?”
Even though he would be somewhat taking advantage of Zi Yi, Qin Ze felt that it was better than being newlyweds.
Unexpectedly, Zi Yi agreed. “Ok then. Put on a middle-aged man’s mask tomorrow and from then on, we will be father and daughter. If anyone asks anything, tell them that something happened at home and we’re out here to relax.”
Qin Ze: “…”
He very much wanted to ask what change happened at home. Could it be that his wife had pa.s.sed away from illness and he couldn’t take the setback, so they came out to have a change in pace?
Zi Yi was unaware of Qin Ze’s imaginative thoughts. She took out a flashlight and headed to the door.
After she found the key and opened the door, she noticed Qin Ze was standing in his original spot without moving. She crossed her arms and reminded him. “We haven’t had dinner. Are you planning to stand there and wait for breakfast time to come around?”
Only then did Qin Ze work hard while grumbling as he opened the back door of the van and moved the booty Zi Yi had purchased from the supermarket into the living room.
By the time they finally got to eat some instant noodles, Qin Ze sighed. “Sure enough, one cannot make a conclusion too early. To think that there would be a day where we end up eating instant noodles.”
Having said that, he sucked in a mouthful of noodles and then asked, “Why didn’t you buy more bread?”
“I bought flour. You can make anything you like.”
“…”
After dinner, Zi Yi was not in a rush to go to sleep. Instead, she turned on the virtual screen and quickly connected to Little Loli’s eyes.
A room filled with numerous mechanical parts was seen on the screen.
Qin Ze asked in surprise, “Little Loli, you’re in the parts room?”
Little Loli’s voice sounded. “Hehe, that’s right. No one can find me here. I can pretend to be one of the spare parts here.”
Qin Ze imagined the scene where Little Loli pretended she was a spare part lying around. However, she had a large physique, and so wouldn’t those people detect her?
Zi Yi glanced at the confused Qin Ze and turned to ask Little Loli, “Have you discovered those worms?”
“I’ve already identified five. I’ll send you a list of their names.”
As soon as she said that, a list of five individuals along with their positions appeared on the virtual screen.
Looking at the positions of those individuals, Zi Yi and Qin Ze furrowed their eyebrows at the same time.
“They are all people with high positions in there. Wouldn’t it be somewhat difficult if we wish to get rid of them?” Qin Ze asked.
“If violent measures have to be taken, we can kill them off during an explosion.”
“Will that work? Country D’s aeros.p.a.ce research lab is a place that the whole world is concerned about. If we cause such a huge commotion, it would surely result in serious consequences.”
After all, they were still affiliated with a country and if Country D were to discover the slightest of traces, the relations.h.i.+p between both countries would worsen. Things would be bad when that happens.
“Therefore, we have to make plans.”
Personally, Zi Yi was not concerned about this matter at all. However, as a citizen of China, she obviously had to think twice.
“What are your plans? Can you simply replace those people?”
“I can’t. I didn’t bring so many robots along with me.”
What’s more, she did not wish to replace those people with her own robots.
“However, we can find a way to have these people commit mistakes and let the higher-ups in Country D replace them.”
“Wouldn’t that be a slow process?”
“Why would it be a slow process?”
At the same time, Zi Yi’s fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard. Sometime later, the crimes of those people that were unknown to the ma.s.ses were dug out by Zi Yi.
Qin Ze was simply stunned.
“Aren’t you a little too fast? However… if we were to show these to the higher-ups of Country D, perhaps there might be those worms among them. In the event someone tips off the five worms and they enter another body, what should we do?”
“Therefore, we need to plan it slowly.”
Even though Zi Yi was talking about making plans, her fingers had already moved as she sent out the information.
“Who did you send the information to?”
“The King.”
Qin Ze kept quiet. He looked at Zi Yi intensely as she continued typing on the keyboard.
It was only until sometime later that Zi Yi put away the keyboard and said to him, “I want to have porridge and spring rolls tomorrow morning.”
Having said that, she left in the direction of her bedroom.
Qin Ze: “…Don’t tell me this little brat allowed me to tag along only to treat me as a cook?”
Even though he felt a little stifled by that thought, he still tirelessly organized the things Zi Yi purchased from the supermarket and kneaded the dough before he went upstairs to take a rest.
Zi Yi who went into her bedroom was currently having a video call with Lu Jingye. Both of them were looking at the babies in the nursery at the same time.
“Ah Jing, look. Our babies have grown up a bit more.”
Zi Yi looked at the two babies with a pleasant sense of surprise.
Lu Jingye was also looking at them as he responded affirmatively. “They will grow very fast after they pa.s.s the three month mark.”
Having said that, he asked, “Are you accustomed to staying there?”
“Not at all.” Zi Yi s.h.i.+fted her gaze away from the babies and said with an aggrieved expression, “I have to do everything myself here, and that includes preparing the food.”
Lu Jingye immediately felt concerned. “I’ll send you someone who can cook.”
Zi Yi smiled brightly and said, “Why don’t you send yourself here? In that case, you can also warm my bed. The temperature here at night is very low.”
Lu Jingye’s lips also curved up. “Ok.”
“Forget it. You still have to stall Hank and Runge on your end… Even though you can get the robot to take your place, I feel that Runge’s eyes are a little sharp and he can tell the difference.”
Lu Jingye nodded his head and both of them changed the topic.
After turning off the video call, Lu Jingye suddenly received a secret message and learned that Runge had left for the north.
Early the next morning, General Hank’s residence sent him another invitation letter.
