Chapter 500: You’re the National Hero?!
“It’s all Yan Feng’s fault! If it weren’t for his tight lips, I wouldn’t be searching like a blind mouse right now!”
“...”
Qi Yeli and Mo Ran conversed while they walked. Neither of them noticed Dai Yixin and Su Yan in the corner.
Only after the two disappeared, did Dai Yixin and Su Yan stop staring.
Su Yan looked over to Dai Yixin, “Are they talking about the underage girl who led the police to the successful capture of the international biology lab?”
Since Qiao Qing did not allow any information to be leaked after the destruction of the organization, the only thing everyone knew about that national hero was that she was an underaged woman.
Dai Yixin’s had an idea and she mumbled, “I was 16 three years ago.”
Su Yan’s eyes widened, “Yixin, the national hero is you?!”
Dai Yixin glanced at her, “Even if I am not, I have to be.”
The bonus was $300M. Not only would that help her get out of her current financial hards.h.i.+p, but it would also allow her to reach financial independence. She wouldn’t need to work another day for the rest of her life.
Even as a manager, at most she’d make $600,000 a year. $300M was not something she could earn in her lifetime.
Since n.o.body claimed that bonus, why would she let the money sit there and grow mold?
Su Yan instantly understood what she meant. She glanced around and asked anxiously, “How do you prove that you’re a national hero?”
Dai Yixin’s lips curled up, “Don’t worry about me. Have you forgotten that I am a member of the world-cla.s.s IQ club?”
“That club and the biology lab are nemeses. Not only does the club have archives of the crimes the organization did, but it also still keeps track of any recent developments.”
“I even have a connection to the international police force. I know that there recently has been an incident involving an escapee. I will make sure they believe me.”
....
After Qi Yeli left the Qi Corporation and was about to get back into his car, he heard a girl near him make a call, “Leader Yan, has Zhou Qi, the recently escaped prisoner, been taken care of?”
Qi Yeli and Mo Ran exchanged glances. They knew better than anyone else who Zhou Qi was.
They then decided to sneakily follow the two.
Dai Yixin pretended like she didn’t notice them as she walked on, “How about the other criminals from the lab? No irregularities?”
“You better keep a tight eye on them! Don’t make another mistake! You won’t be this lucky next time.”
“I don’t want to expose myself. For three years, I’ve been trying to protect myself. At the end of the day, it was mostly thanks to the police team that we caught everyone.”
Qi Yeli and Mo Ran were pretty certain about her ident.i.ty at this point.
They exchanged glances again and blocked Dai Yixin’s way.
When Dai Yixin saw the pair, her expression turned nervous.
As she hung up the phone, she pretended to click some b.u.t.tons on her phone.
Then, she cautiously asked the two, “What do you two want?”
Qi Yeli said, “National hero, we’ve been looking for you for a long time!”
Dai Yixin was fl.u.s.tered but she tried to hide it, “I don’t know what you mean.” Then, she tried to walk away from the two.
“Stop hiding it. We heard what you said on the phone. Weren’t you calling team leader Yan Feng?” Mo Ran asked.
“I don’t know what you’re saying. What Yan Feng? What call?”
Dai Yixin pa.s.sed the two her cell.
“I have no Yan Feng in my contact list. I didn’t make a call either. See.”
So she refused to admit this? The more she acted this way, the more convinced they were that she was the national hero.”
