"I just came to bring you some food and chat with you, to talk about my suspicions. You can respond or not, just listen to what I have to say."
Lingzi didn't answer. She chose not to eat the sushi, even though she was very tempted, because she feared it might be poisoned.
"You're from Dao Country, and so is Mei Tian Sha Zi. Do you both come from the same organization?"
Lingzi didn't answer.
"Who says I'm her sister? Nan Qiao, don't think you can guess anything just by rambling. I'll say it again, if you want to kill or torture me, do as you please."
Lingzi coldly replied, "Nan Qiao, you don't need to waste your efforts trying to get me to talk. I'll give you four words: no comment."
Nan Qiao ignored her words and continued talking to herself: "It seems my second uncle and aunt have quite a special relationship with you! You folks from Dao Country sure know how to play. Let me guess, what exactly is the relationship between the three of you."
"Shut up!" Lingzi shouted.
As she lifted her head, she saw a necklace.
The swinging of the pendant made Lingzi's gaze gradually glaze over.
"What have you done to me..." Lingzi's voice grew weaker and weaker.
The weak voice indicated her current state wasn't good.
The image of Nan Qiao in front of her began to blur into doubles. Lingzi tried to shake off the blurring vision but couldn't and was forced to close her eyes.
Nan Qiao entered into hypnotism mode.
"What is your relationship with Mei Tian Sha Zi?"
Nan Qiao was somewhat surprised and continued to ask: "What is your relationship with Li Tianyi?"
Lingzi didn't respond immediately as she did before and fell into silence.
Nan Qiao asked again, but Lingzi still didn't answer.
Just as Nan Qiao was about to switch questions, Lingzi burst into a wild laugh.
"Nan Qiao, I didn't expect you could hypnotize! Sorry, but I can too!"
Nan Qiao was stunned, not expecting Lingzi to also be able to hypnotize and manage to evade her hypnosis.
"But you're quite impressive, managing to trap me in your web. You've really got some skills! It's a pity you're my enemy. If we were teammates, working together, you'd gain more than you have now. How about considering it? Shall I take you back to the organization?"
Nan Qiao fell into silence, doubting her own hypnotism skills.
How could it fail, she wondered perplexedly.
"You can think it over, answer me when you've decided."
Nan Qiao stood up, and as Lingzi was in a daze, her hand was re-handcuffed.
After doing this, Nan Qiao grabbed Lingzi's chin.
Lingzi was forced to open her big mouth, and Nan Qiao picked up a mini flashlight from the table, seeing a piece of blade hidden in Lingzi's mouth.
"No wonder you weren't hypnotized by me; you relied on self-harm methods!"
Lingzi never expected Nan Qiao to see through the blade she hid in her mouth, making her reevaluate Nan Qiao.
The level of vigilance is so high, what is Nan Qiao's background?
Nan Qiao dislocated Lingzi's jaw, put on gloves, took out the blade from her mouth, and checked if there was any poison hidden in her teeth.
Lingzi couldn't speak, her furious eyes fixed on Nan Qiao, with thoughts of killing her.
Nan Qiao ignored Lingzi's emotions, confirmed there was no poison in her mouth, repositioned her jaw, and removed the gloves.
"Next, let's try my hypnotism again!"
Nan Qiao gave a cunning smile and began to hypnotize Lingzi.
Soon, Lingzi fell asleep again, and Nan Qiao started the hypnosis.
However, none of Nan Qiao's questions got any response from Lingzi, as she fell into a deep sleep.
Nan Qiao sensed something was off and went out to talk to Li Yehan about the situation.
At this moment, Zheng Qinnian and Wan Sang also arrived, concerning Lingzi's matter.
"Qiaoqiao, I recalled those worms. After Professor Zheng and I conducted experiments, we found that the worms could control the host's behavior. It must be because of this that Lingzi fell into dormancy."
Zheng Qinnian: "What Wan Sang said is also my thought. The worms' capabilities are far beyond our imagination. We can take Lingzi to the lab to check if she has the same worms inside."
The returned Director Nie and Song Jiamin, upon learning the situation, agreed with Zheng Qinnian's idea.
However, he needed to report to his superiors.
"Wait a moment, I'll make a call to report the situation." If those above disagreed, he couldn't make decisions.
"Yes, Director Nie, please go report the situation, and quickly take Lingzi to the lab for examination." Song Jiamin hurriedly urged.
She also wanted to know the truth.
Director Nie immediately went to request directions from the superiors while everyone waited for his good news.
Nan Qiao wanted to say something, but Director Nie had already gone.
Li Yehan saw something was wrong with Nan Qiao and pulled her aside to ask: "Do you have connections here too?"
Nan Qiao raised an eyebrow, smiling broadly: "Take a guess."
"Qiaoqiao, can't you even tell me?"
"Of course I can." Nan Qiao extended her finger, beckoning to Li Yehan with her finger.
Li Yehan leaned closer, offering his side for Nan Qiao to whisper into his ear.
Song Jiamin came out, just started calling "Qiao," and saw the two of them getting close and whispering to each other.
Song Jiamin felt awkward and embarrassed: "Sorry, I didn't see anything."
Nan Qiao laughed as she walked over: "Did Director Nie ask? What did the leader say?"
Song Jiamin's expression fell instantly, full of helplessness: "The leader didn't agree, saying they were afraid of other mistakes. Director Nie is furious inside, and despite our persuasion, he's about to start cursing."
Nan Qiao: "Go in and tell Director Nie to get the paperwork ready, and we'll take Lingzi away later."
Nan Qiao walked aside with her phone, leaving Song Jiamin puzzled.
"Qiaoqiao, I..." This text is hosted at novel⸺fire.net
Before Song Jiamin could finish her sentence, Li Yehan interrupted her and said, "Do as Qiaoqiao says."
Song Jiamin was momentarily stunned, seeing Nan Qiao making a call and suddenly understanding something.
"Okay, I'll go tell Director Nie." Song Jiamin quickly walked back.
Director Nie patted, his progressively balding head, excitedly slapping his thigh.
"I knew Nan Qiao could do it!"
"Director Nie, you're not angry anymore?"
"Why would I be angry? I'm pleased. Qiaoqiao helped me a lot!"
Director Nie chuckled, growing happier as he laughed.
Zheng Qinnian also hadn't expected Nan Qiao to have connections here as well; no wonder she's Nan Qiao.
Wan Sang looked around, realizing this was the National Security Bureau, couldn't help but admire greatly.
Since meeting Nan Qiao, it felt like she had opened the door to a new world, encountering many unexpected things.
The latest lab equipment, various connections, and money.
Lab equipment costs a lot, and connections are definitely needed.
Wan Sang knew she was lucky to be working with Nan Qiao!
