Once upon a time—
Legend had it that on the border plateau of the Eastern Land, there lay hidden a "time tunnel" that could lead to another dimension (perhaps a higher dimension).
20 years ago.
Li Xiao suspected that the mysterious 209 might be related to this legend, having come from that tunnel.
If others couldn't find the tunnel, perhaps he could.
And so.
On a certain day 20 years ago, Li Xiao brought Li Wujiang and specifically went to the border plateau.
At that time.
Li Xiao indeed felt a mysterious and terrifying call.
The voice that was calling him was none other than Ji Ya, who had long since vanished.
Ji Ya's voice was guiding Li Xiao to search for the legendary time tunnel!
However.
Just as Li Xiao's eyes began to glaze over, about to follow the voice, Li Wujiang noticed something was wrong.
Li Wujiang was terrified.
He frantically grabbed Li Xiao and fled the border plateau at the fastest speed possible.
A full 20 years had passed.
Li Wujiang had long forgotten about that incident.
Now—
When Meng Yue mentioned that frogs carrying something within them lived on the border plateau, Li Wujiang immediately remembered this incident.
He remembered the legendary time tunnel.
He remembered the voice that called out to Li Xiao across time and space.
And he even thought about why the experts of the dark web were doing the frog jump!
Could those aliens (frogs) have escaped from the legendary time tunnel?
Li Wujiang trembled at this thought.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Yue, unaware of any of this, saw the fear in Li Wujiang's eyes and quickly waved his hand in front of her.
"Ah!"
Li Wujiang came to and quickly shook her head: "It's nothing, just thinking about the past. Oh, right. Do you mean that if all those aliens are monopolized by International Ruixue, we won't be able to produce that special medicine?"
If she didn't say it.
Meng Yue naturally wouldn't pry.
He smiled: "Theoretically, yes. Besides acquiring the monopolized aliens at an extremely high price, we also have to bypass International Ruixue's technological barrier."
Li Wujiang immediately realized something: "What if it's not theoretical?"
Meng Yue, however, looked thoughtful and answered irrelevantly: "I suspect that Qianfan's cub might have some mysterious connection with those frogs on the border plateau."
Bang!
Li Wujiang suddenly slammed his hand on the table and retorted loudly: "Nonsense! How could my son have anything to do with some frogs?"
Meng Yue was startled.
"Hey, why are you so anxious? I'm just suspecting. Alright, alright, I won't suspect anymore."
Seeing that Li Wujiang was about to short-circuit again, Meng Yue quickly raised his hands in surrender.
He said at a rapid pace: "Bring Qianfan's cub to me. I want to slice and study him. Using his unique, primitive 209, which he carries within himself, to bypass International Ruixue's technological barrier, manufacture our own special medicine. And, create a mutated red-eye disease."
Slice my son?
Li Wujiang—
Meng Yue kicked gently at Wujiang's feet.
He exclaimed with admiration: "I really didn't expect you to come up with a way to create a new red-eye disease to deal with those bandits. Tsk tsk. Li Wujiang, you are truly as beautiful as a flower and as venomous as a snake. But I like it!"
"Holy crap."
Li Wujiang swore, about to say that it was Su Nanyin's idea, but quickly changed his mind: "How long will it take to research and develop the new red-eye disease?"
"Make a call."
Meng Yue pushed his phone to Li Wujiang: "Have Qianfan's cub come to Meng Ma quickly."
Buzz buzz buzz—
As Li Qianfan's phone vibrated, Jiao Meinu was busily working for him.
Young Master Li was not the kind of scumbag who, after accepting a top beauty like Jiao Yin, would immediately go into the real thing!
After marrying Su Ziyu, he still had more than a year of adjustment period.
Let alone Jiao Yin?
No matter how beautiful she was, and shamelessly sought his love, Li Qianfan always held the line.
At most—
When Sister Wujiang's call popped up happily on his phone screen, the young master was startled!
He was genuinely startled—
After a long while, he sighed and picked up the phone.
He patted Jiao Yin on the back of her head, signaling her to leave.
Jiao Yin really wanted to stay and hear what Li Qianfan and Sister Wujiang were talking about.
But she dared not hesitate and immediately got up, covered her mouth with her hand, and quickly walked out of the bedroom.
"Sister Wujiang, why are you calling me so early? Aren't you afraid I'll be sleep-deprived and it will harm my health?"
Li Qianfan yawned, rolled over, and sat up.
Li Wujiang had no time to bother with this impudent brat who always disrespected his elders.
She said concisely: "Now, immediately, right away. Come to Si Jiu at the fastest speed."
Li Qianfan was stunned for a moment.
He straightened his attitude: "Is something wrong?"
"Something very important."
Li Wujiang's answer was nonsense.
But Li Qianfan nodded: "Okay, I'll be there right away."
"Call me when you're close to Si Jiu."
Li Wujiang said, ending the call.
Although she didn't say how important it was, Li Qianfan could guess that it had something to do with the red-eye disease.
Li Qianfan put down his phone, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom.
He took a quick hot shower, dressed neatly, and walked out of the bedroom.
In the living room.
Jiao Yin, wrapped in a bathrobe, was sitting under her provocative artistic photo, staring blankly at her toes.
From time to time, she would gently purse her lips.
Reliving the past?
Who knew.
Hearing the door open, she quickly looked up: "Master."
"Lend me a car, I have an urgent matter."
Li Qianfan got straight to the point: "I'll call you when I'm going to Blackwater Forest. You don't need to worry about anything, just be ready to leave with me."
"Okay."
Jiao Yin took out a car key from under the table.
This car was her personal vehicle.
She asked: "Master, do you want me to accompany you?"
"No need."
As Li Qianfan took the car key, he playfully pinched her cheek, praising: "Good girl."
Jiao Yin immediately blushed and lowered her head: "Thank you for your praise, Master. Meinu will work harder in the future."
Roar roar—
As the little red sports car sped away from the gate of Flowing Water Pavilion, Jiao Yin turned and quickly returned to the backyard.
She leaned over the washbasin, opened her mouth wide, and gagged uncontrollably.
This was more than a hundred times stronger than morning sickness.
But she gagged for a long time without spitting anything out.
"Those who eat the bitterest of hardships can become extraordinary."
Jiao Yin looked up at the pale but still charmingly beautiful woman in the mirror and suddenly thought of this sentence.
This was a profound truth!
As soon as she understood this principle, the urge to vomit miraculously disappeared.
Uh.
Jiao Yin even burped.
Her mood also inexplicably became cheerful.
"I've already eaten the bitterest of hardships, how far am I from becoming extraordinary?"
Jiao Yin smiled charmingly at the woman in the mirror, and without even washing her face, she turned and quickly walked into the bedroom.
She sat cross-legged on the bed and picked up her phone.
Soon.
The impatient voice of the Chief President came from the phone: "Is it convenient to talk?"
"He's gone. In a hurry."
Jiao Yin also said straightforwardly: "If I'm not mistaken, he's going to Eastern Land Si Jiu. Just because they might have found the woman who was first infected with the red-eye disease there."
"So what?"
The Chief President chuckled: "Hehe, it's already three springs too late."
Jiao Yin added: "He's decided to take me to Blackwater Forest."
"Good!"
The Chief President said: "President Jiao, you've done really well. I will immediately plan the specific action plan."
Jiao Yin knew very well.
What the Chief President most wanted to know was.
She said slowly: "Madam, my sleep quality last night was still as good as ever. I fell asleep as soon as I lay down, and it felt like only a second passed before it was dawn."
"So—"
The Chief President said excitedly: "So, he does have a magical, unscientific effect on us! President Jiao, what you need to do next is to figure out. After separating from him, can you still maintain optimal sleep quality in a normal sleeping posture? If not, how long after leaving him will you have to squat to fall asleep."
The two great presidents of the dark web were on the phone.
Li Qianfan was also on the phone.
He was calling Bai Ziyan: "You can contact Du Junlin and let her act secretly and in advance. Remember! You must keep an eye on her for me. Before I arrive in England, do not act rashly."
"I'll prepare for departure immediately."
Bai Ziyan said: "As for entrusting Yaya, you should call her yourself. Don't worry, from this moment on. Besides me, no one can intercept or eavesdrop on your conversations with anyone."
"Okay."
Li Qianfan held the steering wheel with one hand, sped up again, and ended the call with Bai Ziyan.
He then called Du Junlin.
Chirp chirp chirp—
As Du Junlin's phone emitted pleasant bird chirps, she was lazily walking out of her bedroom, looking at Su Nanyin, who had returned home at dawn and was sitting on the sofa, constantly revising a plan: "Mom, you haven't slept all night?"
