Chapter 551: 301 Who is he in the end? (Third update)

Because of the sudden appearance of the micro-robotic insect, Fang Yuxin couldn’t help but start to question the true identity of its owner. She wasn’t very clear at what stage the various countries were at in their research on micro-robots. To her, the micro-robotic insect in front of her eyes seemed too intricate, and it didn’t look like something that could be achieved with current technological means, which inevitably made her wonder about its origin.

Rather than believing this micro-robotic insect was secretly developed by a state science academy, she was more inclined to believe it came from a higher-level civilization. Given that she had the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion and Fang Mengyao had some kind of special ability, could there be someone else who had also obtained an incredible ace up their sleeve?

As for who that person could be—Fang Yuxin subconsciously thought of Zhao Qiankun!

This person gave her an excessively strange feeling, and the vague sense of superiority he exuded made her feel very familiar. Hadn’t Fang Mengyao always carried herself in that manner in her previous life?

Moreover, Zhao Qiankun’s background was mysterious, and although everyone said he came from humble origins, nobody could clearly explain his real background. This person was like someone who had appeared out of nowhere, unavoidably making one suspicious.

The others in the Fang family didn’t think as much about it. They also all knew that many countries were working on researching micro-robots, so although they found the craftsmanship of this insect extraordinary, they just assumed that someone had already developed it and were using it to surveil them.

But Fang Yuxin was different. Although she was young, she had already experienced the impossible events of rebirth and transmigration and had even obtained the Cultivation Spiritual Mansion. So she knew that it was very likely that there were some unfathomable entities in this world. For example, her Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, Fang Mengyao’s mysterious ace, and the micro-robotic insect before her eyes.

With a suspect in mind, investigating became much easier. She had already sealed the insect, so she wasn’t worried about Zhao Qiankun—or rather, its owner behind the scenes—using it to surveil them anymore. Therefore, Fang Yuxin quickly put it into a small box, and asked Fang Jintang and the others, "Dad, Mom, and brother, what else do you all know about Zhao Qiankun? Can you tell me everything?"

The three weren’t fools; they understood her implication immediately. Fang Yuyang said directly, "Xinxin, you suspect this micro-robotic insect is related to Zhao Qiankun?" He frowned slightly, "His research institute has indeed invented quite a few things. The communicators they are using now are developed by his research institute, as are the blood test strips used at the entrance of the base."

As he spoke, he himself felt that something was off. Zhao Qiankun was said to be from a grass-roots background, so how exactly did he charm so many researchers into joining him? Compared with him, the Bai Family, the Qu Family, and the Qin Family were all deeply rooted major clans in Beishi City. Besides these three, there were also many other families, each with backgrounds and resources far more substantial than Zhao Qiankun’s. Why had he been able to poach so many researchers?

Fang Yuxin’s frown deepened; she had just realized that the communicator in her hand was actually associated with Zhao Qiankun! That made her extremely uncomfortable. Looking at the communicator, she couldn’t help but recall Zhao Qiankun’s face and that faintly condescending attitude.

Therefore, she directly took off the communicator from her wrist, deciding to use it as little as possible in the future—who knows if Zhao Qiankun had tampered with it? Her action prompted the other members of the Fang family to also quickly remove their communicators and toss them aside, all concerned about potentially falling victim to Zhao Qiankun’s schemes.

Bai Qianqian followed suit. He had originally planned to send a message to Bai Ye but hesitated, then decided not to. If the communicator had indeed been tampered with by Zhao Qiankun, wouldn’t that mean he would know if Bai Qianqian messaged Bai Ye?

Bai Qianqian huffed softly; he wasn’t foolish!

However, at that moment, Fang Yuxin couldn’t help but laugh. She clenched her fist and gently tapped her own head, then told the others, "I’m being too sensitive. This device is quite convenient, and there’s no need to stop using it just because of Zhao Qiankun. Moreover, ever since this type of communicator entered the market, people from other powers must have taken it back for analysis. If it had really been tampered with, those people would definitely know. Zhao Qiankun isn’t a fool, he wouldn’t do something that risks drawing such scrutiny."
