Chapter 137: Chapter 136: Probe

It wasn’t long before Zhao Ling arrived at the door to Wei Tianyang’s room, appearing on the small window of the television, smiling at the camera.

When they had first met, Wei Tianyang hadn’t paid much attention to this woman. Now, with the camera zoomed in on her face, he noticed that Zhao Ling was quite a seductive woman. Her usually cold and frosty face now bore a warm smile—hard to imagine who else might receive such a greeting from her.

Wei Tianyang went to open the door. Zhao Ling had changed out of her qipao, now wearing a dark red women’s business suit on top with a proud bust and slim black trousers below, complemented with black high heels. She was clearly prepared for travel.

"Elder Gu has already told me about your situation. If you’re ready to depart, we can leave now," said Zhao Ling with a smile.

"You all are quite efficient. I’ve been in Yin Country for less than 12 hours. I thought it would take some time to look into my father’s case after 16 years," said Wei Tianyang.

"That’s how we people of Yin Country operate—swift and decisive. Once we discuss a matter, we immediately act. Moreover, the data on common folks is very comprehensive. Finding someone is far too easy," Zhao Ling said with a laugh.

Wei Tianyang looked at Yaha and said, "You wait here. I’ll handle some matters and will be back soon."

Yaha appeared to somewhat understand and tilted her head as she waved to Wei Tianyang.

"Don’t worry, our people will take care of her. The Jade Pavilion is where the royal family stays. You don’t have to worry about her safety here. If even a small issue arises in the room, our people will be on the scene promptly," said Zhao Ling.

With those words, Wei Tianyang understood that he was under strict surveillance.

Zhao Ling probably said this deliberately—to remind him not to act recklessly within Yin Country’s borders.

Putting himself in their shoes, he thought about the chaos he had caused in Wuliang City, a disaster by any measure. No nation would want to bear such a loss. Yin Country had already been very generous in agreeing to transport him to the capital, which faced the risk of being obliterated by his wrath.

He nodded, and Zhao Ling responded with a satisfied smile, with her left hand behind her back and right hand gesturing for him to follow.

After leaving the Jade Pavilion, under Zhao Ling’s guidance, Wei Tianyang took the elevator to the hotel’s parking lot.

A silver high-end sports sedan was already in place, with a man standing at the car door, respectfully dusting off his sleeves before bowing deeply to Zhao Ling.

"The battery is fully charged, and we’ve conducted a safety check. Everything is ready," he said.

"Stand up," said Zhao Ling.

The man hurriedly stepped away from the car and continued to bow his head low.

"Let’s get in the car. I’ll personally take you," Zhao Ling said with a smile.

She took out her phone, tapped it once, and the silver sports sedan’s doors slowly lifted, like the wings of a seagull.

"I thought we’d be traveling in a military vehicle," said Wei Tianyang.

"There’s not much difference. I’m the Commander of the Inner Guard, so my car is a military vehicle," Zhao Ling explained.

Once inside, the doors automatically lowered. Wei Tianyang saw Zhao Ling pull out a seat belt and fasten it across her chest, splitting her prominent bust in half. He followed suit and buckled up as well.

The car smoothly exited the parking lot along the black energy-storing road surface, the windshield’s corner showed a charging symbol, and on the driver’s side, the speed was displayed.

Although it was called the ground level, they were still hundreds of meters above the actual earth. Zhao Ling took a familiar route onto the overpass and, after a series of left and right turns, they ascended onto a spiraling highway that descended.

It took more than half an hour for them to reach street level from the towering structure, and Wei Tianyang noticed that they were using roads devoid of other vehicles.

Silence reigned between them, and after driving more than 20 kilometers, the skyscrapers became scarce, replaced by factories lining the streets and a few low-rise houses.

In the end, it was Zhao Ling who broke the silence.

"You’re not quite what I had imagined," she said.

"Appearance?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"Not... it’s the personality," Zhao Ling said.

"What did you imagine me to be like before?" Wei Tianyang asked with a smile.

"When I received your information, honestly, I was on pins and needles," Zhao Ling said. "The Emperor wanted to meet you, but I thought it wasn’t appropriate to bring you to the capital, especially after the Wuliang City incident was so... impactful. You understand, right?"

Wei Tianyang snorted and said, "That wasn’t my intention."

"I’m not trying to judge or blame you; I’m just assessing the risk. Whether intentional or not, Fengrao City does not wish to repeat the Wuliang City mistake," Zhao Ling said.

"I understand," Wei Tianyang said, looking out the window.

"There you go, you’re completely different from what I thought. I expected you to be an incredibly ostentatious, hot-tempered, arrogant, and lawless... fool," Zhao Ling said.

Wei Tianyang laughed.

"I’ve seen too many young people like that, and I’ve seen some out-of-control Superpower Special Forces. After all, it has been only 50 years since superpowers appeared in this world. It’s hard for superpower users not to see themselves as chosen ones," Zhao Ling said with a laugh.

"Mass-produced chosen ones..." Wei Tianyang said sarcastically.

"You’re more composed and reserved than I imagined, and your tone doesn’t sound like a 16 or 17-year-old child, more like a young man in his twenties," Zhao Ling said.

"You should be quite aware of my past experiences; after all, the spy satellites of the whole world are watching us, aren’t they?" Wei Tianyang said.

"You have the power to destroy an entire city. Whatever you want – money, women, status – people are willing to give you just for a nod. Yet, I don’t see that sort of lofty feeling in you," Zhao Ling said.

"1,202 lives," Wei Tianyang said.

"Huh?" Zhao Ling didn’t understand.

"1,202 lives, just to create me. It’s not that I possess this power... it possesses me. Once you know this, it’s hard to feel joy," Wei Tianyang said.

Superpower Special Forces?

They don’t know jack.

Joining the military, passing the selection, then lying on the operating table, getting injected with 100% successful Black Medicine, bam, you’re enhanced.

And the Medicine People?

"Since you know the process was so difficult, shouldn’t you celebrate your current existence even more? I could really come to your room tonight... Won’t you consider it? Even breaking me is fine~" Zhao Ling elbowed Wei Tianyang, turning to him with a coquettish smile.

"I don’t have an emotional connection with you... You’re very beautiful, and you have a great body... but... just doing it for the sake of doing it, what’s the difference from an animal?" Wei Tianyang said.

"I get it, it seems you don’t like older women," Zhao Ling said, unfazed, with a laugh.

"Say what you want..." Wei Tianyang stopped paying her attention.

"Humph~ Don’t regret it; after tonight, you won’t get another chance~" Zhao Ling said with a laugh.

The car drove onto a straight highway and after leaving the city and another half-hour passed, they exited the highway through a toll gate and came to a muddy wilderness.

In the distance, four trucks formed an outer circle, while over twenty men in suits armed with submachine guns watched over a few men kneeling on the ground with their hands tied.

"Look, there are the people you wanted, right over there," Zhao Ling said.
