"Let's go to the World Serpent. There are still experiments to do, but we need to go there first..."

Chapter Fifty-Three: A Habit Unchanged for Ten Years

World Snake Technology Company announced today that all employees would be on holiday, leaving only a few people who were required to stay at their posts inside the company building. Mebius instructed Yaqing to park his car in the company parking lot.

"The company building is quite big. It seems that World Serpent has been developing quite well in recent years." Ya Qing held a cup of milk tea and carried several other cups of milk tea in her hand.

Mebius, also holding a cup of milk tea, took small sips, swallowed a mouthful of pearls, and then said, "Isn't this all thanks to you, the big investor behind the scenes?"

"Don't say that. I only invested a sum when I graduated back then, and now it's been seven or eight years. World Serpent's development still depends on yourselves." Ya Qing didn't care at all about the initial investment. To him, it was just a share of the company's profits for less than a quarter.

Yaqing and Mebius swiped their cards to enter the company building. While waiting for the elevator, the two little tails who had been following them finally arrived at the company building by taxi.

Kevin, hiding in the lawn, held up two small branches and asked疑惑地问道, "A date at the company, does that have some special meaning?"

Looking at Kevin's silly appearance, Mei sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Kevin, are you... pretending?"

Kevin coughed a few times, tossed aside the small twig in his hand, and said seriously, "Mei, should we continue?"

“How can we follow them? There are surveillance cameras everywhere, and Mebius must have taken Yaqing to the lab, which only has one elevator.” Mei gave up. She was most familiar with the company, so she knew that if she continued to follow, she would definitely be discovered.

"Sigh." Kevin sighed, seemingly still quite unwilling.

As Yaqing and Mebius stepped into the elevator, strangely, the elevator did not go up, but went down until it reached the third basement level.

Möbius's laboratory was on the third basement level, which was at her own request. In Möbius's words, she didn't want anyone to disturb her experiments.

In the laboratory on the third basement level, a young woman in a white lab coat sat at a table, nodding incessantly. Her heavy dark circles suggested she might suddenly fall asleep. Three bowls of instant noodles were weighed down by books on the table. Beside her, the boisterous twin girls were fast asleep, slumped over the lab table.

"Ding."

The sound of a card being swiped rang out. The girl in the white JK skirt rubbed her eyes and yawned. "Ha~, is it already evening? Senior Klein, have you made our instant noodles yet?"

The girl in the white dress nudged the girl in the black JK skirt who looked exactly like her, and the girl in the black dress slowly woke up.

"Ugh... instant noodles, instant noodles!" Klein frantically lifted the books that were pressing down on the instant noodles, but unfortunately the noodles were already mushy and the boiling water he poured in was now ice cold.

"This shouldn't be edible... right?" Danzhu leaned closer, looking at the instant noodles that had been soaking for who knows how many hours and had cooled down.

"Let's not eat it. Let's make three more bowls." For safety's sake, Cang Xuan didn't want to end up in the hospital again due to food poisoning.

"Cough cough cough." Mebius looked at them, her lips twitching. She had survived in the same way, so why did it seem to an outsider that she was abusing her employees?

"PhD!"

Attracted by the coughing sound, the two sisters, Klein and Cangxuan Danzhu, noticed Mebius standing at the door and quickly went to greet him, while curiously looking at the man beside Mebius.

Few people could enter Mebius's lab to begin with, let alone men. The women working in the lab had only seen the three doctors from World Serpent, or corporate slaves who came specifically to deliver supplies but actually wanted to see someone, specifically Kevin.

"I understand, Doctor, these are the guinea pigs you found again!" Danzhu was listless, but his eyes were full of wisdom.

Yaqing looked at Mebius strangely. First, she abused her employees, and then she used people as guinea pigs. She felt that her senior was more dangerous than when she was in the academy.

Mebius could tell what Ya Qing was thinking just by looking at his eyes. He snorted coldly, "Hmph, those were all volunteers who came to participate in the experiment. I didn't force them."

Mebius whirled his head sharply, his long, flowing, light green hair brushing against Yaqing's face. The fragrant scent of shampoo tickled Yaqing's nose.

Danzhu scratched his head, somewhat confused. "Did I say something wrong?"

"Idiot." As the older sister, Cang Xuan tapped Dan Zhu's head lightly, which made Dan Zhu glare at her angrily.

"Hello, my name is Yaqing Shaniat. I am Dr. Möbius's junior and also his roommate in Golden Courtyard." In front of outsiders, Yaqing always tries to act like a gentleman, even though that doesn't make the other person feel good about him.

Perhaps out of instinct as a lab assistant, Cang Xuan did not take Ya Qing's outstretched hand.

Danzhu, on the other hand, got excited and grabbed Yaqing's hands. "So you're that great director! I'm a fan of yours. I loved your movie 'The Redemption of the Saint' when I was in elementary school. Please, you have to sign it for me!"

Yaqing was initially quite happy to hear that the other person was her fan, but when she heard about that unlucky piece of work, her smile instantly froze, and she even wanted to pull her hand away.

Girl, I can't agree with your taste.

However, as a gentleman, Yaqing did not say it aloud, nor would he offend a lady, and reluctantly signed his name for Danzhu.

"You're the director of the Destiny?" Cang Xuan suddenly realized what was happening, his eyes turning into coin-shaped pupils. Fortunately, Dan Zhu pulled him back in time.

"Ha...ha, I brought you a gift." Unable to understand the thought process of the people under Mebius's command, Yaqing had no choice but to awkwardly change the subject and put the milk tea that Mebius had asked him to buy on the table.

"It's milk tea! Senior sister, come quick, there's milk tea to drink!" Danzhu called out to Klein, who was almost asleep.

Klein dazedly took the milk tea and muttered to herself, "It's milk tea, that's great... I can work for a few more hours now."

"Klein, it's been a long time," Yaqing said with a smile.

Speaking of Klein, she could be considered his junior. However, when Klein enrolled, he was already a senior doing an internship. It was when he returned to school for the graduation party that he first met Klein, who was following behind Möbius.

"Um... Senior Yaqing, it's been a long time." Klein's voice was very weak, as if she would run out of breath at any moment.

"Klein, how long have you been working continuously? I've told you before, you'll ruin your health if you keep working like this," Yaqing said with concern.

"It's alright, it's alright, I already slept for two hours this afternoon." Klein was enjoying the sweetness of her milk tea, but she quickly shook her head.

"Klein, you should rest." Mebius came over with a cup of instant coffee. She was also worried about Klein's health and was afraid that one day Klein would suddenly die in the laboratory.

“But the research isn’t finished yet…” Klein said weakly.

“Research?” Mebius glanced at the twin sisters. “If it weren’t for them, this research would have ended long ago.”

"Doctor, how could you say that!" Danzhu put her hands on her hips.

“That’s right, that’s right,” Cang Xuan echoed.

"Heh." Möbius sneered, "A few days ago, who was it that spilled their instant noodles, covering an entire page of important documents with broth? And who was it that was late twenty-nine days in a month, resulting in them buying milk tea twenty-nine times? Or who..."

Mebius counted on his fingers the stupid things the Cangxuan and Danzhu sisters had done. Before Mebius could finish, the twin sisters, like Sun Wukong when Tang Sanzang recited the Tightening Spell, hugged Mebius's leg.

"Doctor, please stop reading. I will never eat instant noodles before putting away the documents again." Danzhu cried, tears streaming down her face. She had done almost two-thirds of the stupid things that Möbius mentioned.

"Now I know why you guys stayed at the company." Yaqing casually opened the bottle labeled ferric phosphide, poured the powder inside into her palm, and then put it in her mouth.

This stunned Danzhu and Cangxuan, who were still putting on a tearful performance. Could ferric phosphide really be eaten?

"Why are you looking at me?" Yaqing licked the powder off her lips and laughed, "Senior, after all these years you're still obsessed with putting sugar powder in a bottle of ferric phosphide."

"Powdered sugar?!"

Danju, who had worked in Möbius’s laboratory for two or three years, had no idea that the bottle contained powdered sugar.

"Hmph." Mebius turned his head.

Chapter Fifty-Four: The Return of Gretchen's Family

After forcibly granting Klein a leave of absence, Mebius personally supervised Secretary Adrien driving Klein back to the company's accommodation area.

Mebius is indeed the kind of capitalist who should hang himself under a streetlamp, but it cannot be denied that she provides the highest welfare benefits to Klein, Cangxuan, and Danzhu among all the world snakes, with salaries nearly three times that of Kevin, this corporate slave.

It was past nine o'clock at night when they returned to the courtyard. Yaqing and Mebius cautiously and stealthily pushed open the courtyard gate, as if they were doing something wrong. Seeing that the living room was pitch black, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

"boom."

With a bang, the lights in the living room instantly turned on, and everyone in the courtyard emerged from behind the sofa, waving ceremonial cannons at the two of them, including Kevin and May.

"Welcome back!" Alicia's sweet voice carried a hint of joy.

Yaqing and Mebius were completely dumbfounded. Looking at the scene in front of them, their CPUs started spinning wildly. Even with their IQs of 160, they couldn't figure out what Alicia and the others were up to.

"Ah?"

When Alicia saw that it was Yaqing and Mebius who entered, she was completely dumbfounded.

Ya Qing silently removed the red ribbon from her face, looked at the crowd in front of her, and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "It's only been a few hours, there's no need to be so excited, is there?"

"Uh..." Kevin and May exchanged a glance. Oh no, they had forgotten about Yaqing and Mebius. Neither of them remembered them and they thought they wouldn't be coming back tonight.

"So, who are you planning to welcome?" Mebius removed the ribbon stuck to her hair.

“Uh…” Sakura awkwardly pointed behind the two of them.

Mebius turned around.

At the entrance to the courtyard, the woman looked at Möbius with a smile, wearing a white dress and exuding a gentle temperament. Her light blue, shoulder-length hair embraced Möbius.

"Doctor, we're back from our trip to North America."

"Blanca!" A hint of surprise flashed in Mebius's beautiful eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Brother Yaqing." Little Gretchen ran out from behind Blanca and opened her arms to Yaqing.

No one could resist little Gretchen's desire for a hug, at least not Ya Qing. Picking up little Gretchen, Ya Qing smiled and said, "Little Gretchen, it's been so long, have you missed your brother?"

"I've been thinking about it~" Little Greta nuzzled against Yaqing's face.

"Little Gretchen, have you missed your sister Mebius?" Hearing Gretchen call Yaqing "brother," Mebius also came over and automatically changed her address from "aunt" to "sister."

“I miss you too, Grandma Mebius.” Little Gretchen’s voice was sweet, and her smile was incredibly comforting.

But Mebius's smile gradually disappeared, and her beautiful eyes turned murderous as she looked at a certain pink fairy lady.

The culprit didn't dare look the victim in the eye, whistling and pretending not to know anything, as he took small steps closer and pinched little Greta's chubby cheeks.

"Um, Sister Alicia..."
