Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

Jiang Heng turned to the side and ruffled his hair. Feeling the prickling sensation in his palm, he chuckled, "I'll let you off this time."

The sensation on her head quickly dissipated, but the tingling feeling that went straight to her bones continued to stimulate Lan's cerebral cortex. Her hands, hanging on her knees, clenched and unclenched, and she wanted to rub her head to dispel the feeling, but she resisted in the end.

886 scratches its belly, "Why does it feel like the host has acquired another big dog?"

After the treatment device was removed, Jiang Heng looked at his palm and saw that there wasn't a single red mark. His thoughts drifted for a second; could this be used in certain situations?

The team members outside the research room were all staring nervously at the tightly closed door.

"Why are you using a therapy device now?"

"Did the boss beat someone up?"

Even Wang Yan was a little worried. Could something have happened to Dr. Jiang? But since he didn't hear any alarms coming from inside the house, it shouldn't be that bad... right?

Looking at these stinky men in front of her, Wen Lin's first reaction was also that the boss should beat them up, but if these roughnecks thought the same way, then she would have to find another way.

She recalled the scene on the warship when Lan abducted Jiang Heng, her fingers rubbing her chin, her brows furrowed tightly, then suddenly relaxed. Ah, she understood, just a little playful banter between lovers! A love-hate relationship at that, she was hooked!

The two people in the lab were unaware of what the outside world thought of them. At that moment, Jiang Heng projected a map of the research institute onto the light screen and pointed to the second basement level.

"The problem lies here. I've been thinking these past few days about whether I can secretly install surveillance cameras."

Lan went through the map, several plans flashing through her mind. She ultimately decided that it was safer to have Jiang Heng handle it. But what if they were discovered…?

"Prioritize your own safety."

Jiang Heng placed two fingers together on her forehead, feigning seriousness, and said, "Okay, Captain Lan."

Lan's lips curled into a slight smile; he would leave the rest to him.

Before leaving the research lab, Jiang Heng called the person back again.

"Lan, I hope that next time we meet, you will have begun to trust me."

Lan glanced back at him. "I hope so."

The door opened, revealing a large group of people outside. Their gazes immediately turned to the doorway, glancing at Lan and then at Jiang Heng. Seeing that the two didn't seem to have any disagreements, they became even more curious. So why were they using the treatment device?

Wen Lin's gaze swept over Jiang Heng from head to toe like an X-ray, paying particular attention to his lips and neck. Suddenly, she realized that even if something had happened, the treatment device had already destroyed the evidence. Damn it!

Jiang Heng glanced at Wen Lin with a strange look in her eyes.

886 instantly understood Wen Lin's gaze; they were kindred spirits!

As the group left the research institute building, Lan suddenly stopped, and the people behind her stopped as well. What was going on?

Lan chuckled softly, her tone helpless, "Little liar."

The idea that research lab surveillance can be viewed at any time is a lie.

Wen Lin watched the man continue walking forward, her heart itching with curiosity. What was going on?

A month later, Jiang Heng, having successfully broken through the new mechanical fusion barrier, was taken by Li Tianming to the second basement level of the research institute. Before entering this level, they underwent rigorous checks layer by layer to ensure they were not carrying anything unnecessary.

Jiang Heng couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had 886 to help her.

"Jiang Heng, technological progress inevitably requires the sacrifice of some people. They will be proud of their contributions."

In the observation room on the second basement floor, separated by a layer of blast-proof glass, Jiang Heng looked at the experimental subjects inside, who were almost unrecognizable as human, and a fierce glint flashed in her eyes.

He understood Li Tianming's words. These people weren't acting voluntarily, but he had to accept this situation. This wasn't the end, but the beginning. If he couldn't accept it, the second basement level wouldn't accommodate him.

"Tongtong, record all these images."

The two continued walking deeper into the area, and just as they reached the next observation room, they encountered a group of five people.

"Li Tianming, is this the person you want to bring into the research group?"

The person in the lead looked to be about the same age as Li Tianming, and probably of the same rank, otherwise he wouldn't have addressed him by his name so directly.

However, this person and Li Tianming didn't seem to get along well; Jiang Heng couldn't ignore the disdainful look in his eyes.

"Yes. This is my student, Jiang Heng."

Li Tianming looked at Jiang Heng and said, "Jiang Heng, this is Liang Shichang from the second research group, the group leader."

No wonder, Li Tianming is the leader of Group 1, and he is in competition with Group 2. It's normal for the other side to dislike him.

"Jiang Heng, right? These two are my students, so they're your senior brothers and sisters. You can exchange ideas when you have time."

Liang Shichang gestured to the man and woman behind him. Upon hearing this, the two turned their gazes toward Jiang Heng at the same time, tilting their heads slightly to one side as if they were twitching uncontrollably.

"Liang Yin".

"Chu Mo".

Jiang Heng subtly observed the two people, feeling a sense of disharmony between them. It wasn't obvious, but it made him instinctively repel them.

Once the two groups had completely separated, Li Tianming snorted coldly, his expression filled with deep dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong with the teacher?"

Li Tianming led him toward the project team, sneering, "This guy is a scoundrel. Jiang Heng, you should be wary of him. Try to ignore his two students if possible."

"Teacher, I think Liang Yin and Chu Mo seem a bit strange, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

"You've got a pretty sharp eye, kid."

Upon entering the project team office, Jiang Heng saw two middle-aged men already waiting inside. One of them was particularly thin, with bloodshot eyes and dark circles under his eyes, clearly the result of several days of staying up late.

"Dr. Li, is this the new member?"

The man stared intently at Jiang Heng, his eyes gleaming, as if he were looking at a cheap laborer.

The slightly burly man next to him patted his arm, then looked at Jiang Heng apologetically, "I'm Li Cheng, and this is Lu Ming. He's a research fanatic, so please don't mind him."

Jiang Heng nodded, quite pleased. That Lu Ming clearly had his mind entirely on research; his brain couldn't hold anything else, he was easy to fool.

Once the three of them had gotten to know each other, Li Tianming continued the previous topic.

"Liang Shichang's two students were used as research subjects by him. They always wrapped themselves up tightly, and I don't know what they've become."

Recalling the awkward postures of the two men earlier, Jiang Heng reasonably suspected that their brains had been manipulated, and perhaps Liang Shichang was also researching mechanical heads.

Who exactly is making them research these things?

He began to question the original plot's reason for "expanding the size of the special operations department." Recalling what Li Tianming had said before, he was now more inclined to believe that someone was using the research institute to conduct inhumane research for their own selfish purposes.

"Master, please help me find out who in the upper echelons of the Empire is elderly, holds real power, and is in poor health. Please provide me with a detailed list."

"Investigate them all immediately."

As expected, Li Tianming brought Jiang Heng into the research group to have him participate in the research on the mechanical head. Fortunately, they haven't started harming living people yet, otherwise he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't immediately blow up the research institute and follow Lan's old path in the original story.

Meanwhile, on the desolate star, Lan had already successfully infiltrated with her men in disguise. Whether Jiang Heng was telling the truth or not, this time they would find out.
