Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

Now, even 886's not-so-bright brain understood what Lan meant.

The military was contacted at 8:00 AM. Considering the time for communication and data transmission, it was impossible for them to arrive at the news building and rescue center in thirteen minutes. Unless the world has developed a method of teleportation.

In other words, the military had already been monitoring these two locations during the news broadcast, or perhaps even earlier.

The message Lan delivered to them was like a pillow being handed to someone who was already sleepy.

What the other side didn't know was that from the hijacking of the starship to the sudden revelation this morning that criminals from A-01 were active on Misa Star, it was all Lan's doing. Now, Lan is the one manipulating the situation.

"Today, Elder Min kept steering me toward the idea that General Ji has a problem."

Although it was subtle and seemed like a casual remark, it still made Lan anxious.

"Old Master Min, this is..."

Wen Lin and the others were shocked. If Elder Min also had problems, then the military was likely to undergo a major upheaval.

"Now we're just waiting for Yaoming's side."

Qin Yaoming is now on his way to A-01. Once he controls the Tu Nan line, everything will become much clearer.

As for the research institute, we'll have to rely on Jiang Heng. Right now, we can't find an opportunity to infiltrate the institute, partly to avoid alerting them.

Lan looked at the person beside him with concern. He was really worried about leaving Jiang Heng alone in the research institute to investigate the truth.

The hand resting on his knee was patted, the two metal palms clashing together with a crisp sound. Lan looked down and saw that the little robot had somehow appeared beside him, now looking at him with its round eyes.

"I will protect Jiang Heng."

Lan smiled and gently shook the little robot's hand, which was several sizes smaller than hers, up and down a few times.

"Then please."

Wen Lin stood by, oblivious to the fact that she wanted to have such an adorable robot too!

“Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng.” Wenjie squatted down on the sofa next to Jiang Heng, his eyes shining as he stared at 886. “Can I take this robot apart? I think its intelligence level far surpasses any robot on the market.”

"You'll have to ask it yourself. It's not my possession, it's my... family."

Jiang Heng watched as 886, wearing a robot shell, gripped Lan's mechanical arm and studied it for a long time, her expression becoming increasingly gentle. It's so good to have this little guy in the world.

Wenjie, being so stubborn, actually asked 886 if he could take it apart. 886 was so scared that he hid his head under Lan's palm.

Jiang Heng found it amusing; it had probably forgotten that this robot was merely a temporary shell for it.

"Should I take you apart too?"

Lan stared at Wenjie with an expressionless face, until Wenjie raised his hand to beg for mercy, "I was out of my mind, I was talking nonsense."

After everyone left, he gently patted 886's head, speaking in a soft tone as if coaxing a child, "No one dares to mess with you."

886 realized as soon as it hid under Lan's grasp that this body could be dismantled at will, and it could replace it with whichever one it wanted. A little embarrassed, it could only continue clinging to Lan. Fortunately, the other party responded immediately.

886 announces that Lan is now its second favorite human in this world. Sorry, Sister Wenlin, you'll be third now.

Because it was too late, Jiang Heng stayed in Lan's lounge tonight and would go directly from the base to the research institute tomorrow morning.

When Lan reminded Jiang Heng for the third time to prioritize her own safety, Jiang Heng flipped over and pinned him down.

Lan's voice suddenly stopped, and her pupils dilated slightly.

"Captain Lan, we've been talking about business all day, shouldn't we talk about something else now?"

"What else?"

Lan's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice slightly hoarse. Looking into Jiang Heng's smiling eyes, he felt as if his soul was about to sink into them. How could someone be so different when they were smiling and when they weren't? He felt like he was about to drown in that smile.

"Let's talk about... things that adults should talk about."

The last syllables faded into the kiss, and the heat seeping into her clothes seemed like a signal. Lan's eyes deepened. He placed one hand behind Jiang Heng's head and the other on her waist, applying slight pressure, and the two switched positions. Jiang Heng's unique, refreshing scent became even more pronounced in their nostrils.

886, who was secretly watching a show in the lounge, suddenly felt a blackout and stared blankly at his surroundings, breaking down in a second.

"Damn it! Why am I in the dark room again?! Who did I bother by watching a show?! You damn 001, you just wait!"

The next morning, Jiang Heng almost couldn't get out of bed. He was wrong, really. He shouldn't have thought Lan Chunqing was right. He hadn't gained the upper hand from beginning to end. This guy's usual easy-to-bully demeanor was all an act, just to mislead him.

Lan fetched the soothing medicine and held it to his lips, her gaze lingering on the marks below his collarbone, gradually growing intense. He traced the marks with his index finger, and just as he was about to move further down, Jiang Heng grabbed his mischievous hand.

"Did Captain Lan forget that I have to go to the research institute today?"

Lan withdrew his hand and looked away. "I haven't forgotten." He just couldn't help being drawn in.

"I haven't forgotten why you didn't restrain yourself last night."

Jiang Heng poked his lower abdomen, making him bend over. After drinking the soothing potion, he felt he could get back to his old self; this guy was definitely only fun to tease when he was off the bed.

"I've already been restrained enough."

Lan felt a little wronged. He remembered that Jiang Heng had to go to the research institute today and had already planned to let him go, but this person insisted on tempting him. However, he dared not say this, after all, this was a perk, and if he said it, he might not get it next time.

Jiang Heng got up and stepped off the ground, smiling as she hooked his chin, like a playboy, "Then next time let me see what it's like when Captain Lan doesn't restrain himself."

After saying that, he turned to leave the room, but was pulled into someone's arms. "We need to collect some interest first."

After the two came out of the room, 886 finally came out of the dark room and launched into a series of complaints at Jiang Heng.

"When did you return to the consciousness space?" Didn't you secretly ask Lan for a personal terminal last night, saying you wanted to watch a show?

"You guys were having sex when I was teleported back, passively! I had just turned on the TV when I was teleported back."

Jiang Heng was surprised; she'd never heard of such a thing. 886 said he'd highlight this bug, bold it, and put it at the very beginning of his report!

After being coaxed by Jiang Heng for a couple more times, her mood finally improved, and she happily followed Jiang Heng to the research institute. Meanwhile, the robot's body was put back into the space folder.

The atmosphere on the second basement floor of the research institute had been oppressive all morning. Jiang Heng entered Li Tianming's office and saw him operating the personal computer with a gloomy face. Lu Ming and Li Cheng, sitting to the side, also had sour faces, especially Lu Ming, who looked as if someone had dug up his ancestral grave.

"What happened?"

Jiang Heng leaned forward and asked in a low voice. Lu Ming complained to him like a flood of beans, "They were supposed to send a batch of research samples in a while, but now we suddenly received news that they're not coming. This is the second time. If this continues, when will we be able to officially start the experiment?"

"This is the second time? Where did you find this person? How can they be so untrustworthy?"

"Exactly! A bunch of good-for-nothings, they just don't want to leave A..."

"Stop talking." Before Lu Ming could finish speaking, Li Cheng interrupted, "The teacher is already annoyed enough."

Jiang Heng glanced at Li Cheng and saw that he was frowning and looking in Li Tianming's direction. She was unsure whether he was genuinely worried about Li Tianming or just didn't want her to know the source of the research samples.
