Chapter 3764: The Shocking Truth Behind It
Ye Wangchuan walked into the kitchen. After a while, he walked over and changed the ice water by the girl’s hand into a cup of hot cocoa. “Drink this to warm your stomach.”
“Oh.” Seeing it was not milk, Qiao Nian took a sip. The rich fragrance of chocolate entered her mouth. The bread slices that matched her breakfast were not bad.
She finished the hot cocoa and two slices of bread. Her stomach finally felt full, but still, it felt inadequate, as if she had eaten, but also not really.
Seeing that she had lost her appetite, Qiao Nian pushed away the porcelain plate before her and leaned back in the chair. She covered her eyes with her hand, looking very tired.
Qin Si and Gu San looked at each other and saw in each other’s eyes: What should we do…
Ye Wangchuan also saw that the girl couldn’t hide her weariness. He said in a low voice, “Go back to your rooms.”
“Ah, okay.” Qin Si found a reason to quickly pull Gu San away and leave, leaving them alone.
Only Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan were left in the living room.
The girl was still covering her face, her eyes were closed, and she was leaning against the back of the chair to rest as if she couldn’t even be bothered to do anything.
Logically speaking, she should be relaxed and lazy, but she exuded a ruthlessness and tyranny that could not be concealed.
Even though she tried to control herself, Ye Wangchuan could still feel the waves hidden under her calm surface.
He could guess the reason without Qiao Nian saying anything.
“You solved the last experiment.”
Silence.
“What’s the truth?”
The girl opened her eyes and dropped her hand. Sitting up slightly, she did not look at him, leaving him with a cold side profile as she said in a hoarse voice, “You don’t want to know.”
This truth was really… nauseating.
Ye Wangchuan took her slightly cold hand and covered it. He did not force her to say anything. “Alright, when you want to tell me, I’m willing to listen anytime.”
Qiao Nian could feel the warmth coming from him flowing along her blood vessels and into her heart.
She pursed her lips, and her frozen heart softened. Her tense body relaxed as she leaned against the back of the chair. “If you want to hear it, I can tell you.”
She had never thought of hiding it from Ye Wangchuan.
At the very least, she never treated him as an outsider. As long as he wanted to hear it, there was nothing she could not say.
Without waiting for Ye Wangchuan to speak, Qiao Nian continued hoarsely, “The result of the last experiment on the USB drive was a string of Morse codes. It’s the real hidden thing.”
She tilted her head, her eyes clear and deep, revealing a bone-chilling coldness. “Have you heard of an anti-nuclear interception system?”
“Interception system?” Ye Wangchuan immediately knew what she was talking about. “I’ve heard of it.”
This system was not uncommon.
There were also some in Beijing.
It should be said that Master Cheng and the Ninth Branch had once studied similar defense systems.
Qiao Nian chuckled and said coldly, “Ji Qing has also studied this. 20 years ago, she was studying this when everyone was still obsessed with black gunpowder.
“If she only studied this, she wouldn’t be remembered by so many people. However, not only did she study defense systems, but she also developed the strongest anti-nuclear defense system.”
The strongest anti-nuclear defense system… These words had an inexplicable meaning when Qiao Nian said them. Ye Wangchuan did not think she was talking about a simple system.
Qiao Nian exhaled and continued expressionlessly, “She developed a substance that can achieve nuclear dissolution.”
