The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Alizee didn't want her beloved to feel uncomfortable, so she quickly explained:

"Rest assured, those are volunteers with severe illnesses, who don't have long to live. They are not people we forced."

"If the experiment succeeds, perhaps we can save their lives."

"Even if it fails, they can receive substantial compensation."

Yang Yan sneered internally.

Volunteers?

Compensation?

What a joke!

He's almost certain that the women Alizee mentioned were likely Zhou Hanyun and her group.

He just didn't know whose physique Manhattan had taken a fancy to.

However, on the surface, he still appeared indifferent.

"Let's eat first!"

The calmer he acted, the less likely he would upset any plans.

If he deliberately probed further now, with Alizee's alertness, the chance of exposure would be too great.

In fact, when she realized she accidentally leaked information earlier, her intentional supplement was to observe his reaction.

Luckily, he had always maintained a cautious attitude towards this sly woman, Alizee.

Even when he heard news about Zhou Hanyun and her group, he didn't show any flaw on his face.

But Alizee, for some reason, didn't end the topic there.

She continued enthusiastically:

"The doctor treats them well. And those women are very beautiful!"

Yang Yan felt a tremor in his heart.

He could sense that Alizee wasn't revealing things about the laboratory out of sheer high spirits.

Could she have noticed something?

Was she testing him with Zhou Hanyun and her group on purpose...?

"Hmm? All beautiful girls? The girls from the United States are indeed beautiful! Like you, you're just like an angel."

Yang Yan said nonchalantly.

However, Alizee shook her head lightly:

"No, no, no! Those girls are all from Huaxia! Lin Yan, Huaxia is great, someday you should take me back for a visit."

When Alizee said this, Yang Yan could clearly feel her watching his expression.

This woman was really too shrewd.

Even though she had already acknowledged his identity, she still occasionally sought opportunities to test him.

"Of course, no problem."

Yang Yan smiled lightly, appearing so natural.

Undoubtedly, Yang Yan's reaction made Alizee quite satisfied.

Her trust in him naturally increased a bit.

Ao Tian didn't come back for lunch, and of course, he wouldn't return for dinner.

In between, they didn't mention the laboratory topic again, but Yang Yan's heart was already stirred up. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The Huaxia women Alizee spoke of surely referred to Zhou Hanyun and her group.

What concerned Yang Yan was who exactly Manhattan had taken a liking to?

For a moment, Yang Yan felt a growing sense of urgency.

He didn't want any of them to be in danger.

It seemed he had to speed things up.

He needed to get Ao Tian to do something...

Once decided, Yang Yan casually picked up the topic about the laboratory again.

"Hearing you talk, I'm curious about what your laboratory is working on. Is it related to diseases?"

"Why not take me to the lab someday for a look? I happen to know a bit about traditional Chinese medicine, maybe we can corroborate something."

Yang Yan pretended to be unaware of the laboratory's importance, treating it as a regular lab, expressing his interest to Alizee.

Alizee, after hearing this, didn't decline directly, but she looked troubled.

"Haha! Never mind, the lab where Miss Alizee works must be extraordinary."

"Why not just show me the exterior? That should be fine, right?"

Alizee hesitated a bit.

The laboratory's exact location was highly confidential, obviously not for outsiders to know.

Even Alizee herself had to be very cautious each time she went in, going through a lot of trouble.

At the designated spot, she even had to take a specific transport to prevent anyone from tracking her to the lab's location.

More importantly, the lab was heavily guarded, and even the exterior was hard to access.

She clearly remembered that Dr. Manhattan once proudly said:

This lab, even if a Titled power appeared from the Sealing Title Stele, they couldn't just walk in single-handedly.

Even if they stormed in with violence, the lab would activate the self-destruct system.

Alizee sat quietly beside Yang Yan, watching him for quite a while.

Yang Yan could tell that wasn't scrutiny, nor a sign of disbelief, but just a difficult decision.

After thinking for a while, Alizee first picked up a dish and placed it in Yang Yan's bowl, then nodded:

"You're right, we are one of our own now, so of course I can take you for a look."

"Due to confidentiality, the inside is improbable. But the exterior, sure, you can take a look."

"Exterior?"

Yang Yan said with a smile.

Alizee nodded seriously:

"Yes, where those lab researchers live."

"They've all signed confidentiality agreements and generally don't go out, so they live directly outside the lab."

Yang Yan naturally understood the situation.

These people were actually being monitored to prevent leaks.

"Oh, and the doctor is leaving tomorrow, I heard it's to the Arctic."

"I don't know what exactly for. Let's go tomorrow then! I'll show you the lab."

"Alright."

Yang Yan smiled calmly and casually asked:

"Aren't they doing experiments? Why the trip to the Arctic? Your doctor is quite carefree!"

Alizee shook her head lightly, uncertainly said:

"He left in quite a hurry, I think something important must have happened in the Arctic!"

Yang Yan immediately thought of the Dusk Race and the base he and Ao Tian destroyed, as well as the two Blood Balls and the so-called sacrificial site he collected from that base.

"Then I'll take Lin Tian with me tomorrow!"

"That guy's been fooling around outside every day, it's been just a few days, and who knows how many women he's already entangled with."

"Now that we've finally sneaked out for a trip, let him broaden his horizons with me, lest the old man says we're not doing our jobs."

Yang Yan said casually, also as a test.

He wanted to see where Alizee's tolerance limit for him was.

"Okay."

Surprisingly, Alizee agreed without any hesitation.

Perhaps in her view, since she was already bringing Yang Yan, bringing along a brother should not be a big issue.

Job-wise, she was considered second in command in Manhattan's lab.

Once Manhattan left the next day, she would be the undisputed boss.

It's just taking two people to see the lab's exterior.

Especially when one of them was already her designated man.

Even if Manhattan finds out later, he probably wouldn't say much.
