Lin Yao was also deeply moved. Aside from her health, Ruan Lingling was even more pitiful than he had been. He looked up at her and saw that this strong girl was pale, her cheekbones prominently showing signs of malnutrition. Ruan Lingling's features weren't particularly striking; her face was oval-shaped, and the lines weren't especially beautiful, but her bright, large eyes were full of spirit and vitality, instantly giving her a beautiful appearance. Holding her hand while applying the medicine, he could feel its roughness; this girl had suffered so much.
"This should be able to help her solve her difficulties," Lin Yao thought to himself. For a hardworking person, learning is not a problem. They have the perseverance to learn anything well. Even if they cannot reach a very high level due to lack of talent, they can definitely reach a moderate level. As long as they are given the opportunity and a platform to practice, they can shine brightly.
Sometimes, responsibility and diligence are more important for a company. With that in mind, Lin Yao made a decision, "Don't worry about these things. As long as you have the spirit to learn and work hard, you can work for my family's company in the future. Although it will be a bit tough at first, it's better than those jobs that you can't hold down for long."
Ruan Lingling looked up at Lin Yao with surprise and gratitude in her eyes, and tears welled up again. "Thank you!... Thank you!... Thank you!" Her voice was choked with emotion and she could only say the same two words.
Seeing the joy in those eyes, Lin Yao suddenly had a hallucination, as if those eyes were his own, no longer filled with fear and despair, and he suddenly felt a sense of happiness.
After bandaging Ruan Lingling's left hand and arm, the two little ones who had been guarding the bedroom door rushed in. They surrounded this rare visitor, comforting her and telling her stories. Lin Yao had no choice but to give up his seat to the two little ones.
“Brother,” Ge Yong followed Lin Yao into his bedroom and said hesitantly, “Could you also arrange something for me to do? I feel bad about being idle here every day. Your sister-in-law can take care of Nannan. I know I can’t be of much help, but I’ll do my part. Your whole family works so hard, it’s really not right for us to be idle.”
"Brother, don't think like that. Nannan's illness is the most important thing." Lin Yao quickly comforted him. After living with Ge Yong's family for a while, he had a complete understanding of their character and had long wanted to ask for their help. "It's like this, our family will soon have its own pharmaceutical factory. We'll need your help to take care of it then. I suspect many people are eyeing our business, so security is a big issue. I heard you mention it before, and I know it's a small matter for you. Please don't think we're wasting our talents. We really need your help."
"Brother, don't say that. It would be best if you could let me do something. I'll do anything you want, whatever you say." Ge Yong felt a little comforted by Lin Yao's words. He really didn't want to freeload anymore.
“Come on, big brother, tell me about your special abilities today. I’ve always been curious about them. Big brother must be a very capable person.” Lin Yao immediately pulled Ge Yong to sit on the edge of the bed. Ge Yong, who possessed extremely high disguise skills, had long piqued his curiosity. He couldn’t let this capable person slip by.
“Alright, I’ll show you my secrets today. Although I’m not good at production or business, there are some things that really can’t beat me.” Ge Yong laughed heartily, his laughter full of confidence. “Before we get to the point, let me tell you about what happened to you today. You need to get a few spare ID cards. Since you’re thinking of disguising yourself, you must have encountered some difficulties. So we should make the disguise more convincing.”
“I’ll design a few outfits for you. Take some photos of the outfits you learn, and make new ID cards. Except for the photos, all the information will be the same as the original. That way, you won’t have to worry about encountering the situation again. It won’t matter if that guy calls 110.” When Ge Yong talked about his area of expertise, his whole demeanor changed. “Also, I guess you’ve had times when you wanted to hide your information, so we’ll make another set of fake ID cards with different photos.”
“But,” Lin Yao interjected, “the chips in these ID cards can’t be fixed. Even at some high-end internet cafes, they can’t pass the security check because there’s only one version in the database.”
"Then there's nothing I can do. I can only find someone to make your appearance exactly like a real ID card. There's no way to fix the chip inside, but do you need to? Even if you're flying, you can remove the disguise in the restroom first, and then put on makeup after you arrive."
"That's true, hehe." Lin Yao laughed sheepishly. There's no such thing as a fake document that's completely impervious to verification.
After the two had been talking for quite a while, Alina came in and interrupted their conversation. "It's very late. Nannan is asleep, and Lili is asleep too. Come and see, something strange has happened."
Thinking something was wrong, the two men quickly left the bedroom. Upon exiting, Lin Yao immediately realized what Alina meant by the strange thing.
Little Guli actually fell asleep on the sofa, his head resting on Ruan Lingling's lap!
Lin Yao was stunned and speechless, and Ge Yong immediately realized that something was amiss. Ever since Xiao Guli came to this home, he had to sleep next to Lin Yao. Even when he was very tired, he couldn't fall asleep without Lin Yao's presence, something Alina had tried many times. During the day, even though Xiao Guli was very close to Alina, he still needed Lin Yao to be present to sleep; Alina was unable to coax him to sleep.
Little Guli actually fell asleep on Ruan Lingling's body, which brought great relief to the three adults in the family. This might be a sign that his mental illness was improving.
Lin Yao picked up Xiao Guli and placed him on the bed in the bedroom before returning to the living room. He looked at Ruan Lingling strangely and asked, "How did you manage to put Lili to sleep? No one else could do that except me."
Ruan Lingling hadn't said anything until now, and even when she saw the three people's surprised expressions, she didn't ask any questions. Only now did she realize the reason for their surprise. "I didn't do anything. The children were tired from playing and naturally got sleepy. After Nannan was carried to the room by her mother, Lili leaned against me and fell asleep. It only took about ten seconds."
Lin Yao's heart stirred, and he immediately thought of a way to arrange things for Ruan Lingling. "It's very late today, I'll take you home. Come over early tomorrow morning. First, I'll help you change your dressing, and second, starting tomorrow, I'll hire you to take care of Lili. You know this child can't be separated from me for a moment. There are many things that are inconvenient for me to do with him. I hope he can accept you. I hope you can help me take care of him."
"Ah! Is that alright?" Ruan Lingling opened her mouth in surprise. "It's only right that I take care of him. You don't need to pay me. You've helped me so much. It would be unreasonable for me to take money from you."
“This is also a job, and I hope you can do it well. Don’t talk to me about these things. Your family needs the money.” Lin Yao said seriously. “Besides, I’m not giving you charity. Our relationship is a completely legal and legitimate employment relationship. You don’t need to feel guilty.”
Ruan Lingling initially wanted to refuse, but thinking of her family's predicament, she hesitated for a moment and then suppressed the thought. She desperately needed a job. "Thank you! Thank you so much for today. I'm so grateful to you for helping me find a job!" Tears welled up in her eyes again.
Lin Yao shook his head, helped Ruan Lingling, who couldn't stop crying, into a taxi, and handed her an envelope containing five thousand yuan. "Don't refuse. You've seen my family's situation. Your family needs this money more. Besides, this was originally given to you by that guy surnamed Wang for medical treatment. You should take it."
Ruan Lingling's fragile nerves were touched once again. She slowly took the envelope and choked out a thank you.
Watching the taxi drive away, Lin Yao felt a surge of emotion. Everyone is special. He had been rewarded for his kindness in helping others by finding Ruan Lingling, who has special abilities. With her help, Xiao Guli should be able to recover soon.

Early the next morning, Ruan Lingling arrived at Lin Yao's house. Xiao Guli and Nannan both liked this big sister very much. Whenever these two little ones saw a young girl, they would refuse to call her "Auntie" and would only call her "Sister," which was impossible for anyone to do.
Lin Yao tried having Ruan Lingling take care of Xiao Guli alone, while he deliberately made an excuse to leave. He found that Xiao Guli was not as panicked and frightened as before. This discovery surprised him greatly, and he thought that Xiao Guli's mental illness had taken a major turn for the better. However, when the test subject was changed to Alina, Xiao Guli reverted to his previous state, which made Lin Yao feel as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
"It really is because of Ruan Lingling's special ability," Lin Yao thought to himself. However, with Ruan Lingling's help, a big problem has already been solved, and it will be more helpful for Xiao Guli's treatment.
Ge Yong went out to run errands early in the morning. After a long period of leisure, he was full of energy. When he returned at noon, he happily showed Lin Yao his work: ten ID cards. Lin Yao and Alina were amazed by how realistic the documents were. If they didn't know Lin Yao's true identity, they would definitely believe that all the documents were genuine.
Finally, the two ID cards that Ge Yong pulled out completely overturned Lin Yao and Alina's understanding. The photos of Lin Yao on these two ID cards were real and had not been disguised, but the information on them was completely fake.
"I'll be a secret agent from now on, brother. Could you help me make a few different disguises and look them off? With these fake documents, I'll be able to avoid a lot of trouble." Lin Yao grinned, imagining the exciting and wonderful experience. Like all boys, he longed for the life of a secret agent.
Ge Yong smiled and gently rebuked, "You need to practice your disguise skills more. Only a disguise that can be successfully disguised and removed within 60 seconds is valuable. When you master other disguise techniques, I will help you get your documents. You haven't mastered these two disguises yet, so you can only go out with a disguise, which is inconvenient for getting things done."
"One minute? That's an exaggeration. Even my best thug look takes twelve minutes." Lin Yao's enthusiasm was dampened. "This eyebrow shaping, eye corner lifting, and uneven skin tone that uses optical principles to disrupt the visual effect—how can that be done in one minute? Not to mention the hairstyle and clothing."
"Don't you believe me? These are the basic requirements. Actually, your physique is very suitable for disguise. You have a good foundation and can be disguised as many identities. Practice more." Ge Yong carefully looked Lin Yao up and down and suddenly realized that his physique and appearance were very good for disguise, unlike himself, who was a big guy and had many restrictions on identities.
"Okay, I'll use my new ID to fool people today. I'm going to the restroom to touch up my makeup first." As soon as he said it, Lin Yao was disgusted by his own words. Touch up makeup? That's something only women do.
Ruan Lingling does indeed have special abilities. Little Guli actually likes to stick to her and doesn't reject people's affections as usual. This makes Lin Yao feel that his special treatment is not unique anymore. While he is gratified, he can't help but feel a little sour.
Seeing Ge Yong and Lin Yao carrying a bunch of things towards the bathroom, Xiao Guli loudly showed off his erudition to the newcomer Ruan Lingling, "Dad, are you going to play house again?"
Lin Yao was taken aback. Thinking that he would often need Ruan Lingling's help to take care of the child in the future, he should let her know a little about his disguise first. So he stopped and walked to the sofa, looking at Ruan Lingling. "Well, my current appearance is a disguise. You will have the chance to see my true face in the future. Just remember my voice."
Before Ruan Lingling could react, he turned and headed towards the bathroom, thinking that he could also disguise his voice in the future. With Xiao Cao's help, he could simply use some kind of drug to stimulate his vocal cords and change his voice. Thinking of this, he felt even more eager for his future life as a secret agent and resolved to master at least one disguise as soon as possible.
Ruan Lingling was stunned by this sudden news. Makeup? Lin Yao was wearing makeup? What did he look like without it? He must have looked very good, his skin looks so dirty now.
Thinking of this, she immediately whispered to Xiao Guli, but Nannan, who was overhearing her, answered first, "My Uncle Yao is the most handsome, just as handsome as Nannan. Lili is also handsome, and Mom is also handsome. Only Dad looks like a bear and isn't handsome."
