Zhao Qiang scanned Yang Shiyun's wound a second time and quickly noticed the difference. The bleeding stopped in just a few seconds, and the torn flesh was healing rapidly. Zhao Qiang held Yang Shiyun's hand, and in just two minutes, the wound was nowhere to be seen, except for some bloodstains on the skin that proved that there had been bleeding.
"Are you a superhuman?" Zhao Qiang asked.
Yang Shiyun said, "It wasn't like this before. I returned to China after I noticed a sudden change in my body while I was in the United States."
Zhao Qiang said, "It seems you've had a remarkable encounter."
Yang Shiyun said, "A strange encounter? I don't remember having one, but I was seriously ill and was in a coma for a whole week."
Zhao Qiang asked, "Is this how it is after you recovered from your illness?"
Yang Shiyun nodded: "That's right, but can you let go now?"
Zhao Qiang put down Yang Shiyun's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I got too engrossed. It seems that something happened to your body while you were unconscious. It may have activated the special ability within you. How to explain this 'special ability'? Perhaps it is more appropriate to express it as potential."
Yang Shiyun asked, "Then what are you? A superhuman or a piece of equipment?"
Zhao Qiang said, "I'm an equipment type, which is different from you guys." In fact, Zhao Qiang can control energy with ease, which is more than just an equipment type, but he has never classified himself as a special group.
"Can we study together?" Yang Shiyun asked. Her body, which had accompanied her throughout her life, had suddenly undergone a major change, and one can imagine the distress and anxiety she felt. Now that she could finally reveal this to someone, she was happy.
Zhao Qiang said, "Of course it is possible. Theoretically speaking, skin can be penetrated through X-ray glasses, but your skin cannot do that. So I think it's not just that your bones have been strengthened, but your skin has probably changed as well. Otherwise, how could you become invisible?"
Yang Shiyun covered her mouth: "Who told you I'm invisible?"
Zhao Qiang chuckled, and Yang Shiyun then said frankly, "Forget it, I knew you would guess it. I can fool others but not you. But I solemnly warn you, if you ever dare to scan my body again, I will not let you off easily."
Zhao Qiang quickly nodded in agreement: "It's okay, I won't scan other people's bodies randomly, otherwise I'd be a voyeur."
Yang Shiyun said, "You still think you're a good person?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Of course, I also bear the heavy responsibility of saving the world."
Yang Shiyun scolded, "Go to hell, can't you be serious for once?"
Zhao Qiang obediently became serious. He lit another cigarette, took a drag, and exhaled the smoke, which swayed in the wind and quickly disappeared. Yang Shiyun reached out to Zhao Qiang: "Give me one."
Zhao Qiang asked, "Girls like this too?"
Yang Shiyun said, "Why, is it not allowed?"
Zhao Qiang handed Yang Shiyun a cigarette and lit it for her; there was a certain charm to seeing a girl smoking.
"Sure, it's none of my business."
Yang Shiyun exhaled a smoke ring with practiced ease. "Good that you understand. Teach me how to extract 'g' substance."
Yang Shiyun suddenly blurted out something rather unexpected, and Zhao Qiang said, "Putting aside whether you can learn it or not, why do you want to learn how to refine 'g' substances?"
Yang Shiyun said, "It's not for any particular reason. I just like to study these things. But I've asked my sister in detail, and I still don't understand how you extracted the 'g' substance."
Zhao Qiang said, "Some things you can't learn just because you want to."
Yang Shiyun said, "If you can learn it, why can't I? Do you know that my memory is so powerful that I can remember everything I see?"
Zhao Qiang said, "It's nothing. For us equipment-type people, we can do it with just one auxiliary chip."
Yang Shiyun said, "Then why don't you make my sister do the same? Are you showing favoritism?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Of course not, it's just that the technology for transplanting this type of chip into the human brain is still lacking."
Yang Shiyun said, "Then stop talking big." Zhao Qiang remained silent and continued smoking.
Yang Shiyun took a drag of her cigarette and said, "I also need to learn the manufacturing methods for many other pieces of equipment."
Zhao Qiang remained noncommittal, instead asking, "Have you ever heard this saying?"
"What?"
Zhao Qiang said, "The disciple has lost his master."
Yang Shiyun said, "My seeking to learn from you has nothing to do with my family or my country."
Zhao Qiang said, "There's another saying you've heard before?"
"Say it all at once."
"If you want to learn, you'll sleep with your master."
Yang Shiyun was furious: "Go to hell!"
Zhao Qiang started walking downstairs, which made Yang Shiyun even angrier. She ran in front of Zhao Qiang and blocked his way.
Zhao Qiang said, "I'm not messing with you anymore. It's quite comfortable to be up here in the breeze, isn't it?"
Yang Shiyun asked, "So, are you going to teach me or not?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Sure, but I'm afraid you won't be able to learn it."
Yang Shiyun said, "That's my business and has nothing to do with you."
Zhao Qiang said, "Alright, come find me first thing tomorrow morning."
Yang Shiyun said, "Aren't we going to fight tonight?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Of course I'll go. Just call me when it's time, I'm afraid I'll oversleep."
Yang Shiyun muttered something, but Zhao Qiang pretended not to hear. After they went downstairs, they parted ways. Yang Shiyun didn't want to go back to see Tan Hua, but Zhao Qiang wanted to continue drinking with Xu Xiaoya and her classmates.
Zhao Qiang was awakened by a scratching sound on the window. Yang Shiqi was still drowsy in his arms. Zhao Qiang let go of her, but Yang Shiqi clung to him again, hugging him without caring that her breasts were exposed to the air. "What are you doing? Go back to sleep."
Zhao Qiang said, "Your second sister is looking for me."
Yang Shiqi chuckled with her eyes closed: "Go away, then go find her. How could a cold woman like her take the initiative to find you?"
As Zhao Qiang put on his clothes, he said, "I really am going to find her."
Yang Shiqi hugged her pillow and started to fall asleep again: "Go ahead, I'll tell you, my second sister is much more voluptuous than me..."
Outside the window, Yang Shiyun glared angrily at Zhao Qiang, who said, "What, are you going to eat me?"
Yang Shiyun said angrily, "Why did you tell my sister?"
Zhao Qiang said, "I'm a person who tends to tell the truth."
Yang Shiyun said, "I can't say."
Zhao Qiang said, "Don't worry, she won't believe it."
Yang Shiyun said, "What if?"
Zhao Qiang said, "If there's no need for a tour guide, let's go. You know the location, right? I'm not very familiar with Beijing, so it's good that you're here to lead the way."
Yang Shiyun could easily reach Zhao Qiang outside the window. This had nothing to do with her invisibility, because Zhao Qiang and the others originally lived within her home area. It was easy for her to go anywhere.
An off-road vehicle was already prepared outside the villa area. Yang Shiyun pointed to the driver's seat, so Zhao Qiang got in and drove. Yang Shiyun pointed out the route from the passenger seat. The military camp could not be built in the city, so they had to get out of the city first.
Even though it was late at night, Beijing's traffic was still busy. I hadn't gone five kilometers when I was stopped by a traffic policeman on duty at an intersection. I saluted, and the policeman politely extended his hand: "Please show me your driver's license and vehicle registration."
Zhao Qiang was dumbfounded. He looked at Yang Shiyun, who looked at him and said, "Give them their driver's licenses."
Zhao Qiang said, "Your car is being stopped?" In Zhao Qiang's mind, the Yang family was of such high status that he had never heard of anyone daring to stop Yang Shiqi's car.
Yang Shiyun said, "Borrowed vehicles won't do; military vehicles can't be used casually." It seems the older and younger sisters really do have different styles of doing things.
Zhao Qiang said, "There's nothing I can do about it, I don't have a driver's license."
Yang Shiyun gritted her teeth in anger, "How could my sister possibly fall for someone like you? Let's get off the bus and find another way to get there."
Zhao Qiang said to the traffic police, "There's nothing we can do. We don't have any documents, so please impound the vehicle."
The traffic policeman sized up Zhao Qiang: "You don't have any documents? Where's your ID card?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Sorry, I didn't bring any."
The traffic policeman said, "Then I can't let you go—did you steal this car?"
Zhao Qiang said, "To be honest, your suspicions are somewhat reasonable."
The traffic police officer said, "So if you don't have a vehicle registration certificate, you'll have to wait here unless you can prove that you didn't steal the car."
Yang Shiyun checked the time and said, "Why are you wasting your breath talking to them?" Then she grabbed Zhao Qiang and ran. When the traffic police saw that they had abandoned their car and were running away, they immediately shouted, "Catch them! Catch them!" The traffic police on duty rushed over.
Yang Shiyun pulled Zhao Qiang along the alleyways, and soon the traffic police were left further and further behind. Yang Shiyun began to disappear, and Zhao Qiang could no longer see her except for feeling her hand.
Zhao Qiang said, "Hey, what am I supposed to do if you do this?"
Yang Shiyun probably thought of this as well, so she immediately exited her invisibility and said to Zhao Qiang, "Take me away quickly."
Zhao Qiang pulled Yang Shiyun up, saying, "Hold on tight!" He then pushed off the ground, and the two shot into the sky. Traffic police surrounded the entire alley, but there was no one inside. However, the police wouldn't give up. The intersection's surveillance cameras had clearly recorded the two's appearance, and staff immediately compared the images with data in the database. At the same time, an investigation was launched into the original owner of the abandoned vehicle. The results were in just a few tens of minutes.
The traffic police initially thought they had solved a theft case, but they were stunned when they received the analysis results. The car belonged to a staff member of the Yang family villa. Stopping the Yang family staff member's car wasn't the problem; the key issue was that the girl who escaped was actually the second eldest sister of the Yang family.

Volume 2 [623] Division of Labor
[623] Division of labor
"I also want an anti-gravity device and a propulsion device," Yang Shiyun said confidently, leaving Zhao Qiang speechless.
Yang Shiyun asked, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with it?"
Zhao Qiang said, "How could that be?"
Yang Shiyun said, "Then I need you to teach me how to make it."
Zhao Qiang said, "I don't think you can learn it. Some manufacturing methods can be done without machinery."
Yang Shiyun said, "As long as you are willing to teach me, I can learn it."
Zhao Qiang said, "Okay, we'll try it another day."
Yang Shiyun identified the features of the buildings on the ground, then pointed ahead: "Keep moving forward, but I'm afraid we'll be detected by radar if we get too close to the military camp."
Zhao Qiang said, "Then we'll fly at low altitude, or we can simply walk the last distance."
Yang Shiyun said, "If only I could make you invisible with me."
Zhao Qiang said, "Yes, it would be best if you taught me how to become invisible."
Yang Shiyun said, "I've emphasized before that it's not that I don't want to teach you, but I don't know how invisibility is achieved either. As long as I use my mind to think about it, my body will disappear from my visual system."
As they talked, they quickly arrived near the military camp. Zhao Qiang landed in a secluded spot, and then the two walked to the camp. They could have flown there directly, as the camp was already prepared to welcome Zhao Qiang, and even if they concealed their whereabouts, they would have no chance.
