“Brother, I’m an expert at this. Let me help you. I guarantee I can disguise you so well that even your mother won’t recognize you, as long as you don’t say a word.” Ge Yong immediately became interested and was very excited. He could finally help Lin Yao with something, and he immediately joined the great cause of helping Lin Yao disguise himself with great enthusiasm. As for whether Lin Yao would use the disguise to do bad things, Ge Yong didn’t consider it at all, because he had completely figured out the character of this family, and he trusted Lin Yao’s whole family.
After a while, Lin Yao stared in disbelief at the stranger in the mirror, completely agreeing with Ge Yong's conclusion that even his mother wouldn't recognize him. Was this really him?
Her hairstyle had changed; it was messy and avant-garde. Her wheat-colored face had uneven skin, making her unremarkable. Her clothing choices completely overturned her self-perception. No matter how she looked at herself, she resembled an ordinary passerby, the kind who wasn't doing very well but insisted on chasing fashion.
"Big brother, you're so talented! Teach me, I can use this to get out of trouble in the future, maybe it can help me avoid a lot of dangers." Lin Yao's thoughts were stuck for a long time before he looked at Ge Yong with admiration.
“Brother, this skill isn’t actually difficult, but it’s not easy to learn it well. If you want to learn, I’ll teach you. I have other skills too. Do you want to learn grappling?” Ge Yong was very proud, feeling a long-lost sense of accomplishment. He picked up his teacup, carefully examined Lin Yao, and pondered what he could teach him.
"Big brother, are you China's 007? Your skills are amazing! I want to learn them, including the grappling techniques." Lin Yao looked at Ge Yong with adoration, practically drooling. No boy could resist the desire to become a secret agent.
With a "pfft," Ge Yong spat out his tea, causing Nannan and Alina, who had been quietly watching without making a sound, to burst into laughter.
"Brother, well... we'll talk about that later. I think you should learn some self-defense techniques. But forget about grappling; you probably can't lift someone with your physique. Just learn some simple defensive moves." Ge Yong choked a bit and quickly wiped his nose with a tissue, thinking to himself that he shouldn't have drunk such a big mouthful of water earlier.
"Oh, I'll learn whatever I can." Lin Yao didn't mind Ge Yong's evaluation. He was thin, but he was already very strong under Xiao Cao's care. His explosive power and endurance were quite good. He had already tested these himself. He thought that his thin body also had a natural camouflage effect.
Unlike Lin Yao, who was happy at home, Xia Yuwen was suffering a great blow at this time.
At first, an unfamiliar phone rang, and she answered it with great enthusiasm, thinking that someone had leaked information about the missing person post she had made on the website.
"Hello, is this Xiaoyu?"
"Yes, this is me. May I ask who you are? Are you the one who saw my post?"
"Yes, yes, I'm a netizen who saw your post. I'm very interested in what you're talking about and would like to discuss it with you."
Xia Yuwen's IQ was probably negative at this moment. The middle-aged man's voice on the phone was very magnetic, which made her mistakenly believe that he was a kind uncle who knew about the miracle doctor and came to help, or that he had a better way to find the miracle doctor. At this time, she did not think of a key point, that is, she did not leave her name or phone number when she posted on the Internet, and the other party called her directly and called her "Xiaoyu" without arousing her vigilance.
"That's wonderful! Thank you! You're such a kind person!" Xia Yuwen jumped up. Her grandfather's illness could be cured, because she believed that there was no disease that a divine doctor couldn't cure.
“You are very beautiful, Miss Xiaoyu. I am a generous person, so please rest assured. Moreover, I am very gentle, so you don’t need to worry.” The middle-aged man said in a mature and gentle voice, his tone filled with joy. “I plan to go to Sichuan for an inspection tomorrow. I hope Miss Xiaoyu will be available.”
Beautiful? Gentle? Under investigation? What does this have to do with me? Xia Yuwen was puzzled for a moment. She didn't speak, feeling that she couldn't quite understand what the other person was saying. She should listen first, lest she say something wrong and offend the other person so that he wouldn't help her find the miracle doctor.
The lecherous man on the other end of the phone didn't hear Xia Yuwen's reply and assumed she was just being coy, waiting for him to raise the price. "Miss Yuwen, you're really beautiful, I really like you. I've said I'm a generous person, how about this, 1000 yuan a day for the basic fee, if the service satisfies me, I'll add more money, even up to 2000 yuan a day is no problem..."
Xia Yuwen was completely stunned. Being intelligent, she sensed something was wrong. Her good manners prevented her from cursing. She just numbly pressed the hang-up button and stared blankly at her phone.
She had just hung up the phone when a Chengdu landline number appeared on her phone screen, and she pressed the answer button.
"Excuse me, are you Xiaoyu?" a slightly younger and more energetic male voice asked.
"Yes, who are you?" Xia Yuwen's voice was not as enthusiastic as before, and she answered with a hint of suspicion.
"I'm an online friend. I happen to be in Chengdu on a business trip today. Miss Xiaoyu's beautiful photos have me completely captivated. I think I've fallen deeply in love with you. Miss Xiaoyu, do you have any plans for tomorrow? I'd like to invite you to go skiing at Xiling Snow Mountain. The price is negotiable." The man on the other end of the phone became even more excited upon hearing the cold voice. He happened to like this kind of icy beauty, and immediately his liking escalated to love.
"Go to hell!" Xia Yuwen finally cursed. No one had ever dared to talk to her like that since she was a child. It was as if they didn't want to live.
The phone rang immediately after she hung up, making Xia Yuwen's heart skip a beat.
The call connected, someone swore, the call ended, and the phone kept ringing...
Xia Yuwen is going crazy. What on earth is going on?
Turning off the phone was the only solution at the moment. Just as she was weeping and unable to understand what was happening, the phone rang, startling her again.
"Hello..." Xia Yuwen's voice was very weak, like a frightened deer. She was worried that even the home phone number might be known by those perverts. If her parents found out, they would beat her to death.
"Xiaowen, something terrible has happened!" A hurried female voice on the phone immediately put Xia Yuwen at ease. "Why is your phone off? I searched for ages to find your home number."
"Xiao Qing, is something wrong? My phone is charging." Xia Yuwen lied. Should she tell her friends that she was mistaken for an escort by a pervert?
"Xiaowen, thank goodness your phone wasn't on. I'm telling you, never turn it on!" Xiaoqing said very quickly. "I don't know which scoundrel posted your phone number online, and even your name is Xiaoyu. They said you're an entertainment worker providing escort services, which is basically a prostitute."
“I understand, no explanation needed.” Xia Yuwen finally understood the reason for the previous erotic phone call, and gritted her teeth, determined to make a decision.
"Your number should only be known to your friends, and your name too. Who is this scoundrel? I think he's got a death wish. If I find him, I'll make him the last eunuch in China!" Xiaoqing said indignantly. "Luckily, the internet only lists your name as Xiaoyu, not your full name. You'd better turn off your phone and change your number. If your uncle finds out, he'll beat you to death."
"Oh, sob sob..." Xia Yuwen finally couldn't hold back her tears. She felt so wronged. She hadn't done anything to offend anyone, so why was she being treated like this?

Lin Yao, who had just come into contact with the study of camouflage, showed great enthusiasm. He was amazed by the wonder and breadth of the study and developed a strong interest in this discipline, which involves human psychology, behavior, physiology and anatomy, aesthetics, social and humanistic structures and other fields. He immediately began to ask to learn it.
Ge Yong was overjoyed to finally find his place to shine, and he eagerly guided Lin Yao, recalling the steps and process of his own learning while teaching Lin Yao how to learn.
To Ge Yong's surprise, Lin Yao grasped the concepts of psychology and behavioral science very quickly, demonstrating a deep understanding. He also readily accepted techniques for using visual and auditory habits and misconceptions to disguise himself.
The more Ge Yong taught, the more surprised he became. In the end, he was left with nothing but shock. This guy's learning talent was just too high. It's infuriating to compare yourself to others. He had always been complacent about being the best student. If Lin Yao had participated back then, he wondered if he would have applied to withdraw from school.
At this moment, Lin Yao was certain that Ge Yong was no ordinary soldier in the army. Although he had never inquired about it, his camouflage skills alone were enough to give him away. However, Lin Yao had no intention of finding out more. Since Ge Yong had already retired and hadn't settled down yet, he would have many opportunities to keep him by his side. He wouldn't miss any information that Ge Yong needed to know. Besides, if Ge Yong stayed, Nannan would definitely settle down here with her parents. He liked this little girl very much, and he could finally be a big brother for a while.
The two, master and apprentice, taught and learned together until 1 a.m. before finally finishing under Alina's urging. Ge Yong didn't dare to disturb Lin Yao's sleep any longer, as he had already noticed the major events that had recently happened to Lin Yao's family and didn't want to cause any trouble.
Lin Yao meditated on his bed until four o'clock, when his phone alarm woke him up. Today was the day the first batch of drought relief drinks was sent to the disaster area, and he had to rush to Anyun Company to see them off. Although the launch ceremony was not announced, all members of the organizing team would be present, as it was a milestone.
Lin Yao arrived at Anyun Company at 4:40. Ye Zhaoxian and the others had already arrived and were holding a brief launch ceremony.
At this time of day, the sky in the west was still completely dark, with no sign of dawn. All the lights in the factory warehouse were on, and Zhong Degao was busy directing the workers to load the trucks, while Luo Jimin was also coordinating and organizing.
