The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent Novel - Chapter 161
Chapter 161: A Secret Signal
She didn’t find any useful information in the album. She quickly put it back and searched other places.
She searched the entire room but could not find any traces.
Recalling something, she walked out of the room and stopped in her tracks in the innermost room. She had never entered this room before. Every time she asked Cheng Yang, he would vaguely change the subject. Moreover, the door had always been locked, which was very strange.
She placed her hand on the doorknob and turned it gently. Then, she realized that the door had opened. Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment. She had not expected the room to be unlocked today.
She opened it a crack and looked inside. It was similarly dark. As soon as she entered, she was pressed against the door by a strong force.
Xiao Ying panicked for a moment. She felt a familiar aura and relaxed.
Alarms kept sounding in her mind: “Destined energy source is in the room, destined energy source is in the room…”
Xiao Ying quickly said, “Then hurry up and absorb the energy. Are you waiting to run out of energy?”
The voice in her mind paused, as if realizing her words made sense. Then it spoke again. “Absorbing energy…”
Neither Xiao Ying nor Cheng Yang moved, nor spoke. As long as the two of them were together, there would be a quiet and warm atmosphere.
Xiao Ying sensed the fluctuations in her body and smiled.
Cheng Yang also felt this connection and hugged the person in his arms even more tightly. He had felt this feeling for years. Xiao Ying had never brought it up so he had never asked, but it seemed that her abnormality this time must have something to do with this mysterious thing.
“I feel it too,” Cheng Yang suddenly said without rhyme or reason.
Xiao Ying instantly understood. So he knew. She was overjoyed in her heart, and she pretended to be cold as she said, “So what? I came back this time to take some things. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have returned.”
Cheng Yang’s expression changed. “What are you taking?”
Xiao Ying: “It’s a secret.”
The two of them spoke normally. Xiao Ying kept a cold expression on her face as she looked at Cheng Yang. The amulet did not notice anything wrong and was seizing the moment to collect energy.
The amulet reminded her timely, “There is sufficient energy. Master, please leave him as soon as possible.”
Xiao Ying struggled for a moment before saying, “I should go back.”
She said she should go back, not she wanted to go back.
Cheng Yang didn’t ask her to stay and watched her leave.
Although Xiao Ying had not found anything this time, she had reached a consensus with Cheng Yang, so this trip was not in vain. She believed that with her around, Cheng Yang would not easily take the risk to kill people.
After figuring things out, Xiao Ying was no longer so anxious. She calmed down.
When she returned to theUniversity of Medicine to check on the research lab, she found that all the equipment had been installed and would be ready for use tomorrow. She took Qiao Zihao with her when she left.
Qiao Zihao was still holding the little teddy bear that he had bought for her today. Qiao Na smiled and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen this child like this type of thing.”
Xiao Ying asked in surprise, “He didn’t like it before?”
Qiao Zihao interrupted their conversation and said, “Sister, let’s go.”
Xiao Ying smiled and said, “Why are you suddenly calling me sister today?”
Qiao Zihao said with a straight face, “Because you look like one.”
These words made Xiao Ying laugh loudly, and she felt her mood become much better.
Qiao Na suddenly said, “This child seems to have become much more outgoing after staying with you.”
Xiao Ying didn’t know the reason either. She bade her farewell and left with Qiao Zihao.
When they reached the house, Qiao Zihao suddenly tugged at Xiao Ying and said, “Sister, who did you go to see today?”
Xiao Ying said with a confused expression, “A friend.”
Qiao Zihao said out of nowhere, “Sister, can you not meet that friend for the time being?”
Xiao Ying stroked his head and asked, “Why do you say that?”
But Qiao Zihao shook his head and said nothing.
Xiao Ying felt a little strange and thought about asking Qiao Na when she saw her again.
