The research findings in Chapter 596 were stolen.
Ning Yao clung tightly to Guan Ying's waist, but Guan Ying didn't push Ning Yao away because she wanted to survive. Instead, she quickly unbuckled her military belt and tied the two of them together, fastening the buckle.
With the help of the ejection parachute, Ning Yao and Guan Ying landed safely, but they stumbled and suffered minor injuries.
Guan Ying didn't even need to look; the helicopter pilot who flew them must have been completely mangled and dislocated.
Guan Ying felt no pity whatsoever for this rather handsome Y-country pilot.
What's there to pity? He clearly knew the helicopter was faulty, which is why he prepared the ejection parachute system to protect himself.
If it weren't for Boss Ning's intelligence in seeing through these underhanded tricks, she would probably have died a gruesome death along with Boss Ning. And the miserable state of this Y country pilot is the fate of her and Boss Ning.
After landing, Guan Ying helped Ning Yao look around anxiously, fearing that Ning Yao might be hurt.
After confirming that Ning Yao was really alright, Guan Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt her cheeks burning hot.
Guan Ying looked serious and focused. She wanted to know how Ning Yao had seen through the other party's tricks, something that was originally her job as a bodyguard.
"Mr. Ning, how did you discover the problem with the helicopter?"
"When we boarded the plane, the pilot greeted us. Do you remember what he called me?" Ning Yao stood calmly in place, slightly bowing her head and patting the dust off her clothes.
Upon hearing this, Guan Ying frowned and recalled, while stepping forward to pat the dust off Ning Yao's back and help her clean it.
He called me Miss Ning Yao.
"Is there anything wrong with calling her Miss Ning Yao?" Guan Ying asked, puzzled.
“I didn’t sign the contract with the name Ning Yao. If that’s the case, they are a foreign aircraft manufacturing company, so how would the pilots know my full name?” Ning Yao glanced at Guan Ying and patiently explained.
"But you're a celebrity, so it's not surprising that people know your name."
“My stage name is Luo Xiyao, not Ning Yao. If you just look at the information online, not many people would know that my name is Ning Yao. You could call it intuition. I have a feeling that there is something wrong with it.”
Ning Yao smiled and reached out to straighten Guan Ying's clothes as well.
Guan Ying had to admire Ning Yao's meticulousness; she really hadn't thought much about it at the time, but problems soon arose.
"We hadn't boarded the helicopter yet, so why did we go up there knowing there was a problem?"
“If we don’t go up, the people hiding near the airport are enough to kill us all. Staying there is certain death. Taking the helicopter, on the other hand, gives us a way out and we might survive.” Ning Yao sighed. After all, it was someone else’s territory. And these past few days, in order to have some peace and quiet, she had deliberately avoided the Russian female bodyguards that Wen Tingye had arranged for her.
The enemy outnumbered them, while their own forces were pitifully few. If the enemy really wanted to do something, could she and Guan Ying escape on their own?
"Do you know who's behind your downfall?" Guan Ying frowned, her face looking grim.
Someone is plotting to kill Ning Yao behind her back. How terrifying is that? She can't let Boss Ning be in danger.
Guan Ying silently made a decision: she would never cooperate with Boss Ning to shake off those who were protecting her again.
This isn't helping Boss Ning, it's harming her. President Wen's arrangements are foolproof, so we should just do them obediently.
"I don't know." Ning Yao has many enemies, but those who used to be able to kill her at the drop of a hat are no longer around. They should know how big the gap is between them and her, so they won't make a move easily.
"Let's check later. Let's go change our clothes at Ranran's first." Ning Yao frowned silently as she looked at the clothes she and Guan Ying were wearing, which had several tears in them.
Ning Moran's biological experiment base uses state-of-the-art iris scanning for access control. Ning Yao's information has already been entered, allowing her to enter and exit freely.
When Ning Yao appeared at the experimental base, the staff there were not surprised, because she was Dr. Ning's closest person.
The assistant led Ning Yao and Guan Ying to the dressing room next door. Since Ning Yao had stayed there for a period of time, she had a lot of spare clothes and quickly changed into a clean and tidy set of clothes.
Guan Ying was wearing Ning Yao's clothes, but they didn't fit her quite well.
Guan Ying is only a little over 1.6 meters tall, while Ning Yao is close to 1.75 meters tall. Clothes that fit Ning Yao are oversized on Guan Ying, very loose and comfortable.
However, as long as she has clothes to wear, that's enough for her; Guan Ying has never been a picky person.
Ning Yao walked towards Ning Moran's laboratory, but saw many people with frightened faces along the way. Ning Yao was suspicious, but she did not stop people to ask them for clarification.
As they approached the lab entrance, Ning Yao heard her son talking loudly to someone. There was clearly no one else in the lab except Ning Moran, who was pointing at a snow-white wall and venting his anger.
"Those are my research findings! How dare he publish them? He stole my experimental data! This is disgusting!"
Ning Moran's voice was exceptionally sharp, and it suddenly rose in pitch when she said the last sentence.
To others, this scene seemed extremely strange. Guan Ying frowned almost imperceptibly and secretly glanced at Ning Yao beside her, only to see her calmly walking towards Ning Moran.
When they got closer, Guan Ying realized that Ning Moran wasn't insane; he was just talking on the phone, but he was wearing a headset, which they hadn't noticed when their backs were to him, and they thought he was talking to himself.
Seemingly sensing someone behind her, Ning Moran suddenly fell silent, uttering no more words, and the phone seemed to have been disconnected.
Ning Moran turned her head and saw the three people who had suddenly appeared. When her gaze swept over Ning Yao, her irritable emotions instantly subsided, and she returned to her usual calm and indifferent demeanor, even gentle as water.
This change amazed Ning Moran's assistant, who knew that their doctor was always straightforward and never hid anything, nor did he care how others saw him; his happiness or unhappiness was always written on his face.
"Mom, what brings you here?" Ning Moran's surprise at seeing Ning Yao was genuine, without a trace of pretense.
His smile was slightly stiff because just a minute earlier, he had ended a very unpleasant overseas phone call.
"Nothing much, I was just passing by and thought I'd drop by to see you."
"This is a cold bamboo shoot salad for you. It's a new dish that Mom made recently. It tastes pretty good. Eat it with your rice. It will make your meal more delicious. Don't forget to eat when you're busy."
Ning Yao took out the cold dishes she had prepared for her son, her tone low and calm, without mentioning her own ordeal, and her face was filled with a composed smile.
Unsure how much of the conversation his mother had overheard, Ning Moran instinctively didn't want to show his vulnerability in front of Ning Yao. He took the food box his mother brought and held it in his arms with unusual care.
Then he led his mother on a tour of his laboratory, showing her several newly developed biological drugs, some for external use and some for internal use, all of which have the top efficacy among similar drugs in the industry.
Ning Yao listened attentively, her gaze towards her son always gentle and tolerant. Since her son refused to talk about it, she wouldn't pry. To know the whole story, you don't need the person involved to tell you.
The mother and son chatted for a long time and had a meal together. Ning Yao didn't want to stay any longer and disturb her son, so she left with Guan Ying.
In the past, Ning Moran was always reluctant to see her mother leave, wishing she could stay a little longer. But now, she silently saw Ning Yao off and stood at the entrance of the experimental base, which was dimly lit, looking very desolate and lonely.
Even Guan Ying couldn't bear it. In the car, she looked at Ning Yao, who had been calm and composed, and asked in confusion, "Young Master Moran seems to have encountered some trouble. Boss Ning, aren't you going to help him?"
