LANLING JIN, KOI TOWERS
"What is this mad scientist with a personal history of doing illegal experiments on humans doing here?" Jie's intuition was right on. Something fishy is certainly going on." Xue Yang thought as he read through the information that he received on his phone.
Xue Yang decided to send another message to Jiang Yanli on his new findings when he saw the light, blue-clothed man hurrying through the garden with a box in his hand.
"Speak of the devil." Xue Yang thought with a smirk on his face and quickly put his phone into his pocket as he disregarded the half-typed message, he discreetly started following the man.
As he followed the man, he found himself standing before a traditional Chinese Garden. At the end of the wall in the garden, there was no one in sight and nothing was particularly amiss about it until Su She twisted on one of the lamps 175 degrees, pressing and twisting it 180 degrees anticlockwise. Su She quickly scans his id and inputs the password at the digital panel. Xue Yang crouched forward in hopes of finding out the password, he accidentally stepped on some dried leaves making a crunching sound. He quietly cursed and silently prayed that Su She wouldn't find him hiding in the bushes. Su She became startled and dropped his ID into the leaves. He turned around to see who the intruder was, but he came face to face with a chipmunk stuffing his face with nuts.
"You little chipmunk. Scaring the daylight out of me." Su She cooed as he picked up the creature and kissed the forehead of the docile animal.
After doing that, he put down the chipmunk and typed something into the panel.
As soon as he typed into the panel, the Koi Pond opened and created a small pathway to walk through. Xue Yang could see that at the end of the aisle, another door opened up and as Su She entered the door, it automatically closed.
"Oh My God. I didn't even know that cooing can be this disgusting." Xue Yang murmured while making a disgusted face.
After making sure that the coast was clear, he came out from the statue that was hiding behind and walked to where Su She stood earlier.
"Thanks to his strange fondness for that thing, I got this." Xue Yang said with a smirk as he picked up the fallen ID from the leaves.
UNDERGROUND OF THE KOI POND
"YOU FOOLS! YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP SOME HUMANS ALIVE! I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT EVERY SPECIMEN IS PRECIOUS! CURRENTLY, THE STUPID HUNTER ORGANIZATION IS ONTO US, WE CAN'T GET THAT MANY HUMANS TO DO THE EXPERIMENTS! If you lose one more human, I am going to plunk every single one of you into the holy water, making sure that you won't have an easy death and fester for all eternity." Su She shouted as he grabbed a guard by its collar, rage evident in his face as he shoved the guard against a wall.
"If it wasn't for that damn crown price finding out, I wouldn't have been kicked out from the Lan Sect so disgracefully. One day I will make sure to let him suffer. I will make him lie on the ground licking my boots for even a drop of blood while I drain him dry and make him watch his little brother being shredded piece by piece." Su She said in a sinister smile.
Su She's face was clenching with anger that he crushed the first aid box that he had bought with him earlier in hopes of administering the medicine to the human. He crushed it so hard that the splinters flew everywhere, and its contents fell onto the ground.
"Do a headcount again and make sure nothing happens." Su She said as he walked out of the prison rooms, with heels clicking in the puddle of blood on the floor while listening to the echoing heartbeats of the frightened humans.
JIANG HEADQUARTERS, YUNMENG
"A-Li, what is it that you want to discuss with me alone?" Lan Xichen asked as he sat down on one of the discussion room chairs.
"It's about the treaty and your brother's attack." Jiang Yanli said.
"The treaty? Wanji's attack? What about it?" Lan Xichen asked in a worried voice.
"I suspect that the attack on your brother is not that simple. It seems someone is conspiring to start another war between the two species." Jiang Yanli said in a serious voice.
"Why do you say so? Any evidence?" Lan Xichen asked.
"I have sent out our top agent to investigate and the information that he sends back is quite worrisome." Jiang Yanli said as she took out her tablet and showed the information to Lan Xichen.
"It seems that the Jin's found a scientist to help them to do human experiments." Jiang Yanli continued.
"A scientist? Wait, do you mean Su She?" Lan Xichen said as he looked through the tablet.
"Yes. It's Su She. Currently, all the experiments that they did all failed. However, if the experiment succeeds, it will be the end of the human and vampire race. The balance between the two races will be destroyed." Jiang Yanli said.
"Hmm...this is indeed worrying. What do you suggest?" Lan Xichen asked as he put down the tablet after reading all the information.
"At the moment, we do not have enough information about this. But we should stay alert if any abnormalities arise. As this is a classified mission, currently the only person who knows about this is you, me, and our top agent, Xue Yang." Jiang Yanli said.
"So, your brothers don't know about this?" Lan Xichen asked in confusion as Jiang Cheng is after all the head of the Jiang Vampire slayer organization.
"No. At this moment, the fewer people know about this, the better." Jiang Yanli said.
Lan Xichen nodded his head in approval. He understands that Jiang Yanli is doing this to protect her brothers and to prevent the information from leaking out. If it was Lan Xichen, he would have done the same too. Lan Xichen can only pray that whatever is found by Xue Yang will not be something that will destroy the prolonged peace that was retained for many centuries.
