Chapter 421 - Yang Bingqing And Jia's First Meeting
Today was Jia's fourth attempt to escape. She had suffered defeat three times in the last few days when Mingshen caught her every time.
But today, she was confident that she would totally get out of this prison.
Why?
Because she wasn't Jia anymore. She was one of the many lab assistants Mingshen had in this wretched lab (according to Jia).
When all her attempts failed, the only way she thought that could set her free was to disguise as one of Mingshen's men. Mingle with the crowd and pretend that she was one of them. So, she patiently waited for Lu Bojing to come and take his checkup like he always did.
But he didn't. Actually, he hadn't been present for a few days now. Jia wondered what happened to him. It was always Lu Bojing, without fail, who would come to meet her. But she didn't care.
As long as any of the assistants came, it was her win. One of them entered at the regular time. It was a female assistant. She wasn't expecting Jia to attack her and knock her out, so she was unprepared.
Jia quickly donned her clothes and lab coat on. She put the mask around her face and hung her ID around her neck. She adjusted her hair. She didn't want to waste time settling her on the bed. She waited for a few minutes. Exactly how much the assistant would take for the checkup to be done. If she went out too soon in a hurry, the demon doctor will find it fishy for sure.
Then Jia stepped outside as if it was natural. She didn't seem nervous, fidgety or furtive. She acted as if she was a real assistant meant to wander around the lab.
She had an advantage. Even though her escape attempts had failed, they also helped her understand the layout of Mingshen's lab more or less. She knew what way the assistants used to come in and go out.
As she walked past a lab, she met another assistant who stepped out of it.
"Dr. Ming!"
Jia silently nodded and slightly lowered her head to block his view.
"I would need the samples for the beta testing. I forgot where you kept them."
Her brow twitched.
Damn it! How would I know?
Jia began coughing.
"What's wrong, Dr. Ming? Are you sick?"
She nodded.
"Oh!"
She coughed again to prove her point.
The other assistant nodded. "It's not good to work while you are sick. Boss will kill me for saying that…"
Jia rolled her eyes.
"I think you should take a leave for today."
Jia nodded. She pressed her brows to make it seem as if she was in pain.
"Yes, yes. You should really leave. I will talk to the Boss."
Jia nodded again and left.
Then she let out a sigh.
Thank God…
Now before I bump into another assistant, I should get out once and for all!
When Jia reached near the door, she waited for a while until some other assistant came. The ID scan wasn't a problem. But it also needed the assistant's retina scan. And if she scanned her retina, she imagined a loud alarm ringing all over the lab. She would be surrounded in a few seconds.
So she wanted someone to open the door for her with his scan, and she would take the chance and jump out while the door was open.
God was on her side. She saw an assistant walking towards the exit. He stood in front of it and scanned his ID.
Jia acted normal and natural.
Then he did his retina scan. The door opened with a click.
Jia began coughing and walked towards the door as he was about to close it. She stopped the door with her hand. The other assistant was surprised. "Dr. Ming?"
She nodded and coughed hard and pretended to get dizzy.
"You seem sick."
"Yes," she spoke in a deep and hoarse voice to mask her natural voice. "I am going home…"
"You should," he nodded.
Jia quickly walked away before he could ask anything else.
The last checkpoint was the guards that were on post outside the lab. Once again, she acted like the assistant she was supposed to be. She coughed and nodded at them. They nodded back at her.
Jia clenched her fists in the pocket.
Alright...just a few more steps. Just some more.
But then a figure bumped into her in a hurry. Jia stumbled back one step, but the figure in front of her was about to fall.
Jia widened her eyes and pulled her hand to safety. She stared at the beautiful woman in front of her. Jia figured she was middle-aged, but she didn't look her age at all. She was holding a small bag in her hand.
"Oh dear," Yang Bingqing gasped, "I am sorry."
Jia curiously looked at her. She nodded.
Then Yang Bingqing looked at her and blinked her eyes. She blinked her eyes some more.
"You... you are a woman."
Jia's mouth twitched.
Do you have any doubts?
Yang Bingqing then sharply gasped.
"Oh my God, you are a woman!"
Jia was now shocked and speechless.
Is it so difficult to believe?
"My-my son…" she had tears in her eyes, "My son also has female assistants working in his lab?"
Ah?
"Does that mean there is hope for my son to get married and give me a grandchild?" Yang Bingqing burst into tears.
This woman...what is she talking about. What son? What marriage?
Yang Bingqing then carefully stared at her. She removed her mask, making Jia jolt. Instinctively, she flipped her ID backward so that she didn't see Dr. Ming's real face. Since her back was towards the guards and stood afar, she was safe.
Yang Bingqing slowly widened her eyes. "You…"
Jia froze.
Did she recognize me? Damn it! If push came to the stove I will have to knock her out too!
"You are so beautiful!"
"..."
E-excuse me?
Yang Bingqing grabbed her hand. "Oh gosh, you are so pretty! Such a gorgeous woman works in my idiot son's lab, and I didn't know about it?"
Jia was totally confused.
Yang Bingqing jumped in excitement. "Anyway, it's not too late. So, so! My son is single."
Jia blinked her eyes.
"Are you single too?"
Huh?
"If you are, then how about dating my Mingshen?" Her eyes sparkled in delight.
!!!
What!?
