THE REAL PROTEGE Chapter 127: RETRIVING CAMP PHOENIX: END OF BORIS

Ling Li’s lips curled into a small, humorless smile. “You are doing this behind Feng’s back,” she observed, a small chuckle escaping her lips. The sound was chilling, a harbinger of retribution.

Boris nodded, his defeat evident in his posture. Ling Li’s chuckle echoed in the room, a sound that carried both amusent and a promise of retribution.

“You would do anything for money, right, Boris? You are aware that you are playing with fire,” Ling Li said, her laughter cold and mocking.

Boris’s face paled, and his hands trembled. “I... I didn’t have a choice. This is what I do for a living,” he stamred, his voice barely audible.

Ling Li leaned in closer, her eyes boring into his. “Boris, what would happen if Feng finds out you are selling his experint to others?” she asked, her voice soft but deadly, like a venomous whisper.

Boris’s eyes widened in fear, and his voice cracked.

Boris knew this; if Feng found out what he was doing, he would be destroyed. ’No, Feng Chang would kill him.’ Boris could only shake his head as he silently thought about his impending doom.

“Why don’t we find out?” Ling Li said, her voice cold and calculating as she pointed her finger at Dr. Gao. The room fell silent, tension thickening the air. Dr. Gao nodded after a few seconds, understanding her command.

With Mushu standing beside him holding the phone, Dr. Gao dialed Feng Zhang’s number. Boris watched in horror, the color draining from his face. He couldn’t believe what he was witnessing.

“Hello, Mr. Zhang. This is Dr. Gao. I have very vital information to report to you. It is about Mr. Boris. He has been sending all our experint information to India and Pakistan. Yes, Boris is currently here in the office.

Dr. Chun sent out the information for him,” Dr. Gao explained, his voice steady and professional.

Dr. Chun was the na of the young doctor.

“I understand, Mr. Zhang. We will keep him here until your arrival.” Dr. Gao ended the call, turning to face Ling Li.

“He said he has so important matters and will co here imdiately,” Dr. Gao inford Ling Li.

“Let’s wait and see what happens next,” Ling Li said, her eyes never leaving Boris. “Hand over the microchip in your hand.”

Boris’ eyes nearly popped out of his head when he heard the word microchip. He couldn’t believe that Ling Li had discovered it. He should never have trusted Feng’s words and underestimated Ling Li.

“Mushu, help Boris with the microchip,” Ling Li ordered with a smirk.

Without delay, Mushu strode forward, took out his Swiss knife, and cut into Boris’ arm with practiced precision, retrieving the microchip and handing it to Ling Li.

“Give it to ,” Shi Min demanded.

Just as Mushu passed the microchip to Shi Min, Boris’ phone began to ring. Mushu took the phone and put it on speaker mode.

“Master! Master! Our base is being attacked!” a man yelled on the other end.

“What?!” Boris scread, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

“They are firing at everyone and burning everything! I barely escaped!” the man on the phone panted, his voice shaky with fear.

“Imbecile!” Boris yelled, his voice filled with rage and panic. Mushu ended the call abruptly.

“That was very fast for them to retaliate against you,” Ling Li said to Boris, her tone laced with ridicule.

Before Boris could respond, his phone rang again. Mushu put it on speaker mode once more.

“Master! Our warehouse is on fire!” another voice shouted.

Mushu didn’t wait for Boris to reply and ended the call. Boris slumped his shoulders, his mind racing. He understood that this was the end for him.

Those supplies were ant for his clients, and Boris had yet to pay the manufacturers. Boris would be as good as dead in their eyes. His clients had also given him initial deposits, and now all the goods were gone.

Despair and anger boiled within him, directed at Feng Zhang for ruining everything.

“Lock them up,” Ling Li ordered, waving her hand over Boris. She needed them to be obedient to her.

“Mom, I have understood everything. I don’t think we need the fifth microchip, though we still want to know who has it,” Shi Min said, his voice calm and composed.

“That is good to know. I want to check the lab and see the five n,” Ling Li remarked, her eyes glinting with determination and resolve.

The room fell into a tense silence as they awaited Feng Zhang’s arrival, the air thick with anticipation and dread.

Mushu’s phone rang, the sharp sound slicing through the tense air. He answered quickly, his voice steady despite the urgency he felt. After a brief exchange with his subordinate, he turned to Ling Li, who was standing with an air of calm authority.

Taking the phone from Mushu, “Yes?” Ling Li’s voice was firm but unhurried.

“Supre Master, we discovered that Fen Zhang’s wife and his two-year-old son were abducted from their ho so ti ago. We have pinpointed their location. Should we proceed as planned?” the voice on the other end reported.

Ling Li’s eyes hardened. “I will send Mushu. Wait for him,” she replied curtly, handing the phone back to Mushu.

“Mushu, join the group and ensure their safe return,” Ling Li commanded, her tone brooking no argunt.

Mushu nodded, determination etched on his face. “I won’t fail, Supre Master,” he vowed before swiftly exiting, ready to lead the rescue mission.

In the pristine lab, the hum of machinery filled the air as Ling Li and Shi Min ticulously examined the experint. The room was a testant to cutting-edge science, with advanced equipnt and ticulously organized workstations. Shi Min’s eyes sparkled with determination as he studied the data.

“Mom, I can do this. I can finish what they started,” Shi Min said with a confidence that belied his youth.

Ling Li looked at her son, her expression a mixture of pride and concern.

“Son, are you sure? This is dangerous and could have severe repercussions.” Ling Li worriedly asked. She was planning to study the data and do it herself.

Shi Min squared his shoulders. “Yeah. I’ve been fascinated by this work since my college days. I’ve read every paper and every study about human androids. I couldn’t conceive of using a large animal for an experint until you entrusted all the work and businesses under Grandfather to , and I completely forgotten about this. Now that this opportunity has co, I’m ready. Leave this to ,” Shi Min affird, his voice resolute.

Ling Li sighed, seeing the fire in her son’s eyes. “Alright, but promise you’ll be careful,” she said softly, placing a hand on his shoulder.
