The Magnificent Son-in-law Chapter 980 980: As Unreliable As Ever

Ding San turned his back to Xiao Feng and Yu Qiao, using a magnifying glass by the window for a long ti. He walked back and said, "This sphere does have a special material; from the surface, you can't see any traces of artificial processing, as if it's naturally ford.

It's hard to discern just with the naked eye. We'll need to extract a small sample and then conduct a series of tests to know for sure."

The words raised a question in Xiao Feng's mind, "Is this so-called 'San' truly an expert?"

It's already confird there's Sanskrit on it, yet he insisted there's "no sign of artificial processing." Could those words truly be naturally ford?

Even if they are, the idea of extracting a small sample is sothing Xiao Feng absolutely cannot accept.

"Specifically, what do you an by extracting a sample?" Xiao Feng asked.

Ding San's expression remained unchanged, letting out a dry laugh, "It's simple, just scrape a little fragnt off the surface of this sphere, then test the composition to determine the material."

"Is there really no other way except this?" Xiao Feng continued to press.

"Yes." Ding San nodded affirmatively.

Xiao Feng extended his hand. "I'd rather have the sphere back. Taking samples from the surface is sothing I can't accept."

Ding San paused, seemingly encountering such a situation for the first ti, and retorted, "But without extracting samples, how can we know what's in this thing?"

"Then I'll have to seek soone else, or just leave it unknown." Xiao Feng replied calmly.

Seeing Xiao Feng's resolute attitude, Yu Qiao spoke up, "Expert Ding, why don't you think about another thod?"

Ding San glanced at Yu Qiao, pondered for a long mont, and nodded, "Alright, leave it with , I'll think about other thods."

With that said, he walked towards the stairs under Xiao Feng's suspicious gaze.

"It's almost lunchti; why not stay for a al?" Yu Qiao asked softly.

Xiao Feng shook his head, "No need, I'll co to collect it tomorrow."

Yu Qiao opened her mouth as if wanting to ask him to stay, but she ultimately said nothing.

Only after accompanying Xiao Feng out of the villa district did Yu Qiao turn back.

She didn't realize that the person she just sent away had quietly re-entered the villa district from another direction.

Xiao Feng walked briskly towards Ding San's residence, silently cursing Wang Lubo for his unreliable ways as always.

Honestly, handing the sphere to a so-called expert called 'San', he couldn't feel at ease no matter what.

So, coming back to see the situation for himself seed like the right thing to do.

...

Back in the villa's living room, Yu Qiao sat on the sofa, legs crossed, tapping her slender fingers on her knee as if contemplating sothing.

At this mont, Ding San ca downstairs, speaking in a dull tone, "It's fine to swindle a bit of money, but it's best not to go overboard."

"Ha! Why don't you say that to yourself?" Yu Qiao dismissed him disdainfully, "Do you think I don't know how lively you get with those rich ladies?"

"Is this how you speak to your father?" Ding San said angrily, his expression no longer emotionless.

Yu Qiao sneered, "If it wasn't for , you'd still be farming back ho. I've given you this current life, and that's a big gesture of filial piety."

Ding San was at a loss for words, forced to change the subject, "Hurry up and take food to your third uncle."

Finishing his words, he headed upstairs again.

Yu Qiao remained seated on the sofa, Xiao Feng's handso face flashing in her mind. She bit her red lips with her pearly white teeth, then smiled charmingly, whispered, "He does look good, just a pity I don't know how he performs in bed..."

A while later, the doorbell rang.

She glanced at the ti, got up and walked out of the villa, returning with three takeaway als in hand.

Placing two on the coffee table, Yu Qiao carried the remaining one to a corner in the courtyard, heading to a locked building.

From the outside, the building looked like a toilet or storage hut.

Considering the small size, few would choose to live in a place like this.

Yet inside… there was indeed soone living.

Yu Qiao pulled out a key, opened the door, and entered the small room.

A bed occupied two-thirds of the room's space, while a table took half of the remaining third; only a small area was left for a single person to stand.

On the bed lay a man with his hands and feet bound, mouth taped shut, his eyes almost devoid of spirit.

"Third uncle, I've brought you food." Yu Qiao said sweetly as she casually closed the door.

From his appearance, the man looked about seventy or eighty percent similar to Ding San in the villa, but he lacked vitality compared to him.

Yu Qiao first ripped the tape off the man's mouth, then pulled out a sharp knife, hovering it by his neck, only then undoing the ropes binding him.

"Stretch your limbs a bit, third uncle."

The man heeded her words, standing chanically to exercise his limbs.

This process lasted for five minutes, and the man sat back on the bed, allowing Yu Qiao to tie him up again.

"Third uncle, these past two years have been tough on you." Yu Qiao said as she opened the food box, "Rest assured, by year end, my father and I will leave this place.

By then, you'll still be the mineral research expert Ding San."

These words were clearly overheard by Xiao Feng outside the door.

His eyes narrowed; if this was the real Ding San inside, then the one he just t...

A conspiracy chain quickly ford in Xiao Feng's mind.

However, he didn't plan to rush in imdiately. Instead, he chose to wait and listen to what else they might say.

In the small room, Ding San opened his mouth, eating a bit of the al Yu Qiao fed him, sighed and said, "Why?

Why do you treat like this?

If it's money, I can give you, if it's sothing else, I'm open to discussion.

Have I ever wronged you in any way?"

"Indeed, you haven't." Yu Qiao stopped her actions, taking a deep breath, "You've asked this question many tis. If you insist on a reason, then it's quite simple.

My father and I wanted a better life, but we don't have your real skills.

So we had to resort to ans that couldn't see the light."

"But I can give you all of these." Ding San gritted his teeth and said.

"Ha!"

Yu Qiao burst into laughter, "Instead of giving, it's more like charity.

Do you recall the condition you had when you funded my university education?"

Ding San paused, frowned, thought for a long ti, and nodded, "I asked you to choose a geology and mineral program."

"Exactly!" Yu Qiao snorted coldly, "Geology and minerals, I had no interest in these, but you insisted on them. If I didn't listen to you, you wouldn't pay my tuition, blocking everything I wanted to say.

Do you know how painful it is to learn sothing you have no interest in? Do you know how many tis I stood on the rooftop of the teaching building, tempted to jump down?"

At this point, Yu Qiao suddenly beca emotional.

She forcefully rolled up her left sleeve, revealing the intersecting scars all over.
