Olive didnāt expect Han Zhengzhi to be gone so quickly. When she heard Su Bai talking about this, she was thoroughly surprised.
āI donāt know much else about Han Zhengzhi either,ā Olive said hesitantly.
Su Bai smiled, āCome with me.ā
Olive felt a sense of dread, but she couldnāt decline since she couldnāt say she had too much work. So, she used the excuse of continuing the conversation later.
Su Bai was Oliveās immediate superior now. If she didnāt perform well, she might be dismissed. So, she cautiously followed behind Su Bai.

Yan Yi looked in Oliveās direction with some worry. Even when Olive followed Su Bai into a room, he remained somewhat uneasy.
Yan Yi couldnāt help but wonder. He asked, āI wonder, is Olive okay? Could it be that she was a spy, and Su Bai caught her?ā
Yan Xuan looked at Yan Yi who was now stepping into the grave of love. He sighed inwardly. But this was a great opportunity to mess with Yan Yi.
āWhat if she really was a spy?ā Yan Xuan asked.
Yan Yi hesitated and said, āI donāt think our boss is unreasonable. Since Olive arrived here, she hasnāt done anything wrong.ā
Yan Xuan pushed his glasses up. There was some truth in the saying, love is blind.
Before Yan Xuan appeared, Yan Yi was smart, decorated and a student a teacher was proud of. Yan Yi was loaded with various eccentricities, but love drained his intelligence.
āIs it possible that even though she hasnāt done anything wrong, every weapon she made is classified?ā Yan Xuan asked.
Yan Yi rolled his eyes and said, āI think you have a problem with Olive.ā Yan Xuan clicked his tongue and responded, āI have no issue with her. I only have an issue with you.ā
Although the two were bickering, Yan Yiās sense of unease didnāt dissipate. He asked, āSo, whatās really going on?ā
Then Yan Yi raised an eyebrow at Lu Le.
Lu Le didnāt react because he trusted Su Bai. šÆš§š®š®šš®šš·šøš«š®š”.ššøš
On the other hand, Murong Xue was somewhat worried. She was quite fond of
Olive. While working on alchemy, Olive was very diligent. Even the little robots Olive made had qualities that girls liked. They were far more aesthetically pleasing than those made by the guys.
Bing Qingqing sighed, āI think it should be fine. The boss is just asking questions about Han Zhengzhi. It doesnāt seem like a big problem.ā
But this wasnāt very comforting for Yan Yi. Just as he was about to say something, Yan Xuan put tape over his mouth.
āYou focus on your work. The boss will be out soon. If there really is a problem, being anxious here wonāt help! Itās better to wait until Olive comes out to say anything.ā Yan Xuan said.
Lu Le couldnāt help but chuckle, āIt looks like youāre sucking up. If I didnāt
know, Iād think you two were in love!ā
Yan Yi rolled his eyes and said, āYou donāt understand. Sheāll accept me!ā Yan Xuan was about to say something else, but he realized that it was good he found out about Yan Yiās temperament.
Olive had once taken off the necklace around her neck while working on alchemy. It was in the shape of a ring, and Yan Xuan was curious, so he picked it up to take a look. There seemed to be a name inside the ring, and that name wasnāt Oliveās.
Yan Xuan didnāt bother speculating on this love-hate relationship. As long as he could finish the tasks arranged by Su Bai, it was enough. As for whether he believed Olive, he only believed in Su Bail s judgment and skills.
In the room, Olive looked at Su Bai with worry all over her face. Her anxious appearance amused Su Bai.
Su Bai concealed the urge to smile in his eyes and said in a serious tone, āSince you donāt want to say it in front of them, tell me now.ā
Olive cleared her throat, āBoss, what are you referring to?ā
Su Bai sneered, āYour identity. Youāre someone who escaped from your family, arenāt you? It seems your family is looking for you. If I investigate a bit, pack you up, and send you back, your family might send me a bunch of resources.ā Of course, this was just to provoke Olive.
It was written all over Oliveās face that she had run away from her family or was seeking a different path of development against her familyās arrangements.
Su Bai didnāt want to make it clear before, but now he wanted to know about Han Zhengzhi. It was a good opportunity for Olive to be honest about her identity.
Oliveās mouth twitched and said, āYou know already, so why are you asking me? They probably wonāt be looking for me now. My brother told me to go home on my own. Even if you pack me up and send me back, you wonāt get any resources from them.ā
Oliveās stubbornness intrigued Su Bai. He decided to tease her, āSince thatās the case, I shall send you home then. I havenāt really checked on you actually. But
Iām gonna do it now and see if your family would reward me with resources or
not. ā
Seeing that Su Bai was about to stand up, Olive hurriedly stopped Su Bai. She stared at Su Bai and said, āBoss! Iām so sorry! I do come from a small family. But trust me, even if they looked as if they could give you what you want, they can never give you the same benefit I could!ā
Su Bai raised his brow and said nothing.
Olive retracted her hand from Su Bai and continued, āMy family wants me to be the next matriarch. I didnāt want to, so I ran away from home. But my brother did mention that he wanted me to gain some experience outsideā¦ā
Oliveās voice got softer as she spoke, and Su Bai continued watching her. She added, āOf course, my brother still wishes me to go homeā¦ Though they didnāt know where I was, they didnāt hinder my freedomā¦ā
Su Bai couldnāt bear to expose Olive. He was having a dilemma. Su Bai couldnāt help but shake his head and said, āI believe in you, but I suggest you tell everyone this by yourself. Everyone believes in you and they would help you keep it a secret. If you donāt tell them, they will suspect you even more.ā
Olive nodded and said, āYeah, I will tell them. But Boss, what do you want to know about Han Zhengzhi?ā
āI want to know if thereās any difference between Han Zhengzhiās body and othersā bodies.ā Su Bai said.
Olive contemplated seriously. In fact, she didnāt know much about Han Zhengzhi. She said, āMy brother cooperated with him before and told me to stay away from him after the collaboration ended. But my brother seemed to vaguely imply that Han Zhengzhi is a result of experiments. This person, Han Zhengzhi, is an experimental subject.ā
Su Bai narrowed his eyes and asked, āIs there anything else?ā
Olive shook her head and responded, āThatās pretty much it. My brother thought he was too dangerous and asked me to stay away from him..ā
