Chapter 1330 - Let Me Set a Trap FirstChapter 1330: Let Me Set a Trap First
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“My research is already at its final stage,” Professor Lin said. “All we need to do is find a type of metal that is a hundred times tougher than ordinary steel. By fusing the metal’s molecular structure into the overlay of the superconducting material from my research, and thus stabilizing it, it would ensure that the overlay won’t lose its effectiveness in harsh environments!”
This was obviously scripted by Chen Xiaobei. That was not the actual research result. But since those words came from Professor Lin’s own lips, it would fool the mole and the lie would be then ferried from the mole’s lips into the ears of the enemy.
But Elder Cao, who had been staring at the monitor screen, did not see the mole that Chen Xiaobei had claimed would be there.
Chen Xiaobei was already putting on a show, coordinating with Professor Lin’s performance. “This metal should be quite easy to find, right? There are a lot of alloys that are significantly stronger than regular steel!”
“It cannot be an alloy!” Professor Lin said. “As I’ve mentioned before, the metal needs to be melted down into its molecular form. If we use an alloy, once the molecular structure is disrupted, it completely loses all its stability! That’s why the metal needs to be pure and its molecular structure needs to be similar to steel!”
“That is going to difficult!” Chen Xiaobei asked, “Is there such a metal on earth?”
“I cannot confirm for sure. There’s no suitable option from all the metals that we’ve identified so far.” Professor Lin said.

Professor Lin said, “Theoretically speaking, yes. The resources on earth have nearly been completely depleted, so if China cannot find the metal, then I’m sure the Americans can’t either!”
“Then, there should be nothing to worry about, right?” Chen Xiaobei said. “Give me the research results so that I can go save Xiang Yu! I mean, the Americans won’t be able to complete the final step anyway, right?”
“But what if they…” Professor Lin said doubtfully.
Chen Xiaobei broke him off halfway, “This is not the time to have second thoughts. The Americans have only given me three days! We don’t know what they would do to my Bro Yu if we delay it!”
“Xiaobei! This is a national affair! We cannot be so rash!” Professor Lin frowned.
“National affair? Do you know how much Bro Yu has done for the country? How many tasks has he accomplished?” Chen Xiaobei was suddenly temperamental. “When he was useful to you, all you guys did was give him some shitty medals! When you’re done with him, you kick him aside and couldn’t care less if he’s dead or alive! How could you?!”
“Xiaobei! Let’s not get worked up! Xiang Yu is an outstanding soldier. We care just as much about his welfare. We wouldn’t have brought you here otherwise.” Elder Cao said.
“Stop talking nonesnese!” Chen Xiaobei said adamantly. “Bro Yu and I are good friends. I have to save him! If you don’t agree to this, I will sever all my father and son relationship with Professor Lin! I don’t have such a heartless father!”
“Don’t say that!” Professor Lin panicked. “Elder Cao, please agree to Chen Xiaobei’s request. Without this son, there will be no hope left for me. I won’t be able to continue my research ever again…”
“Y…You…” Elder Cao looked pained. He paused for a moment before saying, “Alright! It seems I don’t have any choice. I can’t possibly force the both of you to fight against each other. Our country cannot afford to lose someone like Professor Lin!”
“Xiaobei, you don’t have to worry anymore. Now that Elder Cao has given his consent, I’ll give you the research data now!” Professor Lin turned on the computer and took out a disc.
“That’s great! Then I can save Bro Yu!” Chen Xiaobei sounded very relieved, but the smile that his face carried was shifty.
Chen Xiaobei had flawlessly directed this entire show.
Chen Xiaobei was an Oscar nominated actor, but who would have known that Elder Cao and Professor Lin were both pretty actors themselves, bringing the whole act to life.
“Is he gone?” Elder Cao asked when he saw Chen Xiaobei’s smile.
“Gone!” Chen Xiaobei nodded.
“But no one showed up on the surveillance camera!” Elder Cao commented.
“Do you know about the American mutants?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“Yes, I do! The American S.H.I.E.L.D agency has numerous mutants under their employment! Their combined combat power is higher than that of Thunder Kirin!” said Elder Cao. “Wait, are you saying that the mole is a mutant?”
“Exactly, an invisible man of sorts!” Chen Xaiobei said. “That is why all the cameras could not capture him. That is how he got away!”
“Invisible man?! No wonder he didn’t show up on the screen!” Elder Cao and Professor Lin exclaimed.
“But, how could you see him?” Elder Cao asked.
“My eyes are a little bit more special.” Chen Xiaobei said.
Elder Cao sat upright and said, “Luo Puti told me before… You have Yin Yang Eyes, right?”
“Correct.” Chen Xiaobei nodded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was actually the Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes that allowed him to see the mole, but because it would be a huge hassle to explain it all, Chen Xiaobei did not bother to correct Elder Cao.
“Who is that person?” Professor Lin asked, an urgency in his voice.
“It’s your junior!” Chen Xiaobei replied.
“Zhu Zhe? How is that possible? He’s just a normal person! I’ve never noticed anything strange about him! It has never even crossed my mind that he is a mutant!”
“He has done very well in looking like he was just an ordinary person! If you had noticed it earlier, he would already have been dead!” Chen Xiaobei said. “If you don’t believe me, you can go to the bathroom now. I can guarantee that you will find him putting on his clothes in there!”
“Wearing clothes? Why?” Elder Cao asked.
“Only Zhu Zhi’s body can turn invisible. His clothes and shoes and every other external item will need to be removed. He was naked when he came out to eavesdrop just now! If I saw correctly, he has a haemorrhoid on his butt.”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
“That…” Professor Lin stammered.
“What is it, professor?” Elder Cao asked.
“Chen Xiaobei was right! Zhu Zhi did develop haemorrhoids few days ago! I was the only one who knew about that. The fact that Chen Xiaobei knows is proof that he really did see the mole, and it really is Zhu Zhi!”
“Great! Since the truth is out, I’ll send someone to catch him now!” Elder Cao said.
“No! Not yet!” Chen Xiaobei said. “The Americans have Bro Yu! I won’t be just going to America to save him, I will also be bringing Hou Sailei back! I will use Zhu Zhi as my trap. And once Hou Sailei falls into it, he will be mine!”
