Chapter 2079 - 2070: Unique Fragrance

A video was sent over directly.

It showed Tom holding a phone.

"Boss, you can’t just run away, I’m still here. You can’t be so unloyal, can you? They said if you don’t come, they’re going to cut off my manhood. I’ve got elderly and young ones depending on me, and a wife at home. If I lose my manhood, my wife definitely won’t want me anymore. She’s someone who needs that kind of intimacy. I can’t lose my family, please come save me."

Ye Ning saw in the video, someone in the background waving a knife threateningly at him, and he could only plead pitifully into the camera.

Ye Ning watched, thought for a moment, then said to An, who was beside her, "Hey, Mr. An, see, this guy is someone who’s paying you protection money, right? You can’t just ignore him, can you? Now he’s about to be killed, aren’t you going to check it out?"

An seemed to glance at her, signaling to the person beside him.

The person beside turned back, checked something, then nodded to him.

It seemed like they had confirmed whether this person was under their protection.

Having checked, they said to her, "Alright, even though this trouble was caused by you, since we promised to protect him, we will definitely do so. Let’s go."

"Okay, okay."

Ye Ning followed him and got up.

She smelled a rather pungent fragrance from him, maybe it was some kind of perfume.

Ye Ning thought this was probably part of the disguise, since some people have a distinctive body scent that can be recognized over time.

Like Mu Yeli, who always had a grassy scent; she hadn’t smelled that on anyone else.

Ye Ning wrinkled her nose and followed him out.

As they walked, Ye Ning said, "Hey, is your voice change because of a device, or do you modulate it yourself?"

He didn’t answer.

She said, "If it were me, I’d choose to use a voice modifier. Modulating it yourself must be too tiring."

He gave her a glance.

She said, "And, why are you investigating special physiques? Do you have some kind of project? Can you make money investigating this?"

It was only then that he seriously looked down at her, "So, are you a special physique?"

Ye Ning froze, "Didn’t you all already know quite a bit about me?"

He said, "I found out about your special constitution. I just hope you can tell me honestly."

"Well..."

Before she could speak, he continued, "Like you said, let’s not waste each other’s time. Just say it—do you want to tell me yourself, or should I have you dragged to the Laboratory for hundreds of tests to prove it?"

"Alright, alright, I am, I am, okay?"

Ye Ning rolled her eyes.

He looked at her again, then said, "Does your family know about your special constitution?"

Family?

Mu Yeli?

Ye Ning moved her lips, "If it were you, would you tell your family about something so strange?"

"Why not tell them?"

Ye Ning looked at him, "Are you a special physique too?"

"Obviously not."

"So you might not understand that such bizarre things aren’t generally believed. Secondly, if they do believe it, they might be scared; if they’re not scared, then you worry they might be too concerned."

She looked at him.
