Fake heiress Real heroine

Chapter 171 At noon, Lionel treated Calvin and Quinlyn to an extravagant meal.

Calvin was confused and quietly asked Quinlyn at the table, "What did you show him from your research?" Before they came, the task force had suggested they each bring something impressive as a way to get their foot in the door for their undercover mission.

Calvin had prepared a symbiotic system from the Briarwood University Biology Department, which he thought was pretty impressive. But after Lionel saw it, his reaction was lukewarm.

Calvin spent the whole ride reflecting on where his work had fallen short.

Quinlyn, meanwhile, was happily munching on fries dipped in ketchup, chewing loudly as she mumbled, "I showed him the drug production plan." Calvin's eyes widened. 'Are you crazy? Can you just give him something like that?' He was so flustered that he grabbed the fries right out of Quinlyn's hand.

Quinlyn glanced back at Calvin, pushing the plate toward him, reminding him not to snatch her fries. “There are plenty more fries here." 'I'm not craving your fries at all, okay?' Calvin thought sarcastically. He was getting more and more anxious. Just then, Lionel, sitting across from them, warned, "What do you think you're doing? Don't you know how precious a biologist's hands are? What if Quinlyn gets hurt? Let go." It took a moment for Calvin to realize they were undercover, and a cold sweat almost broke out.

Even though he was much older than Quinlyn, he was nowhere near as calm as she was. Initially, he wanted to protect her, but now he felt embarrassed by his own actions.

They finished their meal and had scoffee, slowly passing into the afternoon.

Lionel took a phone call, then cheerfully invited. "How about we take a tour of the lab? This morning, I showed the experts Quinlyn's report. Sof them didn't quite understand it. They were hoping you could explain it to them." It turned out that Lionel had spent the morning taking them around to stall and verify the authenticity of the plan. But after all that time, those people still hadn't figured it out.

Quinlyn didn't refuse, getting up to follow Lionel out. The three of them rode the elevator down to the basement. As they reached the bottom, Lionel pressed the alert button above. The elevator noticeably dropped a little.

When the metal door opened, a blast of cold air hit them, and Calvin, in his short-sleeved shirt, couldn't help but shiver.

The entire space was flooded with bright white lights. Through layers of glass, they could see room after room filled with countless high-tech instruments. Sof these devices were so advanced that even Briarwood University had yet to acquire them.

Calvin hadn't expected Lionel to have built the lab underground.

Lionel stopped in front of one of the glass rooms, pushed the door open, and after a few questions, furrowed his brow.

He turned back to Quinlyn with a smile. “Quinlyn, they can't make sense of it. Looks like it's up to you to show your stuff." Quinlyn glanced at the group of over a dozen lab-coated experts, nodded, and spoke with a hint of disdain, "Looks like they're not very sharp. I naturally wouldn't put the core technology in the report." Chapter 171 5 Lionel froze for a moment, unable to tell whether she was insulting the experts.

But for the sake of the formula ratios, Lionel sweet-talked Quinlyn and led her to the workstation.

Calvin, seeing that he wasn't involved, was about to go explore other parts of the lab when he was stopped. "Calvin, don't rush off. Stay here and watch. Once Quinlyn's done making the product, we can all leave together," Lionel said, turning around and forcing a smile.

Calvin froze for a moment, then realized they were now in their secret base.

If Quinlyn couldn't produce the drug, they might not get out of there alive. The atmosphere suddenly turned tense.

Only Quinlyn, standing by the workstation, remained calm. She wore goggles and gloves, adding materials to petri dishes while swiftly switching tools.

The biologists around her, who were prepared to be amazed, were all dumbfounded. ‘She didn't measure the grams or check ratios? She's just diving straight into the experiment?' they thought.

In fact, Quinlyn had an exceptional sense of perception. After handling something more than three times, she could almost always estimate its weight down to the gram. There were very few exceptions.

In the midst of the dazzling crowd, Quinlyn took only two minutes to prepare the solution in the petri dish and toss it into the machine. A few minutes later, a crystal was produced.

Quinlyn peeled it off and placed it into a small bag. The powdery white substance indeed looked like drugs.

"Is it done?" Lionel didn't expect it to be so simple.

Quinlyn nodded and extended her hand. “Want to try?" "No, I've never used drugs, so I wouldn't be able to tell if it's good or bad," Lionel replied with a smile, declining.

As a businessman, Lionel was not foolish enough to get addicted himself. "I'll find someone else to test it." Quinlyn didn't insist. After tossing the items to him, she walked away.

Afterward, Lionel was busy testing the purity of the drug.

Quinlyn and Calvin were sent to a hotel to rest. Actually, they were being monitored with two men in black standing outside the door.

"Is that really a drug? The kind that can make people addicted?" As soon as they entered, Calvin immediately asked impatiently.

Quinlyn glanced around the room, casually feeling beneath the desk, and nodded. "Yes." Calvin was frustrated. "Did you think about the consequences of this? Did they agree with what you're doing?" He was, of course, referring to the task force.

Once Quinlyn confirmed there were no monitoring or listening devices, she sat down on the sofa and spoke. “I made the drug, but it won't harm the body." Calvin was still skeptical. “Then how are you going to make them believe you?" If the drug couldn't cause addiction, Lionel would definitely not let them off the hook.

"I have my ways." Quinlyn suddenly looked at Calvin, her face blank, her eyes deep. "But right now, it's you who doesn't trust me.* 28 Mar 80% Chapter 171 At that, Calvin paused. "I'm just worried."

"You don't need to." Quinlyn shook her head, interrupting Calvin. "If you can't cooperate with me, you will only slowdown. You should go back now." Calvin froze. He hadn't expected Quinlyn to pull out so early in the investigation.

His concerns were based on adult caution. After all, that was a drug production plan, which, if leaked, could pose a great threat.

But Quinlyn had already made her decision and wouldn't change it. She immediately walked to the door and had the men in black remove Calvin.

"I don't need him anymore." It sounded like she had used him as a stepping stone and was now discarding him.

The men in black hesitated, unsure, and called Lionel for guidance.

Lionel, seemingly having just received good news, was in a bright mood and casually waved his hand. "Just do what Ms. Yates says. Get rid of him." 'Quinlyn is the real genius. That impostor doesn't matter,' Lionel thought to himself.

"Understood," the men in black responded and asked Quinlyn how she wanted to handle Calvin.

Quinlyn didn't think much of it. "I'll give him an injection. You can throw him into the river."

Ignoring Calvin's struggles, Quinlyn took an unknown drug from her bag and forcibly injected it into him. Once Calvin was completely still, she waved her hand, signaling the men in black to take him away. "I want to see him disappear," Quinlyn said.

The two men in black were taken aback by this ruthless girl. A chill ran down their spines. They didn't dare defy her and carried Calvin downstairs.

In front of the hotel was a large river. The two men in black threw Calvin into a sack over the fence and then tossed it into the water.

Splash! The sack, weighed down with a large stone, sank quickly. It was still daytime, and worried about being seen, the two men in black hurried back.

Both roads were temporarily blocked by Hope Biotech Group's maintenance vehicles. Therefore, no one saw a kayak quickly pull the sack out from the empty river.
