Even though she said that, Fang Yuxin still used her Spiritual Sense to inspect the Communicator inside and out. After making sure there were no issues, she nodded at her family.
Fang Jintang and the others couldn’t help but smile and shake their heads. They had actually already checked the Communicator discreetly with their Spiritual Sense when they first got their hands on it, and found nothing wrong. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have kept wearing it and using it.
Just now, because of that miniature robotic bug, they had become suspicious of Zhao Qiankun, and in their haste, they had actually forgotten this fact! It was truly inadvisable.
However, the incident with the bug still cast a psychological shadow over them; although they no longer refused to use the Communicator, they also didn’t wear it directly on their person.
Fang Yuxin, thinking about her suspicions regarding Zhao Qiankun, felt uneasy at heart and said, "Dad, Mom, Brother, I always feel something isn’t right. This miniature robotic bug doesn’t seem like something that could exist with current technology. I suspect Zhao Qiankun obtained some kind of magical ’golden finger,’ which is why he was able to bring out such a wondrous thing."
The three members of the Fang Family exchanged glances, their expressions slightly darkening with worry. Fang Yuyang pondered and said, "Xinxin, do you mean that Zhao Qiankun might have something similar to Qingmu Spiritual Mansion? Except instead of a Cultivation Spiritual Mansion, he’s obtained items from the future?"
"Perhaps from the future, or maybe from some other higher civilization—who knows?" Fang Yuxin sighed heavily, speaking with a grim expression, "But no matter which it is, the feeling Zhao Qiankun gives me is that he must have some sort of powerful trump card. Now that we have offended him, it seems we must be even more careful from now on. If I’d known it’d come to this, I wouldn’t have spoken so harshly."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuyang disagreed, saying, "Zhao Qiankun is a scumbag to begin with. Regardless of whether he has a powerful card up his sleeve or not, he has ill intentions towards you. Just because he’s formidable, should you be meek and suck up to him? That bastard will only become more demanding!"
Qu Qianhe nodded in agreement, adding, "Xinxin, your brother is right in what he just said, and what you did was correct. It also served to reveal Zhao Qiankun’s true nature, which is not without its benefits. If it weren’t for your attitude irritating him, why would he get so embarrassed and angry that he’d use such a miniature robotic bug to monitor you?"
Although they had no concrete evidence in their hands, and everything about Zhao Qiankun was pure conjecture, Fang Yuyang and the others all felt that Fang Yuxin’s suspicions about Zhao Qiankun were not unfounded. Not only had Zhao Qiankun produced Communicators and blood-testing strips, but there had always been rumors that many other research projects were ongoing in his institute.
