Chapter 268: Chapter 0268: Replacement (Part One)_1
The next morning.
Wang Ying was hiding in a dark corner, her gaze fixed on the entrance of the Li Family Courtyard, monitoring it closely.
After a while, a man about 1.78 meters tall, with a stooped walk and wearing a changshan, came out and headed towards the pharmacy.
The man who appeared was the Li Family’s mute servant, whose real name was Wu Yade.
Wu Yade, 28 years old, an orphan with no relatives, had been working for the Li Family for nearly five years and was a rather loyal servant.
“Xu Yang, the target is heading your way, the target is heading your way,” Wang Ying whispered into her collar.
“Received, received,” Xu Yang replied.
Dummy crossed the main road and entered Huimin Pharmacy, handing over a prescription to the pharmacist.
“Mmm-mmm!”
Dummy held up three fingers, indicating he needed medicine for three doses.
“Three doses, all right,” the pharmacist began preparing the medicine.
As Dummy was about to buy something from the medicine shelf, suddenly a hand with a handkerchief covered his nose. He smelled a strong, pungent scent and his brain went blank, collapsing to the ground.
A few minutes later, Xu Yang came out of the pharmacy, now carrying a large suitcase.
“No one must know about this, understand?” Xu Yang warned.
“I know what to do,” the pharmacist hastily replied.
Xu Yang pulled the suitcase to the side of the road where a car was parked, driven by Phoenix.
After loading the suitcase into the car, it roared away.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped beside the command center’s villa, and Xu Yang brought the suitcase inside.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When Ye Xiong saw what Dummy looked like, he couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.
Damn, how ugly is this guy!
Big head, horse face, dark skin, pockmarked with acne scars all over, how does one even begin to describe this ugliness?
“Put him on the scanning bed,” Master Lu ordered.
Xu Yang laid the unconscious Dummy on it, positioned his head, and slid him into the machine for scanning.
The machine started beeping, beams of light playing over Dummy’s head as the computer scanned him with light.
“Head scanning in progress…”
“Data scan successful, copying data…”
“Data saved successfully, please enter the replication ratio…”
Master Lu tapped a few numbers on the computer panel, and the machine beeped again.
“Making in progress…”
The continual beeping sound was accompanied by the model embryo starting to be carved by the light, and in just a few minutes, a head that was exactly like Dummy’s was created.
The facial expression was identical to Dummy’s, truly a work of Gui Fu.
Next was making the facial skin and hair, and soon, a head cover that was the spitting image of Dummy was fully revealed.
The whole process was a marvel of Gui Fu.
“I’ve seen such incredible technology in American movies but never thought Huaxia Country would have it, too; this art of disguise is truly the work of Gui Fu,” Ye Xiong remarked.
He had seen Master Lu in disguise before, but at that time, Lu had only made human skin masks, not head covers like these.
“We’re lucky that Dummy has a big head; it makes the creation process a lot easier.”
Master Lu took the head cover out, handed it to Ye Xiong, and said, “Try it on.”
When Ye put on the head cover, everyone was taken aback, almost failing to recognize him.
However, upon closer inspection, one could still see imperfections, such as around the eyes and mouth, where the edges had not yet been properly treated.
Next, Master Lu properly adhered the skin around Ye Xiong’s eyes and mouth, and after half an hour, a man identical to Dummy appeared.
“Master Lu, your skills are truly amazing,” Ye Xiong exclaimed.
Two hours later, Dummy’s face reappeared in the pharmacy.
The doctor looked at Ye Xiong strangely, as if wanting to say something but holding back.
Ye Xiong ignored him, picked up the medicine he had prepared from the table, and walked towards the Li Family Courtyard.
Passing the appearance test was no problem, but he had to be careful with many details.
Details like personality, habits, daily routines, and so on could easily give him away if he wasn’t careful.
To avoid exposing himself, Ye Xiong decided to interact with people as little as possible in public from now on.
He knew the layout of the Li Family Courtyard very well, as detailed in the intelligence report, including which wing Li Xiangxiang lived in. So after entering, he headed straight there.
As soon as he stepped through the door, suddenly a girl’s voice rang out.
“Dummy, stop right there,” she commanded.
The voice was loud and domineering.
Ye Xiong turned around to see a woman in her mid-twenties, fairly good-looking, approaching him with scorn in her eyes.
This person was the pampered and wilful daughter of Li Ba’s principal wife, Li Xiaohuan.
Li Xiaohuan, around 1.68 meters tall, was wearing a tight-fitting long dress, with large eyes that often looked people over with disdain, as if she were above everyone else.
At the moment, she was reading a book, a trendy magazine to be exact.
“Dummy, where are you going?” Li Xiaohuan walked up to Ye Xiong and asked arrogantly.
Wu wu!
Ye Xiong held up the traditional Chinese medicine he had just picked up.
“Getting medicine for that whore again? She has been sick for a year; if she keeps this up, she’ll turn into a medicine jar,” Li Xiaohuan extended her hand and commanded, “Hand over the medicine to me.”
This medicine was for Li Xiangxiang, and naturally, Ye Xiong would not hand it over, so he shook his head.
Smack!
The magazine was slammed hard onto his head as Li Xiaohuan yelled angrily, “Give me the stuff, do you hear me?”
Even though the mask was fake, that didn’t mean he could be hit at her whim.
If he hadn’t been on a mission, Ye Xiong truly would have loved to grab her and fiercely spank her thirty times to teach her what manners were.
“What are you staring at? It’s an honor for you that I even bother to hit you. Hand over the medicine quickly, or don’t blame me for being rude,” Li Xiaohuan shouted angrily.
The data showed that Dummy was typically very loyal and willing to do anything for Li Xiangxiang, the second young miss, and he would never betray her. With this in mind, Ye Xiong gripped the bag of medicine tightly, refusing to let go.
Slap, slap, slap!
Li Xiaohuan grabbed the magazine and hit him on the head repeatedly, yelling, “You dare disobey me? I’ll beat you to death!”
Ye Xiong felt furious inside!
When had he ever been treated so poorly in his life?
Even if one was a servant, without provocation, no one should be subjected to such abuse, right?
Ye Xiong looked around and, making sure no one was watching, tripped over Li Xiaohuan’s foot in the process of dodging her attacks, causing her to fall flat on the ground.
Knowing that staying any longer would bring trouble, Ye Xiong grabbed the medicine and sprinted away.
“Dummy, stop right there!” Li Xiaohuan shouted from a distance.
But Ye Xiong had already disappeared without a trace.
Holding the medicine he had picked up, Ye Xiong ran towards Li Xiangxiang’s room in the second group of wings and quickly arrived at the entrance to her room, seeing Li Xiangxiang about to come out.
