The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds and slowly fell on the eaves of the village.
Jiang Yanwan stayed awake all night, thinking about how to expose Ling Xiao's true face.
She knew that if she wanted to completely defeat her opponent, she had to go deep into the enemy camp and find key evidence.
After breakfast, Jiang Yanwan took the initiative to find Ling Xiao and said softly, "Brother Ling Xiao, your equipment is quite similar to the gunpowder I know, but it seems that there are still some shortcomings in some details."
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise and interest. He slowly approached her and whispered, "Oh? Miss Yan Wan is indeed knowledgeable. Can you give me some detailed advice?"
Jiang Yanwan smiled and nodded, secretly glad that her words caught his attention: "Of course. However, these matters should be discussed in a secret place to prevent information leakage."
Ling Xiao agreed with her suggestion and immediately arranged a secret room as the venue for the discussion. When the two entered the carefully decorated room, several of his men quickly closed the door and waited outside.
In the secret room, Ling Xiao spread out some drawings and experimental equipment on the table and looked at Jiang Yanwan attentively: "Miss Yanwan, please give me some advice."
Jiang Yanwan walked forward and carefully examined the drawings, pretending to think seriously, but actually looking for flaws: "The gunpowder ratio in your design is a bit too high, which may easily lead to an uncontrolled explosion. And the length of the fuse also needs to be readjusted, otherwise it will not ignite in time."
As she explained, she was working out the next plan in her mind. Ling Xiao listened attentively, nodding from time to time, showing that he approved of Jiang Yanwan's analysis.
"I see. It seems there are indeed quite a few problems. Miss Yan Wan is truly talented." Ling Xiao exclaimed, with more trust in his eyes.
Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly and continued, "In that case, I am willing to participate in the research of this batch of gunpowder, hoping to provide you with more help."
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He clapped his hands to show his agreement: "Okay! With Miss Yan Wan joining us, I believe our research will be able to reach a higher level."
After Jiang Yanwan finished her conversation with Ling Xiao in the secret room, she followed him to the laboratory.
She just began to observe her surroundings carefully, silently noting down important details.
A group of young technicians and bandits were busy adjusting their equipment. When they saw them come in, they stopped what they were doing.
Ling Xiao introduced to everyone: "This is Miss Jiang Yanwan. From today on, she will study these equipment with us. Everyone must listen carefully to her opinions."
A young bandit named Liu Rui was present. He was quite dissatisfied with a woman interfering in their military research and sneered, "What can a woman know about war? Brother Ling Xiao, are you overestimating her?"
Jiang Yanwan's eyes turned cold, but she still had a gentle smile on her face. She walked up to Liu Rui and said, "Since Brother Liu Rui has doubts about my ability, why not try to see how much help I can provide to you?"
Liu Rui snorted disdainfully, "Then please let the girl demonstrate it to you."
Jiang Yanwan took out a small bottle of powder from her waist and gently sprinkled it on Liu Rui's shoulders in a way that no one could see. The action was so quick and skillful that Liu Rui didn't even notice it.
After a moment, Liu Rui suddenly felt numb all over, his limbs became weak, he could not stand and fell directly to the ground.
He was horrified and struggled to ask, "What's going on?"
Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly and looked down at him: "These are just some ordinary poisonous insects. This kind of poisonous insect can quickly affect the human nervous system and make people lose their ability to move instantly. If you say a few more disrespectful words, it will probably be more uncomfortable."
After seeing this scene, the others were all in awe, and no one dared to question Jiang Yanwan's strength anymore.
Ling Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Miss Yan Wan is indeed extraordinary. Everyone should respect her in the future."
After Liu Rui was helped up, he managed to stand still and said to Jiang Yanwan: "Miss Jiang, I was wrong, please forgive me."
Jiang Yanwan smiled calmly and waved her hand to signal him that it was okay: "It's okay. I just hope that everyone can help wholeheartedly in the future and strive to do the best research."
From then on, Jiang Yanwan's position in the village was consolidated, and everyone was in awe of her.
She used this time to gradually gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings of the village. She also redoubled her efforts to study the equipment and provided a lot of key suggestions to Ling Xiao and others.
One night, Jiang Yanwan sneaked into Ling Xiao's private study when no one was paying attention, hoping to find more of his secrets. There were piles of files in the study, and she carefully searched through them, and finally found some key clues in a letter.
The letter mentioned that Ling Xiao was secretly cooperating with a mysterious organization from outside and they planned to use these weapons to launch a large-scale attack.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Jiang Yanwan quickly put the letter into her pocket and prepared to act when the opportunity arises.
The next morning, Jiang Yanwan appeared in the laboratory again and continued to discuss the new design with everyone.
When she proposed some improvement plans, Ling Xiao asked in confusion: "Miss Yan Wan, why are your ideas so radical these days? Do you have any special considerations?"
Jiang Yanwan was shocked, but she remained calm: "Of course it is to prevent you from having any accidents in the battle. We must always be prepared to meet any challenge, otherwise we will be passive."
Ling Xiao nodded, obviously accepting the answer.
But he still had some doubts in his heart, so he decided to arrange someone to closely monitor Jiang Yanwan's actions.
One night a few days later, Jiang Yanwan decided to take action.
She copied the key intelligence and wrote a letter to someone outside, hoping that it could be delivered in time. Just as she was about to leave the study, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
She hurriedly hid the letter and pretended to sort the materials on the bookshelf. The door was pushed open and Ling Xiao walked in. He glanced at Jiang Yanwan sharply and asked slowly, "Miss Yanwan, why are you still here so late? What are you doing?"
Jiang Yanwan's heartbeat quickened, but she still smiled: "Brother Lingxiao, these files are too complicated. I want to help you sort them out so that you can check them later."
Ling Xiao took a few steps closer to her and looked her straight in the eyes: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Yan Wan. However, it's late at night, so you'd better go to bed early."
Jiang Yanwan nodded, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and left the study. When she returned to her residence, a subordinate quietly handed her a pigeon. She quickly tied the letter to the pigeon's leg and released it.
"I hope this letter can be delivered to the outside world smoothly," Jiang Yanwan murmured to herself.
The next morning, Ling Xiao gathered everyone together and announced that an important experiment was about to be conducted.
He specifically asked Jiang Yanwan to participate, as if to test her true strength.
After the experiment began, Jiang Yanwan actively cooperated while paying attention to the movements around her. She knew that this opportunity might be the best time to expose Ling Xiao's conspiracy.
Just as she was concentrating on adjusting the detonator, Ling Xiao suddenly said to her: "Miss Yan Wan, you seem to be very concerned about every detail of these weapons. Do you have any special improvement plans?"
Jiang Yanwan pretended to think and quickly replied: "Actually, I have always wanted to make some improvements to the detonator to make it more stable and more efficient."
Ling Xiao smiled slightly: "Okay, then you will complete this task."
Jiang Yanwan knew that this was Ling Xiao's final test for her. If she failed, she would probably be suspected.
