Chapter 735: Chapter 724: Escape Again
Surprise flickered in the depths of Qiao Jing’s eyes.
These people hadn't taken her phone away?
However, she didn’t think they were careless enough to allow her to communicate with the outside world by
leaving her the phone. Either they had tampered with the device, or they had disabled it in sother way to
prevent her from sending messages.
As soon as Qiao Jing powered on her phone, she saw the no-signal icon at the top-right corner of the screen.
A sly smile slowly curved her lips as she let out a cold chuckle.
"Hmph."
Just as she had suspected, they had jammed the signals in the area. But this trick was useless against her.
Qiao Jing entered a few codes at random, and her phone quickly connected to a unique signal channel she had
created out of boredom in the past.
She immediately accessed real-tsurveillance of the entire research institute and saw that two guards were
stationed outside the door of her lab, one on each side.
Qiao Jing’s brows furrowed as she rapidly reviewed the surveillance of the whole institute. In her mind, she
constructed a blueprint that included the exits, which she saw very clearly.
Now that she knew the layout, she turned her attention to the patrolling guards, who seemed to envelop the
institute in layers, both inside and out.
Moreover, the main forces were all dispersed around her section, tightly enclosed, clearly a special arrangement
for her.
Qiao Jing didn’t continue to look at her phone. After putting it away, she stepped out of the restroom and moved
to the lab bench, pretending to be engrossed in an experiment.
Having stayed in the restroom for a considerable time, she was certain that John and the others would suspect
something, so she had to control the timing of her exit.
Although she could now contact the outside world, the situation was such that she could still find an opportunity
to escape. For now, she had to play it by ear.
Meanwhile, in the surveillance room, John, who had been closely monitoring every move Qiao Jing made, nodded
in satisfaction as he saw the figure on the screen begin to work.
"It seems Professor Qiao is quite cooperative."
All he needed was for Qiao Jing to continue her research on the hybrid wheat.

Frank, standing beside John and looking at the busy form of Qiao Jing on the screen, hesitated before speaking
up slowly.
"Mr. John, don’t you find it strange? If Professor Qiao is willing to cooperate, why did she resist us at first?"
John’s brow furrowed upon hearing Frank’s words, but he didn’t think too hard about it.
"You didn’t make our intentions clear to Professor Qiao from the beginning, so it's natural she would be unwilling
to chere. Besides, she’s from the Empire, and the fact that she’s willing to help with the experiments in M
country is a big face for us. Enough, shut your mouth!"
Having Professor Qiao’s help with the experiments was already a rare feat; how could they dare to doubt her?
Frank could only bow his head and close his mouth.
What Frank did not realize was that Qiao Jing wasn’t actually researching wheat at that moment but was instead
using sof the provided plants to make a simple anesthetic spray.
Qiao Jing placed the extracted substance into test tubes, and to ensure there would be enough, she refined
several tubes more.
Then, she poured all of the refined substance into a spray bottle.
Having done all of this, she calmly sat down on the couch, leisurely waiting for the right moment.
She knew that soon someone would cto bring her lunch.
About ten minutes later, the door to the lab opened.
A man holding a tray walked in, setting the meal down on the table opposite Qiao Jing.
"Your lunch, Professor Qiao."
Seated on the sofa, Qiao Jing nodded, then pulled out her phone and casually tapped a few times to freeze the
surveillance feed on a single frame.
The person responsible for delivering food didn’t pay any attention to Qiao Jing fiddling with her phone.
After all, the signal in this laboratory had long been jammed by Mr. John, so the phone in Professor Qiao’s hands
was essentially just a prop.
Having dealt with the room's surveillance, Qiao Jing quickly approached the food delivery person, and while they
were not paying attention, she reached into her pocket, gripping the bottle of anesthetic spray tightly.
The man, thinking his job of delivering the meal was done, greeted her and prepared to leave.
"The food is here, Professor Qiao, I'll be leaving now," he said.
Qiao Jing nodded but didn’t speak.
After the man had walked a few steps, she seized the moment and called out to stop him.
"Wait," she said.
The man thought there was something wrong with the food and stopped instantly. As he turned around, he was
met with Qiao Jing, who had somehow moved behind him without notice.
Just as he was about to ask a question, a fog-like substance was sprayed in his face, and immediately after, he
lost consciousness and collapsed to the floor.
Qiao Jing looked at the man lying on the floor and effortlessly dragged him into the bathroom, then she returned
and sat down by the sofa.
Taking advantage of the blind spot in the surveillance, she quickly restored the feed, pretended to eat her meal
for a while, and then paused the surveillance feed again.
After completing all these tasks, Qiao Jing went into the bathroom and changed into the clothes of the man.
Luckily, the food delivery man was wearing a hat, which made her disguise even more convenient.

Before leaving, she lowered the brim of her hat a bit.
After opening the door, Qiao Jing walked towards the exit at a measured pace, accurately following the layout of
the building in her mind.

Qiao Jing smoothly distanced herself from the laboratory and then quickened her pace.
But she had only taken a few steps when she was stopped by a man with a big beard.
Big Beard approached Qiao Jing and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Jack, you finished delivering the food so quickly? Didn't they tell you to make sure Professor Qiao had finished
eating before you left?" he asked.
After he finished speaking, he found it odd that she wasn’t responding and turned to look at Qiao Jing, but was
met with a sharp gaze instead.

After incapacitating Big Beard, Qiao Jing didn’t have tto drag him to a concealed location to hide; she could
only hustle towards the exit.
However, her rapid pace caught the attention of others.
Several patrol guards noticed Qiao Jing and stepped forward to intercept her.
But as soon as they reached Qiao Jing, they were immediately subdued by her anesthetic spray and collapsed
limply to the ground.
Using the anesthetic spray in her hand, Qiao Jing incapacitated everyone who recognized her and eventually
arrived at the exit.
She stepped forward to the door and reached out to grasp the doorknob.
