You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Back at the courtyard house, Lin Haifeng sat in the courtyard drinking tea, still preoccupied with the matter of the motorcade.

Lin Chen comforted his father for a few moments, then turned and walked into his underground studio.

This underground studio was personally renovated by Lin Chen using funds awarded by the system and his god-level architectural expertise. It not only boasts a top-tier security system but is also equipped with some of the world's most advanced scientific research instruments, making it practically a small national-level laboratory.

Lin Chen walked to the lab bench and took out the sealed bag containing dark purple soil.

He put on sterile gloves, used tweezers to pick up a small sample, and placed it on the slide of the high-powered electron microscope.

[Ding! God-level Biology Mastery has been unlocked!]

[Ding! God-level Chemistry Mastery has been unlocked!]

With the activation of the system skills, a massive amount of professional knowledge instantly flooded into Lin Chen's brain.

He leaned close to the eyepiece of the microscope, carefully observing the microscopic world magnified ten thousand times. In his vision, those seemingly ordinary soil particles presented a bizarre shape.

That's not soil at all! It's a mixture of spores of an unknown fungus with extremely high activity!

Under the intense light of a microscope, these spores appeared almost alive, slowly wriggling on the slide. They exhibited a dark purple, net-like structure with exceptionally tough cell walls.

Lin Chen frowned.

He used the spectral analysis function of his microscope to perform a deep scan of the internal structure of these spores. The results astonished him.

The DNA sequences of these spores showed obvious signs of artificial gene editing!

Someone is using these fungal spores to make biological weapons!

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold. These spores can multiply rapidly at room temperature. Once they enter the human body through the respiratory tract, they will grow wildly in the lungs, eventually damaging the central nervous system and driving a person into complete madness.

The powder under Zhao Biao's fingernails, the new boss of the transport team, and the yellowing of his eyes clearly indicated a mild infection. And that transport route in the southwest was definitely not carrying ordinary goods, but extremely dangerous biological agents!

Lin Chen realized the seriousness of the situation. These spores were highly contagious, and if Old Wang, who had just returned from the southwest, were also infected, the consequences would be unimaginable.

To prevent these spores from spreading in the capital or infecting those around him, Lin Chen had to take precautions.

He immediately left the underground studio and went to the fully enclosed, temperature-controlled greenhouse in the backyard of the courtyard house. Here, Lin Chen grew all kinds of rare plants and herbs that he had collected from all over the world.

Lin Chen walked to a row of culture tanks.

[Ding! God-level gardening has been unlocked!]

He selected a few rare snow lotus seeds and a few edelweiss seeds containing highly volatile toxins from the seed bank.

Lin Chen placed the seeds into a specially made mixed culture dish. Using the knowledge bestowed upon him by his divine-level horticulture, he prepared a special nutrient solution and dripped it into the culture dish.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Chen adjusted the spectral irradiation device on the top of the greenhouse, setting the light frequency to an extreme value.

A miracle happened.

Stimulated by special nutrient solutions and extreme light, the seeds began to germinate and sprout leaves at a visible speed. In less than three hours, a batch of strange plants, entirely crimson with serrated leaf edges, grew in the petri dish.

These plants emit a faint, spicy aroma.

This is the new variety that Lin Chen forcibly hybridized and cultivated using system skills—the Crimson Flame Grass!

The volatile essential oil of this red flame grass contains extremely potent alkaloids that can instantly destroy the cell walls of the unknown fungal spores, rendering them completely inactive.

Without delay, Lin Chen immediately harvested the Crimson Flame Grass and sent it into the refining equipment. After a complex process, he successfully extracted a small bottle of highly pure Crimson Flame Grass essential oil.

Afterwards, Lin Chen found some fine Suzhou embroidery silk and personally sewed several exquisite antique-style sachets. He placed specially made cotton cores soaked in Crimson Flame Grass essential oil into the sachets and sealed them with gold thread.

It was evening.

The gate of the courtyard house was pushed open.

Su Qingge, dressed in a crisp police uniform, strode in with a confident and capable air. Immediately after, Jiang Tingxue, in a white coat and carrying a forensic examination kit, returned. Finally, Ye Qingcheng arrived, clad in a bespoke business suit and high heels, exuding an aura of commanding presence, like a queen.

The presence of three stunningly beautiful women with distinct styles brightened up the entire courtyard.

"Honey, we're back!" As soon as Jiang Tingxue entered the door, she rushed into Lin Chen's arms like a little girl.

Lin Chen naturally put his arm around her slender waist, his eyes full of doting affection.

"Are you tired from work today?" Lin Chen asked softly.

"I'm exhausted. I dissected a highly decomposed corpse today, and I can still smell that stench in my nose," Jiang Tingxue said, sounding aggrieved.

Lin Chen smiled and took out the exquisite antique-style sachets from his pocket.

"Come on, one for each of you."

Lin Chen personally tied a sachet around Jiang Tingxue's waist. A faint, spicy aroma instantly filled the air.

Jiang Tingxue took a deep breath, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Wow, honey, this sachet smells amazing! It makes me feel so clear-headed, and all that nausea is gone!"

Su Qingge and Ye Qingcheng also came over, looking curiously at the sachets in Lin Chen's hand. Lin Chen walked over and casually tied them around their waists as well.

"There's a lot of flu in the capital lately, so this sachet is a special one I made to ward off evil spirits and poison." Lin Chen looked at the three women, his tone becoming extremely serious. "Remember, during this period, you must wear it wherever you go. Even when you're showering or sleeping, keep it next to your pillow. Never leave it behind, understand?"

Ye Qingcheng looked at the sachet at her waist and felt the domineering yet caring tone in Lin Chen's words, which warmed her heart.

"I know, honey. I'll never take off the things you gave me, even if it kills me," Ye Qingcheng replied domineeringly.

Su Qingge blushed and muttered softly, "So mysterious, but the smell is really nice."

Lin Chen took out another sachet and placed it on the table.

"This is for Ke'er. I'll put it on her when she comes tomorrow."
