Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Nu City, Chinatown.

This is a three-bedroom, two-living room house.

Five people live here, two young women and three young men.

All of them are from Huaxia and speak Mandarin.

They are all recent Columbia University graduates, Chen Ling and her classmates.

After graduation, since the project they were collaborating on was unfinished, they did not seek employment.

Now, as their project is about to be completed, it has attracted the attention of the Louis Family.

Back when they were in school, Daniel had expressed an interest in negotiations, stating that if their technology were developed, he would like to secure exclusive rights.

They did not agree.

Unexpectedly, in the end the Louis Family wanted to forcefully take it.

They originally lived near the school.

After all, being able to study at Columbia University meant they were not short on money; their family circumstances were quite good.

Though they were not at the level of the wealthy, they were at least from middle-class families.

Pressured by the Louis Family, they could no longer stay in their original place and had to hide in Chinatown.

Chinatown is predominantly inhabited by ethnic Chinese, so these individuals did not stand out living here.

During this time, no incidents occurred.

Chen Ling hung up the phone from Xu Yang, her face full of excitement, "That's great, we can go back to China now!"

Her classmates all looked at her, somewhat baffled.

She had just returned and hadn't had the chance to tell her classmates about the encounter with Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong at the school gates today.

So, she explained the situation.

"Can this Xu Yang really send us back to China?" one of the men asked skeptically.

The others felt similarly.

Unlike Chen Ling, they were not very familiar with the situation back home.

They had no idea who Xu Yang was.

Even though Xu Yang was with Wang Xiaocong, it wasn't certain that Wang Xiaocong could send them back to China either.

Wang Xiaocong was a big deal, the son of Huaxia's richest man.

If they were in China, there would likely be no obstacles to what Wang Xiaocong wanted to do.

But this was not China, this was the United States.

And the Louis Family is one of the Four Great Families of Nu City, they could easily prevent Wang Xiaocong from helping them leave.

Chen Ling said, "He claimed he could, and I believe someone like him wouldn't deceive us. Besides, he said he would come over later to talk to us about something."

Another man expressed his skepticism, "What if he's in cahoots with Daniel, trying to locate us?"

Chen Ling shook her head, "That's impossible, he would never do that."

The young man still had his doubts, "Nothing is impossible with those capitalists; all they see is profit."

Chen Ling stated, "I trust him, and I've already sent him our address."

The others' expressions changed at once.

If Xu Yang really was colluding with Daniel to find them, then they were truly doomed.

Their technological secrets definitely could not be saved.

"Chen Ling, this is sheer recklessness."

"Chen Ling, how could you so readily trust him?"

"Chen Ling, you're going to get us all killed."

"Chen Ling, why didn't you discuss it with us before telling him?"

The other few felt that Chen Ling was too trusting of Xu Yang.

"You all don't understand Xu Yang; I know him well. Besides, he came to the United States for work with Wang Xiaocong and Liu Qiangxi, partnered with Ma Hua Teng."

"Someone like him wouldn't go so far as to deceive us. Besides, don't you trust my judgment in people?"

"When have I ever misjudged someone?"

"That Daniel, I said he had ulterior motives and would definitely use other means to force us, I wasn't wrong, was I?"

"Li Luo, your ex-girlfriend was nothing but a green tea bitch. I told you at the start, but you didn't believe me, and then it ended up just like I said, didn't it?"

"Feng Hai, that handsome bro of yours from the States, I said he just wanted to use you, wanted to sleep with Zhou Ya, and you didn't believe me either. Later, didn't things turn out exactly as I said?"

"And Zhao Dong, about that mentor you said would sponsor us, you claimed he was so good, but after I met him, I said he just wanted to steal our research results, and later it was proved that I was right."

"Also, Zhou Ya, those guys at school who pursued you, they all just wanted your body, didn't I speak the truth?"

Chen Ling's words left everyone speechless.

Chen Ling's ability to judge people really was very accurate.

It was because of her insight into people that they all managed to avoid many bad situations.

"Okay, we believe you," they conceded with bitter smiles.

If it was anything else, they might not believe Chen Ling, but when it came to judging people, they couldn't help but trust her.

If Chen Ling thought Xu Yang was trustworthy, then he must be trustworthy.

"By the way, you just said he wanted to talk to us about something, what is it?" Li Luo asked.

"I don't know for sure, but I promised him that as long as he sends us back to our country, we would grant him the exclusive rights to the technology, and as for the price, of course, it would be at market rate. He probably just wants to talk with us about that," Chen Ling replied.

"Him sending us back to our country, and us granting the technology rights to him sounds fine, otherwise, we might not even be able to protect our technology. We'll need to discuss the price carefully, though."

"We'll talk about these things after we're back in our country. If we can't get back, it's all in vain."

"Right, let's focus on getting back home first."

"If we can really return home tomorrow, that would be fantastic."

Thinking about the possibility of returning home tomorrow made them all very happy.

After all, encountering such a situation in the States really left them feeling anxious and unsettled.

Although they might not be in any danger to their lives, given that the embassy was aware of their situation, they still couldn't help feeling alarmed and scared.

Nobody knew what means Daniel would resort to.

...

The group joked and laughed for a while.

Half an hour passed, and they heard a knock at the door.

"It must be Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong. I'll go open the door."

Chen Ling went to open the door.

But upon opening it, instead of Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, she saw Daniel and several thugs standing at the doorway, a cold smirk on his face as he looked at her.

Chen Ling's face paled and, without a second word, she tried to shut the door.

One of the thugs stepped forward and held the door firmly, not letting Chen Ling close it.

"Daniel, what on earth do you want?" Chen Ling yelled in anger.

"Heh, what do I want? Don't you know already? I didn't expect to find you hiding here, you've been quite hard to track down. Li Luo and the rest should be inside, right?"

Daniel chuckled, feeling very pleased with himself.

After looking for so long, he had finally found where Chen Ling was staying.

Actually, he had sent people to Chinatown to search for her before, but they found nothing.

That's because Chen Ling and the others hardly ever left the house, making them virtually impossible to find.

Today, when he encountered them at the gate of Columbia University, he had people tail Chen Ling.

Chen Ling had some counter-surveillance skills, but he had learned his lesson; there had been two previous attempts to tail her, both of which Chen Ling managed to shake off.

To ensure nothing went wrong this time, he employed a well-known detective from Nu City, who finally located Chen Ling's hiding place.

After receiving word from the detective, he came with his men.

Li Luo and the others heard the commotion and came to the door.

Seeing Daniel and several thugs standing outside, their faces turned sour.

Having Daniel show up at their door was a real problem.

Looking at those thugs, it was clear they were no pushovers; they looked well-trained.

They were just students, without fighting skills, and now escaping seemed impossible.
