Xia Sanghuan was now in a corner of the research lab.
Even a small corner here was equipped with such high - level instruments, not to mention the whole lab.
She was slightly surprised. It seemed that Leng Qiuhua had really put a lot of effort into this research lab.
She didn't dwell on this for too long and moved forward, her nerves on high alert.
After walking a few steps, Xia Sanghuan found that there was no one in the research lab.
This was undoubtedly a good opportunity for her to find the spiritual treasure!
Since there were no relevant researchers here, it meant that the spiritual treasure was still intact.
Xia Sanghuan headed straight for a storage room.
She immediately saw the box on the bookshelf. This was the box she usually used to hold the spiritual treasure.
It seemed that the people here had wanted to conduct research on it but had been delayed by something, so they had left the spiritual treasure on the shelf.
A faint smile played on Xia Sanghuan's lips.
She tiptoed and stretched her arm upwards.
When her hand touched the slightly cool box, Xia Sanghuan was overjoyed. She grabbed the box and immediately walked out of the storage room.
She didn't expect that retrieving the spiritual treasure would be so easy.
Xia Sanghuan always felt that there seemed to be someone else interfering with Leng Qiuhua's actions.
That was why she was able to retrieve the spiritual treasure so easily.
But now that the spiritual treasure was in her hands, there was no need to think too much. Xia Sanghuan smiled and weighed the box in her hand.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps echoed in the distance.
It was the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground.
Someone was coming!
Xia Sanghuan's eyes widened instantly, and the smile on her face vanished.
She felt a bit flustered but didn't stop moving. She quickly looked for a place to hide.
There happened to be a room not far away, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Xia Sanghuan gritted her teeth, and cold sweat oozed from the fingertips clutching the box.
The situation didn't allow her to think.
She had to take this gamble.
Her heart was pounding heavily, reminding her of how tense the situation was.
She rushed over quickly, closed her eyes tightly, pushed open the door, and walked in. Then she quickly closed the door behind her.
"Don't move."
A cold voice sounded in her ear.
Her heart sank completely. Xia Sanghuan knew that she had lost the gamble.
She had no way back and could only face the reality.
It was pitch - black in front of her. Xia Sanghuan forced herself to calm down. "Who are you?"
The other person didn't answer.
Xia Sanghuan tightened her grip on the box and leaned against the door.
An oppressive atmosphere filled the room for no reason.
The hand behind her slowly touched the metal doorknob.
"I said, don't move."
Even such a small movement of hers was clearly noticed by the other person.
Listening to the voice, she always felt it was a bit familiar.
The situation was critical at this moment. The door she was leaning against was her only shelter.
Xia Sanghuan's nerves tightened again. The footsteps outside the door were getting closer.
It seemed that the person had already reached the door of the room, and their hand had even touched the metal doorknob.
Sweat broke out on Xia Sanghuan's palm on the doorknob.
She could even feel the warmth from the other person's hand on the door panel.
Her heart was like an arrow on the bowstring, ready to be shot at any moment.
Xia Sanghuan took a deep breath. If she was discovered by the other person, she would have to face them head - on. No matter what, she must take the Wugu spiritual treasure away.
The doorknob was turned, making a sound of metal friction.
"Mr. Leng, someone from the research headquarters has come. They want you to take the spiritual treasure there."
Leng Qiuhua was silent for a second. "Okay."
Hearing the person outside leave,
The breath that Xia Sanghuan had been holding tightly in her heart suddenly stopped, and then she immediately let it out.
Her heart was still beating uncontrollably. Her legs went weak, and she suddenly noticed the cold sweat in her palm. The night wind blew, giving her a feeling of surviving a disaster.
She quickly became vigilant again.
Because she found that the other person in the room was looking at her.
Xia Sanghuan instinctively tightened her grip on the thing in her hand.
It was a bit dark in the room, and she couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
She forced herself to calm down at this moment, took a few small steps forward, and asked indifferently, "Who are you? What's your purpose for being here?"
The other person was completely hidden in the darkness. Only the faint moonlight through the small window allowed Xia Sanghuan to barely make out their figure.
She frowned slightly. Somehow, she felt a sense of familiarity with this person.
The other person didn't answer.
Regardless of the person's identity, Xia Sanghuan turned around and was about to walk out.
But she accidentally bumped into something in the room.
Xia Sanghuan lost her balance and stumbled forward. Her vision spun. She instinctively hugged the spiritual treasure, and in that second, many decisions flashed through her mind.
She groped around randomly with her other hand, trying to grab something to steady herself.
A scent of sandalwood filled her nostrils. Xia Sanghuan was stunned. Someone grabbed her waist, and she managed to stand still.
A look of disbelief flashed in her eyes. She quickly took a few steps back.
In the chaos, she didn't notice the silver light that flashed in the other person's hand.
"Leng Qiuhua will be back soon. Hurry up and get out." The other person suddenly spoke.
A gust of night wind blew. Xia Sanghuan could only hear the other person's faint voice and barely recognized that it was a man.
The man was right. She had to hurry up and be careful.
"Thank you." After saying this, she quickly walked out of the door.
Following the same route as before, she carefully climbed over the windbreak.
When she landed, Xia Sanghuan clearly noticed that the bodyguards' positions were different.
Before she came in, the bodyguards were standing at the door.
But now, the bodyguards were everywhere. Xia Sanghuan held her breath tightly.
The only thing that could barely hide her figure was a tree beside her.
And the car she had driven was parked a hundred meters away.
Such a long distance. She was afraid that she would be caught by the bodyguards on the way before she even reached the car.
Xia Sanghuan let out a silent groan in her heart.
It must be that Leng Qiuhua had noticed something was wrong when he left and had told the bodyguards to change their positions so that they could keep a closer eye on the research lab.
Xia Sanghuan took a deep breath.
She planned to climb over in the darkness.
Suddenly, a sports car drove up in front of her!
The car screeched to a halt in front of her, leaving a scratch on the rough ground.
"Get in the car." The person in the driver's seat was unexpectedly Leng Chuanjin.
The surrounding bodyguards had already noticed the commotion. Without much hesitation, Xia Sanghuan recovered from her surprise, opened the car door, and got in.
She closed the car door in one smooth motion.
"How did you get here..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the car sped off, rounding a bend. Xia Sanghuan almost got thrown out.
Her words were naturally swallowed back.
Seeing that they couldn't catch up, several bodyguards behind immediately adjusted a few jeeps and rammed straight towards their car.
"Don't be surprised. We've already met just now." Leng Chuanjin didn't offer much explanation.
He carefully watched the road ahead and skillfully turned the steering wheel.
One sentence was enough to sum it all up.
Xia Sanghuan quickly realized that he must also be here for the spiritual treasure.
