Most of the time, Gun found that women seemed to like to solve problems in such a simple and brute - force way.
The door was kicked open. Just as the two were about to leave, the masks in the mask room suddenly started moving for no apparent reason and kept trembling.
Watching the spinning floor speed up, Gun didn't think twice. He immediately picked up the woman and stuffed her into the door. He himself also wanted to go through, but unfortunately, he was blocked outside.
As soon as Shen Jianyi came in, she saw the man on the sofa. The man looked at her in horror, and there was a remote control in his hand. The remote control should be the device that controlled the rotating tray.
She walked forward step by step. With each step, her aura seemed to grow stronger.
At this moment, the man felt scared. He stood up and hid the remote control behind his back.
"Shen Jianyi, you've finally come."
It was needless to say that the man who could recognize her at once must be Xu Wenji.
He was fully dressed, and he slowly took off the mask covering his face. This was the real Xu Wenji.
He had been hiding in such a place. Shen Jianyi wanted to grab the remote control first and then subdue the man. Xu Wenji was always a tough nut to crack.
She took a few steps forward and stood in front of Xu Wenji. She still remained calm as she reached out her hand, saying, "Give me the remote control, or bring in the person I'm looking for."
"Absolutely not!" Xu Wenji refused without hesitation. "Shen Jianyi, doesn't it feel bad to be hunted by the organization?"
Shen Jianyi really couldn't figure it out. They had no deep - seated grudges in the research institute before. On the contrary, they often went on missions together.
But now, she didn't know what he had been through. Xu Wenji had stolen the chip and framed her for it.
Shen Jianyi frowned slightly. "Xu Wenji, why on earth are you doing this? The research institute pays you well enough, doesn't it?"
Every time they completed a mission, the research institute would pay them half of the mission's reward. So the people in the research institute had never lacked money since childhood.
But now, Xu Wenji had done such a thing for money. He framed her just to make more money and then leave the city or even the country as soon as possible. This really puzzled Shen Jianyi.
Even though Shen Jianyi asked, Xu Wenji still refused to tell the truth. He simply ignored her question.
Xu Wenji took two steps back, picked up a dagger from the table, and held it tightly in his hand.
Seeing this, Shen Jianyi showed no expression, and her emotions remained calm.
Over such a long period, Xu Wenji had done such things again and again. Every time, his goal was to make her completely take the blame for stealing the chip.
Now, both the research institute and the professor thought that it was Shen Jianyi who had done these things, and they had even kicked her out of the research institute. But why was Xu Wenji still not willing to stop? What on earth was his goal?
Shen Jianyi tried to stay calm. She clenched her fists and said bravely, "I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the real chip and all your remote controls."
"Not a chance." Xu Wenji flatly refused.
Shen Jianyi took a few steps forward and tried to snatch the remote control. But Xu Wenji had grown up in the research institute just like her. They had both learned martial arts since childhood, and now their abilities were about the same.
Seeing his extremely fast speed, Shen Jianyi struck the back of his neck with her hand. Xu Wenji took two steps back. Before he could react, the woman kicked him. Fortunately, he protected his face with both hands. Otherwise, that kick on his face might have disfigured him.
Shen Jianyi continued to attack. The dagger in her hand left traces in the air. Her speed was so fast that it seemed as if she could cut the wind in half.
Xu Wenji used his dagger to forcibly block her attack. When the two daggers clashed, a clear sound rang out.
"Clang──"
Then, the sounds kept coming. The two fought for more than half an hour. Xu Wenji supported himself on the sofa with one hand and bent over, gasping for breath.
At this time, Shen Jianyi was still relatively calm. She stood up straight and didn't look very tired. "Xu Wenji, after all these years, your skills have declined so much."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jianyi didn't give the man any chance to catch his breath. She kicked him in the abdomen. He took several steps back in a row, and his back hit a square covered with a black cloth.
Xu Wenji slid down along the square and finally sat on the floor. He was so exhausted that he had no strength left in his body. Even if Shen Jianyi wanted to kill him now, it would be more than easy.
The black cloth also fell to the ground as he slid down, revealing the original appearance of the square.
It was a square display screen. There were countless sections on it, and almost each section was a surveillance video of a small area.
At this moment, Shen Jianyi saw clearly that Gun was locked in a strange room. There was nothing in the room, not even a single door. She didn't even know how he had got in.
Shen Jianyi was a bit angry, which was a rare emotional fluctuation for her. "Xu Wenji, hurry up and get him here. Do you really want to die?"
From the very beginning, Shen Jianyi had no intention of doing anything to Xu Wenji. At most, she would take him back to the research institute and let him explain everything to the professor so that the professor would stop trying to ruin her.
But now, her companion was in trouble. No matter what, Shen Jianyi had to find a way to rescue Gun.
Xu Wenji snorted. "What if I don't?"
Even in such a situation, Xu Wenji could still be so stubborn. Shen Jianyi squatted in front of the man, grabbed his collar, and frowned slightly. "Don't try to challenge my bottom - line."
Xu Wenji didn't answer. Instead, he gave a frivolous smile. That look was really annoying.
Perhaps Xu Wenji wanted to anger Shen Jianyi so that she would lose her mind. Then it would be more convenient for him to do many things, and it would be much easier to prove that she had stolen the chip.
But unfortunately, the person standing in front of him was Shen Jianyi. No matter what big things she encountered, she never panicked, and this time was no exception.
Even though her companion's safety was still uncertain, she could calmly threaten him.
Xu Wenji shook off the hand that was grabbing his collar. "Shen Jianyi, I can save him, but I have a condition."
"What condition?"
Xu Wenji said shamelessly, "I want you to admit that you stole the chip and then go back and surrender obediently."
