"Wouldn't that be even more carefree than ordinary people?"
Hongxiu leaned back on the chair in a lazy posture. She turned her head to look out of the window and yawned. "If I hadn't become a bounty hunter, my family might have been gone by now."
Hearing these words, Shen Jianyi could guess that there must be a story behind them, but at the moment, she wasn't interested.
However, in Shen Jianyi's view, if Hongxiu hadn't been a bounty hunter or had that identity in the research institute, would she be living an ordinary life like everyone else?
Thinking of this, Shen Jianyi actually felt a bit expectant. But then she thought again, without these experiences, how could she be with Lu Jinsheng?
Her mind was in a complete mess at the moment. She was even a bit unclear about what her first thing to do would be after landing in South China Sea.
"Master, who is Lu Yuan?"
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi finally came back to her senses. The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly confused by this question. "The daughter of the Lu family."
"Is that all?"
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush." Shen Jianyi didn't like to guess, and she was too lazy to do so.
Xia Liang coughed awkwardly. "Not to mention that the professor wants to capture her. The crucial thing is that Sam almost got destroyed while trying to capture her."
Perhaps this statement really surprised her. At this moment, there was a slight emotional fluctuation in Shen Jianyi's eyebrows. She found this quite astonishing.
The robot Sam developed by Zhou Sang was no ordinary being. It couldn't be taken down by someone with just mediocre skills.
"Now the professor still hasn't given up on capturing her, and Sam has been repaired." Xia Liang sighed. "These two robots are really unbelievable. After suffering such serious injuries, they can return to normal within a few hours. The crucial thing is that they have the ability to teleport."
Shen Jianyi: "..."
As expected of the creations of Zhou Sang. There were really all sorts of tricks, but what was the use? Robots would always be just robots.
The two of them had been chatting about the robots all this time. Hongxiu beside them couldn't hold it in anymore. She had a question that had been bothering her for a long time.
"Wait, I've noticed something!" She suddenly raised her arm.
Hongxiu's action now was just like when students in class had to raise their hands to answer questions during school days.
Shen Jianyi turned her head, while Xia Liang, unable to turn around, could only take a look through the rear - view mirror.
"Isn't there only a few of us in the research institute? Now that Sam and Vivian have become robots, it means that apart from the four of us, the professor doesn't have any other living members in the institute, right?"
Shen Jianyi really hadn't thought about this question before. The fact was right in front of them. Everyone had defected.
Hearing this, Xia Liang suddenly burst into laughter. "You're right. I bet he'll be furious if he finds out about this."
"Exactly! Then why does he suspect that you stole the chip? Does he just make wild guesses without any evidence?"
Shen Jianyi let out a snort. "Maybe."
Hongxiu just couldn't understand. She had become a member of the research laboratory back then simply because of the attractive conditions offered by Zhou Sang.
As long as one joined the research laboratory, not only could they receive a high salary, but they could also attend various events and get to know all kinds of people.
But in the end, after she had really joined, she found that things were not as wonderful as she had thought. She had to follow all his instructions.
Who was Hongxiu? How could she be willing to obediently follow others' orders?
While they were chatting, the plane had already flown towards South China Sea. Xia Liang even found a suitable place to land the plane.
Not far from where they landed was the largest auction house in South China Sea. Without even having to guess, they knew that Xu Wenji would definitely hold an auction here.
"Let's go to the hotel first to adjust our state." Shen Jianyi could sense that Xia Liang was extremely exhausted at the moment. "You shouldn't overwork yourself. It'll delay our progress."
Xia Liang nodded. "Okay."
Just as her voice fell, the plane that had been following them also landed successfully. Lu Jinsheng jumped out of it and didn't forget to grab Lu Weiran by the collar.
"Brother, just let me go back. I really don't want to go on such a dangerous mission with you!"
On the way, Lu Weiran had been pleading to return to Shanghai. He had thought that a trip to Panyu would be enough, but who would have thought that he would end up in South China Sea.
Lu Jinsheng didn't even bother to pay attention to him. He just headed straight towards the woman. "Yiyi, the hotel I booked is right next to here. Let's go back first."
"Okay." As she passed by Lu Weiran, a smile curled up on Shen Jianyi's lips. She paused for a moment, reached out her hand to pat the other person on the shoulder, and her tone was filled with a threat. "If you want me to avenge you, then be obedient. Otherwise, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the sharks."
Hearing this, he shivered. What was wrong with this couple?
He still clearly remembered what Lu Jinsheng had said on the plane:
"If you say one more word, I'll throw you out of the plane."
Why were these two even more violent than each other? He really hadn't noticed this before. Fortunately, he had turned back in time. If he had continued to oppose them, those words might really have come true.
He sighed and looked listless.
...
A five - star hotel in South China Sea.
After Shen Jianyi returned to her room, she directly lay down on the bed. She turned her head to look at the sea view outside the floor - to - ceiling window and couldn't help but think of the time in Manduo Sea.
Looking back now, it seemed that she had spent half of her life under others' control, living for others.
Apart from searching for Shen Weiting, all the things she had done were to help Zhou Sang retrieve the lost chip. Unfortunately, her efforts had not been rewarded.
Thinking of this, her ice - cold heart was actually slightly touched.
Shen Jianyi turned her head and saw the man sitting beside her. His strong and warm hand was tightly holding hers, as if he was going to melt the long - sealed frost on her body.
"Jinsheng, after everything is over, let's enjoy our own lives, okay?"
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng lowered his head to look at her. The emotions in the woman's eyes were burning.
He of course agreed without hesitation. "Okay, of course it's okay!"
But when would all this finally end? When could he help Shen Jianyi find her younger sister? And when could he make the so - called Shu Qing recall the past?
Lu Jinsheng leaned over and placed a kiss on the woman's forehead. His voice was hoarse. "Yiyi, I also really want to live such a life, just like an ordinary person."
They were destined not to be ordinary from the moment they were born. Shen Jianyi seemed to have already seen it through.
And now she had more important things to do. She got up and sat on the bed, turned her head to look at the man, and her expression was serious. "Now call Lu Yuan and tell her to be careful."
