"Xia Liang, you take the serum and the chip and go quickly. I'm a man after all. I should protect you!"
She didn't have so much time to argue with him about who should protect whom. It was the first time Xia Liang had faced so many people.
"Go quickly! Don't just stand there like a fool!"
As Xia Liang was speaking, a bodyguard from the opposite side threw a punch at her. Her goggles were immediately knocked to the ground, and she staggered backward.
"Go! If you don't protect the chip well, we won't let you off."
After saying this, Xia Liang stabbed at the man with the knife in her hand. Fa Cai really had no other choice.
He felt heart - broken for Xia Liang at the moment, but he couldn't let the chip fall into other people's hands.
"Go!"
Xia Liang was directly thrown to the ground by the opponent. The knife dropped, but she still managed to stand up, aiming to protect the items and evacuate safely.
Fa Cai gritted his teeth and directly activated the flying device and flew away.
Xia Liang, all by herself, managed to hold off more than a dozen strong men.
She was knocked to the ground. Xia Liang tried to reach for the weapon over there, but one of the men stepped on her palm with his foot. She grimaced in pain.
Originally, Xia Liang had already given up hope of surviving. Things had come to this point. How could she still live?
She took a deep breath and just wanted to buy more time for Fa Cai to escape.
Just when she felt her palm was about to be crushed, a smoke bomb was thrown from somewhere. At that moment, several people couldn't see anything.
This time, Xia Liang wasn't wearing goggles, so she was also one of the injured.
She completely lost her sense of direction. She felt insecure, always afraid of bumping into someone as she stumbled around.
Just then, a big hand covered her eyes, and a man's voice echoed in her ear: "I'm late. I'll take you away now!"
Lu Weiran's main task was to protect these two people and help them evacuate. Fa Cai had already flown away. This was when the advantage of the flying device showed.
Xia Liang also had one, but she didn't know how to operate it at all. The girl in his arms was even a bit delirious.
Helpless, Lu Weiran could only take her to a corner and hide. As for whether they would be discovered, he really didn't know.
...
On the other side.
Shen Jianyi and Lu Jinsheng were looking for Xu Wenji according to the location pre - located by Xia Liang.
At the end of the corridor, she saw the person who had stolen the chip and framed her.
"Xu Wenji!" Shen Jianyi gritted her teeth.
The anger in her flared up and rushed to her forehead. Shen Jianyi ran forward at an extremely fast speed.
Lu Jinsheng sensed something was wrong.
At the critical moment, the woman's arm was firmly grabbed, and she stopped in her tracks. She turned around in confusion, looking at the man.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Jinsheng held the woman back. He stepped forward and knocked on the thing in front of him. It was a piece of glass.
"Glass..."
Shen Jianyi immediately calmed down. She turned around suddenly, but there was no sign of Xu Wenji behind.
He seemed so close just now, but now he was so far away.
Shen Jianyi's mentality was on the verge of collapse. She clenched her fist, wanting to smash the mirror with one punch, but was pulled back to reality by the man's voice.
"Yiyi, calm down. Don't be impulsive!"
Lu Jinsheng put his hands on the woman's shoulders and shook her slightly. This little action directly woke the woman up.
Only then did she realize how stupid she had been just now. Fortunately, Lu Jinsheng was there to assist her.
The calm Shen Jianyi was extremely smart. She could sense that the Xu Wenji in front of her was just a phantom.
With Xu Wenji's ability to be mysterious, it wasn't difficult for him to create such a situation.
Shen Jianyi reached out and touched the mirror in front of her. It was a one - way mirror. People inside could see what she was doing.
"The only way is here." Shen Jianyi continued to touch it with her hand. She found the weakest part and then struck it hard with the handle of her knife.
The mirror immediately cracked. The next second, the whole mirror shattered into pieces. Similarly, the phantom of Xu Wenji disappeared without a trace.
"Sure enough, Xu Wenji still likes to act so mysteriously—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Jianyi felt some powder falling on her head. She frowned tightly. Her mind started to become unclear, and her brain was in a complete mess.
Her vision in front of her began to blur and even turned very dark.
...
When Shen Jianyi could see the things in front of her clearly again, she looked around and found that she was all alone.
"Where... is this?" Shen Jianyi stood outside a villa, looking at this familiar yet strange place.
It was as if Shen Jianyi had lost all feeling in her legs. She wanted to move forward but couldn't at all.
The next second, the door of the villa was opened, and the man who walked out shocked her.
"It's you!!" Shen Jianyi gritted her teeth. She would never forget this man in her life—her biological father.
But Shen Jianyi found that the other person couldn't hear what she was saying at all. She seemed to be from a different dimension, as if separated by a dimensional wall.
"Dad!"
A very cute little girl ran out of the villa. Her chubby little face was like a glutinous rice ball.
And this little girl was her in her childhood. Since her mother had passed away early, she had surprisingly learned to walk and talk at the age of two.
The little girl directly threw herself into the man's arms and said in a childish voice: "Dad, where are you going?"
The man reached out and stroked her fluffy head: "Dad is going to pick up your new mom. Yiyi, be a good girl and take good care of Tingting at home."
"Okay!"
Shen Jianyi clenched her fist and watched this scene. This man had deceived her when she was young and innocent.
Then, the scene changed.
The so - called "new mom" appeared at home. At that time, Wei Ting was still in swaddling clothes.
Shen Jianyi stood on a small stool and reached out to rub Wei Ting's forehead. There was a red mole on her forehead, a birthmark she was born with.
It was based on this that she recognized the little girl on the far side of Pei Xiuyuan's photo as her younger sister.
Just thinking about this, Shen Jianyi's heart ached as if it had been hammered hard by a thousand - jin hammer several times.
...
"Shen Guohai, aren't I, you, and Zhizhi a family?"
These words were spoken by the step - mother.
Shen Guohai looked at his biological daughter in the distance and frowned tightly: "But they..."
"I can barely raise Wei Ting as my own daughter because she's young, but Jianyi is too smart. She already has her own independent consciousness now. She won't accept me!"
The woman kept making a scene: "The way she looks at me is just like the ghosts who come to claim lives. I'm living in such an environment every day. I'm almost suffocated!"
Shen Guohai comforted the woman and gave a cold look, showing no sign of affection: "Then send her to the orphanage."
