"Don't talk to me, I have nothing to say to you."

"Is this a refusal to communicate?"

Chu Xingyue straightened up, her eyes turning cold, devoid of any warmth.

"Okay, I hope you stick to your own beliefs."

After finishing her sentence, Chu Xingyue left immediately.

Turning to the two men guarding the door, he instructed them:

"Go on, you don't need to keep an eye on things anymore."

Jiang Yu and Wei Haiyang exchanged a glance.

The two didn't speak, but followed Chu Xingyue.

Before leaving, Chu Xingyue turned around and glanced at the man inside.

"Let's go, pass the word down, everyone stay on high alert tonight."

"Yes," does this mean something's going on?

The two quickly walked past Chu Xingyue.

In the laboratory

Zhu Bo was taking notes when his heart rate started to change on the monitor, a change that he, who was already paying close attention, quickly noticed.

"Is she about to wake up?"

The man on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat dazed, unable to discern his surroundings for a moment.

Zhu Bo took out a flashlight from his shirt pocket, held it up to the man's eyes, and saw his eyeballs move with the light.

"How many is this?" Zhu Bo turned off the flashlight and put it in his pocket, then held up one finger and waved it in front of the man's eyes, followed by two.

When Zhu Bo made the two movements, the man parted the corners of his lips:

"1," Zhu Bo's eyes, now adjusted to the bright light, began to answer, following his finger.

“2”

What's the date today?

January 7th.

Three days off from the correct date, Zhu Bo made notes while talking to the teacher next to him.

"It seems there's a chance they've forgotten what happened these past few days."

"Yes, that's not impossible."

Then Zhu Bo asked a few more trivial questions, which the man answered with some difficulty, but he was clearly back to normal now.

"You should get some rest." After telling the man, Zhu Bo went with the other teachers to talk to the others. This was their first patient to undergo surgery, and all postoperative reactions and recovery status needed to be reported to others.

When Chu Xingyue arrived, she saw everyone discussing in hushed tones.

"Teacher Chu, you're here."

One of them noticed Chu Xingyue and quickly greeted her.

"Hmm, what are they all talking about?"

"The first man to undergo surgery has woken up."

"Oh?" Chu Xingyue feigned surprise.

"Teacher Chu, you woke up before you came. I expected you to wake up in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to wake up in the morning."

Zhu Bo was a little excited; he had woken up way too early.

"The patients in single rooms number 1 and 4 will not have their surgeries performed yet; we will prepare for the surgeries this afternoon."

"Zhu Bo, move your bed to the next room. All the patients who have finished their surgeries should rest together in one place."

"Yes, Teacher Chu."

Someone had surgery this afternoon; I don't know who performed it.

Who else could do this surgery besides Chu Xingyue?

Someone with such abilities could have internal energy like Chu Xingyue, or at least barely the same. Could they possibly use that internal energy in surgery?

So Zhu Bo's idea was completely unfounded.

The entire afternoon was spent on surgery. With the experience from the first surgery, the subsequent surgeries were a bit too perfunctory for Chu Xingyue. Chu Xingyue looked at the various sizes of the bodies placed in containers, wondering if the other side had noticed after so long since the two bodies were opened.

They were all grouped into a large room next door to follow up on the patients after their surgeries.

It was already dark outside, and the door to the next room was closed, completely sealed.

It was quiet outside, except for the sound of wheels hitting the ground in the corridor outside the laboratory. The sound wasn't loud, but you could still hear it if you listened carefully.

The overall feeling is somewhat oppressive; a timid person would definitely associate such a scene with some unpleasant scenarios.

"Bring it in."

The cart came in, but didn't stay long before going out again.

On either side of the hospital bed lay two people, one under deep anesthesia and the other with a furrowed brow, clearly uneasy.

Chu Xingyue untied all the specially made ropes binding the two of them. The man, who had been frowning, seemed to feel that the things binding him were gone, and his brows gradually relaxed.

Chu Xingyue looked down at the sterile scalpel in her hand. If someone else, separated by a bulletproof glass, saw the upturned corner of her lips, they would definitely be startled. That smile was terrifying.

You can't see into the lab from the other side; you only see a large pane of glass. But you can't see inside at all. On the contrary, you can see everything inside the lab from the other side.

Chu Xingyue slowly and methodically performed her actions. As her body on the two beds leaning against each other trembled, Chu Xingyue began to assume the role of a doctor.

One was frowning, about to wake up, while the other seemed to be waking up but just couldn't quite manage it. The hands at either side of the body began to move slightly unconsciously.

Chu Xingyue looked at the screens corresponding to the changes in the minds of the two people. One was particularly active, while the other had begun to move slowly, but the movement was not significant. Chu Xingyue checked the time on the monitor and realized that the two had started to move at the same time, which roughly confirmed Chu Xingyue's guess. She then turned to look at the other individually placed containers in the incubator.

It seems that it really is a Gu worm, as they all started acting around the same time, which further confirms Chu Xingyue's guess.

Chu Xingyue, who was focused on observing the Gu worms, seemed oblivious to the commotion.

In the adjacent ward, people were shouting one after another, and some even had their hands bleeding from the banging. But how could a specially prepared temporary ward be so easily knocked open?

Chu Xingyue had already changed the instructions and set the timer when the group went in, ensuring that they would not be able to break into the door during this time period.

The man cautiously approached Chu Xingyue, and the other figure on the bed slowly sat up. It was like adding insult to injury. Zhu Bo was lying dejectedly on the floor next door, completely exhausted. He shouldn't have come to the quarantine with her; if he had, Teacher Chu wouldn't have been in such danger.

Zhu Bo's child is filled with endless self-blame.

Chu Xingyue, who was still watching the little insect, felt the light above her head gradually being blocked. She immediately turned around and saw the scene in front of her. Her eyes were filled with tears of horror, and her beautiful face was full of disbelief.

A cruel smile appeared on the man's face.

"Weren't you so arrogant back then? Why aren't you arrogant now? Huh, you still want me to explain? Do you dare listen to my explanation now? You little brat, why do you have to act like a big shot?"

After the man finished speaking, he spat to the side.

Chu Xingyue noticed another one out of the corner of her eye, and after slowly walking to the man's side with a blank look in her eyes, she did nothing.

"He's a doctor, and not very old. Let's take him back and train him properly."

The man's muttered words reached Chu Xingyue's ears.

"Hey, you can get out of here, right?"

Chu Xingyue nodded fearfully.

"Get me out of here, let's go." Chu Xingyue was pushed and carefully walked to the door.

The irises matched, the door opened, and the man was no longer afraid. He had a hostage in his hands, a helper behind him, and his own strength was not weak either, so what was there to be afraid of?

And so it wasn't until the man was speeding down the highway that he whistled at Chu Xingyue.

"Awesome! I never thought I'd have the chance to drive a military vehicle in my lifetime. Hey, it's all thanks to you, girl."

The car sped ahead, and the glass door next to the laboratory opened with a "click".

The people inside scrambled and crawled out.

By the time they rushed outside, Chu Xingyue was nowhere to be seen; only a car was parked outside.

"Director Qin, we're leaving this to you to take charge. We need to leave for now. Our boss instructed that no one is allowed to touch anything inside the incubator. We'll discuss everything when she returns."

"Is Teacher Chu alright?"

"Has Director Qin forgotten who our boss is?"

Zhou Yu looked at Director Qin with a proud expression.

"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, I've completely forgotten Teacher Chu's other identity."

"Wishing you all a triumphant return."

Zhou Yu smiled, opened the car door, and sped away.

"Dean Qin, what did that soldier mean just now? What is Teacher Chu's other identity?"

One of them asked curiously.

"Heh, you guys don't know?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Hey, Lao Qin, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me already."

Some people in the crowd couldn't wait any longer.

"I can't say. Didn't you hear that young man call Teacher Chu 'boss' just now?" Director Qin smiled, as if to say, "You want me to tell you? I won't. You can guess."

There are many intelligent people in the crowd, such as Zhu Bo.

Zhu Bo could hardly believe his guess, and then turned to look at the people lying in the ward behind him.

No wonder Teacher Chu didn't show the slightest bit of fear from beginning to end; it turns out, she really wasn't afraid at all.

Zhu Bo felt dejected. He realized that he and she were really not on the same path; the gap between them was too great.

Some people are very good at regulating their emotions. Zhu Bo, who was just feeling down, was back to being the renowned genius doctor Hua Tuo when he looked up again.

The man driving on the highway suddenly tensed up, while another man beside him, who had been watching Chu Xingyue, was trembling slightly, as if he had seen something that frightened him.

The car gradually turned off the main road and onto a side road.

This man has never been to Kyoto before, yet he knows the streets of Kyoto so well?

Chu Xingyue remained silent, continuing to play the role of a doctor who had been taken hostage.

The car gradually slowed down, its headlights shining in the distance, and Chu Xingyue squinted.

The car door was opened, and the man who got out of the car breathed on the door and opened the back door.

"come out."

Chu Xingyue staggered out of the car and immediately started chopping chili peppers. The winters in the north can freeze people to death, especially in such a desolate place. Although Chu Xingyue didn't feel the cold at all, she was now an ordinary female doctor.

"Second Master!"

"I'm sorry, Second Master, I was arrested before I even started my operation."

Upon seeing the Second Master, the man quickly apologized, lest he not even know how he died.

Although this was not something he could understand, it was also his fault for being careless. Even so, the man was still very scared.

The man called Second Master was completely hidden in the darkness. If Chu Xingyue had been at the airport, she would have definitely noticed him. He was wearing a black coat and a black baseball cap, and his face was completely covered by a scarf around his neck. Even Chu Xingyue couldn't see the man's face clearly at that moment.

"Why did you bring someone else along?"

"Second Master, it's really not my choice. I simply can't leave without this woman."

The man's gaze fell on Chu Xingyue, who was not far away, without warning. Chu Xingyue's calm eyes met the man's gaze in the darkness.

When the man saw Chu Xingyue's eyes, his heart skipped a beat for no reason. He frowned; he was certain he had never seen this woman before, or rather, she was a girl.

"Second Master, should we bring this woman with us?"

The Second Master's moment of stunned silence was very short; by the time the man asked the question, the Second Master's gaze was no longer on Chu Xingyue.

"Are you afraid our movements aren't noticeable enough?"

"No, no, no, I absolutely did not mean that."

"Let her go. We shouldn't complicate things now."

Chu Xingyue remained motionless throughout, simply watching the two exchange until their figures disappeared into the darkness.

"Boss."

"sister"

"Okay, let's rest for ten minutes and then we'll get ready to go."

Chu Xingyue got into the car that Chu Jiaojiao and the others had come from behind, changed her clothes, put on her communicator, and took the computer that Leng Shuang had prepared in the front passenger seat.

The finger begins to press the Enter key.

A red dot immediately popped up on the computer screen, and it was moving rapidly.

"Sis, is it okay if we don't chase after them?"

"It's alright. They won't dare leave through the airport; they'll definitely find another way. What we need to do now is follow them at a leisurely pace."

When the time came, the car gradually drove onto the highway and disappeared into the darkness.

The man drove quickly, his heart filled with joy, finally able to embark on his journey to wealth and glory.

The passenger in the front seat had a blank stare, devoid of any emotion in his eyes.

The second master in the back seat had his hands folded over his stomach, thinking about the female doctor he had just seen. In his eyes, she was still a child, but this was the first time he had felt pity for her. The child was really good-looking.

He had seen many beautiful women of all kinds, but none of them had given him that inexplicable feeling. However, he knew it wasn't romantic love; it was simply admiring a girl's beauty.

The car bypassed the highway and gradually drove towards the place Chu Xingyue had predicted.

Border area.

The border guard on duty that day received a message early in the morning that around noon, three people would be crossing the border from his side. He was asked to let the three people cross the border, but there were only photos of two of them, and no photo of the third person.

The explanation given to him was that these three people were bait to lure out the bigger fish later, so that he would obey his orders.

He and his comrades had to strictly inspect every vehicle that came and went to ensure that no fugitives escaped from their hands and that no contraband was allowed to enter their country.

Chu Xingyue had already infiltrated the highway system, and the three people in the car could not escape Chu Xingyue's eyes whenever they passed through a place with cameras.

Therefore, Chu Xingyue had already seen through the true nature of that second master.
