Chapter 55: Passing by, their glance was as brief as a...

There were messy footsteps and clear voices coming from outside the door.

"Quick! Transport No. 23 immediately!" A voice was whispered in a hurried, panicked tone. "We just got word that the Seventh Bureau has tracked us down, and they've told us to clean up the scene immediately!"

"What? The seventh inning? How could they...?"

"Don't ask any more questions. Execute Plan B immediately. Destroy all data backups and send everyone away!"

Soon, the sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets came from the next room, and it sounded like someone was destroying a body.

Wen Yi suddenly looked up, her heart beating violently.

Is this true? Why is Gu Yifeng here?

Since this place cannot withstand Gu Yifeng's investigation, does she have a chance to escape in the chaos?

Including Cheng Yan, he is still alive.

She suddenly realized something: if she could take Cheng Yan out during the chaos...

Perhaps his father could save him. Moongap Mountain, there lay her last hope.

Wen Yi staggered to her feet, but she didn't have much time left.

She quickly glanced around and found a white lab coat and mask in the locker in the corner.

She neatly tied her hair into a ponytail, changed into a white shirt, put on gloves, and adjusted the position of the mask in front of the mirror to cover the lower half of her face.

She took a deep breath and made herself look like a nurse at work.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Several staff members who had just spoken rushed in. When they saw her, they immediately stopped and frowned. "Who are you?"

"New here." Wen Yi used all her acting skills, trying to keep her tone steady, even with a hint of impatience, "It's too late, let's go!"

She pointed at Cheng Yan standing beside her and lowered her voice, "If we don't send him away, Director Gu from the Seventh Bureau will find out."

The men looked at each other doubtfully.

The people from the Seventh Bureau were expected to arrive at any moment, and the laboratory was in chaos. Everyone was just trying to get out as quickly as possible, and no one cared about a temporary caregiver.

"Go!" One of them shouted in a low voice, pushing the bed out.

Wen Yi followed closely behind, her fingers trembling slightly, but her face remained calm.

The corridor was dimly lit and the group walked hurriedly.

She glimpsed an office with its door open, a mess inside: debris piled high next to the shredder, and smashed hard drives scattered on the floor. Even if Gu Yifeng came, he probably wouldn't be able to find any evidence.

Wen Yi gritted her teeth and thought, forget it, the most important thing now is Cheng Yan.

They walked through the long corridor, exited through the emergency exit, and came to the dark parking lot.

A small truck was parked not far away, its outline blurred.

There was a man standing next to the car.

The man was facing them, his hands in his pockets, as if he was waiting for them.

Wen Yi tried to see his face clearly, but the light was too poor and she could only make out his outline - the man was tall and straight, with a strong physique.

The staff pushed Cheng Yan into the carriage and said simply, "I'll leave it to you this time as well."

The man nodded slightly, his voice low and clear: "Don't worry."

Wen Yi was shocked.

This sound...

If she hadn't been wearing a mask, she would have barely been able to conceal her shock.

Wen Yi's heart beat faster involuntarily and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

The staff member was about to turn around and leave.

Wen Yi stepped forward at this time: "I received a notice from my superiors that I must escort him the whole way." She said to the man who was about to close the car door, her tone calm, without any dodging.

The man raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at her with an examining gaze, and said indifferently: "I don't need anyone else to interfere."

Wen Yi's heart tightened, but she quickly steadied her breath. Just as she was about to explain, she was interrupted by another staff member: "Who informed you? When did this happen?"

He glanced at Cheng Yan lying on the cart, "Hasn't No. 23 been unconscious? Why does he need to be cared for?"

Wen Yi said with certainty, "He's only in a deep coma, not completely unconscious. He might still randomly trigger his 'time-space disruption' ability while unconscious. I saw a fluctuation just now, and luckily I stopped him in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

She spoke with such confidence and seriousness that no one refuted her for a moment.

Another staff member frowned at her and said, "...He still has the ability to release? Is that true?"

"It's true." Wen Yi nodded, "And he's extremely unstable. You probably don't want... anything to happen to him on the road, right?"

The man was silent for a few seconds and did not respond, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Just as everyone was hesitant, there was a noise coming from the main entrance of the building in the distance.

"Not good!" The staff member who was in charge of the transfer suddenly changed his expression. "It must be the people from the Seventh Bureau!"

"They'll be sealing the back door next!" another man whispered nervously, "We have to leave quickly, otherwise it will be hard to explain if we're discovered!"

Wen Yi knew that her chance had come!

Without waiting for their response, she stepped into the van and slammed the door shut.

"Let's go!" she shouted in the carriage.

The man looked at her silently, without saying anything or objecting.

He then turned around, walked into the driver's seat, and started the engine.

The truck body shook and quickly left the parking lot.

Wen Yi leaned in the corner of the carriage and breathed a sigh of relief.

Great! She made it onto the bus!

The truck drove onto the main road, and the rapidly passing street lights fell on her face, flickering.

Wen Yi looked out the window, her frantic heartbeat still not calming down.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but their car actually drove past the road in front of the main entrance of the laboratory!

Out of the corner of her eye she suddenly caught sight of a row of Investigation Bureau cars parked in front of the building, all of them black SUVs.

Red and blue police lights flashed, and a figure as tall as a pine tree suddenly appeared in her sight.

He was in plain clothes, holding a walkie-talkie and deploying the operation with his back to her.

Although they were far apart, she recognized him at a glance.

It’s Gu Yifeng.

She instinctively moved closer to the car window almost the moment she saw him.

And he seemed to have noticed something, and at the same time he raised his head and suddenly turned around.

The two people's eyes passed through the glass and met in the night at that moment.

The truck suddenly accelerated, and the figure outside the window disappeared into the distance.

That glance was so brief that it seemed like an illusion.

Wen Yi looked away, her lips curled up slightly. It turned out that fate had already arranged for them to meet several times. Even if they missed each other repeatedly at countless points in time, they were destined to meet again.

Wen Yi turned and looked at the man in the driver's seat.

The street light shone into the car through the window, and the man's profile was clearly visible in the rearview mirror.

She remembered him.

The one who only clears the endgame.

He had appeared many times in the fragments of her memories.

Wen Yi still doesn't know his name, but she already knows his ending.

The truck was driving on the highway, and there was silence inside.

In the back of the car, Cheng Yan was still unconscious. Wen Yi sat in the corner, appearing calm but actually nervous.

She could feel the man's gaze on her - through the rearview mirror, those dark eyes were studying her face.

"Are you the new nurse?" the man suddenly spoke, his voice low and steady, but with a strong sense of oppression.

"Yes." Wen Yi nodded calmly.

"How much do you know about number 23?"

"He has the ability of 'time-space disruption', but it is currently in a deeply suppressed state."

The answer is fluent and logically consistent.

"You just said in the parking lot that you saw him release his supernatural powers. What happened?"

Wen Yi answered fluently. She was used to talking nonsense in a serious manner.

The other party was silent for a few seconds, as if agreeing with her statement.

Just when she thought she had passed the test, the man asked again:

"Which district and department are you from?"

Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat.

How to edit this?

Just a moment of hesitation, a chill ran up her spine, and she knew she was exposed.

That person is a professional agent, good at interrogation and detecting lies.

He must be doubting her.

Just when Wen Yi was panicking, the next second——

"Bang!!!"

The truck shook violently!

Accompanied by a loud crash and the crisp sound of shattering glass, Wen Yi was thrown against the wall of the car.

I don't know where my forehead hit, and a sharp pain came over me.

Car accident?

The world was quiet for a few seconds.

While she was dazed, she heard the man opening the door.

In this brief moment of confusion, the rear door was pushed open silently.

A figure flashed in.

Wen Yi forced herself to open her eyes and saw the other person's face in the dim light——

He was wearing a hat and a mask, but Wen Yi still recognized him.

It turned out to be Guo Qingyu!

She could hardly believe her eyes.

In an instant, a memory was awakened in his mind. On the night when he went to Qingluan Mountain, Guo Qingyu once said that he hijacked a car in Yunchuan City to rescue an experimental subject.

Experimental subject No. 23...it turns out that the corpse with a high fever in the nursery was Cheng Yan.

Wen Yi's heart suddenly tightened.

Guo Qingyu spotted her in the dim light and said in surprise, "Damn! What's going on..."

She managed to stand up: "...Take him away!"

Guo Qingyu was slightly startled, staring at her for a few seconds, as if suddenly realizing: "You are..."

"I'm not!" Wen Yi interrupted him in panic, enduring the severe pain and saying hoarsely, "Stop talking nonsense... Go!"

Guo Qingyu looked up and looked ahead, then quickly helped Cheng Yan up and carried him on his shoulders.

The next second, he jumped out of the car with his men in a clean and neat movement.

Wen Yi leaned in the corner and breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she could completely relax, she heard a clear sound of a gun being loaded.

She looked up suddenly and looked outside.

As soon as Guo Qingyu landed on the ground, he stopped and took a step back.

Outside the car, the man was holding a gun and pointing it at Guo Qingyu!

Wen Yi's pupils suddenly shrank and her breathing stagnated.

No...something went wrong!

Shouldn’t Guo Qingyu take Cheng Yan away?

Could it be that her appearance affected this timeline?

"You are?" His voice was emotionless.

Guo Qingyu supported Cheng Yan and had no way to retreat, so he could only remain silent.

"Since you don't tell me, I'm sorry." The man's fingertips were slightly bent, and he was about to pull the trigger.

"No--!" Wen Yi almost screamed.
