Ling He swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded vigorously. "I'm sure. She's been receiving treatment in the hospital for the past six months. I'm her attending physician. Her health was much worse six months ago. If she hadn't met me, she might be dead by now."

Ling He spoke earnestly. He was very unhappy that Wang Jinyu had questioned the information he had investigated. He might not be able to guarantee the accuracy of information about others, but he was certain that Wen Lu was right.

For the past six months, Wen Lu has been living under his watchful eye.

However, on the other hand, he felt that Wen Lu was a bit heartless. It had only been half a month since they last met, but she acted as if they were strangers. The revolutionary friendship they had built together had vanished just like that.

Wang Jinyu looked at the documents in his hand and said nothing more. It wasn't that he didn't believe what Ling He said, but rather that he believed what he saw.

The Wen Lu he saw was not the same person as the Wen Lu in the records. If Wen Lu was really like the one in the records, then he would be a dead man now.

At this time, Wen Lu was unaware that his identity had been questioned. He had already assembled the computer in his bedroom, and it looked rather ugly.

But only she knew that this computer was a hundred times better than any other computer on the market, and all the programs on it were installed by her own hands. Once she had installed the complete system, she would be able to contact those people.

"Qi Nian, you still haven't been able to contact the boss? Are you sure the boss was really in that explosion?"

A strikingly beautiful woman walked into the office. Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at the dejected man sitting in front of the computer. Her hands were clenched into fists at her sides as she tried to control her emotions.

She couldn't believe the news she received; how could her boss be dead?

Upon receiving the news, she immediately returned to headquarters to verify its authenticity.

"It's confirmed that the boss was in that explosion. His communication equipment, commonly used locator, and chips are still at the scene. I've already sent Qingyue there with men, hoping to get good news..."

Qi Nian rubbed his face vigorously and buried his head in his hands; he couldn't accept the news either.

No one knows how devastated he was when he learned the whole news.

"Do the people at Institute 9 know too? Is there any news from Boss Qiao? If he doesn't contact us, he should contact the people at Institute 9, right?"

Gu Yao looked at Qi Nian excitedly; she couldn't believe that Mei Ying was dead.

The Phantom said she was a menace, that she could live for a thousand years, so how could she possibly die while carrying out a mission?

Along the way, she thought a lot. She felt that Phantom couldn't possibly be dead. She had all the skills she needed to escape from that explosion!

“Gu Yao, calm down. I’m just like you; I don’t want to accept the news that something happened to her either.”

"But the chip inside her doesn't lie, and if the boss were still alive, she would definitely contact us immediately. Also, the boss wouldn't contact Institute 9 directly. Don't forget, she went on this mission for someone else!"

When Qi Nian received the news that Mei Ying was in trouble, his first thought was that there was a traitor in Institute 9, otherwise Mei Ying's whereabouts would not have been exposed. So he immediately cut off resource sharing with Institute 9.

"You mean, it was Boss Qiao who betrayed Boss?" Gu Yao looked at Qi Nian in disbelief.

Gu Yao has completely lost her mind because of the news of Mei Ying's accident. Now all she wants is to find the person who harmed Mei Ying and tear that person to pieces.

"Gu Yao, calm down! I'm not saying that the person who harmed the boss is Boss Qiao. This matter still needs to be investigated. Now that Phantom is in trouble, there are many things that need your help to resolve. Please get your brain back, okay?"

Qi Nian grabbed Gu Yao's shoulders, hoping she could be more rational. He was just as anxious, but he couldn't let himself break down.

"How can I stay calm? She crawled out of piles of corpses with us, why... why did she abandon me!"

Gu Yao finally couldn't hold back any longer. She tightly gripped Qi Nian's clothes, trying to keep her sobs as quiet as possible.

Qi Nian gently patted Gu Yao's shoulder, hoping that Gu Yao could be strong. They were all saddened by what happened to Mei Ying, but they could not fall down now. They had to protect the Shadow Alliance that Mei Ying had worked so hard to build.

Wen Lu had just woken up when there was a knock on the door. She got out of bed, walked to the door in a daze, and opened it to see Xiao Ran standing outside. Her temple throbbed involuntarily.

She has been home for a week now, and Su Yu has been behaving herself these past few days, not causing her any more trouble. She has almost forgotten about Su Yu and Xiao Ran's existence.

Xiao Ran looked at Wen Lu, who was wearing a set of soft and cute bunny pajamas. She seemed even more well-behaved, and her sleepy appearance made her even more adorable. His gaze towards her unconsciously softened.

"When I came over, Aunt Chu wasn't home. The housekeeper said you were resting upstairs, so I came up directly. I didn't expect to disturb your sleep."

Xiao Ran always spoke with impeccable manners, appearing to be a man of excellent upbringing.

"It's okay, please go sit in the living room for a while. I'll go back to my room to change my clothes and I'll be right back."

Wen Lu didn't have much patience to deal with these people, but when he saw Su Yu return from outside, he felt like teasing her again. When there was nothing to do, he needed to do something interesting to relieve his boredom.

Su Yu had just returned home when she heard the housekeeper say that Xiao Ran had arrived, so she couldn't wait to run upstairs.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she went upstairs, she saw Xiao Ran looking at Wen Lu with affectionate eyes. Her happy mood vanished instantly, replaced by jealousy and resentment.

Hearing the sound coming from the stairs, Xiao Ran turned around and saw Su Yu standing at the top of the stairs with a hurt expression. He frowned slightly.

Wen Lu, who had already changed her clothes, stood by the door, observing the interaction between the two people through the small gap she had deliberately left.

Seeing Su Yu's aggrieved look, Xiao Ran walked to Su Yu's side, took Su Yu's hand, and quickly slipped into Su Yu's room.

He also felt sorry for Su Yu, but his engagement with Wen Lu was arranged by his grandfather, and he had no way to break it.

"Brother Xiao Ran, you just got back from the competition and came to find Wen Lu. Is Wen Lu the only person on your mind?"

Upon entering the room, Su Yu feigned a coquettish reproach and shook off Xiao Ran's hand. She looked at Xiao Ran with a sorrowful expression, tears welling up in her eyes, making her appear quite pitiful.
