Mike, radiating murderous intent, swore and cursed as he walked down the corridor.

Gu Guanhai, bored in his room, was pulling out hangnails from his nails: "???"

Upon hearing the sound, he rushed to the door and grabbed Austin, who was following behind Mike.

"What happened?"

He watched Mike's retreating figure and asked, "Why is Mike so angry? Who is he going to kill?"

Austin: ...

Seeing that Gu Guanhai had been doing nothing but eating and sleeping at the base these past few days, my wariness of him had decreased a lot.

"well!"

He sighed and said, "Something happened outside. The people behind Qin Yuzhu threatened us with the files to release her, but we didn't agree. Now the backup files are scattered all over the world, so..."

In the end, Austin shook his head wearily.

Gu Guanhai exclaimed upon hearing this: "!!!"

He was immediately taken aback.

So, he didn't mishear?

Mike really is going to kill Qin Yuzhu!

Upon realizing this, Gu Guanhai's body trembled.

Austin was so overwhelmed with problems that he didn't notice Gu Guanhai's unusual behavior and turned to leave!

Gu Guanhai: "!!!"

He stared in the direction the two had left, lost in thought for a long time.

If he remembered correctly, Qin Yuzhu was being held in an interrogation room at the end of the corridor, and their floor...

It's located on the third basement level!

This is where the original files were stored!

Now that the files have been stolen, the entire third basement level is empty, so Mike, who took over the base theft case, set up his office and interrogation location here.

Although this place is located underground, however...

Gu Guanhai didn't know if this place could withstand being struck by lightning!

Thinking of this, Gu Guanhai didn't dare to delay. He made up an excuse and led the guards who were monitoring him toward the elevator.

The elevator entrance on the third basement level is next to the stairwell.

If something really happens, he can escape immediately!

The guard following behind Gu Guanhai: "???"

She looked at him with a puzzled expression.

To be honest, Gu Guanhai has been very cooperative these past few days while he was kept at the base. Usually, apart from eating, drinking, sleeping and going to the toilet, he would at most wander around in the corridor. This is the first time he has wandered all the way to the elevator like today.

Guard: Is this person trying to run away?

But he's been left here for several days before he even thought about running away. Isn't that a bit too late?

As the guard was pondering this, Gu Guanhai's voice suddenly drifted over.

"This staircase should lead to the base's main hall, right?"

Gu Guanhai peered up the winding staircase and said quietly, "Once we're out of the base's main hall, we should be safe, right?"

The guard exclaimed, "??!"

She looked at him with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Is this someone planning an escape route?

Damn it, you're planning your escape route, are you sure you want to consult with me, the person in charge of monitoring you?

The guard remained silent, not answering Gu Guanhai's question.

Gu Guanhai: ...

She wasn't surprised that he didn't answer; she simply patted his shoulder.

This person is actually quite nice.

At least during the few days he stayed here, he could satisfy whatever meal he ordered.

They even got him a meal of dumplings.

Even a single meal is a great debt of gratitude; he ordered many meals for people!

Gu Guanhai leaned against the stairwell, secretly thinking to himself.

Wait a minute.

If Mike makes a move later and it really attracts lightning again, he'll remember to grab this guard when he runs away.

Gu Guanhai was thinking when suddenly...

From the interrogation room at the far end of the corridor came a hysterical voice.

"You don't know? Even now you dare to say you don't know?"

"They went to any lengths to rescue you, even threatening me! Now, it's all over! All over!"

"Our research archives, our most advanced science and technology, have been scattered everywhere. Are you going to stubbornly deny knowing this?"

"..."

A roar followed by a piercing scream.

The next second.

"Bang!"

Gu Guanhai heard a gunshot.

at the same time.
