Chapter 155, Attack
The explosion was deafening, shaking the entire building. Fortunately, the explosion occurred in an open grassland after work, so no innocent people were harmed.
Protected in Si Xu's arms, Jiang Ran stretched her neck and looked out from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall.
The explosion alarmed the patrolling psychics, and firefighters quickly came to put out the fire.
Shen Yao had already walked out of the laboratory, but was frightened by the explosion and retreated back.
"Oh my god! What's this? A terrorist attack?" The girl slowly retreated to Si Xu's side and asked him, "Seventh Brother, when did the bomb go off there? Did you feel it?"
Si Xu looked at her expressionlessly and replied, "I threw it out."
"So it's you..." Shen Yao casually replied, but froze mid-sentence. "Seventh Brother, who in the base offended you to the point where you'd throw bombs and threaten them like that?"
This guy is so stupid, why did he choose her to be his assistant before? Si Xu was a little doubtful about his previous judgment and remained silent.
Jiang Ran hadn't recovered from the explosion yet, and his mind began to race with the noisy voices outside.
The bombs were delivered along with the gifts. Who was that person's target? Si Xu? But everyone in the base knew what happened to those gifts.
There is no way the gift could be handed over to Si Xu.
If that’s the case, why were explosives mixed in with the gifts?
Song Rong, who had experienced the same space transformation as Jiang Ran, finally broke free from Si Xu's supernatural suppression. The man wiped the cold sweat from his face and quickly figured out what was going on.
He walked quickly to Si Xu, lowered his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Professor Si, should I arrange for someone to investigate now?"
There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the laboratory. We can find out who sent that special gift by simply checking the surveillance cameras.
Si Xu's eyes reflected the light of fire, and deeper inside was a rage even more terrifying than the fire: "Go check."
Fortunately, he got off work on time. If he had come out a few seconds later...
Si Xu silently tightened his arms around Jiang Ran's shoulders. He felt a fire rising in his chest, and the murderous intent that had not appeared in a long time surged into his mind again.
Once he found the person, he would pull out his bones piece by piece and hang them on the city wall to feed the zombies. If he couldn't find the person, he would kill everyone in the base who had a grudge against him...
Being strangled by the man, Jiang Ran put one hand on his chest and gently pushed him: "Si Xu?"
The girl's voice was soft and sounded a little timid.
The restlessness in his chest dissipated a little, Si Xu lowered his eyes to look at her, and slightly relaxed the strength in his hands.
Chen Yao looked at the two people's expressions and felt that her understanding was wrong: "Um...don't tell me this dangerous substance was found in our laboratory."
Song Rong nodded with regret: "That's right! In that pile of things!" After saying that, he pointed to the pile of gifts at the service desk.
After getting the answer, Shen Yao calmed down: "Oh, then how did it get outside? Did you throw it out?"
Rather than viewing this question as a recognition of his abilities, Song Rong felt he was being unintentionally mocked: "You think too highly of me, haha."
Not to mention moving the explosives away, he didn't even notice it.
Deputy Captain Song felt ashamed of his dereliction of duty.
Chen Yao looked at Si Xu, expressing her doubts with her eyes.
Si Xu glanced back at her, indifferent: "I got it out."
Without waiting for her to ask again, he added: "The transfer was done by using space overlap." Otherwise, the entire laboratory and his little girl would have been blown to pieces.
I still feel a little angry when I think about it.
There is nothing wrong with Chen Yao.
After holding it in for a long time, the girl only uttered: "Pervert."
Isn't it just perverted? He can make full use of the space-related abilities that have no combat effectiveness in other people's hands.
The fire outside gradually dimmed, and the crowd of onlookers was separated by the cordon set up by the special power team, and no one dared to step forward.
Gu Yunqing was wandering inside the cordon, waiting for the fire to be extinguished so that he could get closer to see what was going on.
Seeing his captain, Song Rong came to him and whispered what happened in the lab. Gu Yunqing's eyes widened: "Fuck! Are you saying there's a pervert trying to provoke Si Xu?"
That's really a life-threatening move. Si Xu has always been a reckless person, and now he finally has a soft spot. Why do you have to touch his soft spot when you can touch anyone else? That's courting death.
"Did the surveillance find out who it was?"
Song Rong said, "Professor Si was alone in there, I didn't go in."
Gu Yunqing became interested, so he asked Song Rong to guard outside and went to the monitoring room of the laboratory building.
Jiang Ran was sitting on a bench in the corridor, with her head lowered. She looked so well-behaved that it made people feel soft-hearted.
Alas, this little girl has been in trouble every day since she followed Si Xu. She is really pitiful.
Gu Yunqing thought about it and walked closer, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but then he heard the little girl mumbling.
"Damn it! Don't let me catch you, or I'll chop you into pieces and throw you out to feed the dogs..."
She beeped very quietly, but Gu Yunqing could still hear the fierceness in her gnashing teeth.
The words of comfort that were on the tip of his tongue suddenly became unspeakable. Gu Yunqing silently stopped, cleared his throat, and reminded the people sitting there that he was here.
"Ahem."
Jiang Ran turned to look at him, stood up, and greeted him politely: "Captain Gu."
No matter how you look at her, she is a gentle and well-behaved little lady.
Gu Yunqing was a little suspicious that what he had just heard was an illusion.
Stared at by Jiang Ran's unblinking black eyes, he suddenly forgot the purpose of his coming here.
"that……"
"Si Xu is in there." Jiang Ran pointed at the monitoring room. "He said there's a lot of radiation in there and won't let me in."
Gu Yunqing said "Oh", paused, and said: "I'll go in and take a look. Sister Ranran, you have to be careful here alone. Maybe that dangerous person will suddenly appear..."
Before he could finish his words, the door of the monitoring room was opened. Si Xu stood at the door, glancing at him with emotionless eyes.
Gu Yunqing immediately stopped joking and stood at attention: "Seventh Brother!"
Si Xu didn't say anything, frowning tightly. He took Jiang Ran's hand silently and said, "Let's go back."
"Hey, hey, hey, Si Xu." Gu Yunqing pointed at the monitoring room, "Any clues?"
The crease between Si Xu's eyebrows deepened: "I didn't take a picture of it."
The surveillance camera did capture the person delivering the item, but unfortunately the person was wrapped so tightly that his face couldn't be seen at all.
Without any clues, Gu Yunqing's face turned unhappy: "What are you going to do next?"
"Let's first tell them not to accept the things that are sent to them." Jiang Ran interrupted, "There are too many things coming in and out, which is the easiest way to confuse people."
"Of course." Gu Yunqing said, "But since that person has already attacked Si Xu, it may not be the lab, it could be the apartment. Do you want me to arrange a few people to guard you at the apartment?"
Si Xu shook his head: "No need."
"But..." What if I get attacked?
"I think..." Jiang Ran whispered, "that person's goal may not be Si Xu..."
Gu Yunqing: "Hmm?" If it wasn't Si Xu, then who was it? There wasn't anyone else in the lab worth all this fuss about, right?
He looked at Si Xu, who nodded, agreeing with Jiang Ran's point of view.
The man's target was not him, and the things he wanted to destroy had nothing to do with him. To be more precise, there was no necessary connection between them.
Gu Yunqing was shocked: "Then what is the purpose of this attack?" What else is there in the laboratory that is worthy of outsiders' covetousness and would cause such a big commotion?
