Chapter 212, Layers of Calculation
After staying in the laboratory building until late at night, Shen Yao packed up her things and left the laboratory building.
"Yo."
At the foot of the stairs, the young man stood in the moonlight, and his smile was even gentler than the moonlight.
But she knew that his gentleness was just an appearance, and he was a devil who treated human life as worthless.
She walked up to him step by step without stopping, looked up at him, and said sarcastically: "When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will be king - I have seen it today."
Qin Huai didn't get angry because of her ridicule. He smiled good-naturedly: "Seeing that you haven't come back so late, I was worried and came to pick you up."
"No need." She sneered, "Who else in this base is more dangerous than you?"
Avoiding her angry gaze, Qin Huai seemed helpless and sighed softly: "Miss Shen, you have a deep misunderstanding of me."
"Misunderstanding?" Her eyes were red, and she clenched her fists tightly to prevent herself from screaming. "You killed my best friend, Qin Huai."
He refused to leave her house and even killed Su Qin and Gu Yunqing who came to visit her.
"You will get your comeuppance, you bastard." She cursed through gritted teeth, walked around him and into the moonlight.
The man followed her slowly, looking at her back, with a smile in his eyes that deepened.
"Tsk tsk, after so many years, your temper has worsened."
…
The two walked to the door one after the other. From a distance, Shen Yao saw a person standing at the door of the apartment.
He stood in the moonlight, his slender figure seemed a little thin, the watery moonlight draped over him, and his obsidian eyes reflected a charming look, making him look a bit more romantic and dissolute.
"Brother?" Shen Yao stopped in her tracks when she saw the man's face clearly.
She was a little panicked.
Because of Gu Yunqing and Su Qin, she knew that Qin Huai was a cruel person. He did not show any mercy to Gu Su, his former companions. What would he do when facing Shen Yang, the heir of the Shen family?
"Another guest is coming." Before she could come up with a plan, Qin Huai had already passed by her and walked straight towards Shen Yang, "It's an old acquaintance."
"Qin Huai!" She called the man's name in panic. Shen Yao chased after him in a few steps, ran in front of Shen Yang, and made a blocking gesture, "Stay away from my brother!"
Shen Yang and Shen Yao had not been close since childhood, and he did not expect that a girl would stand in front of her at this time.
The man lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes.
He placed one hand on Shen Yao's shoulder, patted her gently, and whispered: "It's okay, Yaoyao."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Huai: "Long time no see, Qin Huai."
The tone was as familiar as that of an old acquaintance.
Chen Yao was stunned.
Qin Huai has stopped.
His gaze lingered on Shen Yao's dull face for a moment, then moved to Shen Yang.
The tone was lazy and sharp, unlike the gentleness he usually pretended to be.
"Shen Yang, I haven't seen you for a year, and you still look so dead."
It was like a meeting of old friends. Both of them took off their disguises and revealed their true sides that they would not show to outsiders.
Shen Yang laughed, his laughter wanton: "You are going backwards as you grow older - you actually have to rely on a girl to cover up. Qin Huai, don't forget, she is my sister, different from the tool I gave you."
"I know, so you see, I didn't do anything."
“…”
Shen Yao's head was buzzing.
She could no longer hear what the two were saying.
However, she still obtained some key information from the conversation between the two.
The two of them did know each other, and Shen Yang had helped Qin Huai.
He said that the tools she gave him were different from the ones he gave her...
Shen Yao thought of the girl who was said to have been bewitched by Qin Huai and helped him remove the bomb from his heart. The girl's father was a close confidant of the Shen family.
Could it be...
Her forehead was soaked with cold sweat. Shen Yao suddenly took two steps back and shook off Shen Yang's hand on her shoulder.
The two men stopped talking.
They were all looking at her.
"It was you?" Chen Yao looked at her brother and asked word by word, "It was you who sent that innocent woman into the laboratory to give Qin Huai a chance to escape?"
After a moment of surprise, Shen Yang chuckled: "You also heard about that woman?" He glanced at Qin Huai, "I only let him escape, not kill anyone."
Qin Huai shrugged: "I didn't kill her." The knife was not fatal. If she died, we can only blame those people for not rescuing her in time.
Both of them were indifferent, even though a life was lost because of their calculations.
Restraining the trembling of her body caused by anger, Shen Yao took a deep breath and whispered: "You guys chat, I'm going back first."
What good was she doing being angry? She was now a helpless prey, unable to protect even her best friend. What else could she do?
The girl dragged her tired body upstairs somewhat dejectedly, but as soon as she opened the door, someone covered her mouth from inside.
"Shh, I'm Jiang Ran's friend. I'm here to save you. Now follow me."
The person's voice was very low, and it was not difficult to hear the youthfulness in it.
"Jiang Ran's friend?" She was stunned. "You..."
"This isn't the place to talk. Come with me first." The man grabbed her hand and tried to leave. "That guy's mental power is quite formidable. While your brother..."
Before he finished speaking, a deep sigh was heard from the aisle.
“Hey, Shen Yang, your partner is a bit stupid.”
Qin Huai stood at the gate and blocked the two people who were trying to escape inside.
Shen Yang stood behind him, his smile slightly changing: "It's quite silly."
The young man holding Shen Yao was stunned: "Shen Yang! You betrayed me!"
He was so angry that he wanted to condense his supernatural power to chop him.
But before he could make a move, he was restrained by Qin Huai's mental ability.
"Don't move."
After the man gave the order, he looked at the girl who took a step forward to protect the boy behind her, his eyes revealing indulgence and helplessness.
"What are you blocking him for?"
Shen Yao clenched her fist: "Qin Huai, let him go, he is still a child."
"That won't do. Haven't you heard that he wants to deal with me?" Qin Huai smiled, grabbed the girl's wrist, and pushed her into Shen Yang's arms, "Keep an eye on your sister."
Shen Yang took the girl's hand and whispered, "Don't move, Yaoyao."
"Brother! Let him go! He is your partner, isn't he? He is also Ranran's friend!"
Watching the boy being taken away by Qin Huai, the faces of Gu Yunqing and Su Qin flashed in her mind, and Shen Yao's emotions completely collapsed.
She struggled hard, and her cries sounded very sad in the night.
"Save him! Big brother! Please save him! I beg you!"
"Yaoyao, calm down." Shen Yang's voice was even lower. "Trust me."
Believe me.
Shen Yang had never said this to her.
He always handled everything by himself - seemingly out of touch, and the elders would call him a playboy when they saw him - and then casually put the credit on my grandfather.
He is always like this.
Shen Yao suddenly became quiet.
She sniffed and hid in her brother's arms without saying a word.
Shen Yang took off his coat and wrapped her up.
The view was pitch black.
She heard her brother talking to that person: "As agreed, Xiling Base is given to you, and I will take Shen Yao back to the Shen family."
