Chapter 75: Walking with You She saw a familiar...
The next second, the metal door of the room was kicked open, and a familiar figure walked in against the backlight.
When he saw her, he paused, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Wen Yi subconsciously raised her hand to block the strong light and saw the person coming through her fingers.
"Wen Chi?!" She was startled. She had never expected to meet him here. "Why are you here?"
"You..." He was silent for a second, then glanced at her to make sure she was alright before speaking in a low voice, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? What's going on?"
This is called finding a way out of a desperate situation! Wen Yi was delighted.
Great! Being rescued by him is better than having to deal with Gu Yifeng's wrath!
"...come undercover?" She relaxed and spoke in a light tone.
Wen Chi: "..." He didn't respond, just glanced at her.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch.
"You and Gu..." he gritted his teeth, "Are you playing some childish wife-chasing game?"
"Ahem." She laughed dryly, "Brother, don't tell jokes at such a dangerous moment."
He didn't say anything, but simply reached out and grabbed her wrist and ran towards the exit: "Let's go, now is not the time to talk."
Wen Chi was the first to step out the door, and a powerful special domain instantly unfolded before them. He turned back and shouted into the house, "Follow!"
Several girls in the room followed closely and evacuated quickly under Wen Chi's cover.
The invisible force swept across like a violent storm, covering the special area and turning everything into ruins.
Wen Yi's pupils shrank - this was the first time she saw Wen Chi take action.
This "brother," usually sharp-tongued and arrogant, but especially forthright in sending her money, had never before revealed his true strength to her. It turned out that once he got serious, he was so cold and ruthless.
He has the power of life and death without any hesitation.
He clearly held no weapon, yet she seemed to see countless flashes of swords and sabers, sweeping across her vision in a bloody hail. She watched as the Secret Service agents who stood in their way were either ripped apart or instantly struck down, their bodies ripped apart before they could even utter a scream, their lives uncertain.
The corridor was filled with shrill alarms. She walked forward on the messy ground, with suppressed groans and the crisp sound of broken bones in her ears. She suspected that she heard the enemies' shrill screams, and her mind was filled with horrific images that were automatically completed.
The pale light above and the crimson liquid beneath her feet alternately stung her eyes. She couldn't help but shrink into Wen Chi's arms, trying to find a sense of security. But when she thought about who was doing it, she froze immediately. At this moment, she found herself somewhat afraid of Wen Chi, just as she was afraid of Gu Yifeng.
She used to think she knew the people around her very well, but now she realized how shallow her understanding was.
Wen Yi felt desolate inside: You are too naive, actually you don’t understand anything.
The strong smell of blood hit her face, and she frowned, her stomach churning. She tried hard to suppress the urge to vomit, but her body couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"Don't be afraid." Wen Chi noticed her discomfort and comforted her softly, "I won't let anything happen to you."
But she was too embarrassed to tell him that she was afraid of him being a walking killing machine!
"Go out first." Wen Chi said as he walked, "I'll ask him to pick you up right away."
When she heard this, she immediately looked up and stopped him, "No! I don't want to go back!"
"What's wrong? Did that guy named Gu bully you?" Wen Chi didn't stop, and the arm that was loosely supporting her suddenly tightened, holding her tightly in his arms.
She took a deep breath and briefly told him Gu Yifeng's plan.
She thought he would be shocked, angry, and would stand on her side.
Unexpectedly, Wen Chi, who had always disliked Gu Yifeng, was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "He is right. Let's listen to him."
"Brother?!" Wen Yi gritted her teeth, her face filled with disbelief. "Do you know what you're saying? What's the difference between him putting me under house arrest?"
"He's afraid you'll get into danger." Wen Chi sighed, "On this point, I agree with him."
The conversation reached a deadlock and neither of them said anything more. He protected her through layers of blockades and came to the outskirts of the laboratory.
Seeing that they were out of danger, he lowered his eyes to look at her, and said in a rare serious tone: "You have two choices now."
"First, follow me back to Moon Gap Mountain and get away from all this for a while. We can make a decision after things have calmed down."
"Second, go home with Gu Yifeng. At least for now... don't go against him."
He paused and looked at her with complicated eyes: "No matter which path you choose, I will not object."
He glanced back at the escaping mutants and whispered, "Wait here for a moment. I still have some things to deal with in the lab."
"...Yeah." Wen Yi said perfunctorily with her head down. She stood there, looking at his departing back thoughtfully.
After Wen Chi dealt with the people in the laboratory, he found that she was no longer there. He stood in front of the dim escape passage with a frown on his face.
At this moment, Wen Yi was struggling to ascend the stairs in the safety passage. Her physical condition was worse than she had imagined—her lower abdomen ached slightly, and her supernatural powers were like stagnant water, with no response no matter how hard she tried.
She gritted her teeth and moved up step by step. She didn't know how many flights of stairs she climbed before she finally pushed open the heavy iron door.
Outside the door, there was deafening electronic music.
She squinted, adjusting to the brightness. Colorful spotlights hung from the ceiling, casting a hazy shadow across the dance floor. Men and women were dancing closely, alcohol and sweat mingling in a chaotic atmosphere.
She quickly recognized the place - the Zero Point Club.
In the past timeline, she and Wen Chi had set foot here together to investigate the secret laboratory and rescue the trapped mutants.
Wen Yi had no time to relive the past and just wanted to leave as soon as possible. However, she lost her way in the swirling crowd and was suddenly bumped on the shoulder in the chaos.
A drunk man came over and said, "Beauty...", shaking his wine glass in his hand.
She frowned and dodged, but he grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't go. Please do me a favor and have a drink."
She didn't have enough strength and couldn't mobilize her special abilities, so he half-pushed her to a booth nearby.
The disco ball on the dance floor reflected dazzling and passionate light, and she vaguely saw a familiar figure in this colorful scene.
Her pupils trembled, and the figure sitting in the booth immediately reacted and looked at her.
Wen Yi subconsciously broke free from the man's hand: "Guo Qingyu!"
Guo Qingyu, sitting in the booth, stood up almost instantly, a look of surprise on his face. "Why are you here?" With that, everyone's eyes fell on Wen Yi. The people sitting in the booth weren't ordinary people; they were all prominent business tycoons. They looked at her with curiosity and caution.
Guo Qingyu sat in the middle, clearly the protagonist of this situation. Wen Yi's heart tightened, realizing that her rash intrusion might cause him trouble. She quickly stepped back, "Excuse me, I'll take my leave now."
"Wait!" Guo Qingyu called out to her. He walked a few steps in front of her, looked her up and down, and asked in a low voice, "You look pale. Are you feeling unwell?"
She shook her head.
He stared at her pale face and did not ask any further questions.
Then he turned around and faced the people in the booth, saying calmly, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to deal with. Let's get together another day. Have fun, and I'll sign the bill tonight." His polite words carried an irresistible tone.
Several people exchanged glances, smiled and nodded, and no one said anything more.
After leaving the nightclub, Wen Yi still felt her ears buzzing and her head felt a little dizzy. She breathed in the fresh air and casually asked, "Did I mess up your plan just now?"
Guo Qingyu said to the designated driver, "Drive the car over here," and his tone returned to his usual playful tone: "Isn't it right to say you're a troublemaker? Now this trouble has come to me on its own."
Wen Yi: ...
A smile curved his lips: "Are you...running away from home?"
Wen Yi remained silent, her eyes evasive.
"Shall I take you home first?" he asked tentatively.
She snorted softly, "How exactly will the Suwei Project you mentioned be implemented? I'd like to know."
Guo Qingyu raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Are you sure... you want to come with me?"
Wen Yi tilted her head: "Haven't you been waiting for me to come?"
Guo Qingyu looked at her with a deeper gaze and smiled: "Look at this matter. We were innocent at first, but now you have dragged us into this matter. It is completely unclear. If Gu Yifeng knew about this, he would definitely kill me."
Wen Yi frowned: "Is it really that serious?"
Guo Qingyu said nonchalantly: "He has already come to see me."
She paused, her eyes changing immediately: "When?"
"A few hours ago."
Wen Yi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Then...will you hand me over to him?"
Guo Qingyu did not answer immediately. His car slowly stopped in front of him, and the black paint reflected the figures of the two people standing opposite each other.
He opened the car door and gestured "please." "You should have known I was a businessman. I never do business that loses money." He put away his smile and looked down at her. "Getting in the car was your decision alone, but getting out is not up to you. It will be too late to regret it then."
"Bang--"
The car door closed, blocking out the noise from the outside world, and the car slowly drove into the night.
*
A black SUV stopped in front of the Zero Point Club.
As soon as the car stopped, the door was pushed open suddenly, Gu Yifeng jumped out, and the black figure flashed by and walked straight into the nightclub.
After receiving Wen Chi's message, he rushed to pick him up almost immediately. But he didn't expect that he was still a step too late.
She ran away a long time ago.
Gao Yiyuan held the tablet in his hand and whispered a few words in his ear. Gu Yifeng frowned and his eyes grew colder.
"Check Guo Qingyu's whereabouts."
*
The elevator continued to descend, as if it was taking them to the center of the universe. With a soft "ding" sound, the elevator door slid open silently.
Wen Yi followed Guo Qingyu to the heavy explosion-proof door. He reached out and pressed the iris recognition button. A green light swept across his eyes, and the door slowly opened. They arrived at a large, quiet but orderly laboratory.
"Welcome to the core of the Suwei Project." Guo Qingyu said with pride, "This is the real starting point."
Everything in front of her made her hold her breath.
This laboratory was full of a futuristic feel. Holographic projection screens were embedded on all four walls, and endless data flowed slowly on the screens, like the infinitely extending light cones she saw in high-dimensional space, and like time flowing day and night.
Wen Yi's attention was attracted by the circular control center in the center, and in the center of the entire platform, a display stand stood quietly.
It is not high, but it embodies extraordinaryness in every aspect.
A transparent cube floats above the obsidian pedestal, spinning quietly like a rotating planet.
Wen Yi looked at the rotating cube in surprise.
"That's the anti-gravity field display stand I designed." Guo Qingyu noticed her gaze and spoke with a hint of pride. He led her to the control center while explaining, pointing to the device held up by the miniature gravitational field. "This is the ChronoScope—it's the first time humans have truly touched 'time.'"
Its appearance was smaller than she had imagined, like a lightweight head-mounted VR device, with a streamlined titanium alloy frame that shone with light, and countless hair-thin induction rings embedded on the edge.
Wen Yi reached out to touch it, then retracted her hand: "It's so... small? I remember the 'Anchor of Time' was as big as a room!"
Guo Qingyu smiled: "Great things never need to be big."
He reached out and picked up the time-scanning device, gently placing it in her palm. The cold metal against her palm made her heart beat faster for some reason.
"Do you want to give it a try?"
