Because they were on the wanted list, Zhou Siyu and Yu Wen had a very difficult journey. The drones patrolling overhead made them afraid to take a step, and even at night they could only sneak along the walls, like thieves.
Fortunately, with the wings, the two walked for almost half a month before reaching a rebel stronghold.
"Is this your territory?"
Zhou Siyu watched as Yu Wen opened the sewer manhole cover, unwilling to accept this fact.
For a rebel organization that is supposed to be prominent and consistently at the top of the wanted list, the living conditions are just too poor.
Yu Wen didn't explain. He grabbed both sides of the manhole cover and climbed down the ladder to the bottom of the manhole.
Zhou Siyu was starting to regret it. Why would he leave his luxurious manor to explore the stinking sewers? What was he after?
"Come down."
Yu Wen took out a flashlight and shone it on Zhou Siyu's face from the bottom of the well. Zhou Siyu frowned and reluctantly walked down into the well, standing side by side with Yu Wen on a stone platform.
A jet-black train approached silently from the darkness, like a ghost.
"Walk."
Yu Wen pulled Zhou Siyu onto the train, which quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"The train is automated, and the glass is specially made so that it can only detect the light of a special flashlight."
Yu Wen shone his flashlight and patiently explained.
"You're just telling me such a high-level secret like this?"
Zhou Siyu took the palm-sized flashlight and played with it. The outer shell was made of high-density pumice material, and it was completely black. It felt cool to the touch.
"I'll tell you sooner or later." Yu Wen put away the flashlight: "You'll have one someday too."
Zhou Siyu nodded, hiding the lower half of her face in her high collar.
Having not seen each other for over a year, and with each harboring their own secrets, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and an eerie silence fell over the air. Yu Wen pushed up his glasses, determined to break the silence.
Are you feeling better?
The two had not seen each other for a long time, and Yu Wen only occasionally heard news about Zhou Siyu.
He was injured, he deliberately infected himself with the virus, he went into the lab, and his fate is unknown...
To the rebels, Zhou Siyu was a troublesome person, but also someone they could use. To Yu Wen, he was both a target and a friend.
"It's all better now." Zhou Siyu pinched her cheek, saying with obvious satisfaction, "Haven't you noticed I've gotten younger?"
Yu Jiu examined her carefully for a while and nodded: "She's definitely young, looks like she's eighteen."
Zhou Siyu is thirty years old now. He didn't take care of himself before, so he had a lot of fine lines around his eyes. But now his skin is smooth and fair, without a single fine line, which makes people very envious.
The train traveled in the darkness for a long time, winding and circling several times before finally coming to a stop at another sewer. Yu Wen led Zhou Siyu off the train, and Zhou Siyu immediately spotted the sign he had secretly hung in the shadows.
Good heavens, no wonder the Alliance couldn't find the rebel organization. They wandered around in the dark for so long that they were dizzy and couldn't possibly remember the route.
Yu Wen stood by a simple, unadorned wall, reached out and pressed his hand against it. An exquisite Qiongqi pattern appeared on the wall, and Qiongqi's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, shooting out two dark red beams of light.
After verifying Yu Wen's identity, the wall slowly opened, revealing a straight elevator behind it. The two stepped into the fully enclosed elevator, and after a short while, the elevator opened again. Yu Wen stood there for a long time, and only after making a great decision did he step out of the elevator.
Zhou Siyu found it strange, but didn't say anything, because as soon as he stepped off the elevator, he was taken to another room by two armed men.
The two guards stared intently at him as he took off his coat, revealing his long hair pulled back by a crew-neck T-shirt, and his beautiful shoulder blades and slender waist were on full display.
The two couldn't help but swallow hard, their eyes burning with undisguised fervor.
"Is it pretty?" Zhou Siyu turned her head to the side, her peach blossom eyes filled with a faint smile, and beckoned to the two of them with her finger, "Come here."
The two were so dizzy from that laugh that they were completely mesmerized by Zhou Siyu's gesture and floated over.
"Slap slap..."
A crisp slap rang out, leaving the two stunned and bewildered, covering their faces.
"What is my status and what is your position? Look at me, do you even deserve to be my equal?" The cold voice was full of sarcasm and contempt, and her peach blossom eyes were veiled with a hint of anger, making it impossible to see her deeper emotions.
"Hahaha, it's been years! I didn't expect my dear nephew to be just as good as ever."
A deep voice sounded, and a person leaning on a cane slowly appeared in front of her. Zhou Siyu glanced at him, then turned back to continue putting on her clothes.
"My dear nephew, you were absolutely unwilling to cooperate back then, but now you've even come here in person. I wonder what your thoughts are on that?"
"Thoughts?" Zhou Siyu finished putting on his shirt and asked in return, "What do you think about the goal of replacing you as the security captain?"
Chu Sheng's face turned into a palette of colors, patchy blue and black, his eyes blazing with fury.
"Just kidding." Zhou Siyu waved his hand. "The job of security captain is not suitable for me. After all, this kind of position requires rich experience and life experience, which I am not qualified for."
Zhou Siyu may seem to be belittling herself, but in reality, she is looking down on others.
Chu Sheng was enraged by Zhou Siyu's amused tone and attitude, and wished he could tear Zhou Siyu apart with his bare hands.
Everyone used to fawn over him, even Zhou Siyu had to flatter him, calling him President Chu and groveling before him. He had never been treated like this before.
"You're angry already?" Zhou Siyu crossed her arms and walked to Chu Sheng's side, leaning forward slightly to whisper in his ear: "You'd better behave yourself and not provoke me, or you won't even be able to keep what you have now."
