“You seem to have misunderstood something. You have no reason to negotiate with me now,” Cheng Jin said, his grip tightening.
Shang Ning was in pain from being pinched and had no choice but to look up at Cheng Jin, "Do you understand what I'm telling you?"
Cheng Jin listened to these words, as if he were pondering the question.
Shang Ning was thrown to the ground by Cheng Jin. She kept looking at Xia Tian, wanting to go over and check on her, but she couldn't move.
"Take her to the lab," Cheng Jin said, turning to leave.
"Wait, release them first." Shang Ning was pulled up and looked at Xia Tian, who was hunched over on the ground, and insisted that they release the people first.
"Professor Shang, you should consider your own situation first," Cheng Jin said sarcastically, directly admitting his own suspicions.
Shang Ning, being supported by others, smiled slightly. "I like to play the role of a fake good person. I have a particularly hypocritical hero complex. In this world, I am the one who understands that plan the most. If you don't release her, I won't say a word. If you kill her, you will never know what Lingguang Stone is in your life. If you don't believe me, just try it."
Cheng Jin turned to look at Shang Ning, whose face was deathly pale. "Are you stalling for time?"
"I told you to release them." Shang Ning enunciated each word clearly.
Cheng Jin and Shang Ning stared at each other; at this moment, it was a contest of endurance.
"What do you have to offer me now to negotiate with me?" Cheng Jin asked.
"I have nothing, except what you want." Shang Ning slightly curled the corners of her lips, suppressing her panic. Jin Yining wouldn't be so angry as to completely ignore her, would she?
"Once I get what I want, I will naturally release them," Cheng Jin said, and had someone take Shang Ning away.
He wanted what he wanted and didn't want to create any more complications, which is why he was able to live longer than the old wolf.
Shang Ning was ushered into the laboratory, which was very large and filled with advanced equipment, many of which were things that Shang Ning had wanted but had been rejected by the school because they were too expensive.
The machines were all running, and several light analysis instruments could be seen displaying the analyzed spectra. There was a sound behind the machines, and Shang Ning was pushed, staggered a few steps, and saw the person standing up over there.
Cheng Jin brought the man over. The man had a messy beard, and his white coat was wrinkled with something stuck to it. His black-rimmed glasses couldn't hide his dark circles.
It turned out to be a Chinese person.
The man's eyes lit up when he saw Shang Ning. He ran over and grabbed her arm with his rough hands. "Little girl, it's you! Come quick, let me see how the light here changes..."
Shang Ning was dragged over by Chen Feng while his hands were still tied behind his back. Looking at the spectrum on the computer screen, it was clear that the spectrum had deviated from the normal trajectory.
Seeing Chen Feng's excited expression, Shang Ning was pulled so hard that she could barely stand.
“Your lab report mentions a luminous stone. Luminous stones can refract light at different angles, but what is its function? I’ve simulated many angles but I can’t figure it out. Come on, little girl, tell me, tell me…” Chen Feng became more and more excited as he spoke, showing Shang Ning his latest progress.
Shang Ning looked at Cheng Jin, who was standing to the side. Was this the researcher he had found?
"Professor Shang, you only need to tell him the function of the Lingguang Stone, and I will naturally release you and your friends. I have no intention of causing trouble in City A," Cheng Jin said calmly, waiting for Shang Ning's response.
