"Oh no, get out of the way!" Sun Yue's expression changed, but he was still a step too late.
The pink liquid flowed from the container and then turned into a cloud of smoke that enveloped them. When the smoke dissipated, Lu Qingyan and Zhu Jun were nowhere to be seen.
"Useless!" Madam Pan gritted her teeth and said, "So many of you couldn't even stop a little girl, what are you good for?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Sun Yue's eyes: "Madam, why don't you say you lured her here? I'm not your subordinate!"
A flash of crimson light appeared in Sun Yue's eyes. Pan's mother obediently took a few steps back and called out blankly, "Master."
Lu Qingyan and Zhu Juncai left the research institute and ran into Pan Qingbai.
Seeing that Lu Qingyan was struggling to support Zhu Jun, he quickly came over and took him from her: "Xiao Ran, what's wrong with him?" Pan Qingbai didn't know the situation was urgent, but he still asked the question while he and Lu Qingyan were running away.
Lu Qingyan said, "Come with me first."
Lu Qingyan led Pan Qingbai to a secluded corner and splashed a large handful of water at Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun was unconscious simply because he had been drugged. He woke up immediately after being splashed with water. As soon as he saw Pan Qingbai, he looked wary and pulled Lu Qingyan behind him, asking, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Qingyan pulled the man behind her again, looking at him with a helpless expression: "Brother, do you remember what happened after you went out?"
"After I went out..." Zhu Jun's mind was still a little dazed, but he quickly remembered: "It was Xu Guoping and Chang Zhan. I called the two of them to investigate the person who kicked Grandpa out, but the two of them actually drugged me!"
As Zhu Jun spoke, he punched the wall: "I trusted those two so much, but they're both scoundrels. They threw all my sincerity at the dogs!"
"It was those two?" When they couldn't find the medicine in the car during the previous mission, Lu Qingyan had a vague feeling that there was a traitor among them. But they had relied on each other for so long, and Lu Qingyan was unwilling to suspect anyone. The truth was even more cruel than she had imagined.
There were not just one, but two people who betrayed them.
Even someone as timid as Zhang Yan didn't do anything outrageous. On the contrary, it was Xu Guoping, who seemed honest and kind, and Chang Zhan, who seemed reckless, who betrayed them as longtime comrades.
Lu Qingyan felt a chill in her heart.
But there are some things I can't understand: what exactly did the two of them reach with the research institute?
“Brother, you rest here for a while. Pan Qingbai, you come with me to the research institute,” Lu Qingyan said.
“I’ll go too,” Zhu Jun said, not wanting to be left behind, and volunteered.
"You should just give up." Lu Qingyan rejected him without hesitation: "I can't trust you in your current state. If you fall into the hands of those people, I'll have to go and rescue you again."
Zhu Jun helplessly touched his nose. What should he do? It seemed like his sister disliked him.
But Zhu Jun was also worried about letting Pan Qingbai come along: "Should I go and call Zhang Yan and Zhang Bao?"
"Go and meet up with them first, and have them protect you properly." With her light-based superpower making her so hated, Lu Qingyan was genuinely afraid that others might also have designs on Zhu Jun.
"Okay." Zhu Jun could not persuade Lu Qingyan otherwise, so he had no choice but to agree. Now, in their team, only Zhang Yan and Zhang Bao could be trusted.
