Liu Fang told Gu Wenyan about Mr. Lin's visit with some concern.
His eyes held a pleading look.
"Mr. Lin has always been the strictest, and Gu Wenyan has made a big mistake this time..."
Fan Xiaofan understood Liu Fang's meaning. She was still worried about Gu Wenyan's situation, but for Mr. Lin, it might be an unforgivable mistake.
She gently raised her head: "Of course, I also protect the people around me."
In fact, Gu Wenyan was not wrong. It's natural to be affected by childhood trauma. Mr. Lin was also not wrong. He did his duty to provide the most comprehensive protection for her safety.
Regarding Gu Wenyan's actions, Fan Xiaofan did not consider it an unforgivable mistake of betrayal. In fact, Gu Wenyan had been trying his best to suppress his emotions and fulfill his duties, so of course Fan Xiaofan wanted to protect him.
When Gu Wenyan returned, he had just reached the door when he overheard what Fan Xiaofan was saying.
The sunlight fell on him, enveloping his body and making him look extremely warm: "No need, I'm back."
Fan Xiaofan immediately broke into a big smile and patted Liu Fang on the shoulder: "So it seems Mr. Lin isn't so heartless after all~"
Liu Fang stared wide-eyed in surprise at Gu Wenyan, who shrugged and said, "What, aren't you welcome?"
"you……"
Liu Fang shook her head. In her memory, Mr. Lin usually seemed very gentle, but he had a very strict set of standards for mistakes when carrying out missions.
Fan Xiaofan tilted her head, somewhat understanding. It wasn't suitable for her to be around people who would attract attention. Liu Fang and Gu Wenyan had been by her side for so long that they had developed a tacit understanding, and she felt more at ease using the two of them.
Now that things are over, I can certainly continue working happily.
However, the next day, after receiving the latest news, the expressions on their faces all changed...
Someone died.
Mr. Lin had barely released the news when those waiting outside to find out more reacted extremely quickly, trying to find the researcher behind the scenes who had been unwilling to show his face...
They tentatively resorted to coercive measures...
Although they ultimately failed...
But in this process...
Someone sacrificed their life.
Fan Xiaofan swallowed nervously, subconsciously touching his neck. He had to cherish his life; who knew if he would have another chance to miraculously come back to life like after the last explosion?
"They can survive..."
She murmured to herself.
When she first learned about this, she never expected Mr. Lin to use such a method to cover up her identity. Therefore, she knew better than anyone else that those people could have escaped, since they were only protecting someone created by Mr. Lin who did not actually exist.
She suddenly gave a sad laugh, laughing at her own naivety. How could those people not know?
It was merely using their flesh and blood to forge a safer defense for her, making those with ulterior motives believe that there really was such a reclusive, highly skilled old man dedicated to research...
Liu Fang and Gu Wenyan looked at her with concern.
Having followed Xiao Fan for so long, it's not hard to observe from her daily life that she is a girl with a strong sense of empathy. She can be quite dramatic towards those with ulterior motives, but she is also very considerate of the feelings of those she cares about.
Fan Xiaofan forced a smile at herself in front of the mirror on the table, then stood up and forced a smile: "We should go to work..."
