BC Chapter 194

Chapter 193

The matter of Lu Ziming and Yao Jinglin being attacked and Xue Yiran’s disappearance couldn’t possibly be glossed over so easily. The next day, Yao Jinglin took Lu Ziming, who had been living as an outsider these past few days, to the Jiang family’s laboratory building.

Before this, Yao Jinglin had actually been aware of the progress of He Linglong and Jiang Jüncheng’s affairs here. However, after private discussions between the three of them, they unanimously decided not to involve the amnesiac Lu Ziming for the time being, so Lu Ziming was unaware of what was happening here.

Last night, after Yao Jinglin and Lu Ziming returned to Yao Jinglin’s apartment, they didn’t pretend that nothing had happened and let it go. While they were cooking, Lu Ziming asked the questions she wanted to know.

Such as the identities of the two groups of people just now, why Yao Jinglin was so alert and noticed the other party’s flaws first, and the work arrangements for the future, and so on.

Through the confrontation with the other party, Yao Jinglin also realized that things had developed to the point where she had to pull Lu Ziming into the matter. Naturally, she told her everything they had been secretly doing recently, as well as the entire story.

Since the other party had already brazenly come to snatch Lu Ziming, the “trump card” they had deliberately hidden, they could no longer protect the current Lu Ziming in a greenhouse, preventing her from contacting any outside news.

She now had to understand the seriousness of the situation and take responsibility for protecting her own safety. After all, she and Yin Suna were the biggest cards that He and Jiang’s side were sure could crush the other party.

“Why didn’t you tell me about such a dangerous thing earlier?” Yao Jinglin, wearing a pink apron, was stirring the chicken wings in the pot, the sauce gradually thickening. Behind her, Lu Ziming gently leaned in and hugged Yao Jinglin’s slender waist, while questioning her in a reproachful tone.

Although the content sounded like a complaint, in Yao Jinglin’s eyes, Lu Ziming’s behavior was more like a coquettish act. She smiled slightly, raised her hand and tapped Lu Ziming’s head resting on her shoulder, and said gently, “You’ve protected me so many times, it’s my turn to protect you this time, right? Besides, you have amnesia, of course I don’t want you to live so tiredly like before.”

“If those guys hadn’t overstepped their bounds and even tried to kidnap you, I actually still hoped you could live an ordinary life, like everyone else, going to work on time for three meals a day, taking occasional breaks, and doing things you love to do.” Yao Jinglin lifted her fingers gently and slowly placed her entire hand on Lu Ziming’s face on her shoulder, turning her head with lowered eyes and gentle gaze.

Lu Ziming was captivated by her gentle appearance and couldn’t help but turn her head and peck Yao Jinglin’s pink lips.

“It’s okay, having you is enough for me. If the price of keeping me out of this is you having to bear it for me, then I’d rather they all come for me, just me.” Lu Ziming’s hands tightened, and the two of them pressed closer together. She was truly grateful that the other party was only coming for her. As long as Yao Jinglin wasn’t involved in the experiment, she wouldn’t be in too much danger—she really didn’t want Yao Jinglin to go through those things again. If she had been a step late just now, perhaps all she would be able to hold now would be Yao Jinglin’s cold corpse.

After all, the other party’s inhumanity and ruthlessness had been fully demonstrated in the previous incident in Qingshui City.

After Lu Ziming realized the seriousness of the situation, she took the initiative to ask Yao Jinglin to take her to the Jiang family’s laboratory building. The job was originally arranged for her by the Jiang family, so if she wanted to resign, she would have to inform the Jiang family. As for the next arrangements, they would have to be finalized after meeting and discussing with Jiang Jüncheng, He Linglong, and others.

……

The scale of the Jiang family’s laboratory building was enough to shock anyone who came here for the first time. After all, being able to occupy such a large area of land in a park was already a remarkable feat.

Lu Ziming was no exception, of course. From the moment Yao Jinglin’s car drove into the park, she was overwhelmed by the fleeting scenery outside—not because the vegetation, flowers, trees, and plants along the way were so rare and unusual, but because the further they drove, the more she couldn’t help but wonder if the Jiang family and the urban construction department had some kind of unspeakable relationship.

It wasn’t until she got out of the car at the Jiang family’s courtyard, looked up and saw the exterior of the building, which occupied a considerable area, and saw the valuable interior decoration after entering the building, that Lu Ziming realized why the Jiang family was the one being pushed to the front to be responsible for confronting that secret force.

No one would be foolish enough to think that the country really had no involvement in the Jiang family’s experiment, or that they didn’t know about the content of the experiment and the existence of the Mutants. However, compared to the Jiang family being pushed to the front, the country had become a presence hidden behind the scenes. A family like the Jiang family was just one of the country’s masks.

After all, many times, “the tallest tree catches the most wind” was not just a saying. Whether it was the culprit, the hero, or just a scapegoat, someone always had to be pushed out.

As for whether the final result was good or bad, it depended on both strength and luck.
