Chapter 729: Chapter 728: A Secret About You Chapter 729: Chapter 728: A Secret About You Tian Shu’s attack was extremely fierce, and within a single move, he had forced Lu Mian away to an even further distance from Huo Zhu.

Lu Mian responded to each attack, tangling with Tian Shu in combat.

At the Xuefeng Mountain Laboratory, Xiao Qimo and his colleagues did not witness the explosion they had anticipated.

Everyone had mentally braced themselves, waiting for several minutes with no ensuing action.

Wa Zhiqi, caught between laughter and tears, said, “Don’t be like this, ah, death isn’t scary, waiting for death is. Can’t you give a brother a quick end?”

Mo Fan had been dutifully protecting Xiao Qimo’s side, and seeing his master silent, he asked in a low voice, “Master, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Qimo, somewhat irritated, pinched the bridge of his nose, “I don’t know, I’m just feeling uneasy.”

“Think about Miss Lu more, she’s still waiting for you to return,” Mo Fan rarely advised someone and hit the nail on the head this time.

The refined man glanced at him and parted his lips.

“Come back, and I’ll give you a raise.”

“Thank you, Master Mo.”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Wa Zhiqi was even more caught between laughter and tears, “Mr. Qimo, what’s happening here?”

Xiao Qimo silently moved to the screen they had been using before.

The content on the button page had changed.

On the black page, there was only one sentence.

[Danger removed, take care, everyone.]

There was no signature.

No beginning or end.

Before Xiao Qimo could analyze anything, the door of the sealed laboratory suddenly opened, and Daine’s people became excited in an instant, “Can we leave now?”

“Mr. Qimo, stop looking. Carrying out the mission is what matters!”

“Master Mo, let’s go quickly!”

Xiao Qimo turned around and took a deep look at those eight characters.

Who was helping them from behind the scenes?

Could it be there was someone else investigating the New World Laboratory?

Yinye Island, New World Laboratory.

Inside the grand meeting hall, the cold gleam of a dagger was particularly dazzling in the poorly lit space.

The man and the girl started with bare-fisted fights, which escalated to blade against blade, the sounds of their struggle echoing in the hall.

The space was large enough to withstand their tumbling about.

After a good half-hour, tranquility finally returned to the grand hall.

Huo Zhu, with his eyes closed, resting, felt a tinge of regret in his hoarse voice after the quiet resumed, “Is it over?”

“Yes, it’s over,” Lu Mian replied coolly.

Huo Zhu opened his eyes abruptly, and on the hall floor, he found the fallen Tian Shu.

But faster than his reaction, Lu Mian leaped to the platform above, spinning her dagger in her palm and placing it against Huo Zhu’s carotid artery, not forgetting to grab Huo Zhu’s hand, making him grip the dagger himself.

Oh, this man’s blood was too dirty, and she didn’t want to get it on her hands.

She pressed down on Huo Zhu’s wrist.

Huo Zhu looked up coldly at the girl.

The young, beautiful face was smeared with someone’s fresh blood. Excessive fighting had made her sweat, dampening her hair.

In her disheveled state, she still exuded an austere, cool charm.

It was also at this moment that Lu Mian finally saw Huo Zhu’s face clearly and she paused slightly.

This face…

Delicate, attractive, sickly white, it was like something straight out of a romance novel’s villainous CEO.

Suddenly, she felt Huo Zhu was somewhat unreal.

But more importantly, she realized Huo Zhu’s combat strength… was virtually zero.

No wonder he managed to hide his base so well, she really overestimated Huo Zhu’s fighting ability.

During the few seconds Lu Mian was contemplating, Huo Zhu had already activated the alarm button on his chair.

But he discovered–

The alarm system was out of control; he couldn’t mobilize the dead soldiers at all.

Everything turned too quickly.

Huo Zhu had never even considered the possibility, let alone expected, that someone could defeat Tian Shu. Moreover, in a one-on-one fight, Tian Shu actually lost to this frail girl,

This successful experiment subject, she was indeed too successful.

“My trump card isn’t just No. 13,” Lu Mian said softly, lifting her left foot and placing her thin and straight leg arrogantly on the cold chair.

She mercilessly crushed this filthy position.

“And you, it’s time for you to be out of the game,”

Her voice was cold, and the arrogance and wicked aura that she exuded from her bones were like an emperor from hell.

She exerted a little force, and the dagger left a bloody trace on the sickly pale neck of Huo Zhu.

Below the steps, Hua Ying suddenly screamed herself hoarse.

“Don’t hurt him! Don’t hurt the professor!”

The professor had no real combat ability, he was just a scientist with a powerful brain, and he had no way to resist Lu Mian.

No one expected Tian Shu to fall.

No one could have guessed that Lu Mian would come this far.

It was their turf, yet Lu Mian had taken control of the initiative herself and even got a grip on the most important person on this island.

Where were the dead soldiers?

Why hadn’t the dead soldiers come yet?

Could it be that Lu Mian had just hacked the entire system of Yinye Island again?

“Lu Mian, I beg you, don’t hurt him!”

With one leg on the chair, Lu Mian turned back to look down at Hua Ying, “What else do you have to wager?”

“I have it! I have it!” Hua Ying said in a rush, her eyes fixed desperately on Lu Mian’s dagger, filled with fear, even more panicked than she would be at her own death.

“I can tell you a secret.”

“Is the value of the secret worth his life, is it that valuable?”

“To others, it’s not. But this matter, it’s about you!” Hua Ying spoke very quickly.

“Let’s hear it.”

Hua Ying was choked up; she had no room for bargaining, the knife was against the professor’s throat, and she was terrified.

The professor couldn’t be harmed.

He still had a mission to change the human world, he absolutely could not be harmed!

“You had a DNA test done at my father’s place, didn’t you? Don’t you want to know the result? My father is not in the state to tell you now, and I am the only person who knows about this,” said Hua Ying with a ferocious expression.

Lu Mian was getting a bit impatient.

“You’re not really your parents’ child, you have no blood relation to them at all! As long as you let the professor go, I’ll help you open the door to leave Yinye Island, and you can go find your real parents!”

Lu Mian’s dagger trembled slightly.

This result…

She hadn’t expected it.

She hadn’t expected to find out this way, either.

Her hand shook, and Huo Zhu suddenly let out a muffled grunt as something liquid sprayed out from his neck.

Hua Ying screamed, her eyes bloodshot.

Lu Mian wiped her dagger on Huo Zhu’s body, apologizing nonchalantly, “Ah, sorry, my hand slipped.”

From the beginning, she had never intended to let Huo Zhu go.

Hua Ying was so angry she could spit blood, as she actually shifted blame onto the professor!

Huo Zhu’s voice was intermittent.

“Do you think… the man you like… is a good person? He, he actually…”

Lu Mian grabbed Huo Zhu’s wrist, and her hand slipped again, silencing the man’s forthcoming words.

Typical of a ruthless person who doesn’t say much.

Huo Zhu was not reconciled, his eyes wouldn’t close.

Lu Mian disdainfully let go of Huo Zhu’s wrist and turned away smoothly.

No one could speak ill of Director Qimo.

No one was allowed.
