Right at that moment, the wall facing her began to change, revealing the see-through glass wall. Lu Jia’er turned her attention to the see-through glass wall at once. She saw a man in his early thirties with a white lab coat and a pair of glasses on. His expression was strange. Instead of being calm, which Lu Jia’er thought he should be, he appeared to be stunned.
Lu Jia’er thought her scream had caught the attention of one of the staff members. In the meantime, she heard the man saying, “Jia’er, it’s me!”
That voice was too familiar to her. A charming voice that contained a little bit of distance. It was the unique voice of Jin Xiangdong!
A glint appeared and sparkled within Lu Jia’er’s eyes. Standing out there now was neither the staff nor Jin Shengping or Jin Xianglan. It was Jin Xiangdong.
“Ace!” Lu Jia’er tried to sit up as she called his name.
Outside, Jin Xiangdong noticed Lu Jia’er was tied to the testbed. He was filled with both surprise and tension. “Ace, I am glad you are okay, I am so glad!” He heard her saying.
Seeing Jin Xiangdong acting relieved eased the weight on Lu Jia’er’s mind. She was happy, pleasantly surprised and at the same time… sad.
As for the sad part, it was completely because of the idea that had just formed in her mind. Though she was not completely sure of it, she believed that her theory would pretty much reflect the truth.
Jin Xiangdong felt guilty that he did not protect her when he saw Lu Jia’er had worried about him so much.
So many incidents had happened since he brought her to the lab. He was knocked out in the bathroom. After he woke up, he learned about the disappearance of Lu Jia’er and then that the mysterious Colin had pretended to be him.
“Jia’er, hang on a second!” Jin Xiangdong shouted to Lu Jia’er who was still tied to the testbed.
Then, Jin Xiangdong checked the control console and quickly found the switch for the testbed.
After some the bed clanged for a while, Lu Jia’er, who had been tied around her wrists, ankles, and waist, was finally freed. She got up quickly and ran to the door.
The door was open. She stepped through it and threw herself into Jin Xiangdong’s arms at once. That familiar smell of him reached her nose. His body warmed hers. He was the Ace that belonged to her.
Jin Xiangdong hugged her closely and apologized with guilt. “Jia’er, I am sorry that I couldn’t protect you!”
Lu Jia’er looked up at him. “Ace, do you know how I felt the moment you showed up? I thought you were superman!”
Men could not resist the honeyed words of admiration declared by a woman. Yet this was not a moment for affection. Jin Xiangdong urged her, “This is not a place for us to stay. Let’s go!”
With that said, Jin Xiangdong helped Lu Jia’er into a white lab coat.
Lu Jia’er asked after she put it on. “How did you get in here?”
“Colin helped me.” Jin Xiangdong replied.
Lu Jia’er was surprised to hear this name. “Colin?”
“I will explain to you when we get out!” Jin Xiangdong hurried her.
Lu Jia’er nodded and Jin Xiangdong took her away from the lab.
When Lu Jia’er stepped out, she noticed that she had never been to this place before.
The first thing Lu Jia’er did was to look for surveillance cameras. Noticing this action, Jin Xiangdong looked at his watch and said in a low voice, “The surveillance system was hacked. We only have three minutes!”
Three minutes! Three minutes were far from enough!
However, Lu Jia’er did not want to escape by herself. She wanted to find Ian and bring him away with them.
“Where are we?” Lu Jia’er asked.
Jin Xiangdong replied, “The underground basement of the biology research center!”
