Chapter 795: Chapter 794: About to Faint from Hunger, Can I Have So Food?
“I’m sorry, it was your master who was negligent… But knowing that you’re safe, and being able to see you again, your master is completely content!”
“However, looking back, what exactly happened that year?”
Qian Ye and Sa Ning both had many questions they wanted to ask Wen Xin. After they received the news that year, they had quickly evacuated from the laboratory, and since then, there had been no information about their master.
Wen Xin, seeing their eagerness to know what had actually happened back then, let out a faint sigh, sat down on a chair nearby, and hung her head, sowhat unsure where to start.
After about five minutes of silence, Sa Ning and Qian Ye continued to stare intently at Wen Xin, afraid to miss even the slightest expression on her face.
Wen Xin lifted her head and saw the two still looking straight at her; she began to speak slowly.
“Actually, I only figured out part of what happened that year; I’ll tell you as much as I know.”
Wen Xin recounted everything bit by bit—including the capture and death of Tan Xingyue’s father, Aiden’s betrayal, and the car accident of her parents.
By the end, the expressions on Sa Ning and Qian Ye’s faces grew more and more grim. They had never imagined that the brothers they had lived and worked with could beco their greatest danger.
“So the truth behind the events was like this… After you left, many things happened in Beijing too.”
Sa Ning looked at Wen Xin’s solemn face, furrowed his brows, and started speaking in a hushed, gentle tone, “After our master and madam left, housekeepers hurried over and told us that Miss Wen you were missing.”
“Later, we sent many people out to search for you. By the ti we got back, we found only Wen Huai lying in the rocking chair, and Wen Xue was no longer at ho.”
“In one day, we lost both our Miss and the second young miss, for us it’s an unforgivable failure…”
“While we were discussing ways to find you and the second young miss, soone ca with a ssage saying that the master and madam wanted us to take the research data and leave the laboratory.”
“At that mont, we felt sothing was off but didn’t think too much about it. We guessed that maybe sothing had happened to the master while he was visiting Chief Tan, which made it inconvenient for him to contact us directly, so he had the ssage relayed.”
“When we had organized the research data, another ssage arrived, saying that the master and madam had had an accident.”
“Before we could recover from the shock of the master’s accident, the laboratory was stord by many people in black, attempting to seize the laboratory’s research data. In order to protect the data, I escaped from the research institute with Qian ng, who had been knocked unconscious.”
“After I left the research institute, I notified the ancient martial arts family, and it was they who rescued the lab technicians. They also helped us and the research data to escape Beijing and settle down in Ancient Martial Town.”
“When the situation settled down and the news of our master and madam’s accidents was confird, we could only stay here, never leaving.”
Sa Ning’s eyes were full of guilt as he looked at Wen Xin, knowing that he should not have given up searching for her. However, to protect the important research data, he had still given up on the search.
At that ti, he had only one conviction, that if Miss Wen was still alive, Ma Wenyuan, who took over the laboratory, would surely protect Miss Wen, and all he needed to do was fulfill his own duties.
“Miss Wen, I’m sorry, we considered leaving Ancient Martial Town to search for you, but we were afraid of exposing our whereabouts and having the lab’s crucial data stolen. So, we used a signal jamr to block all signals to and from Ancient Martial Town, ensuring no one could find us.”
“We didn’t know who was trying to steal the data, but we did know that the lab’s data couldn’t fall into their hands. Thus, we had no choice but to stand guard here.”
Wen Xin didn’t know what the data they referred to was, but she could imagine how cutting-edge her father’s experints had been, and understood why the people of Independent State would even kill her father to get the data.
“It is I who should thank you for protecting the research data. You can rest assured that you can leave here with and return to the laboratory. I will conceal your whereabouts and ensure the safety of you and the laboratory.”
“The laboratory now uses the BO 10th generation security system, a system that not even the top hackers from the Hacker Alliance can breach. You can be completely at ease about that.”
Hearing that the outside world had advanced to such an extent, Sa Ning and Qian Ye exchanged a glance. They began to worry if, after fifteen years of isolation, they could still adapt to life on the outside.
Seeing the look on their faces, Wen Xin could guess their concerns and gave them a faint smile.
“Don’t worry. Even five years from now, your designs won’t be outdated. Even the technology of Independent State is still stuck fifteen years in the past; now you should understand how significant your impact on Independent State has been, right?”
Wen Xin wasn’t rely offering consolation to Qian Ye and Sa Ning; she was stating the truth. Independent State was so eager to progress because, over the past fifteen years, the entire world had advanced, while Independent State remained static.
They urgently needed to solidify their standing, so they began taking unconventional approaches. If they couldn’t advance themselves, they would make other countries retreat, which was their recent objective.
“Little princess, what have you been up to lately? We heard that you’ve taken over both the physics and biological laboratories?”
“It’s not exactly taking over; it was just through so special circumstances that my identity got revealed. So, I just followed so procedures. The real person in charge of the physics research institute is still Ma Wenyuan, and as for the Biological Laboratory, there’s a long story to tell. I’ll take care of it when I have more free ti!”
Wen Xin felt a headache starting as she thought about the complex issues at the Biological Laboratory—it would probably take a while to completely control it.
After all, it had been under Independent State’s control for too long, and reclaiming it wouldn’t be easy.
“Alright, let’s not talk about these unimportant matters now. I’m only concerned about whether you can get us sothing to eat.”
“I’ve had only breakfast today, not even a sip of water.”
“Qian ng told in the car that as soon as we got to Ancient Martial Town, we’d have sothing to eat. Who knew that not only would there be nothing to eat here, but also a waste of energy—I’m really starving!”
Wen Xin lazily sat in the chair, looking as if she was about to faint from hunger. Mu Chengxi walked over to Wen Xin with concern, gently pinched her cheek, took a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it, and held it to Wen Xin’s mouth, letting her bite down on it.
