Her heart skipped a beat.
She ran towards the little purple figure.
Wooden boxes disappeared one by one behind her.
Mei Yuebai dealt with the last person, turning his head at the sound, his dark eyes turning slightly red.
Upon seeing Xu Qian, they calmed down.
His dark eyes returned to normal.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Qian's face was tense. "There's noise at the back door. We've probably been discovered. Let's leave."
"Okay."
The two quickly ran towards the front door, where heavy footsteps could also be heard.
Her face paled. The two could only hide behind a large piece of medical equipment.
With a "snap."
The back door was kicked open.
The middle-aged man outside took a look, and most of the medicine in the warehouse had vanished, while the two guards lay on the ground, their fate unknown.
The middle-aged man's face turned pale, feeling like it was the end.
Without hesitation, he pressed the emergency button beside him.
A loud alarm blared throughout the entire floor.
Soon, a group of men in black rushed into the warehouse.
The two watched the people coming and going inside calmly, but hiding like this was not a solution. Most of the medical supplies here had been collected by her into her space, and what remained were medical equipment, offering little room.
Mei Yuebai leaned to Xu Qian's ear, his voice very soft. "Can't you turn invisible? You go out first."
Her face darkened. Even if she left, she would still have to come back to save him.
Who told him he was the almighty mission target.
"Let's go together."
Mei Yuebai's expression froze, and his heart tightened.
"There are people in the laboratory!"
The men in black searching inside quickly spread out. Their superiors had ordered them to capture the culprits and retrieve the supplies, which was the priority.
The supplies on the 18th floor were all their company's reserves in G Province and absolutely could not be lost.
After they left, Xu Qian raised her hand and collected the remaining medical equipment, then ran towards the front door.
Mei Yuebai pulled Xu Qian down.
Xu Qian pulled Mei Yuebai down.
The two froze simultaneously.
Her calm, dark eyes showed no ripple. "I need to save them."
He frowned, his tone calm. "Most people have flooded to the 20th floor. With just the two of us, we have no chance of winning, and they won't be foolish enough to stay on the 19th floor."
"But I brought them out. I must be responsible for their lives."
Her voice was faint and deep, her expression calm and beautiful, making her words impossible to refuse.
Mei Yuebai looked at her expression and sighed helplessly. "Okay, even if we're going up, we need to change into clothes like theirs. We're too passive like this."
"Yes!"
The two waited behind the main entrance on the 18th floor. Among the men in black rushing upstairs, they grabbed two from the back, knocked them unconscious, and changed into their clothes, following the main group upstairs.
20th Floor.
A tense situation continued.
Over a dozen men in black held guns pointed at four people.
Gu Qing, Li Lili, and Cheng Liangze held guns, confronting them.
Huang Wen Kai was bound hand and foot and knelt on the ground. Cheng Liang Qing held a gun to his temple.
"Put down your guns, or I'll shoot him dead."
Xu Qian's eyelashes drooped slightly. She could see his hand trembling. Although he said that, he was a police officer and wouldn't actually kill someone.
The leader of the men in black narrowed his eyes and raised his hand, signaling the men behind him to lower their guns.
"Where is the other professor?"
Seeing more and more men in black, Cheng Liang Ze panicked. What should they do?
He shouted, "Let us go first, and I'll tell you where Professor Zhu is."
