The man stood against the light, the halo behind him making Qin Xin narrow her eyes, like a lazy cat.
She was used to coming and going alone, even when rescuing and fighting, she never thought about relying on a man’s strength, but designed and controlled the whole process herself.
But at this moment, when Nalan Ye Jue stood on the ruins and reached out to her in the underground passage, she still felt a rare warmth.
And tacit understanding.
With such a vast area of ruins, how did he dig a hole and end up right above her?
The man’s sixth sense is too strong.
Refusing his help seemed completely unreasonable.
She pursed her lips, not pretending to be coy, reached out her plain hand, and tightly grasped his large palm.
Her body was light, and with a lift from the man, another hand naturally held her slender waist, pulling her up and into his embrace.
The engineers watching from the side were dumbfounded.
What the hell... Their boss, Global Designer Association’s chairperson Si Daren, whom they always thought was as sharp and strong as any man, was actually carried by a man!
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime event, something to behold.
On the other side, Ao Xinghao and others, lying on temporary stretchers, held their breath, looking at the man in a wheelchair, feeling complicated.
Sister Xin’s brother.
Clearly, he could also be their brother, but why does the image of him holding Sister Xin stir a bit of jealousy in them?
Hu Yi: Am I knocked silly by the robot, actually feeling jealous of such a good brother?
Ao Xinghao: My premonition was indeed correct, this ’brother’ has impure intentions towards Sister Xin!
Huo Zhen slowly awakened, drowsily: A man holding Sister Xin suits her well, but I’m so weak, I don’t match with Sister Xin...
After everyone gradually came up, the fire in the passage was getting fiercer, breaking past the barricade, rushing toward the exit.
The bodyguard in black brought by Nalan Ye Jue requested instructions: "Young Master, should we let the firefighters come to extinguish the fire?"
Nalan Ye Jue pondered and asked Qin Xin’s opinion: "What do you think?"
It was the first time the bodyguards saw the president not making a direct decision but asking a woman’s opinion. They were astonished, but no one dared to show it.
Qin Xin shook her head: "Seal the exit, don’t extinguish it for now. Wait until it burns thoroughly."
The underground passage is intricate, still unknown how many things like robot number 0 are hidden; she wants these things to be completely destroyed.
Nalan Ye Jue relayed her decision verbatim: "Seal the exit, don’t extinguish it for now. Wait until it burns thoroughly."
The bodyguards suppressed their intense shock and quickly took action.
Qin Xin then glared at Nalan Ye Jue: "Didn’t I tell you to wait for me at home?"
Nalan Ye Jue curved his lips and said leisurely: "Wherever the heart is, there home is."
Qin Xin: "..." What kind of absurd response is this?
Engineers: "..." Wow, so that’s how you flirt with the boss, using such high-grade lines.
The three little ones: "..." So sour, so sour, like we’re hung from a lemon tree.
Qin Xin pursed her lips, feeling a bit embarrassed and hot-faced, changed the topic: "We found some special materials and human bones in the underground passage. The initial judgment is that they might be parts for making synthetic humanoid robots. We’ve brought some out, do you want to take a look?"
An engineer immediately handed over the extracted steel to Nalan Ye Jue for inspection.
Nalan Ye Jue pondered: "This material is exclusively used for aerospace technology. The Nalan Group once participated in the development of imperial space robots. I’ll compare the materials when I return. If they’re the same, then these materials are stolen from the national warehouse, an act of treason."
