Just as everyone was left speechless and at a loss, suddenly, the machines collectively emitted a buzzing interrogation:
"Where is Qin Xin? Hand her over!"
Everyone’s hearts trembled.
Miss Qin?
The woman about to marry Young Master?
Their future Mistress of the House?
What do these monsters want with Miss Qin?
For a moment, no one answered.
How could they betray Mr. Emperor’s woman?
The machines waited for a minute, not receiving the desired response, letting out a cold snort: "Stupid humans, sacrificing your lives for others is the dumbest behavior. If so, I’ll go one by one."
First, a saw machine suddenly swept its sharp electric saw towards the old butler.
The elderly gentleman, shaking, closed his eyes: "Then take my life. Even if I’m to die, I don’t want to be a disloyal person."
From behind the old butler, Lu Yi dashed out, holding an electric drill, blocking in front: "I know where Miss Qin is!"
The saw machine’s electric saw halted above his head, its voice deep: "Speak."
Lu Yi let out a sneer: "I know, but, I refuse to tell you!"
Saying this, he seized the few seconds he had earned and wielded the electric drill in his hand, charging at the saw machine, frantically drilling towards the engine area.
At the same time, he shouted behind him: "Hurry, retreat now, brothers, scatter!"
The saw machine, fooled thoroughly, seemed to angrily roar just like a human: "Die! How dare you deceive me!"
Lu Yi’s drilling speed couldn’t compete with the saw machine’s speed, and he was sent flying by the rapidly spinning saw, smashing through the window, his body flying out.
The machines swarmed in, causing chaos indoors, chasing the maids and bodyguards who were utterly powerless at this moment. In front of the massive machines, mere human flesh was indeed no match.
The entire hall echoed with screams rising and falling.
"Are you really opposing me for a woman? What’s the significance of keeping silent for her? Stupid!"

Asylum.
Wu Zhiming, who was sound asleep, was shaken awake from his dreams: "Get up."
Wu Zhiming, groggy-eyed: "Don’t want to. Working during the day wore me out, I want to dream a bit..."
Qin Xin sneered: "You still have the face to dream? Your daughter was made into a robot by you, and now she is attacked by machines, her heart exploded, the heart transplant failed, she is on the verge of losing her life!"
Wu Zhiming instantly snapped awake: "My daughter... Xiangxiang, my daughter..."
Ever since Qin Xin found the toxic plant that anesthetized nerves in Wu Zhiming’s room and cleared it out, Wu Zhiming’s speech improved significantly, he even remembered he had a daughter.
Qin Xin swiped open her phone screen, showing him the heart transplant procedure of Xiangxiang.
Of course, she cut out the successful surgery footage and edited in the earlier bleeding scenes.
Watching, Wu Zhiming’s eyes burst with hints of blood around the edges, the grief in his eyes drastically different from a typical mentally ill patient: "Xiangxiang, you say Xiangxiang is dying? No, I need to fix her chip, how could this happen, I used the best chip, I wanted her to live for a hundred years, her health was poor since she was young, her mother died early, I only have her, I want her to live long, I want to replace her with the best chip, I can work and earn money, I can help you repair robots, I can do anything, I’m willing to work for you..."
He sprang up from bed, rushing towards the door.
His urgency was genuine, as was his concern.
