Chapter 1127: –Dropped!

One person.

One person had infiltrated the highly secured research center.

How is this possible? Zhong Lizhen thought a team had come to rescue her.

Zhong Lizhen does not believe Dong Xuebing. “How did you come in?”

“I got my ways.” Dong Xuebing looked at her. “Let's get out of this place.”

Zhong Lizhen replied. “Wait a minute. I need some tools to unlock the fingerprint lock. I need to dismantle a few devices.”

They were the only ones left in the isolation room. David is dead and lying in a pool of blood.

Dong Xuebing replied. “Don't need to be so troublesome. Just call the people outside to open it.”

Zhong Lizhen frowned. “Although they don't know David is dead, there will be at least one soldier outside when they open the door.”

“It's fine as long the door is opened.”

“You are alone. How are we going to get past them? This is impossible.”

“We will face them when we get out. It's the same.”

“No. It's too risky. Let me get the tools and components to open the door first.”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. “You don't need to do this.”

“Listen to me.” Zhong Lizhen firmly replied.

“Professor Zhong.” Dong Xuebing said.

Zhong Lizhen ignored him and walked to an electronic device. She dismantled it quickly and took out a few components.

Dong Xuebing did not say anything. Sigh…. Zhong Lizhen is stubborn and does not listen to others. However, this is not a surprise. If she is flexible, she would not be held captive here. She can pretend to submit to them and find a way to escape. However, she did not. She only requested to leave through the proper channels. Maybe this was because she had been doing research and reading data. That's why she does not know how to lie.

Wait….

Dong Xuebing was okay with it.

A few minutes passed.

Zhong Lizhen finally removed the last component and walked to the digital lock. She opened the casing and started to meddle with the wires.

Dong Xuebing does not know about electronics. He stood there and watched Zhong Lizhen work on the lock. He noticed she was looking pale.

A few moments later.

Zhong Lizhen turned. “It's done.”

Dong Xuebing was surprised. “So fast?”

“I participated in the designs and technologies of many devices here. It's not that difficult to unlock the door.” Zhong Lizhen became paler as she was talking.

“What's wrong?” Dong Xuebing asked.

Zhong Lizhen replied. “I am fine.”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Can we go out now? Are you ready?”

Zhong Lizhen nodded. She pulled out the last wire and suddenly paused. She turned to her side and puked.

Dong Xuebing was surprised and slapped his forehead. Zhong Lizhen has been holding it in since just now. David's death had shocked her. He walked over and dragged David's body under the meeting table. He had killed many criminals over the years and was used to it. However, this was the first time she saw a dead body. Dong Xuebing walked over and patted her back lightly.

Zhong Lizhen supported herself against the wall and continued to puke.

She was wearing a white gown, black heels, and stockings.

Three minutes later.

Zhong Lizhen had emptied her stomach.

Dong Xuebing continued to stroke her back to make her feel better.

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing felt something on her back. It was her bra strap. He paused for a second and continued to stroke her back. He helped her turn away from David's body and that puddle of blood.

Zhong Lizhen turned her upper body, and a soft click sounded. Dong Xuebing did not hear it, but she noticed it. She quickly held her hands against her chest.

“Huh?” Dong Xuebing asked. “Are you still feeling terrible?”

Zhong Lizhen did not reply. She pursed her lips and stopped puking.

“Professor Zhong.” Dong Xuebing continued her stroke her back.

When he touched her back, he noticed her back was smooth, and he could not feel her bra strap.

Dong Xuebing immediately understood what had happened.

I had accidentally unclasped her bra.

Dong Xuebing was sweating and dared not touch her back again.

Sigh…. Why is this happening?

“Sorry, Professor Zhong.” Dong Xuebing quickly apologized.

Zhong Lizhen pressed on her chest and straightened her back. She was still pale and looked weak. After all, she had emptied her stomach.

“Have some water.” Dong Xuebing took a bottle of mineral water from the table.

Zhong Lizhen rinsed her mouth before drinking.

Dong Xuebing continued. “I will turn around while you adjust your clothes. After that, we will go out.

Zhong Lizhen nodded. She did not look embarrassed. “Sorry to embarrass myself.”

“Don't say that. It's my fault.” Dong Xuebing turned and walked to a corner to reload his gun.

Dong Xuebing could hear clothes rustling behind him.

“Are you going to kill when we leave this room?” Zhong Lizhen asked.

Dong Xuebing replied without turning. “It will be difficult to escape if I don't kill.”

“We will attract more soldiers if you open fire. We should try to get out secretly without anyone noticing. You are alone and do not have any backups. I am familiar with this place, and we might be able to escape quietly.”

“I cannot promise you.”

“Do you want to escalate this into an international dispute?”

Zhong Lizhen was still adjusting her clothes.

“The US will not release to the public, so it's fine. Furthermore, the dispute had started, and it was pointless to try to stop anything now. My only mission is to bring you back safely, and I don't care about the rest.”

“Which military unit are you from?”

“I am not from any units.”

“Then why did you risk your life to rescue me? Are you doing this for the nation?”

“Not really. Someone asked me for help. My mission is to bring you back safely, and I don't care or want to get involved in anything else.”

“You mentioned Xiao Huilan earlier. Did she ask you to save me?”

“I will tell you when we get home safely.”

“I hope so. If we can escape from here, will people assist us at the airport? Are we going back by sea?”

“No one is assisting us. I came alone. It will be only the both of us when we return.”

“You are Xiao Dong, right? You opened fire just now outside, right? We are going to be killed if we are caught. You don't need to hide anything from me. I might not know about combat, but one person can't infiltrate this place. Many soldiers guard this place. How did you enter unnoticed? Are you trying to protect your comrades? That's no need for that. You should tell me where your people are stationed outside for me to plan our escape route. This will increase our chances of escaping. I know the layout here better than you.”

Dong Xuebing smiled wearily. “I am alone, and that's enough. Having more people will slow us down.”

“You are young but boastful.”

“I am telling you the truth.”

“Fine. I will treat you as alone.”

“I am alone and don't hope for anyone to assist us outside. It's impossible. Oh, one more thing. We are not escaping. I don't like this word. We will be walking out with our heads held high.”

“Thank you.”

“Don't worry. I will not let you get hurt as long as I am alive. Err…. Are you ready?”

“Yes.”

“I am turning around now.”

“Ok.”

Dong Xuebing turned. Zhong Lizhen was still in her white gown, and one of her pockets was bulging. A black strap with a metal clip was hanging out from it.

Zhong Lizhen's bra clip was broken.

Dong Xuebing did not ask and pretended not to see it.

Black….

Most mature women like to wear a black bras.
