Chapter 225: I Will Kill You (2/2)

Xia Zhi replied seriously, ”Of course it is to be your support in case those bunch of people bully you! Furthermore, another pair of eyes never hurt, I can help watch your back.”

Xinghe smiled. ”Do you seriously think they can bully me?”

”Sis, I know you're incredible but it's better to be safe than sorry. I guarantee certain parties will be up to something to prevent you from finishing your research.”

”You're right. Certain people will definitely come for me.”

”Sis, you already knew that? Do you know their plan as well‽” Xia Zhi asked excitedly. His sister was the brightest person he knew so of course she would see through their ploys.

Xinghe shook her head, ”Unfortunately, that I do not know, but I am sure they will do something to prevent my success.”

”That's why you need me there, to protect you.”

Xinghe didn't reject his offer, instead she said, ”There's no need to hurry. I'm not returning to the lab anytime soon. We'll let them believe they've won - for now.”

”Then, when will you return?”

”When all the preparation's finished.”

”Remember to bring me along!” Xia Zhi said with resolve. Xinghe reluctantly relented, ”Alright, I will. Now go to bed.”

Xia Zhi left the study happily after getting her permission. The questions brought up by Xia Zhi muddled Xinghe's mind so much so that she couldn't concentrate on her work anymore…

What will Yun Ruobing do to stop me?

…

Xinghe was absent from the lab the day after like she said.

Ruobing was relieved because she'd thought Xinghe would make her appearance.

However, she knew she couldn't let her guard down as, similar to her, Xinghe had a design of her own, she would make her appearance eventually.

Ruobing had to be ready because she needed to succeed before she could allow Xia Xinghe to even have the chance to do so.
