Chapter 935 - 933: Something's Off with the Research Institute, There's a Problem

Sun Ning’s eyes turned slightly red as he spoke, looking emotionally charged. His affection for Wen Xin held no pretense; his faith that kept him alive was the hope that one day, he would stand by Wen Xin’s side and be able to help her.

Xiao Mi, watching Sun Ning’s emotional outburst, was at a loss for words for a moment. She raised her eyebrows at Sun Ning.

“My sister might not remember this very well, but you have to believe, if my sister allows you to stay by her side, then she certainly trusts you.”

“However, speaking of which, I have no idea how my sister ended up in the physics laboratory. It’s really quite unbelievable. I heard that ever since the accident in the laboratory, she has never set foot in a physics lab…”

Sun Ning didn’t show much surprise upon hearing that Wen Xin had gone to the physics laboratory. He wasn’t aware of the past events Wen Xin had experienced, and naturally, he didn’t know about the psychological barriers she faced.

Mu Chengxi had been waiting in the car for Wend Xin for about an hour, and Wen Xin didn’t emerge from the laboratory until then, followed by many people from inside who seemed reluctant to let her leave.

Wen Xin reached the doorway, turned around to look at the people following her, “I will make time to come back, but I have many things to take care of. Just send the data to my email, and I’ll analyze it as soon as possible.”

Ma Wenyuan looked at Wen Xin as if he wanted to say something but held back, simply waving at her goodbye instead.

He knew that for Wen Xin to enter the lab, she had already overcome a great personal barrier, so there was no need to press her further.

“Well, you all go ahead and get busy. I’ll send the data analysis to your email later. Once you’ve done the data analysis, just send it back to me…”

Then, Mu Chengxi got out of the car and walked over to Wen Xin’s side, wrapping his arm gently around her waist. He gave a slight nod to the people behind Ma Wenyuan without saying anything superfluous.

Wen Xin gripped Mu Chengxi’s hand, resting her head on his shoulder, “Let’s head to the Biological Laboratory, Sun Ning must still be waiting for us.”

Mu Chengxi responded softly and, holding Wen Xin, walked to the car. He opened the passenger door for her, let Wen Xin get in, then circled around to the driver’s seat and drove away.

Mu Chengxi stopped the car outside the Biological Laboratory. His hand held Wen Xin’s for a long time without letting go.

Wen Xin, with downcast eyes, gazed at their clasped hands, slowly lifting her head to look at Mu Chengxi and offering him a comforting smile.

“You don’t have to worry about me. Now that I can enter the lab, I am prepared mentally. Rest assured, I know my own limits.”

Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin and after a moment of hesitation, reached out to draw her into his embrace, his voice gentle as he spoke.

“You must remember, no matter when, you have me!”

Wen Xin rested her head on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder, responding in a muffled voice from his embrace, “I’ve always known I have you, and I trust that you will protect me! But some things must eventually be faced, you don’t need to worry about me, I am fine.”

Hearing Wen Xin repeatedly say that she was fine, Mu Chengxi relaxed a lot, slowly letting go of her hand.

“Let’s go up, Xiao Mi has been there for a long time. Not long after you entered the physics research institute, Xiao Mi came over. I told her to go directly to the Research Institute to find Sun Ning.”

Wen Xin was surprised to hear that Xiao Mi had already arrived, not expecting her to come so quickly.

“Then let’s head upstairs first,”

Wen Xin released Mu Chengxi’s hand, pushed open the car door, got out of the car, then walked to Mu Chengxi’s side, took his hand, and they walked into the Biological Laboratory together.

When she entered the laboratory, Wen Xin noticed that the Biological Laboratory seemed much busier than before. She stretched out her hand and grabbed a passerby, her eyes filled with a hint of curiosity.

“Has the research institute been this busy lately? Did you take on any new projects? Why does everyone seem so busy?”

The researcher grabbed by Wen Xin glanced at her, failed to recognize Wen Xin’s identity, and his eyes were full of disdain.

“The secret research of the research institute is none of your business. Who are you? This is not a place you can just walk into.”

With that, the researcher was about to call security.

Just as the researcher’s mobile phone was about to get through, Wen Xin held up an access card in front of the man, which clearly showed…

“Head of the Biological Research Institute: Wen Xin,” with Wen Xin’s photo unmistakably attached.

Each access card from the institute was specially processed, making it impossible for anyone to forge.

When the researcher saw the photo and text on Wen Xin’s access card, she was shocked and at a loss for words. It felt as though she recognized each word, but when put together, they seemed foreign to her.

Wen Xin hung up the phone from the researcher’s hand and then shook her access card in front of the researcher again, “Can you see the words clearly?”

Under Wen Xin’s pressure, the researcher reluctantly nodded. She couldn’t believe she was meeting the head of the research institute here.

“That… Miss… Wen…”

“You may address me as Miss Wen…”

This was the first time Wen Xin had called herself Miss Wen; she had never found the title appealing, but at that moment, it seemed fitting.

“Miss… Miss Wen… The research institute has indeed been…”

The researcher hadn’t finished speaking when a line of people in white lab coats hurried past. Wen Xin suddenly realized the situation might be serious. She grabbed the researcher’s arm and headed in the direction of the institute’s elevator, taking the researcher straight to Sun Ning’s laboratory.

In the elevator, the researcher initially tried to struggle, but Wen Xin quickly discerned her intentions and half-squinted her eyes at her.

“What now? Thinking of running away? Don’t forget, I’m in charge of the research institute now. Even if the director comes, she does what I say. In the end, you’ll still fall into my hands, unless you no longer wish to continue as a researcher,”

Wen Xin leaned nonchalantly against the wall of the elevator, her tone gently threatening the researcher. Wen Xin didn’t take the researcher seriously at all, sure she had a myriad of ways to make her speak the truth.

Having heard Wen Xin’s words, the researcher’s originally firm stance suddenly weakened. He looked at Wen Xin, seemingly convinced by her words, knowing he was just a minor player to Wen Xin, completely useless.
