Chapter 231 - Sleep? Can I?

Walking out of the laboratory, Shein did not take the previous route instead he followed the map he had looked at in the hacker's room and walked to the other side where there was a special lift for the professor. Without giving a chance for the guards to take action, he shot them swiftly and walked inside before taking them back to the surface.

With a ding, the elevator door opened and Shein walked out hurriedly without paying much attention to the surrounding. But just as he took a step, a ferocious kick was aimed right at his heart.

using his quick reflex, Shein moved but could not evade him completely. thankfully, he had moved swiftly and dodged from being kicked to his heart.

With a frown, Shein looked up only to see the old man who was previously called as 'boss' looking at her maliciously.

Not giving a moment for Shein, the old man once again attacked and aimed at his vital points.

Though Shein was a good fighter and could easily deal with this old man, because of the heavy cylinder and the little boy in her arms, her movements were restricted and she could not fight back, afraid of hurting the little boy.

Dodging the old man's moves hurriedly, Shein observed his moves carefully for a few seconds. The moment she caught his weak point, she kicked him at his vulnerable point, sending him a few meters away.

Taking the chance when the old man had fallen down, Shein turned to Sheena and passed the little guy in her arms gently and said "Please look after him for me"

Releasing the heavy cylinder from his back, afraid of disrupting the flow of oxygen, he turned to the old man and attacked him without any mercy.

if it was some other time, Shein would have taken the old man as his punching back but now, he did not dare to waste even a single moment and dealt with the old man without considering his age and life.

After a few more moves, the old man no longer had any strength left and spit out a mouthful of blood. Not giving a moment for the old man to breathe, Shein held his neck and said "Don't look"

understanding his words, Sheena hurriedly forced her three children to close their eyes. All they could hear was a crack followed by deep silence.

Throwing the old man away, Shein stepped forward and tied the cylinder again before taking the kid back into her arms and said "Thank you...let's go"

Turning around, he carried the little kid as well as the heavy cylinder and walked out of Aunty Bo's home.

The moment they stepped out, Sheena realized that the whole village was empty. Before she could ask what happened, a series of footsteps was heard.

Lifting her head, she saw HK rushing along with a group of officers who were dressed in black. The moment those officers saw Shein, they stomped their foot uniformly and saluted "Sir"

Seeing Shein carry a child, HK frowned and asked "What happened?"

Not pausing on her steps, Shein walked past HK while saying "Transfer them to a safe place"

"Okay"

Without looking around, he walked to the empty ground hurriedly where a medical helicopter was waiting for him.

the moment Doctor Fei saw Shein, he stepped forward and asked in shock "Who is this kid?"

Walking past him, Shein placed the kid on the stretcher and said coldly "It's not time to speak about these things. Save him, the rest can wait"

Seeing Shein's grave look, Doctor Fei realized the seriousness of the situation.

Without speaking a word, he signaled his assistant to take him inside the helicopter before turning to Shein to say "I will try my best"

"Mmm"

"then I'll take my leave now"

With that said, he hoped into the helicopter. Before the takeoff, he checked the child's situation seriously. Initially, he had planned to take him to their base outside the country but the moment he checked the child's condition, he realized the kid did not have much time left.

without any hesitation, he changed his plan and asked the pilot to take them to city A hospital. On the way, he informed his medical team who were within the city to assemble in the City A hospital in few minutes.

Without further delay, the pilot took off and took them to the hospital as fast as he could.

Seeing the helicopter fly off, Shein inhaled a deep breath before he turned around and made his way to the village.

because this was a highly confidential case, taking Sheena and her family's security into consideration, HK eliminated their name from the record and only took in their confession. Just as he was making arrangements for the family, Shein walked in unhurriedly and said "You don't have to make any arrangements for them. I'll take care of them"

"Will you? then okay" Knowing him well, HK did not think much and let Shein take care of the family while he gave some orders to the guards.

Watching HK leave, Shein turned to the two little kids who were quivering in fear and sighed.

Taking out her phone, she dialed a number and gave some order before turning to Sheena "Please rest assured, I'll assure you of your safety. Soon my men will escort you to a safer place. As this incident might affect them psychologically, I have arranged for a psychologist who will erase this memory from their mind. You can rest assured that your children will live a carefree life"

"mmm"

nodding her head, Sheena looked at the three children and sighed.

Once everything was done, the team packed up and left the village. The moment their car left the village, Shein pressed a button, blasting the whole village including the base. Those working inside the laboratory did not even have a clue of their impending death and were simply blasted inside the laboratory. Even if they had a clue they could nothing as the entry and exit routes for the base were closed by Shein's people. Neither could they ask for reinforcement or help since the signal was blocked.

Watching the once lively village now burning in the fire, HK sighed helplessly before turning to look at Shein who lifeless.

Shein usually looked cold but his eyes were always bright but at the moment his eyes looked dull and listless. From the moment he walked out carrying the kid, HK felt that something was wrong with him. Furrowing his brows. HK turned to Shein and asked "Sia...are you alright?"

HK had long since known about her gender and identity. After facing life and death together several times, the two were bound by friendship and knew about each other's secret partially. Though HK did not know about Sia's other identity, he knew she was a daughter of a wealthy family and had another powerful identity.

As there were only the two of them inside the car, Sia did not bother to hide and replied expressionlessly "Am I?"

Not knowing what was wrong, HK sighed lightly and said "It will take another two hours to reach your school. Meanwhile, you can have some rest since you haven't slept properly for a few days"

"Sleep?" 'can I?' Sia thought with a bitter smile.

Leaning her head against the seat, Sia looked outside the window blankly...
