Jiang Nuan held the steel rope tightly and jumped up fiercely, kicking Wang Ruizhe over from behind.
Wang Ruizhe not only failed to catch Mu Jiuchen but also fell face-first into the dirt.
"Ah..." he cried out in pain.
Jiang Nuan looked at his disheveled back, the corners of her lips curling into a mocking arc.
Mu Jiuchen and Han Yixuan quickly moved some distance away.
Han Yixuan was right; he really would be a burden to his wife.
After retreating to a safe distance, they watched the two battling it out not far away.
Mu Jiuchen's deep eyes were fixed on his wife.
Her beautiful, agile figure was like watching a wuxia movie.
Despite his confidence, Wang Ruizhe's strength was just brute force.
After several rounds of engagement, he was completely out of breath, while his wife, slender and graceful, stood sharp and steady nearby.
So cool!
Wang Ruizhe pulled off his face mask, revealing a pair of gloomy and sinister eyes.
He gazed coldly at Jiang Nuan, "Jiang Nuan, you are very powerful!"
He had underestimated Jiang Nuan.
Han Yixuan's words, "there's always someone better," were so true.
He had been too arrogant!
Jiang Nuan looked at him with her clear eyes, saying nothing. Her clean, bright eyes seemed capable of illuminating all the dirty corners of the world, leaving no evil hidden.
Seeing Jiang Nuan's eyes, Wang Ruizhe had this thought.
No wonder Xiao Fan fell for Jiang Nuan when he saw her photo.
Her eyes gave a sense of rebirth; her light was too brilliant.
So bright that he dared not look directly.
The face before him was exquisitely beautiful, her talent matching her looks perfectly!
"Heh heh... Jiang Nuan, you are truly a formidable opponent." Wang Ruizhe wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowly got up. He was old and couldn't withstand such exertion.
Since Jiang Nuan was so capable, he would unleash his experimental subjects to play with her.
In any case, they couldn't be allowed to escape today and ruin his future plans.
"Jiang Nuan, I'll let them out to play with you; you'll surely like it." Wang Ruizhe turned to press a switch.
Han Yixuan knew instantly that this was bad: "Old Mu, if these terrifying things are released, this world will be finished."
Mu Jiuchen looked at the massive glass jars, covered with heavy iron lids secured by chains.
They were very heavy, and only by activating the switch could the lids be moved.
Only then could the contents emerge.
Mu Jiuchen looked closely at the glass jars; behind each one was a switch.
As soon as it was pressed, the chains would slowly rise, pulling the lids up.
Mu Jiuchen said, "I'll go stop him."
Han Yixuan grabbed him, "Don't go. You can't beat him. Nuan Nuan understands us better. If you go, Nuan Nuan will have to be distracted taking care of you."
Mu Jiuchen's face darkened, and he remained silent.
Han Yixuan watched his eyes fixed on Jiang Nuan, gazing unblinkingly.
Han Yixuan smiled and asked, "Do you feel like we're quite useless, unable to protect the ones we love?"
Mu Jiuchen remained silent, admitting the truth of the statement.
Wang Ruizhe's hand was just about to reach the switch when
Jiang Nuan's steel rope, as if with eyes, struck the switch, breaking it before he could.
"Zzzt..." Sparks flew, and a burnt smell filled the air.
"Ah..." Wang Ruizhe frowned. Jiang Nuan was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
He continued to press another switch.
"Clack..." The entire underground laboratory suddenly plunged into darkness.
Mu Jiuchen had shut off the main power, so Nuan Nuan wouldn't have to waste energy stopping them one by one.
Fighting was tiring work, and he didn't want his wife to be exhausted.
"Ah..." Wang Ruizhe, in the darkness, was completely panicked.
"Who turned off the lights? Turn them back on quickly." Wang Ruizhe was not accustomed to darkness.
He hated the dark; it always made him feel so alone.
Everything he was doing now was to repay his hard work.
He was determined to become a scientist revered by the world.
Jiang Nuan looked at him, "Wang Ruizhe, what you are doing is against heaven's will, against the laws of nature. You are walking down an unnavigable path. You won't be revered by the world; you will only be infamously remembered."
In the darkness, Jiang Nuan's voice was clear and devoid of emotion.
Standing in the night, her back was straight, and a killing aura spread throughout her body. If she wished, she could charge forward on this battlefield without restraint, running rampant, with no one being her match.
"Jiang Nuan, why don't we cooperate? Let everyone in this world admire us, and let this world become our domain. Give me three more years, and I can complete all the experiments and shock the world." Wang Ruizhe was still lost in his daydreams.
This research was not yet successful.
It was his most outstanding research.
He didn't want anyone to know about his scientific achievements.
During this period, he had sent away all other staff, leaving him alone here.
Little did he know that his actions were discovered by Han Yifan, which is why he was defeated so miserably today and everything was ruined.
Although Han Yifan was multifaceted, he still had a kind heart. He couldn't bring himself to personally kill his father.
He could only use Jiang Nuan and his brother's identities to bring his father to justice.
Meanwhile, Wang Ruizhe was rapidly thinking of countermeasures. Now that the switch was turned off, there was no way to release the creatures here.
He had no way to deal with Jiang Nuan.
He always understood one principle: even the strongest person has a weakness.
Although he possessed immense strength, it could only last for a limited time. His unmethodical punches were the most foolish brute force.
"Wang Ruizhe, you're probably overthinking things."
Wang Ruizhe only heard a cold voice approaching.
Then he felt a sharp pain in his back.
By the time he reacted, he had already fallen to the ground.
In the darkness, Jiang Nuan could see him clearly and quickly used the steel rope to bind his hands and feet.
Then, relying on her sense of direction, she called out towards Mu Jiuchen's location: "Husband, turn on the lights."
Hearing the clear, familiar voice, Mu Jiuchen's heart relaxed, and he then turned on the lights.
Wang Ruizhe was tied up securely. Han Yixuan had brought people to ambush outside.
He called to inform them to come in.
At this moment, Han Yifan walked out of the laboratory.
He left with a detached expression, as if he didn't recognize anyone there.
"Xiao Fan." Han Yixuan looked at his younger brother with concern. He seemed to have gotten even thinner.
Han Yifan remained expressionless, his face devoid of emotion, and walked out following his memory.
Jiang Nuan grabbed Wang Ruizhe and saw several red lights flashing on the wall not far away.
Jiang Nuan suddenly thought of something and dragged Wang Ruizhe out: "Quick, get out of here. There are automatic explosive devices here."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ruizhe closed his eyes in despair.
Before he could arrogantly say: let's die here together.
Jiang Nuan had already discovered the bomb.
Why was he so unlucky?
Mu Jiuchen dragged Han Yixuan and rushed out.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
The sounds grew more urgent.
The aura of death washed over them.
Mu Jiuchen kept looking back at his wife.
She was dragging Wang Ruizhe and running, her face not flushed, her heart not skipping a beat.
He still hadn't fully understood his wife.
As Han Yifan went out, he instinctively tried to close the door.
Seeing this, Jiang Nuan shouted, "Han Yifan, you can't close the door."
