Chapter 171 Can't Get Out Alive



Chapter 171 Can't Get Out Alive

"You can speak up if you want. You can tell the truth to the world."

"But if you still treat me as the sister you grew up with, then I will ask you one last time."

"Keep this secret for me."

Huo Wanqing opened the door and left without looking back.

Jin Yingming looked at her leaving back and felt deeply moved.

They didn't know when it started, but countless forks in the road appeared on the path they had originally been traveling together.

But Huo Wanqing chose a different direction from them and went on alone.

Moreover, Huo Wanqing was right, he did not reveal the fact that Evelin had been locked up in the research institute for three years, so he was not a good person either.

He is also responsible for shielding Huo Wanqing, who has become what she is today.

That year, after the research institute was bombed, Huo Youshan was in an extremely dark state.

She felt suffocated by the cautious attitude that Huo Anzhi and Huo Wanqing showed her every day, so she found Jin Yingming.

She told Jin Yingming that she was in great torment. She clearly loved Qiao Yi, but she teamed up with Huo Wanqing to send Evelin to the research institute to torture her.

This ideological struggle was in her mind day and night, and she could not relax for a moment.

There is no way to tell it to outsiders.

Only Jin Yingming, who grew up with her and was like a brother to her, could make her feel at ease to speak.

Moreover, she begged Jin Yingming to keep this secret, as she did not want her sister's terribleness to be known to the world.

"I know my sister did all this for me, and she had no other choice but to take this path."

"She's devoted to me so wholeheartedly, so I don't want her to be despised by the world. My sister cares most about her reputation..."

"So Brother Yingming, can you help me keep this secret? Don't tell the Lan family, and don't mention it to anyone else."

"Even my second brother doesn't know either."

Huo Youshan grabbed Jin Yingming's arm and looked at her nervously with wide eyes.

Looking at her pitiful and haggard appearance, Jin Yingming was shocked and angry, but he couldn't say no.

"I promise you."

Jin Yingming sighed deeply and faded away from his memories.

Since Huo Youshan has realized his mistake, he confessed to Evelyn that he conducted the live experiment in order to atone for his sins.

Then she wouldn't want Evelin to be misunderstood as her murderer.

She would also want to make public everything that Evelyn had suffered.

Give Evelyn justice and innocence.

Since she couldn't speak, he would do all this for Huo Youshan.

This can be considered as a kind of compensation for having once fanned the flames and covered up Huo Wanqing's evil deeds.

Jin Yingming picked up the laptop and was about to open the door, but he couldn't open it no matter what he did.

"Who's out there!"

"Open the door!"

Alarm bells immediately rang in Jin Yingming's mind. Could it be that he was attacked by surprise?

"What's your answer?"

Suddenly, Huo Wanqing's voice came.

She didn't leave. Instead, she went to the nearby wall to get the ward key and locked Jin Yingming up.

"Sister Wanwan, it's not too late to turn back. We will all help you."

Jin Yingming breathed a sigh of relief and didn't think that Huo Wanqing would do anything to him.

Perhaps, Jin Yingming still felt that there was always some kindness in Huo Wanqing's heart.

"Is this your last choice?"

Huo Wanqing outside the ward had a blank expression on her face, as if she had anticipated the outcome.

"I've already missed it once, I can't be dumb again."

"Anzhi and I will help you. Even if you tell the truth, we will not let the Lan family hurt you."

"As long as you sincerely repent and apologize, everything will pass and be fine."

Huo Wanqing smiled sarcastically as she listened to Jin Yingming's chattering from the other side of the door.

She couldn't hear a word they said; it was all a joke to her.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the foundation of the research institute shook. Then a huge alarm sounded, followed by the sound of countless footsteps.

Huo Wanqing looked around in panic, and then there was another earthquake, and Huo Wanqing fell onto the windowsill next to her.

She struggled to get up, holding her head, but saw dark clouds outside the window.

Fighter planes came one after another, and a black mass hovered over the entire research institute.

"Sister Wanwan, what's going on?!"

"Open the door quickly!!"

Jin Yingming in the ward knocked on the door anxiously. He thought Huo Wanqing was in danger.

Huo Wanqing quickly took out the key and stumbled to the door of the ward.

But the moment the key was inserted into the keyhole, Huo Wanqing stopped moving.

She looked up at the door, as if she saw Jin Yingming knocking anxiously from inside.

Afterwards, Huo Wanqing looked out the window again and finally pulled out the key.

"I'm sorry, Yingming."

"You chose to stand against me. I can't let you walk out of here alive."

"Good night."

Huo Wanqing's eyes were moist, tears rolled down her cheeks one after another, and she spoke with a choked voice.

Jin Yingming, who was knocking on the door, stopped what he was doing completely after hearing Huo Wanqing's voice.

Listening to her resolute words and the sound of her departing footsteps, Jin Yingming finally understood.

Huo Wanqing is no longer herself at all.

Huo Wanqing ran in the corridor crying and threw all the keys in her hand out of the window.

In an instant, the place where the key fell was blown up by the enemy's ammunition.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, and her tears were like a river that would never dry up.

But the boulder in her heart fell, and another obstacle on the road was completely cleared.

"Sister! Sister! Where are you?!"

Huo Anzhi's anxious voice came from afar. Huo Wanqing's expression changed and she ran towards Huo Anzhi.

"Anzhi! I'm here!"

When the two met, Huo Wanqing saw Huo Anzhi holding a gun with a stern expression, and she couldn't help but have a bad feeling in her heart.

"Where's Yingming? Why are you alone?"

Huo Anzhi glanced around, fearing that the enemy might suddenly appear.

"Just now there was a sudden bomb, Yingming protected me..."

Huo Wanqing cried incessantly, and her heartbroken look did not arouse the slightest suspicion from Huo Anzhi.

With red eyes, he looked towards the direction of the ward, observed a three-second silence for his close friend of many years, then pulled Huo Wanqing and ran away.

"What happened?"

Huo Wanqing hadn't come to her senses yet and was forced to quicken her pace while asking questions.

"I'm not sure either, it seems like the enemy's bombing force has launched a surprise attack, and we must evacuate now!"

Huo Anzhi took Huo Wanqing to avoid falling rocks and bombs, explaining without looking back.

"Friendly!"

"She can't be left here alone!"

When Huo Wanqing heard this, she cursed Ares from head to toe in her heart.

He had a plan to attack the research base, but he didn't even inform her when they talked on the phone!
