Chapter 758: The Past

Su Lun and Su Ruohua had been brought here for a tour. Su Huiqing could not find them, but she had to make time to settle a few matters. However, when she reached her personal studio in the building, the person guarding outside hesitated.

“What?” Su Huiqing stopped in her tracks.

“No… nothing…” The guard hesitated for a moment before glancing at the office door. In the end, he didn’t say anything and hurriedly left.

She could tell that his footsteps were a little messy.

Su Huiqing touched her chin and pushed open the door. She was about to get someone to stop that guard when she saw a familiar figure.

“Why are you here?” Upon seeing the figure, Su Huiqing was stunned first before reacting.

Instantly, she didn’t get anyone to stop that guard anymore. Inside the door, a cold figure was sitting on a chair and facing her. However, the person had his head down and was looking at something. She couldn’t see his face clearly, only the general outline.

Yu Shijin only looked up when he heard her voice. He pursed his lips and remained silent.

However, Su Huiqing could clearly feel that his eyes were darker than before. He didn’t look very happy, and the cold glint reflected by the sunlight made her squint involuntarily.

She only heard the other party’s cold voice. “Do you know that Jun Ke?”

Su Huiqing thought for a few seconds, wondering why Yu Shijin suddenly came here. When she suddenly heard his question, she didn’t react for a long time and only looked up at him. “It’s okay.”

No emotions could be seen on her face.

“How much do you remember?” Yu Shijin took a deep breath.

Su Huiqing smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. “No more, no less.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Shijin knew that she should have remembered quite a bit. He was deep in thought and didn’t know what to say. He just reached out and lit a cigarette. The smoke swirled out, and his eyes were dark and cold.

Su Huiqing didn’t stop him this time. She just leaned against the door with a calm expression.

“I remember there were two explosives.” After a moment, Yu Shijin’s voice finally sounded. “Why were you the last one?”

Su Huiqing didn’t answer immediately. She just walked to the table and took the cigarette from his hand. She extinguished it and threw it aside. Her movements were smooth. “Just like that.”

However, she clenched her fists tightly.

“Alright, you can do it.” Yu Shijin raised his head, and Su Huiqing could see the bloodlust in his eyes.

After interacting with Yu Shijin for a long time, she roughly knew that this person usually looked cold, but he rarely got angry. Right now, she could clearly see the coldness on his face.

“Back then… she took one to save her brother.” Su Huiqing pursed her lips and didn’t look at Yu Shijin. She felt lucky that she went to Old Master Zhuge’s place this year. Otherwise, she didn’t know how to calm down those memories.

Some memories were unforgettable. Su Huiqing’s gaze started to blur. “You still remember my code name, right? Back then, when you went to the island with the people overseas, I was already secretly creating heat weapons. The only thing I lacked was a key to get out. In the end, you guys opened the door.”

Yu Shijin’s fingers tightened slightly. He glanced at Su Huiqing, but he could not see the light in her eyes.

“I was very grateful to you guys.” Su Huiqing chuckled. “Very grateful. That was the first time I saw the light in more than ten years.”

How much influence did those ten years have on her? It was so great that she forgot everything on the island and even forgot how to get out. However, she could not forget how she lived every day as an experimental subject.

Every day, she lived in despair that ordinary people could not understand. However, she was Su Huiqing. She was someone who had been abandoned by her family since she was born. If she even gave up on herself, what was the point of holding on for more than ten years?

Angie had only stayed in the laboratory for a few years and had suffered less than 1% of what she had. However, in the end, Angie still couldn’t beat the torture and committed suicide.

Jun Ke was the first friend she knew. Jun Ke came here to train there with Yu Shijin and the rest, but she didn’t expect to be caught alone by the experimental subjects. The sunny Jun Ke made Su Huiqing lower her guard. In the end, Yu Shijin and the rest broke through the defense and saved the two of them.

The experiment on the island was very realistic. No one overseas would save them. Yu Shijin and the rest’s actions had angered the people behind the laboratory, especially for taking Su Huiqing—this outstanding experimental subject. Thus, a large group of experts caught up with them.

In the end, she and Jun Ke were still surrounded. Su Huiqing was still awake at that time. She had two heat weapons in her hands, enough to let them leave safely.

However, no one expected the boss of the laboratory to only ask Jun Ke: “Are you very familiar with Number 15?”

At that time, Su Huiqing didn’t look at Jun Ke. She just thought that Jun Ke should know how to answer what was best for the two of them. However, she didn’t expect Jun Ke to take away the heat weapon from her body and leave.
