A few minutes after they arrived on the first floor, they heard two very subtle gunshots. The people who were guarding them fell to the ground and it was unknown if they were dead or alive.
Bai Lin walked out from the shadows and arrived in front of them. Her equipment was neat and tidy. She untied them and began to remove the bomb on Bai Xi.
At that time, Fan Feng had his doubts. Bai Lin should still be upstairs, and all her equipment had been removed as soon as she entered the door.
There were no fighting sounds from above, so it was unlikely that Bai Lin had killed everyone before coming down.
However, the situation was urgent at the time, so Bai Lin asked them to leave. Fan Feng and the others did not have time to ask and just sent the injured Jin Ran and Zhou Guang for treatment.
Later, the production team said that it was safe. Fan Feng was so worried that he asked the production team to come back to look for Bai Lin. The others also followed him back to the hall.
Bai Lin happened to come out covered in blood and had a strong murderous aura. When Fan Feng and the others saw her, they were nailed to the ground and did not dare to move forward.
She was talking to someone on the phone. She glanced at them and said a few words before hanging up. She smiled, and the frozen feeling Fan Feng and the others felt disappeared.
Bai Lin told them to wait for a while before going in. Then she looked at the unconscious Bai Xi and smiled evilly.
Fan Feng did not understand, but looking at Lin-jie’s expression, he knew that she was having fun, so he did not say anything. The others also listened and waited outside obediently.
After that, it was Bai Xi waking up and what happened that followed.
According to what Fan Feng saw, Bai Lin’s journey was smooth, and she was always at ease.
However, that was not the case. In the circulating video, Bai Lin was treated inhumanely.
Fan Feng’s eyes turned red and he did not know what to say.
Bai Lin understood why he was upset and smiled indifferently. “Why are you crying? Isn’t your Lin-jie still fine? Besides, the simulation was only connected to my mobility, and the sense of pain was adjusted to the minimum. It didn’t hurt at all.”
Lin Sen adjusted his glasses and said in a low voice, “Even if it’s Huan Yu Technology, they can’t block 100% of the pain when connecting human senses. As far as I know, 50% is the limit.”
However, pain was nothing to Bai Lin. She did not have such a good life when she was a mercenary. Pain and death were real.
Most of the scars on her body had been cured with the medicine given by her master, but there were a few fatal and memorable ones that she still kept.
For example, the bullet scar on her back was the closest she had been to death. Ordinary people would have died, but she was tough. After half a month of pain, she was back alive and bouncing.
However, her identity was still hidden, and she could not use this logic to comfort these two kids who were still in a state of shock.
Bai Lin gave him a punch on the shoulder and pretended to be angry. “You know so much. Then why don’t you quickly get me some good food as a thank you gift? How long do you want me to starve for?”
Fan Feng blinked and held back his tears. He pulled Lin Sen and ran. “Lin-jie, you sit here first! We’ll be back immediately!”
As an investor, Huan Yu Group was indeed generous. They directly contracted the two floors of the five-star hotel and gave them all the accesses for this week. Even if they wanted to compete with the head chef backstage on a whim, they could do it.
Bai Lin looked at the time. There was still an hour to 6 p.m. It was a shocking night, and everyone’s minds were particularly clear. Other than the injured and Bai Xi who broke down, no one was sleeping.
Zhao Yuan and Bai Shao looked at Bai Lin from a distance, and their minds were filled with thoughts. In the end, they steeled their hearts and walked toward Bai Lin.
Zhao Yuan stood beside Bai Lin, her expression nervous and awkward. She pursed her lips and whispered, “Linlin…”
Bai Lin frowned. She looked as if she had just eaten a fly. “Don’t be like this. It’s disgusting.”
Zhao Yuan’s expression was ugly after being rebuked like this.
Bai Shao subconsciously felt like throwing a tantrum. How could she be so disrespectful to her mother? However, on second thought, Bai Lin had been mistreated by them for so many years, it was normal for her to have such an attitude. In the end, he felt more guilty than angry. He coughed and said unnaturally, “Jie.”
Bai Lin stared at the two of them as if she had seen a ghost. It made them a little uncomfortable, but they could only stand there awkwardly.
Bai Shao was purely feeling guilty, but Zhao Yuan had other considerations..
