Chapter 138 The Princess Carry
The synthesis method of Tricloramlin was developed and perfected by Lin Aoxue and several veteran experts from the Bikang research group. It was not only the hope of the entire corporation but also represented countless hours of her hard work.
If Lin Aoxue revealed the password, allowing this man to casually take away the synthesis method of Tricloramlin, she would definitely not survive. The synthesis method was in her head, and since Greet had obtained the electronic version of the formula, he wouldn’t allow Lin Aoxue, a living repository of the secret, to remain in this world!
“Speak quickly!”
Greet knew that taking Lin Aoxue away as a living person wasn’t very realistic, especially compared to a hard drive. The difficulty of kidnapping was too high, time was tight, and he wanted to force an answer quickly! The longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it became for him!
Greet showed no mercy for the fair sex. His large, hairy hand directly gripped Lin Aoxue’s neck: “If you don’t give me the password, you’ll die!”
Lin Aoxue was still wearing a mask, and her snow-white face instantly turned red!
Being roughly choked like this, she clearly felt the suffocation, a feeling close to death!
“If you don’t talk, I’ll strangle you to death!” Greet’s hand continued to squeeze. At worst, he would strangle Lin Aoxue to death, then find an opportunity to blow up Bikang headquarters, ensuring the new synthesis method for Tricloramlin would never appear in the world! If he couldn’t have it, then no one else would either!
Lin Aoxue gripped Greet’s hands with both of hers, but she couldn’t pry his fingers open no matter how hard she tried. She was already feeling severe oxygen deprivation!
No one knew how desperately Lin Aoxue wished for that figure to appear at this moment!
“Su Rui, come save me.” This thought flashed through Lin Aoxue’s mind over and over!
She hoped Su Rui would appear quickly. She knew he was in the laboratory and hoped he would discover her situation soon!
What had started as an ordinary busy day, no different from any other, had in just two short minutes brought Lin Aoxue to the edge of death!
At this moment, the mist in the laboratory was gradually dissipating. Through the wisps of smoke, Su Rui clearly saw Lin Aoxue being choked by a man! Her snow-white face had turned red from suffocation!
Whoosh!
A strong flame instantly ignited within Su Rui’s body!
Seeing this scene, he truly felt like he was about to burst into flames!
In one swift move, stepping on the lab bench, Su Rui’s body was already airborne. After a few unreasonable leaps, he kicked through the glass door of the core laboratory and appeared less than three meters away from Lin Aoxue!
When she saw Su Rui’s rapidly approaching figure, Lin Aoxue finally felt hope for survival!
Without him, perhaps everything would have been over!
Greet heard the sound of breaking glass and quickly released his grip on Lin Aoxue’s neck. She finally felt fresh air rushing madly into her windpipe!
Lin Aoxue was severely oxygen-deprived, her body limp, sitting on the ground, gasping for air.
The situation had been so urgent that she hadn’t had time to feel nervous, but thinking about it now, she was truly shaken!
Greet had barely turned around when he saw a dark flash seemingly cutting through the air, stabbing straight into his chest!
The military dagger pressed against his sternum, then was suddenly withdrawn, with blood gushing madly from the quadrangular wound left by the dagger!
“You’re truly asking for death!”
Every man has a heart that cherishes women, especially an exceptional beauty like Lin Aoxue. Having spent so much time with her, Su Rui had long developed feelings closer than friendship. Therefore, when he saw Greet daring to roughly choke Lin Aoxue’s neck, he felt his entire being about to boil over!
Blood rushed to his head!
Pulling out the dagger and tossing it aside, Su Rui’s heavy fist struck Greet’s chest wound without any fancy moves!
With just one punch, the blood from his wound exploded outward!
The second punch, immediately followed by cracking sounds!
The third punch, and Greet’s chest already showed a concave fist mark! When he opened his mouth, fresh blood gushed out in large amounts!
Su Rui seemed to have completely forgotten about keeping him alive for questioning, with blood splattered all over him! Fourth punch, fifth punch, sixth punch!
After six heavy blows, the bones in Greet’s chest were completely shattered, a large area caved in, his heart crushed. There was no way to save him!
Due to the severe oxygen deprivation earlier, Lin Aoxue’s vision was somewhat blurry. She didn’t feel afraid of the intense bloody smell and the brutal scene. Looking at Su Rui’s frenzied figure, something in a deeply hidden soft corner of her heart seemed to be touched.
This touch was subtle, but she clearly felt the vibration of her heartstrings!
After killing Greet with six heavy punches, Su Rui came to Lin Aoxue’s side. Looking at her still-red face, he asked with concern: “How do you feel?”
Lin Aoxue covered her neck with both hands, gave Su Rui a deep look, and shook her head.
“He’s already dead,” Su Rui said, glancing at Greet.
Lin Aoxue nodded.
At this moment, she showed none of the panic that other girls might display upon seeing blood or a killing. She was calm, not at all pretending.
“Were you scared just now?”
Lin Aoxue nodded, then shook her head.
The nod meant she was a little scared at first; the shake meant she wasn’t scared later.
Later, meaning—after you appeared.
“You were very brave.”
Su Rui smiled.
However, in the next second, when Su Rui saw the five purple finger marks on Lin Aoxue’s neck, his eyes instantly turned cold.
“Does it hurt?”
Frightened by Su Rui’s gaze, Lin Aoxue covered her neck with her hand again and said softly, “It doesn’t hurt.”
“I want to kill him again.”
Su Rui looked coldly at Greet, who had already become a corpse.
After saying this, he put one arm under Lin Aoxue’s knees and the other through her armpit, directly lifting this ice beauty from the ground!
“Ah!”
This princess carry came so suddenly that Lin Aoxue couldn’t react at all and let out a surprised cry!
“Put me down.”
Held in Su Rui’s strong arms, Lin Aoxue’s pretty face remained red, whether from the earlier suffocation or mixed with some other emotions.
Due to the severe oxygen deprivation earlier, she had no strength to struggle. Of course, even if she were full of strength, she might not have been able to break free from Su Rui’s embrace.
“Don’t move! I’m taking you to treat your injuries!”
Su Rui carried Lin Aoxue directly toward the laboratory door!
By now, the door had already been opened by the researchers who had escaped, and Zhang Weiping, the head of security who didn’t understand the situation, was leading Chen Dawu and other capable subordinates, preparing to rush in.
When Su Rui had rushed toward the laboratory, Cao Tianping had immediately chosen to notify security. After all, anything that Su Rui took so seriously couldn’t be a small matter, especially with CEO Lin Aoxue inside. Although Cao Tianping couldn’t understand the actual situation, his grasp of the big picture was very accurate.
The security department had a group of experts, and calling them in certainly wouldn’t be wrong!
Upon learning that CEO Lin Aoxue and son-in-law Su Rui were both in the laboratory, Zhang Weiping immediately treated it as a major crisis. No joke, their most important task was to protect CEO Lin Aoxue. If she had any accident within the company, these people might as well commit suicide to apologize!
However, before they could rush in, researchers were already running out of the research center!
Zhang Weiping grabbed one person and asked, “What’s going on? Why are you all in such a panic? What exactly happened in there?”
“Thick smoke, thick smoke, there must be a fire!”
In their panicked escape, the researchers hadn’t clearly seen what had happened. As soon as the smoke bomb exploded, everyone had fled in panic. As for more specific details about what had happened, no one could explain clearly.
Hearing there might be a fire, Zhang Weiping dared not harbor any wishful thinking. He grabbed the researcher’s collar and shouted, “Where’s the CEO? Where is she?”
“I don’t know! Everyone was busy escaping. The smoke was too thick; no one could see anyone else!” the researcher said helplessly.
“A bunch of idiots!”
Although Zhang Weiping was extremely skilled at flattery under normal circumstances, in this critical period he was surprisingly not cowardly at all. He knew that if the CEO and son-in-law had any accident inside, he would definitely be the first to be fired! Having finally climbed to his current position, losing his job would be too unfortunate! The CEO absolutely couldn’t be harmed!
Just as Zhang Weiping was about to lead his people inside, he saw Su Rui, covered in blood, carrying Lin Aoxue out!
Seeing this, Zhang Weiping’s heart tightened!
“Son-in-law, are you and the CEO alright?”
Su Rui gave him a cold glance and said coldly, “There are two people in the laboratory, one alive and one dead. Find me a quiet room and drag them both in!”
Zhang Weiping agreed, then asked, “Someone died. Should we call the police?”
Su Rui thought for a moment and said, “Seal the information, don’t notify the police. Some things are better resolved by ourselves than troubling them!”
“Understood. Brothers, follow me!”
Zhang Weiping had just rushed in when the bloody smell made him sneeze!
After saying all this, Su Rui carried Lin Aoxue into her office under everyone’s watchful eyes!
Flower protector!
This thought flashed through everyone’s minds simultaneously!
The CEO truly had found her match! They could completely abandon any such thoughts from now on!
Reaching the office and locking the door, Su Rui carried Lin Aoxue to the sofa.
Su Rui sat on the sofa, making it appear as if Lin Aoxue was almost sitting on his lap!
She had regained some strength by now, and with her face blushing, she tried to get up.
But Su Rui held her shoulders firmly and said, “Don’t move, let me look at the injury on your neck.”
