EBE Chapter 168 A Close Call! Almost Killed by His Own Mother
Chapter 168 A Close Call! Almost Killed by His Own Mother
The experimental chamber opened automatically, revealing a woman in a deep sleep inside.
With skin as smooth as ice and jade, her skin so delicate it seemed to break at a touch, and long, flowing black hair cascading loosely over her shoulders, she resembled a sleeping beauty.
It was the fifth dream.
Her appearance had changed drastically from what Luo Wen remembered, but Luo Wen could still glimpse the shadow of the young girl, Fifth Dream, through her beautiful face.
Luo Wen called out her name in a trembling voice: "Mengmeng".
No response.
"Go first!"
Luo Wen took out a gas hood he had prepared in advance and put it on Fifth Dream's head. He then picked up the unconscious woman and strode towards the exit.
Suddenly, a hacker's alarming voice came through the headset: "Boss, you must evacuate immediately. Security center is sending people to your floor. Two minutes..."
The other person suddenly paused, then said, "It's too late, they've blocked the elevator."
"Boss, shall we charge straight out?" Behind him, mercenaries stood with their guns at the ready, prepared for a bloody battle.
There are only two elevators here.
The researchers blocked the elevator, leaving Luo Wen and his team with no choice but to engage in a direct confrontation with the institute's armed forces.
Just as Luo Wen was about to give the order to prepare for battle, a woman suddenly stood up unsteadily in the research hall behind him and shouted in a hoarse voice, "There is a secret passage in the research institute!"
"If you trust me, then retreat through the secret passage I have shown you."
She was a woman in a white lab coat, who looked to be in her thirties. She was somewhat disheveled due to temporary blindness, but her deep, distinct, exotic face remained stunning.
Luo Wen gave the woman a deep look, and decisively said, "You speak!"
The woman then said, "There is a white trash can in the corner of room 5. There is a button on the bottom of the trash can. Press it and a secret passage will appear."
"The secret passage leads directly to the port."
At present, a fierce battle is inevitable.
Heeding the woman's advice might offer a way out and reduce the casualty rate.
"Thank you."
Luo Wen, holding Fifth Dream, prepared to retreat in that direction.
As everyone retreated, the woman in white suddenly reached out and grabbed the hem of a mercenary's clothes.
The mercenary's eyes hardened, and he made a move to chop off the other man's hand, but Luo Wen stopped him in time, saying, "Don't hurt her yet."
"Go to room number 5 and see if there's a tunnel there."
"Yes!"
Luo Wen lowered his eyes and asked the woman in white, "Are you a researcher here?"
The woman said succinctly, "Whether you believe it or not, I am a reporter who has infiltrated this place."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "My older brother was a student of Cassorn. Twenty-two years ago, I received an email from him containing images exposing the Long Life Island Biological Research Institute."
"After that, my older brother died."
"Ten years ago, I used every means to infiltrate the research institute with the aim of gaining their trust, collecting the identity information of all the researchers and senior executives, and obtaining more powerful evidence to destroy this place."
Regardless of whether Luo Wen believed her or not, the woman took off her thick glasses and handed them to Luo Wen, saying, "There's a mini storage chip hidden inside these black-rimmed glasses."
"I will send you out, and you will help me tell the world what's inside."
"please."
After saying that, the woman held her glasses and remained still.
Luo Wen took the glasses.
He carried Fifth Dream and hurried toward Gate 5.
Just as he was about to enter the room, he stopped, glanced back at the slender figure of the woman in white, and suddenly said to his most trusted subordinate, "Lin Nuo, take her with you."
Lin Nuo went back, knocked the woman unconscious, and carried her on his back into room number 5...
After walking briskly in the dark for thirty minutes, they finally arrived at the exit of the secret passage.
It was a small cliff above the sea, with its exit sealed off by an iron gate the color of a stone wall.
The mercenary shattered the lock with a single shot, kicked open the iron gate, stood at the exit overlooking the sea below, and immediately took out his headset to call his comrades to bring a boat to pick them up.
Luo Wen gently placed Fifth Dream on the ground, walked to Lin Nuo, picked up the unconscious woman, and said, "You all close your eyes."
Upon hearing this, Lin Nuo quickly urged everyone to close their eyes.
After everyone closed their eyes, Luo Wen carried the woman in white back into the secret passage, took off her clothes and shoes, and carefully examined her.
Finding no tracking device hidden on the woman, Luo Wen opened her red lips and carefully examined each of her teeth.
Finally, there's the hair.
After a thorough check confirmed that the woman was not carrying any tracking devices, ruling out any possible spy tactics, Luo Wen helped her get dressed and led her onto the receiving research vessel...

Nanyang, Zhaomengtai.
Fifth Jue held the phone and turned on speakerphone.
Luo Wen's steady and powerful voice came through the receiver: "Godfather, the rescue plan was a success. I have successfully brought Mengmeng out."
Upon hearing this, Fifth Absolute closed his eyes.
Taking a deep breath, the first question Fifth Jue asked was, "Are you injured?"
"Don't worry, Godfather, our trip went smoothly. We met an undercover reporter who was working at the research institute. She guided us to a safe escape route."
Before Fifth Jue could inquire about Fifth Meng's condition, Luo Wen proactively explained, "Mengmeng has been asleep the whole time. We don't know her exact condition yet, but her breathing is normal, and she's alive."
"Bring it back first."
"Ah."
After hanging up the phone, Fifth Jue's eyes felt a little hot.
He looked at Zhou Zhiwei, whose face was already streaked with tears, said nothing, but got up and walked towards his lover, holding her tightly in his arms.
Zhou Zhiwei gripped Fifth Jue's arm tightly and finally burst into tears, "Jue, Mengbao is still alive!"
"She's still alive, can you hear me?"
The fifth one also shed tears.
Gu Huaizhou and Li Xi exchanged a glance, then got up and left the study in tacit agreement.
As soon as he stepped out of the study, Gu Huaizhou said, "Aunt Wu Meng's health must not be good. Her situation may be a bit tricky. I'm going to make a phone call."
"Who are you looking for?" Li Xi asked.
“A truly remarkable, all-around surgeon.” Gu Huaizhou walked to the observation deck at the end of the corridor and made a phone call to President Jun of Nanzhou City.
"Brother Jun."
"I have a favor to ask of you. I would like to request that Mr. Feng Qing come out of retirement and help me treat someone."
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded nonchalant. "Who is it?"
"Mr. Wu Jue's beloved daughter, who had been missing for many years, has been found. He would like to invite Mr. Feng Qing to come to Southeast Asia to examine Ms. Wu Meng."
"Fifth Dream?" Jun Xiuchen's tone suddenly became serious. "Fifth Absolute has found his daughter?"
"Yes."
Jun Xiuchen pondered for a moment, then said, "Mr. Feng Qing and his wife are currently on a road trip and will arrive in Southeast Asia in three days at the latest."
"Then it'll be hard work."
After Gu Huaizhou finished his phone call, Li Xi came to his side and asked, "Mr. Feng Qing? Is he the all-around surgeon you mentioned before?"
"It's him."
"Is he willing to come and treat his mother?"
“Brother Jun has already agreed. He is Mr. Feng Qing’s son-in-law. Since he has agreed, there is no problem with it.”
Upon hearing this, Li Xi's mood brightened. "That's wonderful!"
Once the two elders had calmed down, Gu Huaizhou told them that Feng Qing was willing to come to Southeast Asia to treat Wu Meng.
Upon hearing that Feng Qing was willing to come out of seclusion, Fifth Absolute said, "When Mr. Feng Qing was young, he was a doctor in a hidden organization, and he was particularly skilled in virus research and neurosurgery."
"He later devoted himself to the study of traditional Chinese medicine and has now become a representative figure of traditional Chinese medicine in mainland China."
"It's great that he's willing to come and treat Mengbao."
"Huaizhou, Xibao," Fifth Jue instructed them, "When Mr. Feng Qing arrives, you two help me to entertain him properly."
"We must not neglect that gentleman."
"Don't worry, sir, we will take good care of Mr. Feng Qing."

Luo Wen stayed in South America for two days.
On the first day, a two-hour-long video revealing the existence of the Longevity Island Research Institute once again became the hottest topic of international discussion.
On the second night, Luo Wen destroyed the entire Longevity Island Research Institute with an 'accidental' fire.
The researchers and executives who were fortunate enough to be pulled out of the fire escaped being consumed by the flames, but they could not escape the judgment of the International Court of Justice.
On the third day, Luo Wen took Wu Meng back to Southeast Asia on a private plane.
During this time, Fifth Dream never woke up.
After the plane landed, Fifth Dream was escorted back to Zhaomengtai, to the room where she had grown up. Hearing her mother Zhou Zhiwei crying, she finally opened her eyes.
As she stared intently at the white-haired old man before her, Fifth Dream's dull and wooden eyes gradually regained a spark of life.
"...Whoa..." Fifth Dream tried to shout something, but his head started to throb as if he were being pricked by needles.
"what!"
Fifth Dream fell into a coma again.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhiwei was heartbroken.
But seeing that her daughter was still alive and could wake up, she quickly cheered up again.
"Xi Bao".
"come over."
Zhou Zhiwei waved to Li Xi.
Li Xi walked to the bedside, holding Zhou Zhiwei's hand in one hand and carefully taking Wu Meng's slender, weak hand in the other.
“Xi Bao, you are the flesh and blood that fell from Meng Bao’s body. Perhaps if you stay here with your mother, she will be happier when she wakes up.”
"I'm getting old, she probably won't even recognize me."
Li Xi then stayed there.
*
at night.
Li Xi stayed up half the night, but finally succumbed to sleepiness and fell asleep next to Fifth Dream.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly sensed danger.
Li Xi suddenly opened her eyes, only to see Fifth Dream standing by the bed, holding a fruit knife and stabbing it towards her neck!
Li Xi moved faster than she could think, and dodged with a flip.
The dagger missed its mark and struck Li Xi squarely in the shoulder.
"what!"
Li Xi screamed in pain.
Gu Huaizhou lived in the next bedroom. Hearing the noise, he rushed over immediately and saw a scene that almost made his heart stop.
His mother-in-law was actually chasing after his lover with a dagger!
Gu Huaizhou's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He instinctively rushed over to shield Li Xi behind him and reached out to grab the dagger that was thrust at him from the front.
Blood dripped from the tip of the dagger onto the ground, drip, drip...
The bedroom was eerily quiet.
Fifth Dream stared at the dripping blood dagger, glaring at Gu Huaizhou and Li Xi with deep hatred. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but instead made a "ho ho" sound again.
Gu Huaizhou then realized that Fifth Dream didn't have a tongue in her mouth!
