Lu Jia’er froze on the spot. Since her hand was sweating, she didn’t notice it when the fingerprint film on her finger peeled off.

The two security guards came back to their senses quickly. One of them pointed his gun at Lu Jia’er’s back and the other at Jin Shengping on the bed.

Lu Jia’er felt her heart stopped beating for a second. She was regretting and vexed over the fact that she had been careless. The next second, Jin Xiangdong, who was disguised as Jin Shengping on the bed, kicked his foot forward. Next, he jumped off the bed quickly, grabbed a security guard’s hand and landed a heavy blow on him. Lu Jia’er reacted rapidly. When the security guard was about to pull the trigger, she bent backward and with a bang, the bullet from the stun gun was lodged on the wall. Lu Jia’er swung her legs and leaped across from the bed and kicked on the security guard heavily.

The two security guards had received a fair amount of training. Yet, compared with Lu Jia’er, the advanced AI, and her kung fu skills, the security guards were considered less than capable. In less than half a minute, the two security guards had been overwhelmed.

A new problem presented itself after the two security guards were brought under control. Only specific individuals could have the authority to access the emergency exit. The fingerprint film Jin Xianglan made had been lost. How should the last door be opened?

Once the alarm of the door was set off, not only would security guards arrive in the research center, out there, the helicopter would also be alerted.

Lu Jia’er dragged the knocked-out security guards and tried their fingerprints but it did not work. Nothing around here could be of assistance, either.

The time was so pressing that she was anxious. She blamed herself. “Ace, I am sorry. I have been too careless!”

Jin Xiangdong’s wound had torn open during that fight. “Hand me the watch!” He said.

Lu Jia’er took off the smartwatch at once. Jin Xiangdong pulled up the AR model of the operating mode of the watch. Then, he typed in a lot of data. Lu Jia’er was not a programmer but she could tell that Jin Xiangdong was doing something a hacker would do.

There was not a laptop, just a super smartwatch. Could he invade and crack the fingerprint recognition system within an extremely short time?

Jin Xiangdong used his long, lean fingers and tapped the AR image. He heard security guards coming.

Lu Jia’er said to him. “I will stall them!”

Jin Xiangdong was staring at the virtual screen with full attention. But he did not forget to caution her, “Be careful. Give me one minute!”

Lu Jia’er nodded. She bent over to pick up the stun gun and went off to meet the enemies.

A few seconds later, there came some sounds of fights and screams in the corridor. Lu Jia’er battled against the security guards, herself versus them all.

Maybe, it was because she was warmed up from the fight before. This time, Lu Jia’er was more agile and quicker when making moves. Soon, she overpowered two security guards. That being said, the security guards were armed. After all, she had to protect Jin Xiangdong who was cracking the password and herself from being injured. The battle scene was quite intense and thrilling.

Lu Jia’er, who was engaged in the fight, would cast a glance at Jin Xiangdong who was cracking the system now and then. She remembered a saying: it was possible that I had failed, or lost my way, or, everything had slipped away from me. No matter how hard I struggled, nothing would be of effect. It was likely that I had nothing left in my grasp but a pile of ashes and I was the only one that was blinded from seeing the truth. Maybe in this world, nobody would bet on believing me. But none of that mattered because there was one thing I was sure of: at least, for me, there was something worth waiting for, worth looking for.

Yes, the one she was waiting for was him! The one she had been looking for, was him! He and she were different from others. They appreciated each other and their fates were connected. They would... go through thick and thin together.
