    Jin Xiann gave a straightforward answer. “I am sorry that you see it that way.”


    But Lu Jia’er contended with sharp words. “Professor Jin, quite the charade of affected manners! If you don’t want to witness the death of Ace, help us. If he is nothing but an experiment to you, then forget the fact that I am here. That being said, if Ace were gone, I would pin that crime on you for sure!”


    “Are you threatening me?” Jin Xiann squinted. A cloud came over her face.


    “Yes, that is a threat.” Lu Jia’er acknowledged her intention, frank and honest.


    A trace of anger tainted Jin Xiann’s face. “How dare you threaten me when you can hardly protect yourself?”


    Lu Jia’er burst into sneer. “Try me if you don’t believe me!”


    Jin Xiann returned with a sneer. “Provocation won’t work on me! Plus, you are barking at the moon! Say I let you go. Do you think you can be free? You and Ace represent the most confidential secret of this research center. Once you escape, the research center will cast a all over the world to hunt you down. You will be brought back eventually. All your efforts will be futile!”


    However, the cold nket Jin Xiann threw on Lu Jia’er had given her hope instead. “Can I take it as that meaning you are willing to help me?”


    Jin Xiann was taken aback. She pulled a long face. “That is not what I said!”


    But her micro-expression had already been captured by Lu Jia’er. “Your eyes have given you away. Besides, you must have made arrangements, didn’t you?”


    Jin Xiann seemed to be awkward. “Don’t try to read me and specte!”


    “I am not specting anything. You have exposed yourself. But now I understand why Ace tried to stop me froming to you.” Lu Jia’er mentioned.


    “Ace stopped you?” Jin Xiann asked.


    “Yes, I told him that you must have feelings for him, so he should be the oneing here to persuade you to help us get out of here. But he rejected the idea. He said that if you helped us, you would have to face grave consequences. That would be something he is notfortable with.” Lu Jia’er told her the story calmly.


    Jin Xiann batted her eyshes. “Did he... say that?”


    “Yes! He cannot leave behind the rtionship between you as sister and brother.” Lu Jia’er nodded to Jin Xiann.


    Lu Jia’er could not get a clear grasp on Jin Xiann’s expressions at the moment but she could tell that thetter’s emotions were changing. Jin Xiann did not press Lu Jia’er any harder. Instead, Jin Xiann kept silent for a few seconds before she went on, “You are right. You may still have a chance to get away from the research center but Xiangdong... even if he is allowed to stay alive, he can only be alive in the research center. If so, what is the difference between him and my brother lying in there? Indeed, Xiangdong is not my biological brother but I have been treating him as such for all these years.”


    Lu Jia’er kept her gaze at Jin Xiann. “He knows that you have been treating him as your own brother.”


    Jin Xiann raised her eyelids. “Professor Lu, can you promise me something?”


    Lu Jia’er replied to her, “I can promise you anything as long as you can help us.”


    “Protect him!” Jin Xiann said.


    Usually, people would tell boys to protect girls. Contrary to that, Jin Xiann was urging Lu Jia’er to protect Jin Xiangdong.


    Others might find thisughable. But Lu Jia’er took it seriously. “I promise you. I will protect him!”


    “Thank you!” Jin Xiann expressed her gratitude, “Follow my instructions from this point on!”


    Lu Jia’er nodded. “Sure. Thank you, Professor Jin!”


    Jin Xiann produced a forced smile. “I am just hoping that this is not a wrong decision.”
