Chapter 125

Guan Yuexi’s tone was cold, and the researcher quickly shut his mouth. In the end, Guan Yuexi still lacked the courage to step into the research institute, which was steeped in sin. She got into her car and left. As the vehicle pulled away, she finally felt as if she had escaped from a mire, finally able to draw a full breath. Her hands trembled as she unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and gulped down a few mouthfuls of cold liquid, her breathing seemingly clearing a little. She admitted that she dared not learn the details of the research; she feared that if she did, she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from running away or going insane. But she had no right to do so. Guan Yuexi’s gaze was unfocused as she raised a hand and pulled out the necklace hanging around her neck. A silver diamond chain held a blue seashell. She grasped the shell in her palm, her fingers tightening as if it were the most precious thing in the world.
