Chapter 345 The Beautiful Professor's Love and Career 8
Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, as if squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with helplessness and despair.
Jun Li Que smiled with satisfaction, but there was not a trace of warmth in that smile:
"Very good. Here is the contract, sign it."
As he spoke, he pulled out a pre-prepared contract from his pocket and handed it to her.
Yun Rancang's hands trembled as he signed his name on the contract, each stroke feeling like a knife to his heart.
Jun Li Que put away the contract and gently patted her face, as if patting an obedient pet:
"Good girl. From today onwards, you belong to me."
He turned and left, his footsteps echoing in the empty laboratory, growing ever more distant.
Yun Rancang was left standing there trembling. She touched her cold cheeks, unable to believe that she had agreed to such a condition.
……
Yun Rancang's shoulders trembled violently, and tears welled up in her eyes, large teardrops sliding down her cheeks and wetting her clothes.
She tried to suppress her sobs, but the sobs still escaped uncontrollably from her throat, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and fear in her heart.
"He said... as long as I obey, he won't hurt you..."
Yun Rancang spoke with difficulty, his words interrupted by sobs, making them sound fragmented.
“I don’t want to drag you down with me, so…”
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, and her body trembled even more violently, like a frightened bird.
As Yun Suisi listened to his sister's tearful complaints, he felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart to his head, burning him to the point of almost losing his reason.
His eyes instantly became bloodshot as he hugged his sister tightly, wanting to give her enough security.
But his voice was surprisingly calm as he gently patted Yun Rancang's back and said tenderly:
"It's alright, Ayu. With your brother here, no one can hurt you."
Jun Sui stood aside, witnessing all of this, his face turning ashen.
His chest heaved violently, and his anger surged like a raging tide.
His hands clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force, and every vein seemed about to burst.
"My brother... he actually did this."
What's wrong with him now!
He said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger and disbelief.
In his mind, although his younger brother was cynical, he didn't think he would do something so outrageous.
Yun Sui raised his head, his once gentle eyes now unusually cold, as if covered with frost, and looked directly at Jun Sui, saying each word slowly and deliberately:
"Jun Sui, I need an explanation."
His voice was low and powerful, with undeniable authority.
In his mind, Jun Sui and he were in the same boat, and this should not have happened. He needed a reasonable explanation.
Jun Sui took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his anger still betrayed him in his words:
"I...I didn't know he would do this."
I'll go find him right now.
As he spoke, he turned to leave, his steps hurried, clearly intending to immediately confront Jun Lique.
"and many more,"
Yun Sui called out to him, her gaze falling on Jun Sui's injured arm.
"You're injured. Let me treat your wound first."
Despite his lingering anger, he did not forget Jun Sui's injuries.
Jun Sui paused for a moment, a complex expression flashing across his face, then he said with a wry smile:
"At a time like this, you're still concerned about my injury?"
In his view, given the current dire situation, it was quite unexpected that Yun Suisi could still care about his own injuries.
Yun Suisi did not respond to his words, but silently stood up, walked to the first-aid kit next to him, opened the kit, and took out gauze and disinfectant.
His movements were steady and practiced, and he then returned to Jun Sui's side, his tone brief but leaving no room for refusal:
"sit down."
Jun Sui obediently sat down, letting Yun Sui treat the wound on his arm.
Yun Suisi moved very gently, taking each step carefully to avoid hurting Jun Sui, but his eyes remained cold and devoid of any warmth.
"sorry,"
Jun Sui said in a low voice, his voice filled with guilt, "I never thought I would implicate your sister."
He knew he bore an unshirkable responsibility for this matter and was filled with self-reproach.
Yun Suisi did not answer, but focused on bandaging the wound, each wrap of gauze seeming to carry his inner anger and determination.
After finishing, he stood up and said with a serious expression:
"Now, we need to find Jun Li Que."
Just then, Yun Rancang's phone suddenly rang.
The sharp ringing sounded particularly jarring in the quiet and oppressive atmosphere.
Yun Rancang was startled by the ringtone and instinctively looked at her phone. When she saw the name displayed on the screen, her face instantly turned ashen, her lips trembled slightly, and she managed to utter a few words with difficulty:
"It is...it is Jun Li Que."
Upon hearing this, Yun Suisi's eyes sharpened instantly. Without hesitation, he took the phone and pressed the answer button.
“Dyed blue,”
Jun Lique's deep, somewhat chilling voice came from the other end of the phone, a voice that seemed to carry an aura of darkness, spreading from the receiver.
“Your brother is with Jun Sui, right? Tell them that if they want to save you, they should do as I say.”
His tone was full of unquestionable domineering authority, as if everything was under his control.
Upon hearing this, Yun Suisi's anger flared up again. His hand gripped the phone tightly, as if he were about to crush the phone case.
He suppressed his anger and said loudly:
"I am Yun Suisi. What do you want?"
His voice was deep and powerful, and the anger and questioning it contained made the surrounding air seem to freeze.
A cold laugh came from Jun Li Que's direction, a laugh filled with mockery and disdain, as if laughing at Yun Sui Si's overestimation of his abilities:
"It's simple. I need the genetic modification data you have."
He paused deliberately, as if enjoying the feeling of being in control, before continuing, word by word.
"And... Jun Sui's life."
"Are you crazy?"
Yun Suisi could no longer suppress his anger and roared, "For such a trivial matter, you're actually going to hurt innocent people? Do you even have any humanity left?"
His voice echoed in the room, filled with endless anger and condemnation.
In his eyes, Jun Li Que's request was utterly absurd; for the sake of information and his own selfish desires, he was willing to take a life.
"human nature?"
Jun Lique scoffed, "In this dog-eat-dog world, talking about humanity is too much of a luxury."
I must get what I want.
"Hand over the documents obediently, and give me Jun Sui's life, then I might consider sparing Yun Ran Cang's life."
His tone was casual, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary, but the ruthlessness in his words sent chills down one's spine.
"Don't even dream about it!" Yun Suisi retorted angrily. "I won't give you the information, and I certainly won't let you hurt Jun Sui."
"If you dare to lay a finger on Ran Cang, I will risk my life to make you pay!"
His eyes revealed a firmness and determination, a resolve to protect his family at all costs.
"Oh?"
Jun Li Que's voice remained lazy, yet carried a hint of threat, "Then you should try and see if your life is tougher than your sister's."
I don't have much patience. I'm giving you an hour to think it over. Once the time's up, don't blame me for being impolite.
After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaving only the busy tone of "beep beep beep," which sounded particularly jarring in the quiet room.
After hanging up the phone, Yun Sui was extremely anxious. He was discussing countermeasures with Jun Sui when he caught a glimpse of Yun Rancang out of the corner of his eye.
Her already pale face was flushed with an unnatural redness, her eyes began to glaze over, and her eyelids kept drooping, making her look drowsy.
"Ayu, what's wrong?"
