Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 179 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (32)

Before the guards behind him could even "testify" for him, Si Yan interrupted them, unable to contain himself any longer: "Do you really think I'm stupid?"

He stepped forward, grabbed Sun Donghang by the collar, and dragged him toward the morgue.

Sun Donghang struggled desperately, but even with almost all his strength, he couldn't break free from Si Yan's grasp. Finally, he could only shout, "What are you all standing there for! Make him let go!"

Just as the guards were about to make their move, Shi Qi suddenly blocked their way: "Are you going to fight the new base commander?"

Shi Qi's words stunned the ten people who were originally going to help Sun Donghang. Clearly, they hadn't fully weighed the pros and cons.

But after receiving Sun Donghang's sinister look from behind, they finally made up their minds; rather than trusting a new base commander, they would rather trust the base's veterans.

Seeing that they intended to continue forward, Shi Qi stopped trying to persuade them and adopted an offensive stance, as if he would beat them all down if they dared to go any further.

The guards didn't take this fifth-tier ability user seriously and planned to ignore him and go help Sun Donghang.

Before they could move forward, Shi Qi's teammates arrived at his side.

Zhang Lie raised his chin at Shi Qi: "Brother Shi, don't forget, we're teammates!"

Ye Xin: "Don't forget, we're here for you! Besides, what kind of nonsense is it to let you shoulder this alone!"

Not only these two, but even Ling Wei and Jiang Weilan, the two soldiers in the back row, stepped forward with their guns and nodded to Shi Qi.

Zhang Lie turned his head slightly to look at Si Yan, who was carrying someone behind him but hadn't entered the house yet: "Boss, don't worry, we won't let Brother Shi get hurt!"

"Fate Value -5"

Upon hearing the sudden mechanical voice, Shi Qi subconsciously glanced at Jiang Weilan beside him out of the corner of his eye, and as expected, saw his slightly furrowed brows.

Hearing this, Si Yan finally relaxed and said, "Be careful, everyone." Then he led Sun Donghang and pushed open the door to the morgue.

As soon as the door opened, Si Yan smelled a strong stench of blood; frowning, he carried the struggling Sun Donghang further inside, but he couldn't find Zhong Yihuan's body on the specially made bed.

She turned her head abruptly, looking coldly at Sun Donghang: "Where's the body?"

Sun Donghang seemed equally surprised, his face full of confusion as he said, "How would I know? Base Commander, are you asking this because you suspect I've disappeared the body? But... shouldn't there be some evidence?"

"You're making assumptions about me without any evidence at all. Isn't that a terrible injustice?"

Si Yan withdrew his gaze from him and was about to contact Zhong Liyu to send someone to retrieve the surveillance footage when He Chiyan contacted him first.

He Chiyan's tone on the other end of the call wasn't good either: "The samples were destroyed, and even the forensic doctor has disappeared... How's the situation on your end?"

Faced with his question, Si Yan fell silent. He was unsure what impact telling He Chiyan about the situation would have on him.

However, Si Yan's prolonged silence had already alerted He Chiyan to something amiss; in fact, when he saw the state of affairs on the technical department's side, he knew that Si Yan's situation was definitely not good either.

"No need to tell me, we'll go to your place now." His voice sounded a little unsteady.

Si Yan didn't know how to respond or how to comfort him. In the end, he just sighed and replied, "Okay..." Then, He Chiyan hung up the call first.

Putting away the communication device, Si Yan subconsciously glanced at Sun Donghang, only to see the gloating look in his eyes that he hadn't yet managed to conceal.

But he still had to go out and help Shi Qi and the others, and he had no time to care about Sun Donghang's mentality; he left the morgue while still holding Sun Donghang by the collar.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Shi Qi swiftly dodge a bullet and then punch the last remaining guard to the ground, knocking him unconscious with just one punch.

Si Yan reasonably suspected that the other guards lying on the ground were most likely knocked unconscious by him in the same way.

"Si Yan's favorable impression +5"

It seems I was worrying too much by rushing out to help; after all, how could a group of guards who live in "utopia" all day and rarely see zombies possibly defeat his teammates?

"How is it inside?" Shi Qi asked as soon as he led the group to the door, and then the others came to greet them.

Si Yan shook his head with a grim face: "The body is gone. He Chiyan said the samples are also gone... I'll contact Zhong Liyu right now to check the morgue's surveillance footage."

However, Si Yan was unable to access the surveillance footage this time either.

Just as he was about to make a contact, Shi Qi suddenly said, "There are footsteps approaching this way."

Si Yan subconsciously said, "Is it He Chiyan and the others? He just told me he was coming this way."

“No…” Shi Qi shook his head, denying Si Yan’s statement: “Judging from the footsteps, there were far more than five people.”

Si Yan frowned, but Sun Donghang, whom he held in his hand, suddenly brightened up. Because his attention was on Shi Qi, Si Yan couldn't see the change in his expression, but Shi Qi saw it very clearly.

Shi Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and said in an unfriendly tone, "Do you know who's coming?"

Shi Qi followed to see Sun Donghang, and the others also saw the expression on his face.

Sun Donghang raised his eyebrows innocently: "How would I know? But I advise you to let me go now, otherwise it won't be so easy to explain when the others arrive."

Si Yan ignored his words as nonsense and had no intention of paying him any attention.

Instead, Zhang Lie spat at him indignantly, causing Shi Qi, who was standing quite close, to move aside: "Go to hell! What do we have to explain? You're the one who should be explaining!"

Sun Donghang was so angry at his actions that the veins on his forehead bulged, but because he had not yet escaped from Si Yan's grasp, his anger could only be expressed on the surface.

Soon, the people who made the footsteps arrived at the scene.

Shi Qi glanced at the scene and saw that there were no fewer than fifty guards present, all of whom were equipped with the most advanced firearms available at the time.

The person leading the group was none other than Secretary Li, who had acted quite opportunistically yesterday.

His face still bore the same warm smile he had when we first met, but now, no matter how you look at him, you feel like there's a knife hidden in his eyes.

"Li Wenshu, tell them to release me!" Sun Donghang shouted impatiently upon seeing the newcomers.

Li Wenshu's smile remained unchanged: "Of course, Captain Sun, I'll have them release you right away."
