Mr. Xian offers his hand. I reach out and shake it.
His smile is warm—too warm for someone evil. "It will be an honor having you in this research, Yunhua."
I smile back, all sweetness and sincerity. "No, the honor is all mine. To be part of such an extraordinary project."
The honor of destroying you all with my own hands. Soon.
"Then come with me," Mr. Xian says, standing up with a casual wave. "Let me give you a quick look around."
"Yeah, give it to me," I reply cheerfully, standing as well. So I can burn every last bit of it to the ground. Anything that dares to harm my innocent Jiang is going down.
"I'm so excited to see such advanced tech!" I clasp my hands together like a giddy intern, all bright eyes and enthusiasm.
Mr. Xian chuckles, clearly pleased with himself. "Haha, come with me then."
Yes. Lead the way, villain. Let me memorize every hallway, every machine, every weakness. You've no idea what you just invited in.
