Tian Ming had just entered the house when Hu Meimei, swaying her slender waist, came to the door and carefully took off his clothes.

"Husband, why did mom and dad leave without saying anything? It's all my fault; I didn't take good care of them," Hu Meimei said, squeezing out a few tears like droplets under pear blossoms.

Tian Ming sighed and said, "Let it be, perhaps they really don't adapt to the environment here."

He lay flat on the bed, gasping for breath, then said, "Right, Meimei, have dinner with me tonight!"

Hu Meimei snorted coldly, "I don't want to. You couldn't even get a serum back, and by the way, I might leave tomorrow, not sure when I can come back."

"What? You're leaving, where to?" Tian Ming was startled and sat up from the bed.

Hu Meimei wore a woeful expression, "My father's company went bankrupt. Only your serum can bring the company back to life. Without the serum, how can dad repay so much debt? So I have no choice but to work overseas, where it's said to be easier to make money."

"I have money; I will repay Uncle's debts," Tian Ming mustered up the courage to say.

"You have money? What can your little money do? A billion, do you have a billion to repay my father's debts?" Hu Meimei said and eventually broke down crying on the bed.

Seeing Hu Meimei cry so heartbroken, Tian Ming became anxious and finally gritted his teeth, "Fine, I promise you, I'll steal the serum out tonight."

Hearing Tian Ming's words, Hu Meimei finally broke into a laugh, flinging herself directly into Tian Ming's arms.

"You're the best, husband. Once you steal the serum, we'll go abroad where no one can find us," Hu Meimei said seductively, her charming expression utterly bewildering Tian Ming.

"Tonight, come with me for dinner with Sister Zixuan, then we'll steal the serum together and fly far away," Tian Ming said with a smile.

"Hmph, why must you invite that woman?" Hu Meimei expressed her dissatisfaction.

Tian Ming earnestly said, "Sister Zixuan is my benefactor; since we're leaving, I must see her one more time."

Hu Meimei wrapped her arms around Tian Ming's neck, exhaling her fragrance, "Alright, then let's go together tonight."

That evening, inside a Western restaurant, Xiao Zixuan aimlessly stirred her coffee, her gaze constantly scanning the surroundings.

Lin Chen had said he would follow her nearby, but Xiao Zixuan had looked around for a long time without any sign of Lin Chen.

This guy couldn't have gotten lost, could he? Xiao Zixuan suddenly became worried.

Originally, both of them were supposed to come to the restaurant together, but Lin Chen said Hu Meimei had seen him, so he let her dine alone with Tian Ming while he would follow secretly.

As Xiao Zixuan was lost in her chaotic thoughts, Tian Ming and Hu Meimei walked into the restaurant.

"Sister Zixuan!" Seeing Xiao Zixuan, Tian Ming quickly waved his hand and walked over with Hu Meimei.

Seeing Hu Meimei and thinking of Lin Chen's words that she was a siren, Xiao Zixuan felt a burst of tension.

"Oh, you're here, have a seat. What would you like to eat?" Xiao Zixuan asked with a smile.

Tian Ming glanced at the empty seat beside Xiao Zixuan and asked in confusion, "Where's the person next to you?"

Xiao Zixuan steadied her nerves, "He couldn't make it because of a sudden matter, today I will treat you."

Tian Ming smiled and said, "Sister Zixuan, today I'm treating you."

The three of them ordered a few dishes, and at Tian Ming's insistence, they got a bottle of red wine.

Tian Ming poured a glass of red wine, looking somewhat excited, "Sister Zixuan, this glass of wine is for you. Without your financial support back then, I probably never would have had the chance to go to college, let alone meet Meimei. I thank you."

Tian Ming actually gulped down the red wine in his glass.

Xiao Zixuan was stunned for a moment, feeling that Tian Ming was acting strangely today.

Xiao Zixuan nodded and also drank the wine in her glass.

All three of them had their own concerns, so the dinner ended quickly.

"Sister Zixuan, I'm leaving, I will miss you," Tian Ming said as he parted from Xiao Zixuan, tears streaming down his face.

His expression seemed like a farewell of life and death.

On the side, Hu Meimei chuckled and said, "Xiao Ming, we'll have plenty of chances to see Sister in the future, won't we? Sister, Xiao Ming is just like this, don't mind him! We're leaving now."

Watching the two leave, Xiao Zixuan felt somewhat at a loss. Lin Chen had said he would be watching from the shadows, but now there was no sign of Lin Chen at all. Should she follow them or also leave the restaurant?

Just then, Xiao Zixuan's phone beeped with a message notification, displaying four words: "Come home and wait for me."

Xiao Zixuan looked around. There was no sign of Lin Chen anywhere.

But since she had received the message, Xiao Zixuan had no choice but to drive home.

Leaving the restaurant, Tian Ming and Hu Meimei drove straight to the research institute.

"Meimei, maybe we should just drop this. If we get caught, we could be sentenced," Tian Ming suddenly got cold feet as they drew nearer to the research institute.

"Tian Ming, are you even a man? If you're scared, then we might as well break up tomorrow!" Hu Meimei snorted coldly, pretending to be angry.

"Meimei, don't be mad, I'll listen to you, okay!" Seeing that Hu Meimei was really upset, Tian Ming compromised immediately.

Though the research institute had many checkpoints, Tian Ming, being an employee, showed his ID and easily entered the inner part of the institute.

"Wait here for me, I'll be back soon," Tian Ming took a deep breath, got out of the car, and walked toward the lab.

The security within the institute was very tight; Tian Ming had to scan his face five times and pass through several checkpoints before entering the lab.

At that moment, there was no one in the lab; Tian Ming went to the area where the serum was stored, his gaze fixed on the serum on the shelf.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen, who was invisibly following behind Tian Ming, also set his eyes on the shelf.

Biting his lip, Tian Ming finally picked up a bottle labeled

YN Serum.

"What is this?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

The system said, "YN Serum is a serum refined from the most primitive blood of Huaxia people by technicians, the purest serum. Host, this thing must not fall into these people's hands. If a virus is created with this serum, it would be a devastating blow to the Huaxia people."

"What? The consequences are so severe?" Lin Chen was also shocked.

"Bang"

Accompanied by a dull sound, Lin Chen's hand-chop hit the back of Tian Ming's neck, knocking him out. Lin Chen hid Tian Ming and returned to the lab, took a vessel labeled pig's blood from the shelf.

The next moment, Lin Chen had transformed into the likeness of Tian Ming, holding the pig's blood and walked out.
