Chapter 325 - Let's Get This Party Started

Jia slowly turned and watched his black orbs twinkle with delight and joy. His lips curved into an eerie and dangerous smile as if she had fallen right into his trap.

Mingshen stood before her and smiled. "I guess you got a fetish for pointing sharp objects to people's necks."

Jia narrowed her eyes.

Why is he here? It must be freaking three AM! Does this monster not sleep?

Lu Bojing was so freaked out that his legs started trembling. He didn't even dare to meet his Boss's gaze.

I am dead. I am dead! I brought her outside, helping her flee. He is going to kill me! He will cut me up into pieces, he cried. I am going to join the room with the other research subjects!

"B-Boss…" he broke into a cold sweat. "I-I swear I really didn't want to b-bring her here…"

Mingshen snorted. "Of course I know you didn't. I am not blind. You know the consequences of trying to help her by your 'own' accord, don't you?"

He swallowed a gulp.

Mingshen chuckled as he looked at Jia. "Now Spicy~ Good morning~ It's so peaceful, isn't it?"

"It was until now," Jia sharply retorted.

He laughed. "You are right. Ah, I am so glad I did this. This was fun," he tilted his head. "By the way, you can leave my assistant. He is not a fighter. He is useless as a hostage. He is not a person you have to be wary of."

Lu Bojing - "..."

Of course, Jia had already understood when she nabbed him. She released her hold over him and pushed him away.

Lu Bojing collapsed on his knees and finally took a long breath in relief.

He stared at the two demons in front of him and gulped.

Ugh...what is going to happen now? Is the world going to end?

Jia and Mingshen faced each other at an arm's distance.

Mingshen winked. "Are you thrilled to see me here, Spicy? Your heroic doctor who saved you from kicking the bucket to hell is here. Do you want to hug me? There. See, my arms are open for you~ Or maybe do you want to kiss me?"

"Replace the two 's' with two 'l's in your second last word," she calmly smiled. "And you will get your answer."

Mingshen gleamed. "I see, I see. You even got the weapon to do that! Hmm...but let me guess. Why do you feel so violent? Why is your gaze burning with such killing intent, I wonder?"

He touched his chin dramatically as if giving a deep thought about it.

"Aha! Is it because I barged upon your escape attempt? I guess you must be pretty mad at me now. Tch. You were so close. Just a bit more and you would have seen the night sky and felt the cool breeze."

Jia said nothing.

"Pretty decent to take advantage of my absence in the dead of the night," Mingshen sighed and chuckled. "But monsters don't sleep, Spicy. I knew you would definitely try to run away so I was specifically awake just to greet you. Am I not so caring? I have never been so caring before for any of my research subjects."

She stared at him and then sneered. "I see. So it was a trap. You purposely let me hear that your assistant will keep a watch while you will not be there. But you were. In that case, you knew I was awake."

Mingshen smiled. "Did you like me being sneaky? I am the one who put you to a nice tight sleep. So of course I know when you will be awake. I can calculate the time based on the amount of chloroform I made you smell. And I already noticed the ever so faint tremble of your eyelashes when you woke up."

She narrowed her eyes.

"Well you can surely pretend that you haven't woken up but that is AFTER a few moments when you realize it. Before you come to know that you are awake, your body reacts first. Your eyelashes flutter and sometimes you slightly move your fingers. How could I miss it? It's because I don't, that you are alive in the first place," he chuckled. "Otherwise, you were already dead to others with that bullet in your chest. I noticed that you were still breathing~"

Jia smiled. "I appreciate your attention to minute details, but I don't want to impose myself any longer."

"You are my precious research subject, Spicy. You have a special place in my lab. How could you think that you are imposing?"

"I don't care about any special place here, but I am leaving right now whether you like it or not," her voice was grim and dangerous. It was clearly a warning to back off.

"No can do, Spicy," he leaned his arm on the wall and stared at her. "You are my ticket to saving that woman."

"So bring it on," she sneered. "I am prepared to fight for my freedom if I have to. I am surprised you didn't bring your guards."

"Unneeded," he narrowed his eyes. "I am more than capable of stopping you. Plus, you are MY research subject. I don't like people touching my things or I get extremely upset. And it's not a good option to do that."

Lu Bojing inwardly nodded hard.

Do not mess with the Boss!

"I am not a thing," she spat in distaste.

"Thing, human, whatever," he shrugged. "The moment you came into my lab, you became mine. I decide if you step in or step out."

"If you think that I am weak because I look like that now, then you are gravely mistaken."

Mingshen chuckled. "Trust me, Spicy. I don't think that for a moment. I know your-"

Suddenly, he felt as if Jia disappeared into thin air, who was standing right in front of him. He sharply ducked down and Jia's heel narrowly missed his face.

Mingshen amusingly laughed. "That was a good move hahaha! You cannot wait huh, my precious subject? So, I won't.. Let's get this party started."
