The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

The sky was about to brighten, and You Mu had not yet woken up. Huo Qi held him in his arms and they quickly followed Jin Jisi back to the workshop in the basement.

"Wait a moment, I need to debug the equipment. Xiao Ke, go get my lens."

Jin Jisi took off her coat as she walked and threw it on the sofa in a mess. She didn't have time to say much to her brother and signaled the people behind her to catch up quickly.

"okay!"

The boy also saw the unconscious You Mu and knew something had happened, so he immediately went to the tool room on the side as instructed.

"Put the lieutenant here, gently." The black cloth on the table was removed, and Jin Jisi turned around and started the instrument.

"No need for you to remind me," Huo Qi disliked Jin Jisi, but still did as he was told.

"I advise you not to take advantage of others' misfortune. The lieutenant does not belong to Tumi City." Taking the lens from Xiaoke's hand, Jin Jisi soaked it in chemical solution with tweezers, and then carefully placed it on the mechanical device.

After being included in the fugitive list, Jin Jisi followed You Mu's suggestion to get rid of the pursuit and settled in Tumi City, continuing her ideal job, even though she had been expelled from that disgusting unit with gender restrictions.

Everything in the studio now is the result of her hard work over the past few years.

The lieutenant once said that what she loved was innocent and should not be abandoned.

After so long, she still remembers these words.

Huo Qi found it ridiculous to be warned by an outsider.

He pinched You Mu's wrist, played with it in his palm, and tilted his head to remind Jin Jisi of her naive words: "I think you don't understand one thing. This is my territory, and... it's too late."

Operating the console, Jin Jisi suddenly understood the meaning of the other party's last sentence.

Suddenly turning around, she really wanted to shoot this man with a gun.

"……you!"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." Without further ado, Huo Qi stepped aside and urged.

Someone who could be remembered by You Mulian even after losing his memory...

Looking away, Huo Qi crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.

"... Humph." Jin Jisi disliked the current city lord. But there was one thing that the other party was right about, Tumi City was indeed his territory at present.

When can we change the city lord again? This one has lived too long!

He cursed in his heart, but his hands kept moving, and the machine started up. Through the radioactive liquid with anti-shielding effect, Jin Jisi saw the two chips hidden in You Mu's body through the scanning lens.

"The situation is not good." The scanning results were almost the same as what she had guessed, and Jin Jisi was not relieved.

"What?" Huo Qi stepped closer.

After confirming that there was no Internet access between the studio and the outside world and that the chip's recording device had long since stopped working, Jin Jisi breathed a sigh of relief and spoke a little bolder.

Turning around, she pushed the perspective clip on the display screen for the other party to see, and patiently explained it.

"Here, and here." She circled two marks on You Mu's eyeballs and heart.

"...In his eyes, there is a chip the size of a grain of rice, and in his heart, there is a detonator that connects the heart and lungs. The surface of this chip is coated with an anti-reconnaissance coating, and because it is very small, ordinary medical equipment cannot detect it. As for its use, I don't need to elaborate on it, right?"

Supervision, control, orders and threats, that's all.

The chip was well hidden in the opponent's eyeball, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find it. Jin Jisi was able to see the clues only at several specific angles.

She wanted to ask at that time, but was stopped without a trace.

"……What did you say?"

Huo Qi had a momentary tinnitus. After catching the definite meaning in Jin Jisi's eyes, a chill suddenly rose from the back of his neck, and a feeling of panic and numbness suddenly spread throughout his body.

With his arms barely propped up on the table, he lowered his head to look at You Mu who was in a coma. He couldn't believe it...

"Based on the degree of fusion between the chip and the flesh, this thing has been in the other person's body for at least six years."

It was hard for Jinji to imagine how a living person could survive for so many years under such surveillance.

"The people of the 13 states are really amazing. The Huo family actually guarantees their loyalty in this way. No wonder the lieutenant tried every possible means to escape. It's ridiculous..."

The election was very exciting at the time, but the final investigation was vague. Jin Jisi was able to figure out something from You Mu's movements.

This kind of chip that is only available in research institutes, who else can get it except those senior executives?

They are all despicable people!

Jin Jisi's mocking remarks were heard in the room, and Huo Qi was so shocked that he forgot to conceal his identity and refuted her.

"It's not the Huo family. We don't bother to use this method... It's not..." Huo Qi was very sure that the Huo family would never use such immoral means to intimidate.

Besides, how could he set up such a thing for You Mu!

He stood up with his palms pressed on the edge of the table, his heart was in turmoil. He thought he understood the other person well enough, he thought he could protect the other person well enough.

But I don't know when, out of his sight, so long ago...

Tears were hanging on his drooping pupils, and Huo Qi suddenly remembered what he once hated and worried about, the other person's drooping eyes that always avoided his sight.

Perhaps, it was not about avoiding his direct gaze... but about preventing him from being exposed to the group of people behind him.

"Perhaps, what I saw is also what others saw. Sir, do you trust me so much?" Suddenly, the other party's joke reverberated in his mind.

At that time, Huo Qi stared at the other person's smiling face in a daze, without thinking deeply about it at all.

It turned out that You Mu had already hinted to him at that time... He didn't care, he didn't take it seriously, it was his fault...

"I didn't know it for so long... I didn't know anything..."

Huo Qi stretched out his cold and stiff fingertips, wanting to touch You Mu's face, but was afraid of hurting him or alarming the damn monitor in his body, so he hung in the air and did not dare to let go.

"...Are you Huo Qi?" From the man's state and the few words he said, Jin Jisi raised her eyes slightly and recognized the other person's identity.

"You're not dead? You're here too... not you... This type of J surveillance chip was only developed by the research institute a few years ago, and it was extracted from the bodies of imperial spies. Only people like you are qualified to obtain it!" When she worked in the scientific research department, she had come into contact with these inside stories many times, and she knew much more about the models and origins of chips than ordinary people.

Apart from the Huo family, Kamos had not yet made a fortune at that time and was not qualified at all, so how could he obtain such a high-precision chip? Could it be that the nobles of the Federation? Those extravagant people would plan so carefully?

"Besides that... the Empire, they are the people of the Empire!"

There are many imperial spies who have infiltrated the Federation... She was thinking wrongly!

If the chip came from the 13th state, it should have exploded or been secretly removed when the lieutenant switched sides. Why wait until now? If the chip came from the nobles behind Kamos, who spent time burying the secret line, how could they allow the lieutenant to be expelled.

The previous wrong conclusion made Jinjisi confused for a few seconds, but then her thoughts continued to work, and she retrogradely speculated on the correct possibility.

"So... what the lieutenant did to you before... might not have been revenge, but... disguised protection?" Jin Ji's head began to swell as the assumptions fell from one extreme to another.

"..." Huo Qi remained silent, his mind constantly recalling everything that had happened, his hands pressing on the table tightening more and more.

All the things that Huo Qi couldn't understand before may have been explained now. But he was no longer as impulsive as before. After sorting out his emotions, he gathered his strength to suppress them.

At the moment, You Mu’s physical condition is the top priority. If he cannot successfully get rid of these restraints, all the other party’s efforts will be in vain.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Qi tried to suppress his impulses. His eyes were still a little bloodshot. He suppressed his rationality and tilted his head to ask:

"Let's put these things aside for now. Can you take out the things in his body?"

"Yes, but it requires sufficient anti-reconnaissance preparations and explosion-proof measures, a medical assistant, and a precise independent surgical instrument."

Her thoughts were interrupted and Jinji was brought back to the point.

"The surgical instruments are on the way. Nurse, I'll help you find them. Please make a list of what else you need and I'll prepare them!"

Huo Qi was just giving instructions when there was a knock on the door. Huo Qi turned around to open the door and saw Wei Di, who had just escorted Hardy back to his residence, standing at the door with an anxious look on his face.

"Sir, the cargo was seized at the state border crossing!"

"…Which state border?"

"The one near the Visk National Highway, Major General Kamos seems to be giving a lecture there recently..." This is also the reason why Vidi is anxious. Their things have been seized by senior federal officials, and the chance of getting them back... is difficult.

"Kamos..." Huo Qi turned his head and looked sternly.
