228: I'll ask him myself.

Upon hearing this, Rogers revealed a shocked expression. Why was Miss Lisa speaking up for Tian Ming? One must know that the two parties were enemies. This wasn't a curse; it was brainwashing.

Rogers still took a deep breath and said, "Miss Lisa, please endure for a while. The Lawrence Family has the top biomedical company, and this problem can be solved."

Tian Ming said indifferently, "Do you think my mental control is that easy to solve? I gave you a chance to take her away. Now, she doesn't want to go with you. You can't blame me for this."

Upon hearing this, Rogers's face darkened.

"Mr. Lu, please undo the curse."

Lisa said, "He can't undo it. The one who cursed me is an consciousness body attached to him."

Rogers clenched his fist: "Mr. Lu, there is a misunderstanding between us. I believe Shen Yuan, Miss, is very important to you, and we also don't wish to see her harmed. If you can undo your control over Miss Lisa, I can guarantee that even if I risk my life, I will bring Shen Yuan, Miss, to you."

Tian Ming shook his head and said, "Didn't your Miss Lisa say it? I can't undo it, and I'm even annoyed by her following me! If you release Shen Yuan immediately as Lisa said, and fulfill all my demands, I can consider sparing the Lawrence Family."

This matter has probably reached an unsolvable point again. They cannot take Lisa away. In that case, the Lawrence Family would definitely not release Shen Yuan.

Rogers was momentarily in a dilemma. As a Commander, he was actually just a family servant of the Lawrence Family. Although he had some authority, the Lawrence Family would never agree to release Shen Yuan without first rescuing Lisa.

Seeing Rogers's silence, Tian Ming knew he couldn't make decisions on this matter.

"Since you can't make the decision, don't blame me then." Tian Ming's eyes narrowed, and Rogers immediately found himself completely unable to move.

"What do you want to do?" Rogers asked, somewhat flustered.

"Where is Shen Yuan being held?" Tian Ming asked coldly. At this moment, Rogers also realized that the pressure on his body was slowly increasing. Rogers's face changed drastically.

"I, I don't know. She was taken away by Duke Lawrence's people. I don't know where exactly she went."

"You don't know?" Tian Ming asked with a cold tone.

"I... I really don't know."

Crack!

The immense pressure directly broke one of Rogers's ribs.

"Ah!" Rogers screamed loudly.

Tian Ming released his hand, and the pressure on Rogers's body disappeared. He clutched his chest, his face turning pale. Tian Ming glanced at Lisa and said, "He doesn't know, but you should know, right?"

Lisa's face changed: "I'm not sure either. The family has many businesses, and they started planning before the Apocalypse. Globally, except for your country, there are research bases everywhere else. The locations of these bases are all underground and are top-secret. Even I need someone to introduce me, with my sight and hearing completely blocked, to enter a top-tier research base. Rogers didn't lie to you; he really doesn't know."

Tian Ming fell into contemplation. The most worrying situation had still occurred: if he wanted to save Shen Yuan, he wouldn't even know where to start. He looked at Rogers and suddenly had an idea. Since he didn't know where she was, he would go directly to their headquarters.

Tian Ming walked directly towards the aircraft, while Lisa quickly followed.

"What do you want to do?" Lisa asked, somewhat alarmed, fearing that Tian Ming would do something crazy.

Tian Ming smiled coldly: "What do I want to do? Of course, I'm going to your home to meet Duke Lawrence and personally ask him where he hid Shen Yuan."

"You can go, but I beg you, spare the Lawrence Family. I can ask my father to release Shen Yuan. Whatever you want, as long as our family has it, I will give it." Lisa had already given up resisting. These past few days, she had witnessed too many impossibilities. Moreover, what the Lawrence Family was doing now was undoubtedly playing with fire.

Tian Ming ignored her and directly boarded Rogers's aircraft. Rogers clutched his chest and painfully crawled up. He looked at Lisa, not understanding why Lisa would compromise so much. Was this still the Miss Lisa he knew before?

Rogers gasped, asking, "Miss Lisa, it's even better if he's willing to come with us."

Lisa looked at Rogers and said coldly, "Go back to Li Island first. I'll contact my father. You're too muddled. Why take such a risk?"

This sudden rebuke left Rogers utterly bewildered. Was Miss Lisa really under mental control, or had she been bewitched and fallen in love with her enemy?

Rogers didn't retort and followed them onto the aircraft.

The aircraft's interior was advanced and luxurious, with comfortable seats and seatbelts. Tian Ming sat in a seat; the interior of this aircraft was like a first-class cabin.

Tian Ming had no mind to appreciate it. Before he came out, he had already instructed the Shelter's Person in charge. He didn't know how long this trip would take.

But Tian Ming had already prepared for the worst. However, Lisa pleading and actively asking her family to release Shen Yuan was somewhat beyond Tian Ming's expectations.

He narrowed his eyes, pondering Lisa's motives. Was this just a delaying tactic, or was she truly making some concessions out of fear of his retaliation against her family, or was there some other motive? Tian Ming couldn't determine it for now.

After taking off, the aircraft flew rapidly towards Li Island. Li Island is a modernized military base, possessing highly developed defense systems and advanced weaponry.

The entire base was surrounded by sturdy high walls, with heavily armed guards at the entrance, making security tight. The base's internal facilities were complete, with various training grounds, warehouses, communication centers, etc., demonstrating the Lawrence Family's emphasis and investment here.

When the aircraft arrived at Li Island, Tian Ming witnessed the magnificent sight of this military base for the first time. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing sharp light. Now, he began to understand why Ouyang Jie of the Alliance would not easily intervene.

Before the Apocalypse, the United States was the spokesperson for the Lawrence Family. After the Apocalypse, to still have such a scale indicates that the true strength of the Lawrence Family is probably not much weaker than the Alliance.

But Tian Ming would not retreat. What if they were strong? It would just be a bit more troublesome to clean them up and take some time.

"Mr. Lu, we have arrived." Rogers's voice sounded in Tian Ming's ear.

Tian Ming nodded slightly and followed Rogers off the aircraft. The three of them exited the aircraft together and walked into the base's interior.

Rogers himself was also a First-Class Ability User, with extremely strong body repair capabilities. His broken rib was not dislocated, and it recovered by 30% in just over an hour, with the pain significantly reduced.

Lisa said to Tian Ming, "We'll go to the communication room first. I will explain the situation to my father and ask him to release Shen Yuan. If I succeed, can you spare the Lawrence Family?"

Tian Ming said calmly, "That depends on how much sincerity you show."
