240: Shen Yuan is back

Upon hearing this, Tian Ming calmed down slightly and said, "If I go, I can quickly rescue Shen Yuan."

Lisa, who was standing nearby, saw Tian Ming's tension, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Inside the control room, the atmosphere was somewhat tense. Charlie smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Shen Yuan is in Life Origins' top brain science Laboratory. Because she is an eight-element Superpower User, she is now placed in a fully liquid consciousness suppression tank. Tian Ming, Sir, if you come, not only will you not be able to rescue her, but it is very likely that Duke Lawrence will choose to fight to the death. Duke Lawrence is already insane; he does not care about the Lawrence Family's future or the lives of his clansmen."

Tian Ming fell silent, his clenched fists filled with rage. He knew very well that in this situation, if he went, Duke Lawrence would very likely choose to destroy everything. And he did not want Shen Yuan to suffer any harm.

"Tian Ming, Sir, please do not worry. Shen Yuan is temporarily out of danger. I guarantee that Shen Yuan will return safely. I will not joke around with the entire family."

Tian Ming looked at Charlie on the screen and said in a deep voice, "I am waiting for your news. The Lawrence Family's fate is now in your hands. You must think clearly, even if it means eliminating your Duke Lawrence, you must ensure Shen Yuan returns safely."

Charlie was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "I understand. Wait for my news."

After cutting off communication, Tian Ming glanced at Lisa beside him and said coldly, "Your father is still stubbornly resisting at this critical juncture."

Lisa was silent, unsure how to respond, and could only sigh softly.

Two days later, a large aircraft appeared over the Lawrence base, and on the external helipad, Tian Ming had been waiting there early.

As he watched the aircraft slowly descend, the aircraft door slowly opened, and Charlie walked out from inside, a hint of fatigue on his face. He waved to Tian Ming, then slowly walked over.

"Sir!" Charlie respectfully saluted Tian Ming.

"Where is she?" Tian Ming asked, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Just then, Shen Yuan walked down from the aircraft. Her eyes were filled with a dazed expression, and her walking posture was a bit unsteady, as if a child had just learned to walk.

Shen Yuan looked around, and when she saw Tian Ming, the dazed look in her eyes instantly lit up. Watching Shen Yuan stumble towards him, Tian Ming's anger was instantly replaced by tenderness. He immediately ran forward and embraced Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan's head rested on Tian Ming's chest, silent, but the expression on her face was like a lost child finding her home.

"It is alright, it is alright," Tian Ming's voice was exceedingly gentle, completely different from his usual cold demeanor.

As Tian Ming spoke, he checked Shen Yuan's physical condition. She was somewhat weak, but overall, there were no major issues.

Shen Yuan opened her mouth and asked, "Boss, how... how long have I been a hostage?"

Shen Yuan had been kept in a liquid sealed cabin, and her consciousness was also confined to a virtual world, so she had no idea how much real time had passed. In fact, when she was rescued, she could not even distinguish whether she was in a virtual or real environment for a moment.

"Almost half a month. I am late, I am sorry," Tian Ming held Shen Yuan tightly, his heart filled with guilt and self-reproach.

Charlie, who was standing by, also breathed a sigh of relief as he watched this scene.

Charlie stepped forward and said, "Shen Yuan, Miss's consciousness has been sealed. Our neuroscientists said that she needs some time to recover and may experience some memory loss. But do not worry, it will slowly recover. When she was coming here, Shen Yuan, Miss was already injured, and her forced combat also caused slight damage to some brain nerves."

Tian Ming knew some of these circumstances. At the time Shen Yuan was taken, she was hit multiple times by consciousness interference weapons. If she could still fight, Shen Yuan would not have used herself to exchange for the Shelter's management.

"Where is Duke Lawrence? Bring him up, and those elders too," Tian Ming's tone suddenly turned cold.

Charlie glanced at Lisa, then lowered his head and said, "Duke Lawrence and the five great elders committed suicide after failing to resist."

Before Charlie finished speaking, several combat personnel in brown combat uniforms carried several bodies down from the aircraft. This scene instantly made Lisa collapse; Duke Lawrence was her biological father!

Looking at those bodies, Lisa's eyes instantly blurred, and tears streamed down her cheeks. She could not accept this fact.

"Father..." Lisa murmured, her body trembling uncontrollably. She wanted to go forward to confirm, but her feet felt as heavy as lead.

Charlie stepped forward and patted Lisa's shoulder. But Lisa suddenly erupted.

Slap!

A loud slap landed on Charlie's face.

"Get lost, do not pretend to care. I asked you to leave my father a way out, but you brought his body back? Charlie, to gain power in the Lawrence Family, how could you be so ruthless and lay hands on your elder?" Lisa cried hysterically, screaming at Charlie.

Charlie did not argue, because the negotiations were not smooth. If his subordinates had not bribed the professor at the brain science Laboratory in advance, he probably would not have been able to rescue even Shen Yuan. Duke Lawrence and the elders did commit suicide, but their suicides were inextricably linked to him.

Lisa walked forward, moving out of Tian Ming's control range. Endless mental torment surged, but she still walked forward step by step. Her lips were tightly bitten, and her originally bright red lips were stained with blood. No amount of mental torture could compare to Lisa's despair at this moment.

Pulling open the body bag and seeing the pale face, Lisa covered her mouth. Her delicate body trembled, and tears fell like broken pearls.

"Hehe!" Xin Xin's laughter suddenly came from Tian Ming's mind.

"What are you laughing at? Her father died, and you can still laugh?"

Xin Xin said with a hint of mockery, "Oh, you have the nerve to talk about me. Who was it a few days ago who went on a killing spree and almost wiped out all the Lawrence Family's guards?"

With a flash of light, Xin Xin appeared before Tian Ming. She looked at Tian Ming holding Shen Yuan, a playful smile on her lips.

"Release the mental control. I do not want to be followed all the time. It is a torment for her, and it is for me as well."

Xin Xin smiled indifferently, "I can release it. Once she is out of your control range, she will no longer suffer mental torment, but the dependency that has developed during this time will not be so easy to eliminate. Hehe, your Little Shen will have a rival now."

Xin Xin snapped her fingers, and the mental torment attached to Lisa instantly disappeared. Such consciousness implantation control is not that easy to release. Although the invisible restraint was gone, the seed of dependence had taken root in Lisa's heart.

Xin Xin glanced at Shen Yuan, smiled, and turned into a beam of light, drilling into Tian Ming's ear.

"I will be dormant for a while. If there is nothing, do not disturb me," Xin Xin's words came from his mind.
