Chapter 67: Alarm

Huo Tian’s daily routine during this period of time was basically as such: After she reached school, she would go to the form teacher or the first period’s teacher to report to them.

If there were important tests or exams on that day, she would stay in the class to work on the papers for a little while.

If there were no exams or tests, Huo Tian would go look for Bi Ying and the two of them would stay in the school’s laboratory.

Si Huan often had to drag them to the cafeteria for lunch. Otherwise, they would be immersed in the experiments and completely lose track of time.

Today was no different from usual. Huo Tian greeted the teacher and ran to the laboratory with Bi Ying, immersing herself in the research atmosphere.

This carried on until the phone in Huo Tian’s pocket rang sharply.

It didn’t sound like a phone or alarm ringtone. Instead, it sounded like some kind of electrical wave that was specially meant to stimulate one’s nerves.

The electronic components that Huo Tian was assembling fell to the ground and scattered everywhere.

Huo Tian could not be bothered by these things. She quickly took out her phone and saw that Ding Chen’s name and location were displayed on it.

The dot that represented Ding Chen was in their company. The dot was a reddish-orange color, and Huo Tian could not help but frown.

Ding Chen shouldn’t have encountered any danger while he was in the company. The moment Huo Tian saw Ding Chen’s name, she subconsciously thought that Ding Chen and the employees in the company were testing the alarm device again.

However, seeing that the dot representing Ding Chen was getting redder, Huo Tian started to realize that something was wrong.

The color of the dot indicated the danger level of the owner of the alarm device.

If the owner of the alarm device had only bumped into someone occasionally or had small quarrels or conflicts with someone else, the small dot would indicate a green color.

If the owner of the alarm device had a more serious physical conflict with someone else, the dot would show yellow.

And when the owner of the alarm device was suffering from more serious damage and gradually losing the ability to put up resistance, the small dot would gradually turn into a bright red color.

Right now, the dot on the phone screen that represented Ding Chen was starting to turn increasingly red.

Bi Ying had just gone to the toilet and when he came back, he saw the electronic parts that had been carefully handled by Huo Tian earlier had fallen onto the laboratory’s floor. Huo Tian was staring at her phone with a solemn expression.

“What happened?” Bi Ying also realized that something was amiss and hurried to Huo Tian’s side.

He looked at Huo Tian’s phone screen and immediately understood.

In a critical moment like this, Bi Ying’s ability to respond was much stronger than Huo Tian’s. He took out his phone and called the police, explaining the situation to the police officer succinctly. Then, Bi Ying called the ambulance. He was worried that Ding Chen would be injured.

After the call, Bi Ying pulled Huo Tian’s arm and led her out the door.

As they walked, he quickly explained to Huo Tian, “The police said that they’ll be arriving at the company within 15 minutes. You don’t have to worry too much. There are so many employees in the company after all. Even if someone were to cause trouble, they won’t be able to hurt Uncle for a while.”

Huo Tian heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Bi Ying’s words. “I was too anxious earlier and didn’t think of this.”

When she came back to her senses, Huo Tian changed her grip to hold Bi Ying’s hand and ran towards the school gate.

“Let’s go over quickly. Although I know Uncle has many helpers, I’m still worried that Uncle will be injured.”

Of course, Bi Ying could understand this kind of worry. He didn’t complain that Huo Tian ran too quickly. Instead, he tried his best to get used to the mechanical prosthetic limbs’ running frequency and tried his best to follow Huo Tian.

On the way, they happened to meet Si Huan, who was patrolling the school. Si Huan saw the two of them in a hurry and immediately followed them.

“What happened? Why are you guys in such a hurry?”

Si Huan caught up to Huo Tian and Bi Ying at the school gate. The security guard was about to question them about why they wanted to leave the school. Si Huan gave his assurance in the capacity of the president of the student union that the security guard hesitantly opened the electronic gate.

Si Huan left the school with them and the three of them got into a taxi. Only then did Si Huan figure out what had happened from Bi Ying’s explanation.

Si Huan muttered to himself for a moment and a solemn expression gradually appeared on his face.

“I haven’t established a firm foothold in the Si Family yet. In order to not let this technology company be exposed to the Si Family, we specially chose this office to be in an inconspicuous commercial building like this. I’ve never been to the company either. Uncle and Boss Zhu have always kept a low profile. Logically speaking, they shouldn’t attract the Si Family’s attention…”

Bi Ying said, “Maybe the ones who went to cause troubles aren’t from the Si Family.”

Si Huan shook his head, looking like he couldn’t figure it out. “Among the three investors, I’m the most likely to be targeted and have people trying to seek revenge on me. If the troublemaker isn’t targeting me, I can’t think of any other reason either.”
