the girl who restarted time

Colin argued with Jin Xiangdong. “How can you use the words not necessarily if you don’t try and explore your options?”
Jin Xiangdong’s expressions were hard to read. “Because I am nothing but an experiment!”
Lu Jia’er heard his words. She blinked and gazed at him. He must have found out the truth, the cruel, hard truth.
Lu Jia’er held Jin Xiangdong’s hand and he smiled at her. His facial expressions were telling her that he was fine and that she should put her mind at ease.
“But she has feelings for you!” Colin went on with his analysis.
“Yes, she has feelings for me. For that reason, I am unwilling for her to shoulder such responsibilities.” Jin Xiangdong stressed.
Colin could not help but break into laughter. “Are you still tangled in the relationship between a sister and brother at this moment?”
Jin Xiangdong looked at Colin but said nothing in return. Lu Jia’er had been holding Jin Xiangdong’s hands gently. “Colin, there is something I find strange. Since you can sneak into this research center, why didn’t you make a plan of retreat?”
Colin turned to Lu Jia’er and said, “Of course I have a plan of retreat. However, I can only make arrangements about matters on the outside. The inside is full of uncertainty. But Ian reiterated to me again and again that you were the priority. Therefore, I have to attend to the matter personally and come in here!”
Lu Jia’er threw a meaningful glance at Colin. It appeared that she did not buy his words. “There are some loopholes in your answer.” She was on guard.
Colin looked into her eyes. “What loopholes?”
“Why would you take such risks for just money?” Lu Jia’er pointed it out.
Colin laughed at this question. “That is why I said I took his money and I took care of his business!”
“Colin, your words are not convincing enough!” Lu Jia’er emphasized.
Faced with Lu Jia’er’s suspicion, Colin remained neither humble nor pushy. “I don’t have anything else to say since you have doubts about me!”
The two of them then fell into silence.
A moment later, Colin broke the silence. “Are you going to say that you have a better plan of escape?”
“Yes, I do!” Lu Jia’er knocked Colin out, which was unexpected, after her reply.
Jin Xiangdong was not shocked by Lu Jia’er’s actions at all because the more he thought about certain matters, the odder they seemed to be.
Whether it was Ian or Colin, every time they showed up, it would be just in time or a coincidence. How could the world be filled with so many timely actions and coincidences? Hence, this was a lead that was worth probing into.
Colin was put on the ground by Lu Jia’er who removed his wristwatch. With the functions of her eyes, the traces of Colin’s fingerprints were enlarged to a large extent and she was able to figure out the password in only a short amount of time.
Lu Jia’er used the AR image to view the contents and data inside. Having finished this, she told Jin Xiangdong, “I think it is as Jin Xianglan said, there is no possible escape.”
Jin Xiangdong checked the map projected into the AR image. He browsed through it from the left to the right quickly. Soon, he noticed a location. “Look here at the southeast side. There is a landing field for emergency helicopters. Jia’er, check who has the authority to access the landing field!”
Lu Jia’er read through the database. “Jin Shengping and Jin Xianglan are included here!”
Jin Xiangdong took a look at the Jin Shengping lying on the testbed. “It turns out that Colin is right. If we want to get out, we must seek help from my sister!”
At the same time, Lu Jia’er was looking at Colin who was on the ground. At the moment, Colin’s looks were identical to Jin Shengping on the testbed. Some unspeakable feeling crept up to Lu Jia’er’s heart. “Colin is suspicious!” Then, Lu Jia’er turned to Jin Xiangdong. “Ace, I think we have fallen into some sort of trap!”
Jin Xiangdong agreed with her. “Or maybe, we have always been in a trap!”
Lu Jia’er’s eyes were still fixed on Jin Xiangdong and a glint of worry passed through her eyes. “In that case, we must get out!”
