"Su Ding, the only way to save Uncle is to go out and find help first."
Jin Ye said in a deep voice, holding Su Ding's icy hand.
Su Ding felt a heavy weight in her heart and could only agree, "This secret passage might not lead anywhere."
"It's an exit," Jin Ye said.
"Really?" Su Ding looked at Jin Ye in shock.
Jin Ye nodded. "Those people just now were the core researchers of this organization, and each of them had many people working for them. This place was their meeting office. And this secret passage was an exit for a few of them to sneak out and have fun."
Su Ding quickly asked, "So, they were planning to go out just now?"
"That's right. I was hiding behind this door and heard them planning to go out. Fortunately, a call came, and it seemed to be something urgent, so they left."
Jin Ye felt a bit nervous as he recalled the moment.
Su Ding could also imagine how serious the consequences would be if they had discovered Jin Ye in the secret passage.
"Let's hurry."
The two of them walked forward in the darkness, very worried about being chased.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached a slightly wider circular hall. As they were wondering where they were, they suddenly felt a dangerous aura watching them from the darkness.
"Someone's here!"
Jin Ye suddenly shouted, and indeed, four figures darted out from the darkness and charged towards them.
Jin Ye shielded Su Ding as they dodged the attackers.
However, these four were all skilled fighters, clearly trained individuals, and quickly subdued Jin Ye and Su Ding.
But upon seeing Jin Ye and Su Ding's faces, all four looked confused and examined them.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" the leading man in black asked in a deep voice.
"You're not here to capture us?"
Su Ding noticed something was wrong. These people didn't seem to recognize them, so they weren't from the X organization.
She immediately asked, "Who are you?"
The leading man in black chuckled. "Little girl, are you asking me, or am I asking you?"
Jin Ye's face darkened by several shades.
Su Ding squeezed his hand and then looked back at the man in black, saying directly, "We are people captured by the X organization for research, and we've escaped. What about you?"
The leading man in black immediately changed his expression. "You... are people brought back by the Young Master?"
Upon hearing this title, Su Ding immediately asked, "Are you from the Ouyang family? Aren't you?"
The man in black didn't answer her question. Instead, he exchanged glances with the brothers behind him and then said, "I can take you to a safe place."
"Huh?" Su Ding was bewildered.
"Take them away," the leading man in black suddenly ordered.
The two men in black who were guarding Jin Ye and Su Ding immediately moved to help them up.
Jin Ye suddenly said, "Ouyang Kai is also imprisoned inside. Since you've found this place, you'd better send more men to rescue him. They plan to perform gene modification on Ouyang Kai to turn him into their puppet and then occupy Lijin Island."
"We understand. Hurry up and leave here."
The leading man in black showed no reaction to this but urged the two men to take them away.
Although Jin Ye and Su Ding were confused, they no longer hesitated and followed them forward through the secret passage. The leading man in black, with another brother, continued deeper into the mountain cave.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally emerged from the secret passage.
Ahead lay lush, dense trees. Passing through the trees, they had actually reached the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain.
Rows of small white Western-style buildings, green trees, blue sky, and the faint sound of waves could be heard.
Looking at the scene, Su Ding felt refreshed and invigorated.
If her uncle weren't in danger, she would truly want to linger here and enjoy the scenery.
"Let's go see the Fortress Master quickly."
Su Ding took a deep breath and looked at the person leading the way.
The person glanced at her again, gestured to his companion, and then his companion made a phone call.
As they walked down the slope, a car was already waiting by the roadside.
After getting into the car, Jin Ye observed the route outside and the expressions of the two men.
Even he was unsure of their current situation.
"Bang."
Suddenly, for some reason, the car veered off the road and crashed into the crops.
