Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 453 Don’t move!

"You..." Qin Huairu was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Chu Tian asked.

"What do I want to do?" Xu Damao's eyes swept over Chu Tian and Li Qiang, "I want to know what you are doing."

"We didn't do anything," Chu Tian said, "We were just hiding from the rain here."

"Sheltering from the rain?" Xu Damao sneered, "Who are you kidding? Do you think I will believe you?"

"Believe it or not," Chu Tian said impatiently, "We don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

"Don't leave in such a hurry," Xu Damao stopped Chu Tian, ​​"I still have something to ask you."

"What?"

"About the Genesis Project."

Chu Tian and Li Qiang looked at each other, both surprised. How could Xu Damao know about the "Genesis" plan?

"How do you know about the 'Genesis' plan?" Chu Tian asked.

"Don't worry about that," Xu Damao said, "I just want to know that you are involved in this plan."

"We were not involved," Chu Tian denied.

"No?" Xu Damao sneered, "Then why are you here? Why are you with Qin Huairu?"

Chu Tian was speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to explain.

"It seems that you are not going to tell the truth." Xu Damao's eyes turned cold, "Then don't blame me for being rude."

As he spoke, Xu Damao took out a dagger from his arms and pointed it at Chu Tian.

"What do you want to do?" Li Qiang stood in front of Chu Tian.

"What do I want to do?" Xu Damao laughed grimly, "I want to kill you!"

Li Qiang's face changed. He didn't expect Xu Damao to be so cruel.

"Xu Damao, you're crazy!" Qin Huairu exclaimed.

"I'm not crazy," Xu Damao said. "I just want to get what I want."

"What do you want?" Chu Tian asked.

"I want the 'Genesis' device," Xu Damao said, "With it, I can control the world!"

Chu Tian and Li Qiang were both stunned. They didn't expect Xu Damao to have such ambitions.

"You're dreaming!" Li Qiang roared.

"You'll know if you try it or not," Xu Damao waved a dagger and stabbed at Li Qiang.

Li Qiang dodged and then punched Xu Damao in the face.

Xu Damao was knocked to the ground and the dagger fell to the side.

Li Qiang was about to step forward to subdue Xu Damao, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain. He looked down and saw a dagger stuck in his abdomen.

"Li Qiang!" Chu Tian exclaimed.

Li Qiang fell down slowly, and blood dyed the ground red.

Chu Tian looked at Qin Huairu angrily. He didn't expect that Qin Huairu would actually attack Li Qiang.

"Why?" Chu Tian asked.

Qin Huairu showed a trace of pain on her face, "I'm sorry, I have no choice."

It turned out that Qin Huairu was coerced by Xu Damao, who threatened her family's safety and forced her to attack Li Qiang.

Chu Tian looked at Li Qiang lying in a pool of blood, his heart filled with grief and anger.

He picked up the dagger on the ground and pointed it at Qin Huairu, "You deserve to die!"

Just then, a siren sounded outside the warehouse...

The sirens were getting closer and closer, and the red and blue flashing lights shone through the cracks in the warehouse, illuminating the originally dim warehouse. Qin Huairu slumped on the ground, her eyes empty, as if she had lost her soul. Chu Tian still held the dagger tightly, the tip of the knife pointing at Qin Huairu, but his hand was shaking slightly.

The door of the warehouse was kicked open and several policemen rushed in, pointing guns at Chu Tian and Qin Huairu.

"Don't move! Put down your weapons!"

Chu Tian mechanically turned his head and looked at the black muzzle of the gun. He knew that everything was over. He slowly loosened his hand, and the dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound, as if ringing the death knell of fate.

In the interrogation room, the light was pale, shining on Chu Tian's face, making him look even paler and weaker. He remained silent in response to the police's questions, only repeating Li Qiang's name over and over again.

"Li Qiang... Li Qiang..."

The policeman sighed, knowing that Chu Tian had been hit hard. Li Qiang's death was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Chu Tian. They had been best friends and had experienced countless ups and downs together, but now they were separated by Yin and Yang.

Qin Huairu explained everything clearly. She tearfully recounted how Xu Damao had coerced her and forced her to attack Li Qiang. Her words were full of regret and despair, but she knew that none of this could bring back Li Qiang's life, nor could it make up for the damage she had done to Chu Tian.

Xu Damao was arrested and brought to justice soon. He confessed to his crimes and even arrogantly claimed that he was doing it for the "Genesis" device and to control the world. His arrogance and cold-bloodedness made everyone present shudder.

The "Genesis" project, a scientific research project originally intended to benefit mankind, eventually turned into a tragedy due to human greed and desire. Li Qiang's death has become a stain that can never be erased from this project.

Chu Tian was released, but he felt like he was imprisoned in an invisible cage. He lost his best friend and lost hope in life. He walked aimlessly on the street, looking at the bustling crowd, but felt that he was out of tune with this world.

He returned to the small house he and Li Qiang had rented together. Everything in the house was still the same, Li Qiang's clothes were still hanging on the hanger, and his books were still on the table, as if he had only left temporarily and would be back at any time.

Chu Tian picked up Li Qiang's favorite book and turned to the page he often read. Lines of text came into his eyes, but they hurt his heart like a knife.

“Life is like a play, and play is like life.”

This sentence, which was once their common motto, now seems so ironic.

Chu Tian sat dejectedly on the chair, letting his tears fall. He knew that he had to cheer up again, for Li Qiang and for himself. He couldn't let Li Qiang's sacrifice go to waste, he had to complete the "Genesis" plan and make the world a better place.

A few days later, Chu Tian found the person in charge of the "Genesis" project and expressed his desire to join the project. The person in charge looked at the thin and haggard young man in front of him, and his heart was full of sympathy and admiration.

"Are you sure? This is going to be a road full of hardships and challenges."

"I'm sure." Chu Tian's eyes were full of determination, "For Li Qiang, and for myself."

The person in charge nodded, knowing that Chu Tian was ready. He handed Chu Tian a document, "Here are the details of the plan, take a look first."

Chu Tian took the document and read it carefully. He knew that this would be a new beginning in his life and also the best commemoration for Li Qiang.

After joining the "Genesis" project, Chu Tian devoted himself to the research work. He forgot to eat and sleep, worked day and night, as if he wanted to pour all his energy into this project.
