The best alternative.

That’s it again!

Shen Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous wariness lurking deep within them.

"Since you want to capture me," he raised his eyes, staring intently into the eyes beneath the mask, "you should at least let me know what a substitute means, shouldn't you?"

King chuckled at his serious expression. "Are you trying to trick me into telling you something?"

Shen Ji snorted. "I just want to know who's targeting me and why. I can't die without knowing how I died, can I?"

At this point, he felt a pang of frustration again.

In his past life, he really didn't know who his opponent was.

King raised an eyebrow. "If you're willing to come with me, I can tell you."

Shen Ji narrowed his eyes dangerously. "What if I don't want to?"

"Well..." King's playful tone remained relaxed, "then I'll have to apologize."

The words were spoken.

He charged towards Shen Ji like a cheetah.

Shen Ji's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the other's movements. The moment the other got close, he raised his hand to block.

But the other party's strength was greater than he had imagined. It felt like he had crashed into a piece of steel, and his arm was numb from the shock.

The other person chuckled softly, and its long arms snaked around his neck.

Shen Ji gritted his teeth, sidestepped to block the other's hand, and then raised his knee to strike the other's abdomen.

The opponent had no choice but to withdraw and defend, but his target was not the opponent's abdomen at all.

The knee that had been striking paused in mid-air, then the long leg extended and delivered a powerful kick to the opponent's groin.

This was a dirty trick taught to him by his senior brother: fights must be quick and decisive, as prolonged battles are bad for everyone. If you know that there is a significant disparity in strength between you and your opponent, then you must focus on attacking their weak points.

As expected, the other party's expression changed, and he could only continue to retreat to avoid his attacks.

In a fight, you gain the upper hand.

Having lost the initiative, Shen Ji clenched his fists and launched a fierce attack, forcing his opponent to retreat several meters in one go.

Shen Ji punched KING again. Just as he was about to continue, the other man suddenly stopped and then took the punch without hesitation.

boom!

Shen Ji was taken aback.

The next second, KING laughed and grabbed his hand, pulled him sharply in front of him, and delivered a knee kick to his abdomen.

Shen Ji felt an instant, sharp pain, as if his internal organs had shifted. Before he could even cry out, King struck him on the neck with his elbow as he bent over.

Suddenly everything went black, and the world spun around him. Gritting his teeth, Shen Ji simply grabbed the other person's waist and charged forward like an ox plowing the field, disregarding everything else.

He vaguely remembered that there should have been a one-meter-high ridge behind KING.

The immense force and inertia caused both of them to fall off the ridge.

Even so, Shen Ji did not give up.

He was like a madman who was willing to risk everything, grinning sinisterly as he raised his hand to remove the other person's mask.

But the moment his hand touched the mask, KING kicked him away, sending him flying. He slammed hard onto the ridge of the field, causing the soil on the ridge to fall down in a flurry.

KING also crashed heavily onto the uneven soil in the field.

He looked up, perhaps not expecting this little brat to be so crazy, and his face turned gloomy and disheveled for a moment.

Both of them stared intently at each other, neither making a move immediately.

After a brief silence, the two of them, like puppets suddenly brought back to life, suddenly charged at each other again.

The battle was fierce. Shen Ji used almost everything he had learned and all his underhanded tricks, but in front of his opponent, he was still like a little chick being teased.

Only when he was knocked unconscious did he let out a regretful groan.

Miscalculated.

If I had known, I wouldn't have let his second uncle leave first; at least he would have had a powerful helper.

Zhao Tong was with them when they arrived, so they came in two cars.

When they returned, there was only one car left. Zhao Tong had taken one when he left earlier, and there wasn't enough room in the other car. Zhu Rong and the others were bodyguards, so they couldn't leave Shen Jiyuan and Shen Ji.

So the owner of the farmhouse had no choice but to call a black cab to take them to the county, which cost 50 yuan.

Now look what's happened; the expert is gone, and he's run away too.

And then he ran into such a tough nut to crack. He should have known better than to run away!

-

When Shen Ji woke up, his nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant. He was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes.

The ceiling was snow-white, and there was a lot of medical equipment around. It looked like a hospital ward.

Beside the hospital bed, a nurse was patting his arm, apparently wanting to draw blood.

Shen Ji was so frightened that he tried to pull his hand back, but although his brain had the idea, his hand seemed to have a mind of its own, limp and motionless.

He was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale.

What's going on?

"Who are you?!" Shen Ji stared coldly at the person holding the needle to his arm. "What do you want?!"

When the nurse saw that he had woken up, she paused for a moment but didn't say anything. Instead, she lowered her eyes, inserted the needle into his vein, and then drew out several tubes of blood.

Shen Ji gritted her teeth, trying to resist, but her body wouldn't obey her commands.

It was as if his nerves and body had separated.

After the nurse finished doing all that, she said, "You should get some rest," and then left with the tray.

Shen Ji took a deep breath: [Where am I? What's going on with me?]

[Host, you've been injected with a muscle relaxant, which is why you can't exert any strength.]

"[Current location...]" Sijiu checked and said, "[It should still be in Qingfeng County, but I can't see the exact location due to signal interference.]"

Is there anyone who can still interfere with you?

[My current access is limited; I'm just a top-tier hacker. Anyone with similar or superior skills can interfere with my signal.]

You useless piece of trash.

【…】

Why are they drawing my blood? Wow, did they find out about you and want to drag me into some secret research?

Sijiu was speechless for a moment: [You have quite the imagination.]

Shen Ji shook his aching neck: [Was I brought here directly after I fainted? Is this a hospital?]

It's probably not a hospital.

[Not a good hospital?]

Sijiu calmly replied, "I just scanned this place. Although there are many signal jammers, this should just be an underground research facility."

[After you passed out, King carried you into his car and brought you to this place. Midway through, my signal was jammed and I was disconnected. When I woke up, I was in the same situation as you, only able to see this place.]

Shen Ji responded with an "Oh": [Where are my dad and the others? Did you tell them?]

I've sent them a message, but I don't know if they'll receive it.

Okay.
