Jiang Yuning scrambled for an explanation when he saw that she was quiet. "It's not that I don't care about you. It's just that I have a duty and responsibility as a scientist. If I hand my work over, I'll be doing more harm to a lot of people. So don't be hurt. If you're not around, I'll join you over on the other side. I'll never leave you alone."
"Don't say such things." Nian Xi reached out to hold him. "I'm a police officer, after all. I understand the importance of the greater good, and I know that you're doing the right thing. I just want to shoulder this together with you. Besides, will you be alright with leaving me? Won't you be worried?"
"Your brother and father will protect you," Jiang Yuning replied confidently. "Once I leave, Xu Gang will be arresting the people around here, and you'll be safe after that. If you leave with me, you'll be in more danger. You have to spare a thought for your family."
