"Do you know some self-defense?" She asked him. Li Nuxie knew that her brother would be able to defend himself should the need arose. However, she was not sure with Huang Wensheng.
"I-I -"
"I'll look after him," Li Chao cut Huang Wensheng. No matter what, they cannot just ignore the kid.
She nodded. Once she crossed the line that separated the laser beams from them, time would be of the essence. She hoped it was that easy to dance thru those beams.
"Let's do this then," Li Nuxie said, taking a deep breath.
Huang Wensheng grasped Li Chao's arm. "Will she be alright?" he asked.
"She needs to," Li Chao replied. His face was grim.

Why do they need to go for that One Billion? It was not as if they were starving and deprived of basic things in life. But Li Chao knew that Li Nuxie would not take the things lying down. She would definitely not give her opponents the opportunity to trample her.
Li Chao didn't even blink when Li Nuxie cartwheeled towards those lights. His breath was caught in his throat as his eyes followed every movement of Li Nuxie. The laser beam was enough to see her sister. After some time, their eyes got used to the darkness.
Her sister didn't lie when she said she took ballet cla.s.ses. Although it cannot be considered as a ballet. It was more of interpretative dance. Li Chao didn't dare breathe loudly for fear of distracting Li Nuxie.
As seconds tick by, the laser beams became faster but Li Nuxie didn't even reach the middle part of the tunnel.
"Come on elder sister. You can do it," Huang Wensheng was muttering under his breath. His grip on Li Chao's arm went tighter.
However, Li Chao didn't notice it. If Li Nuxie cannot reach the end of the tunnel, she will suffer injuries or worse, lose her life.
Li Nuxie can feel the sweat trickling down at the side of her face. But she cannot stop right now. The laser beams went faster. If she was correct, it have been moving faster by five seconds.
She tightened her lips as she glided through the dancing lights. This kind of laser beams were not the same as those in museums or high-level offices. This laser beams were specifically made to kill people.
Li Nuxie realized it when she got caught by one second. It burnt the protective suit she was wearing. The part suddenly went black and a puff of smoke emerged from that.
"Xiexie!" Li Chao saw it. He badly want to go to his sister but Li Nuxie's stern voice stopped him.
"Just stay there!" Li Nuxie said, her face was devoid of any emotion. If Li Chao didn't know his sister's voice, he might doubt if it was really his sister who said that. So there he was, watching his sister played with death for the sake of One Billion dollars.
At the monitoring room, a woman's voice went on air.
Intruder detected at the first level.
Intruder detected at the first level.
The man who was currently playing with his ashtray threw it on the wall. Good thing it was made of marble. It didn't break.
"Incompetent bunch of fools!" He pointed his fingers towards the people inside. Those people further lowered their heads.
In their hearts, they were complaining. How come they became incompetent bunch of fools? Was it not that the opponent was just better than the rest of them?
"Activate the first line of defense!" the man ordered.
"Right away, sir!" the head of the team keyed in some codes on his laptop before exhaling.
On the other hand, Xu Wei and his two friends were sitting leisurely at the sofa. The three of them were monitoring the monitoring room. No pun intended. When they heard the man ordered to activate the first line of defense, smiles hovered on their lips.
Xu Wei raised his eyebrow as his hand grasped a cup of tea. Not bad, he thought. For a woman to come this far, indeed worthy to be his woman.
The two other men inside the room didn't speak at all but the atmosphere inside was apparently good. They just exchanged glances but no one dared to talk. Although too early to proclaim victory, at least, they were 45 percent nearer the goal.
Just a little bit more, Li Nuxie pushed herself to try harder. Her limbs were already stiff but she cannot stop. Suddenly, she heard a rumbling noise. Her eyes went on alert. Where did it come from?
Her eyes went wide as she realized it. "Drop on the floor!"
