Chapter 2224: Done and Dusted

Gu Zhiqi nodded at Qiao Qingshu, then looked at Zhong Li, "Treat Professor Zhong Li as well."

Zhong Li seemed to have been tortured; he had many injuries.

Qiao Qingshu nodded and walked towards Zhong Li.

During Qiao Qingshu’s treatment of Zhong Li, Gu Zhiqi glanced at Nangong Chu, "Any survivors?"

Nangong Chu: "Left a few."

"Question them, see if you can find other hideouts. There are test subjects in the other laboratory. Once confirmed, send them back. The experimental data... just destroy it."

Experiments conducted by Angel lacked humanity, and such experiments had no research value.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Chu promptly nodded, "Okay."

After instructing them, Gu Zhiqi packed away the Puppet Wood under everyone’s gaze, then walked to Su Yunle’s side, picked up the still-unconscious Su Yunling horizontally, "I’ll leave now."

Everyone instinctively divided into two rows, making a path for Gu Zhiqi.

After dealing with Angel’s matters, Gu Zhiqi took Su Yunling to Xilu Villa District.

He fed him some soul-nourishing medicine, but he still didn’t wake up.

By the second day, before anyone thought of waking, someone else came looking for them.

When the doorbell rang, Gu Zhiqi was upstairs in a room reading a book.

Upon hearing the doorbell, Gu Zhiqi went downstairs.

Walking to the door, he opened it and saw Zhong Li and Tang Yichen standing there.

As soon as he saw Gu Zhiqi, Tang Yichen raised his hand high and greeted Gu Zhiqi, "Gu Xiaoxi!"

Gu Zhiqi raised his eyebrows at him, didn’t speak, and directly opened the door, "Something up?"

Tang Yichen shook his head, "Not me, Professor Zhong Li has something for you, but I’m here for Third Brother, has he woken up yet?"

"Not yet." Gu Zhiqi said as he moved aside, addressing the two, "Coming in?"

After they came in, Gu Zhiqi closed the door and proceeded to the living room.

"Sit down." Gu Zhiqi said, poured each of them a cup of tea, and then looked at Zhong Li, asking, "Professor Zhong Li, something you need from me?"

Zhong Li nodded, but after nodding, he didn’t immediately speak. Instead, he sat holding the teacup for several seconds. It was only after several seconds that he said to Gu Zhiqi, "Sorry."

Gu Zhiqi: ?

"Why apologize to me suddenly?"

Zhong Li, looking serious: "I’ve remembered everything from back then. The experiment you and Shuan worked on, which you terminated, I continued researching on my own. The research resulted in the creation of the Soul Exchange Device."

"The Wisdom Angel within Angel was formerly my assistant."

"He secretly read my experimental journal, learned that I developed the Soul Exchange Device, and then kidnapped me to Angel’s headquarters, forcibly extracting my memory."

"If I hadn’t insisted on continuing the research, they wouldn’t have been able to create the Soul Exchange Device and harm so many people."

As Zhong Li spoke, his head drooped, eyes filled with pain.

After listening to Zhong Li, Gu Zhiqi shook his head, "No need for apologies, this wasn’t your fault."

Zhong Li: "But..."

Gu Zhiqi: "They were the ones with malicious intentions. Why should you blame yourself? Even without you, they would find someone else and force them to conduct research."

Didn’t Tang Shuan get captured before?

After hearing this, Zhong Li was silent, though his heart still felt guilt.

If only he hadn’t continued the research back then...
