After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 514 - 509: I, Risking It All!

The neon lights of the city sparkled, intermingling with the delicate snowflakes to form a dark and hauntingly beautiful scene. Biting cold wind swept through, lifting the snow off the ground, only to drop it a few dozen centimeters above onto a pair of bloodstained white shoes, obscuring their original appearance, then melting into droplets.

At their feet lay bodies, scattered haphazardly.

Some of them still breathed feebly, while others had been chilled through and through by the snowy, cold night.

The owner of the shoes moved forward a few steps, her slim hand reaching down to pick up equipment that had fallen into the snow, now mixed with bloodstained water.

Sound came from the door leading to the rooftop.

Looking up, she saw Shen Wenhong’s dark silhouette.

His gaze toward Shen Yan was equally cold and foreboding.

"It’s you."

He almost yelled, but the sound that escaped was not loud, but rather, a repressed hoarseness.

Shen Yan suddenly gave him a faint smile, though there was not a trace of smiling in her eyes.

"Dr. Shen," Shen Yan took a few slow steps toward him, her young figure standing still amidst the falling snow, against the backdrop of thousands of household lights, yet none of that light revealed a hint of warmth, "do you know, I’ve waited far too long for this day."

"You expose yourself in front of me, thinking you can escape? Before you do anything else, I’ll break your wings."

"I know Dr. Shen is capable of that," Shen Yan flicked off the snowflakes from her sleeve deliberately, a chilling smile emerging as she raised her eyes, "The relationship between Dr. Shen and Dr. Jian is indeed rare in this world. Even when Dr. Jian is in grave danger, you would risk your life to save her."

"Shen Yan, stop with your eerie banter. Everything you say and do today, we will record clearly," Shen Wenhong turned back to ask, "Did you get all that?"

The person following Shen Wenhong nodded, "It’s all recorded."

"The scene before us, neither your research institute nor the people around you have ever witnessed, I presume," Shen Wenhong, upon knowing everything had been recorded, did not bother with idle talk with Shen Yan.

Seeing Shen Wenhong gesture to the person beside him to send the footage, Shen Yan took half a step forward.

"Snicker."

"Bang!"

Something heavy struck the iron door. The person reacted quickly, but the phone still dropped to the ground.

The things that had yet to be sent out were still playing on the screen.

It was the scene on the rooftop in front of them.

Shen Yan slightly narrowed her eyes, looking up at the sky, "The time is almost right, the items to be sent have probably reached the person they’re meant for. Dr. Shen, shall we bet on our luck?"

"Click."

Shen Yan’s equipment was loaded, aimed straight ahead as she held it up.

Shen Wenhong’s companions reacted swiftly, standing off against Shen Yan.

"We have four people here, you are alone. Do you think you have a chance? Shen Yan, now you can tell me, who are you really?" Shen Wenhong took a step forward, standing at the forefront, his eyes fixed coldly on Shen Yan, as if trying to see through her true appearance.

Shen Yan smiled slightly, "What, Dr. Shen doesn’t know who I am?"

"Shen Yan, stop with the pretense."

"How is this pretense?" Shen Yan adjusted the position of her equipment slowly, "After all, Dr. Shen has lived abroad for so long, you even misuse domestic expressions," she said as she pointed her weapon, "Do you still remember your eldest daughter, Dr. Shen?"

The words hit Shen Wenhong like a thunderbolt, freezing him to the core.

His whole body stiffened in an instant, and his gaze at Shen Yan altered, tinged with fear that flickered rapidly, but Shen Yan caught it nonetheless.

Catching such an expression in Shen Wenhong’s eyes was quite ironic.

How could such a cold-blooded and ruthless person be scared? Aren’t they supposed to fear nothing, not heaven nor earth?

"Who the hell are you," Shen Wenhong nearly lost control and roared.

Shen Yan smiled faintly, without speaking, and instead glanced at the time, "The material I prepared has already been sent out, Dr. Shen, after tonight, your and Jian Yu’s reputations are likely going to be destroyed in an instant."

Shen Wenhong, apparently thinking of something, his eyes shifting from terror to panic: "What have you done!"

Shen Yan’s smile was desolate, "As for me, I’ve revealed my true self, sparing no effort."

The presence of the base team kept many from being able to sleep.

Even the slightest noise discovered in the middle of the night would startle them awake.

The research institute was suffering the most.

Professor Lin and others followed the dean to conduct further research within the institute’s interior. Everyone was of a certain age, and having worked indoors for years, their bodies could hardly endure staying up all night.

Professor Lin was sound asleep on a desk covered with files when Vice Dean Shao strode across to the other side, where several younger researchers were poring over data found on the computer.

Catching a glimpse of Professor Lin about to slip off the chair, Shao quickly stepped over to catch him, moving the little heater aside a bit, and felt Professor Lin’s feet with his hand—they were cold.

Professor Lin was woken by his actions, "What’s the status, did you find anything?"

"Nothing at all," Vice Dean Shao threw a coat over him, "Go and lie down in the rest room inside, don’t be in the way here."

"I’ll just sit here, I’m not bothering any of you."

"You’re in the way."

"..." Professor Lin moved the coat aside, "I’ll keep looking."

"All the material from overseas is on the computer, are you familiar with operating it?" Vice Dean Shao pushed him slightly, impatiently saying, "When I tell you to rest, you rest, don’t be a nuisance to us."

"This is a major issue for everyone, how can I rest..."

Before Professor Lin could finish speaking, a young researcher from the other side suddenly let out a horrified cry, "Vice Dean Shao, come quick, there’s been a serious incident!"

Vice Dean Shao’s complexion changed, and he hurried over, "What did you find?"

"It’s this, just sent in by someone, seems like it was a timed transmission, videos and photos, along with quite a few text documents—this, this is material from the overseas base’s laboratory!" The young researcher pointed at the photos and documents on the computer with a pale face, eyes wide open.

Vice Dean Shao and Professor Lin had just finished reading the first page, and their faces turned ashen.

Professor Lin’s pupils suddenly constricted!

"What is this, live genetic research..."

Combining the photos and the text description, one didn’t need to read further to realize what it was.

The laboratory personnel, after viewing the first page, turned a deathly pale, eyes filled with horror!

Someone was conducting such research!

It was inhumane!

The contents of the second page were even more infuriating and nauseating...

Not only the research institutes but also the higher-ups received this set of materials at the same time. Within the cybersecurity department, some incriminating materials about Jian Yu also began to leak.

No matter which research facility it was, they all received this timed transmission.

Security personnel within the base were desperately trying to stop it, and with their appearance, the cyber experts like IF God and his team also closely followed, chasing them and blocking them on the outside.

"Smack!"

In the dull interior, Shen Ning was jolted awake in the middle of the night by this disturbance. She merely glanced at the contents inside, startled enough to drop her phone to the ground without even noticing, her eyes fixedly staring into the void, forgetting to think.
