Chapter 277

"Jane, why are you thinking about her?" Bryan asked with a puzzled face. Jane's bright eyes dimmed a little, and lowered her head, "Brother Jordan, Jane just had a dream about her..." Jordan hugged Jane in his arms, thinking of how Jane was frightened when she woke up with a pillow covered by Ariana. His heart ached. Even though they didn't want Jane to know about these things. But... "Don't be afraid, Jane. She's not dead," Jordan said. "When we came back from Mountain Everest last time, John and I originally planned to send her to a mental hospital. But before she could even leave the Smith family's doorstep, she tried to commit suicide by hitting a wall. Steve doesn't care about her. But John and I couldn't bear to let her die, so we rushed her to the hospital. But..." "Jordan, stop beating around the bush, what happened to her?" Bryan was somewhat impatient. "She was saved, but she became vegetative," Jordan said with a sigh. "And during the rescue, the doctor found a chip in her brain." A chip... installed in her brain? This kind of method... Jane was momentarily stunned. She thought all that past messy stuff was long gone, but she didn't expect it to come back. Her pale and tender hand caught Jordan’s large hand, "Brother Jordan, what about that chip?" "Lucas took it!" Said Jordan with a hint of confusion, "Lucas said he was going to study the chip. Jane, why are you looking for the chip?" Jane felt her heart jump into her throat immediately. Control people with a chip... She thought that when she traveled back, those people and things from the past would no longer be related to her. But she didn't anticipate... She was too careless. She hurriedly dialed Lucas's number, but she waited until the call ended, and all she received was a mechanical busy tone. Jane clenched her phone tightly, her clear eyes darkening like black jade. "Brother Jordan, let's go find Brother Lucas!" "Okay!" Jordan ordered the driver to drive to the research institute without a second thought. However, when they arrived at the research institute, they learned from Lucas's colleague, Sylas, that Lucas had left three hours ago after receiving a call. Jane looked up at Sylas with her round and rosy face, her eyes filled with worry, "Sylas, do you know where my Brother Lucas went?" Sylas shook his head blankly, "I don't know." "But..." Sylas furrowed his brows and continued, "Jane, Lucas has been quite strange recently." "The state had originally assigned people to secretly protect our safety, but a month ago, Lucas suddenly applied for all the people protecting him to be withdrawn," said Sylas. Upon hearing Sylas's words, Jordan finally became anxious, "Damn, what on earth is Lucas doing? Is he courting death?" "Why are you suddenly so concerned about him? Is there something going on in his family, or are you worried..." Sylas didn't finish his sentence but took a major turn, "If necessary, I can apply to find Lucas at all costs immediately." Jane looked up at Sylas calmly, "Sylas, there's no need for that at the moment. If necessary, I will ask for your help." "Understood!" Sylas nodded, "Jane, if you need any help, just say it." Jane and Bryan followed Jordan back into the car. Jane took out the butterfly that Lucas had given her, "Go find Brother Lucas!" However, as her instructions went out, two red lights illuminated the butterfly's antennae. This time, even Bryan knew the seriousness of the situation. With slight tremors in his voice, he asked Jane, "Little sis, you ordered this damn butterfly to find Lucas, what does the red light mean?" Jane's face became more serious, "Brother Lucas has actively cut off contact with the butterfly, it can't find him anymore!" The original purpose of Brother Lucas giving her this butterfly was so that she could find him no matter when and where through it, but now... No matter how much Jane forced herself to remain calm, she felt tearful. She dared not think about why Lucas would even cut off contact with the butterfly, let alone what had happened to him. Bryan opened the car door, ready to disembark, "I'll go get Sylas's help. Lucas has researched so many high-tech things for the country, the state won't neglect him." "Come back here!" Jordan dragged Bryan back. Bryan was also in a hurry, "Jordan, what are you doing? Are you hoping for Lucas to die just because he always argues with you? We're in this situation, instead of seeking help from our country, what else do you want to do?" Jane wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, knowing that Jordan was thinking the same as her. Indeed, it was precisely because of the current situation that they couldn't ask for the country's help. In the world before she had time-travelled, Lucas was last seen with a spy from another country. As a result, he later faced countless interrogations. Despite not fearing the investigation, he was unable to withstand the malicious intent of a few rogue individuals within the team, who sought to frame him. In the end, he died unjustly, bearing the blame of being a traitor! Jordan had dreamt of these events. Now John, Samuel, and even Bryan have already encountered the fatal crisis from the dream. Only Lucas has remained unharmed till now. Now that Lucas has disappeared, Jordan naturally thought of that dream. Jordan rubbed his brows and said, "Bryan, I will take you home first!" “I won’t go back!”, Bryan roared defiantly: "Last time when John and Jane had an accident, you guys left me at home. Now that Lucas is in trouble, you guys want to leave me at home again, I won't accept! I want to go with you guys to find Lucas ” Jane gently grabbed Bryan's hand, "Brother, don't make a fuss, let's listen to Brother Jordan, let's go home first!" Bryan's temperamental mood calmed down instantly. Although he was still a bit dissatisfied, he crossed his arms over his chest, turned his face towards the window, and remained silent in a huff.
