Chapter 281

"Boom!" A series of explosions sounded causing the entire building to shake violently. Frederick frowned, "Riley, take Lucas and Jane away!" A moment of hesitation passed in Riley's eyes. The next moment, Jane felt herself being lifted into the air. She didn't even have time to question Frederick before being flown out. The long metal corridor receded into the distance along with the violent explosion sounds, and the brilliant explosion lights gradually faded away. In just a split second, Riley had landed in the forest, five hundred meters away from the building, with her and Lucas. The moment they landed, they were surrounded. A team of soldiers, dressed in camouflage and fully armed, pointed their guns at them, "Who are you? Set down Doctor Wallace!" Jane looked at the post-modern building, already turned into a sea of fire, filled with worry. Just as she was about to reveal her identity, she saw Frederick throw Shadow Three and Shadow Seven on the ground, "She’s Lucas’s younger sister. With your speed, Lucas will already be a cold corpse by the time you arrive to save him!" “Mr. Fuller…” Shadow Leader, the leader of the Shadowless Team, had his face painted with camouflage colors so his expression was unreadable. However, from his voice, one could tell how embarrassed and apologetic he felt. The Shadowless Team members are the elites chosen from special forces to protect national treasure-level scientists like Lucas. This time, the spies from Country D tried to trick Lucas into giving them the data on his latest research. Although they were meticulous in their planning, Lucas still managed to detect their traces. After reporting, Lucas aims to turn the tables and lure out the enemy spies to capture them. However, while Lucas is proceeding methodically according to plan, their Shadow Team has become a drag. Other than the hypnotized Shadow Three and Shadow Seven, everyone else assigned to execute the mission with Lucas has fallen in action. … "Lucas is severely frostbitten and was deprived of oxygen for an extended period of time. Send him back for immediate medical attention," Frederick said coldly. Shadow Leader immediately started mobilizing his Shadow Team. Frederick walked up to Jane, "Lucas will be sent to the highest-level confidential hospital in the country for treatment, so don't worry." Jane looked up at Frederick, her face filled with astonishment. Before she could ask a question, Frederick took the initiative to explain: "I accepted their sincere invitation to serve as a special advisor to their research institute because of Lucas's sincere invitation. Your escape just now was possible because I had designed a flying device during my spare time. If you want, I can give you one to play with." He answered all the possible questions that Jane might have in one breath, but those clear and bright eyes of hers remained fixed on him. After a long pause, he finally said, "Jane, I've known for a long time that you came here from the future. When you first broke into the Fuller family's internal network and saw my personal profile, I confirmed your identity." Jane lowered her head. Actually, she was quite happy playing the part of a four-year-old now. Now a person other than Lucas suddenly knew she'd time-traveled, she didn't know how to react. Seemingly reading her thoughts, Frederick reached out and ruffled her soft hair, "Whether you're from the future or the past, in my eyes, you'll always be my little Jane." Upon hearing this, Jane's eyes instantly regained their galactic brilliance. Her twinkling eyes blinked at Frederick, "Brother Frederick, did I know you before I time-traveled? The big brother with the silver mask, was that you?" Frederick was taken aback. When he saw the silver mask revealed by Judson Leo, he saw Jane's expression, he worried that she would mistake him and feel heartbroken and lost. He was surprised at how quickly she regained her composure. He smiled, "Yes, it was." Jane suddenly spread her soft, tender arms and bolted towards him, hugging his waist tightly, "Big brother, it really is you, thank you so much!" Frederick once again ruffled her supple hair, "We need to go back, otherwise your other brothers and sisters will start worrying." --- "Master, they have escaped." The person from country D, trembling, reported to Judson on bended knees, his face sweating in fear. Judson's brush swept across the paper, "With him there, did you really think they could be held back by mere trifles? It was simply all in jest!" --- Jane and Frederick returned to the villa, where William was anxiously pacing at the doorstep. William hurried over as soon as he saw Frederick's car pull up, "Little Miss, why have you just returned now? The young master and the others are upset, they're all waiting for you at Fuller's place!" Jane: "..." Just as expected, she was glad she prepared ahead of time. Upon returning to Frederick's villa, surely enough, John, Bryan, Harold, and Mina are all sitting with full vigor on the sofa. Jane, playing with her small toy, threw herself into John's arms, "Big Brother, how come you all are here?" John, looking at her smiling like a blooming flower, felt his previous displeasure dissolve in an instant. Hands cupping her fluffy little face, "Where did you run off to with Frederick again?" Jane did not reply, instead, she ran towards Frederick. Taking a large bag from Frederick's hands, she started to lug it over to the coffee table. "Brothers, Sister, look what delicious treats Jane bought you!" Upon hearing about snacks, Bryan and Mina instantly forgot about their intention to give Frederick a piece of their mind for whisking away their little sister. They rushed to open the bag and the food containers. Spicy rabbit heads, spicy rabbit legs, cold rabbit, there was even a pot of fresh hot rabbit stew. Bryan and Mina began drooling in an instant. Without considering himself as an outsider, shouted, "Garry, get us some bowl and chopsticks!" Garry is the cook in Frederick's house. During this period, Bryan already treated him like a brother. Since Fendi cooks according to the nutritionist's dietary plan which is rather bland, after getting chummy with Frederick and Garry, Bryan got the habit of coming over for some spicy dishes from Garry every now and then. Right when they started eating, Mina, who was merrily devouring a rabbit head, happened to notice Frederick elegantly using a set of dissecting tools to dismantle a rabbit head — choosing the edible part and putting it into Jane's bowl. With contempt in her eyes, Mina looked at him, "Your way of eating, will make the rabbit restless in the afterlife!" "Hmm? Why?" asked Jane, tilting her head in confusion while looking at her sister, her bright big eyes fill with perplexity. "It's because gnawing with your teeth and hands is the last respect to the rabbit head!" Said Mina seriously. She wriggled her greasy little fingers at Jane, "But you don't have to worry about these tiny details. Just eat it if he has already pulled it apart for you!" However... As soon as Mina finished speaking, John moved Jane's bowl and herself away from Frederick's side, "You don't need him to pull it apart for you, Big Brother will do it for you!"
