Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 793: Secret Base

She had just run into the living room, not stopping, and went straight upstairs, rushing into Qin Nanyu’s room and searched inside and out.

Confirming that no one was there, she then went to the study.

Finally, from the study to the guest rooms, and then to the training room...

She had searched most of the Qin Family Villa, running until she was covered in sweat, yet she hadn’t found the slightest trace of Qin Nanyu.

The villa’s eerily quiet atmosphere seemed to tell her that its master was not there.

But Qin Nanyu had been missing for a full two days now. He hadn’t gone to the company or the laboratory, nor was he at home. Where could he be?

Ji Weitian considered every place she could think of; the more she thought, the worse her complexion became. When she turned around, she almost ran into the butler who was behind her. The butler quickly reached out to support her.

"Are you really unaware of Qin Nanyu’s whereabouts?" Ji Weitian grabbed the butler’s arm as if it were her last lifeline.

"Miss Ji..." The butler hesitated in his expression.

"I just want to confirm his safety. If you know where he is, tell me now. Whatever happens, I will take responsibility!" Ji Weitian caught the unusual look on the butler’s face, her voice slightly grave.

Butler: "...Young Master Yu instructed not to let anyone disturb him."

After the butler finished speaking, he himself felt that his words were inappropriate.

Qin Nanyu used to give such instructions when he sequestered himself, but at that time, he had not yet met Ji Weitian.

To now put Ji Weitian in the "anyone" category would probably destine his Young Master to singlehood for life.

The butler hesitated for only a second before immediately correcting himself: "Young Master Yu is in his own laboratory. I will take Miss Ji there."

Ji Weitian was led by the butler to the basement, where upon sighting the transformed basement and the evidently heavily secured entrance, her gaze shifted slightly...

She had stayed at the Qin Family Villa for a while and had no idea that beneath the villa lay such a unique basement.

"Is Qin Nanyu in there?" Ji Weitian pointed to the door before her and turned her head to ask the butler.

The butler nodded his head as if wary of something, he didn’t elaborate further, gesturing for Ji Weitian to enter by herself then he left.

Ji Weitian raised her hand to knock on the door and noticed there was a surveillance camera.

As she approached, the screen instantly captured her face. Just as she worried that an alarm might suddenly go off, she indeed heard a "click" sound near her ear.

However, it wasn’t an alarm, but the sound of the door lock verifying her face and the automatic door opening.

She had never been here before, so why could the lock on Qin Nanyu’s laboratory recognize her face and unlock the door for her?

What was Qin Nanyu doing all by himself in the laboratory?

A rush of questions flooded Ji Weitian’s mind in an instant. She steadied herself and then walked inside.

When she entered the laboratory, she found it was much larger than she had imagined, and what she’d just gone through was only the first door.

Before her was a long corridor, as if a vast area was divided into several parts, with no end in sight.

This was a completely automated space.

All she saw was an array of experimental equipment filling the area, devoid of any human presence.

Fortunately, every door that Ji Weitian passed through automatically recognized her identity and granted her access.

Following the signs above each area’s door and on the floor, she finally found the control room.

Taking a deep breath, she gently pushed open the door before her—
