Well uhm I should have announced this last Sat.u.r.day but I'm too busy soo I'll send the link regarding the event for

@Aeternatrix cough announce this in the next updates

Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and looked at Shen Jiawei, "Have you ever seen the appearance of No.2?"

Shen Jiawei shook his head.

"So, while you and Shen Jiayi were detained there, have you always been together?” Shen Yanxiao asked again.

"No, sister and I were not in the same place. She was taken to another place. I only met her later." Shen Jiawei wondered why Shen Yanxiao's expression became so ugly, and spoke more carefully.

Shen Yanxiao's face darkened, her fingers clasped the armrest.

She finally knew why she felt strange.

With the capabilities of those Warlocks, it was absolutely impossible for people to easily discover them. With their methods, even the failed products must be completely destroyed. So it was absolutely impossible for Shen Jiayi and the other new test subjects to have escaped safe and sound.

Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei’s arrival to The Rising Sun City was definitely not that simple.

Shen Jiawei might not know anything, but Shen Jiayi...

Shen Yanxiao clearly remembered that when Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei were finding trouble for her in the school tournament, Lan Fengli was at her side, and Lan Fengli had also attacked Shen Jiayi!

Shen Jiayi was separated from Shen Jiawei during the experimentation period. No one knew whether those people had shown Shen Jiayi the portrait of Lan Fengli or not!

With Shen Jiayi's character, Shen Yanxiao feared that she had hated her to the bones for a long time. Despite that, Shen Jiayi actually agreed with Shen Jiawei's proposal to come to The Rising Sun City, to her.

But during this period of time, Shen Jiayi’s performance did not show any signs of softness and awakening.

All these things made Shen Yanxiao feel suspicious. Now, with Shen Jiawei’s news, Shen Yanxiao was almost certain that Shen Jiawei and Shen Jiayi’s escape was absolutely not an accident. She was afraid that someone had deliberately created this opportunity, letting this pair of siblings flee to The Rising Sun City and win their sympathy with the bitter experiences of the two of them so that she would allow them to stay in her city!

As to not make Shen Yanxiao suspicious and also because Shen Jiawei could still be saved with medicine[1], not only had Shen Jiayi kept quiet about the matter with Shen Jiawei, she had even used him as her cover.

All in order for Shen Jiayi to stay in The Rising Sun City and find that No.2 for that group of people.

With all the clues in line, Shen Yanxiao was already clear on the ins and outs of the matter.

Probably, as early as she appeared in front of people with Vermillion Bird, that group of people had already suspected that the disappearance of No. 2 was related to her. However, she was already in the Barren Land; even if they wanted to pursue it, they would have some scruples. Now that the Vermillion Bird Clan had been moved to The Rising Sun City, Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei were the best excuse.

"Truly good at playing chess!" Shen Yanxiao's mouth carried the trace of a sneer, her gloomy eyes making people feel dread.

Shen Jiawei subconsciously shrunk his neck.

Shen Yanxiao looked at Shen Jiawei and said, "Why did you say this to me? Isn't Shen Jiayi your sister?"

Shen Jiawei paused and gritted his teeth, "She is my sister, and the closest person to me. It is because of that that I didn't want to see her deep in the mud. City Lord, I know now that I am different from you. Neither I nor my elder sister can be your opponent. I just want to live well now. I am atoning for everything I did before and praying that you will forgive me. I just want my life to be safe and secure. And I don't want to see my sister make a mistake again because I know she can’t be your opponent no matter what she tries to do.”
