Well, that one sentence said it all. Even an idiot could understand the man's real reason for refusing them.
It was simply to keep Shi Li out.
But by now, Shi Zhiyan was certain.
"Lili, wanna do this? If so, take a step back," Shi Zhiyan said, turning to Shi Li.
After Shi Li nodded and took two steps back, Shi Zhiyan shot forward, appearing right in front of the researcher in an instant.
The man shrieked in terror.
Shi Zhiyan just lifted the man right up.
No matter how responsible the two guards were for the institute's security, they were ultimately soldiers under Shi Zhiyan's command.
They considered making a move but ultimately suppressed the urge.
He was not someone they could afford to offend.
"He fainted already? Pathetic," Shi Zhiyan said, tossing the researcher aside with a look of disgust.
Then, he pulled Shi Li into the research institute.
Only when they were inside did Shi Li realize just how many people were there.
It was like a massive conference hall.
