Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

(Chapter 70 has been revised)

Gong Lin fell to the ground, and I scrambled over to help him up.

"Gong Lin! How are you?" He groaned, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"It's nothing, just a minor scratch." He forced himself to sit up, his eyes scanning his surroundings like a hawk, not missing a single detail. When facing danger, he was not only calm, but also possessed an innate domineering aura.

Damn!

The pale-faced man ran away, and several men in black appeared in the warehouse at some point, surrounding us.

"It seems we're surrounded." Gong Lin's voice was low and cold.

I gripped his hand tightly, a fear I had never felt before welling up inside me.

Although I am filled with fear, my experience of being harmed by a scumbag in my past life has given me a stubborn strength in my heart.

I gripped Gong Lin's hand tightly, a fear I had never felt before welling up inside me, but I knew I couldn't let myself be defeated like this.

The white-faced man's last words pierced my heart like a thorn, but I secretly vowed to uncover the truth behind it all, just as I wanted to take revenge on the scumbag from my past life. No matter what danger I faced, I would not back down.

Before I could think it through, a man in black came out, holding a gun and pointing it at us.

"Don't move! Hand over the space!" His hoarse voice carried a hint of greed.

That's when I realized that the white-faced guy's purpose wasn't to tell us any secrets at all, but to lure these people out!

"Space? What space?" I asked, trying to appear calm and not too scared.

The man in black sneered, "Stop pretending! We've been watching you for a long time! Your magical space can grow anything, and it can even change time! Hand it over, and maybe we'll spare your lives!"

Change the time?

My space simply doesn't have that capability!

Just then, the warehouse door was suddenly kicked open, and blinding light shone in.

A group of people in police uniforms rushed in, led by Officer Chen.

"Police! Don't move!"

Officer Chen's appearance relieved both Gong Lin and me. It seemed we were saved.

However, the men in black did not surrender; instead, they opened fire on us even more frantically.

Gong Lin pulled me to avoid the bullets, and said in a low voice, "It seems that things are more complicated than we thought."

"White face...who exactly is he?" I asked, panting heavily.

"I'm afraid he's more than just a corporate spy." Gong Lin's eyes were deep, as if he had thought of something.

Gunshots and sirens rang out, creating a deafening cacophony.

My head was buzzing, and everything seemed unreal.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, and before I could react, I felt a chill on my neck...

A cold dagger was pressed against my throat.

"If you don't want her to die, get out of my way!"

The coldness of the dagger made my whole body stiffen.

The shadowy figure slowly retreated, holding me hostage. The police officers, hesitant to act rashly, were afraid of causing serious injury.

Gong Lin's face was terribly gloomy, his fists were clenched, and his veins were bulging.

"Back off! Or I'll kill her!" The shadowy figure's voice was hoarse, tinged with madness.

He took me by the arm and led me step by step toward the warehouse door.

Officer Chen shouted anxiously, "Calm down! State your demands! But whatever you do, don't hurt the hostages!"

The shadowy figure sneered, "My demand is simple: let us go! Otherwise, she will die!"

I felt like I was having trouble breathing, and my heart was pounding.

Am I really going to die here today?

No, I can't die!

I still have a lot to do!

I want to get revenge on the scumbag from my past life, and I want to live happily ever after with Gong Lin!

I closed my eyes, concentrated, and felt the presence of space.

Yes, I still have one last trump card—my personal space!

"Release her!" Gong Lin's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor in it.

In the instant the shadowy figure was distracted, I activated the spatial teleportation function.

In an instant, a dazzling light emanated from my body, seemingly swallowing everything around me. A familiar dizziness washed over me, and when I opened my eyes again, I was no longer in the warehouse.

I stood in a quiet, deserted alley. The dark figure froze, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

And I was filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster; I had successfully outmaneuvered the guy who wanted to hurt me!

"Where is everyone? Where is everyone?" He looked around in panic, as if he had seen a ghost.

I took a deep breath and calmed my wildly beating heart. I'm safe!

Suddenly, a voice came from behind me: "Are you alright?"

I turned around and saw Gong Lin standing at the alley entrance, a hint of worry on his face, walking quickly toward me.

I shook my head and forced a smile: "I'm fine."

He pulled me into his arms and held me tightly, as if he wanted to meld me into his body.

I could feel his body trembling, and the worry and fear he was trying to suppress.

“Gong Lin…” I called his name softly, my heart filled with emotion and warmth.

"Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you." His voice was deep and firm, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Suddenly, the sound of a police siren came from afar, growing clearer and clearer as it approached.

"They're here." Gong Lin's tone was tinged with coldness.

I looked up into his eyes and asked, "Pale Face... and that mysterious organization, who exactly are they?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Gong Lin's lips as he slowly said, "They..."

He paused, his gaze deep and penetrating, as if he could see through everything. "It's far more dangerous than we imagined."

Gong Lin put his arm around my shoulder and led me to a relatively safe place, whispering, "That organization is called 'Night Owl,' and they specialize in illegal technology research and trading. They've been secretly searching for people or things with special abilities, and your space is one of their targets."

"Special abilities?" I frowned. "Besides being able to grow things, what other special abilities could my space possibly have?"

Gong Lin's eyes deepened: "They believe your space can alter time, and even travel through time and space. Of course, this is just their speculation, but based on this speculation alone, they are willing to do anything to you."

I felt a jolt in my heart, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.

Altering time, traversing time and space...

This sounds absolutely unbelievable!

In the distance, the gunfire inside the warehouse gradually subsided, while the sound of police sirens grew closer.

“It seems the ‘Night Owl’ team isn’t going to escape,” I said.

Gong Lin shook his head: "It's not that simple. The 'Night Owl's' influence is deeply entrenched, and it won't be easy to completely eradicate them."

Just then, several men in black escaped from the warehouse. They were all injured and looked panicked.

"Boss, we're surrounded! Retreat!" one of the men in black shouted.

The leader of the men in black, the same shadowy figure who had taken me hostage earlier, glared at him fiercely: "Shut up! Hold on! As long as we can escape, we still have a chance!"

However, his words had no effect, and the other men in black began to scatter and flee.

"A bunch of useless trash!" the shadowy figure cursed angrily, then turned to run away.

Just then, Gong Lin suddenly stepped forward and shouted, "'Night Owl' members, you are surrounded! Lay down your weapons and surrender! Everything you have done will be punished by law!"

The shadowy figure paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "The law? You think the law can punish us? We, 'Night Owls,' exist to challenge the law! To get everything we want!"

"Everything you want?" Gong Lin's tone was tinged with sarcasm, "including that 'time travel' ability that doesn't even exist?"

The shadowy figure's expression changed slightly, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" he said, trying to remain calm.

Gong Lin sneered: "I'm talking nonsense? You 'Night Owls' are willing to pay any price, even harming innocent lives, for this fabricated ability! How long do you think you can cover up your crimes?"

The dark figure's expression grew increasingly grim. He glanced around and noticed that the other men in black had already been apprehended by the police.

"They're all white-faced! He lied to us! He said Miao Qing's space could change time and allow time travel! We've all been fooled by him!" The dark figure suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted loudly.

The other men in black chimed in, "Yes! They're all white-faced! We've all been fooled by him!"

"Pale face?" A thought struck me; the reappearance of this name made me feel uneasy.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Gong Lin's lips as he slowly said, "It seems that things aren't so peaceful inside 'Night Owl' either..."

Before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly darted out from the crowd and headed straight for me.

"Miao Qing! Hand over the space!"

My heart skipped a beat—it was the pale-faced one!

He still hadn't run away!

Before I could react, Gong Lin had already blocked my way like an angry lion.

His movements were swift and powerful. He launched a kick that seemed to carry immense force, tracing a perfect arc in the air before slamming it into the white-faced man's stomach.

The pale-faced man was kicked away like a rag doll, crashing heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust. Gong Lin stood there, his posture upright, his eyes burning with fury. He roared, "How dare you show your face again!" Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and everyone was stunned by Gong Lin's domineering aura and power.

Pale-faced, clutching his stomach, groaned in pain, his eyes filled with venomous resentment: "Miao Qing! You ruined everything I had! I will never let you get away with this!"

I stepped out from behind Gong Lin and looked at him coldly: "Paleface, what else do you think you can do? Your conspiracy has been exposed, 'Night Owl' is finished, what do you have left to rely on?"

The pale-faced man suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "It's over? Haha! You're all too naive! You think this is the end? This is just the beginning! My research is in its final stage. Soon, I will be able to control the power of space! Then, you will all die!"

His words startled me. Could he be hiding some secret weapon?

Just then, Officer Chen arrived with his officers and handcuffed the pale-faced man and the other men in black.

"Take them away!" Officer Chen ordered, and the police escorted them into the police car.

Watching the police car drive away, I didn't feel relieved; instead, I felt even heavier.

The words of the pale-faced man were like a time bomb, buried deep in my heart.

"Rin, what exactly is this 'research' that the pale-faced guy is talking about?" I turned to look at Rin, my eyes filled with worry.

Gong Lin's expression also turned serious: "I don't know either, but it's definitely related to your space. It seems we must find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

I nodded, gripped his hand tightly, and felt a deep unease in my heart.

Just then, my phone suddenly rang.

I took out my phone and saw that it was Secretary Lin calling.

"President Miao, something terrible has happened! Something's happened at the company!" Secretary Lin's voice was anxious and flustered.

My heart sank suddenly and an ominous premonition came over me.

"What happened?" I asked hurriedly.

"The company...the company's clients...have all terminated their contracts!" Secretary Lin's voice was choked with sobs.

My head buzzed, as if I had been struck by lightning.

The customer cancelled the contract? How could this happen?

Before I could ask any more questions, I heard a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, and then the call was disconnected.

I stood there, stunned, feeling my hands and feet grow cold.

Gong Lin looked at me, her eyes filled with worry: "What's wrong?"

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm: "The company...something's happened at the company..."

Gong Lin's expression also turned serious. He grabbed my hand and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

I looked up and met his eyes, and felt a little more at ease.

"Let's go." Gong Lin took my hand and quickly walked towards the car parked by the roadside.

I got into the car with him, and the car sped towards the company.

My heart was filled with unease and anxiety. I didn't know what had happened at the company, or what would happen next.

All I know is that an even bigger storm is coming...

Gong Lin suddenly gripped the steering wheel tightly and said in a low voice, "It seems someone doesn't want us to have an easy time..."

His words sent a chill down my spine. I turned to look at him, my eyes filled with doubt.

"What do you mean?"

Gong Lin did not answer, but stared intently ahead with a cold smile on his lips.

"You'll find out soon enough..."
