Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

Shen Ying felt like she was sitting on pins and needles on the plane, her anxiety burning like a raging fire that never stopped.

The long flight was like an agonizing torture for her, and every passing second felt like a deep wound being carved into her heart.

Finally, the plane landed. She practically sprang from her seat, ignoring the strange looks from the other passengers, and frantically pulled her luggage from the overhead bins before running out of the cabin as if fleeing a disaster.

After leaving the airport, she was extremely anxious, her eyes frantically searching for taxis along the roadside. Finally, she managed to flag down a car and urged the driver to head straight to the Pathogen Research Center.

Throughout the journey, she kept peering out the car window at the street scene, her fingers unconsciously tapping on her knees in a chaotic and rapid rhythm, as if it were the metronome of her inner turmoil.

Finally, the research center building came into view.

The building soared into the clouds, its exterior solemn and imposing. The huge glass curtain wall reflected a cold luster under the sunlight, exuding an air of mystery, as if it were hiding countless unknown secrets.

The security guards at the entrance stood tall and straight, like two guardian deities, their eyes vigilantly scrutinizing everything around them, not missing a single sound.

When Shen Ying rushed over with her luggage and tried to step through the gate, the security guard quickly stretched out his arm to block her way. The action was swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

The security guard said curtly, "This is a key research area; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter."

Shen Ying was extremely anxious, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels as she hurriedly explained, "Big brother, I'm really not a bad person. I'm here to find Ming Xiaoxiao. She works inside, and I have something very important to discuss with her. Please help me contact her."

The security guard looked her up and down, his eyes still full of doubt, but he still turned around and went to the security room to make a phone call.

Shen Ying followed closely behind the security guard, standing next to the security room, her eyes fixed on the hand he was making the phone call, her focused expression as if she wanted to see right through it.

Her lips trembled slightly as she silently prayed that Ming Xiaoxiao would answer the phone soon.

However, time seemed to be playing tricks on her, slowly passing by second by second, but no one answered the phone.

Shen Ying's heart felt as if it had fallen into an endless dark abyss, gradually sinking to the bottom. A sense of despair and helplessness spread through her heart. She didn't know where to go next, and just stood there blankly, her eyes empty and confused.

Left with no other choice, Shen Ying racked her brains and quickly came up with a lie.

She put on a smile and said to the security guard, "Brother, actually Ming Xiaoxiao is my cousin. I'm here to stay with my cousin."

I contacted her before I came, but she's probably busy and didn't answer the phone. She probably wants me to wait for her in the security room.

The security guard looked at her with some skepticism, but eventually agreed to let her wait in the security room.

Shen Ying sat in the corner of the security room, extremely anxious, constantly thinking about what to do next.

Just then, a young man strolled leisurely into the security room.

His head of white hair, as white as snow, seemed to be enveloped in a faint halo under the dim light.

His eyes were a deep, icy blue, like a frozen lake in the cold night, so deep that no one could fathom its depths. The gaze emanating from them was cold and indifferent, as if nothing in the world could stir any ripples in his heart.

His face was like a meticulously sculpted work of art, with strong yet delicate lines. Beneath his high, straight nose, his thin lips were slightly pursed, giving him an innate sense of aloofness.

Upon seeing this, the security guard hurriedly greeted him warmly: "Zhang Wei, you've arrived quite early today."

He merely nodded slightly, his expression as calm and profound as a still spring, seemingly oblivious to the security guard's overflowing enthusiasm, as if all the surrounding noise was isolated from him by a different world.

His aloof and indifferent aura emanated from him as if it were a tangible thing, making the surrounding air seem to freeze and filled with a chill.

The security guard, however, didn't seem to mind at all. He was still very enthusiastic towards Zhang Wei, and his smile didn't fade at all, as if Zhang Wei's indifference was just a unique personality trait, rather than an offense.

He continued enthusiastically, "Zhang Wei, I heard that our center has made new research progress recently. You must have contributed a lot to it!"

Her words were full of flattery and admiration, and her eyes shone with respect and obsequiousness towards him. She completely ignored Zhang Wei's cold response and continued to talk about the big and small matters in her heart, as if she was trying to break down this cold barrier, or as if she had long been used to using her enthusiasm to dispel Zhang Wei's indifference.

At that moment, Shen Ying felt a jolt, as if an electric current had instantly pierced through her chaotic thoughts.

Looking at Zhang Weina's aloof yet indescribably dignified appearance, her mind raced, and a plan instantly came to her.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, like a warrior burning his boats, determined to gamble everything.

She took a deep breath, tried to straighten her weak legs, and then walked towards Zhang Wei with a forced calm.

She forced a seemingly natural smile and said softly, "Hello, Comrade Zhang Wei, I am Ming Xiaoxiao's cousin. She asked me to come and see her, and specifically told you to take me in."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, his two stern brows furrowing slightly, and a hint of barely perceptible doubt flashed in his eyes.

His gaze swept over Shen Ying from top to bottom, scrutinizing her closely. From her eyes, which she tried to conceal but still showed signs of nervousness, to her slightly disheveled hair and clothes from the long journey, nothing escaped his notice.

Shen Ying felt a prickling sensation on her back, her heart leaped into her throat, and her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes at her sides until her knuckles turned white from the force, her heart filled with the fear of being exposed.

But to everyone's surprise, Zhang Wei didn't press further, simply saying indifferently, "Come with me."

After saying that, he turned and strolled into the research center.

Shen Ying hurriedly dragged her luggage and followed, her heart pounding wildly in her chest like an out-of-control drumstick. She was secretly relieved by this unexpected turn of events, but at the same time, her heart was filled with trepidation and fear about the unknown future.

Shen Ying followed Zhang Wei into the research center.

The long corridor was dimly lit, and the doors to the rooms on both sides were tightly closed, with only the occasional soft hum of instruments coming from inside.

Knowing she had to find Ming Xiaoxiao as soon as possible, she slipped into a storage room while Zhang Wei wasn't looking, found a set of work clothes, changed into them, and then moved freely within the center.

Her hands trembled slightly, and she almost buttoned them wrong several times. She was careful with every movement, afraid of making a sound that would attract attention.

After changing her clothes, she took a deep breath, looked at her luggage, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and hid it in the storage room.

Stepping out of the storage room, he continued his search for Ming Xiaoxiao in the vast research center, his heart pounding with tension, constantly on guard against being exposed as he tried to conceal his disguise.
