"I will ask my wife if she knows anything about this man." He picked up the laptop with the images and video before walking away through the corridor; he opened the bedroom walking in before closing it behind him.
The bedroom was dim, cloaked in soft golden light to ease her in resting. If these people wanted his wife then the possibility of his wife knowing these people was high.
Lu Wan Ruyi lay against a mound of silk pillows, her skin pale but her eyes still clear and sharp. Despite the tension outside those walls, the room had been kept quiet and she had fallen asleep.
Lu Wan Ruyi suddenly snapped her eyes open the moment Lu Zhi Hao got closer. She was sharp and sensitive, surprising Lu Zhi Hao, who was caught off guard. In such a situation, Lu Wan Ruyi could only act with caution.
She immediately calmed down seeing who it was and smelling that familiar scent.
"Have you gotten any clue on who took them?" She was worried that they would hurt Lu Ting Zhou, but at the same time, she knew they wouldn't kill him until she or Lu Zi Zhen showed up; they were the main target of all these.
"You look like you've seen a ghost." He crossed the room and sat beside her, placing the laptop on the low table in front of them, he kissed her on the cheek. "I need your eyes on something. Someone, actually. Tell me if you can identify the person."
She adjusted herself upright with a wince, and he helped her gently. When the laptop opened, the paused CCTV footage came up.
He fast-forwarded the footage before he paused it again at a particular image. "Him," he said, pointing to the man in the back, slightly stooped, his face partially turned away, but enough was visible in profile and any person who knew him would definitely identify him.
Wan Ruyi leaned in slowly checking the person out.
Her eyes widened at that surprise. She was shocked to see that person. Her body heavily trembled registering on the information.
You could suddenly feel the intense murderous Aura coming from her and her eyes were turning cold and thirsty.
"You know him?" he asked, his voice low and tender trying to draw her out of her shocked situation.
Yes, that's Professor Mo... But how is it possible that he is alive? They said he had died from a fire explosion in the laboratory and I had to be arrested as the main suspect for his death and deathly experiments! How could he be alive?" Not only was she shocked, but a memory flashed through her brain that she hadn't wanted to recall at all.
Was he after her for the experiments or was he after her because of those results that never got to be finalized?
Lu Zhi Hao froze for a minute. The room felt suddenly colder despite the warm golden light turned on. "Professor Mo?" he echoed, not yet grasping the weight of what she just said because he didn't know this person. "You are certain about that?" Lu Zhi Hao didn't know much about this said person, but at one time, there was a highly prohibited experiment that had gone rampant, and even the government had to get involved.
Lu Wan Ruyi's fingers trembled slightly as she reached forward and tapped the laptop screen. "That tilt of his head, that gait… I would recognize it anywhere. I worked with him for three good years before… before everything happened and left everything for me to shoulder." She couldn't forget it, even though she had privately worked for him and no one knew about it; she knew every trait of him.
