Huo Yulin raised his hand and interrupted Chen Ming without letting him go on. He said in a deep voice, "Even if something might happen to me, I have to do this. Otherwise, I would never have joined the institute."
Chen Ming wanted to convince him otherwise. Since he knew Huo Yulin's personality well, he eventually swallowed his words. "Please be careful in there."
"Uh huh," acknowledged Huo Yulin softly. He leaned into the couch and rested his eyes without speaking.
Chen Ming quietly left the room and went about checking on his subordinates to ensure that they were ready.

After hanging up the phone with Chen Ming, Huo Yao sat quietly for a few minutes. She turned on her computer and sent Lei Xiao a text message: [Has anything happened at the institute recently?]
Lei Xiao happened to be looking at his phone. The moment he received Huo Yao's text message, he promptly replied: [I haven't heard of anything. Why are you asking this suddenly?]
