AWB Chapter 473: Being Scammed
Chapter 473: Being Scammed
When Lin Ci'an quietly left the orphanage, the moonlight was swallowed by dark clouds. He stood outside the rusty iron gate, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of his phone - the screen showed a message from Chu Xiao half an hour ago: "Ci'an, can you accompany me to the laboratory tomorrow morning?"
Before he could reply, an unexpected message popped up on his phone...
The night wind blew the dead leaves across his trouser legs, and the 6872 alarm suddenly exploded in Chu Ziyu's mind: "Warning! Lin Ci'an's blackening value has exceeded the 90% critical point!"
At this moment, Chu Ziyu was prying open Chu Xiao's private laboratory. Hearing this, his hands trembled, and the laser pen left a scorch mark on the door lock. Hundreds of blue medicines were neatly arranged in the refrigerator, and the batch number X-2743 on the label glowed faintly under the ultraviolet light.
"We have to speed up." He bit open the lens cap of the micro camera and suddenly heard the hum of the elevator at the end of the corridor. 6872 instantly called up the floor plan of the building: "This is Chu Xiao's exclusive elevator!"
Chu Ziyu dodged into the shadow of the specimen cabinet and watched Chu Xiao humming a song while turning on the computer. The moment the screen lit up, his pupils shrank suddenly - the desktop folder was marked with "Star House Control Experiment Group".
"Today's data is very interesting." Chu Xiao chuckled into the phone, his lens reflecting the densely packed children's codes in the Excel spreadsheet, "Especially sample No. 7, the rate of cognitive degradation exceeded expectations by 30%." He clicked on the surveillance footage and saw the sleeping children in the orphanage, "The improved version of diazepam is indeed..."
The words stopped abruptly.
Chu Xiao suddenly turned to the specimen cabinet, his nose twitching slightly: "Strange, why does it smell like perfume?" When he stood up, his white coat swept across the cabinet door where Chu Ziyu was hiding, and his finger pressed on the fingerprint lock.
At the critical moment, Chu Xiao's cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
When Chu Xiao turned around to check, he took the opportunity to climb out of the window and hung on the drainpipe outside the twelfth floor.
The cold wind made the shirt rustle.
Chu Xiao picked up the vibrating phone and a text message from Lin Ci'an popped up:
"See you in the lab building at 8am tomorrow morning."
"6872, retrieve Chu Xiao's recent call records." He moved along the outer wall, and the glass window reflected his solemn expression, "Focus on the transactions with Xingchen Group."
"Boss, there is a major discovery!" 6872's voice suddenly rose, "There is an encrypted folder in Chu Xiao's computer, and we just cracked it and found out that -"
Fire alarms suddenly rang throughout the campus.
Chu Ziyu turned his head and looked to the southwest, with the flames rising to the sky reflected in his pupils. That direction was... Star House Orphanage!
"What a pity." Chu Xiao sighed at the burning night sky, but took off his glasses and wiped them with a smile, "Originally, this batch of data could have been published in a top journal."
He casually threw the controller into the shredder. When he turned around, his white coat swept across the cabinet door where Chu Ziyu had just hidden, and a platinum cufflink was stuck in the gap.
"But unfortunately, it's been discovered. It's useless now."
Thick smoke rolled and engulfed the moon, and the heat wave could be felt even three blocks away.
On Chu Ziyu's retina, the surveillance screen projected by 6872 was flashing wildly: Lin Ci'an rushed out of the fire scene holding the unconscious little Grape, with the twisted and burning "Anxin Medical" logo behind him. The black value monitoring bar kept bursting with red warnings at the 100% position.
Exposed, Chu Ziyu had no need to hide and simply rolled over and went into the house.
Chu Xiao stood in front of the window admiring the fire, with a glass of red wine in his hand.
The sirens of the fire trucks came closer and closer, and Chu Xiao suddenly turned around. Chu Ziyu met his excited eyes behind the lenses: "Ah, classmate Chu also likes night outings?"
Seeing that Chu Ziyu didn't say anything, he spoke to himself.
"Do you know?" He suddenly asked, frightening Chu Ziyu so much that he froze in his place, "There are 17 similar observation points across the country." The red wine left a bloody mark on the wall of the glass, "Orphanages, mental hospitals, nursing homes... are all excellent experimental sites."
Chu Xiao had already pressed the hidden button under the desk, and explosion-proof doors were instantly lowered at all exits of the laboratory.
"Just right." He took off his watch and placed it on the table. The dial showed a heart rate of 130. "I have a tachycardia problem and need some...fresh samples." As the scalpel slid from his sleeve into his palm, a loud noise of a building collapse was heard from the direction of the orphanage.
Ah, dear readers, I was defrauded yesterday on May 520th. The scammer cheated me out of two hundred yuan. Everyone must be vigilant, vigilant, vigilant. I called the police, but it is basically impossible to recover the money. I reported it on both Blue Bubble and Green Bubble, but it is useless. The phone is no longer answered, and WeChat has blocked me. Ah, stupid author here, I feel like I am going to become a vicious woman after being deceived.
And don't believe it easily. There's nothing else to say. I just feel stupid.
