The man led the girl to the laboratory door and skillfully pressed his thumb onto the fingerprint lock.
"Ding!" A red light automatically turned on at the laboratory entrance.
"Professor Gu, welcome home!"
The door slowly opened.
The man pulled the expressionless girl into the laboratory.
The door was then closed again.
The room was lit by bright, cool white lights, and various instruments and glass jars for experiments were placed around it.
The man walked to a wall, pressed another combination lock on it, entered the password, and a blue light appeared on the wall. Then, a hidden door slowly opened.
The girl followed closely behind the man like a puppet.
The man turned around, looked at the girl, and his eyes were filled with doting affection.
"Let's go inside."
Upon hearing the man's voice, the girl's dull eyes gradually regained some sparkle.
She slowly raised her head to look at the man and nodded expressionlessly.
The man took her hand and led her into the dark, secret room.

Upon hearing that someone had opened the research institute's laboratory, Yuan You and Chu Yi rushed over from their homes.
The research institute has been closed since the owner left.
Upon arriving at the gate of the research institute, a black Jeep was seen parked outside.
At the entrance, two tall men dressed in black windbreakers, wearing black hats and black masks, stood straight outside.
Upon seeing this, Yuan You sensed that something was amiss.
“Brother Yuanyou, this doesn’t seem to be someone from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.”
Yuan You's gaze swept over the two burly men, who in turn looked in their direction. The four of them faced each other, and a sinister aura emanated from them.
Compared to the first year of junior high, Yuan You has been by Gu Jueye's side for a longer time and has gradually learned his boss's composure and calmness.
He suppressed his fear and spoke calmly.
"On the first day of the lunar month, I'll go in by myself in a bit. You stay outside the door. If I don't come out in an hour, call Dean Pei of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and also call the police."
“Brother Yuanyou, I don’t think these people are good people. You’d better not go in. Let’s just call the police.”
Yuan You shook his head. There was too much research data in the boss's laboratory that needed to be protected, some of which were even top-secret documents. Unless absolutely necessary, they should not be easily leaked.
Fortunately, the lab door uses an AI-generated password, requiring the boss's fingerprint to open.
Without a fingerprint password, it would be very difficult to blow open the laboratory door even with explosives.
With this in mind, Yuan You dared not delay.
"Remember what I just said, I'll go in and take a look first."
"Brother Yuanyou..."
Chu Yi tried to persuade him, but Yuan You had already rushed forward.
"What are you doing here? Do you know where you are? You're trespassing on their property, don't you know that?"
The two burly men at the door looked coldly at Shao Yuanyou.
One of them asked, "Are you from the research institute?"
"Yes, I am an employee of this research institute. My boss is away from the capital and asked me to stay here to guard the institute. Your unauthorized entry is illegal. I advise you to leave immediately, otherwise I will call the police."
Upon hearing Yuan You's words, the two burly men scoffed dismissively.
"Kid, are you telling us to leave?"
"Yes, you must leave here immediately!"
The big man chuckled: "That's strange. We're going back to our own research institute. Why should we leave?"
Yuan You was stunned. Had the research institute changed its leadership?
"Your research institute? This was clearly built by the Chinese Academy of Sciences for my boss. How did it become yours? Where is your boss? I want to confront him in person."
"My boss doesn't see outsiders, you'd better leave as soon as possible."
Yuan You grew increasingly angry. Had the people at the Chinese Academy of Sciences transferred the research institute to someone else again?
The boss has contributed so many research achievements to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. These people are really going too far. The boss has only been gone for a little over a month, and they can't wait to change the ownership of the research institute.
“Even if the research institute has been sold, everything inside belongs to our boss. Without the original owner’s permission, you have no right to go in. I want to see your boss.”
Yuan You rushed straight inside.
Two burly men stopped him.
"My boss won't see you, get out of here right now!"
Yuan You was shoved out by the big man, and he roared angrily into the research institute.
"You people, get out here! This research institute belongs to my boss. You have no right to go in. If you don't come out, I'm calling the police right now!"
Fang Shu heard the commotion outside and glanced down from the second-floor observation deck.
Seeing the young man below, his face flushed with anger, he hesitated for a moment, then turned and went downstairs.
Upon arriving at the door, two subordinates were preparing to throw the noisy Yuan You out the door.
"stop!"
The two were stunned, and immediately released Yuan You's collar, looking respectfully at Fang Mu.
"Commander Fang!"
Fang Shu responded and glanced at Yuan You: "Let him in!"
The two stopped blocking the way and made way for him.
Yuan You straightened his clothes, which had been disheveled, snorted coldly at the two men, and walked straight toward Fang Shu.
"So you're the one who trespassed into the research institute?"
Fang Shu's cold face remained expressionless as he spoke indifferently.
"Come in with me!"
"Who exactly are you people? Why are you trespassing on the research institute? You're their boss, aren't you? I'm warning you, my boss isn't an ordinary person. You should be familiar with the name Gu Jueye, right? He's my boss. If you dare to touch anything here, when my boss comes back, he will definitely not let you off the hook."
Fang Shu walked in front, while Yuan You followed behind like a house sparrow, chirping away.
A hint of impatience flickered across his expressionless face as he turned and glared coldly at Yuan You behind him.
"My boss is in the lab. You wait here."
