Yuan You and Chu Yi were overjoyed that their boss was back.
A procession of two or three cars arrived in a grand procession and stopped outside the research institute's gate.
The two were stunned and curiously looked into the car.
At this moment, the door of the jeep at the front slowly opened, and four young and handsome men stepped out one after another.
After Du Muchen got out of the car, his gaze went straight to Yuan You and Chu Yi.
What are you doing here?
Yuan You stepped forward.
"Young Master Chen, Young Master An, Young Master Ming, you're all here. Did you hear the boss is back?"
Xie Siming exclaimed, "The Duke is back?"
How is that possible?
Today, Kuching and Feng Yi were just brought back from the Kunlun Mountains and are still lying unconscious in the hospital.
How could the lord possibly return alone?
Yuan You nodded: "The boss is in the lab right now. You might have to wait a while to see him."
Du Muchen glanced at the entrance of the research institute, his gaze settling on the two burly men.
The other person was tall and burly, with a menacing aura.
This kind of person looks like someone who has been through thick and thin in life-or-death situations.
Du Muchen and Xie Siming exchanged a glance; both of them were shrewd individuals.
A sense of defensiveness arose in my heart.
"The Duke is back, why didn't he give us a heads-up?" Ji Cong'an wondered, and hurried toward the research institute.
The burly man at the door stood warily at the entrance, blocking the way of the group of strangers who were approaching.
"No strangers allowed!"
"What strangers? You don't even know who we are? Where did the Duke hire these bodyguards from? You don't even recognize us?"
The two burly men did not answer Ji Cong'an's question.
The arm blocking Ji Cong'an's path was as stiff as steel, unmoving, as if they would immediately attack if he dared to take another step forward.
Ji Cong'an was stunned by the aura of the two burly men.
She still glared at them with an arrogant expression, but she felt a little guilty inside.
If they were to fight later, I wonder if they could be a match for this big man.
Look at all those muscles, if he were to punch someone, it would probably hurt pretty much.
Ji Cong'an silently took a step back.
Du Muchen stood to the side, observing the two people with a sense of suspicion.
The Gu family has its own guard team, which is divided into five levels.
People like Gu Jin, Rong Yi, and Feng Yi are all shadow guards of the Gu family, whose main task is to protect Gu Jueye's safety.
Now, Gu Jin and Feng Yi are seriously injured, and the secret guards that Lord Jue brought have all died in Kunlun Mountain.
This group of people clearly weren't part of the secret guard faction.
Did the lord activate other guards?
Yuan You ran forward.
"Brothers, we're all on the same side. These are all the boss's friends. They came to see him after they heard he was back."
The two burly men looked at Yuan You expressionlessly.
"No one is allowed to enter without Commander Fang's permission."
Yuan You tapped his forehead and suddenly understood.
The two burly men who had stopped him earlier only allowed him to go in after the one called "Cold Face" came out.
"I am the person that your Commander Fang brought in. May I go in now?"
The two burly men remained silent, which was taken as tacit consent.
Yuan You turned to Du Muchen and the others and said.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go in and ask someone for help."
After Yuan You entered, Ji Cong'an glared at the two burly men with a displeased expression.
"What's wrong with you, sir? When did you become so distant? You even sent two big oafs to stand at the door and block us?"
Du Muchen remained silent, pondering the strangeness of today's events.
Looking into the courtyard of the research institute, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one can vaguely see several people standing guard in their respective corners.
He could even sense countless cold eyes watching them from all around, ready to strike if they crossed any lines.
"Let's wait for Yuan You to come out first."
Xie Siming also noticed something was off and pulled the chattering Ji Cong'an aside.
"Never mind, the Duke is probably handling important matters inside and doesn't know we're here. These people don't seem to be from the Gu family; they might not even recognize us."
Although Ji Cong'an wasn't as perceptive as Du Muchen and Xie Siming, he also sensed something strange about this group of people today.
He snorted coldly and said no more.
Yuanyou ran back to the second floor.
Fang Shu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the second-floor living room.
From his angle, he could just look down at what was happening outside the door.
"Commander Fang, some of the boss's friends have arrived, but the two guards at the door won't let them in. Could you please make another trip? These are the boss's closest friends."
Fang Shu slowly turned around and looked towards the closed laboratory.
"Without the master's permission, I cannot let so many people in to disturb him."
A "ding" sounded from the laboratory.
Yuan You and Fang Shu turned around at the same time to look in the direction of the laboratory.
The heavy laboratory door slowly opened.
A man dressed in black slowly walked out, carrying a sleeping girl in his arms.
He had a handsome face and a calm, aloof demeanor, and his black clothes made his figure appear even more upright.
Upon seeing the man before him, Yuan You was momentarily dazed.
Or is it just my imagination?
I hadn't seen the boss for over a month, but when I saw him again, I could see a sense of loneliness and vicissitude in the depths of his eyes.
"boss?"
It's the same face, but the overall aura seems somewhat different.
Yuan You spoke in a daze.
The man did not look at him.
Fang Shu stepped forward.
"Fifth Master, is Miss Qianmo alright?"
The man spoke in a cool tone: "The effects of the anesthetic haven't worn off yet."
Even Fang Shu, with his usually cold expression, revealed a rare, faint smile.
"Someone has come looking for Miss Qianmo outside... it's an old friend of yours."
The man's handsome face remained expressionless, his indifferent eyes lowered slightly, his gaze deep and affectionate as he looked at the girl in his arms.
"Tell them that once Qianmo wakes up, I will personally take her back to the Bai family."
"Yes!" Fang Shu accepted the order and left.
Yuan You was still standing there, stunned.
Only then did the man look at him.
"Send the data I worked on about gene recombination to my office some time ago."
Ah... Oh!
Suddenly, Yuan You snapped out of his shock.
