With a 'beep', the door to the secret room finally made a sound.
Soon, the scene inside came into view; the small space was immediately filled with the scene inside.
However, they didn't find any confidential documents or valuable experimental results inside, nor was there even any space to visit. Instead, they saw two people.
A man and a woman, looking at how they snuggled together, you could tell their relationship at a glance.
Their white coats were no different from everyone else's; if they hadn't been locked in this secret room, no one would have been able to tell anything from them.
However, Qi Jiu, who had only glanced at it once, quickly noticed something amiss.
"It does look familiar."
It feels like I've seen it somewhere before, but where exactly?
The smell of blood slowly spread. Looking at one of the pharmacists in front of me, I saw him clutching a wound on his leg. His expression was strange, and he looked to be in great pain.
Her mind raced, images flashing through her head, until she finally remembered something.
He suddenly looked up and saw that the two people in front of him were scrutinizing him, with a hint of delight in their eyes.
Uncle He?
Isn't this the person that Grandpa He asked her to find? I never expected that he would actually be here.
As soon as the words were spoken, He Mo, who was clutching his injured leg and looking up, looked somewhat dazed, and the woman next to him was also stunned.
He looked at Qi Jiu with a mixture of confusion and probing.
Yes, those locked inside were He Qingfeng's parents. They were also the people whose photos Grandpa He had been searching for for so long, kept in a safe box. He never expected to find them here one day.
Some people thought they were dead, others thought they were missing and perhaps lingering on somewhere, but in reality, they were trapped in this world and could not go anywhere.
Perhaps the only reason I'm still alive is because of some kind of hope I hold onto. Otherwise, I might have already...
Looking at it this way, He Mo and He Qingfeng really do look alike. Their facial features are about 70-80% similar, which makes Qi Jiu feel more familiar and close to them.
The woman next to him also seemed surprised to run into someone she could meet in such a place, but the person... seemed to be someone she had never seen before.
In this situation, even though the girl wanted to explain something, she still suppressed the joy in her heart.
"Quickly, take the pharmacist inside and leave, then search for Melway with all your might!"
I was so overwhelmed with joy that I almost forgot there was someone else I was looking for!
The girl gave orders to Wu Mei and the others beside her.
As she turned to leave, the girl pulled out a lighter from somewhere, saying, "This place will never see the light of day again."
After saying that, she left the laboratory.
As time passed, batches of people who had been sent out returned. Looking at the slight sense of defeat on their faces, it seemed that the outcome was already known.
Seeing that most of the people had returned, Qi Silin pursed his lips. "Still haven't found it?"
They've searched the entire island, but how come they still can't find a single living person? How big is this island anyway?
"Yes, Master, we have searched the entire island, but we still haven't found any trace of them or any suspicious people."
As he watched the groups of people returning from outside, Qi Silin slowly swept his gaze across the villa.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she lowered her eyes as if she was thinking.
Is it possible that their search focus was different from the very beginning? The island has been searched, but what about the villa they've been staying at? There's a saying that goes, the most dangerous place is the safest.
Although it's crazy for someone to do that, there's some truth to it.
"you……"
"Perhaps we know where they are."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a sound coming from the doorway.
Turning around, they saw He Mo and his wife, who should have been in the lounge, standing at the door, holding hands and looking at them nervously.
Upon seeing the newcomers, the girl pursed her lips and quickly invited them over.
However, seeing the somewhat hesitant expressions on their faces, she felt it would be better for her to introduce herself first.
"I forgot to introduce myself earlier. My name is Qi Jiu. I am He Qingfeng's junior. We are studying the same major in City A."
Upon hearing this, the couple opposite them were stunned and began to look Qi Jiu up and down. They never imagined that the leader who had just been so decisive and ruthless actually knew their son.
I thought she was already making her way in the international arena, but who would have thought she's still a college student, one of the most innocent people in China.
However, after saying that, we've become a little more familiar with each other.
"How has Qingfeng been all these years?"
The two of them had forgotten how long it had been since they last went back. They had completely missed his childhood and his youth. According to the time they left, Qingfeng should be graduating soon.
If it had been any later, he might have missed out on such a major life event as his wedding.
The girl nodded. "He's doing very well. He got into a prestigious university in the entire city of A and even the whole country. He inherited his family business and will probably become a famous pharmacist. Now he has his own dreams and people he wants to protect."
Having received the answer they wanted, He Mo and his wife were relieved and quickly got back to the main topic.
“Melway must have hidden in the tunnel under the villa, the one I accidentally discovered before. If we can’t find any trace of him on the entire island, then I can’t think of anywhere else besides that tunnel. Perhaps you can try your luck there.”
A tunnel suddenly appeared beneath the villa, startling everyone present, with Qi Silin narrowing his eyes slightly.
It seems he was right; the final result was still in this villa.
However, the tunnel must be incredibly well hidden to have remained undiscovered until now.
"Do you know where that tunnel is? And where does it ultimately lead?"
If Melville had used the tunnel to leave earlier, he should have had enough time to escape by now.
If that's really the case, then if we want to catch them all in one fell swoop, we'll have to wait for the next time.
At this point, the couple shook their heads. "I don't know, but he mentioned another place, which should also be considered one of his secret bases, containing many valuable items. I secretly bumped into him returning once before; he smelled strongly of medicine on him, so it should also be... a small laboratory?"
"The smell of medicine? A laboratory?"
The girl pursed her lips. If that was the case, then it seemed she had a solution.
