Chapter 216: Escape from the Crisis
Li Yu was taken to an abandoned operating room, surrounded by dust. It was obvious that no one had been there for a long time. He felt increasingly nervous, wondering who these people in protective suits were and what their purpose was.
A person in protective clothing came in, closed the door of the operating room, and installed a lock on the door handle. Li Yu's heartbeat accelerated, and he realized that he might be in trouble.
The man walked up to Li Yu and slowly took off his mask, revealing a familiar figure to Li Yu - an old colleague of his father and one of the participants in the experiment.
"Li Yu, you've come just in time." The man's voice was cold. "We've been waiting for you here."
Li Yu felt a chill run down his spine. He forced himself to remain calm and asked, "Why are you doing this? Do you know how much of a disaster your actions have caused?"
The man sneered, "Disaster? We're just trying to save more people. Although the experiment failed, we can't let this secret leak out and affect our reputation."
Li Yu's heart tightened. He realized that he was in a very dangerous situation. These people would protect the secret at all costs, which might even include killing people. He had to find a way to escape from here.
The man continued, "Li Yu, you're a smart person. You should know what to do. We can give you two choices: one is to remain silent and help us keep this secret; the other is to become the second person to fail in the experiment."
Li Yu knew that he could not give in to these people. He had to expose this secret and let the world know the truth. He secretly made up his mind and decided to find a chance to escape from here.
The man seemed to see through Li Yu's thoughts and sneered, "Don't even think about escaping. This operating room is the only exit. I've already arranged for someone outside."
Li Yu's heart tightened. He knew he couldn't just fight hard, he had to outsmart them. He pretended to compromise: "Okay, I promise you. But I have one condition. I want to meet your person in charge and personally assure him that I won't reveal the secret."
The man hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, I'll take you to see him."
Li Yu was secretly delighted, knowing that his chance had come. On the way to meet the person in charge, he kept thinking about how to get out.
Finally, they arrived at an office where the person in charge was sitting at the desk. Li Yu was shocked to see him - it turned out that he was the mayor of this city and the real manipulator behind the experiment.
The mayor looked at Li Yu and said coldly, "Are you the reporter? Your father was my right-hand man, but I didn't expect him to betray me."
Li Yu pretended to be scared and said, "Mayor, I promise I won't reveal the secret. Please let me go."
The mayor smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, I won't hurt you."
Li Yu took advantage of the mayor's off guard, suddenly took out the mobile phone hidden on his body, and pressed the alarm button.
Suddenly, the office door was flung open and a group of police rushed in. It turned out that Li Yu had taken the opportunity to send a distress message on his way to see the mayor.
The mayor panicked, and Li Yu took the opportunity to flee the office. The police quickly subdued the mayor and others and sealed off the entire old hospital.
Li Yu finally walked out of the old hospital safely and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had successfully uncovered the secret of the old hospital and restored his father's reputation.
However, this is just the beginning. Li Yu decided to write this story into a book to let more people know about this history and prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
On this cold night, Li Yu embarked on a new journey, carrying with him thoughts of his father and a new understanding of his own courage. He knew that his mission was not yet complete, and he wanted to use words to speak for the truth.
