Chapter 1304: No Ordinary Researcher
Yuan Huan was very sensitive to the smell of blood. He narrowed his eyes as he walked up beside Huo Yulin. When he took a second look at Huo Yulin, he finally noticed that Huo Yulin’s face was unusually pale.
Since Huo Yulin was in bad shape, he let down his guard inadvertently. By the time he noticed Yuan Huan’s presence, it was already too late.
When he raised his head and looked at Yuan Huan, he noticed Yuan Huan looking at him perplexedly.
Almost instantly, a thought dawned on Huo Yulin.
Yuan Huan was suspicious of him.
Huo Yulin instantly tensed up.
Huo Yulin had exchanged blows with Yuan Huan previously. Even though Yuan Huan was an average fighter, he was highly observant, so there was a chance he could recognize Huo Yulin.
Moreover, he was injured and his wounds had split open. It was impossible for him to hide the smell of blood using his down jacket.
If anyone discovered his injuries, it was impossible for him to leave the inst.i.tute. Even if he did not delete the research files, he would become the fall guy.
He could not let Yuan Huan discover that he was injured.
Huo Yulin tightened his fists slightly as he thought about the excuses he could make to leave.
“You look pale. Are you injured?” asked Yuan Huan in concern.
Huo Yulin remained calm and simply replied mildly. “I’m a researcher. I’m pale because I’m stuck in the lab all the time.”
......
A look of surprise swept across Yuan Huan’s eyes. He laughed and said, “I can smell blood, so I thought you were injured.”
Huo Yulin veered slightly and adjusted his posture. His coat collar opened slightly to reveal his black sweater. “It’s probably the patient’s blood.”
Yuan Huan glanced at his collar and said softly, “Is that so?”
Huo Yulin pursed his lips and seemed calm. He did not answer Yuan Huan.
The doorbell suddenly rang unexpectedly, breaking up the conversation.
When Yuan Huan heard the doorbell ringing, he automatically turned to look at the door.
Huo Yulin could finally breathe a little easier.
Prof Gao was sitting nearby. He pressed a b.u.t.ton on the table to open the door. Before long, the door opened and someone could be seen standing outside.
It was the president’s a.s.sistant.
The a.s.sistant entered the office and nodded to the professors and greeted them.
Prof Gao Put down the doc.u.ments and looked at him. He asked. “Does the president want to see me?”
The a.s.sistant shook his head. Instead, he looked at Huo Yulin. “He wants to see him.”
Yuan Huan was caught by surprise. He raised his head and glanced at the a.s.sistant.
When Huo Yulin heard the news, he felt worried.
He straightened his jacket as he contemplated. Why did the president want to see him?
Prof Gao wanted to discuss the surgery with Huo Yulin since he was from the T5 Research Inst.i.tute. Since the president wanted to see him, he could not keep him. He said, “Okay then. Go ahead, Huo Yulin.”
Huo Yulin did not understand why the president wanted to see him. He could only stand up and nod politely to Prof Gao.
Before long, he left Prof Gao’s office with the president’s a.s.sistant.
Yuan Huan could still smell the faint scent of blood in the air as he looked at the entrance. A couple of seconds later, he finally veered his eyes.
When he walked back to the professors, the smell of blood was nearly undetectable.
Yuan Huan glanced at the spot Huo Yulin was just sitting in and pondered.
Something seemed strange about this ex-T5 Research Inst.i.tute employee.
