The crystal chandelier in the banquet hall was so bright that it hurt my eyes.
I held a champagne glass and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, listening to the false and condescending compliments behind me. This kind of situation in the financial circle is nothing more than a group of old foxes testing each other's bottom line to see if they can tear off a piece of flesh from each other.
The phone in my pocket vibrated three times.
This frequency is Lu Huaijin's encrypted line. Unless there is an extremely urgent matter, he will not send it three times in a row like this.
I made an excuse and pushed open the patio door, and the cold wind rushed in, finally dissipating the disguised perfume smell. When the call was connected, Lu Huaijin's voice was very low, with a sense of tension that I couldn't place.
"President, something happened in the laboratory."
"Say."
"The data is abnormal. They confirmed that an experimental subject escaped."
My fingers holding the phone tightened a little, and my knuckles turned white. The word "experimental subject" may be just a cold code name in other people's ears, but to me, it means too much.
"Which number?"
"It hasn't been confirmed yet. The communication over there has been interrupted. But the last encrypted message I received showed that the thing has been sent to your side."
Something.
