She silently turned her head and gripped a short knife in her hand, "I’ll take this one."
Lu Jin’s personal laboratory was located on the edge of the refugee camp, a three-story building, heavily guarded at the entrance.
Once inside, the two went straight up to the third floor, which had been transformed into a structure identical to the laboratory below, the only difference being the walls were not yet made of copper and iron, and the windows still let in bright light.
Lu Jin placed the child on the experimental table, and several researchers in white coats, who looked very professional, came over immediately.
"Shall we start now?"
Lu Jin turned to look at Su Mo, Lu Ruixue still clung to his finger, almost laughing with bubbles in her nose.
Su Mo wiped her with a small towel and nodded, "Don’t hurt her."
Blood was drawn for the first step of the examination, and as her mother, Su Mo naturally also had to provide a blood sample.
During the blood draw, the child did not cry at all, but instead kept her large eyes fixed on Lu Jin’s hand without blinking.
The man stared at his own hand for a while and suddenly felt that he should protect it well—it was what Su Mo’s child liked.
Today was only for drawing blood and conducting a few tests; the specific treatment and research plan would have to wait.
Throughout the process, Lu Ruixue showed only impatience and no other expressions, except for excitement when staring at those beautiful hands.
Su Mo didn’t know what to say about her, not expecting such a small child to understand any reasoning.
After the examination, it was Su Mo herself who went and pulled Lu Jin’s hand away to conclude the matter.
After wiping the child’s mouth and putting her back in the stroller, she asked, "When will the results be out?"
"In a week, come back then."
Su Mo nodded, "Then I’ll leave first."
Lu Jin escorted them downstairs, following slowly behind them; the warm touch on his fingertips made him feel the child’s dependency.
He pressed his lips to his fingers, feeling calm inside.
He had promised to control his rage disorder, and in the past few days, he had not done anything to terrify people; even Lin Yao, who had been locked up, had not been whipped.
Su Mo did not let Lu Jin escort her all the way back, but asked him to stop halfway there. Lu Jin obediently paused, yet several soldiers joined Su Mo’s security detail, insisting on ensuring her safe return.
Both sides’ higher-ups knew that Su Mo had almost been kidnapped in the refugee camp, so no one took it lightly; everyone valued her safety.
She led her people towards the commercial street and disappeared at the corner.
The man stood there for a long time before turning away.
As Su Mo walked past the refugee camp’s main gate, a familiar silhouette made her pause.
It was Fang Lian and her daughter, Lu Yuan.
The man who had been frozen outside the base, his body covered in bruises, made her narrow her eyes, "Lu Youwei?"
She watched Fang Lian hand a large number of Crystal Stones to the gatekeeper soldiers, and Lu Youwei, who had put on a hat thinking he wouldn’t be recognized, followed Fang Lian, planning to sneak into the refugee camp.
Su Mo’s lips curled into a smile, guessing that it was Lu Jin’s people who had thrown out this unworthy father figure.
How could she let him return safely?
This despicable thing.
She paused while pushing the stroller and asked Lu Jin’s man beside her, "Was Lu Youwei thrown out by Lu Jin?"
"Yes, she went out with Fang Ya."
"Not without orders from Mr. Meng or Mr. Lu Jin."
Su Mo nodded and pointed directly at the front gate, "Then please trouble them to throw Lu Youwei out again."
Her smile was harmless, yet the people beside her felt a chill down their spines as they looked towards the entrance of the base. They understood from the man following behind Fang Lian and Lu Yuan, "I’ll go right away."
Fang Lian realized something was amiss from afar when she saw Su Mo, but before she could even warn Lu Youwei to hide, she spotted several familiar soldiers.
They were men from Lu Jin’s side.
Lu Yuan said somewhat annoyedly, "They are brother’s men."
Since Lu Youwei was Fang Lian’s husband and Lu Yuan’s father, the two naturally couldn’t truly sever their blood ties, unlike the ruthless Lu Jin.
So when those tall and robust superpower users approached, Lu Yuan stepped in front of Lu Youwei, "Did brother send you here?"
Lu Youwei’s head was almost buried in his arms, reflecting on his life of glory but now facing such a fall from grace. How could he be willing to accept it, yet that Lu Jin... was simply a demon.
"Lu Youwei has already been expelled from the base by Mr. Lu Jin, Lady Fang, please don’t make this difficult for us."
They hardly gave Lu Youwei a chance to escape before he was forcibly escorted out.
"Lady Fang, Miss Lu, if you don’t want to be thrown out together, it’d be best not to do such things in the future."
The soldier issued a warning with an even, firm tone, but it was laden with a blatant threat.
Of course, being one of Lu Jin’s men, they naturally adopted some of his ferocious temperament.
Fang Lian and Lu Yuan were left speechless. Even as Lu Youwei protested loudly behind them, mother and daughter stood still, both understanding the twisted extent of Lu Jin’s character. If this matter were reported, they both feared they would end up like Fang Ya.
From a distance, Su Mo even nodded to them, her smile exuding an extra layer of danger.
Without having to guess, Lu Yuan knew who was behind this. All their misfortune and disgrace originated from this one woman, Su Mo.
Her face clouded over as she quickly approached, Su Mo, leaning on the car, watched her come closer, then was stopped by the bodyguard.
Lu Yuan’s eyes stuck to the stroller, her tone full of surprise, "You had a baby!"
Inside the stroller, Lu Ruixue glanced at her, blew a bubble, and sucked on her pacifier without giving her another look.
Lu Yuan, who had meant to say a few piercing words, was now utterly fixated on the child, "You had a baby with Lu Chen!?"
Her incredulous tone and eyes filled with jealousy almost to the point of madness didn’t escape Su Mo as she dangerously narrowed her eyes, "Lu Yuan, rein in your twisted thoughts, or I will make sure you never see this sky again."
Her presence emitted a powerful dominance, and Lu Yuan’s superpower had made little progress to date, making her no match for Su Mo; she was completely overpowered to the point of being pressed to the ground.
"Don’t take a lesson from Fang Ya and Lu Youwei; your end will be no better." This content belongs to NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Su Mo left behind the warning, pushing the stroller away.
The duck that was placed in the stroller was thrown out again by Lu Ruixue, and this time it hit Lu Yuan on the head with remarkable accuracy, emitting a loud quacking sound.
The bodyguard behind her picked up the duck and followed Su Mo to the other side.
After escorting her home, Lu Jin’s subordinates returned the way they had come.
This incident was bound to reach Lu Jin’s ears....
