Chapter 1305: Help Was Here
When Huo Yulin got to the office entrance, he bit his lip and did his utmost to shake off the giddiness. He looked at the assistant quizzically and asked. “Why does he want to see me anyway?”
The assistant raised his head and glanced at Huo Yulin as he retrieved the access card from his pocket. As he swiped the card, he replied. “I don’t know either. I think someone from the virus research team is here and they want to see you.”
Huo Yulin lowered his eyes quizzically. Why would someone from the virus research department want to see him?
The office door opened, so he did not have time to think about it anymore.
Huo Yulin flung his head and did his best to stay conscious before entering the office with the assistant.
“He’s here,” said the assistant softly. The president was sitting on the couch, so the assistant walked over and stood beside the president.
Only three people were in the office. Other than the president, he could see two unfamiliar faces.
One of them was in his thirties while the other was in his fifties.
Huo Yulin glanced at them quizzically since he did not know either of them.
He composed himself and took a couple of steps forward, but he did not go too close to them. He nodded and said, “Did you want to see me?”
The president waved his hand and gestured for him to take a seat. He looked at the two other people sitting on the couch and introduced Huo Yulin to them. “This is Huo Yulin. He used to work for T5 Research Institute.”
......
The two of them were already looking at Huo Yulin. The younger man lost his cool and went straight up in front of Huo Yulin. “Mr. Huo, you’re finally here.”
Huo Yulin looked at Lei Xiao quizzically. “You…”
The younger man could smell blood the moment he got closer to Huo Yulin. Lei Xiao was startled, but he continued looking at Huo Yulin and smiled politely without giving Huo Yulin away.
Huo Yulin was stunned.
The younger man reached his hand out and held Huo Yulin’s arm. He turned to look at the president and smiled happily as he said, “In that case, I’m going to borrow him from you.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he left the office swiftly, taking Huo Yulin along with him.
Judging from the look on his face, he seemed very excited.
The two of them quickly disappeared through the door. When the older man realized what the younger man had done, he cleared his throat awkwardly and looked at the president. “My bad! Lei Xiao tends to get excited and over-enthusiastic about research.”
The president shook his head and did not take it to heart. “He’s young, so it’ll do him good.”
The older man smiled in response. He did not leave right away and stayed to chat with the president.
**
The moment they stepped out of the president’s office, the younger man let go of Huo Yulin’s arm.
“There’s surveillance here,” explained the younger man. “Try to act normal for a little longer.”
Huo Yulin gritted his teeth and acknowledged him softly.
When they were at the office, the younger man mouthed two words to Huo Yulin.
It was his little sister’s name, so Huo Yulin simply followed the man without hesitating.
They walked over to the lift unhurriedly until the lift door closed. Huo Yulin could no longer support himself and leaned against the wall of the lift.
Thankfully, there was no surveillance in the lift.
Lei Xiao supported him worriedly. “Are you okay?”
Huo Yao rarely asked Lei Xiao for help, so he did not want to botch this up. He would rather kill himself than screw up.
