Chapter 238 - SWAT THE FLIES (2/2)

Zhong Feng did not rush her even as she babbled on.

”Anyway, my memories after being abducted by the Global Volunteer Doctors have become a lot clearer.” She took a deep breath. ”One of the doctors who worked in that lab was Huo Kang.”

Zhong Feng frowned. ”Your great uncle?”

Hu Lei was surprised. ”You know about him?”

Zhong Feng did not respond for a while. Of course, he had investigated every part of the Huo Clan before he had considered sending Hu Lei there. He would not make decisions or trust anyone based on blood. Naturally, he had found out about Huo Kang.

Unfortunately, there were no records about his work after he left the Huo clan until he died and his remains were sent to his family.

”I have heard of him.” He finally said.

”Dr Huo told me about him. It seems that before my father left the clan they were close. He left soon after that and no one heard from him. He fell out with grandpa because of some work that they were doing together.”

”What exactly do you remember?” Zhong Feng asked seriously.

”There is not a lot even with my recovered memories because I was sedated for the most part. I think that he was the head of the lab or something. I felt that he looked familiar when I saw his picture in the Huo Clan's hall of fame, some lounge where they place photos of clan members with merit.”

Zhong Feng felt overwhelmed by anger at the thought that someone who had harmed his Hu Lei had been enshrined and honoured. And he had sent her to their tainted lair. He could not bear the thought that she could be suffering turmoil, living in the same place as the evil man lived.

”I am sorry, Xiao Lei. I shouldn't have sent you there. I will come to get you.” He was already making arrangements of having her return to Supreme with him in his mind. If he needed to build a fort to protect her, he would.

Hu Lei laughed. ”Don't be silly. I am totally fine. I have met so many nice people from the Huo Clan, and I am getting better. Plus, I can't hide from pain and darkness. That is what made me experience identity disturbance in the first place. Anyway, he wasn't a completely evil person. He was just like my dad. They let their pursuit of the way of medicine cloud their judgement in every other way.”

”Actually, I was not treated too badly at that time. At least, he did not drill my head.” She made a bad joke.

'If it was not too bad, then why did you repress the memory?' Zhong Feng thought.

Hu Lei would not have answered honestly if he had asked. But she had remembered why. It was the first time she had killed. At the time, one of the children who had been experimented on had gone berserk. He had started attacking everyone and even killed two other children.

However, instead of helping, the ȧduŀts in the lab had probably treated it as another fun experiment. All of them in that dormitory had been in danger. So, Hu Lei had stepped forward and fought the larger boy until she bashed his head.

It had changed something in her. That changed something had made her mother more afraid of her. And that changed something had made her father see her potential as a killer.

”Don't push yourself. If you are not comfortable, I will come there to get you immediately.” Zhong Feng promised.

Hu Lei felt warmth envelop her heart, and it made her more determined to work through the treatment.

”I promise I will let you know if anything changes. For now, just look into the connection between Huo Kang and Global Volunteer Doctors. I have a feeling that these are the keys to discovering the identity of that organisation.”

Zhong Feng too felt that this was a huge possibility.
