After Jin Xianglan left, Lu Jia’er went into the ladies’ room. When she came out and was about to head back to the lab, she felt someone grabbing her hand and that someone dragged her into a corner.

She was starting to fight back when she suddenly realized that it was Jin Xiangdong.

Lu Jia’er was surprised. “Ace?”

The next second, Jin Xiangdong covered up her mouth with his hands so that she could not make any other sounds. “Shush!”

Lu Jia’er was confused by all these mysterious actions. But a few seconds later, she noticed something was off. The expression in his eyes and his scent were different from Jin Xiangdong’s. More importantly, after Lu Jia’er learned how to change people’s appearances, she could recognize those tricks of disguise.

Lu Jia’er shook off his hands. “You are not Ace, are you?”

Jin Xiangdong was about to cover up her mouth again when she said in a low voice. “Ian!”

Ian’s hands were frozen in the air. He blinked. Putting his hands down, Ian whispered, “It is me!”

Lu Jia’er could only think of using the word elusive to describe Ian here.

“Where is Ace?” Lu Jia’er wanted to immediately confirm if Jin Xiangdong was safe.

“I knocked him out in the bathroom,” Ian admitted his true identity.

“What?” This came as a shock to Lu Jia’er.

Ian went on, “Jia’er, you should not have come here.”

Looking into Ian’s eyes, Lu Jia’er asked in a low voice, “What is happening? What are you doing here?”

“This is a long story. I cannot make it clear to you at this moment. Besides, this place is on full lock-down. It is not a place for us to talk.” Ian was looking around as he uttered those words.

Lu Jia’er hesitated for a bit after she heard this. “Will Ace be safe?” She kept her voice low.

Ian lowered his head to her. “Yes!”

“Are you sure?” Lu Jia’er had to make sure.
