“Luo Su…” Ning Jing suddenly started crying “He’s gone mad He wanted to smash the bronze book and I went to push hier He hit me on the head with the hammer… Whuuh…”
She eak and timid and could not bear this sort of horror
“Don’t cry I’m here, no one can hurt you,” coht’ve been better not to co buried herself further in his eroup of experts who had escaped the laboratory all looked at the eazes odd
Xia Lei was e Jing away; it would be too ungentle over and they charged into the laboratory to subdue the ra Luo Su
“You pieces of trash!+ I am one of the Eastern Depot’s Embroidered Uniforled to release himself from the soldiers
The soldiers were men who depended on their brawn for their livelihood - Luo Su stood no chance The soldiers seized him and moved him out of the laboratory like a trussed chicken
“Mao dark?” Luo Su suddenly said, his voice child-like
Xia Lei’s heart thumped ‘He’s in the sa rapidly and it doesn’t matter if it’shis brain?’
Xia Lei’s gaze went abruptly to the two pieces of ancient alloy in the laboratory The experts here called it ‘Metal X’ but he preferred to call it ‘ancient alloy’
The two pieces of ancient alloy still sat on aequipment had been destroyed by Luo Su’s ha ca’s hair was still wet and it was apparent that she had rushed out of her shower before even having the tiotten to put on the anti-bacterial suit as per regulations in her haste; she was justsobbing broken-heartedly in Xia Lei’s arms the moment she arrived and she wrinkled her brows as she oes…”
“Doctor Ning, go to theLei in dissatisfaction “You are already in your late twenties What is there to cry about for a s like this? Go on, move Don’t disrupt the work that has to be done here”
Ning Jing felt wronged and looked gloo Lei before she pulled herself out of Xia Lei’s e Lei was an old, strict scientist and a little unfeeling Ning Jing did have a problematic personality but he should not have berated her so, especially in front of so many people
Xia Lei had so Lei at first, especially since he was an established National Scholar and a Doctor of the sciences but he now felt soust towards him
It was a virtue to respect and love one’s elders but it was not right to take advantage of one’s seniority to bully others
wang Lei went to Xia Lei after o away “Mr Xia, didn’t you say that you had sohts on the matter? Tell me Tell htenyou know I’ll help you straighten your thoughts out” wang Lei was anxious
Xia Lei wrinkled his brows “Scholar wang, do you think I ahts?”
wang Lei paused, and his face turned ugly No one had spoken to him like that, not fordrew close and nudged Xia Lei, telling him to watch his tone
Xia Lei pretended not to notice “Scholar wang, I was the one who brought this alloy back I nearly lost uys don’t knohat I’ve been through I bribed the armed tribesmen to make the journey easier and open up paths for us to take And what is this now? Excludingto steal that alloy and the results of your research away Let me tell you that I wouldn’t even hand it to you if I didn’t feel like it”
“Mr Xia, I know you have contributedLei with a solemn face, “But this is not the time to talk of contribution, or credit for work done You just need to tell er flared in Xia Lei “Are you saying I am here to clai Lei’s face was dark with discontent
Xia Lei was so angry he gave a laugh “What do I ing for me to do this and that fro on - who knohat you’re trying toLei was rooted to the spot with anger
Long Bing knew that Xia Lei had definitely not co Lei had misunderstood him She knehat it was like to have been mistaken by others and it was normal for Xia Lei to feel unco reaction was just too much The development put her in a spot and she didn’t kno to resolve it
Xia Lei thought to hioodbye so offending wang Lei is a great excuse to exit It’ll be better the angrier he is, so there’s no need to hold back’
“Fine Fine!” wang Lei caught his breath at last and he pointed a finger at Xia Lei as he said, “Leave! I don’t believe that on’t be able to conduct any research without you!”
“Sure, I’ll leave You think I want to stay here? I wouldn’t want to come even if you carryinto wang Lei
wang Lei shook with anger He pointed at Xia Lei but looked at Long Bing “You see this, Chief Long? See what sort of person you’ve brought here! I’ll be reporting this to the higher-ups!”
