Ye Mu

[Missed Calls: 3]

[Caller: Lu Xun]

The phone screen inside the plastic film suddenly lit up. A figure wearing a protective suit opened the safe with his left hand, and his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the caller ID on it, his eyes narrowing slightly...

He didn't hesitate much, still locking the sealed phone, keys, smart watch, and other personal belongings into the cabinet.

After doing all this, he turned around and walked towards the corridor.

In the brightly lit laboratory corridor, several figures also wearing protective suits were busy shuttling back and forth. He walked through the crowd with ease, pushing open the door of a room.

"Supervisor, Lu Xun called Chu Changqing, three calls in a row." He said while closing the door.

The one called supervisor was a man in his early forties, wearing a black leather jacket. At this time, he was quietly standing in front of a giant one-way glass. Hearing this sentence, he didn't have any expression.

"Supervisor... you say, will Lu Xun come back to snatch the person?"

"Watch your wording." The supervisor glanced at him. "Dr. Lu is our Bureau 749's scientific research cooperative personnel. Our goal is all for the progress of human civilization... If Dr. Lu is willing to come back, of course it's a good thing."

The young man wearing the protective suit was somewhat embarrassed. After glancing at the one-way glass, he still responded:

"... Yes."

Behind the one-way glass was a huge white room. Various instruments were placed all over the room, and there were four or five fully armed figures wearing biohazard suits busy working inside... And in the exact center of the room, a figure wearing a White Lab Coat was quietly sitting there. Both his hands and feet were restrained on the seat. A pair of eyes with a faint trace of blue-green intent were watching the direction of the one-way glass.

"Supervisor... why do I feel like he is looking at us?" The young man's heart grew hairy being stared at by those eyes, unable to help asking.

"He can't see." The supervisor said lightly. "This is a one-way glass. Only we can see him. From his perspective, it's just an ordinary mirror..."

"I can see."

Chu Changqing on the seat suddenly opened his mouth. His voice even caused the entire piece of glass to resonate, easily penetrating into the observation room behind the one-way glass.

At this moment, the supervisor's expression changed slightly, but very quickly returned to normal.

"Dr. Chu, eavesdropping is not a good habit."

"I wasn't eavesdropping, I just happened to be able to hear... and also happened to be able to see." Chu Changqing's voice was incomparably calm. "You want to study me, I can understand, and can also accept. But since we are in a cooperative relationship, you should at least politely untie the restraints on my body... instead of making me feel like I am a white mouse."

"I am truly sorry, Dr. Chu. For the safety of the laboratory, we cannot untie you." The supervisor paused for a moment. "After all, if you grow wings, claws and fangs again, destroying the equipment here, we will have a big headache..."

"Last time I was just in legitimate self-defense. You guys used anesthetic weapons first."

"The mutation produced on your body is too dangerous, we also had no other choice..."

"Had no other choice?" Chu Changqing sneered. "I guess I misjudged you guys. I thought you guys were somehow different from the previous Director Zheng. I didn't expect Bureau 749 from top to bottom are all jackals from the same lair... Director Zheng being able to secretly transfer Lu Xun and me here, should also have the instructions of the higher-ups, right?"

"The higher-ups' matters, I am not clear. I only know the outside world is undergoing bad changes... And the secrets hidden on your bodies perhaps have countless ties to the changes." The supervisor slowly opened his hands,

"You yourself are also a doctor in cell biology. You should know that the progress of technology and medical level is all built on a massive amount of experiments."

"I don't think you can research anything out from my body relying on these things." Chu Changqing snorted coldly. "Before you guys discovered my anomaly, I had already researched myself many times..."

"You not being able to research it out, doesn't mean others can't..."

The supervisor was just about to say something. Another figure wearing a protective suit suddenly came in from the outside, leaning to his ear and said:

"Supervisor, according to your instructions, we invited Professor Ye over."

"Bring him in."

"Yes."

As the figure in the protective suit left, the brow of Chu Changqing behind the glass instantly furrowed tightly. "You guys actually invited Professor Ye?"

"Professor Ye is the number one person in the domestic biology field. We are also very clear about the relationship between you and him... So I said, you not being able to research it out, doesn't mean he can't."

Just as the supervisor was speaking, the door behind him slowly opened.

"Cough cough cough..."

A weak coughing sound sounded from the rear. Only a white-haired figure could be seen sitting on a wheelchair, being slowly pushed into the observation room by several figures wearing protective suits.

That was an old man in his seventies, wearing a simple Chinese tunic suit. The wrinkles on his face were still narrating the traces of time. He covered his mouth with one hand and coughed lightly, his expression seeming somewhat pained. But that pair of aged eyes contained the clarity of wisdom.

In front of this old man, even the supervisor took a half step back, respectfully opening his mouth:

"Professor Ye, haven't seen you in so many years, is your health okay?"

"... I'm old, I already can't see too clearly." Professor Ye shook his head. "What exactly is the experimental sample you guys mentioned? Where is it?"

"Right there."

The supervisor reached out and pointed behind the glass.

Professor Ye looked up towards that direction. His aged eyes narrowed into a slit, seemingly still unable to see too clearly. He gestured for the people behind to help push him forward a bit, until he almost stuck to the glass, then stopped.

Professor Ye saw that face clearly, and was suddenly taken aback,

"You are... Chu Changqing?"

Chu Changqing was locked on the seat, his eyes with blue-green intent looking at that vicissitudes-filled old man, his expression incomparably complicated...

Who knows how long passed before he opened his lips, softly calling out:

"It's me, Professor Ye."

Professor Ye's body couldn't help trembling. He supported the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair with his hands, stumbling to stand up. That pair of aged eyes was full of anger, glaring deadly at the supervisor behind him!

"You... you..."

"Do you know... he is my student???"

Professor Ye's face turned red from anger. He actually pushed away the wheelchair, staggering to rush in front of the supervisor, grabbing his collar!

"You arrested my proudest student and locked him up here, letting me come to slice and study my student?? This is the 'major biological discovery' you spoke of?!!"

Facing the questioning of an old man, the supervisor's complexion was still calm. He slowly opened his mouth:

"Professor Ye, a 'major discovery' is a 'major discovery'. It has no relationship with... whether it is human, or whether it is your student."
