The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

In the evening, when it was almost time to get off work, the gate of the institute opened and the car carrying Du Yansheng drove into the institute.

Du Yansheng resumed work one week earlier than the scheduled deadline set for him by District Chief Li.

Although the opponent's condition was still not good, his emotions and reason had stabilized, and he no longer mentioned those words about joining the team to find Li Shen.

District Chief Li personally escorted him back to the third floor, and after giving him numerous instructions, he left under the cover of night.

"Doctor, are you okay? I can finish the current work." In the laboratory, after Du Yansheng left, assistant Xiao Lin took care of most of the things.

He was now somewhat intimidated by the fifth floor, and was unwilling to step in unless necessary. Whenever he encountered some problems, he would usually ask You Mu through the communication.

Although he has had some setbacks, Xiaolin feels that he has made great progress these days. He can now make independent judgments on things that he used to be hesitant about.

Seeing Du Yansheng's still pale face, Xiao Lin was a little worried and couldn't help but want to persuade Du Yansheng to go back and rest. After all, it was late now.

"It's okay, I'm fine. Thank you for your hard work while I was away."

Shaking his head, Du Yansheng looked a little gloomy. He knew that he had suddenly gone on strike, and it was Xiaolin who was holding up the three floors.

"These are what I should do, Doctor. Are you really not going to take a rest?"

"No, you can go back. I'll give you three days off to make up for the extra work you've done before. Go ahead, you don't have to come tomorrow. Take a good rest for two days. I'll take care of the lab work."

After taking the information from Xiaolin's arms, Du Yansheng pushed Xiaolin and drove him out of the laboratory.

"Hey... Doctor, I didn't..."

Kobayashi was reluctant to leave and was still explaining when he was locked out.

"Oh..." With a sigh, Kobayashi no longer had any information on hand. Seeing that the door was tightly closed, there was nothing else he could do, so he turned around and took the elevator back.

In the room, Du Yansheng leaned against the door, and the long-accumulated strength he had used up all the time he had walked here. His legs went limp, and he slid down the door and sat on the ground.

But not long after, he had to prop himself up, as if urged by something, and opened the door with force, then staggered towards the fifth floor.

His information was recorded in the fingerprint lock of the holding room, and the door was easily opened by Du Yansheng.

He knew that 049 was locked up and suppressed, but he didn't know that the suppression drug researched by You Mu was so effective.

049 was immersed in water and it was difficult for him to maintain his upper body shape.

He seemed to have been in a coma. The chains on his neck and wrists almost sank into his flesh. The rough material rubbed against him, leaving traces of rotting skin and flesh all around.

"He is in pain." Du Yansheng whispered, unwilling to watch any longer.

"He was disobedient, and this is his punishment."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a voice suddenly appeared behind him, which frightened him. Turning around, Du Yansheng saw You Mu who appeared behind him without knowing when.

There was a thick bandage wrapped around the other person's neck, and there seemed to be blood flowing out.

"Are you injured?" In addition to the last time, he was attacked by 049 again during the days he was away?

His eyes fell on the bandage, Du Yansheng's pupils shrank, and he asked with some concern.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. Can you go back to work before you have had enough rest?" Stroking his neck, You Mu shook his head slightly, then turned to ask about Du Yansheng's condition.

"...I, I'm fine. Research in the laboratory is important and cannot be delayed, so...I came here." When he mentioned himself, Du Yansheng lowered his head sadly, with a somewhat evasive look in his eyes.

"It's time to get off work. You can continue your work tomorrow. Go and have a rest. It's time to turn off the lights."

He did not ask why Du Yansheng was here. This was a tacit understanding between the two of them. You Mu walked to the side of the door, ready to turn off the light above his head.

"...Okay, then, see you tomorrow." Du Yansheng found the stairs and walked down them. He walked out of the shelter room slowly and entered the elevator under You Mu's gaze.

Same position as before, one inside, one outside, just their positions are swapped.

His fingertips unconsciously tapped the edge of his clothes as he watched the elevator door slowly close. Du Yansheng wanted to say something, but his lips seemed to be stuck with glue and he couldn't get them free no matter what. In the end, he just looked away and lowered his head.

"Doctor, the files have been sorted, but the surveillance camera on the stairs seems to be broken. It was working fine just now..."

Wu Hua's voice came from behind, and she pointed to the monitor closest to the laboratory with some doubt.

"It's okay, just report it tomorrow. You've been tired these past few days, so I'll give you a day off? Do you want it?"

Turning his head, You Mu put down the hand that was on his neck.

"Great! The doctor is awesome! I want you, I want you!" The work at the research institute is tedious and tiring.

Although there are individual holidays according to the schedule, most of the time the plans cannot keep up with the changes, or some data errors or omissions delay the subsequent process, and working overtime and staying up late is the norm.

Except for the few days of leisure time when he was recuperating after the last shock, Wu Hua spent almost all his time in the research institute. It was a luxury for him to have a complete vacation.

When Wu Hua heard that there was a holiday, he was overjoyed. He put the matter of surveillance behind his mind, locked the door, turned off the lights, and left humming a song.

After get off work as usual, You Mu leaned against the elevator. There was a flashing surveillance camera above his head. He looked up and glanced at it casually, then went back to the sixth floor.

The flashing red light of the surveillance camera suddenly went out as the elevator door closed. The screen went dark, reflecting Du Yansheng's face.

He sat back in his chair, thinking back to the scene he had just seen through the screen, when You Mu looked up.

My heartbeat quickened.

At that moment, it seemed as if our eyes met through the screen, and all the haze in my heart was seen through by the other person.

Panting, Du Yansheng tried to calm down. His eyes fell on a corner of the ceiling. He stretched out his hands to cover his eyes and begged in a low voice:

"I'm already doing what you said, let him go... let him go..." Du Yansheng's eyes were filled with tears as he thought of his lover covered in blood and on the verge of death.

He didn't want this to happen, but Li Shen couldn't wait any longer...

He didn't know whether this choice...

The unknown things around him are always watching him and everything. How can he save his dying lover...

With his head down and his face covered, Du Yansheng suppressed his emotions and sobbed quietly.

The shadow fell on the table, ignoring Du Yansheng's emotional collapse, and ordered him to carry out his words in a threatening tone.

Du Yansheng's fingertips turned white from pressing on the edge of the table. He listened to the black shadow's threat, gritted his teeth in suppressed anger, wiped the tears from his cheeks, mustered up the strength to stand up, and prepared the medicine according to the other party's instructions.
