Chapter 1198: Chapter 1197: Where’s the Little Mouse?

The screen suddenly paused. Just as Luo Xudong felt suspicious, he spotted something stuck on the wall, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

What was stuck on the wall weren’t ordinary things, but a wall full of photos, mostly of children, with some adults too. A few were marked out prominently, and among them, he recognized two.

One was Hou Baiyu, and the other was Luo Yirui!

Looking at the photo wall, a thought suddenly flashed through Luo Yirui’s mind about Hao Rong’s aunt, Hao Meili, who had spoken about the Black Coal Ball.

On her deathbed, she said she had seen Luo Yirui, seen his photos from that place.

Back then, although Luo Yirui believed it, it was far less complicated than seeing it with his own eyes.

Someone had already targeted him, yet he was completely unaware.

"I want to go down there." Luo Yirui said.

A deep voice responded with a low ’um’ through the headset, agreeing to Luo Yirui’s proposal, as he also knew who the owner of the room was.

Little Fatty scratched his head, "Alright, let’s go down together."

He thought Luo Yirui was talking to him.

With his father’s approval, Luo Yirui felt somewhat confident. He was just about to open the small window of the ventilation shaft when Luo Xudong stopped him, "Wait a moment."

Luo Yirui paused in his movements and pretended to check the specialized tools without letting Little Fatty notice anything unusual.

"Step back, stay silent, lower your breathing." Luo Xudong continuously reminded.

Luo Yirui realized that a formidable person might be coming in, and quickly warned Little Fatty, who immediately lowered his breathing and retreated.

The two left the position of the small window, but still left a gap to see people moving about, too bad their faces couldn’t be seen.

The person wandered in the room for a while, it was unclear what he did, and soon left, but Luo Xudong’s alarm was still active, Luo Yirui saw Little Fatty wanted to move, immediately gave him a gesture.

At this moment, that person returned and stood in the middle of the room, looked up, "Where are the little mice?"

Little Fatty’s eyes suddenly widened in fear, they’d been discovered!

He looked at Luo Yirui, who shook his head, gesturing him not to make a sound, causing Little Fatty to fearfully shut his eyes tight.

Luo Yirui seemed frozen in place, motionless.

"By the time, they should be in this position already." That person murmured, moved a chair under the ventilation shaft, and stepped on it as if planning to open the vent and peek inside.

This action made Luo Yirui break out in a cold sweat, thankfully Little Fatty had his eyes shut, otherwise who knows what mistake might have occurred.

"Director Ma!" At this time, someone rushed in through the door, urgently speaking to the man on the chair, "An experimental subject is experiencing an issue, you should come quickly!"

Director Ma, who had been about to inspect, disregarded everything else, jumped off the chair, and hurriedly followed him out.

Not long after, Luo Xudong’s voice sounded, "You can go down now, don’t step on the chair."

Luo Yirui immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his heart had almost leapt out of his chest moments before; he was even prepared to fiercely kick any head appearing through the vent.

He reached for the small window, only then realizing it hadn’t been opened, if someone wanted to peek in, they’d have a hard time.

When going down, Luo Yirui reminded Little Fatty not to step on the chair.

Little Fatty jumped directly to the ground, complaining, "This chair is really not a place, almost got smashed."
