Chapter 1230 - 1230: Indestructible Body

"I just said earlier, it seems like there's a light on in this room. Which computer do you think is not turned off?"

"Even if a computer isn't turned off, what's it to you?"

"It's the doctors and researchers themselves who didn't shut it off. It seems a bit nosy for us to interfere, doesn't it?"

But among these two individuals, one happened to be extremely curious.

So when he heard another teammate saying he didn't want to go,

he immediately showed a look of incomprehension and said to him, "What do you know?"

"If we don't go and have a look now, what if something happens to you guys?"

"Also, as far as I know, the doctors inside generally don't leave their computers on, as it hampers data management."

"We're doing this for the company's good. I'm sure your dispatch company won't blame us once they know."

After hearing his reasoning, the other person had no choice but to nod and said, "Alright then, since you put it that way, we have no choice."

Extremely curious, they once again arrived at the door of the laboratory and saw Xiao Chen just coming out.

He was holding something, but fortunately, Xiao Chen was a smart person. While carrying his items, he used a document for cover.

He didn't directly take the USB drive in his hands, but even so, it aroused some suspicion from the two patrolling individuals.

"Mr. Xiao Chen, what are you doing here?"

"It's so late at night, why aren't you sleeping and still working overtime?"

It's known that those working overtime in this laboratory aren't just one person.

If there's overtime work, everyone does it together.

But everyone is asleep, how could he be here bustling around by himself? So everyone was suspicious.

In the face of their suspicion, he simply smiled slightly and said, "Because my few teammates are already asleep, so I can only take out this needed material."

"If it needs improvements later, I'll have to bring it back and redo it, so tonight's overtime is worth it."

After hearing this, the two patrollers looked at each other, unsure of whether they should believe him.

But Xiao Chen has never been a bad person, so it should be fine.

The two nodded and said,

"Since that's the case, we won't question further. But Mr. Xiao Chen, being so late, you really should get more rest."

Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the two didn't interrogate him thoroughly, or else he'd find it hard to come up with other excuses.

If it alerted his lab teammates,

it'd be hard to explain, so he could only nod and say, "Thank you, I'll be heading out. Do you want me to bring you some snacks when I return?"

The two guards quickly shook their heads and said, "That's not necessary."

...

"Mr. Xiao Chen, we're just patrols, you're an expert. We can't take your stuff."

"Rest assured, tonight's matter isn't anything major; we won't spread it around."

Xiao Chen was naturally willing to believe their promise.

So bidding farewell to these two patrollers, he pretended to go do some experimenting, then went down to call Zhang Kaitian.

Because he had to quickly inform the other party of this news.

But Zhang Kaitian clearly wouldn't wait for his call, as he was lying in bed holding someone.

Being awakened by the phone really irritated him.

"Hey? What's the matter? If you called me without anything urgent today, you won't see your sister tomorrow."

He casually lashed out, making Xiao Chen extremely displeased.

Because he risked getting the stuff out.

However,

Instead of appreciation, Zhang Kaitian threatened him.

For him, it was a surge of resentment once more.

He said to Zhang Kaitian on the phone, "I've got what you wanted. Do you want me to courier it to you or have someone pick it up?"

Facing Zhang Kaitian, he had no interest in continuing a messy exchange, so he came straight to the point.

After speaking, Zhang Kaitian immediately gave his response, saying, "Just courier it to me. It won't take half a day, so hurry and don't delay it any longer. That's it."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen didn't put his phone down for a long time, trembling while holding it.

Because he resented Zhang Kaitian's attitude toward him, as he couldn't reclaim his sister from him, nor did he know which hospital she was in.

Whenever he met his sister, Zhang Kaitian would relocate her, so even knowing which hospital she was in last month was futile.

This month, if he didn't meet her, it meant she'd been transferred to another hospital, maybe even abroad at times.

Thus, Xiao Chen deeply resented Zhang Kaitian, yet had to submit.

This had long brewed hatred in his heart.

Once he rescued his sister, he vowed not to spare this scum; he breathed heavily.

Then he pocketed the USB drive before returning to the lab, as no courier would deliver at this late hour.

Upon returning, he found that his teammates sleeping on the lab table were all awake.

Seeing people, he nodded, then sat and said to his teammates, "I just went out, but the barbecue shop was already closed. I'll bring you food next time."

In front of his teammates, Xiao Chen was always gentle. After this, everyone nodded without any suspicion.

"Who'd have thought, Xiao Chen, you're really indestructible, staying awake so late."

"We only woke up after a nap, so do you want to sleep a bit now? You seem to have been outside without returning."

Facing his teammates' concern,

Xiao Chen merely shook his head slightly, always amiable within this lab, so his words

made everyone feel close to him, forming fraternal bonds in the building.

Thinking of betraying Lin Feng and so many good brothers for saving his sister made him feel guilty, spacing out, only for a nearby teammate to nudge him.

Then suspiciously asked, "Why are you spacing out, Xiao Chen? We've begun allocating the elixir for the next seven days to report to boss Lin Feng."

"Don't screw up, normally you're fine. You must be too tired, so why not sleep a bit now?"

This mission was crucial and couldn't afford mistakes.

Lin Feng himself had resolved most hassles earlier.

If they didn't follow through properly, Xiao Chen's casual slacking behavior might not be tolerated.

Everyone felt some resistance in their hearts but didn't voice it, after all, they were good brothers.

Xiao Chen shook his head saying, "I'll wash my face with cold water and come back to work with you."

He could indeed sleep first, but felt guilty toward them, so sought another way to compensate them.

They nodded without insisting, leaving his choices up to him.

Moreover,

everyone trusted Xiao Chen's expertise.
