Three in the morning.

Tan Yunliang dragged his exhausted body back home.

As soon as he sat down, Tan Jilin's voice came from upstairs.

"Father, why did you come back so late?"

Tan Yunliang looked back and saw that Tan Jilin was walking downstairs in his pajamas.

"Something happened at the research institute, which delayed some time. What about you, why haven't you slept yet?"

"Get up and go to the bathroom. When you see the lights downstairs are on, come down and have a look."

Tan Jilin poured himself a glass of water, and asked casually, "What happened to the research institute?"

Tan Yunliang replied with a sullen face: "Someone sneaked into the research institute secretly, and I don't know what the purpose is."

Tan Jilin paused, and took down the water glass that had just been brought to his mouth.

"The security system of the research institute is tight, how did that person get in?"

"I've seen the security surveillance. That person came prepared, wearing special uniforms and shoes, and climbed in from the outer wall. It's a pity that he was wrapped tightly, so I couldn't see his face clearly..."

Tan Yunliang's tone was slightly angry: "However, I beat him with a stick during his escape, which was enough for him to lie down for ten days and a half months, and it was a lesson, letting him know that the research institute is not so easy to break into! "

Tan Jilin drank the water carelessly, and did not comment on this matter.

But he could probably guess in his heart who did this.

"Father, I think this is a good thing."

"What do you mean?"

"This person broke into the research institute at night, and we are more responsible. This shows that our security system is still not perfect, otherwise, how can we give people the opportunity?"

Tan Yunliang nodded.

"You're right. I've made arrangements overnight. Starting tomorrow, the security system must be upgraded, and protective measures must be taken on the outer wall."

"Since my father has already made arrangements, I don't need to worry about anything else. I'll go to bed first."

Tan Jilin put down his water glass and got up to go back to his room.

When passing by his father, he found two long and thin scratches on his father's arm, and stopped again.

"By the way, father, the thief didn't hurt you, did he?"

Tan Yunliang said disdainfully: "I have weapons for self-defense, and he doesn't dare to get close to me. How can he hurt me? Ji Lin, you can rest assured and go to sleep."

Tan Jilin's gaze flicked across his arm again, and then quickly retracted.

"That's good, I'm going upstairs, and you should go to bed earlier."

"Ah."

Tan Yunliang nodded.

It wasn't until Tan Jilin went upstairs that he discovered the injury on his arm.

This was the result of pulling and scratching with Wei Yu before.

Seeing the injury, his first reaction was to look upstairs.

Tan Jilin had already returned to the room, and the upstairs was quiet, there was no movement at all.

Only then did he put his eyes away in relief.

It seems that the son didn't find anything, otherwise he would definitely be questioned.

He didn't stay in the lobby too long, got up and went back to the room to treat the wound.

After the hall lights went out, Tan Jilin appeared at the stairs on the second floor.

In the darkness, he kept looking in the direction of his father's room, his eyes getting darker and darker.

-

Yujing Bieyuan.

Early in the morning.

As soon as Mu Jingchen walked out of the room, the butler came to report: "Young master, a guest came and said he was your friend. I asked him to wait downstairs."

"understood."

When Mu Jingchen went downstairs, he saw Tan Jilin sitting on the sofa at a glance.

Pausing on the spot for two seconds, he walked towards Tan Jilin.

"Master Tan, come to see me so early in the morning, is there anything important?"

Tan Jilin didn't show off, and said bluntly: "Mr. Mu, you should know why I came here."

Mu Jingchen smiled lightly and did not speak.

"There are alarms everywhere in the research institute. It is lucky that Mr. Mu's people escaped by chance last night. Next time, they may not be so lucky."

Mu Jingchen looked up at him.

"Are you reminding me, or warning me?"

"Mr. Mu doesn't have to be hostile to me. My words don't mean to warn you. Mrs. Mu's matter involves my father. Like Mr. Mu, I want to find out the truth as soon as possible. I just hope that Mr. Mu will not If you act without authorization, otherwise you will be self-defeating, and this matter will become even more difficult."

Mu Jingchen was a little surprised by Tan Jilin's sincerity instead of accusing him of what happened last night.

Although he had approached Tan Jilin before and expressed his desire to help him, he was Tan Yunliang's son after all, and Mu Jingchen never really believed in him, so he acted without authorization last night.

Now these words changed his view of him.

If Tan Jilin and his father were in the same boat, there would be no need for him to make this trip today.

"Of course I understand what Young Master Tan said, but my wife's life and death are unknown, so I really can't just sit and wait for death, so I can only make this terrible plan."

Tan Jilin nodded in understanding.

"I am very aware of Mr. Mu's anxious mood. I came here today to tell you that I will find an opportunity to search the research institute as soon as possible and give you an answer. But before that, I hope that Mr. Mu can wait for my news with peace of mind and don't have any more news. action."

Mu Jingchen did not refuse: "Then please trouble Master Tan."

The two reached an agreement, and Tan Jilin didn't stay here too long, and left soon.

Mu Jingchen looked at the door, worried.

Although he got Tan Jilin's guarantee, he and Tan Yunliang were family after all, so he didn't dare to trust him 100%.

But now, he can only give it a try.

-

After Tan Jilin left from Yujing Bieyuan, he went straight back to the research institute.

While doing things at work, his mind kept flashing the injury on his father's arm last night, which prevented him from devoting himself to work.

A small experiment, but there were several mistakes in the middle.

When pouring a chemical liquid into a glass container, I almost poured the harmful liquid on my skin because I was distracted.

"Ji Lin!"

Lu Cong, who had just returned to the research institute, noticed this situation, and immediately stopped him and stopped him, which did not lead to serious consequences.

"Ji Lin, what are you thinking about? Don't know if you can't be distracted while doing the experiment, it's very dangerous!"

Tan Jilin was brought back to his thoughts, put down the experimental product in his hand, and was about to say something when the scar on Lu Cong's wrist caught his attention.

This scar was caused by Lu Cong's experiment, so it has not been eliminated.

Seeing this, Tan Jilin couldn't help thinking about Huangfu Liyue, and became even more upset.

Seeing this, Lu Cong asked casually: "What's the matter with you kid, you usually pay the most attention to the safety of the experiment, why are you becoming careless now?"

"It's okay, I just didn't sleep well last night and my spirits are not good."

Tan Jilin raised his head and saw the gauze wrapped around his neck, remembering that he was injured and hospitalized before.

"Dr. Lu, your injury hasn't healed yet, why did you come to work?"

Lu Cong said nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury, so we can't delay work because of it."
