The surroundings fell into silence, and it seemed that the only sound that could be heard in this space was Song Shengshi's own breathing.

Hearing footsteps, Song Shengshi pricked up his ears and listened, thinking that this should be the boss they were talking about.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to him. Song Shengshi's heart beat faster and his mouth began to dry out and he felt nervous.

A hand grabbed the cloth bag on his head and took it off with force. The strong light was a little dazzling. Song Shengshi squinted with tears in his eyes.

"Oh? Are you scared and crying? You are so timid." A female voice came. Song Shengshi struggled with his blurry vision to vaguely distinguish that the person in front of him was a woman with a black ponytail.

He sniffed and said painfully, "No... you were too strong just now and pulled my hair out."

The woman glanced at the ground and it seemed that there really were a few hairs there. She laughed guiltily, then pinched Song Shengshi's face with one hand and looked him up and down.

"He's really good-looking, no wonder he can be a star." When he saw the wound on Song Shengshi's forehead, he took a breath, straightened up, and glared at the three burly men who were standing beside him and cowering.

"Lin Bei, didn't you tell me not to hurt him?"

The leading young man stepped forward, scratched his head and said, "We didn't expect him to be so weak. Didn't you ask us to perform a trick under the surveillance camera at the intersection to attract the police?"

"I told you it was just a show. Did I really ask you to hurt him? How am I going to explain this to the boss?"

Big boss? Song Shengshi inexplicably felt that this title was somewhat familiar.

His vision had become clear again, and Song Shengshi looked up at the woman standing next to him.

Eh?

This face seems a little familiar...

But Song Shengshi had no memory of ever meeting her.

After scolding the strong man, the woman looked down and saw Song Shengshi looking at her with confusion. She thought he was very cute and pinched his face.

"Kid, do you want to know who I am?" the woman said arrogantly.

Song Shengshi nodded hesitantly.

"I'm the boss here, your father's best friend, you're still as cute as when you were a kid, you can call me Aunt Xu."

"?" Song Shengshi was a little confused when he heard "his father's best friend", but he suddenly realized when he heard the last sentence.

"Ah—you are Xu Mo!" Song Shengshi subconsciously said her name directly.

"You're quite rude at such a young age. It seems your father has talked to you a lot about me." A smug look appeared on Xu Mo's face, and then his expression quickly turned into sadness as he thought of something.

"It's just that I haven't met your father yet... What a pity. I don't know how your father is doing in China. I haven't been in touch with him for a long time..."

Song Shengshi's expression had become empty. He didn't know how to respond to every word she said. After all, it was he who caused the current situation because he was too lazy to explain at that time. The reason why they hadn't been in touch for a long time was because the mobile phone he had used to communicate with Xu Mo was forgotten in Korea.

He didn't know what had happened to him, he actually missed such an important thing.

"Um...so why did you tie me up here?" Song Shengshi couldn't help but interrupt Xu Mo's sorrow. His teammates must be anxious at this moment, so he had to find a way to report his safety as soon as possible.

"Oh! Yes, time is running out, we have to get down to business." Xu Mo slapped his forehead, thinking that he almost forgot something important.

"It's related to what your father told me to do before, to build a laboratory in China. It's my fault. I did something inappropriate once before and was targeted. I was almost attacked in China before. It's not convenient to build a force to protect myself in China, so I ran to Los Angeles. These people are my capable men."

"Lin Bei, Li Wangzhao, and Julia."

Song Shengshi turned around and looked at the sturdy man named Julia in surprise. The sturdy man noticed Song Shengshi's gaze, greeted him in the Chinese way, clasped his fists, and said, "Nice to meet you, you are quite light."

Although it's not a sweet voice, it's obviously a female voice.

Song Shengshi was devastated and looked back as if his whole body was broken.

"Don't be sad. There are few people in the team who are stronger than Julia. She is a genius." Xu Mo said with a smile.

Lin Bei and Li Wangzhao also nodded in agreement.

"Your father sent a batch of samples back to China before, didn't he?" Xu Mo continued.

Song Shengshi nodded. After the equipment and personnel were arranged, Song Shengshi sent a batch of his own blood back to China. However, it had undergone simple processing, such as using molecular membranes to filter out several blood-fixed substances.

It didn't specify on it that it was his blood. They just randomly generated a number and labeled it as protease and sent it back.

"There were three tubes of samples in total. Two tubes were used for various preliminary experiments. The last tube was stolen." A solemn expression appeared on Xu Mo's face.

"It's not clear whether it was done by my competitor or the establishment of the laboratory got in the way, but this matter must be handled by someone trustworthy back in China."

"I've thought about it, and you're the most suitable candidate." Xu Mo looked at his watch and gestured to the three people standing next to him.

The three of them exchanged glances, nodded, and left the room.

"I have made some simple arrangements for you. When you return, you will receive a not-so-small invitation from China. Accept it and return home. Don't worry about anything else. Just find the lost sample."

"You only have two weeks."
