11:15 am.

The taxi He Ao took stopped at the entrance of an alley not far from the institute.

After bidding farewell to the taxi driver, He Ao walked into the alleyway.

This alleyway was very dark, and the road was somewhat dilapidated and decayed. However, the alleyway was very short. He Ao didn't take a few steps before he saw the light from the exit in the distance.

His body soon disappeared into this light.

At the exit of the alleyway, there was a black car parked.

He Ao opened the passenger door and sat directly in.

"Shall we leave now?"

The person sitting in the driver's seat threw a bag containing clothes to He Ao.

"lets go."

He Ao leaned on the passenger seat and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The silent vehicle made gentle engine noise and slowly drove deeper into the street.

——

The dark car was driving on a narrow and dilapidated road. It seemed that no one had maintained the place for a long time, and the ground was obviously uneven.

The one-way blackout glass concealed the scene inside the car, but judging from the fact that the car did not slow down at all, the driver of the car did not seem to care about the bumpy road.

Passing through this uneven road at high speed makes the entire car spend almost half of the time in the air, and the vehicle bumps up and down like a merry-go-round.

After nearly hitting the wall several times, the dark car finally stopped.

Two figures got out of the car.

They seemed to be two men, slightly different in height. Both were wrapped in heavy coats, woolen hats that covered most of their heads, and thick sunglasses.

After the two got out of the car, they looked around and quickly turned into a remote alley nearby.

And not long after they left, a young man wearing ordinary clothes slowly walked out from the corner of the road.

He pressed the wireless headset on his ear and said softly, "C1 found the suspected target and went north from Xiangzhangshu Street, taking the innermost alley."

"D2 received it. We have seen the suspected target and are tracking its route. The target does not seem to be walking in the direction of the 'nest'."

"C1 received it, please keep observing."

Rhett glanced at the clues reported by the 'eyes' on the bracelet and smiled. He glanced at the officer beside him and said, "The fish is hooked."

"Director," the officer said with excitement on his face, "should I take people there immediately?"

"Don't rush."

However, Rhett shook his head slightly, "They are still on the outermost 'detour'. In fact, they are testing whether we have arranged for someone to stay nearby. Now is not the time to alert the snake. As soon as we make any move, they will immediately

React and run away,"

His tone was slow and slow, "Have you ever caught fish? Smart fish always test a little bit when biting the bait. Don't be impatient at this time, be patient, and the one who sits until the end is the winner.

By."

"yes."

The officer nodded quickly.

He seldom fishes.

In a fortress city where land is at a premium, the cost of building a fishing resort is extremely expensive. It is an entertainment facility that only rich people with money and time are eligible to use.

While the two were talking, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Please come in."

Rhett said softly.

A young female clerk wearing a professional hip-hugging skirt opened the door, "Director, Professor Coles is in the reception room now. He said he had made an appointment with you before."

"Coles..."

Rhett frowned, then he stood up slowly, "I'll go to the reception room right away and ask him to wait a moment."

"Director,"

The officer quickly stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Rhett with a wave of his hand.

"It's okay, just wait for me here."

Rhett motioned to the officer to sit back, then turned to look at the young female clerk, "Let's go."

The officer kept watching the two people leave the office and close the door.

Then he paused and his eyes slowly rested on the tablet that Red placed on the table.

That was Rhett's personal computer, which contained a large amount of information and intelligence that only Rhett could know.

But soon, he looked away.

——

Rhett saw this scene through the monitor on his bracelet. He smiled and turned off the bracelet.

A subordinate without ambition is not a good subordinate.

He likes his people to be ambitious and greedy, so that as long as he throws the right bones, he can drive them to fight for it.

The distance from Red's office to his private reception room was not far, probably only a few dozen meters. Soon, Red arrived outside the door of the conference room.

He motioned to the clerk to wait at the door, then he straightened his hair and opened the door to the reception room.

The entire reception room is not large, and Rhett has decorated many classical sculptures and oil paintings here.

At this moment, Coles was standing in front of a bust sculpture and admiring it.

This sculpture is very delicate, with every inch of muscle texture carved to perfection, and full of artistic beauty.

"This is said to be the art style before the Cataclysm. I like this kind of art very much. It does not have any machinery or industrial creations. It just simply displays the power and beauty of human beings."

Rhett slowly walked to Coles and chuckled.

Coles raised his head and glanced at Rhett, "Are you here?"

"My dear Professor Coles,"

Rhett's face was full of smiles, "I'm glad you can come back. What happened that day was just a little accident. You know, anything can happen in this world, but you don't have to worry now. I have settled the matter. I want to express my gratitude to you."

I promise you will never encounter something like this again in the future.”

Ever since Ho's riot at the institute, Coles has never been to the institute again, and even showed signs of withdrawing from the project.

"Can you guarantee that?"

Coles glanced at Rhett and sat back on the sofa.

"Of course, you are our best doctor and the most professional medical expert in Limen City. The institute respects people who use their talents the most,"

Rhett also smiled and sat on the sofa opposite Coles, "We have been friends for so many years, but you still don't understand me?"

"I know you very well," Coles said in a hoarse voice, "When I have no value, I will be ruthlessly abandoned by you."

"Look at what you said," the smile on Rhett's face did not change at all, still as warm as the spring breeze, "we have been in a relationship for more than ten years, how could I do something to harm my friends?"

Coles looked at his smiling face and sneered, "Let's get straight to the point, Rhett. We have known each other for so many years. I can come back and continue to participate in the project, but..."

He paused slightly and looked up at Reid, "I want to see the research data over the years. I don't have to join the core team of the project, but I need to know what I have researched over the years and what the results of my research are.

."

"Old friend,"

Hearing his words, Rhett looked embarrassed, "You know, I have no decision-making power, and I am only an executor. Whether to recruit the core members of the project and whether to open the core data of the project is a decision that can only be made by the group.

"

"But you should have a way to let the group know your 'suggestion'," Coles said with a cold face, "You have used this reason to fool me for more than ten years, how long are you going to keep fooling me?"

Rhett's expression did not change at all. He stood up with a smile and walked to the coffee machine, taking out a can of coffee beans. "Don't be angry, old friend, would you like to drink some coffee? The pure natural coffee beans I just got are not those prepared coffee powder."

It’s comparable to the birth of coffee beans.”

Coles looked at Rhett and knew that this was rejection. Rhett rejected him like this every time.

In this game, he is more urgent than Rhett and can't give up the project, so Rhett can easily control him to death.

He was silent for a moment, seeming to be hesitating and struggling. Finally, he said slowly, "I don't trust your people. They are too rough. The last incident was most likely caused by their unprofessionalism. I want to use

My own assistant."

"Do you want to bring new people into the project?"

Rhett looked at his old friend, and he knew that this old friend realized the most critical problem - Coles did not have any power in the institute, which made it difficult for Coles to do anything he wanted to do in the institute.
