Huo Yao went quiet briefly before she said, “You should be more careful. Sometimes, reagents can have a bad effect on you.”7
“Got it.” Lei Xiao looked at the box on the table and asked curiously. ‘What do you plan to do with this?”
Huo Yao extended her hand and took the box. She opened it to find a vial of light blue-colored solution lying inside. Then, she closed the box. “I just want to try it.”
Lei Xiao instantly felt puzzled. “Didn’t you say you are against using such an analysis solution?”
He recalled keenly inviting her to join the research, but at that time, she had insisted that she would never work on such things.
Huo Yao had a profound look in her eyes. A long while later, she leaned into the seat and composed herself before she said softly, “Well, things change.”

Lei Xiao could sense a hint of powerlessness in her voice. He paused and added. “Are you in trouble or something?”
Huo Yao rubbed the rim of the teacup with her hand. “Not really.”
“If you need any help, just say the word. Don’t be shy.” Lei Xiao pondered before he said.
Huo Yao raised her brow. ‘Well, I do need your help. Can you let me use your laboratory?”1
“No problem. Let me give you the key. Anyway, I only go to the laboratory when I have experiments to do, so it is usually unoccupied,” replied Lei Xiao as he groped around for the key in his pocket and handed it to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao mused and took the key without turning down his offer. “I don’t know how to use certain apparatus, so you have to teach me first.”
Lei Xiao could not help remembering the first time he had met Huo Yao in person. She had asked to borrow his laboratory for refining medicine at the time. Despite claiming she was oblivious about using apparatus, she was able to handle the equipment more deftly than him after just one try.
To this day, he was blown away by what a quick learner she was.

Lei Xiao nodded his head with a complicated expression on his face.
“What about this aftemoon?* asked Huo Yao.
Lei Xiao was supposed to go back to the Research Institute in the afternoon. Since Huo Yao had asked, he did not refuse her. ‘Sure thing.”
Between research and helping Huo Yao, she was obviously more important.
Before long, the waiter came in and served the food. After lunch, Huo Yao followed Lei Xiao to his private laboratory.
Even though Lei Xiao’s private laboratory was not very big, and did not contain all the necessary equipment, it undoubtedly had the basic equipment she needed to study the analysis solution.
After Lei Xiao had explained the usage of most of the apparatus, he hurriedly went back to the Research Institute since his colleagues kept chasing him.
Huo Yao took out the analysis solution after Lei Xiao was gone.
Under the microscope, a lot of active factors could be seen in the light blue-colored solution. Some of them were good for people while some of them were not. Even though using them together helped to balance the negative effects, a huge change would occur when it was mixed with blood.
Huo Yao’s eyes turned dark when she saw the statistics of the solution after she added her blood to the sample.
The solution was capable of destroying the human genetic structure in order to make its genes abnormal. It was undoubtedly revolting. 7
Huo Yao spent the entire afternoon in the laboratory and only left when it was very late at night.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
Huo Changfeng had just come out from a meeting. After everyone had left, Chen Ming walked in from outside with a serious expression on his face.
“Chief Steward, someone powerful is investigating us.” Chen Ming handed him the latest intel from his subordinate to Huo Changfeng and said, “To be precise, someone seems to be looking for Miss Huo..”
