1631 An Attack On A Lab
The assistant wanted to get the water, but Qiao En simply raised his hand and turned him down.
Before long, he left the room.
Qiao En placed two glasses of water in front of Wu Yue and Huo Yao on the coffee table. He sat down and seemed genial. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t expect my student to take such extreme steps.”
If the assistant was still here, he would undoubtedly be dumbfounded by Qiao En’s attitude.
Wu Yue worked for a renowned scientist as well, so he was unafraid of talking to Qiao En. He simply said, “No one saw this coming. How does the student feel about her actions? Can we trust her to make a public apology to Yao?”
The moment Qiao En heard the name, a knowing look swept across his eyes. He replied., “Of course, you deserve an apology. Sadly, Lu Xia is not on campus and we were unable to reach her.”
Wu Yue frowned slightly. “What do you mean by unreachable?”
Did she make a run for it?
Was she trying to shirk responsibility?
Qiao En had his hands on his knees. Since he spent a lot of time in the laboratory, his complexion was fairer than usual. As he looked at Huo Yao, he responded ambiguously. “Perhaps she has already paid the price for her mistake.”
Wu Yue felt a little confused hearing this vague response.
Huo Yao sat casually on the couch. When Qiao En looked over, she did not react much.
She looked as though she did not understand what he meant.
She did not say a word and simply looked at the cup on the coffee table casually in a daze.
“I don’t understand what you mean.” Wu Yue looked at Qiao En and asked him.
Qiao En kept looking at Huo Yao, so Wu Yue turned to glance at her. She was looking at the glass of water in a daze.
She looked as though she wanted to take a sip of water, but felt embarrassed to take it.
Wu Yue cleared his throat, reached his hand out, and handed a glass of water to Huo Yao.
After he was done, he turned to look at Qiao En again.
Huo Yao took the water feeling puzzled.
“Perhaps you can ask her.” Qiao En looked at Huo Yao as he spoke politely, looking relaxed.
Wu Yue felt even more lost. They were talking about Lu Xia’s disappearance, but the subject of the conversation was now Huo Yao.
He parted his lips wanting to speak, but the phone rang interrupting him.
Qiao En’s phone was ringing. He retrieved his phone, took a glance at it, and turned it off.
After hanging up the phone for less than a minute, the assistant came in anxiously without even knocking on the door.
Qiao En narrowed his eyes when he noticed his anxiety. “What happened?”
The assistant walked up beside Qiao En, bent over, and said a few words softly into his ear.
A serious look instantly emerged in his eyes. “Let’s go.”
He got up and quickly left the office without so much as explaining to Wu Yue.
From behind, he clearly looked anxious. It seemed something serious had happened.
Wu Yue looked at the door at a loss. After some time, he snapped out of his daze. “I wonder what happened.”
Huo Yao raised her brow and said vaguely, “I think there was an attack on a lab.”
“An attack on the lab?” Wu Yue looked at Huo Yao. “Huh? How do you know that?”
