1691 Considered Quits
The car drove quickly for some distance before it suddenly slowed down.
After doing this routine a few times, Shangguan Hou’s face started growing increasingly pale. At a closer look, some sweat was forming on his forehead.
“That was boring,” scoffed the man.
The tail gave up halfway, so it was completely unchallenging for him.
Shangguan Hou leaned against the seat backrest and glanced into the rearview mirror. Even though his chest was in a lot of pain, he did not complain in the slightest. “Have you lost the tail?”
“Nope. It decided to stop on its own.” The man scratched his head casually.
The traffic light up ahead happened to turn red, so he stepped on the brake. He could smell the scent of medicine in the car and turned to glance at Shangguan Hou.
The man finally noticed his face and raised his brow automatically. “Your mask looks even more authentic this time.”
“Is that so?” Shangguan Hou’s face turned stiff. Fortunately, he hardly had any expression on his face. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly look awkward now. He cleared his throat and said, “Drop me at Sirin University later.”
“Okay,” acknowledged the man. Even though Shangguan Hou ordered him around like a chauffeur, he did not take it to heart and simply started the car.
An hour later, the car pulled up by the roadside in front of Sirin University.
“Thanks.” Shangguan Hou undid his seatbelt and opened the car door. Just as he was about to step out of the car, he could hear the man speaking mildly, so his actions froze promptly.
“You’re welcome. Now we are considered quits.” The man straightened his sleeve casually.
Shangguan Hou turned to look at the nonchalant expression on the man’s face. He thought about the man’s ruthless personality and his annoyance promptly disappeared.
He did not continue with the subject. Instead, he veered his eyes and got off the car.
The moment the car door closed, the off-road vehicle drove off without lingering even for a second.
Shangguan Hou inhaled deeply holding the box. He took out his phone and called Qiao En.
Before long, Qiao En’s assistant quickly walked out of the campus and led Shangguan Hou into the school.
“The professor won’t be in school for a couple of days. He just told me to help you with checking the lab equipment.” Qiao En’s assistant brought Shangguan Hou to the laboratory.
As the assistant, he could not help feeling puzzled. Shangguan Hou was here to check the laboratory equipment, but he only came armed with a tiny box the size of a palm. It did not resemble a toolbox at all.
Shangguan Hou took no notice of the assistant’s expression. He glanced around the laboratory and saw all the damaged equipment sitting in the corner before he looked at the cabinet by the side.
He paused for a couple of seconds and said, “I’ll call you if I need anything.”
The assistant knew that technicians sometimes were introverts with quirky personalities. He nodded automatically and said, “Okay then. I’ll be right outside.”
Shangguan Hou waved his hand.
After Qiao En’s assistant shut the door, Shangguan Hou walked up in front of the cabinet and extended his hand to open it.
Sure enough, it contained only basic chemical solutions along with the medical solutions which he needed.
Shangguan Hou narrowed his eyes. He reached his hand out to retrieve a few vials of medical solutions and a one-time-use syringe.
After mixing the chemical solutions deftly at the right proportions, he opened the square box in his hand.
