Chapter 1303: Raise Suspicion

Huo Yulin rested for a couple of seconds. He bit his tongue hard before retrieving the syringe from his pocket with a lot of effort.

After injecting himself with cardiac stimulants, his hand still kept trembling uncontrollably.

Huo Yulin finally felt better after two minutes and slowly regained his strength.

He slowly recovered thanks to the cardiac stimulant. Unfortunately, it would not last, so he had to leave the institute before its effects faded away.

Huo Yulin could hear his colleagues talking outside. He looked at his medical protective gear and took it off slowly.

When he got to the first layer of protective gear, sure enough, blood was oozing through it.

Huo Yulin inhaled deeply. He did not try to take off the last layer of protective gear. Instead, he straightened his black turtleneck sweater a little before taking his down jacket and putting it on.

He took off the outermost protective gear stained with some blood, scrunched it into a ball, and walked out of the changing room before he proceeded to leave the institute.

Two of his colleagues had already changed. They had tossed the medical protective gear randomly on the chair by the side.

Huo Yulin glanced at them. He went over, picked them up, and tossed them into the trash can by the side along with his gear.

His colleagues smiled at him. Before long, they walked out of the changing room.

The test subject was already moved to the observation room next door and someone was cleaning up the laboratory. Only Prof Gao and Yuan Huan remained in the laboratory.

Huo Yulin and his colleagues were about to say goodbye and leave.

Before they were able to speak, Prof Gao came straight toward them and said to Huo Yulin, “Huo Yulin, don’t go yet. Can you come to my office? I’d like to discuss the condition of the test subject.”

“Sorry. I really have to go.” Huo Yulin tightened his fists.

Prof Gao frowned. Huo Yulin was under the employ of the research institute, so he ought to prioritize its work. Even if he was busy, it could wait. He said, “It won’t take much of your time. Since the surgery was just over, we should follow up with a report while it’s still fresh on our minds.”

Huo Yulin looked at Prof Gao. The professor was determined to make Huo Yulin work. He tightened his fist slightly before he finally nodded.

Prof Gao patted Huo Yulin’s shoulder satisfactorily and went to get changed.

Huo Yulin remained calm as he walked out of the laboratory. When he got out of the room, he leaned against the wall slightly with his eyes lowered. In reality, he was starting to feel tired and his eyes were glazing over.

Since Prof Gao only asked Huo Yulin to meet him in his office, the section chief and his colleagues quickly left the institute.

Before long, Prof Gao came out of the changing room.

His office was located on the 7th floor, so they took the lift upstairs.

The cardiac stimulant was probably able to keep Huo Yulin looking normal for roughly 20 minutes.

After entering the office, Prof Gao did not start discussing the surgery with Huo Yulin just yet. Instead, he started going through the data with the other professors.

Time passed second by second. Huo Yulin was sitting in a chair by the side. He had placed his arm on the armrest, but it had slid down a few times.

Yuan Huan was talking to Prof Gao when he turned and inadvertently saw it. He finally noticed the strange pallor on Huo Yulin’s face.

Huo Yulin’s face looked pale and it seemed as though he had lost a lot of blood.

Yuan Huan felt puzzled. He stopped talking to Prof Gao and turned to walk toward Huo Yulin.

As Yuan Huan walked over, he could suddenly smell the faint scent of blood in the air.

Was that blood?
