Chapter 263: Chapter 261: Lu Family Laboratory

"I... I don’t know," Fang Ya shook her head in terror.

Su Mo’s lips curled up, "Lady Fang, I advise you to tell the truth, my blade is quite sharp."

Fang Ya glanced sideways, catching a glimpse of a piece of clothing, and growled, "I am Lu Chen’s mother! What are you doing!"

Suddenly, Su Mo withdrew the Tang Blade and walked over to the mutton soup simmering on the stove. She leaned down to sniff it and said, "Smells good, such a pity it’s meant for my father’s killer."

"Have you lost your mind?! What nonsense are you spouting!" Fang Ya quickly came over and turned off the stove, fear evident in her eyes.

Su Mo didn’t feel like wasting any more time with her. Footsteps of servants could be heard outside the kitchen. She exerted her pressure, pointing the blade at Fang Ya’s heart, and whispered, "I don’t have much time, think of it as for Lu Chen’s sake, where is the Lu Family’s laboratory?"

The blade tip tore through her clothing, sinking an inch into Fang Ya’s skin without drawing a drop of blood.

Feeling the odd sensation at her chest and Su Mo’s unmistakable intent to kill, Fang Ya knew she was serious, "It’s... It’s beneath the villa at the back of the estate."

Neatly putting away the Tang Blade and climbing to the window, Su Mo looked back at her, "Lady Fang, it would be best if you pretend you don’t know about today’s events."

Seeing her disappear, Fang Ya finally collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Outside, a servant entered, saw the wide-open window and the woman sitting on the floor, and hurried over to help, "Madam, what happened to you?!"

Fang Ya reflexively covered the spot where the blade had pierced her chest. With the servant’s help, she stood up and disguised it, "I’m fine, just slipped because the floor was too slick. Check if the soup is ready?"

"Yes."

The servant walked to the stove, noting that the fire was out. Although she found it odd and Fang Ya looked pale, she did not dare to ask more questions and just took down the soup.

As she brought the soup, Fang Ya thought better of telling Lu Youwei about Su Mo.

After slipping out of the villa, Zhao Changsheng was already waiting not far away. Seeing her, Changsheng pulled her into the shadows, "Why did you go in directly?"

Carrying the Tang Blade, Su Mo led the way to the back of the estate, whispering, "The Lu Family and Jiang Residence have separate, independent laboratories. Ling Ye has likely been taken by Lu Yuan; let’s check it out."

Zhao Changsheng did not speak but looked visibly irritated, "This damn kid is such a hassle."

...

Lu Family’s underground laboratory.

On two adjacent, cold operating tables, the unconscious Ling Ye was securely tied down, while the other table bore the massive body of a dead test subject.

The researchers had just discovered that this kid’s blood had a higher compatibility with the medicine than any other test subject.

"Miss Lu, this person you brought back is really a treasure," one researcher said excitedly. Although a live subject had been handed over, the Lu Family’s laboratory had not stopped its research and had extracted its own medicine from this corpse.

Lu Yuan scoffed disdainfully. If that Xiaoqiao hadn’t told her that Ling Ye was Su Mo’s prized possession, she wouldn’t have bothered to bring him back.

Lu Yuan felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction as she thought of Su Mo’s anger over the missing person. Ever since the banquet, she had been grounded at home. The only informant had ended up dead, and it was not easy for her to get this chance to go out...

She squinted at Xiaoqiao standing nearby, shrinking her shoulders. If it hadn’t been for this woman, she would have been kept in the dark about Lu Chen’s marriage.

Feeling her scalp tingle under Lu Yuan’s gaze, Xiaoqiao moved her lips but did not dare to speak up or look up.

Her subservient demeanor seemed to please Lu Yuan, who turned away her gaze, her eyes filled with boundless malice.

If she couldn’t get revenge on Su Mo, then she would use this kid to satisfy her grudge.

Lu Yuan sat in an observation room outside the operating room and pressed a button on the table, whispering, "Inject him with the maximum dose."

No one dared to defy her command. A 100cc vial of medicine was drawn into three syringes and injected continuously into Ling Ye’s body.

Xiaoqiao carefully poured water for Lu Yuan, "Miss Lu, can you tell me where my parents have gone?"

As soon as she finished asking, before reaching a conclusion, the observation room door burst open, and Lu Jin entered with a murderous look on his face.

...

On the ground, Su Mo felt her way to the villa where not a single light shone, but seven or eight soldiers stood guard at the door.

She exchanged glances with Zhao Changsheng and whispered, "You draw them away, I’ll go in first to find the person."

Zhao Changsheng’s Thunder Whip formed in her hand, with faint blue electrical light crackling, as she charged out of the darkness, her whip fiercely hitting the ground.

The sparks and the loud noise quickly drew the soldiers’ attention, and immediately four of them confronted Zhao Changsheng.

As the distance between them grew, Su Mo seized the opportunity, conjuring her superpower to breeze past in the blink of an eye to confront three soldiers: with one hand she clasped a soldier’s head, brutally slamming two heads together.

The last one was knocked unconscious by her turning kick to the jaw.

After dealing with the three, she crouched down, found an Identity Card on one of them, and swiftly entered the building.

The interior arrangement and design of the entrance to the laboratory were exactly the same as in the Jiang Residence; she successfully swiped open the ground door, furniture parted to both sides, Su Mo entered the elevator, and began to descend slowly.

She went on full alert, holding the Tang Blade in her hand.

When the elevator reached the bottom, she stepped out cautiously.

Below was different from the Jiang Residence setup: a very long, straight metallic path with numerous rooms on both sides.

She moved her ears, listening and distinguishing the sounds in this place as she walked.

Inside the rooms, on steel beds, were still-wet bloodstains, as if a large number of corpses had been cleared away not long before.

Oddly enough, unlike the bustling labs beneath the Jiang Residence, this place was eerily quiet.

Her hearing picked up the extremely faint sound of a child’s whimper breaking into her eardrums through room after room.

It wasn’t far, but it was obscured by obstacles.

Su Mo quickened her pace, sweeping forward; after she crossed a threshold, an alarm embedded in the wall immediately triggered a red alert.

Biometric recognition, she had been detected!

On the ground above, receiving the alarm, a squad of soldiers immediately came to provide backup.

...

Because of the injected medicine, Ling Ye, unconscious on the surgical table, struggled wildly.

Lu Jin, seeing the person on the surgical table, gave Lu Yuan a slap right away, his gaze fierce, "Who told you to touch him?"

Lu Yuan fell back onto the sofa, half of her face numb, and this scene terrified Xiaoqiao completely.

Lu Jin grabbed the lab’s main door and stepped inside.

The researchers surrounding Ling Ye were excitedly recording a set of experimental data.

When Lu Jin entered, they were startled by his violent aura and stepped back several paces.

Just as he was about to remove the needles and tubes inserted into Ling Ye, the observation room’s door was kicked open by Su Mo, slamming into the metal wall with a resounding crash.

Holding the blade firmly, she walked in and, through the transparent window, saw the struggling figure on the surgical table and the enormous corpse of the prototype, Su Mo’s face hardened as she charged in, "Lu Jin! How dare you lay a hand on him!"
