Terrence approached the French windows. He pulled the rope and gently opened the blinds. The shadows cast by the light made it impossible to see his expression at that moment. He said in a relaxed tone, “Why did you pull down the blinds?”

Qiu Tong chuckled and looked up indifferently. “Why don’t you ask Yu Ge?”

“Why did he force you to hire me as his personal bodyguard? With the security you have, you can totally protect him.”

“Yu Ge wanted to take revenge on me, humiliate me and trap me by his side. He covered the window earlier as he wanted to have sex with me. I beat him up, which is why his old injuries…”

Qiu Tong fabricated a lie. “You can ask him for confirmation.”

Qiu Tong shrugged and threw herself onto the sofa. She deliberately moved her shirt to reveal the love bites left behind by Jin Yang last night.

She challenged Terrence indifferently with her gaze, a sarcastic smile on her lips.

“But with Yu Ge’s personality, he will probably scold you harshly and then chase you off in his capacity as the General Manager of the Liqing Corporation. I advise you not to try. He hasn’t been successful recently and is in a bad mood…”

Terrence pushed his gold-framed glasses up his nose and stared at Qiu Tong with suspicion and uncertainty.

Yu Ge had briefly mentioned her identity and his past experiences with her to him. Terrence felt that her appearance in the Liqing Corporation would affect them, but Yu Ge was stubborn. As a result, Terrence had no choice but to just remain vigilant against her.

Terrence hesitated for a moment before his expression quickly changed to that of a gentleman. He smiled and said, “Miss Qiu, you must be joking.”

“We have no right to ask Mr. Yu Ge about his affairs.”

Terrence turned around to leave, but the computer suddenly beeped!

A sinister glint flashed across his eyes as he closed the door. “Miss Qiu, you’d better not move…”

Qiu Tong pretended to be calm as she looked to the side. Terrence slowly walked towards the computer. She secretly took out the dagger she carried with her from her sleeve, prepared to fight him at any moment.

The atmosphere in the office instantly became filled with the smell of gunpowder. Terrence saw the computer flash with a red light. Just as he was about to see the display screen, there was suddenly a commotion in the corridor. There were people cursing and loud fighting noises…

“Mr. Yu Ge! Don’t be rash. You will tear your wound apart!”

The secretary stopped him in a panic. Terrence narrowed his eyes and chose to let Qiu Tong off for the time being to run out and deal with the emergency.

Qiu Tong heaved a sigh of relief as she placed her hand on her rapidly beating heart.

Through the glass window, Qiu Tong saw a figure flash past. She felt that it looked familiar, but she had no time to care about the trouble Yu Ge was in. She bent down and opened the cabinet, wanting to carry Qiu Xingyu out.

“Little Yu?!”

Qiu Tong opened the cabinet. It was empty.

She immediately looked around anxiously and knocked on every wooden board. Soon, Qiu Xingyu’s soft voice came from the bottom of a bookcase. The loose wooden boards moved a little, and Qiu Xingyu stuck her head out. Her cute face was streaked with dust. “Mommy! There’s a dark room here! There are many scary things inside…”

Qiu Xingyu stared at the red dot on her watch and said in a hoarse voice, “Hurry, the bad guy won’t be back for the time being!”

Qiu Tong looked at the narrow passageway and quickly jumped in after Qiu Xingyu.

After a long, dark slide, they opened their eyes. The scene before them was so shocking that they couldn’t close their mouths. This place was extremely similar to Professor Dong’s secret room.

Around them were countless human specimens soaked in formaldehyde, and glass jars containing human organs…

Qiu Xingyu tugged at Qiu Tong’s hand nervously as she glanced at the red dot on her device from time to time. Qiu Tong was quietly shocked. It seemed like the Liqing Corporation was indeed targeting the human modification plan. Moreover, they had already obtained a certain amount of information and had begun their own research and development!

There were test tubes on the island counter. Qiu Tong looked at the data of their experiments and memorized them.

Qiu Xingyu stood on her tiptoes and leaned against the desk. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar handwriting. She lowered her voice in excitement and greeted, “Mommy, it’s Grandpa’s handwriting! I recognize his notebook!”

Qiu Tong picked up the detailed notes. When she flipped to the title page, there was indeed Qiu Rong’s name written on the front.

It seemed like the human modification plan was undeniably linked to Qiu Rong!

Qiu Xingyu quietly held the notebook in her arms. They were afraid that Terrence would return, so they hurried back through the original passageway. Qiu Tong knew that too many strange things had happened today which would definitely put the Liqing Corporation on the alert. She hid the notebook in the bookcase and sat on the sofa with Qiu Xingyu in her arms to sort out her thoughts as she waited for Yu Ge and Terrence to return.

“Mommy, I miss Grandpa!”

Qiu Xingyu looked tired. The high intensity and extreme tension made her a little dazed and she was about to fall asleep.

She mumbled, “When will Grandpa be back?”

Qiu Tong tidied her messy hair and straightened the pink bow. She kissed Qiu Xingyu gently and promised. “I’ll get him back as soon as possible! This matter is definitely linked to him.”

She also wanted to figure out Qiu Rong’s role in the human transformation plan!
