Chapter 827

Although he was a middle-aged man with gray hair, Eric, who was still elegant, cordially met Megan in the huge villa of the mansion. After hearing Megan's intention, Eric flashed an imperceptible difference in his eyes, but he still smiled kindly: "you want to ask me, what was your father's research project at that time?"

Megan nodded.

Eric sighed and whispered, "your father and I were young and full of ambition. We wanted to find the code of longevity from the tortoise and then use it on human beings. Unfortunately, the research room burst into a fire just after the research had a little appearance. All the research materials were buried in the fire together with your father."

Megan couldn't help asking, "was that fire really just an accident?"

Eric nodded: "I still keep the certificate issued by the police. Do you want to have a look?"

Megan nodded.

"OK, wait a minute."

As Eric left, Megan's mother whispered, "my baby daughter, can't you put it down after all these years?"

Megan looked at her pearly mother and smiled reluctantly without explaining anything.

It wasn't long before Eric came back with a folder in his hand. Megan took it and opened it. There was an investigation report on the fire in the research room that year. Finally, the investigation result is that the fire caused by the short circuit of the research room excludes human factors.

But

Megan recalled her last face with her father.

In my memory, my father, who always kept calm, was full of fear and panic. He hid Megan in a secret iron cabinet and asked Megan not to come out no matter what sound he heard.

But before waiting too long, the smoke penetrated through the gap and choked Megan out of the iron cabinet. It was not until this time that Megan found that a big fire had been lit outside the house. Although the room he was in had not been ignited, it was also filled with smoke.

Fortunately, there is a small ventilation window in the room, just enough for a child to get out. Megan, who was just about to climb out, suddenly remembered the four turtles and the big mouse in the laboratory. After staying in the research room for a long time, the four turtles and mice are already little Megan's good friends.

Megan rushed out of the room and went outside to the laboratory regardless of the danger of her life. At this time, in the fire, the four little turtles and the big mouse seemed to feel the danger and were desperately hitting the glass box. Megan rushed forward, hurriedly opened the glass box, held the tortoise and mouse in her arms, and returned to her previous room again.

Megan first threw the tortoise and mouse out of the ventilation window, and then climbed out by herself. However, just after she climbed out, Megan was surprised to find that the four little turtles and the big mouse had disappeared.

At that time, Megan thought she threw them too hard, threw them on the road and was hit by passing cars. Now think back, the window was the sewer mouth, and the four little turtles and rats were likely to fall into the sewer.

"Megan? Megan! Are you okay?"

Her mother's voice interrupted Megan's memory. Megan a spirit, looked at the confused mother and Eric, she smiled and handed the folder to Eric. Eric waved his hand. "Let's make a souvenir for you."

Megan didn't refuse either. She stood up and said, "then I won't disturb you. Let's go."

Mother took Megan's hand and said in a hurry, "since you haven't changed your mind, I won't insist, but at least leave one for dinner."

Megan's heart softened with her mother's expectant eyes and nodded hesitantly. The mother was overjoyed and took Megan to sit down again. Eric smiled, "talk first and I'll arrange."

He walked out of the living room and made a gesture to his confidant bodyguard. The bodyguard hurried forward. Eric whispered a few words in his ear. The bodyguard nodded, turned and left quickly.

Before long, several men sneaked into Megan's house. About ten minutes later, they came out empty handed.

After lunch, Eric specially asked the driver to drive Megan. After Megan left, Eric and his wife, who were originally smiling, cooled down at the same time. They looked at each other, and Megan's mother said coldly, "it's because you didn't work strictly in those years. Now you're turned over by the girl."

Eric disdained a sneer: "if it weren't for you, I had to spare her life, how could there be mistakes!"

Megan's mother glared at Eric: "don't forget, she's my own daughter."

"So what? Who can't sacrifice for master's great cause?"

Eric is right.

"Well, why don't you die?"

"Don't worry, if I really need to sacrifice, I will not turn back."

"Bah, speaking is better than singing."

The couple quarreled and went to the basement. In the secret room full of Japanese Bushido style, a man in black robes knelt on tatami with his back to them.

"Master Assassin!"

Eric and his wife saluted respectfully at the same time.

The man turned slowly, and it was Lars al Gul, the leader of the assassin alliance!

"Master, I have something important to tell you." Eric said, "do you remember a biological scientist named Hughes? His daughter Megan has just come. It seems that she has found something interesting."

"Go on."

Lars said coldly without looking back.

Eric didn't dare to play riddles again. He quickly said, "I guess Megan should know the whereabouts of the tortoise and mouse missing in the laboratory."

"Really?"

Lars turned slowly and looked at Megan's mother. "What do you think?"

Megan's mother bowed her head slightly: "she should have found some clues, otherwise she wouldn't suddenly come and ask the truth about the fire."

Lars pulled a cold smile from the corner of his mouth: "then catch her and interrogate her."

Megan's mother said calmly, "if this is your order, I will obey it absolutely. But master, my subordinates think there is a better way."

"Oh, tell me."

"Eric has sent someone to sneak into Megan's house. Although he didn't find anything useful, he also left monitoring equipment. As long as we keep tracking, we can find the missing experimental materials through Megan."

Lars was silent for a moment and suddenly looked at Eric again. "What's your opinion?"

Eric carefully replied, "my subordinates think... You can try."

"Well, you are in charge of this operation."

Lars closed his eyes again, turned back and sat down.

Eric and his wife quickly saluted again and walked out of the chamber of secrets.

After Eric and his wife left, Lars suddenly opened his eyes and remembered what he had encountered at the dock. He couldn't help muttering, "is that turtle...?"
