Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 1096 - 1095: Laboratory No. 1

Five meters, four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter.Chu Chengrui stood outside the cage, separated from Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao inside by just a transparent glass door.

His eyes were fixed on Chu Ge lying on the bed, as if Chu Shiyao didn't exist at all. More precisely, in Chu Chengrui's eyes, at this moment, nothing existed except Chu Ge.

There was a trace of hesitation and unease in Chu Chengrui's gaze, suddenly regretting a decision he made last night.

Due to the extreme disorder of Chu Ge's brainwaves, he had been nearly driven mad by those EEG charts in recent days, so yesterday he had ordered to stop monitoring Chu Ge's brainwave condition.

If he hadn't done so, he could now clearly see Chu Ge's brainwave data on the instrument. But because of his decision, he could now only see Chu Ge's peaceful profile.

Perhaps Chu Ge's brainwaves had already returned to normal?

Or maybe, Chu Ge had already awakened, just pretending to be asleep, secretly brewing something.

Chu Chengrui thought he must have been overthinking, but this thought, once it emerged, only added to his anxiety and irritation.

As a person embarking on scientific research, especially in biochemical research, Chu Chengrui was always meticulous. Even the smallest probability did not mean that it couldn't happen.

It had been decades since Chu Chengrui had lost his composure like last night. For him, everything was almost always in control in the past, but ever since involving with Chu Ge, many things had repeatedly turned unpredictable.

This was something he found utterly difficult to adapt to, even intolerable, and with Chu Ge's significance to his biochemical research, he desperately hoped no more uncertainties would arise.

Thinking swiftly, Chu Chengrui took out the walkie-talkie and issued an order to resume the monitoring of Chu Ge's brainwaves.

Soon, someone walked into the cage with instruments and a stretcher, connecting them to Chu Ge.

Chu Chengrui didn't follow inside; he remained standing at the door, waiting for the numbers to appear on the instrument.

Before long, Chu Chengrui saw the scene he had hoped to see.

Chu Ge's brainwaves were still as enigmatic and erratic, abnormally chaotic, just like the past half-month.

Chu Chengrui felt he should be relieved, yet his slightly furrowed brows didn't relax. A gut feeling called "unease" still lingered in his heart, secretly bothering him.

It was as if, in a place unseen, icy eyes were fixated on his every move.

Chu Chengrui hated this feeling immensely. He was someone who believed in science, in data. Even if Chu Ge could pretend to sleep, could those chaotic brainwave charts be falsified?

Chu Chengrui raised a hand, his fingertips brushing across his forehead, trying to smooth out the vertical line formed by the frown, and to crush that utterly baseless unease within him.

Chu Shiyao, looking at Chu Chengrui outside the door, felt herself growing increasingly anxious inside. Why hasn't he come over yet? Like he did every day, coming to Chu Ge's side?

"Take him to Laboratory One."

Just as Chu Shiyao was thinking this, she suddenly heard such a voice, and her heart tightened, her body froze, then she panicked completely.

How could this be?

She had made up her mind, despite her complex feelings for Chu Chengrui, to make a move on him today. However... if Chu Chengrui wouldn't even come in, she had no chance at all.

"Number Ninety-Seven" walked towards Chu Ge, and Chu Shiyao hurriedly stood by the bedside, arms outstretched, blocking Chu Ge, loudly shouting at Chu Chengrui outside the door.

"Chu Chengrui, you can't take him away now, I have something to say!"

Chu Chengrui snorted through his nose, completely ignoring what Chu Shiyao meant.

"Number Ninety-Seven" grabbed Chu Shiyao's arm and roughly pulled her aside.

Chu Shiyao was just an ordinary girl, her strength insignificant compared to "Number Ninety-Seven". No matter how she struggled, she couldn't resist "Number Ninety-Seven", and was flung away with a thud, colliding against a wall made of steel, her body sliding down, weakly slumping to the ground.

What to do?

A sharp pain shot through her shoulder, as if her bones were about to shatter, and Chu Shiyao's heart nearly sank into despair.

She hated her weakness so much; she could only watch as Chu Ge was lifted onto the stretcher, wanting to stop it, but her body, having collided with the wall, seemed drained of all strength, trembling once more.

Since Chu Chengrui is dressed so formally today, and since he won't even enter this cage, Chu Shiyao has every reason to believe that the so-called "Laboratory One" is definitely not a good place. If Chu Ge is taken there, she fears...

Chu Shiyao watched Chu Ge leave the large bed and lie on the stretcher. Then, with the corner of her eye, she glanced at the open glass door, and a surge of fierceness rose in her heart. She took a quick breath, adjusted her posture, and suddenly pushed off the ground with her feet, charging towards the doorway.

Though outside there were who knows how many enemies armed to the teeth, seemingly always holding guns, and yes, Chu Chengrui was also out there.

If Chu Chengrui didn't come in, then she would go out!

The opportunity probably only comes once, and she had to grasp it tightly, no matter what!

Yesterday, Chu Shiyao felt she couldn't hold on any longer; she just wanted to kill Chu Chengrui. Perhaps doing so was an irresponsible escape, but it was also a form of release.

However, at this moment, her thoughts changed again. Perhaps... she could seriously injure Chu Chengrui, then take him hostage and escape with Chu Ge from this place.

Even if the chances of success were pitifully low, it was worth trying. Doing something was always better than doing nothing!

Unfortunately... before Chu Shiyao reached the doorway, "Number 96" swiftly appeared beside her, grabbing her arm effortlessly as if handling a rag doll, and pulled her arms behind her back, looking at Chu Chengrui for instructions.

"Overestimating yourself." Chu Chengrui sneered with disdain. "Since she's so agitated, bring over a stretcher and put her on it. Then let her see what science is really like, let her gain some insight."

"Chu Chengrui! You'll die a horrible death! You're insane! You... you!"

Bound by "Number 96," Chu Shiyao struggled desperately, but it was no use. She was dragged out of the cage, her shouts filled with anger.

Soon, someone pushed over a stretcher, and "Number 96" pressed Chu Shiyao onto it, binding her wrists and ankles with the straps on the stretcher, rendering her completely immobile.

"Die a horrible death? Haha... who knows what the future holds? As for 'insane,' I can only say that this evaluation is quite accurate. What great scientist isn't a bit insane?"

Watching the futile efforts of Chu Shiyao, Chu Chengrui smiled lightly, and spoke to "Number 96" and "Number 97": "Let's go."

"Yes, boss."

"Number 96" and "Number 97" both replied, each pushing a stretcher, and started walking with Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao.

Passing by lab benches and various instruments, they turned and twisted through the place until they stood before a metal door. Beyond this door was "Laboratory One."

"You two go back. Remember, no matter what happens, even if the sky falls, you are not to let anyone disturb me until I come out," Chu Chengrui coldly instructed "Number 96" and "Number 97" standing at the doorway.

"Yes, boss."

Though it seemed strange that Chu Chengrui wasn't taking any assistants and was entering the lab alone with Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao, "Number 96" and "Number 97" adhered to a policy of not asking unnecessary questions, and they responded respectfully before turning back.

After a retinal scan, the door to Laboratory One opened. Chu Chengrui pushed both stretchers inside, then walked in briskly.

The corridor inside was about ten meters long, with rooms on either side at its end. Chu Chengrui first pushed the stretcher with Chu Ge to the end of the corridor, then he moved the stretcher with Chu Shiyao next to it.

"Chu Chengrui! You crazy old man, you perverted freak, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Chu Chengrui ignored Chu Shiyao's voice, first opening the door to the room on the right. It was clearly an operating room, with a surgical table under the fluorescent light, accompanied by surgical instruments, giving the place an eerie aura.

After walking around the room, Chu Chengrui stepped out and opened the door to the room on the left at the end of the corridor.

This was clearly the laboratory, about a hundred square meters in size, fully equipped with top-notch experimental apparatus.

Just like when he entered the operating room, Chu Chengrui took a look around, then sat down in a chair, his once cold and glinting eyes suddenly becoming empty and bewildered.

Meanwhile, Chu Ge, who had been unconscious on one of the stretchers, yawned lazily, and then opened his eyes.

Upon hearing this sound, Chu Shiyao could hardly believe her ears. She almost mechanically, slowly, slowly turned her neck towards the direction from which the sound came.

In her line of sight, on the stretcher beside her, Chu Ge's head was turned in her direction. On that unbearably familiar face was the even more familiar iconic smile.

Chu Shiyao could barely believe her eyes.
