Chapter 1801


    Lily followed Mike to the destination. She had known from the beginning where they were going, but


    she had assumed they would go in through the front entrance rather than the side. The car entered the


    ce without causing anymotion.


    Although it was just a side entrance, there were surveince and infrared cameras at the top. From


    what she understood about her house’s security system, this ce had tight security.


    “This organization of yours is indeed something. They can even get into such a ce,” Lily said, slightly


    surprised.


    The corners of Mike’s lips moved, but he did not say anything. Soon, they arrived at the underground


    parking lot. Once the car was parked, Mike led her into an elevator, scanned his ess card, and


    pressed the button for the top floor.


    Lily noticed that there were only two buttons to press in this elevator, which were for the top floor and


    the underground parking, respectively. There were not any buttons for the floors in between, so they


    would not stop by there.


    In fact, many people could not ess the top floors without permission back at the research institute.


    At the time, she thought that the higher management used the floors for discussion on the project. In


    retrospect, it probably housed the mastermind of this project.


    Even though Lily had never met this person, she suspected she had crossed paths with him. She even


    wondered if she had met him in the institute before and did not know it was him.


    All this while, she had no idea about the mastermind''s identity. Now that she was going to meet him


    suddenly, she felt slightly uneasy.


    Standing in the elevator, she propped one hand on her waist by habit while stroking her belly with


    another hand. She took a deep breath, then breathed it out slowly. If anyone else were to see this sight,


    they would only think that a pregnant woman was out shopping. None of them would have expected


    that she was here to keep a dangerous appointment.


    “You don’t need to be nervous.” Mike tilted slightly to the side and said lightly, “I promised Alexander


    that I’d take care of you.”


    “Thanks.” Lily just gave him a polite smile.


    She did not take his words to heart. If Mike could protect her, he would not be threatened by the


    mastermind in the first ce. Frankly, he was in a dangerous state himself, so how could he protect


    her?


    However, there was no need for her to argue over this with him, so she responded in a perfunctory


    manner.


    Mike noticed her disapproval of his words. He just frowned and looked at the arrow pointing up on the


    disy and said nothing else.


    As the elevator did not stop along the way, they arrived at the top floor soon after.


    Ding!


    The sign that they had reached their destination sounded, and the elevator doors opened. Light poured


    into the square space, brightening up the elevator.


    “Wee!”


    There was an ear-piercing, squeaky sound, which would make any of its listeners ufortable. Lily


    frowned, trying to find the source of the sound, but to no avail.


    After ncing around, she noticed that this was an extraordinarily huge office. To be exact, the entire


    floor housed only one office, which was enclosed by floor-to-ceiling ss. Since there were no curtains


    to block the view, there was a lot of light in the room. That was why it was so bright when the elevator


    doors opened earlier.


    However, there was not a single person in sight in such a vast ce that was well furnished. Only a


    strange sound could be heard. Lily was perplexed and turned to look at Mike, but he appeared to be

    ustomed to the scene as he strode toward the left side of the room beforeing to a stop and


    saying, "Sir, she’s here."
