Chapter 1932


    ‘That should be the device that destroyed the surveince system.’ Lily secretly observed just now that


    the light on the CCTV cameras had turned off, and the surveince system had indeed gotten


    destroyed.


    ‘He’s not lying, but why did he do it?’


    “We’ve told you everything, and I don’t understand what kind of truth you would like to hear.” Lily turned


    to pick up a ss of water near her but leaned forward to add some warm water to the ss, probably


    feeling it had gotten a little cold.


    Mike saw this and went to help her before returning the ss to her.


    Lily smiled. “Thanks.”


    She took the ss and drank almost half the water to wet her throat.


    Rick stared at them quietly and waited until Lily finished drinking. “Given your rtionship, I don’t

    believe you’re not colluding with each other.”


    Lily chuckled. “Colluding to do what, I wonder? How long have you stayed in Hydend?” she suddenly


    asked.


    Rick narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean?”


    “Well, you probably haven’t stayed in Hydend long enough, so you’re unable to use the correct term


    to express what you’re trying to say,” Lily said.


    “You’re saying I’m using the wrong term?” Rick chuckled coldly. “I’m giving you two a chance to level


    with me, but if you don’t appreciate it, you can’t me me if I go by the book!”


    “Go by the book?” Lily sneered. “You people have always done things your way, and there have never


    been any rules. If you n to kill us for what happened to the boss, do it. As you said, Mike and I aren’t


    your match.”


    “Provoking me won’t work,” Rick said coldly, “Where the hell are you hiding the boss?”


    “Why do you think we’re the culprits? If you’ve thought so, why didn’t you kill us in the conference room


    just now? Do you want to level with us? Who are you putting on a show for? For the higher-ups?” Mike


    mocked.


    “Do you think you can threaten us by kidnapping the boss?”


    “Of course not!” Mike said readily, “I know the boss is just a messenger. If he’s gone, the higher-ups


    could always rece him with another person. He’s not important to them at all!”


    Rick looked thoughtfully at him. The two men remained standoffish and grim.


    Lily cleared her throat to break the tension and said, “I have no idea why you think we did it, but since


    we can’t convince you otherwise, it’s pointless for us to argue further. All right, I admit we’re the culprits.


    What do you n to do about it?”


    Astonished, Mike looked at Lily, wondering why she suddenly admitted it but did not meet his eyes.


    Instead, she gazed calmly at Rick.


    “No, I should ask you—what will you do?” Rick asked solemnly all of a sudden.


    Lily was puzzled.


    Rick leaned forward with his hands on his knees and looked at her severely. He said, “Mrs. Russell, as


    the experiment has entered its final phase, it doesn’t matter whether or not the ‘boss’ is around. So I’m


    more interested in knowing what you will do.”


    Lily was surprised but had to remain calm. “I don’t understand what you mean.”
