Lily took a step back to avoid Mike's touch and scrutinized him.
Unexpectedly, he had prepared himself.
Lily's plan to infiltrate the research institute had failed.
However, if she were to hold Mike hostage, would that stop the laboratory from running? Her mind began to spin.
After all, Mike was the major shareholder in this project.
Without him and his money, it would be difficult for them to continue the research.
"Lily, things are lurking in these waters.You shouldn't try to swim.You still have children to care for, and..."
He glanced at her stomach.
"You're risking too much.If Alexander were still here, he would never allow you to do this, am | right?"

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean if Alexander were still here?"
Lily quickly picked up on his words as she stared at him.
"Does the lab have anything to do with the plague in Burnwken? What other projects have you guys been running besides mine?
Tell me!"
"You shouldn't stay here for long, and this isn't a place to talk.You should go home.We'll discuss this next time."
Looking past the wall, Mike vaguely heard smovement and quickly reached out to grab her wrist.
"Let's get out of here first!"
For the first time, Lily did not struggle.She allowed him to drag her for a few minutes and only stopped when they were a little
further away from the laboratory.
"I thought you would resist me," Mike said with a relieved smile.
"I'm not that stupid.Why would | force my way in when | know trouble is waiting forthere? Besides, | don't have to break in! The
best hostage is in my hands right now," she said, looking at him intensely.
Mike, who was panting, raised his head to look at her when he heard this.He burst into laughter when he noticed that she was
staring at him like he was prey.
"You're going to takeas a hostage?"
He read her mind at a glance.
Shaking his head, he continued, "First, you need to know that a hostage is only a hostage if you know you can get what you want
with them.Otherwise, you're holdingcaptive for nothing.
"Why not? You provide them with the funds.I don't believe they can continue if | cut off the main chain!"
Lily felt that he was just making an excuse.
"Didn't Mr.Russell provide money in the beginning as well? Did the experiment stop once he withdrew?" Mike questioned back.
Lily did not answer for a while.
"That's because you joined in and funded them!" He nodded.
"That's right.So what if you holdhostage or kill me? Do you think they'll stop? You have no idea. This lab is just a cover-
up.Although it looks like the most menacing thing right now, there are darker things you don't know about."

With that, silence hung in the air.
Lily was confused by Mike's words.
‘Were they committing a crime? Wouldn't this mean Mike has admitted to being a part of it?"
"Since you know this, why aren't you stopping?" She asked in confusion.
"Did you know the true motive of this research from the beginning? Is that why you insisted on joining?"
"Don't ask so many questions! The more you know, the more dangerous it can get for you.Don't chere again, and don’t worry
about things you shouldn't care about.Go back and tend to your children.Your safety is guaranteed with La Beaute Group's power
and ability." Mike avoided all her questions.
"Do you think | can let it go now that | know so much? You should know how much I've participated and spent on this project.
Now that Professor Thompson is dead, and Austin is missing, how can | ignore all this? "Not to mention the plague in Burnwken and
the fact that | have no idea whether Edward and Alexander are alive.How can you tellto go hand tend to my children? Do
you think that's possible?"
She stood her ground, looking at Mike, who had straightened up.
The two stared at each other without any exchange of words.
