Although he is middle-aged and has gray hair, Eric, who is still personable, cordially met Megan in the huge villa of the mansion. After hearing Megan’s intentions, Eric passed an imperceptible strangeness in his eyes, but he still smiled kindly on the surface: "You want to ask me, what was your father's research project at that time?"

Megan nodded.

Eric sighed and said softly: "Back then, your father and I were both young and full of ambitions. We wanted to discover the code for longevity from the tortoise, and then apply it to humans. It's a pity that the research has just gotten a little better, the research room There was a fire, and all the research materials were buried in the fire together with your father."

Megan couldn't help asking: "Is the fire that year really just an accident?"

Eric nodded: "I still have the certificate issued by the police that year. Would you like to see it?"

Megan nodded.

"Okay, then you wait a moment."

Seeing Eric leaving, Megan's mother asked in a low voice, "My dear girl, after so many years, can't you let it go?"

Megan looked at the jeweled mother and grinned reluctantly, without explaining anything.

It didn't take long before Eric came back, holding a folder in his hand. Megan took it and opened it, only to see the investigation report of the fire in the research room that year. The final investigation result is that the fire caused by the short circuit in the research room has ruled out human factors.

But……

Megan recalled the last side of herself and his father.

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

But after waiting for a long time, smoke penetrated through the gap, and Megan had to crawl out of the iron cabinet. It wasn't until this time that Megan realized that a raging fire had ignited outside the house. Although the room he was in had not yet ignited, it was still full of smoke.

Fortunately, there is a small ventilation window in the room, just enough for a child to drill out. Megan, who was about to climb out, suddenly thought of the four tortoises and the big mouse in the laboratory. Looking forward to the research room, the four tortoises and mice are already good friends of Meghan.

Regardless of the danger to his life, Megan rushed out of the room and went to the outside laboratory. At this time, in the fire, the four little turtles and the big mouse seemed to feel the danger, and they were desperately hitting the glass box. Megan rushed forward, hurriedly opened the glass box, hugged the tortoise and the mouse in his arms, and returned to the room where he was before.

Megan threw the tortoise and mouse out of the vent window, and then crawled out by herself. However, just after she crawled out, Megan was surprised to find that the four little turtles and the big mouse were gone.

At the time, Megan thought that he had thrown them too hard, and threw them on the road, and was hit by the passing cars. Recall now that there was a sewer entrance under the window, and the four little turtles and the big mouse might have fallen into the sewer.

"Megan? Megan! Are you okay?"

The mother's voice interrupted Megan's memory. Megan looked at her confused mother and Eric. She smirked and handed the folder to Eric. Eric waved his hand: "I will give you a remembrance."

Megan didn't refuse, and stood up and said, "Then I won't bother you, and I will go."

Mother took Megan's hand and said anxiously: "Since you haven't changed your mind, I won't force it, but at least leave a piece for dinner."

Under the expectant look of her mother, Megan couldn't help but nodded hesitantly. Mother was overjoyed and took Megan to sit down again, while Eric laughed: "Then you talk first, I'll arrange it."

He walked out of the living room and gestured 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 residence. After about ten minutes, they came out empty-handed.

After having lunch together, Eric also deliberately asked the driver to drive Megan. After Megan left, the expressions of Eric and his wife, who were all smiles, cooled down at the same time. The two of them looked at each other, and Megan's mother said coldly: "It's because you didn't do things rigorously in the past, and now you have been turned over by this girl."

Eric sneered disdainfully: "If it weren't for you, I had to spare her a little life, how could there be any mistakes!"

Megan's mother glared at Eric: "Don't forget, she is my biological daughter."

"So what, for the great cause of Master, who can't sacrifice?"

Eric is right.

"Okay, then why don't you die?"

"Rest assured, if I really need to sacrifice, I will not hesitate to define it."

"Bah, it sounds better than singing."

As the couple quarreled, they went to the underground secret room. In a secret room full of Japanese Bushido style, a man in a black robe sits on a tatami with his back facing them.

"Master Assassin!"

The Erics and his wife salute respectfully at the same time.

The man slowly turned around. It was the leader of the Assassin Alliance-Lars El Goul!

"Master~lightnovelpub.net~ I have something important to tell." Eric started, "Do you remember a bioscientist named Hyoplis? His daughter Megan just came here, and it seems she found out Something interesting."

"go on."

Lars said coldly without looking back.

Eric didn't dare to play the dumb riddle again, and quickly said: "The tortoise and mouse that disappeared in the laboratory back then, I guess Megan should know whereabouts."

"Yes?"

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

Megan's mother lowered her head slightly: "She should have found some clues, otherwise she won't come suddenly and ask the truth about the fire that year."

Lars pulled out a cold smile at the corner of his mouth: "Then grab her and interrogate her."

Megan's mother didn't change her expression at all, and said calmly: "If this is your order, I will definitely obey it. But the master, the subordinates think there is a better way."

"Oh, let's talk about it."

"Eric has already sent someone to infiltrate Megan's residence. Although he didn't find anything useful, he also left a monitoring device. As long as we keep track, Megan will be able to find the missing experimental materials."

Lars was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Eric again: "What's your opinion?"

Eric replied cautiously: "The subordinate feels...you can also try."

"Okay, then you will be responsible for this action."

Lars closed his eyes again, turned and sat down.

After the Eric and his wife hurriedly saluted again, they gently exited the secret room.

After the Eric couple left, Lars suddenly opened his eyes, recalling what he had encountered on the dock in his mind, and couldn't help muttering: "Is that tortoise... that's it?"
