Chapter 365 Acquaintance?
At these words, Ruby's eyes suddenly widened opened, "Only the living room?"
Levi nodded, “The other party should have already predicted that we would search carefully in the
bedroom, so they did not install it in the bedroom, but in the dead corner of the living room, which is
easy to be ignored, so that the same effect of listening and monitoring can be achieved. After you left, I
have searched it and then found it."
Ruby frowned; she did search the bedroom thoroughly before she left, and indeed did not focus on the
living room.
After all, there wasn't much in the living room and she didn't care.
So it seemed that she had been negligent. There had been so much going on lately, and with her
limited energy, it was inevitable that she would be negligent.
The other party must have seen her disguised appearance and that was why they followed her all the
way.
But how did these mercenaries find their way here, given that she had shaken off the men?
And this was the back door. If the other party did not know about this place in advance, they had made
an extensive deployment in advance and surrounded the entire laboratory.
But how did the other party know that she would definitely come to the lab?
It was no secret that she worked in Dr. Moore's lab, but not many people know about it.
Just as she was wrinkling her brow in thought, Levi took her hand: "Come on, get in the car first, even
though those people have left, it's still not safe here, let's go home."
Ruby nodded, then asked, "Our home ......"
Levi knew what she wanted to ask, “Don’t worry, Chester has checked our house, including the entire
Shangcheng International district thoroughly, and the place is currently guarded so that not even a fly
can be let in."
At these words, Ruby was relieved, lifted her backpack and followed him to the car.
When she got home, she went to see Olivia first.
The little girl had had a scare after all and had put her mind down when she got home and was now in
a deep sleep.
"She fell asleep not long after you left, so I took the time to search the other corners of the house, and
after finding the cameras, thinking that the other party had discovered your disguised appearance, I
called Chester to find you, and luckily he was in time."
As he said this, his face froze, not daring to imagine the dire consequences if he had been a step later.
The more he thought about it, the more fearful he became, and he took Ruby's hand in his, clutching it
with a little strength, as if he was worried that she would disappear in the next moment.
"No matter what happens in the future, I will do my best to be by your side and will not let you face any
more danger alone."
If something irreparable happened again, as it did that night five years ago, he would go mad.
Ruby's eyes were dark as she stared at his stoic face, her heart beat faster.
She pursed her lips and smiled, her voice clear as she responded, "Okay."
This seemed to be the first time that she had accepted his kindness so unthinkingly and with such
unspeakable pleasure.
At the moment, however, there was not so much time left for the two of them, and they did not set their
hearts on their feelings, and went on to talk about the unusual nature of the day.
"Do you suspect something?" Levi got up and poured her a glass of water, testing the temperature with
the palm of his hand before handing it to her.
Ruby took it, took a couple of sips, and organized her thoughts before giving a brief account of all those
doubts she had just now.
Levi frowned: "It is indeed perverse, since the other party knew that you were disguised, how could
they have sent only two cars to follow you? And after they lost you, they actually managed to ambush
you behind the lab?"
Ruby put the glass of water down, the residual heat still on her fingertips, she twisted it unconsciously,
her clear pupils becoming deep, the corners of her mouth pursed, as if to give a reasonable
explanation for these doubts.
"Since the other party was so meticulous, they couldn't have sent only two cars to follow me. Doing so
can only mean that the other party is sure of everything."
"Sure of everything?"
Ruby nodded, "The only possibility is that the other party has already anticipated where I'm going."
At this, something occurred to Levi: "Are you suspecting that the other party might be someone you
know?"
Ruby leaned back into the backrest of the sofa, her arms wrapped around her body, and corrected, "It
should be an acquaintance."
Levi's frown grew deeper and deeper, and his low voice rang out, "It is precisely because it is an
acquaintance that he was able to anticipate that you would most likely go to Dr. Moore's lab, so ......"
At this, Levi’s eyes became cold, “Those mercenaries had been ambushing there. They probably didn't
know that there was a secret room in the lab, and that there was a secret door, but they already had all This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
their men ready, and most likely, the lab was surrounded on all sides by those mercenaries, waiting for
you to show up and catch you."
Ruby nodded solemnly, then pursed her lips, "I was almost caught by them."
Then, her face became grave again, "But they have really deployed tightly in order to deal with me, I
was careless this time."
How could she have expected that the other party would send mercenaries?
Levi also found this suspicious: "The person who wants to lay hands on you must be of extraordinary
strength. They are even able to hire so many mercenaries just to rob the relic in your hands, do you
have any idea about the true nature of this person?"
Ruby was silent for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I have never liked to suspect my friends, and
besides, since the other party dared to do so, he obviously wasn't worried that I would find out
anything."
As she said this, there was not a trace of displeasure or annoyance on her face, but instead a playful
smile was seen.
"I'm a bit curious as to who this person hiding behind is that he is so interested in my grandmother's
relics."
As her words fell, she dropped her gaze to the backpack and inclined her head towards Levi, "Want to
see together what goodies my grandmother has left for me?"
Levi sat down next to her, taking the box out of the backpack, "You open it."
Without saying anything, Ruby took out the key she kept close to her and finally opened the delicate
wooden box.
