“Did your boss tell you to askthat?” Lily asked with a raised brow.
Mike said nothing momentarily before he replied, “You're still wary ofeven now, aren't you?”
“Yes,” Lily answered unapologetically.
The things Mike did and what he kept from them in the past made it impossible for Lily to trust him completely. After all, it was
hard to rebuild broken trust, especially not with a few words exchanged.
They were no longer friends, but Mike was not her enemy either.
“Is there anyone | know working in this lab?” Lily asked out of the blue.
Mike was stunned and pondered momentarily before answering, “A few people here have worked with you before. Why? Did you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmeet them?”
“It's not them,” Lily said with determination as she shook her head.
There might be those people who Mike mentioned here, but Lily only had vague memories of them. Lily was not one to socialize
much or put in the effort to build relationships with her colleagues, so she would not remember them much.
She would only remember those who she had a close relationship with. It only took her a glance at the man to find him familiar,
which meant he was different from the rest.
Hence, Lily was sure he was someone she knew well and might even be someone she was close to. It was just that she could not
pinpoint who he was for the tbeing.
After ssilence, she suddenly said, “Turn around.”
Mike was puzzled. Although doubtful, he did as Lily told him under her determined gaze.
Lily observed how Mike looked from the back carefully. Then she took a few steps back and tried to find the right angle, but in the
end, she still shook her head because it was not him earlier.
She had a feeling it was not Mike since the beginning, but to be sure, she wanted to look at him carefully before concluding.
However, who else could it be if it was not Mike?
“What is it? Who did you meet?” Mike turned around and saw her wrinkled brows. He asked, “You met a friend?”
“] can’t be sure,” Lily said lightly.
This organization was mysterious, and it had complicated relationships with its branches. It was hard to tell who they would recruit
into this organization. Above all, Lily and Alexander had no idea that Mike was part of this before he exposed himself.

Now that Lily was here, it was tough for her to tell who else she could meet.
“Lily, it's not entirely impossible for you to meet a friend here. Even if I've been part of this organization for a long time, | can tell
you | haven't learned about them completely. They're too secretive and cunning.” Mike stopped and took a deep breath as he
scanned their surroundings.
The two stood in an empty area, so it was easy to know if anyone was hiding at a glance.
When Mike ensured they were alone, he said in a lower voice, “But the boss should have all the secrets and key information about
the organization.”
“Oh?” Lily raised her brow and gave him a direct response.
Mike was not bothered by her attitude and continued, “The organization had moved its headquarters twice, but | haven't seen
anything particularly protected during the move. There seemed to be no safes or computers either, so | think it might be
something the boss carries around.”
