Luo Lin took a few deep breaths and the way he looked at the cameras slowly calmed down. It even carried a tinge of despair and helplessness now.
He had no choice.
Now that things had come to this, there was nothing he could do about it.
Nobody was willing to become a tool or to become someone else's puppet. But there were times where one had to bear the consequences of one's own decisions.
But he never expected this to possibly last a lifetime.
He knew that Hayson was watching him now. This lab, the whole of Tescon and even his own daily life was being watched all the time.
He had thought of leaving this sort of life, but he knew very well that was impossible.
His wife was alive because of Hayson, so if he left, his wife would die.
When he thought about this, Luo Lin sighed and could only resign himself to his fate.
He got up and got changed. He was already used to being watched no matter what he did. He left the office and got ready to go home.
He was constantly being watched even while going home, and Luo Lin knew about this a long time ago.
As usual, he went to a cake shop on the way home to buy his wife's favorite cake for her.
"Hello there, one slice of blackforest cake to go, thanks," said Luo Lin politely.
The shop assistant nodded and packed the cake neatly into the box.
"Mr Luo, that will be $5."
Luo Lin instantly looked up with a start. He had come here to buy cake many times now, but he had never told the staff his name. How did this shop assistant know his name?
He looked at the shop assistant, but the shop assistant just smiled and passed the cake to Luo Lin. As they exchanged hands, the shop assistant secretly tapped Luo Lin's hand with his fingers and Luo Lin got the message.
He calmly said, "Thank you."
After Luo Lin left with the cake, Jiang Ning lowered the baseball cap on his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.
