Unified footsteps were heard, and a team of men in military uniforms showed up at the laboratory doorway.
“What the…” Flustered, Dashiell looked toward Dr. Blanc. “Dr. Blanc, what the hell is this?”
The presence of these men showed that things had gotten serious.
Dr. Blanc turned around to face him. “Dr. Stone, Dr. Russell, you both signed the non-disclosure agreements when you first joined, and you know the rules here. Besides, bickering can’t solve any problems in our department. It’s a serious matter, and no matter who the culprit is, we cannot tolerate such an act in this department!”
The X Department was a special division, and the military would intervene during emergencies. Even Dr. Blanc worked for the military. It was apparent that he was the one who mobilized these men.
“Dr. Blanc, it had nothing to do with me. She’s trying to take revenge on me because I doubted her, and she resents me for it. You must get to the bottom of this, as I’m truly innocent! The person in that video is not me, and I don’t know what it’s all about!” He was arguing confidently just now, but he grew nervous seeing those men in military uniforms.
He now realized it was a serious matter, and he could not argue his way out.
“Dr. Blanc, seeing that we still don’t know what exactly happened, isn’t it… a bit unfair treating Dr. Stone like this?” Someone close to Dashiell made a feeble attempt to defend him.
Dr. Blanc glanced at him calmly. “Don’t worry. We’ll be fair.”
He turned to Lily. “Dr. Russell, all your lab mice have indeed died of an unknown cause as of now. As for the videos you provided, they only serve as a reference, as we still can’t determine their authenticity.
“This is a serious matter, whether it was you who made a mistake or someone else sabotaged the experiment. Therefore, before we get to the bottom of what happened, you and Dr. Stone can no longer work in the lab.”
“What the....” A commotion broke out. “So what Dr. Blanc is saying is that both Dashiell and Lily would have to be contained?”
