Faced with Rhea’s doubts, Lily was neither angry nor nervous. Instead, she raised her pen upward and pointed to the ceiling. "Oh,
but there are CCTVs."
Rhea immediately fell silent but still did not believe Lily. "No one checks the surveillance footage, so you can run your mouth! Who
knows if you were really at the lab?!"
"l did."
Lily initially wanted to defend herself by saying Rhea could check the footage if she did not believe her, but before Lily could open
her mouth, the man at the side spoke. Lily was startled and quickly swallowed her words.
"What?!" Rhea did not expect him to defend Lily and was momentarily stunned.

"I've checked all the monitoring systems, and she’s not lying," the man said in a deep voice.
The 'she' he mentioned naturally referred to Lily.
Rhea's lips moved as if he wanted to say something. Instead, she stared at Lily fiercely and leaned back, somewhat unconvinced.
"All right, it's useless to discuss this now. Our priority is to get the boss back as soon as possible. Rick, you've been with the boss
for the longest tand know the most. Do you have any suspicions about who it is; who has such ability to take the boss away?"
Mike diverted the conversation back to the main topic slowly.
Rick looked at him with deep brown eyes and lightly said, "As for who it is, | have no idea yet. But | want to ask if you should know
best what you were doing then."
As soon as Mike changed the topic, Rick suddenly threw the arrow of suspicion back at Mike.
Mike sneered. "So, are you suspicious ofas well?!"
He nodded and continued, "Indeed! | was indeed the only one there at that time. The boss was looking for me, saying he had
something to tell me, so | went over immediately. However, someone suddenly attacked him, and even your people were no match
for the attacker. What else could | do?! I'm lucky | managed to get away with my life!"
He patted his injured leg with his hand to confirm his statement, even though the pain made him sweat profusely.
"Is your injury severe?" Rick asked suddenly.
Lily sensed something was wrong, glanced over, and saw that Rick was already by Mike's side. Rick pressed one hand against

"What are you doing?!" Mike exclaimed in surprise.
Lily's eyes darkened. She clenched her pen tightly and noticed Rick had slashed the bandage wrapped around Mike's leg. Even his
trousers tore, revealing a hideous wound. The wound was long and thin and looked like a deep cut with the skin torn apart.
Although these people had witnessed many bloody scenes, they could not help but frown.
Rhea subconsciously turned away and complained unhappily, "What are you doing, Rick?!"
"A knife wound?" Rick asked, raising his eyebrows.
Mike huffed and cursed angrily, "Nonsense! Of course, it's a knife wound. Did you think it was a gunshot wound? If it was a gun,
how could no one notice? Sometimes, | question how you guys have been around the boss for so long!"
