Revenge After Death

Chapter 623

Steven and I kept our hands tightly intertwined even until we got back home.

We were too afraid of losing each other. The life we had now seemed like a precious gift.

"It's probably at this location, Dad." Ashton looked at the huge map of Huma in the basement and pointed at the center.

"It should be this location, Dad. There's a food market nearby, right?" He looked up at Steven.

Steven nodded. "This is Huma University, the most densely populated area in Huma. There's a food market nearby Huma University on that street."

I looked at him in surprise. "Their laboratory is located inside the university?"

Steven whispered, "Huma University has their own laboratory. The Fords invested in the construction of a huge basement laboratory for the Huma University School of Medicine many years ago."Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

As expected, it was within the university grounds. There was a huge secret lying beneath the university, and the campus provided an excellent cover for it.

"What a madman-"I chuckled helplessly.

What a bunch of madmen.

Many university students walked the path daily, yet they never knew that there was a hidden laboratory beneath their campus. There, lives were used as experimental subjects for cruel experiments.

Steven's phone rang. It was a call from Eason.

"I need your help, Steven." His voice sounded anxious.

"What happened?" Steven asked.

I looked at him, alerted. It was hard for Eason with that personality of his to get even help from Steven- his pride would take a hit.

Eason said, "We've received an overwhelming amount of missing person reports in the past two days. It was as if they were all premeditated. Their families came rushing over with cold cases some as far back as 40 years.

"The most recent ones happened half a month ago before Genome Society was exposed."

Troubled, he continued, "We have no leads right now, so we need your help."

Steven eyed me.

The serial murder cases, the killing games in the ruined building, the incident on the Death Cruise, as well as those horrifying mutilation cases that exposed Genome Society's human trafficking incidents back then ... Now, families of missing people were flocking to the police station to report their cases.

"These families came from all over the country, mostly from remote villages and places with limited information. But somehow, they all came to Huma to report their cases. They refuse to tell us why even when asked." Eason was frustrated.

It seemed like another of the Rebels' counter-attacks against Genome Society.

Steven replied, "Alright. Please come pick us up."

He looked at me. For once, he wasn't facing it alone he told Eason to pick us up.

I held onto Steven's hand tightly, unsure of what other shocking and terrifying event we were about to

face.

"Should we drop the kids at Xandra's while we head out?" I asked softly.

For some reason, I subconsciously rather trusted Xandra, whom we had known only for a while.

Besides, Rachel was currently still on holiday.

Steven shook his head. "Just bring them along. Their noses are more sensitive than police dogs. They might be of help."

He ruffled Ashton's hair after that. Ashton hugged my arm and nuzzled against me. "I'll protect all of you, Mom!"

I smiled wryly. This kid who had barely grown up was such an actor. I sighed and nodded. "Alright."
