The head of security nodded, his eyes fixed on theputer screen, narrowing slightly as he remembered spotting someone that night. When he had directed his shlight toward the figure, they had turned to nce back, allowing him to make a few gestures in front of his eyes.


    Everyone at the meeting was now watching him, waiting for his verdict.


    After a couple of minutes, the head of security looked puzzled and turned to Dr. Ray, saying, "It looks like him, but then again, it doesn''t."


    Dr. Ray''s eyes narrowed in thought.


    The head of security quickly added, "It was really dark that night, and the person was a bit away. They were in full disguise, so it''s hard to be sure. But if this person is the one from that night, they''d definitely have a gunshot wound through the chest."


    He gestured towards his heart area again.


    Dr. Ray paused, then asked, "What are the chances someone could survive a shot from you?"


    Given his position as head of security, his skills were indisputable.


    The head of security thought for a moment, "Pretty slim, but if they had an unusual physical trait, like a heart positioned more to the right, then maybe."


    Though, having a heart on the right side was rare.


    Just then, Brack, seated nearby, chimed in, "No need to guess blindly. Dr. Ray, why don''t you just have hime back? Or better yet, let''s not alert him for now. Just give us his address, and I''ll send someone to keep him from running."


    Brack reached for his phone but remembered the institute''s signal jammers and put it back.


    Dr. Ray considered Brack''s suggestion and found it sensible. He grabbed some paper and a pen from a drawer and wrote down the address Nick had left on his file.


    Soon, Brack''s team headed out with the address.


    The head of security also began to leave the office but stopped as something came to mind. He turned back and said, "Oh, Dr. Ray, remember someone broke into the pharmaceutical storage a couple of months ago? Any leads on that?"


    Before Dr. Ray could answer, Manuel jumped up and approached him, "Who was it?"


    "It wasn''t anyone from our institute," the head of security replied, pulling out his phone and erging a photo. "This is him."


    Manuel recognized the face but couldn''t immediately recall the name. "Isn''t this guy from the virology institute? Why would he take our Lab 3''s pharmaceuticals?"


    He remembered the solution had just been developed two months ago. It was scarce, just a few samples, and one had mysteriously disappeared, prompting an investigation.


    With recent data loss issues, Manuel had nearly forgotten about the incident.


    Hearing the words "virology institute," Dr. Ray frowned and asked to see the photo.


    The person in the photo was Adler.


    "How could it be him?" Dr. Ray was genuinely surprised.


    Manuel looked at Dr. Ray, "Dr. Ray?"


    Dr. Ray raised a hand, not speaking, as the fog in his mind began to clear after seeing Adler''s photo.


    Just a couple of days ago, Adler and Andy from the virology institute had shown up at the institute, urgently requesting to borrow someone.


    And the person they needed was none other than Nick.
