Chapter 383 Courtyard

If it weren’t for Carlo knowing Cory well enough to know that Cory wouldn’t cause trouble recklessly, he would have intervened just now.

Even if Cory had obtained specific intelligence and was aware that spies were coming, their time was limited, and they couldn’t stay behind to protect the research personnel here. Cory coldly spoke up. “Imbecile! Dr. Dunn just lied!”

“Did Dr. Dunn lie? What does that mean? What is he hiding from us?” asked Carlo. Cory shook his head and said, “Let’s wait for two days and see. Don’t rush!”

As a matter of fact, Cory was not aware of what Dr. Dunn had been keeping hidden from them. He merely had a vague feeling that this matter was not simple or that there was something they wanted inside this experimental base.

No matter whether his judgment was accurate or not, he would like to stay and examine carefully. Hearing Cory’s words, Carlo decided it was best to remain silent and stay here for the time being.

After separating from the two, Randolph went to the small courtyard. He was the only person who could enter the courtyard. Not even the students under his command could enter.

“Mrs. Swann, what is your perspective on this matter?”

Randolph told Catherine everything that had happened and was waiting for her decision. Catherine lazily replied, “As long as it doesn’t bother me, do whatever you want!”

“Mrs. Swann, rest assured that I will not let the two disturb you,” replied Randolph.

“My teacher’s time is super valuable, and it’s rare for her to come back and research with me for a few days. If her time is wasted, wouldn’t it be such a great pity?” thought he.

Catherine was still researching new embryos and had no time for Randolph. “You can go back now. I’ll have Seven find you if I need you!”

As a researcher, Randolph naturally understood the importance of focus. Seeing Catherine focusing on her work, he dared not disturb her and quietly put down the food to leave.

There was a cafeteria on the base/ Carlo and Cory would have dinner at the cafeteria tonight.

Randolph gave them simple instructions. The plants in the experimental field must not be touched. Access to the seed bank was forbidden. Above all, the small courtyard was off-limits.

With a serious expression, Carlo nodded in agreement. When it became dark in the evening, the two stealthily made their way to the gate of the small courtyard.

“Aaron, I’ve told you something is wrong with this courtyard. Look, they installed an electronic lock on this shabby fence, and astonishingly, it’s even electrified. The voltage is so high that even a strong bull could be electrocuted!”

Cory had no intention of arguing with him. He was studying how to crack the electronic lock. He initially thought it was just an ordinary electronic lock, but it turned out to be very difficult to unlock. Ten minutes later, Cory declared his surrender.

Carlo was shocked. “Aaron, even you can’t unlock it?”

Cory gave him a side-eye, saying, “If you’re so capable, why don’t you have a try?”

After finishing speaking, Carlo immediately followed him.

“I did not mean it. I always believed that you were a master of unlocking. I did not expect that there are locks you cannot crack!”

In fact, Cory did have a way to crack the lock, but he needed more time and couldn’t guarantee that there would be no noise.

It would be troublesome if they acted rashly and alerted the enemy. Therefore, he decided to leave before considering the next steps.

Both of them were unaware that their every move just now was observed clearly by the people in the small courtyard.

Seven slowly approached Catherine and said, “Boss, there is the bad guy. Do you want me to activate attack mode?”

Perhaps Cory and Carlo should be grateful that Catherine was in the courtyard. Otherwise, Seven would have entered attack mode without reporting first.

Thus, it was likely that they would be awaiting rescue at the hospital now. Catherine glanced at the monitor screen and gave a cold smile with no intention of making a move.

“They’re smart enough to know when to back off and avoid getting shot. Otherwise, they’ll have to get a taste of my bullets,” said she inwardly.

After returning empty-handed last night, Cory had been unwilling to accept the failure. He got up early in the morning and waited outside the small courtyard with Carlo.

The entire morning had elapsed, leaving them nearly baked under the scorching sun, while there was still no sign of activity in the courtyard.

Just when the two were about to give up, Randolph rushed to the gate of the small courtyard, holding a few sheets of data paper and looking excited.

In an instant, the nerves of Cory and Duncan were instantly ignited as they fixated their attention on the courtyard with unwavering focus. After Randolph stood at the doorway for a while, a slender girl descended from the upstairs.

They couldn’t see her clearly because Randolph was blocking the way. After the arrival of two outsiders, Catherine immediately upgraded the security system of the courtyard by a level. Even Randolph needed to apply for access.

Randolph had made a discovery in his experiment and promptly came to inform Catherine of the news.

He was about to call “Mrs. Swann,” but unexpectedly, Catherine beat him to it and said, “Mr. Dunn, what’s making you so happy?”

He was momentarily stunned before quickly responding to cooperate with Catherine.

“The data improvement you proposed the other day has yielded results. I have brought it for you to review!”

Catherine nodded and then walked toward the small field ahead. As Catherine walked straight toward them, Carlo dared not keep looking and was about to retreat but was stopped by Cory.

Before he could ask what Cory meant, he was pulled out. The two groups of people faced each other. Randolph looked embarrassed. He would have made a mistake if it weren’t for his quick-thinking teacher just now.

“Why are the two young men so disobedient?

“They didn’t follow my rules. It’s truly infuriating!” thought he. Catherine glanced up and down at the two, her cold gaze slowly falling upon them as she spoke in a voice devoid of emotion.

“Gentlemen, you have been exposed to the sun all morning. Are you not afraid of heatstroke?”

Cory’s expression slightly changed as he never expected the other party to know that they were outside and still dared to come out.

“Are they too confident or simply don’t care about us at all?” he wondered. Carlo was taken aback by Catherine’s beauty. He never expected to see such a stunning girl here.

“Her face, her figure is simply stunning!” thought he. Upon seeing the impudent youth persistently staring at his esteemed teacher, Randolph became furious. He popped out from behind and went into his teacher mode, grabbing Carlo by the ear.

“You brat! If you look at my student disrespectfully, I will rip your ears off!”

Carlo also knew that he had made a mistake and quickly apologized. The desire for beauty was universal among people. He just thought this girl was good-looking without any other evil intentions.

He didn’t expect Randolph to be so overprotective of his student, and his ear was hurting badly. Randolph decisively brushed off Carlo and looked at Cory.

“You little troublemaker! Didn’t you promise me that you wouldn’t come to the courtyard? What have I said to you? How did you guarantee it?”

Compared to Carlo, Cory had a much colder temperament. He looked at Randolph with a stern face. “Dr. Dunn, we haven’t forgotten our agreement. We are just here to enjoy the sun and haven’t entered the courtyard, so it doesn’t violate our agreement!”

“Some people are so shameless that there’s nothing you can do to deal with them,” said Randolph inwardly.

His face turned red from anger.

A scholar like him couldn’t win an argument over Cory.
