The next day, I went to the Mad Doctor's laboratory again.
This time, though, I came alone.
Xie Yi had assigned quite a lot of security to the laboratory. There were guards in plain sight and hidden sentries, along with various security screening devices. Xie Yi had clearly put thought into it.
Yang Jian and that monkey were in charge of security.
Although I found it rather unbelievable, seeing how conscientious Yang Jian and the monkey were made it seem quite legitimate.
Of course, I was never inspected when entering or leaving the laboratory. After all, there was nowhere in the entire base that I was not allowed to go. In that regard, I had even greater privileges than Xie Yi. If Xie Yi wanted to visit the Coordination Team at the Administration Bureau, he had to coordinate in advance, but I did not. I now also held the status of Senior Special Commissioner of the Administration Bureau.
The Mad Doctor was enjoying a rare moment of leisure, sitting in a recliner in the small courtyard and basking in the sun.
He held a book in his hands, one about quantum mechanics.
The book should have been far too elementary for him, yet he was reading it with great interest.
"Eh, what brought you here?" He was somewhat surprised to see that it was me.
I smiled. "I had nothing to do and nowhere else to go, so I came to see you. You seem to have nothing to do today either!"
He rolled his eyes. "Don't tell me you came to supervise me? I gave myself a day off today. Ever since I got here, what day haven't I been busy? Aren't you afraid of working me to death? Are you really trying to be such a heartless boss?"
