The assistant ran ahead in front of them to notify the security guards, and when Yin Mei and Ming Wei arrived, Lei Han had already been guided to wait in the lounge area.

Lei Han, seeing Ming Wei, immediately flashed an expression of extreme rage and disgust, which he quickly hid behind a thinly veiled mask of calm. Then, he saw Yin Mei and was shocked. This expression he didn't hide, just staring at Yin Mei and then between Yin Mei and Ming Wei, as if wanting to know the relationship between the two of them.

"Lei Han," Yin Mei said calmly. "I didn't expect you to be the lover of the doctor's sister!" She feigned surprise, though Lei Han didn't seem to notice how fake her appearance was.

"The doctor's sister?" Lei Han appeared confused, and then his face warped as he thought of something.

"Yes, Miss Ming Yu. Did she not tell you?" Now Yin Mei was actually surprised. It didn't mention anything like this in the information, but Yin Mei had just assumed that Lei Han already knew. She then couldn't help but be exceptionally amused. Haha! For him to fall in love with the sister of the person he hated most in the world without realizing, wasn't that hilarious? And now, seeing that warped expression of his, it really made Yin Mei feel satisfied inside.

Seeing Yin Mei's expression, Lei Han didn't know why, but the ugly emotion he felt inside of him seemed to intensify slightly. Ming Yu was actually the sister of the man who had put him through torture every single day?

It took him a while to calm down as he seemed to struggle inwardly with himself, but he soon took a deep breath as he came to terms with it. No, it didn't matter whether she was that man's sister. After all, it didn't change all the kindness that she had shown him while he was suffering.

But, there wasn't any way that Yin Mei planned on letting him go that easily. Although Yin Mei couldn't be said to be good a reading expressions, and in fact she was actually rather dense, Lei Han's emotions were so clearly displayed that even Yin Mei could notice them. She was upset that he had calmed down so quickly, and wanted to rile him up even more. "Miss Ming Yu is truly the doctor's little sister, her research has always shown such great results. She is especially passionate, even when compared to the others." Yin Mei said, each word stabbing into Lei Han's heart.

Especially passionate? In that research that counted more as torture than anything else?

His hands were clenched together so hard that his nails drew blood from his palms.

With difficulty, he asked, "Where is Ming Yu? I've been trying to contact her, but she's been refusing to meet me. You didn't do anything, did you?" His eyes were blaming, as he looked at Yin Mei. He couldn't understand her presence here. Could it be that she had been in cahoots with Ming Wei since even before, in the past, while they were still lovers? No, that shouldn't be possible... But he had a nagging feeling. He still couldn't truly prove that she had also come back in time, but to him, her actions were unexplainable otherwise. Unless, due to the fact that he had taken different actions compared to before, her actions were the result of some sort of butterfly effect?

"What are you even doing here?" Lei Han asked suspiciously, and Ming Wei, who was next to her, snorted. This man, from the very beginning walking in, had been rude all around. But, since Yin Mei had been the one who had wanted to talk to him, Ming Wei decided to remain quiet in the end, though his cold face showed clear annoyance.

Lei Han, hearing Ming Wei snort condescendingly toward him, immediately bristled, angered by how much the man looked down on him. But before he could say anything, Yin Mei began to speak, answering his question. "I work for the doctor, of course. Why else would I be here? Hearing that you were here, I asked the doctor to let you in, since you were a part of my father's regiment after all." In her voice, there was a slightly blaming tone that stood out, as if Yin Mei was saying, "My father used his life for yours, but you didn't even do anything to help me, his only daughter, after he asked you to."

Lei Han flushed in embarrassment, as if he could hear those words coming out of Yin Mei's mouth, even though she hadn't actually said them. This was the one thing that bugged him even after all this time, was that Yin Mei's father was his life savior. But then, thinking of all the things that he had done for the girl in the past and all that he had suffered after she had betrayed him, that little bit of guilt quickly faded.

Lei Han seemed to ignore her answer, as he asked again, "Where's Ming Yu?"

"Miss Ming Yu already left. She's been working hard these past few days, so I don't think it's strange that she wouldn't want to see you. I mean, you two must not be too close if you didn't even know that she was the doctor's sister..." Yin Mei mumbled that last part in a quiet voice, but for Lei Han, whose hearing had been enhanced by the energy cores, he could still clearly hear her say that.

He wanted to be mad, but he also started to doubt Ming Yu himself. Indeed, it was true that she never mentioned this, in the past life or this life. Was he really that untrustworthy...? Or was there something more to it? He shook his head, deciding he could think about all this later. He then spoke with suspicion, "You aren't locking her away or something are you?"

Yin Mei almost coughed on her own spit. "What in the world do you think the lab is?? Of course the doctor wouldn't do that! In the first place, Ming Yu is the doctor's own flesh and blood. Ming Yu is doing all this of her own violation." Yin Mei emphasized the part where she said "her own violation". That was right, Ming Yu was doing this of her own choice! As for being threatened and pressured into making that choice, well, Yin Mei didn't know anything about that?

Yin Mei didn't really want the two of them to meet, in case Ming Yu ended up complaining to Lei Han. She just knew that Ming Yu would take that white lotus approach of not complaining but still placing hidden blame in her words and letting others feel outraged on her behalf. It was such a classic white lotus move! All the white lotus villains in the novels would do this. Hm? That seemed a little strange for some reason.

Sadly, Yin Mei wasn't able to use this move. The difficulty was too high for a shoddy actor like her, whose IQ was too low for those honey coated words that used seven turns and fourteen curves to send poison thorns to their opponents.

Honestly, Yin Mei could barely understand what the hidden intentions behind the words of characters in those ancient court drama novels were even after they had been explained by the author, let alone talk in such a manner like that.

So she could only disappointedly think that she would not be able to master this super useful skill that seemed exclusive toward fake white lotuses.

For Yin Mei, who wasn't a pro at hiding her expression, her face quickly went from looking happy, to like she had ate a fly, and then to disappointed. One would have a hard time trying to figure out her train of thought.

She then sighed, still feeling disappointed when she thought of this OP skill. Whatever, who needed words when everything in the apocalypse could be solved with brute force?

That's right. In the apocalypse, strength was the ruling king. Hah, a weakling like Ming Yu could quickly be taken care of, as long as she was separated from this big thigh known as Lei Han. Yin Mei was just afraid that Ming Yu might possess the mysterious summoning ability of all female leads that seemed to call the male lead or second male leads or other men to their side in times of danger, saving them in the nick of time.

Yin Mei shivered. Oh no, just thinking about it made her a little terrified, imaging number X Mary Sue female lead in front of her army of pok*mon, excuse me, she meant her army of male suitors.

Just as Yin Mei was spacing out, Ming Wei frowned, placing a hand on her shoulder, saying in a firm voice, "Lu Mei," and snapping her back to attention. She blinked, looking at Ming Wei with an invisible question mark on her face, tilting her head in confusion.

"Eh? What were we talking about again?" She asked, blinking as she looked back to Lei Han and Ming Wei took his hand off her shoulder. The doctor narrowed his eyes at her, resolving to quickly push up his plans to write that introduction letter - look, she was even experiencing loss of focus and concentration now.

Lei Han took this all into his eyes, the "intimate" touch of Ming Wei's hand on Yin Mei's shoulder, his voice which was filled with "affection", and his gaze filled with concern, as well as Yin Mei's obvious comfort with his touch, clearly used to this (no, she's just a clueless person). His expression turned slightly ugly. Even though they were lovers, she so quickly got together with another man? To top it off, it was the person he hated most in this world. It seemed Lei Han kept on forgetting that in this time line, him and Lu Mei weren't even close, and had of course, never gotten together.

Seeing Lei Han's expression suddenly darken, Yin Mei wondered what in the world upset him so much. She was a little frustrated. If she knew, then couldn't she make it happen again and upset him more?

"Anyways, if that's all the business you have, you should probably go and talk with Miss Ming Yu instead. We can't really help you here." Yin Mei said, feeling that she had enough disappointments of the day. "Oh, but you know what, it would be great if you could help out with the experiments. Someone with a great ability like yours would be absolutely perfect. You would be helping out all of humanity with your contribution-"

"Shut up!" Lei Han growled in a loud voice, his eyes turning red from rage. She actually dared suggest such a thing? What helping humanity? They said they were working on a cure, but in actuality, they were just torturing people. Lei Han didn't think that they were working on a cure, in fact, he felt that it was more likely that they were working on dangerous drugs or biochemicals similar to the zombie virus.

Of course, this wasn't totally off the mark, since this lab was not solely for the creation of the zombie cure. For example, Yin Mei had mentioned before, but Ming Wei had also created an ability enhancing drug. Although the main goal of the lab was the creation of a cure, they created many drugs that aided humanity while researching it.

But, Lei Han didn't know any of this. For one, the creator of these drugs had been kept under wraps and it had simply been distributed under the name of B City's government. On the other hand, Lei Han was able to justify his own vengeance by thinking that there was no way the person he hated so much and thought was so evil could do anything to benefit humanity.

Yin Mei had plans to have Ming Wei fully complete the zombie cure. Though, of course, she also wanted to keep it delayed until a significant number of zombies had gained intelligence. This was to gather allies up under the zombie emperor's name. She didn't know what mission would come after breaking the zombie emperor out from the lab, but if it was in line with the previous mission, then maybe something like world domination? Anyways, she needed to work with her goal to help the zombie emperor in mind at all times. But, she still wanted to see Lei Han's face when the man he hated the most became humanity's savior.

Haha, she really would enjoy that day! She had to make him feel regret, doubt... shatter the confidence of always being right that seemed to belong to all those web novel protagonists.
