Dean Gao Yan's expression was grave as he grasped Lin Xian's arm and headed toward the door of the office, displaying an impatient urgency.
This left Chu Shanhe truly unable to sit still.
What had incensed Dean Gao to such a degree?
Wasn't a reprimand in front of the others enough? Did he need to move to another location to give a stern lecture?
He hastily got up to follow.
However—
"Shanhe, wait here. I'd like to have a word with Lin Xian alone."
Just as Chu Shanhe had risen, Dean Gao's look pressed him back into his seat.
This...
Chu Shanhe didn't know whether to sit or stand.
In the blink of an eye, Dean Gao Yan and Lin Xian had already left the office and disappeared around the corridor corner.
Chu Shanhe had never seen the usually composed and foundational pillar of China, Dean Gao, walk with such quick, small steps before.
…
Clang!
Dean Gao Yan pulled Lin Xian into a small laboratory and shut the heavy steel door with a loud bang.
