Kevin and Thomas exchanged glances, and the suppressed thoughts from earlier surged again. Kevin gazed at Selena, furrowing his brows, his expression indescribable, whether it was excitement or trembling. "Could it be..."
Thomas took a deep breath. "Although this speculation has some basis... don't forget, 'Sacred Pearl' was initially in H Country to kill Mr. Anderson. If Miss Turner is... would she target her boyfriend?"
Kevin's entire body shivered again, chilled by the realization.
Indeed. The reason 'Sacred Pearl' ended up at the Beijing City Research Institute was because of Osvaldo. Selena could never harm her boyfriend.
So-
That speculation was not valid.
But this didn't diminish their excitement much. Even though Selena wasn't the owner of 'Sacred Pearl,' the owner of 'Sacred Pearl' had noticeably shrunk in stature before her! This was an undeniable fact witnessed by everyone!
The only explanation for this was probably the internal relationships within 717 weren't as rumored externally. In the rumors, the owner of 'Sacred Pearl' was the head of Lab 717! Yet, in reality, Selena, one of the relatively unknown trio, held a higher position in Lab 717 than the owner of 'Sacred Pearl'!
The researchers from H Country, staring blankly at Selena sitting expressionlessly in the chair, couldn't describe their feelings after coming to their senses. Suddenly, they felt that giving up the meeting with Selena early in the morning to see the owner of 'Sacred Pearl' was an extremely foolish decision.
"Dea... Dean... We're sorry."
Selena looked at the mechanics who seemed both overwhelmed and shocked after experiencing such ups and downs, raising an eyebrow. Her voice was quite indifferent. "Have you learned your lesson?"
The group collectively lowered their heads in shame.
"Dean, we know we were wrong."
"We won't dare to do it again in the future."
Selena glanced at the time on her phone screen with her delicate fingers and didn't feel like scolding these young people. She waved her hand. "All of you, go back."
Then she raised her head, looked at the Central City researchers who were staring at her warily, and her eyes turned extremely cold. "Research is meant to contribute to humanity. If you can't even treat people well, what contribution can you make? If the Central City Research Institute is full of people like you, it might as well close down now!"
"Inform the H Country military to arrest these people and charge them with their crimes!"
Upon hearing Selena's words, the Central City researchers' faces changed drastically, especially the female researcher who had hit someone, her face turning ashen. They wanted to resist but suddenly remembered that Lindsay had expelled them from the Central City Research Institute, and now they were just ordinary people.
In just a few minutes, they had fallen from being the pride of heaven to lowly prisoners.
Watching the people coming to arrest them, the group couldn't hold on any longer and begged for mercy.
"Mr. Turner, we were blind. We're willing to apologize. Please don't hold it against us."
The female researcher who had hit someone shouted sharply, "We just said a few unpleasant words and hit a small mechanic. It's not a big crime. Why do you dare to arrest us?"
Selena focused her gaze on her face and coldly said, "As the globally renowned holy land of scientific research, the Central City Research Institute is the faith and longing of countless people. The first rule for recruitment is not about scientific research capabilities but about character!"
"But can your morals and mentality match the clothes you're wearing? Don't think you've just made a small mistake."
