CHAPTER 1715 HOSTAGE
Luo Lin took a few deep breaths and the way he looked at the cameras slowly calmed down. It even carried a tinge of despair and helplessness now.
He had no choice.
Now that things had come to this, there was nothing he could do about it.
Nobody was willing to become a tool or to become someone else's puppet. But there were times where one had to bear the consequences of one's own decisions.
But he never expected this to possibly last a lifetime.
He knew that Hayson was watching him now. This lab, the whole of Tescon and even his own daily life was being watched all the time.
He had thought of leaving this sort of life, but he knew very well that was impossible.
His wife was alive because of Hayson, so if he left, his wife would die. This belongs to - ©.
When he thought about this, Luo Lin sighed and could only resign himself to his fate.
He got up and got changed. He was already used to being watched no matter what he did. He left the office and got ready to go home.
He was constantly being watched even while going home, and Luo Lin knew about this a long time ago.
As usual, he went to a cake shop on the way home to buy his wife's favorite cake for her.
"Hello there, one slice of blackforest cake to go, thanks," said Luo Lin politely.
The shop assistant nodded and packed the cake neatly into the box.
"Mr Luo, that will be $5."
Luo Lin instantly looked up with a start. He had come here to buy cake many times now, but he had never told the staff his name. How did this shop assistant know his name?
He looked at the shop assistant, but the shop assistant just smiled and passed the cake to Luo Lin. As they exchanged hands, the shop assistant secretly tapped Luo Lin's hand with his fingers and Luo Lin got the message.
He calmly said, "Thank you."
After Luo Lin left with the cake, Jiang Ning lowered the baseball cap on his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I can't believe this poor professor has been held hostage. This Tescon is really something, huh."
Jiang Ning found out through his information that Luo Lin and the other experts in integrated circuits had all found themselves in this sort of predicament. It was going to be hard for them to get themselves out of this one.
Tescon looked like a corporation on the surface, but they dabbled in other things in secret. Not many people knew about their dark side.
But Jiang Ning had already gotten Amelia Ceyranka to help him check on Tescon's involvement in illegal activity for him.
"Big Boss, are you sure we can't just kidnap this fellow?" asked Brother Gou in a low voice next to Jiang Ning.
He didn't understand why they had to go through so much trouble. It was just one man, so why couldn't they just kidnap him? That was a faster and simpler method.
Jiang Ning glared at Brother Gou. This fellow had been led astray by Fei and he started talking about kidnapping too.
"He still has a wife, so unless he can ensure his wife's safety, he's never leaving this place even if he has to die," snapped Jiang Ning in annoyance. "Didn't the Legend of Shengcheng teach you anything about grasping the main point of any problem at hand?”
Brother Gou blinked and nodded. "I think she did, but I forgot."
Jiang Ning shook his head and couldn't be bothered with him.
He walked into the kitchen, removed his cap, changed out of the uniform and left with Brother Gou.
Meanwhile.
Luo Lin came home to find his wife watching TV on the sofa. This was her only entertainment.
She immediately stood up when she heard the door.
"You're home!"
Tve bought you cake," said Luo Lin with a smile. "Go wash your hands."
His wife was as excited as a child, as if this was the thing she looked forward to all day.
She ran off to wash her hands while Luo Lin opened the box to see a note inside.
He could feel his heart pound wildly!
