"What!?"
His body reacted instinctively the moment he heard the news.
Shen Zueran strode after them, his voice calm and cold as he instructed Zhao Song,
"Keep her calm. Don't panic. I'll be right there."
"Yes, yes, Dean Shen. I'm talking to her right now."
The anxiety in Zhao Song's voice was palpable even through the comms screen.
He looked at Yu Lan, her delicate face cold and her resolve to leave firm. He felt as if his heart was about to shatter.
"Lanlan, Lanlan, I promise, what happened today was really just an accident."
"I really don't know why that guy from the Li Family suddenly went nuts today."
"Our lab would never force a researcher to get close to a madman against their will. Your safety is guaranteed."
"Besides, our lab is so short on females, we'd have to be insane to push you away."
