Chapter 1523

"Then take proper safety measures, okay? The pandemic is the real deal.I think a virus might have caused it."

Dominic thought for a moment and spoke.

"Yes, I think so too."

Nodding, Lily agreed.

"Also, I think it has something to do with the experiment in the lab."

"The lab you worked in?"

Taken aback, Dominic thought about the question he had put aside just now.

"Oh, yes, you don’t think that brat, Austin, is the person behind it, do you?"

He suddenly thought that Austin might be the culprit as he was messing with those plants in the laboratory.

Lily chuckled and palmed her head, shaking it.

"No! He's not up to the task.More accurately, I think he doesn’t know about it."

"As I expected!"

Dominic sighed in relief and also felt that his suspicion was ludicrous.

‘I know how capable Austin is.If he could truly create a virus so devastating to the world, I would have to hand it to him"

"Then what happened to him?"

Dominic sighed in relief again, thinking it must not be anything significant.

"He went missing.He wasn’t in the lab or his house, and no one could reach him.I tried to search for him in the research institute but got interrupted several times.I’m sure he should be in the building, but I have no idea where exactly."

"Why are you so certain that he’s inside the building? Perhaps he got kidnapped when he went out or got lost somewhere without a signal?"

Dominic thought about it and said, "I used to..."

Lily interrupted, "What happened to you last time was a different matter! Austin is obsessed with his experiment, and it's not unusual for him not to leave the lab for days.Besides, there truly is something wrong with the research institute.

"I suspect that he discovered something and has been contained.Furthermore, Professor Thompson’s traffic accident was too coincidental.Everything has to do with the research institute."

"Professor Thompson? That elderly man?"

Dominic shook his head in shock.

"It’s just a place to conduct experiments.Why does it sound like a dungeon filled with conspiracies?"

"you're right! I think they are trying to hide their conspiracies!" Lily nodded.

"Old man, only you can save Austin now."

"Me?"

Dominic pointed at his nose but missed her point.

"What has it got to do with me? You’re not asking an older man like me to look for him in the research institute, are you? What if I get imprisoned as well?"

He shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, I’m not going!"

"No, I need you to contact Austin’s parents and ask them to report it to the police! If the police get involved, perhaps things would be easier to handle," Lily said.

"Report it to the police? Why must they be the ones who report it to the police? Why can’t you do it?"

"I’m not the right person!"

Lily looked at him.

"People don’t regard me as an ordinary person in Kingsland since I’m related to the Russells.It’s best for Austin’s parents to go to the police themselves."

‘Austin’s parents are something else.Their son has gone missing for so long, yet they aren’t even alarmed.If not, I wouldn't need to remind them through Dominic"

"Contact that couple again? No, no!"

Dominic shook his head vigorously and had no wish to deal with anyone else in the Fike family.
