Two hours passed quickly, and Scott, who had been lying dead on the sofa, quickly regained consciousness. He searched for food in the house before leaving with his bag on his back, presumably to return the suit he had stolen.
Scott, who had just left his apartment building with his bag on his back, was approached by two men. One of them was very burly and intimidating, causing Scott to instinctively move out of the way. However, the men seemed to be approaching him on purpose and stopped when Scott moved.
“Hey, man. Do you want something from me?” Feeling uneasy, Scott asked the men if they had any business with him.
After his strange experience earlier in the day, Scott was on edge and feared that someone might try to attack him for the suit in his bag. With a master’s degree in electrical engineering, he knew the suit must be valuable and technologically advanced.
As a precaution, Scott put his right hand and foot in his pockets and discreetly sent a message to Luis upstairs. If the two men in front of him were hostile, Scott felt he might not be able to handle them alone.
“Scott, don’t be nervous, we have no bad intentions.” Hearing Scott’s words, and seeing his little movements, one of the two who stopped him took a step forward and said.
Scott could hear the voice of the speaker was that of a young man. Under the street lights outside the apartment building, he was able to make out the appearance of the person who spoke. He noticed that the young man was quite handsome, possibly of mixed race. However, the other person, a burly man wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled down, was not as clear to Scott’s vision.
Scott quickly realized that the two people who had stopped him were Lin Rui and Bucky. He remembered the mission Luis had heard about earlier in the day, which was released by Lin Rui, who had also spent a lot of money and energy to plan it.
However, Scott was not easily fooled. He thought that if Lin Rui had truly wanted to talk to him, he would have used the mission as an opportunity to do so.
“You know my name, yet you still stopped me here and claim to have no bad intentions,” Scott said, his voice filled with suspicion as he looked at the young man smiling in front of him. He remained vigilant and continued to question them.
“If I really had bad intentions towards you, I would have interrupted you when you sent Luis a message just now,” Lin Rui said in response to Scott’s suspicion.
Scott was taken aback by this revelation and realized that the other party had been aware of his actions.
“We’re just here to remind you that the battle suit in your bag is very important and it’s normal for you not to want to be involved. However, if you return it now, you will be taken to the bureau tonight,” Lin Rui continued. “The owner of this suit will not let you get away so easily.”
Scott’s face changed as Lin Rui mentioned the battle suit in his bag. Only he and the voice in the helmet knew about the suit. Since the other party knew about its function, he must have known about the suit’s existence.

“How do you know?!…” Scott asked in shock.
“If you want to know more, I suggest you come with us for a walk. If you don’t want to, you can return the suit now. However, I will not be responsible for anything that happens to you afterward,” Lin Rui said without answering Scott’s question.
Without hesitation, Lin Rui turned around and walked out into the dark night with Bucky. Scott watched them leave, his eyes blinking several times before he gritted his teeth and decided to follow.
Da Da Da!
Not long after Scott followed Lin Rui and Bucky into the night, there were sounds of hurried footsteps in the apartment building as Luis and his two friends came out. However, Scott was nowhere to be found.
“Scott!!” Luis shouted Scott’s name loudly, looking out into the vast night, but there was no response.
After calling out to no avail, Luis quickly took out his mobile phone and tried calling Scott, but the call wouldn’t go through. Worrying for Scott’s safety, Luis and his two friends set out to search for him separately throughout the night.
Brush~
As Luis and his friends stepped out of the apartment building, on the edge of a flowerbed next to the building, a small mechanical spider blinked its red lights a few times. In a quick motion, it lifted its eight legs and vanished into the flowerbed.
…
As Lin Rui and Bucky blocked Scott at the door and took him away, in the underground secret room of Dr. Pym’s villa, he was staring at a display wall with ten monitoring screens with a suspicious look on his face.
“Who are these two guys who appeared out of nowhere? From what they said, it seems like they know me well. Could it be… were they sent by Darren?!” Dr. Pym muttered to himself as he scanned through the dozens of monitoring screens, feeling deeply puzzled by this.
Dr. Pym had observed the scene where Lin Rui and Bucky blocked Scott at the gate of the apartment building and then took him away through the small mechanical spider he had placed near Scott and had heard their conversation. It was specifically because of what Lin Rui had said that Dr. Pym was particularly puzzled and surprised.
Dr. Pym’s plan against Scott this time, only his daughter Hope knew about it besides him, and it was impossible for Hope to betray her father. So, who were those two who took Scott away? Could anyone else have done something like this besides Darren?
“It’s time to send Team 233 to check it out!” After muttering to himself, Dr. Pym decisively sent a team of twelve small flying insects to chase Lin Rui and the others in the direction they had disappeared.
However, as the flying insect team flew forward for a certain distance, it stopped. This was because the mechanical ant that Dr. Pym had secretly placed on Scott for positioning had suddenly lost contact.
Dr. Pym, who was controlling these insects in the background, looked at the red dot that disappeared on the monitor screen with an ugly face, but he could only let the flying insect machines continue to fly over and check. When they reached the place where the signal disappeared, Scott and the others were nowhere to be found.
