66 EVERYTHING CLICKED INTO PLACE

After the shower and a change of clothes, Hu Lei felt much better. Shortly afterwards, she heard a knock on the door. She felt her heart beat in anticipation at the thought of seeing her father. She had literary been around the world in search of him, so she was understandably excited. She hoped that the lab had not treated him poorly.

Outside her door was one of the private military men. He looked ordinary without a distinguishing feature. He was medium height, average-bodied and his face would disappear in a crowd. He nodded at Hu Lei without hostility or friendliness.

Hu Lei did not mind. She knew that these people would not be nice or mean. From Helen Brown's attitude, it was clear that she kept them on a tight leash. Knowing her circumstances, she also did not try to ingratiate herself. Her only focus needed to be her father.
