At 4:30 p.m., He Ao returned to the Forest Bar.

This time, the doorman didn't lead him through the door with the hydraulic rod on top. Instead, he led him deeper into the bar, through a few turns, and through a small door into the circular hall he had seen that morning.

The remains in the hall had been cleaned up, and Hai Xi was standing in the middle of the hall, carrying a black briefcase, waiting for He Ao.

She watched as He Ao walked over, unlocked the automatic lock on the suitcase, opened it, and showed He Ao the contents inside.

It was a folded men's suit.

“I had a stylist make these for you. Try them on to see if they fit,” Hai Xi said, looking at He Ao. “Attending this kind of banquet requires a high level of sophistication. We can’t let it look like we haven’t prepared.”

He Ao glanced at the dress, his gaze settling on Hai Xi's wine-red eyes.

A certain brilliance always emanated from those beautiful eyes.

These should be a pair of prosthetic eyes.

Hesy hadn't actually measured Heo's body size, but she was able to have clothes made for him, proving that she had a way of determining the size without cutting, and most prosthetic eyes come with this simple size measurement function.

"Thanks,"

He Ao didn't stand on ceremony; he took the box directly and looked around. "Is there a changing room nearby?"

Jess has his own evening suit, but there are probably sentries everywhere around Jess's house now, so Heo can't go back either.

However, an evening gown is indeed required for attending a banquet. If Hai Xi doesn't have one, He Ao will buy one on the street that's barely acceptable and wear it.

"You come with me."

Hai Xi led He Ao to her office, where there was a separate restroom at the back of the office. "I usually change my clothes here," she said.

"it is good."

He Ao nodded, picked up his suitcase, opened the door to the bathroom, and went inside.

He quickly took off his coat and hung it on a hook, then began to remove his blood-stained underwear.

As the underwear was removed, a silver pendant stained with blood was revealed.

He reached out and wiped the blood off the pendant, then opened it.

This pendant is similar in style to a pocket watch with a cover, and it can be opened horizontally. There is a small photo embedded on each of the left and right sides of the inside of the pendant.

The photo on the left shows a refined elderly couple; these are Jess's parents.

The photo on the right shows a woman wearing glasses, with a gentle face and a happy smile; this is Jess's wife, Tini.

He closed the pendant, quickly changed into his evening gown, and stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom.

This evening gown is clearly the work of a master stylist; all the sizes and proportions are just right, and it perfectly accentuates Jess's refined and approachable demeanor.

He opened the bathroom door and went out.

Hai Xi, standing outside the door, brightened up and laughed, "Enwitt wasn't exaggerating."

"Enwitt?"

He Ao looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"A grumpy old man who claims to be the best tailor in all of Westland."

Hai Xi smiled, gazing at He Ao, who stood tall and straight in front of her, "At least his outfit is quite well-designed."

He Ao nodded in agreement.

Vian received a complete aesthetic education, and He Ao, who inherited Vian's memories, also has a basic aesthetic sense. Judging from the clothing design alone, this dress is indeed very well designed.

"wait for me a while."

Hai Xi picked up another suitcase from the table next to her, waved to He Ao, and went into the restroom.

About ten minutes later, she came out of the bathroom.

A beautiful woman wearing a black, deep-V mermaid dress made of tulle appeared before He Ao.

This dress was clearly custom-made for Hai Xi. The characteristic of a mermaid dress is that it is cinched at the waist and near the knees, which perfectly outlines Hai Xi's slender waist, full hips, and plump thighs.

Combined with her burgundy short hair and snow-white skin, she exudes a blend of heroic spirit and allure.

"Your dress..."

He Ao looked the mermaid dress up and down, then frowned slightly.

While this dress is undeniably beautiful, it falls short in terms of practicality. After all, they might encounter danger, and wearing such a mermaid dress would make movement extremely inconvenient.

Hai Xi smiled at He Ao, then unfastened the clasp hidden in the folds of her skirt, instantly separating the tight mermaid skirt into two flared trousers with tassels.

Hai Xi's temperament has also completely transformed from charming to heroic.

"OK."

He Ao nodded slightly.

"Then we should probably get going."

Hashika fastened the buckle, turning her bell-bottoms back into a mermaid skirt, and laughed.

Huiermei Medical Building

Unlike other major conglomerates in Whitland that have their headquarters in the St. Rothschild district to the east of Whitland, the Whitland Medical Center stands in North Whitland, the oldest district in Whitland.

This building is adjacent to Whitland University, and three kilometers to the north in a straight line is the Whitland City Council Building.

Although the Huierme Medical Consortium can only barely rank among the top 20 in terms of market value among all consortia in the Federation, it is one of the oldest consortia in the entire Federation.

The Whelm Medical Foundation was established almost as soon as the city of Whitland was built, back when it was still the original Federation era, before the Federation was even established.

Many conglomerates that coexisted with Wyrm Medical eventually disappeared into the dustbin of history. Only Wyrm Medical not only survived the centuries that followed, but also grew into a behemoth that spread throughout the entire Federation.

The sleek, black sports car drove into the underground parking lot of the Huiermei Medical Building. Guided by the intelligent parking assistant, He Ao parked the car near the entrance/exit.

This sports car belongs to Hai Xi, but because Hai Xi was wearing a skirt and it wasn't convenient for her to keep opening and closing the buckles, He Ao took on the role of driver as well.

The two got out of the car, closed the door, and with the sound of the electronic lock automatically locking, He Ao saw one luxury car after another drive into the underground parking lot.

"The banquet is on the 39th floor, where there is a dedicated banquet hall."

Hai Xi led He Ao to the elevator next to her. "The elevators in this underground parking lot usually go directly to the 39th floor."

Does this building have research and development areas?

He Ao was carrying a

He carried a suitcase and followed Hai Xi into the elevator, glancing at the buttons inside.

“Those areas are classified,” Hai Xi pressed the button for the 39th floor. As the elevator ascended, she glanced at He Ao. “Normally, we’re not allowed in. Do you want to take a look?”

"I have several students who work in this building."

He Ao shook his head and smiled.

Before joining the Mysterious Man's project, Jess was a rising academic star in the industry and had mentored many students.

Moreover, these students are all of good overall quality, and after graduation they generally go on to work for large biotech companies or medical conglomerates.

"student?"

Hai Xi was taken aback.

She had witnessed He Ao's killing prowess firsthand: decisive, swift, and ruthless, more like a professional killer than a teacher.

However, looking at He Ao's calm and refined appearance, she suddenly felt that it was not surprising that He Ao was a teacher.

Many professional assassins disguise their identities using relatively ordinary professions.

Perhaps the 'Jess' in front of us is actually a teacher at a primary or secondary school.

Strictly speaking, he has only met He Ao for the second time now and doesn't know He Ao well.

She looked at He Ao and asked with a smile, "What subject do you teach?"

"Hmm?" He Ao glanced at her and pondered, "Biology."

"That's true, after all, it's a medical conglomerate,"

Hai Xi nodded, glancing at the constantly changing floor numbers above her head.

"Huerme's research area is on floors 30 to 38, but these floors have strict security measures and are generally inaccessible. However, it seems that there will be a research staff member explaining the process at tonight's banquet, and you may meet your students there."

Ding--

As Hai Xi finished speaking, the elevator arrived at the 39th floor, and the elevator doors slowly opened.

The first thing that catches He Ao's eye is a huge floor-to-ceiling electronic screen, covered by a minimalist poster.

For the Children and the Future

[Huimei Charity Foundation Children's Special Charity Gala]

Next to the electronic screen was a security checkpoint. Two young men dressed in all black and in sharp suits were standing at the entrance of the security checkpoint, using a security screening device to check all the guests attending the banquet.

Next to the security checkpoint is a smart locker.

The locker's display shows lines of text instructing guests that if they have items that are inconvenient to go through security, they can store them in the locker.

He Ao walked over with his suitcase and deposited it in the storage box.

There wasn't anything special in the briefcase, just two powerful pistols capable of harming D-class superhumans.

He didn't bring the alloy dagger with him; he left it in the car. A dagger of that size would definitely not pass security, and if he put it in the safe, he wouldn't be able to retrieve it in the event of a conflict with the Huierme Group. So he left the dagger in the car.

However, killing someone doesn't necessarily require a special weapon; dinner parties usually provide convenient knives and forks for eating.

Of course, He Ao is a law-abiding person, and he would not intentionally turn tableware into dangerous items.

After checking their suitcases, He Ao and Hai Xi walked together toward the security checkpoint.

Two

The person passed through security easily and walked along the security lane towards the banquet hall.

"Miss Haixi."

Just then, a soft shout came from behind.
