Xiao Qianxi nodded slightly. "That's right. On paper, Old Master Lu was in charge of the Circulator M model.

Xia Liang picked up the thread. "And then Old Master Lu retired, the new person in charge turned out to be a traitor, destroyed the prototype, and fled with the blueprints. The two assassins who tried to kill me that night were also from the Sanctuary."
