Feng Yu's face was as gloomy as water. He walked around the office and then went back. Standing in front of Shi Fu, he said in a deep voice, "I think her ambition is more than this. She not only wants to contact Martin, but also wants to contact the hidden family behind Martin."
Shi Fu looked up at him, not quite understanding the inner workings of the Ji family.
Feng Yu continued, "From what I understand, the Ji family has been clearly planning to give up on her since what happened two months ago. Perhaps because of this, she wants to find a more powerful backer than the Ji family."
"But how did she know about the hidden family and Martin?" Shi Fu couldn't help asking.
These are secrets in the Independent Continent, and only a very small number of people know about the absolute power hidden outside the Independent Continent.
Feng Yu didn't need to think too much to guess who Ji Ziyin was behind the scenes: "Gu Hengbo."
Shi Fu frowned, revealing a look of strong disgust: "Him?"
Feng Yu did not respond, and felt extremely disgusted with Gu Hengbo's behavior.
Shi Fu saw that he was silent, and suddenly remembered and asked him: "When will Qiao Nian come back? Have you told her about this?"
Shi Fu now knows Qiao Nian's life experience. He heard a little bit about it from Nan Tianyi, so he cares about Qiao Nian very much.
Feng Yu shook his head and pondered for a moment: "I haven't told her yet. She will come back today. Let's talk about it after she has a rest."
Shi Fu had no objection.
Feng Yu remembered something, looked up and said to him with a smile: "I plan to hold a welcoming party for her tonight, how about it, are you free? Let's go together?"
Shi Fu always disliked attending these private gatherings, but this time, he just thought about it for a moment and readily agreed: "What time? I'll pack up early this afternoon."
Feng Yu told him a time, and then said, "I haven't asked her if she has time in the evening. I'll let you know when I'm sure."
Shi Fu hummed, stood up and prepared to go back to the laboratory.
Feng Yu watched him leave, his eyes fell on the tablet he had thrown aside. He sighed, picked up his phone and went to make a call.

Qiao Nian went back to her room to put her things away when she arrived at the villa. She emptied her backpack, which contained only two sets of clothes, a laptop, and some small gadgets.
Qiao Nian put her clothes on the bedside table, then took her notebook to the desk and put it down. As for those small items, she threw them all into the drawer.
Just at this moment, Feng Yu called.
Qiao Nian looked at the caller ID, walked over, bent down, picked up the phone, and said casually: "Hello?"
Feng Yu told her about the welcoming banquet in the evening.
Qiao Nian frowned, looked at the laptop on the table, turned back to the desk, and was about to open the laptop to reject him.
After a second thought, he changed his mind: "Where tonight?"
Feng Yu reported a location.
Qiao Nian looked at the time and agreed.
She hung up the phone, turned around and leaned against the desk. Her legs wrapped in jeans were well-proportioned and straight, very eye-catching.
She lowered her head and opened WeChat again, finding the message Zhou Zhou sent her.
Qiao Nian stared at the message for a while, put the phone back in his pocket, put on his baseball cap and went downstairs.
In the living room downstairs.
Gu San and Qin Si were also packing things.
Qin Si was always lazy and careless. He threw the box back into the room and left it alone. He slumped on the sofa like a big shot. When he saw the girl coming down, he immediately stood up and greeted her: "Sister Qiao, are you done?"
