"So early?"
When Qiao Nian heard that he was going back, she pulled herself out of her thoughts and asked him.
Seeing that she finally focused her attention on him, Lu Zhi felt a little better and said, "Tianchen has something that I need to go back to take care of."
Qiao Nian probably thought so too, so he hummed and said, "I'll take you there tomorrow morning."
Lu Zhi raised the corners of his mouth, and his mood became completely brighter.
He also reminded the girl: "Remember what you promised me, to like my Moments every day."
Mo Dong called again.
Qiao Nian raised her hand towards him, left him with a cold and irritable back, and left.
Lu Zhi watched the girl leave for a long time before he lowered his head and made a call on his cell phone.
The phone number is hidden.
The actual number is not shown.
It took Lu Zhi a full minute to make the call before the other end answered, but there was no sound from the other end.
All I heard was Lu Zhi's low voice with a half-smile, "Listen, I don't care what you want to do, don't cross my bottom line! You know where my bottom line is."

After Qiao Nian returned to the villa, he went to his room to take a shower first.
Then he turned on the computer, logged into his account, typed Martin's name into the black market search bar, and pressed Enter.
Hundreds of messages quickly popped up on the screen.
Qiao Nian pulled out a chair and sat down, scrolling down with the mouse, filtering the information one by one.
Until the mouse moves to the third page.
She finally saw some useful news.
[The Martin family has invested tens of billions to support scientific research institutions and recruit talents. ]
Qiao Nian stared at the message for a while, then picked up the phone that was charging on the table, walked to the window and called Feng Yu.
It was already around ten o'clock in the evening, and Feng Yu had already prepared to rest.
Qiao Nian's phone call just happened to wake him up, but he didn't get angry. After answering the call, he asked gently, "What's wrong? Why are you calling me so late? Did something happen to you?"
Qiao Nian's eyes were still fixed on the news on the computer that he had found from a black market search. The source of the news was unknown and it had been almost 20 years.
The time point of 20 years is very ambiguous.
Ji Qing also disappeared and died for unknown reasons 20 years ago.
Qiao Nian held the phone tightly, lowered his eyes, and asked him directly: "I heard that the Martin family once spent tens of billions to support a scientific research institute. This research institute is the First Research Institute, right?"
"Where did you see this news?" Feng Yu woke up from his sleep and asked her immediately.
Qiao Nian leaned against the windowsill, looking at the star-studded night outside, feeling the cool night breeze brushing past his ears. He said lightly, "I found it on the black market."
"I saw Martin tonight."
Feng Yu was shocked: "You, did you meet Mr. Martin tonight?"
"Well, a friend introduced me to him. I looked him up when I came back and saw this news."
Feng Yu didn't hesitate, he immediately put on his coat and walked towards the study, saying, "Wait for me, I'll call you right away."
"Okay." Qiao Nian hung up the phone.
…
Feng Yu didn't let her wait too long.
ten minutes later.
Feng Yu called, but it was not an ordinary call, but a video call.
Qiao Nian clicked to confirm.
Feng Yu appeared in front of her. Looking at the furnishings in the room and the large row of bookcases behind the background, she could tell where Feng Yu was.
Feng Yu was only wearing thin pajamas, with a coat draped over his shoulders. His old face looked serious. He asked her concisely, "Are you investigating your mother's case?"
