Ye Wangchuan waited outside for ten minutes. After replying a message, he looked up and saw the girl walking out of the institute's gate.
He put the phone away, straightened his legs, turned around and opened the car door.
Qiao Nian got into the car and fastened his seat belt. He was thinking about something the whole time and looked a little absent-minded.
Ye Wangchuan didn't ask her, but turned around and walked to the other side to get in the car, and handed her the drink he had bought for her: "Here, your lemon ice water."
Qiao Nian saw the drink suddenly enlarged in front of him, reached out to take it, turned the rim of the cup with his cold white hand, lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you."
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Ye Wangchuan started the car, put his hands on the steering wheel, raised his eyebrows and asked her: "Do you want to go home first or go to the hospital first?"
Qiao Nian thought for a moment, half-closed her eyes, and said with a determined look: "Go find Gu Hengbo, I have something to ask him."
*
In a private hospital in a remote corner of the Independent State.
Gu Hengbo, with a haggard face, was locked in one of the wards. Not only was he not allowed to go out, but there was someone who came in every day to bring him meals.
However, under the double blow of physical and mental suffering, he lost a lot of weight uncontrollably and looked more than ten years older.
Ever since Gu Hengbo disappeared from the city center a week ago, the Gu family has never given up looking for him.
The Gu family is not a big force in the Independent Continent. In the past, with the help of Gu Hengbo, they were able to get in touch with big forces like the Ji family, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and the Hacker Alliance.
Later, Gu Hengbo was expelled from the First Research Institute by Feng Yu, and the Gu family's status in the Independent Continent plummeted... They could no longer play with the top circles in the Independent Continent.
Also for this reason.
The Gu family looked around for people, but after searching for a long time, Gu Fan could only find Ji Zinyin for help.
So far, the Gu family has not found any information about Gu Hengbo, and has no idea that Gu Hengbo is still in the Independent Island, or even not far from them.
When Qiao Nian came.
Gu Hengbo just raised his eyelids slightly, and said calmly, "Why did you come to see me?"
"Take a look?" Qiao Nian dragged a chair over and sat over, threw the note in front of him, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for him to take a look.
Gu Hengbo couldn't figure out her thoughts. He picked up the note with doubt and looked down: "... Ji Ziyin is contacting people from the First Research Institute privately. It seems that she is setting up some kind of laboratory to go against the First Research Institute."
He read out the contents of the note word for word.
After Gu Hengbo finished reading, he was slightly stunned, but soon he figured out the key points, and his empty eyes began to focus on the light spot.
All his changes were seen by Qiao Nian.
Qiao Nian watched him throw the note away and put on a dead face, but she didn't get angry. She took the note back from him and threw it into the trash can in front of him.
She raised her eyes slightly, put her hands on the table, and said casually: "Tell me, what does Ji Ziyin want to do?"
“…” Gu Hengbo’s eyes flashed and he closed his mouth tightly, as if he didn’t want to continue chatting.
Qiao Nian raised her lips, tapped the table with her left hand, leaned back, looked at his reaction with her dark eyes, and chuckled: "You don't think Ji Ziyin will still care about you until now, do you?"
Gu Hengbo seemed to be irritated and his eyes suddenly fixed on her.
Qiao Nian let his fierce eyes stare at her, raised her cap with her hand, and revealed an extremely arrogant face: "You are no longer of any use to her."
