Around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Qiao Nian's experimental reactor experiment today had just come out with the results, and it had failed again. She recalculated the experimental steps on a scrap paper, but couldn't find the mistake. She then glanced at her phone, which had been thrown aside, and saw a strange text message on it.
[Ms. Qiao, see you at the InterContinental Hotel at 5pm.]
She only glanced at it briefly.
The data analysis library on the computer has produced results.
Qiao Nian didn't reply to the message. He put the phone back and focused his attention on Ji Qing's last experiment again.

at the same time.
Ji Ziyin's residence.
Ji Xiao received a call and hurried back: "Mr. Lei is out."
"Yeah." The oval-faced woman didn't even raise her eyelids. She looked confident and had a plan in mind.
Ji Xiao felt uneasy seeing her like this. Seeing that Ji Ziyin was also about to go out, he asked her: "Ziyin, why do you want me to keep an eye on Lei Lao? What if he finds out? We..."
"If you had asked someone to be more careful, they wouldn't have been discovered!"
Ji Zinyin's outfit today is unusually cool, with a tight vest paired with a pure black inner wear, looking very capable.
What was a bit concerning was that she was holding a large bag that didn't match her outfit at all. The bag was bulging with stuff and no one knew what was inside.
Ji Xiao watched her start to change her shoes, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the bag she was about to take out: "Are you hiding something from me?"
Ji Zinyin had already put on short boots, picked up her bag, and stood up again.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be planning to answer him, Ji Xiao felt even more panicked, and he grabbed her hand and said, "What on earth are you going out for? Also, why did you ask me to keep an eye on Mr. Lei's every move since yesterday? Ziyin, what on earth do you want to do!"
Ji Ziyin shook off his hand impatiently: "There are some things that you'd better not know!" Ji Xiao felt even more uneasy after hearing her say that, and tried to stop her again: "Tell me first, what are you going to do now?"
Ji Zinyin looked at him straight in the eye, but her eyes had long been devoured by desire, leaving only ruthlessness and coldness.
Ji Xiao was almost frightened by her look.
Ji Ziyin pulled the corner of her mouth in disapproval, and said slowly: "You just need to know that we are grasshoppers tied to the same boat. If I don't have a good life, you won't have a good life either!"
Ji Xiao's heart suddenly dropped.
He vaguely realized what Ji Zinyin wanted to do, but as soon as this absurd idea came into his mind, Ji Xiao was so scared that he quickly denied it.
Ji Ziyin looked at her watch and didn't intend to waste any more time with him. Before leaving, she reminded him, "Remember to deal with the person who was following you."
Ji Xiao: “…”
His heart was beating fast, and he felt like something big was about to happen.
Seeing that he didn't answer her for a long time, Ji Ziyin looked at him straight and asked him impatiently: "Do you understand what I mean by 'clean it up'?"
Ji Xiao nodded reflexively under her gaze and said softly, "I understand."

4:30 in the afternoon.
Seeing that it was almost time, Qiao Nian sorted out the things in the laboratory, took his bag and cell phone, and prepared to meet Leonard at the place he had agreed to meet.
As she walked out of the laboratory, she saw a car waiting outside.
Qiao Nian walked straight towards the car.
When she walked to the front of the car and opened the door, she saw a person who surprised her: "Mr. Feng?"
