Qiao Nian remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, so long that Ye Wangchuan had to hide the laziness in his brows and eyes, he was about to interrupt: "Grandpa Jiang sent me a message today to ask me to have dinner, do you want to go with him? He probably asked me to go out just as an excuse, maybe he missed you..."
Qiao Nian raised his eyelids slightly: "Where is it?"
"I haven't ordered yet." Ye Wangchuan said with a smile, intending to break the solemn atmosphere: "Anyway, the old man has made an appointment for tomorrow at noon, so you can take your time to choose. Is there anything you want to eat?"
Qiao Nian turned around and put the stack of drawings that Ye Wangchuan gave her on the table. She stretched her legs, her brows were tired, and she said casually, "I'm fine with anything."
"Then let's have Chinese food." Ye Wangchuan didn't force her to make the decision. He quickly proposed a plan and explained to her, "Grandpa Jiang is in poor health and can't eat anything too spicy or heavy. Chinese food is just right. There are many dishes that can meet the needs of different people."
Qiao Nian looked up at him, not understanding why he was explaining this to her. It was quite strange: "I know."
Ye Wangchuan put his bony fingers on his brow bone and explained with a dumb smile, "I thought you wanted to eat hot pot."
"… "
Qiao Nian paused for a second before turning the chair around and facing him: "I am also half a doctor... I am not that confused."
This time she didn't wait for Ye Wangchuan to speak. Her eyelashes drooped to hide the emotions in her eyes. Her expression became a little more serious. Her dark eyes were bottomless as she looked at him and said, "About Lu Zhi..."
She paused for a second here, as if thinking about what to say.
Ye Wangchuan was very graceful and did not interrupt her. He respected her opinion very much.
Qiao Nian paused for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "If he really comes here for this blueprint, I won't help him."
She has just finished looking over the drawings.
The huge creature on the blueprint Ye Wangchuan gave her was extremely exquisite. Even if she wanted to understand it thoroughly, it would probably take her several days.
She just took a quick look at it and roughly understood what it was.
Qiao Nian understood the importance of the things on the blueprint, so she understood why Ye Wangchuan was so serious about this matter and wanted to find out the traitor in the ninth institute...
"This thing is too powerful and cannot be spread out." Qiao Nian agreed with him on this point, his voice also deep.
Ye Wangchuan brought her a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid and handed it to the girl, then explained to her in an orderly manner: "The reason why Master Cheng and I want to study this thing is not to spread it... Sometimes owning a high-tech weapon is more powerful than owning anything else. We may never use it, but it needs to exist..."
"Niannian, do you understand what I mean?" He was not sure whether Qiao Nian could understand his considerations.
Qiao Nian understood his words immediately. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and only those with sufficient military power can have the corresponding right to speak.
No one will listen to a weak person.
So she understood what Ye Wangchuan meant by 'needing it but never using it'.
"Based on my understanding of him, he is very likely here for Master Cheng's blueprint. I don't know if there are any hidden families involved behind the scenes. At least for now, there is no sign of the hidden families and Nie Qingru..."
"Lu Zhi should not have joined forces with the hidden family." Ye Wangchuan glanced at her inconspicuously and saw that Qiao Nian did not realize the reason why Lu Zhi did not seek Nie Qingru to join forces.
