"Do you want me to come forward?" Ye Wangchuan asked after thinking about it.
Qiao Nian, however, was not interested: "Forget it, with Aunt Ye watching over them, they can't do anything wrong."
Ye Wangchuan also thought of Ye Lan, and said "hmm", and mentioned the lunch: "What time do you plan to go to Guanlan?"
"Aunt Ye made an appointment at twelve o'clock. Let me see." Qiao Nian looked to the side and saw that it was still early, so he pulled out a chair and stood up and said, "I'll go to Master Cheng first and give him something."
"I'll take you there." Ye Wangchuan took the car keys.
Qiao Nian did not refuse. Before leaving, she called Master Cheng, but no one answered the phone.
Qiao Nian edited another text message and sent it to him, telling him that she would come to see him later.
Then Qiao Nian put away his phone, put one hand in his pocket, pulled down his baseball cap with the other hand, lowered his eyes, and followed in a nonchalant manner.
…
When Qiao Nian arrived at Master Cheng's laboratory, he ran into Jiang Tianzhi.
"Ms. Qiao, you're here?" Jiang Tianzhi was familiar with Qiao Nian. When he saw Qiao Nian coming to the laboratory, an expression of surprise appeared on his rough face.
His eyes were mainly on the girl, and he couldn't wait to reach out and pull Qiao Nian over: "You've come at the right time, help me take a look..."
Before Jiang Tianzhi's hand touched the girl's clothes, it was separated by a slender white hand. When he looked up, he met Ye Wangchuan's deep and cold eyes.
"Ahem." Jiang Tianzhi quickly retracted his hand, coughed twice to ease the awkward atmosphere, and explained dryly: "I, I don't mean anything else. I just want Miss Qiao to help me look at this set of experimental results."
"Yeah." Ye Wangchuan responded arrogantly and lazily, but he still stood between the two of them unnoticed, not giving Jiang Tianzhi any chance to touch Qiao Nian.
Jiang Tianzhi was at a loss as to what to do.
I swear to God, he didn't have the guts to take advantage of Miss Qiao. He just tried to pull her away because he was so anxious that he forgot that Miss Qiao was a girl.
Who made Miss Qiao so much better at weapons manufacturing than most men? He really forgot that Miss Qiao was a woman.
Fortunately, at this time.
Qiao Nian broke the deadlock. "Master Cheng is not here?"
"Forehead?"
Jiang Tianzhi recovered from his embarrassment, patted his forehead, and said, "The teacher went out this morning and hasn't come back yet."
Qiao Nian frowned. He went out in the morning? She remembered that Master Cheng was a typical tech geek. Except for non-essential things, he might not go out for ten days or half a month.
She also heard from Bo Jingxing.
The longest time that Master Cheng stayed at home was as long as half a year, which means he never left Jiusuo for a whole six months, and he lived and ate in his own small piece of land.
Master Cheng is actually going out today
"He didn't say what he was going to do?" Qiao Nian asked.
"?" Jiang Tianzhi thought for a moment, looked at her hesitantly and said, "Maybe he is going to meet a friend? The teacher didn't say she was going out when she came in the morning. She only went out after receiving a phone call."
Just when Qiao Nian was worried about Master Cheng's safety, he quickly added, "By the way, Master Nie is also with the teacher."
Qiao Nian raised his eyes and looked over.
Jiang Tianzhi touched the back of his head and said, "Mr. Nie drove over to pick up the teachers this morning. I watched them leave."
“I see.”
When Qiao Nian heard that Nie Mi was also there, she felt relieved.
She looked at the time again and said to Ye Wangchuan, "I'll go help him with the experiment."
"OK."
Ye Wangchuan made way for her to pass.
Qiao Nian said to Jiang Tianzhi: "Let's go and take a look." (End of this chapter)
