This one took nearly 2 hours.
It was almost 11 o'clock when Qiao Nian came out of the laboratory, and Master Cheng had not returned yet.
Qiao Nian had to rush to Ye Lan's lunch and couldn't stay to wait for him to come back, so she had to ask Jiang Tianzhi to wait for Master Cheng to come back and tell her.
Jiang Tianzhi was still immersed in the several loopholes that Qiao Nian had pointed out to him before. Hearing this, he agreed and sent them out again.
Only after Qiao Nian called him back did he hurried to the laboratory, anxious to review what Qiao Nian had said.
…
"Where do you think Master Cheng will go?" Qiao Nian stood next to the car and suddenly said something without any context.
"Didn't Jiang Tianzhi say that? He went out with Mr. Nie." Ye Wangchuan was not angry even after waiting outside for two hours. He opened the car door for the girl from behind.
Qiao Nian leaned against the car door with his arms around his chest, but he didn't go in. "I just think it's a bit weird."
Ye Wangchuan raised his eyebrows: "Master Cheng and Old Nie have been friends for many years. What's so strange about them going out together?"
"Hmm." Qiao Nian looked lazy, quiet and focused, looking at him with dark eyes: "I'm surprised that Mr. Nie would drive over to pick me up."
"?"
"Jiang Tianzhi said he saw Mr. Nie drive to the lab to pick someone up." Qiao Nianshi tilted his head slightly, "But from what I've known about him for many years, he's a very lazy person. Even if he wants to go out, he usually takes the subway or a taxi. He rarely drives himself."
Ye Wangchuan restrained his casual look, his eyes dimmed: "So you think something might have happened?"
Qiao Nian let go of his hand, put his hands in his pockets, and shook his head: "It's not that bad. This is Beijing City, it's not that easy to get into trouble."
"I think they were going to meet someone, but it was not convenient for me to know about this person, so Master Cheng didn't answer my call or reply to my message."
Ye Wangchuan's dark eyes met hers and he lightly touched his thin lips: "Hidden family?"
Qiao Nian's dark eyelashes slowly blinked down: "Do you remember what he said when we left Baishi Island?" Qiao Nian leaned against the side of the car casually, his figure was lazy, his head half turned away, and he said with a nonchalant look: "He knows what I want to do with the tungsten gold, and threatened me that he would do something to me if I continue my research."
She looked at Ye Wangchuan: "Is it possible that they couldn't find me, so they found Master Cheng?"
Ye Wangchuan did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he thought about it carefully and said to her, "I'll ask Zhang Yang to check their location."
…
at the same time.
A coffee shop in Beijing.
Nie Mi parked the car in a nearby parking space and took Master Cheng with him, pushing the door and entering the cafe.
In the coffee shop.
A lady had already ordered coffee and was drinking it while waiting for them to come.
"It's right there." Nie Mi saw him, turned his head and whispered to Master Cheng.
Master Cheng also saw the lady sitting by the window. He narrowed his eyes and felt his heart sink, but he still followed Nie Mi and walked over with an expressionless face.
When he got closer, he found that the other person was very young, in his early twenties, about the same age as Qiao Nian, and his appearance was also exceptionally outstanding.
Even her temperament is similar to Qiao Nian's.
At first glance, both of them are rational types, but the young lady in front of him is a little gentler, while Qiao Nian is more self-centered, and it is obvious that he is the kind of person who acts purely based on his personal mood.
When the man saw Nie Mi and Master Cheng approaching, he stood up very politely and introduced himself to the two of them: "Hello, Master Nie and Master Cheng, please allow me to introduce myself."
