Xu Yi wanted to stick his hand into his white coat, but he gave up halfway and hung it by his side. “l don’t know what his identity is among the reclusive families, and I haven’t asked. I only know that the people he sent to my side often mention the distribution of power among the reclusive families and some news that I haven’t heard of outside.’
Qiao Nian saw a flame hidden in his cold eyes and nodded. She did not ask further. “Mm, I understand.’
Xu Yi had an indescribable feeling in his heart upon seeing her turn around and prepare for the next experiment. He could not help but ask the girl with her back facing him, “A-Aren’t you going to ask me?”
Qiao Nian took the test tubes and turned around, then asked casually, “What should I ask you?”
Xu Yi watched as she busied herself with the preliminary preparations for the experiment, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He walked over and helped ready the reactor. He pursed his lips, and his hair slid down his brow bones. “You aren’t asking me, who are they? Did they ask me about you? What’s their goal?”
Qiao Nian had just placed the test tube on the rack. Hearing this, she tilted her head and smiled. “You already said that they came to look for you. Why are you asking me?”
Xu Yi frowned. “Of course, it’s because of you—”
Her reputation among the reclusive families was resounding.
He had heard from those people that she had fought the Empress head-on in Country M and escaped unscathed.
In their eyes, she was an anomaly. Those people all wanted to understand her.
Qiao Nian interrupted him. “I’m not worried.”
Xu Yi looked at her and opened his mouth, but ended up not saying anything.
“Because I don’t think you’ll tell them.” Qiao Nian saw through him and smiled.
She believed that Xu Yi would not betray her.
Of course, even if Xu Yi betrayed her, she could protect herself.
This was self-confidence.
Xu Yi did not say anything else. He picked up the notepad on the marble table and said calmly, “You’re doing the component experiment next, right?”
Seeing that he had thought it through, Qiao Nian did not continue the topic. Instead, she handed him the formula for the component experiment she got from Ji Qings USB drive. “Here, this is it.”
“Let me take a look.” Xu Yi took the draft paper and studied it.
Qiao Nian ignored him and returned her attention to what she was busy with.
On the other side.
Feng Yu received news from Martin that the Privy Council was going to vote on Qiao Nian’s recruitment.
After rushing to the office, the first thing he wanted to do was to call Qiao Nian over to discuss it.
Unexpectedly, before he could do so, he received a call from Ye Wangchuan before he could reach his office.
He hurriedly went out to fetch him.
The assistant was very surprised and quickly went to make two cups of floral tea upon seeing Feng Yu personally receiving a young man.
“Leave us alone.” Feng Yu raised his hand and gestured for him to go out.
“Yes, Dean.” The assistant glanced at the man and then silently left, closing the door on his way out.
When the office fell silent and only the two of them were left, Feng Yu could not sit still anymore. Uneasy, he asked, “Why are you here? Is it related to Nian Nian?”
Ye Wangchuan had been in the independent continent for nearly half a year, but he had never returned to the First Research Institute. He controlled the distance perfectly and was unwilling to be related to the research institute..
