Chapter 196: Offline Meeting

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After sending the message, Qin Ran threw the phone aside.

She took a piece of bread and looked at Gu Xichi.

Before she could say a word, Cheng Juan said from opposite her, “When will the results come out?”

A press release from the medical organization had already been issued.

A huge commotion had been stirred up in the medical world; there had never even been such a big scandal made by a celebrity on the Internet before.

“This evening, the first regenerated tissue catalytic mold will also come out.” Gu Xichi’s blank expression was full of spirits at the mention of this.

He sat next to Qin Ran and saw Cheng Juan staring at him blankly.

Gu Xichi paused and moved to the side again.

Jiang Dongye happened to be sitting next to Gu Xichi and was a little sleepy. However, when he saw Gu Xichi moving to the side, he also followed casually.

“Brother, there is a data you need to help me stabilize.” Gu Xichi thought for a while and looked up at Cheng Juan. “When I get back to Yun Cheng, I will head to where Teacher is.”

Cheng Juan reached out and took a glass of water. He responded blankly and didn’t speak.

Qin Ran took a bite of bread and was deep in thought. Yan Xi had looked for her last night and she didn’t reply to him immediately. Her main purpose here in Shanghai was to wait for Gu Xichi’s results.

Now that Gu Xichi’s results had yet to come out, she probably had time to meet Yan Xi.

After eating, Cheng Juan and Gu Xichi went to the third floor to sort out the final experimental results.

Lu Zhaoying had nothing to do after eating, so he looked down at the message Ouyang Wei had sent him, inviting him to play. After thinking about it, he went to sit in front of the computer in the corner of the hall.

“Qin Ran, Sun God, do you want to play?” Lu Zhaoying touched his ear stud and looked at Yang Fei.

Yang Fei sat up from the sofa and shook his head. “No, I have to get back to the team.”

Yang Fei didn’t continue to stay since Gu Xichi told him he was fine.

Cheng Mu took the key from the table and nodded. “I will send you out.”

“Okay.” Lu Zhaoying looked at Yang Fei regretfully and then sent him out.

When the two left, Qin Ran stared at Lu Zhaoying’s back while touching her chin and thinking for a moment. Then, she returned to her room on the second floor.

She looked down at her phone, but Yan Xi had not replied.

She turned on Gu Xichi’s computer and directly logged into her game account.

Downstairs, Lu Zhaoying sent Yang Fei out and then went back to play the game.

Today, neither Qin Ran nor Cheng Mu was here, and Jiang Dongye had followed both Gu Xichi and Cheng Juan to the third floor.

Lu Zhaoying and Ouyang Wei played as a duo. historical

“You’re the only one who has time today?” Ouyang Wei’s voice sounded gentle and polite.

“Yeah, the others have matters to attend to.” Lu Zhaoying controlled the card and followed behind Ouyang Wei. They didn’t cooperate well but still won ultimately.

Since the first time he played as a duo with Ouyang Wei, Lu Zhaoying already knew they didn’t have much chemistry.

He had lamented that Qin Ran played the supporting role very well.

But now that he knew the truth...

He exited after one round.

Ouyang Wei said, “I heard from Cheng Mu last time that you are all in Shanghai?”

“Yeah.” Lu Zhaoying originally wanted to start another round.

But he saw another red dot on the friend’s logo in the upper right corner of the game, so he went to click on it—

[OST, QR requested to add you as a friend]

Lu Zhaoying’s hand shook as he accepted the request.

“Wait a moment, I still have a friend coming.” Lu Zhaoying didn’t start immediately, but opened the friends’ page and invited Qin Ran to play as a trio with them.

Qin Ran rejected him.

Lu Zhaoying was thinking “Then why did you add me” when he saw a red dot in the mail area on the upper right corner of the game page.

Something came to mind and Lu Zhaoying stared at the mail closely.

His slender fingers moved the mouse slowly and he finally opened the email—

[You have received three cards from your friend, OST, QR.]

Lu Zhaoying’s hand shook as he opened the mail. Three God cards enlarged on the game interface, all lined up neatly.

In the game, Ouyang Wei waited for a long time and still didn’t see Lu Zhaoying’s friend.

She couldn’t help but ask softly, “Young Master Lu, is your friend still coming?”

“Oh,” Lu Zhaoying responded and finally returned to his senses after a long while. “Ouyang, I will not fight anymore. Let’s play another time.”

Then, he directly withdrew from the team.

On the other side of the computer, Ouyang Wei frowned at Lu Zhaoying’s attitude.

At Yan Xi’s MV shooting location.

He wasn’t the protagonist of the MV and only casually cooperated with a few shots for the plot.

The shooting location was a little secret, but even so, a few screams could be heard every so often, and some staff members would even scream excitedly in Yan Xi’s direction.

The people around Yan Xi were already used to this.

Yan Xi followed his staff for the shoot and the manager put his phone in his pocket.

When Yan Xi saw Qin Ran’s message, his hand shook.

This was Yan Xi’s private phone and the manager didn’t look at it.

It was already one o’clock when Yan Xi finished shooting. The agent handed a long down jacket to him.

“There should be no more shots anymore, the rest are of the two protagonists. If you’re in a hurry, we will be able to return to Beijing tonight...” The manager took out a book and explained to Yan Xi about the following schedules.

Because of the shoot, Yan Xi only wore a shirt and was slowly putting on his down jacket with his eyes low.

His slender fingers carefully pulled the zipper up.

He listened distractedly to the manager’s arrangement.

“Where’s my phone?” He suddenly remembered something and looked at the manager.

The manager glanced at the book and already remembered most of the schedule, so he closed the book and stuffed it directly into his pocket. Then, he took out the mobile phone and gave it to him.

He wasn’t surprised to know that Yan Xi was still waiting for Jiang Shanyi’s reply.

He handed a mask and a pair of sunglasses to Yan Xi.

While wearing the mask, Yan Xi clicked on the phone and saw a message on the lock screen page—

[Address.]

Yan Xi paused in shock.

He was probably frozen for two or three minutes.

He froze for so long that the manager thought something was wrong.

The manager on the side was waiting for Yan Xi to put on the mask, but when he saw that he remained unmoving for a long time, he couldn’t help but turn around and raise an eyebrow. “Yan Xi?”

“Ah,” Yan Xi responded and looked up at the manager. His dark eyes flashed brightly as he said, “The great master just asked for the address.”

Gu Xichi’s manor.

Cheng Juan finished several data specimens, and when he came down, he saw that Lu Zhaoying was alone while staring at the computer.

Cheng Juan just stood on the staircase and leaned back. His eyes swept past the hall and saw no trace of anyone else.

He raised his delicate brows and looked at Lu Zhaoying. “Where’s everyone?”

Needless to say, Lu Zhaoying knew that Cheng Juan was specifically asking about Qin Ran, not Cheng Mu or Yang Fei.

“Qin Ran went out to meet her friend, and Cheng Mu sent her.” Lu Zhaoying finally pulled his eyes away from the computer screen and turned to look at Cheng Juan. “Master Juan, does Qin Ran have other friends in Shanghai? She didn’t tell me when I asked and only said it was a friend. She was so secretive.”

She had also said she was meeting a friend last time.

And it turned out to be Gu Xichi.

He wondered who the friend this time was.

Lu Zhaoying wondered if it would be a friend of Gu Xichi’s level as well?

Hearing this, Cheng Juan took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth before glancing quietly at him.

Lu Zhaoying turned his head back inexplicably. “You can call Cheng Mu and ask him.”

On the other side, Cheng Mu drove the car and used the navigation on his phone to arrive at the address Qin Ran had sent.

After crossing a river, he arrived at the door of a quiet coffee shop.

Cheng Mu glanced at it quietly and thought it looked like a dating spot.

“Miss Qin, is this the right place?” He parked the car opposite and looked at Qin Ran through the rearview mirror.

Qin Ran was originally leaning against the window, but she sat upright when the car stopped and looked around. Then, she reached out to open the door and cleared her throat when she got out of the car.

She was wearing a white sweater and a black coat today. She reached out to pull the hat over to block the wind.

This place was rather secluded and it was also Monday, so there were not many people around.

Qin Ran walked to the waiter directly and paused before asking in a cold yet polite voice, “Hello, may I ask, where is room 12?”

Before long, Qin Ran stopped by the door of room 12, raised her hand, and knocked.
