Guxi’s face was hot as she quickly opened the car door and got in.
Bo Xichen just stood there, smiling.
A moment later, Guxi rolled down the car window. "I think you’re happier."
She waved. "See you tonight, Uncle."
Bo Xichen just stood there, watching quietly.
Feng Mian drifted over. "Can’t bear to part with the little one? Now that she’s grown up, she has her own things to be busy with. I truly sympathize with you."
Bo Xichen glanced at him sideways. "Aren’t you, the one without a girlfriend, more deserving of sympathy?"
That struck a nerve with Feng Mian.
Guxi didn’t drive to Qing University, but headed to another place instead: Bishui Yuntian.
The Bishui Yuntian project was located at the foot of the Qingcheng Mountains. The original plan was for a high-end villa complex. When the project began, the Gu family bought the entire mountainous area because the location was remote and the land was cheap.
In other words, that entire mountainous area was the site of the Bishui Yuntian project. It had now been sealed off by the court and cordoned off with police tape. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
Guxi parked her car at the foot of the mountain. After getting out, she silently gazed at the rolling mountain range for a while.
She had a premonition: her father’s car accident was related to Bishui Yuntian. And to the Qin family.
She walked into the mountainous area. It was desolate and uninhabited.
In the heart of the mountain range lay a huge lake. The water was very clear, its emerald green surface emitting a faint, mysterious glow.
Guxi crouched down and took out a few test strips to test the water.
She frowned slightly, then took a small bottle from her backpack and filled it with the water.
An hour later, she drove her car onto the Qing University campus.
After stopping the car, she called Principal Wang. "Seal off the lab. I need to run an experiment there."
Upon hearing this, Principal Wang was quite excited. "I’ll get on it immediately."
The Guild Leader is going to make a splash again! If she wins another award this time, it’ll be credited to Qing University. The thought alone was thrilling! Cooperation, full cooperation!
Guxi got out of the car and headed for the laboratory building.
Today, she wasn’t wearing her white school uniform but rather black casual trousers and a brown turtleneck sweater.
As she walked, countless students turned to stare at her. Guxi, usually so aloof, reflexively touched her neck. I have to remind Bo Xichen he can’t do that again!
Guxi stayed in the laboratory building all day, not emerging until five in the afternoon. Finally, she poured about 50 ml of a pale green liquid from a beaker.
Jing! Very pure Jing!
Guxi poured it into an even smaller bottle, casually slipped it into her bag, and walked out of the laboratory.
Just as she came downstairs, Principal Wang and the department head were standing there, their faces beaming with benevolent smiles.
Surprisingly, Professor Gao was there too.
Professor Gao’s expression was also quite strained, as if he had been forced to swallow something bitter.
Principal Wang spoke first. "Anxi, Professor Gao would like to speak with you, perhaps share a meal and discuss painting techniques."
Professor Gao said sincerely, "Actually, I want to ask for your guidance."
Guxi touched her nose. "Oh, is that so? I’m afraid I don’t have time today. Perhaps another day, Professor Gao?"
Professor Gao had been quite worried about being rejected and losing face. He was surprised to find Guxi so agreeable and immediately showered her with praise.
Then, Guxi suddenly added, "By the way, my mother recently sent over some of my old sketches. They were drawn with my left hand. If you don’t mind, Professor Gao, I can give you a couple of them."
Professor Gao was instantly dumbfounded.
