Wen Nan stepped back from her, responded towards the door, then crouched down and picked up the high heel that Guan Ailin had kicked aside, holding her slender ankle and helped her put the shoe back on.
While Guan Ailin was busy tidying her clothes and skirt, Wen Nan had already stood up, quickly adjusted his rumpled clothes, and when Guan Ailin stepped forward and nodded at him, Wen Nan opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, a short boy immediately clutched his stomach, forcefully pushed away Wen Nan’s hand from the door, and rushed inside quickly.
He was about to unbuckle his belt with one hand and reached out to close the door, but instead of finding the lock, his hand touched the back of Wen Nan’s hand, which was still on the doorknob. The boy was startled, "You, you, classmate, let go, this is an emergency!"
9527: [Successfully contacted the target, unlocking target information for you——]
[Identity: Freshman in the Department of Mechanical Engineering]
[Introduction: Omitted.]
This was an ordinary NPC without even a character introduction.
Wen Nan calmly released the doorknob, stepped back, and politely apologized to the boy.
The boy slammed the door shut in a hurry, not even having the time to lock it, when sounds of "clang clang" immediately came from inside.
Wen Nan turned around helplessly and was about to leave when a store manager walked up, "If you both need anything else, I have a manager’s lounge behind the counter, it’s very quiet, with good soundproofing, do you want to move over there?"
Wen Nan was taken aback.
This manager, does he even hear what he is saying?
Customers come out of the restroom and he is suggesting they go to his lounge to continue? Are they going to take another dump there?
Seeing how Wen Nan was looking at him, the manager realized his slip of the tongue, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Just kidding."
Wen Nan bid farewell to him and took Guan Ailin to leave.
The manager wistfully watched their departing backs, "Leaving already? Remember to come back often~"
After leaving the milk tea shop, Wen Nan headed straight to the Life Sciences Institute building, settled Guan Ailin in the exhibition hall on the first floor, and went up to the second floor himself.
As he was searching the rows of laboratories for Wang Yajun’s name, he saw Hu Jiayao walking out of a room from afar.
Seeing Wen Nan, Hu Jiayao was slightly startled, then quickly lowered his head and walked over, stopping beside Wen Nan to whisper, "President."
Wen Nan glanced around, lowered his voice, and said, "It’s inconvenient here, go to the men’s room at the end of the corridor."
The two walked into the men’s room one after the other, locked the door, and then leaned side by side against the inside wall.
"From the cafeteria to our encounter just now, was there anything unusual?" Wen Nan asked straightforwardly.
Hu Jiayao shook his head, "The part where I went to the security office, there were too many people, I didn’t pay much attention, but I vaguely felt that there was someone wearing a mask in the crowd, who was always staring at me, kind of suspicious, but after Wu Qing led me to the Life Sciences Institute, I didn’t see anyone secretly following me anymore."
This indeed surprised Wen Nan somewhat.
It was an obvious move [Loyalist], and there were clearly at least three people keeping watch at the security office door, so why, once Hu Jiayao left the security office, when it was easier to follow him, did they stop?
Could it be because the task to find the refresh point was too time-sensitive, and they were forced to complete that task first?
Not having any leads on this matter for the time being, Wen Nan switched to another question he was more concerned about:
"When you seized the knife, did you touch the murderer’s wrist? Did it trigger any character information?"
Upon hearing Wen Nan’s question, Hu Jiayao’s face suddenly took on an odd expression, his gaze evasive, hesitating and stumbling.
