Standing in place, Pan Mingyue sighed and only stepped forward when the ashes had dispersed.
She greeted Lou Yue and Song Luting.
Song Luting was recording the results of the experiment with a pen and paper. He had really been frightened by Lou Yue’s experiment yesterday but was fine now.
“Did my brother ask you to pick him up?” Lou Yue looked down at Cheng Ziyu in his arms and asked slowly.
Pan Mingyue nodded and quickly went to see Cheng Ziyu.
She and Second Uncle Lu had both been shocked by the loud sound just now. Cheng Ziyu was less than a year old, and she was really worried about his state.
But in the end, the little boy’s eyes were lazily opened, and he was looking at the “fireworks” set off by Lou Yue for him. His face was undulated, and he even looked a little bored.
Lou Yue reached out to tap his nose affectionately. “Godpa will take you out next time.”
He handed him over to Pan Mingyue and asked, “Lu Zhaoying didn’t come?”
“No, he’s in the first district.” Pan Mingyue carefully held Cheng Ziyu.
She couldn’t help but glance at Lou Yue again when he referred to himself as his godpa.
Many people had wanted to be the little boy’s godpa the moment he was born, but Qin Ran hadn’t agreed at that time and had only let He Chen.
Pan Mingyue hadn’t quite understood at that time, but now she finally knew how wise Qin Ran was.
If the little boy had such a fearless person like Lou Yue as his godpa, then no one knew how chaotic he would become in the future.
Lou Yue tilted his head and ordered, “Qing Lin, send them back.”
He was worried about letting Pan Mingyue go back alone.
Qing Lin nodded.
Lou Yue and Song Luting still had to conduct the next round of experiments, so Pan Mingyue left directly with Cheng Ziyu.
When they passed by Second Uncle Lu, who had been standing aside in a daze, Pan Mingyue looked up and said politely, “Can we go now?”
“Oh.” Returning to his senses, Second Uncle Lu looked away from the dispersing mushroom cloud. “Yes.”
His eyes turned to Qing Lin, who was following Pan Mingyue while holding an umbrella.
As Giant Crocodile’s confidant, Qing Lin was full of hostility and had sharp eyes. It was obvious based on his bloody aura that he had killed enemies on the battlefield before, so few people dared to look at him.
Second Uncle Lu trembled and immediately retracted his gaze, not daring to look more.
They walked out of the door.
As soon as they walked out, a voice called from behind, “Miss Mingyue.”
Pan Mingyue looked back and saw the base administrator chasing after her with a miserable expression. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at her. “Can you persuade Mr. Lou to leave? Forget about his experiment, but he’s even pulling Professor Song along. If anything happens to Professor Song…”
Pan Mingyue was a well-known figure in Beijing University, and most people knew her about her relationship with Qin Ran and Song Luting.
Glancing at the administrator, Pan Mingyue realized he looked much more haggard than the last time she saw him. She asked a little helplessly, “Where’s Sister Cheng? Have you informed her about this?”
“Don’t mention it,” the researcher beside spoke first. “The Cheng family knows that Mr. Lou has already left the city center and is making all sorts of noise, but they don’t dare to control him.”
Pan Mingyue: “…”
That said, it wasn’t the first time Cheng Wenru had approached her because of Giant Crocodile.
Just when Pan Mingyue was struggling to reply, Qing Lin said behind her, “Don’t worry, Mr. Cheng will be back in two days. This time, our boss is indeed going a little overboard. The base is full of talents, so Mr. Cheng and Miss Qin won’t leave him alone.”
The administrator knew who Qing Lin was, and he was immediately relieved and overjoyed to hear this. “Thank you, thank you. Then… when will Miss Qin come back?”
Seeing his humble attitude, Qing Lin also sighed inside, wondering how his boss had forced them to become like this. “Probably tomorrow morning.”
Only after receiving this answer did the administrator finally come alive.
His face lit up radiantly, and he even greeted Second Uncle Lu.
Second Uncle Lu responded apprehensively and then got into the car. He touched the steering wheel and sat with a straight back, aware of Qing Lin sitting beside him. He focused on driving and kept his eyes on the road.
Pan Mingyue was sitting in the back seat, looking down in distress at the sleeping boy. She didn’t know what Lou Yue had shown this little boy. He was still young and had enough sleep for the day.
As she was thinking, a message appeared on her phone—
[Can we talk seriously?]
It was an unknown number. Taken aback for a moment, she thought about it and realized it was Feng Ci.
She hadn’t blocked his number and had only deleted his name.
However, the number looked very unfamiliar at this time.
She stared at the number for a long time before replying—
[Sure.]
She wanted to settle things with him and the Feng family. Before, she hadn’t wanted to say more, not wanting to make things difficult for Feng Loucheng because of Madam Feng. She had been satisfied with just getting by, but she was different now.

After sending Pan Mingyue back, Second Uncle Lu went back to report the battle to the Lu family.
He ignored the elders and the core members of the Lu family and directly poured himself a glass of cold water.
“Second Lu, what’s the situation?” The patriarch couldn’t help but ask. “We haven’t received any news about the other quota. Is the Tong family reliable? How are our people?”
Second Uncle Lu only put down the cup and said simply, “Miss Pan is more terrifying.”
