To prevent any further accidents, Professor He personally saw Xia Sanghuan into the car.
After getting home, the girl immediately locked herself in her room.
The amount of information she had received today was simply too overwhelming. She needed some quiet time to sort it out.
For some reason, based on Wei Linjun's reaction this afternoon, she suddenly thought of Xia Anying.
As far as she knew, after drugging Leng Chuanjin, Xia Anying had immediately tried to kill her.
Even if she was stupid, she wouldn't do such a thing.
Moreover, she didn't have the guts.
As she recalled the details of each incident, she jotted them down on paper.
However, there was still one thing that puzzled her.
Wei Linjun's behavior must have been because he knew she had seen his experimental data.
But how did he find out?
She thought for a moment, and a name suddenly flashed through her mind.
It could only be Shen Ya who had told him.
Why did she tell everyone everything?
The girl rubbed her temples with a headache.
But what was done was done. She couldn't blame her. After all, Shen Ya was just a stranger unrelated to this matter.
But a little warning was still necessary.
She picked up her phone and called Shen Ya.
"Hello, Xiaoya," she said, trying to soften her voice.
"What's up, classmate Xia Sanghuan?"
Shen Ya was still scared about what had happened at the Fernos College today. Hearing the girl's voice made her feel a bit more at ease.
"Did you talk to Professor Wei about me today?"
Hearing this, Shen Ya suddenly fell silent.
This silence was an admission.
"Can you tell me what you said to him?"
Shen Ya told her exactly what she had said to Wei Linjun.
After listening, Xia Sanghuan didn't say much. She patiently comforted Shen Ya and then hung up the phone.
That meant that even before he knew she had completely reproduced his pharmaceutical process, Wei Linjun still chose to warn her.
What was he in such a hurry for?
No, it should be said, what was he afraid of?
She always had a feeling that the actions of Xia Anying and Wei Linjun were not out of their own will but out of fear.
...
The appointed time soon arrived.
The girl hugged the Black-bone Spiritual Treasure in her arms and walked silently out of the research building.
"Sanghuan, where are you going?"
A male voice suddenly called out to her from behind.
"Hello, senior."
Xia Sanghuan recognized Jiang Zimo's voice and turned to look at him.
"What's wrong? You look so pale," Jiang Zimo said in surprise as he walked over.
"It's nothing," she said, holding the spiritual treasure a bit tighter. She had made a decision without telling anyone.
She hadn't slept well for a week because of this decision.
"Senior, I'm in a hurry. I have to go," she said and then turned away, not wanting to talk to him any more.
She got into the car arranged by the principal, and the driver slowly drove out of the school.
She took out her phone and looked at the route on the navigation.
The place appointed by the other party was far from the city center. It would take nearly three hours to drive there.
She simply closed her eyes and half - reclined on the seat, saving her energy for the upcoming plan.
She put the spiritual treasure in her bag and placed the bag behind her. She would definitely wake up if anyone touched her bag.
When they reached the destination, the driver dutifully woke her up.
"Miss, I'll wait for you here," he said as he helped her out of the car and then got back into the driver's seat.
Xia Sanghuan walked a few steps forward and looked up at the building in front of her.
It was a small office building.
The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain soon.
She walked into the office building and took the elevator according to the address given by the other party.
When she entered the meeting room, there were only two people sitting inside.
A man and a woman.
The woman seemed to be the man's assistant. She stood up first and walked over to shake hands with her.
"Hello, classmate Xia Sanghuan."
"Hello," the girl replied expressionlessly.
The woman stepped aside, revealing the man behind her.
"This is Mr. Yu. He is the expert representing our side to communicate with you."
The man called Mr. Yu had a formulaic smile on his face and walked up to her.
"Please have a seat, classmate Xia," he said politely, bowing slightly and leading her to a single - person sofa.
Throughout the process, these two people didn't show any aggression just because she was a child, which made her feel a little more relaxed.
After the three of them were seated, the woman picked up the remote control and pressed a button. A gap opened on the round platform in the middle, and a display stand slowly rose from it.
Then a beam of light shone on it.
"Classmate Xia, please put the Black - bone Spiritual Treasure you brought up on it."
Xia Sanghuan was silent for a moment.
As expected.
"Don't you know that the spiritual treasure can't be exposed to strong light?" she said as she stood up.
"It seems that you know nothing about the Black - bone Spiritual Treasure. Then this communication between us is completely unnecessary."
She said and was about to walk out, but was stopped by the man who chased after her.
"Classmate Xia, of course I know this," he said.
"But my assistant forgot this point, so this misunderstanding happened."
"Considering that she is not a professional, please forgive her."
He blocked the door tightly, leaving her no chance to get out.
The girl frowned and was forced to sit back in her seat.
"Then tell me what you know about the Black - bone Spiritual Treasure. If you pass, I will surely show the spiritual treasure," she said, still holding her bag tightly, not showing any sign of giving in.
The man changed his sitting posture to one of confidence and then began to talk eloquently.
The things he said were what Xia Sanghuan had already known from other sources.
Moreover...
These words sounded so familiar.
It was as if he was just repeating what her master had once said.
This realization made her heart sink.
After he finished speaking, he slightly lifted his chin and looked at the girl proudly.
"Have I passed the 'test' now, classmate Xia?"
The girl pursed her lips and didn't say a word.
"Classmate Xia, we submitted the application a long time ago. And the time and place of the meeting were also set by you," the man said.
"You're not going to back out now, are you?"
The man's voice suddenly turned cold.
Thunder rumbled outside the window. With a flash of lightning that was blinding, heavy rain started to pour down.
She hesitated for a moment and took out a wrapped package from her bag, handing it to the woman who walked up.
The moment the woman received the package, the girl saw a flash of excitement in her eyes.
The fish had taken the bait.
She watched as the woman walked step by step towards the display stand and began to unwrap the package that she had wrapped layer upon layer.
