“Yes, he was attacked. Our men arrived too late. He was dead by the time we arrived.”
Li QIngcang snickered. The situation was getting more interesting.
“Did you find out who the man opposite the building that night was?”
Li QIngcang remembered that the man had many opportunities to kill Li Bai that night, but he didn’t; he was waiting for them to arrive.
“No.”
He Yiyan explained, “I checked the area. The building belonged to a teacher and his wife. They had gone overseas for a holiday. The house was left in the care of a nanny. The nanny had been working for them since high school and was very trusted. She was unaware that someone had sneaked into the
room. There was a gun at the scene, but we could not find any fingerprints on it or anything else. The person must have cleaned up the place and left the gun as a declaration of war.”
Li QIngcang thought for a while. “Professor Xu has woken up, but he can neither speak nor move. If those people want to get their hands on the research results, they have to take it from me. I told Li Bai that I have the research results before he was released.”
He Yiyan shouted at Li Qingcang, “Li QIngcang, are you crazy? You are using yourself as bait?” How could he expose himself to danger?
“Not really. Professor Xu had already given me the research results before he jumped off the building.”
He Yiyan was deep in thought.
“What are your plans now?”
“TIl go back to the university to continue with Professor Xu’s research. Once the research is completed, it will benefit many people. Don’t worry. I will try and keep myself safe.”
Both of them continued to exchange news for a while.
Jing Zhichen, Yan Jun, and Qie Wenyang had finished their shower. They went over to join with the two men on the couch and continued chatting.
The servers had arrived with the food.
Li Qingcang split the food into two portions and took one portion upstairs for the girls.
“TIanxin, I’ve placed the food on the table outside the room.” Li Qingcang called out to Ye Tianxin.
Ye Tianxin blushed as she walked out of the room. Her face tuned even redder when she saw Li Qingcang.
“Qingcang, you should rest earlier.”
Li Qingcang nodded. I know you girls have a lot to catch up on, but don’t stay up too late. It’s not good for you.”
“Yes, I know. Good night.”
Li Qingcang gave Ye Tianxin a peck on her forehead.
“Good night.”
After Li Qingcang had left, Wei Weiwei sat beside Ye Tianxin.
“Tianxin, you are so capable. Captain Li is so gentle in front of you. You have him wrapped around your little finger. Why don’t you teach us a thing or two?”
“Ididn’t do anything.”
The girls started to tease Ye Tianxin. They asked about her relations.h.i.+p with Li Qingcang and how it had been progressing.
Ye Tianxin was too embarra.s.sed to share and just smiled coyly.
“Tianxin, it would be nice if you can join us at the military school. The 6 of us would have so much fun together!”
“That’s right Tianxin. I’m so happy tonight.”
Ye Tianxin hugged each of them tightly while a.s.suring them, “Although we are not always together, you are still my good friends. I am so grateful to all of you. Thank you for your friends.h.i.+p.”
She was indeed feeling very fortunate. She had gained many things that she never had in her past life. She Li Qingcang, her friends.h.i.+p with the girls and her kins.h.i.+p with her father, her mother, her grandma, her grandaunt, and cousin.
She felt very blessed right now, but she was also afraid. The happier she felt, the more scared she was. She always felt that joy might beget sorrow. Ye Tianxin was worried that bad things might happen to her and the people around her..
