2361 Sister Nian Finally Found What She Was Looking For!
At first, Qiao Nian could not find any clues related to Ji Qing. It was not until she flipped through a laboratory record book that she found a form that Ji Qing had left behind to record the experimental project.
Qiao Nian took out the form from her notebook and sized it up through the incandescent light in the archive room.
This page of experimental records was very similar to the one Feng Yu showed her, except that the time recorded was different.
The two pages of paper looked like an ordinary or even useless application record written before the experiment.
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and looked at the light for a long time. Finally, she realized what was wrong with it!
The seemingly ordinary numbers and characters were connected together—it was Morse code!
Moreover, she had seen this style of Morse code once.
It was the same as the Morse code that Ji Qing had left behind in the black box of the plane that Ye w.a.n.gchuan found.
… This was a clue that Ji Qing had deliberately left behind.
She might have known that someone would clean up all the traces she left in the First Research Inst.i.tute, so she especially sandwiched this inconspicuous daily experiment record form in the record book in the archives room and waited for the day it was discovered.
This was because ordinary people could not understand the encrypted words on it at all.
Ji Qing was not afraid of being discovered.
Ordinary people would only think that this paper was an experimental application form that others had missed.
Qiao Nian immediately narrowed her eyes upon realizing this. She carefully put away the experimental application form sandwiched between the inner pages of the folded page. With a serious expression, she placed it in her bag and zipped it up.
At this moment, Ye w.a.n.gchuan called.
Qiao Nian saw the phone screen light up on the table from the corner of the eye. After sorting out all the information on the table and stacking them neatly to the side, she picked up the phone. “h.e.l.lo.”
“Still busy?” The man’s voice was charming.
Qiao Nian picked up her bag absent-mindedly. “Yes, I’m almost done.”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan seemed to think for a moment and then asked, “Ye Shan wants to treat you to a meal. Are you going?”
Who… was Ye Shan?
Qiao Nian’s mind was filled with the Morse code Ji Qing left behind. She had to think for a long time before remembering who he was talking about. Then, she said without much interest, “She wants to treat me to a meal?”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan almost seemed to see the impatience lingering between the girl’s eyebrows. She was cold and impatient, but she still patiently talked to him.
The corners of his lips could not help but curl up as he casually said, “Yes. The Old Master personally spoke up against her. She probably lost too much face last time and wants to ease her relations.h.i.+p with you.”
“Mm,” Qiao Nian replied casually. In fact, she did not listen much and was thinking about other things.
“By the way, the collaboration between the Ye family and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has been settled. The Old Master is quite happy and told me many times that he wants to thank you.” His tone was slightly teasing as he said in a low and tactful voice, “G.o.ddess Qiao, it looks like I’m a stable freeloader in everyone’s eyes…”
Qiao Nian finally registered what he said. She looked at the sky outside and prepared to leave. Pausing, she said, “No one will think you’re a freeloader if you tell them your hidden ident.i.ty.”
She was talking about Ye w.a.n.gchuan’s ident.i.ty as the leader of the independent continent’s Bright Gate.
