One had to know that Yang Liu was in charge of intelligence collection. She frequented clubhouses a lot. She was very enthusiastic about these things.
No one in Bright Gate could beat her.
Qiao Nian, who looked to be an ordinary girl, actually dared to let Yang Liu go first. No matter what, in the eyes of the people from Bright Gate, Qiao Nian's actions were very typical of a young girl who knew no fear.
"Alright." Seeing that the girl insisted on letting her go first, the corners of Yang Liu's mouth twitched. Her eyes drifted in Ye w.a.n.gchuan's direction as she said in a sour tone, "Since it's a game, there must be a prize. Otherwise, it's meaningless to play. Let's talk about the bet first."
Qiao Nian nodded knowingly. She looked around, her gaze landing on the "culprit" standing beside her. "If I lose, I'll lend my boyfriend to you for a day. If you lose… Hmm? Let me think about it."
Yang Liu did not expect her to be so straightforward. She was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "You can deal with me if I lose."
"Okay." Qiao Nian raised her hand calmly. "Let's begin."

On the other side, Feng Yu and the others were preparing to leave.
Cao Yanhua, Xu Yi, and the others left first. After Feng Yu and s.h.i.+ Fu sent them off, they returned and asked Zhou Zhou, "Are you going home or to the research inst.i.tute?"
Zhou Zhou looked at the time. "It's past nine. I'll go straight home."
Feng Yu nodded and asked s.h.i.+ Fu, "You'll send her back?"
s.h.i.+ Fu was worried that Zhou Zhou, a young woman, would go home alone, so he did not refuse. He picked up his jacket from the table and said to Zhou Zhou, "Let's go. I'll send you off."
"Deputy Director, there's no need to go through so much trouble." Zhou Zhou wanted to refuse.
At this moment, Gu San stood up and took the initiative to say, "Deputy Director, I'll send Leader Zhou back. Go back and rest early."
Compared to s.h.i.+ Fu and Gu San, Zhou Zhou felt that compared to the old Deputy Director, Gu San, who was of the same age as her, seemed much easier to get along with. She touched the bridge of her nose and took the initiative to say, "Deputy Director, he can send me back. You and the dean go back and rest early. I'll send you a message when I arrive home."
s.h.i.+ Fu looked at Gu San and then at Zhou Zhou, who had stood up. He thought they had an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p and did not insist. He said to Feng Yu, "Then, I'll leave first."
"Let's go back."
Feng Yu waved at him.
Gu San also picked up his car keys and asked Zhou Zhou to follow him.
Only Feng Yu and Qin Si were left in the private room on the top floor.
At this moment, Qin Si stood up and took the initiative to say, "Elder Feng, let me send you back."
Feng Yu looked at the door. Qiao Nian was not back yet. He hesitated for a moment and felt that it was too late, so he did not resist. "Alright."
Feng Yu's cell phone lit up just as Qin Si walked out of the door. It was a call from Gu Hengbo.
Feng Yu frowned. Considering that they had known each other for 20 years, he accepted the call. "h.e.l.lo."
There was nothing unusual on Gu Hengbo's end. He said very calmly, "Dean, I'm at your door. I have something to ask you about the research inst.i.tute."
Feng Yu guessed that he was talking about his resignation and looked up at the sky outside.
The weather in the independent continent was very good today. Feng Yu felt the night wind on his face as soon as he came out. He looked up at the stars in the sky and could tell that tomorrow would also be a good day.
His tense mind relaxed a little. He did not make things too difficult for the other party and only said, "I'm outside. I'll be back in half an hour."
