Gu Yi's eyes flickered with thought. He couldn't help but say after his grandfather finished speaking, "I heard from my grandfather that the Special Bureau is a mysterious and magical organization. He wouldn't tell me more than that, so I've always been fascinated by it."

"Meeting Miss Nan Qiao today has made me even more curious about that place."

Nan Qiao nodded. "The Special Bureau does have many advanced research resources and opportunities. If Brother Gu is interested, this is indeed a good choice."

"But I have to ask Uncle Zhao Gang for his opinion."

"Of course." Professor Gu and Gu Yi saw that this was promising, and their eyes were filled with excitement.

Nan Qiao looked at the expectant eyes of Professor Gu and Gu Yi, pondered for a moment, took out his cell phone, and dialed Zhao Gang's number.

There was a beeping sound on the other end of the phone, but no one answered.

Nan Qiao frowned slightly, thinking to herself that Zhao Gang might be busy with something important.

She put down her phone, looked up at Professor Gu and Gu Yi's expectant eyes, and said helplessly, "Maybe Uncle Zhao Gang is busy and no one answered the phone. I'll contact him later."

Professor Gu and Gu Yi immediately shrugged their shoulders, a flicker of disappointment in their eyes. Why is Zhao Gang like this? Can't he be more professional? He didn't even answer Miss Nan Qiao's call!

But they soon regained their composure. Professor Gu nodded, expressing his understanding. "It's okay. Director Zhao always has some free time."

"Yeah." Nan Qiao continued, "I'll go to the bathroom first."

After saying that, she stood up and left the private room.

After Nan Qiao left the private room, Professor Gu looked at Gu Yi with a serious expression. "Yier, you must be more respectful to Miss Nan Qiao from now on. You must put her and her feelings first in everything you do."

Gu Yi was slightly startled, his face full of confusion. "Grandpa, the Special Bureau is such a mysterious department. How could a little girl like her be able to make the decision on such a big thing as arranging for the research institute to enter the laboratory?"

Professor Gu gave an expression that said, "You don't understand this, do you?" and shook his head slightly. "Yier, she's just a little girl, and she really has the final say."

Gu Yi was even more puzzled and asked, "Why? Grandpa, please tell me."

Professor Gu was silent for a moment, looking deeply at the door of the private room, as if he saw Nan Qiao's figure through the door.

"Yier, don't underestimate Miss Nan Qiao. Her existence is crucial to the Special Bureau. As for the specific reasons, you will naturally understand after you go in."

"If I tell you too much now, you won't be able to understand."

Gu Yi frowned, lost in thought. His curiosity about Nan Qiao grew stronger, and he was filled with even greater anticipation and longing for the mysterious Special Bureau.

Nan Qiao came back from the bathroom and was about to walk into the private room, but unexpectedly ran into the Lan family at the corner.

She was slightly startled, her eyes instantly drawn to them.

Lan Yuchen was wearing a neat suit and had a gentle smile on his face.

His arm was tightly held by a pretty young girl, whose face was full of sweetness, as if immersed in happiness.

Lan Zhiming and Jiang Peishan chatted with the girl from time to time, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Lan Jingcheng and Lan Hanwen were not seen coming with them.

They no longer had the decadent and lonely look they had in the courtroom. They seemed to have been reborn and walked with a breeze.

Jiang Peishan was all smiles and her words were like a machine gun.

She held the girl's hand affectionately and said cheerfully, "Oh, you have no idea, your father is really amazing. He got a promotion recently and is now the second-in-command in Kyoto. We've never seen anyone get promoted so quickly."

"When there's a chance, you must invite your father to come home and meet the parents. Our two families must visit each other more often in the future."

After hearing this, the girl showed a shy and happy smile on her face and nodded slightly.

Lan Zhiming also smiled and echoed: "Yes, yes, we must get closer in the future."

Lan Yuchen smiled slightly and watched Jiang Peishan interacting with the girl, his eyes full of doting.

At this time, Jiang Peishan raised her eyes and saw Nan Qiao not far away.

At that moment, she put away all the smiles on her face and the anger and hatred in her eyes burned like flames.

She stared at Nan Qiao intently, as if she wanted to pierce her with her gaze.

Jiang Peishan pulled the girl's hand slightly harder, glancing at Nan Qiao from the corner of her eye, her tone full of obvious sarcasm, "Minmin, you are such a good child. Our Minmin is different from some girls. She respects her elders and brothers, and is kind and lovely."

"Unlike some people who, relying on their own contributions, use their power as a token of authority to push others into the abyss."

The girl seemed to notice the change in atmosphere and looked at Jiang Peishan in confusion.

Jiang Peishan continued to glare at Nan Qiao, not hiding her disgust at all. The corners of her mouth turned down slightly, and her face was full of disdain and resentment.

Lan Zhiming and Lan Yuchen also saw Nan Qiao, their faces fell, and they no longer had the smiles they had just had.

Pang Min looked back and forth at Nan Qiao, secretly speculating about this girl in his heart.

She looked at the complicated expressions of the Lan family, which contained both anger and a hint of unspeakable confusion, and became more certain of her guess.

Pang Min's eyes were fixed on Nan Qiao, and her originally pretty face now had a bit of harshness.

She frowned slightly, and her disgust towards Nan Qiao grew stronger.

Then she said to Jiang Peishan, "Auntie, with me here, no one will dare to bully the Lan family. If anyone wants to cause trouble for the Lan family, my father will be the first to disagree!"

After hearing Pang Min's words, Jiang Peishan showed a look of relief on her face and held Pang Min's hand tightly.

"Good boy, I feel relieved with your words. Some people are really too much!"

Pang Min puffed out his chest, looking indignant. "Auntie, don't be angry. We don't have to be afraid of her. I will definitely let her know that the Lan family is not to be bullied."

Lan Zhiming nodded slightly, agreeing with Pang Min's words.

Lan Yuchen's expression didn't show, but his slightly curved face proved that he was very satisfied with Pang Min's attitude towards the Lan family.

Pang Min continued, "I will keep an eye on her from now on. As long as she does anything that is detrimental to the Lan family, my father and I will definitely not sit idly by."

Jiang Peishan looked at Pang Min gratefully, "Minmin, Auntie is really grateful to you. With you here, the Lan family has someone to rely on."

Pang Min raised his chin proudly, his eyes filled with arrogance. "This is what I should do. It's because I like the Lan family and Brother Yuchen. I will never let anyone destroy the peace of the Lan family."

It turns out that people will laugh when they are speechless. Nan Qiao pursed her lips and controlled the corners of her mouth from turning up.

She hasn't done anything or said anything, so does the Lan family hate her so much?

I really admire the Lan family's way of thinking. Fortunately, she didn't grow up in the Lan family, otherwise she would have grown up in a wrong way!
