hard-edged

An Ran followed Xu Jingcheng all the way, and they still followed the two men in black, but they didn't expect that the place they took him to was the Academy of Sciences.

When he was blocked by two soldiers outside the door, Xu Jingcheng took out a certificate and handed it over. The soldier looked at the certificate, then at them, and opened the door to let them in.

Once inside the courtyard, An Ran felt that the temperature inside was much lower than outside, so she couldn't help rubbing her arms.

The corridor was empty, and the sound of their walking echoed in my ears.But An Ran was different, besides the sound of footsteps, there were also the voices of many people talking in his ears, and it was even more terrifying to hear the voices but not the people.

At this moment, a man in a white coat came to meet Xu Jingcheng, and immediately came over when he saw Xu Jingcheng, "Xu Guan, why are you here?"

Xu Jingcheng smiled and said, "Yeah, I heard that the research starts today, so I'll come over to take a look, and I'll see someone by the way."

The man laughed loudly when he heard that, "The one behind is the key point, right?"

Although the relationship between Xu Jingcheng and Lou Qianqing is not well known, there must be a lot of people talking about it in private.

After hearing this, Xu Jingcheng laughed without saying a word.

This person was also very witty, winked and made a joke and left.

After the man walked away, Xu Jingcheng whispered in An Ran's ear, "When the meeting starts, you will always pay attention to the sounds around you and the content of the conversation, both present and absent, and you will report to me when you go back."

An Ran nodded, and immediately cheered up.

They came to the door of the laboratory, but did not enter.Xu Jingcheng raised his chin to one of the men in black, and that man immediately came forward to knock on the door knowingly.

There were two rows of benches outside the laboratory, Xu Jingcheng walked over and sat down.

An Ran stood aside with the other man in black. He lowered his head and listened to the sounds around him as instructed.

Lou Qianqing didn't want to participate in it, so he took a few test tubes and was doing experiments casually. Suddenly someone walked up to her and said in a low voice, "Guan Xu is looking for you."

She regained her spirits in an instant, threw away the test tube and went out.

I was a little surprised when I saw An Ran, but then quickly recovered and smiled at him.

Then he sat down next to Xu Jingcheng, and then leaned his head on Xu Jingcheng's shoulder, looking very aggrieved.

Xu Jingcheng touched her face, "Don't be angry."

Lou Qianqing shook his head, "I'm not angry, I'm just blocked."

"It's my fault." Xu Jingcheng sighed, took out something like a pocket watch from his pocket, and hung it around Lou Qianqing's neck, "This thing is the same as a wrist watch, but it has been processed so that it cannot be detected. Use this to contact me."

Lou Qianqing took a look and immediately stuffed the things into his clothes.

Xu Jingcheng said: "Be careful here."

"Got it." Lou Qianqing patted Xu Jingcheng's forehead with his thumb and index finger, "I'll be fine." Then he got up and smiled at him knowingly and walked back.

Xu Jingcheng also stood up, stared at the laboratory door for a while, and then turned to leave.

Then he took An Ran to the military area again, to meet a person, and the person arrived after waiting for a while.

The person who came was wearing a military uniform and was tall. Although he was smiling all the way, he couldn't stop his majesty.

As soon as the man came in, he greeted Xu Jingcheng enthusiastically, and after saying a few words, Xu Jingcheng pointed at An Ran. The man looked back, walked over to have a look, and then hugged him.

safely:"……"

But he let go quickly, and said to Xu Jingcheng: "This is the person you mentioned, and he is too thin, why don't you send him to me, and I will train him to be stronger." After speaking, he raised his arms Show his little mouse, he's the one who was meeting at the restaurant then.

Xu Jingcheng laughed and said, "This is up to him. After finding him, let him choose what he likes to do."

"That's it..." Zhao Yong felt a little regretful, and then asked with great expectation: "Boy, what are you thinking?"

An Ran glanced at Xu Jingcheng and shook her head.

Xu Jingcheng had no choice but to help him out, saying: "He has only been here for a few days, so he doesn't know anything."

Zhao Yong nodded, "That's right, then you can take him around for a few days."

At this time, a soldier came in and took a look at them, then leaned into Zhao Yong's ear and said a few words, Zhao Yong nodded, and said to Xu Jingcheng: "I have something to leave first, I don't have time to greet you, so go about it."

Xu Jingcheng nodded and said with a smile: "Well, you go now."

After Zhao Yong left, Xu Jingcheng took An Ran around the military area.

An Ran looked at the soldiers who were practicing, shouting slogans forcefully, he suddenly felt as if there was a hot blood churning in his chest.

After returning to the office, Xu Jingcheng asked, "What did you hear just now?"

An Ran then reported what she had heard one by one, but at the end she had a tangled expression.

Xu Jingcheng then asked, "What's the matter? What else is there?"

An Ran said: "Hmm... I heard some voices but didn't see them. It's very strange."

Xu Jingcheng asked, "Where did you hear that?"

"Academy of Science." An Ran thought for a while, "I heard a little bit when I was outside, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time, and I didn't hear it when I went in. I heard it again after walking for a while."

Xu Jingcheng murmured to himself: "Is it in the courtyard..." After thinking for a moment, "Okay, you go back first, I'll let them check it out."

An Ran nodded and turned to leave. Just two steps away, she saw the two men in black following her. She couldn't help but stop, and asked doubtfully, "Are you following me, or are you following Da... um... Daddy's?"

One person said: "Send you back first, then come back."

An Ran snorted, "Then one of you will send me off, leaving one to protect my father."

The two felt the same after hearing it, and looked at each other, one returned to the original position, and the other followed An Ran.

When An Ran went back, Xue Chengyi was sitting on the bed and had a video chat with someone. From a distance, he saw on the screen that he didn't know whether it was Yu Xiao or Yu Ling. He posted almost the whole post, arguing with Xue Chengyi.

The voice was a bit loud, An Ran frowned and quickly closed the door.

The person on the screen almost yelled at Xue Chengyi, "My sister finally broke the firewall! Finally got in touch with you! How dare you treat me like this!!!!"

Xue Chengyi was mad, "Fuck, don't say that, as if I have something to do with you."

Yu Xiaodao, "Bah! Who wants to have anything to do with you! Last time... hey! Cute An Ran! You're here too!"

"..." An Ran was seen just as he was passing by.

Xue Chengyi froze for a moment, then quickly recovered, and continued to talk to Yu Xiao about the original topic.

Although he was chatting with Yu Xiao, his heart was always walking with An Ran, watching him go to pour a glass of water for a while, then go to the stool and sit down, see the book on the table, and take it with him. Turn it over and look at it.

"Chengyi! Xue Chengyi!" Yu Xiaolian called him a few times, "Did you hear that?!"

"I heard it, I heard it!" Xue Chengyi replied reflexively, but he didn't hear what Yu Xiao was saying at all.

Yu Xiao didn't want to continue talking to him anymore, and hung up the video call angrily.

After hanging up, Xue Chengyi realized what Yu Xiao said later, but he couldn't remember what he said after thinking about it for a while, forget it, let it go.

Most afraid of the sudden quietness of the air, the room fell into embarrassment for a while, the two of them had nothing to say, only the sound of An Ran turning the pages of a book.

Xue Chengyi: "..."

Why didn't he feel embarrassed before, but now he felt it, he bit his tongue secretly, because he thought too much.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and the cup that An Ran had just picked up fell out. Xue Chengyi sat up straight for a moment, and when the shaking stopped, he immediately jumped out of bed, opened the door and ran out, but there was no one outside.

An Ran soon received a video message from Xu Jingcheng, "Are you all right?"

"No, what was that just now?"

Xu Jingcheng sneered, "Sure enough, there is something underground in the Academy of Sciences. It must be researching something secretly. It just exploded there."

Xue Chengyi approached with a dark face, "What about my sister, she is in the Academy of Sciences."

At the beginning, Xue Chengyi followed them to the Academy of Sciences, but he couldn't get in by himself, so he wandered around the area and didn't have a chance to sneak in, so he had no choice but to return.

"She's fine in the courtyard." Xu Jingcheng said, "Chengyi, I care more about your sister's safety than you do. My situation here is more complicated than you imagined. There are many things I can't intervene in, and I can't stop them in time. I hope You can understand."

Xue Chengyi turned his back and remained silent.

An Ran glanced at him, and continued to listen to Xu Jingcheng's explanation before hanging up the video call.

After a long time, An Ran said: "I think... Da Xu has always tried his best, maybe you really misunderstood him."

"I have always believed in him and never doubted it." Xue Chengyi continued, "I was just angry with him, and I didn't say anything in advance."

An Ran said: "Maybe he can't say it, and it's not convenient for him to say it."

Xue Chengyi glanced over, and said sourly: "You've only been with him for a few days, so you trust him so quickly."

An Ran lowered her head, "I've grown up so much, I haven't really gotten along with many people. After I met you, I judged by feeling, although you are very..." Realizing that I almost slipped my mouth, I quickly shook Head, "I just feel that you are not like bad people."

"What's wrong with me?" Xue Chengyi suddenly became concerned.

An Ran shook her head and said, "No."

Xue Chengyi squinted at him, An Ran was uncomfortable being looked at, turned his face and said: "You said you killed me at that time."

Xue Chengyi: "..."

Xue Chengyi desperately recalled, did he ever say such a thing?

Looking at him, An Ran guessed that he might have forgotten it, but she didn't want him to remember it, so she didn't bother to remind her, "It's all over, anyway, in my heart, Xu and you, and those in other organizations are not bad people. .”

"Do you know why Daxu is not a supernatural person, but so many supernatural people are willing to join the organization?" Xue Chengyi asked, "The organization has been established for about eight years. From two or three people to a group, the people in it They all have the same wish."

An Ran's heart tightened, "What wish?"
