Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Ye Wangchuan waited outside for 10 minutes. After replying to a message, he looked up and saw the girl walking out of the research institute.

He put the phone away, straightened his legs, and opened the car's door.

Qiao Nian got into the car and buckled her seatbelt. She was thinking about something the entire time and looked a little distracted.

Ye Wangchuan did not ask about it. He walked to the other side to get into the car and handed her the drink he had bought for her. "Here, your lemonade."

Qiao Nian saw the drink that was suddenly magnified in front of her and reached out to take it. Her cold white hand turned the rim of the glass and she lowered her eyes. "Thank you."

Seeing that she was distracted, Ye Wangchuan started the car and placed his hand on the steering wheel. He raised his eyebrows and asked her, "Are you going back home or to the hospital first?"

Qiao Nian thought for a moment and then narrowed her eyes. Her gaze was firm. "Let's go find Gu Hengbo. I have something to ask him."

* * *

In a private hospital in a corner of the independent continent.

Gu Hengbo was locked in one of the wards with a face full of vicissitudes. Other than not being able to go out, a fixed number of people came in to deliver food to him every day.

However, with a double whammy, a blow to both his body and his mind, he uncontrollably lost a lot of weight. It looked like he had aged by more than 10 years.

The Gu family had never given up on looking for him in the one week he disappeared.

The Gu family was not considered a large faction in the independent continent. In the past, relying on Gu Hengbo, they could still interact with large factions like the Ji family, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and the Hacker Alliance.

Later on, Gu Hengbo was expelled from the First Research Institute by Feng Yu. The Gu family's status in the independent continent plummeted… They could no longer play with the top circles of the independent continent.

It was also for this reason that after asking so many people in the circle, Gu Fan only got Ji Ziyin's help.

The Gu family had not found any news about Gu Hengbo until now. They didn't know that he was locked up in a hospital not far from them.

When Qiao Nian arrived, Gu Hengbo only raised his eyelids slightly, looking like he was about to give up. He said lightly, "Why are you here?"

"Take a look?" Qiao Nian dragged a chair over to the bed and threw the note in front of him. She raised her chin slightly, indicating for him to take a look.

Gu Hengbo couldn't read her mind. He skeptically picked up the note and looked down. "…Ji Ziyin is contacting the people from the First Research Institute in private. It seems like she's setting up a laboratory to go against the First Research Institute?"

He read out the contents of the note word for word.

Gu Hengbo was slightly stunned after he finished reading. After quickly figuring out the links, his empty eyes began to focus on the light spots.

Qiao Nian saw all the changes in his expression.

She watched as he threw the note away and put on a dead face. She was not angry. She took the note back from him and threw it into the trash can.

The corners of her eyes raised slightly as she placed her hand on the table and said in a casual tone, "Tell me, what does Ji Ziyin want?"

Gu Hengbo's eyes flashed and he shut his mouth tightly, as if he did not want to continue chatting.

Qiao Nian curled her lips and knocked on the table with her left hand. She leaned back and looked at him with her dark eyes. She chuckled. "Don't tell me you think Ji Ziyin still cares about you?"

Seemingly provoked, Gu Hengbo suddenly stared at her.

Qiao Nian let him. She reached out and raised her baseball cap, revealing an arrogant face. "You're no longer useful to her."
