Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Your Death Summon is Here
Jiang Nanshu looked at the message, her eyebrows raised, a pleased smile on her lips.
Chu Muxi couldn’t hold back any longer.
She wondered what Chu Muxi had seen to make her so determined to try and kill Jian Hemian through an experimental explosion.
While Jiang Nanshu was considering whether or not to go see the scene, she received a message from Jian Hemian.
Jian Hemian: “I’m outside your school gate, come out for a moment.”
Jiang Nanshu: “???”
This guy should have been in the lab waiting to get blown up, not wandering around outside.
Chu Muxi was at the scene, and he, on the other hand, had run off to Jing University. How could this be allowed?
Jiang Nanshu rushed frantically to the school gate.
Jian Hemian, with his outstanding looks, attracted a crowd of young girls the first time he came here, simply by standing there.
Without his work uniform, he wore a light-colored trench coat and a pair of black suit pants; his slightly long hair was combed back, revealing a smooth forehead, as he lazily leaned against an SUV.
Seeing Jiang Nanshu, he smiled and drew out his words: “Good afternoon, little sister.”
Jiang Nanshu looked at him with confusion: “Why are you at my school?”
“Of course, to see you; what else could I be doing?”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[Normally you don’t seek me out. You’re very unusual today!]
“What’s up?”
“This afternoon, I have an experimental exercise. The leadership will come to watch, and I’d like you to help me record it.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[You want me, a university student, to record your experimental exercise? Don’t you have two older and two younger brothers? Why not ask them?]
She looked hesitant: “What about second brother? Is he free?”
“He has surgery this afternoon…” Jian Hemian paused, the corners of his eyes lifting slightly: “Someone is reaping what they’ve sown.”
“What do you mean?” Jiang Nanshu was somewhat baffled.
“Do you remember Doctor Wu, who got stabbed at the hospital last time?”
Jiang Nanshu nodded.
Jian Hemian continued: “He got infected with a virus. It severely affected his heart, and now he’s lying in the hospital fighting for his life. Second brother will perform the surgery, and that guy doesn’t have much chance of surviving.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[This is totally backwards! It should have been second brother who got stabbed and then found out he had the virus. How did it turn out to be Wu Guo, the innocent one? That’s way off base!]
“What about eldest brother…”
Jian Hemian met her clear eyes and said indifferently: “He’s tied up with a project development in Nanshan District; he pulled in a partner.”
“What about Yanshan District? Why not do that project first?” Jiang Nanshu asked hastily.
Jian Hemian slightly curved his lips: “Don’t know, go ask eldest brother yourself. Anyway, he’s not free, the fourth one doesn’t have time either, Lao Wu has to study and run the company, in the whole family, you’re the only one free. Who else should I ask?”
[Don’t tell me the Yanshan District project was handed over to Bao Yan. I’d really be angry.]
Jiang Nanshu took a deep breath and raised a smile: “Okay then, I’ll go with you to the research institute. I’ve already taken several days off, one more day shouldn’t matter…”
Jian Hemian opened the car door for her: “Let’s go.”
Jiang Nanshu got into the car, and Jian Hemian drove towards the research institute.
[So there is an experimental exercise today… There must be a lot of people, huh? Hehe, now you’ll get what’s coming to you.]
Jian Hemian’s expression remained unchanged, his thoughts whirling. So it’s today, then?
Was it because he had rejected Chu Muxi’s attempt to join the institute some time ago that she harbored a grudge?
Indeed, he was a venomous snake hidden in the shadows. If it weren’t for Jiang Nanshu’s inner voice, he would have never known such a malignant tumor was lurking by his side.
The car stopped in the parking lot of the research institute, and Jian Hemian led Jiang Nanshu out.
The research institute was vast, with plenty of greenery, and behind the building Jian Hemian had brought her to, there was a large and deep pond.
The experiment was to be conducted on the ground floor, adjacent to the pond, offering a beautiful view from the window.
Jian Hemian put on his lab coat, and by his side was a woman about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old dressed in the same lab coat. She had a low ponytail and her calm, comely face carried a mature charm.
Jiang Nanshu gave the woman an extra glance.
“So it is this sister that made Chu Muxi jealous, huh? Hey, are you two secretly dating?”
Hearing Jiang Nanshu’s thoughts, Jian Hemian was momentarily stunned.
Then he introduced her, “Let me introduce you, her name is Qu Yao, a colleague from another research institute. She’s here to assist me with this experiment, my collaborator.”
Jiang Nanshu suddenly understood and flashed a sweet smile, “Hello, Sister Qu Yao.”
Qu Yao returned the smile politely, “Hello, your brother always talks about you. Seeing you today, you really are as adorable as he says.”
“My third brother?” Jiang Nanshu tilted her head slightly, “He talks about me?”
“Yes,” Qu Yao looked towards Jian Hemian and chuckled lightly, “Indeed, your third brother always brags about having an exceptionally cute and pretty sister. Our entire experimental team has been curious about you.”
“Qu Yao,” Jian Hemian said in a brief utterance.
Qu Yao then shut her mouth, winked at Jiang Nanshu, and mouthed silently, “Shy now.”
“Wow, it really is like the sun rising in the west for you to compliment me… You’re changing too much. From initially wanting to stab me with a knife to now praising me… Hey.”
“Cough.” Jiang Nanshu’s face reddened, seemingly embarrassed.
She took Qu Yao aside to talk.
Though it was their first meeting, they chatted as if by some natural connection.
Qu Yao now believed that Jian Hemian was right about his sister being very cute.
She had been concerned that a lady from a wealthy family might be difficult to get along with.
Yet it turned out that Jiang Nanshu was unexpectedly gentle.
Jian Hemian shook his head helplessly, then began to prepare the props for the experiment.
Qu Yao explained to Jiang Nanshu how to record the broadcast later and handed her a mobile phone and a selfie stick.
After going over everything, another group of people, senior professors, came in to observe Jian Hemian’s experiment. If successful, it could lead to a patent that would benefit humanity.
Their attention was not on Jiang Nanshu tucked away in the corner. She was only responsible for using her phone to record the experiment, to aid the professors in their later observation.
Jiang Nanshu’s mind wasn’t on the experiment. She kept looking out the window until she saw Chu Muxi’s figure hiding in the dark, and excitement flickered in her eyes.
“Ah, Wuhu, it’s coming, your harbinger of doom is coming.”
Behind his glasses, Jian Hemian’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
The experiment passed smoothly.
The elder professors couldn’t help but applaud.
“Hemian, you’re simply a genius,” someone praised.
Qu Yao smiled and suggested, “Respected deans, shall we discuss this in another building? After Professor Jiang tidies up here.”
There were no objections.
After all, it was their own research achievement.
Better to be cautious.
The group filed out.
Now only Jiang Nanshu and Jian Hemian remained in the laboratory.
Jian Hemian took the mobile phone to record, tapped the screen making sure the image was clear, and nodded with satisfaction, “Third brother, I’ve got everything you wanted sorted. Is there anything else you need my help with?”
