Back at the lab, Bojing introduced Zexi to Shilin, who was eting her for the first ti.
"Shilin, she is Zexi. My g-g-g-girl-"
"Girlfriend!" Zexi chirped.
Bojing was close to tears. "I-I was going to say that too..."
"I just sped up the process~"
She then looked at Shilin and greeted him with a bright smile. "Nice to et you. I heard you are working as Bojing’s assistant. Haha, Bojing beca a senior."
Shilin blinked at her once and then pleasantly smiled. "Hello. It is nice to et you. I am Shilin."
"Hello!"
"I did not know Senior Lu had a girlfriend. You are very lucky Miss. Zexi."
Bojing gasped and slightly blushed. "No, no! I-It is who is l-lucky to have her..."
A dry voice ca. "Is this lucky unlucky chit chat over? We have things to do."
Mingshen walked past them and entered his office followed by Huojin. "Hey, Zexi. Long ti no see."
"Bro Huojin," she bead.
"Are you all coming inside or should I lock the door and talk to air?"
Her brow twitched. She had seen Mingshen talk in a salty manner but today, his temper felt different.
She whispered into Bojing’s ear. "Why is Bro Mingshen so angry?"
He wiped his eyes. "What else could it be b-but sis Jia? Ever since she was t-taken into custody, Boss has been l-like this..."
She almost stumbled off balance.
Why is he getting angry because of sis Jia? Sure, she did a huge thing for him but is he...is he really capable of feeling grateful?
Huojin asked, "So you say that Quantum Gas is one of the clients for those techy nanomaterials that make the chips?"
He shrugged. "That is what my source said. So."
His eyes narrowed at Zexi and she stiffened. "Without wasting any ti, tell about this company you will be joining."
Zexi said, "It’s just a tech company involved in gas developnt. It has been in the market for three years. It makes aweso video gas and other 3D gas. It’s very popular with teenagers and people of my age."
"Zhang Luqi was working in this company. Does it an it’s sothing related to the company?"
Zexi was horrified. "W-what are you talking about Bro Huojin? How can Ehuang’s case and Quantum be connected? Quantum Gas is a tech company. It is not involved with the dical field or such surgeries at all."
"But a woman connected to a previous case works there. She is in turn sohow connected with the people working for She. It is still too soon to judge anything. But Zhang Feiyu was talking about sothing like Zhang Luqi was staying late at night in the office for so days. Then apparently, she was excited for sothing the next day and it’s the sa day when the goons ca."
Mingshen tapped his finger on the desk. "Which team will you be joining?"
Zexi said proudly, "In the core developnt team. It is hard to get a place there."
Huojin said, "Zhang Luqi was in the sa team."
"So the chances of this brat finding sothing useful is far better than wasting our ti elsewhere."
"..."
"Y-you want to be the spy there?" She was aghast.
"Good that your brain worked quickly."
Huojin pointed out. "It can be dangerous. We already know how far these people can go in covering their tracks."
"Do you have any other great ideas that could drag these people out?" He smiled sarcastically. "Your law won’t be able to even do anything without a proper warrant. It is just suspicions at this point, after all."
He pressed the space between his brows.
With the helper’s death, they really had no other link to investigate She.
"But we cannot force her. If Zexi doesn’t want to get into this ss, then we will have to figure out a different way."
Mingshen’s pointed and cold gaze fell upon her as if rejecting his idea wasn’t an option.
Zexi - "..."
"No threatening, Yang Mingshen," he dryly said.
Bojing was torn apart too. On one hand, the spying could get dangerous but on the other side, he wanted to help Jia too.
But he made up his mind.
"W-will you please help us Zexi? S-Sis Jia really needs you. We have to p-prove any how that She is involved in all this and t-that Ehuang’s parents are the culprits!"
Shilin nodded.
"B-But I don’t know anything...What if I made a mistake and instead exposed our plan accidentally?" She paled with that thought.
Huojin said, "Don’t worry about that at all. I will tell you what you should do and what you shouldn’t. How to act and where to look for any clues. Of course, if you ever feel that things look very dangerous, don’t get into that trajectory of investigation at all. We will take that from there sohow."
Zexi still wasn’t sure. This was her very first job and she had dreams of doing her best and setting her foothold in the corporate life.
But suddenly, Quantum Gas was under the scanner.
"O-Okay."
Bojing hugged her hard. "Thank you Zexi! Do-don’t worry, Boss and Bro Huojin wi-will definitely protect you."
Well, I really hope so! I don’t want to die single!
—
Zexi stood in front of the entrance gates of Quantum Gas. Today was her very first day, but her heart refused to stop racing.
Huojin, who was accompanying her, assured her. "I know it will take a little ti to adjust but stay calm. Just act as an usual new joiner. You have my and Mingshen’s number on the speed dial. Don’t hesitate to call us if you find anything strange."
She gulped and nodded.
"S-so should I head in now?"
He nodded. "Good luck."
"Ah, what a pleasant surprise," a new voice ca from the back. "Never thought would et you here again."
They turned. Huojin’s eyes slightly widened, recognizing the young woman before them.
"Li Beiye."
"Ding, ding, ding!" She chuckled.
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I work as an intern here," she smiled.
Li Beiye eyed Zexi and guessed "Is she your sister who you used as an excuse to enter Brightside University that day?"
Huojin arched his brow. "...You have a good mory."
He had not expected that she would rember such a minor detail from a case of months back.
She burst into a hearty laughter, her gaze looking at him rrily. "Yes. I have a very good mory."
