At the airport arrival terminal.

“Boss, the Professor CC whom we are looking for is on the international flight UA88 which has just arrived. I have forwarded his/her photo to your email address…” On the other end of the call was the assistant’s anxious voice.

Qin Nanyu looked up. The electronic board indicating UA88’s flight information stated that it had already arrived 20 minutes ago. If he acted any slower, he might just miss Professor CC.

He opened the email to download the photo, but since the internet was laggy, the photo loaded very slowly.

10 percent.

50 percent.

70 percent.

99 percent…

Right at the moment that Qin Nanyu was about to see the photo —

His mobile phone was sent flying as he was knocked from behind, sending the phone into the nearby fishpond. Upon touching the water, the phone’s screen immediately blacked out.

Qin Nanyu’s deep eyes stared at his empty hands in disbelief. His assistant’s reminder echoed in his ears, “Boss, Professor CC is too mysterious. She/He never shows up in public, so we don’t even know their gender! It wasn’t easy to get information on the professor, so you must make sure to seize this opportunity! If not, we might just have to wait another ten years for another opportunity!”

That remaining one percent was going to cost him a decade of his life!

How many decades did one even have in a lifetime?!

A cold look flashed across Qin Nanyu’s eyes as he turned around to look at the wretched person who had knocked into him.

He turned to see that it was an unfamiliar woman dressed in a long, white dress. As Qin Nanyu raised his hand in exasperation, the woman shoved all the banknotes from her wallet into his palms. “Sorry, sorry, that really wasn’t on purpose. Take this money – if it isn’t enough to repair your phone, you can contact me again—”

As she finished talking, she rummaged through her bag for a few seconds before shoving a crumpled name card into Qin Nanyu’s hands. She emphasised earnestly, “You must remember to contact me!”

Then, she turned around and ran off.

The moment she disappeared, a few policemen suddenly rushed into the arrival hall before charging in her direction rapidly, causing a huge commotion in the process.

Qin Nanyu unfolded the crumpled name card with a dark expression on his face.

Jiangcheng University Academic Affairs Office, Ji Weitian?

Ji Weitian, my foot!

Qin Nanyu gritted his teeth as he crushed the name card into a ball and threw it into a trash can.

Qin Nanyu’s mobile phone system had been personally developed by himself, so it came with a waterproof feature. However, once it came into contact with water, it would automatically go into sleep protection mode and he would have to return to his laboratory to use some specialized equipment to turn it back on.

With all the time required to travel back and fro, Professor CC would have been long gone by the time he got back!

Qin Nanyu’s perfectly sculpted face turned cold as he looked down at the bank notes in his hands. This woman had actually tried to use a few hundred bucks to compensate for his immeasurable loss?

He clenched the notes tightly in his hands. This was the first time he had actually wanted to kill somebody.

When he snapped back to his senses, Qin Nanyu suddenly realized that his son who had been following him had disappeared…

It was on this rare day that he had fetched the little brat back from school that he found out about Professor CC’s whereabouts. Because of this, he had no choice but to bring his son along. Yet, here he was deciding to just go missing.

–

Ji Weitian dragged her luggage past the crowd and walked quickly toward the airport exit as she secretly rejoiced. Thankfully, she was able to escape swiftly; if not, she would have been captured by the group of old farts.

Just as she was about to heave a sigh of relief, she felt someone staring at her from behind.

She turned around slowly yet cautiously. Could it be that she had yet to shake off those bodyguards?

As she looked down the silent walkway, she noticed a small shadow hiding near the safety door area.

Ji Weitian pretended to act fierce as she took two steps back and shouted, “Who’s following me? Show yourself!”
