âDonât ask me for help. I have to see some patients first, and it may not be possible for me to see you.â Qiao Nian stuck one hand in her pocket and spoke coolly.
She spoke very directly.
Bo Jingxing chuckled. He relaxed a little and spoke with a smile. âMaster Cheng is in the Ninth Branch. I will take you there first.â
While he was speaking, he seemed to remember something. He said, âThis should be your first time at the Ninth Branch, right?â
âHuh?â Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows and looked at him with her black eyes.
Did it look like she came here before?
If it wasnât for Master Chengâs treatment, she probably wouldnât even need to visit the Ninth Branch at all.
Bo Jingxing looked at the girlâs beautiful eyes and then put his hand on his forehead. He smiled dumbfoundedly. âI thought that Wangchuan had brought you here before.â
âHe did not.â Qiao Nian quickly denied it as she held onto her earphones. She was a little flustered.
âHmm⦠Heâs more innocent than I thought.â
Qiao Nian was speechless. She frowned and wondered what innocence had to do with him bringing her to the Ninth Branch.
Bo Jingxing turned his head and smiled, asking the large group of people standing around in the room, âWho would like to accompany Miss Qiao and show her around the Ninth Branch?â
Thisâ¦
Zhou Wei had a dark expression on her face. She did not speak.
Luo Qingâs attention was on the USB that Qiao Nian had given him, and he kept on looking at it. He couldnât wait to find a computer and see its contents.
The other people all hesitated after they saw Qiao Nianâs young face.
No one answered.
Since no one replied, Bo Jingxing simply called on someone. âWang Jian, do you have the time to show her around?â
The man who was called on had a beard. He wordlessly pointed at himself, not believing what was happening. âYoung Master Bo, are you referring to me?â
Bo Jingxing nodded.
He quickly glanced at the thin girl standing there and lowered his head reluctantly. He hesitated. âIâm afraid I donât have time. Iâm still working on a project with Team Leader Luo. The project needs to be handed in next week. My part hasnât been completed yet.â
He was really unwilling.
Miss Qiao looked too young, and he did not want to waste his precious time showing her around.
He would prefer to use that time to learn from the team leaders in the institute. Even if they werenât free, he would prefer to research by himself. He didnât want to take care of a young girl.
Bo Jingxing didnât expect him to refuse, and his smile faltered.
Some color returned to Zhou Weiâs complexion, and a mocking smile curled up on her lips. She looked at Qiao Nian mockingly.
Qiao Nian didnât care, and she also did not want to embarrass Bo Jingxing. She spoke calmly. âThereâs no need. Gu San is here, thatâs enough. In any case, Iâm only here to attend to a patient.â
She didnât intend to visit the Ninth Branch.
Although the Ninth Branch had a great reputation in the country and many people dreamed of working here, it was only average in her eyes.
She had seen many places that were more mysterious and more powerful than the Ninth Branch.
âMiss Qiaoâ¦â Angry, Gu San clenched his fists. He couldnât bear to watch it. He felt very uncomfortable. He was about to tell Qiao Nian to forget about this and to just go home.
He didnât expect the people in the Ninth Branch to have such an attitude.
If it werenât for Master Cheng, he would have stuck up for Miss Qiao!
Gu San swept his gaze across the people who were shrinking in their seats. They were afraid of being called on by Bo Jingxing to show Qiao Nian around.
Although many people on the black market begged Miss Qiao to attend to their sickness, in such a long time, Miss Qiao had only attended to Old Master Wei.
Liang Lu said that Old Master Wei had no choice but to undergo craniotomy, but Miss Qiao managed to save him without operating on him.
If it wasnât because of Master Wangâs plea, did they really think that Miss Qiao would come to take a look at Master Cheng?
