I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Although she said it was nothing, Liu Ruying's face still showed obvious disappointment, which made the boy in front of her feel sorry for her.

"Um, how about we wait until Teacher Fang comes back before making an appointment?" the boy asked.

"That's the only way." Liu Ruying nodded.

She thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Senior, do you know the name Bai Yujing?"

"Bai Yujing?" The boy frowned and thought for a moment. "It sounds familiar, but I really can't remember. What's wrong?"

"Um, it's nothing."

After the two said goodbye, Liu Ruying sat for a while longer.

There's also Jin Rubing, with whom you can glean some information, but he's even harder to meet than Fang Bai.

Should we just give up now?

Suddenly, a familiar voice reached my ears:

"Like a shadow! Like a shadow! Look this way!"

She turned around and smiled brightly: "Qianzi, what brings you here?"

Lu Qianzi, wearing a down jacket and looking rather plump, came over with her nose red from the cold, and said:

"I have bad news and good news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"casual?"

"Then let me tell you the bad news first," Lu Qianzi said, her attempt to keep him in suspense failing. "Chen Ya didn't come back yesterday, and he didn't answer my calls. He hasn't called back since."

Liu Ruying sighed inwardly and asked, "And what's the good news?"

"The good news is that we've made some progress on Bai Yujing's identity." Lu Qianzi's eyes sparkled.

Chapter 209 You Must Be My Sister-in-Law

Yesterday, after Lu Qianzi and Liu Ruying parted ways, she couldn't find Chen Ya anywhere, so she went home by herself.

When she got home, her father, Chen Sheng, was preparing dinner. She hesitated for a long time, too embarrassed to bring up Chen Ya's matter.

The main problem was that today's experience was too unbelievable to recount, and she didn't know how to bring it up.

Only after the fish was cooked did she gather her emotions, run to the kitchen, and ask Chen Sheng:

"Dad, how much do you know about Chen Ya?"

How much do you know?

In the kitchen filled with smoke and the roar of the range hood, Chen Sheng was busy cooking and was a little surprised to hear the question.

“I raised him from infancy, I know every mole on his butt. As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. I know his temperament and personality better than anyone else. How much do you think I know about him?”

"Oh. Well..."

Just as Lu Qianzi was about to ask him if he knew anything about "Baiyujing", Chen Sheng said again:

"However, I haven't seen this child since I left home when I was young. I don't know much about his experiences, but that's okay. There's plenty of time. We'll get to know each other eventually."

Lu Qianzi couldn't help but say, "There's no time to get to know each other slowly, because..."

"What did you say?" The exhaust fan was too loud, and Chen Sheng didn't hear it clearly.

"Do you know what happened today, today..."

Lu Qianzi had only spoken halfway when the living room door opened. Chen Sheng jumped, turned off the stove, wiped his hands on his apron, and said:

"Your mom and brother are back. I'm going to see what's going on."

After saying that, he ran out, leaving Lu Qianzi standing there alone, feeling a little disappointed.

Suddenly, she realized why Chen Sheng was so concerned about Chen Hai today, and followed him.

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Chen Hai sitting on the shoe-changing stool, holding his head in his hands, looking dejected.

"What's wrong?" Chen Sheng asked, his mouth agape.

Standing next to Chen Hai, Lu Ruixiang sighed and said:

"It's a bit of a mess. The content of Beichen's second review this time was completely unexpected by everyone."

Chen Sheng stared wide-eyed and asked, "What's going on?"

"Let's go inside and talk."

...The atmosphere at the dinner table was very heavy.

Chen Hai remained silent, and neither did the rest of the family. The only sound on the table was the clinking of spoons against plates.

Whether he passes Beichen's examination or not is a matter of fate for the entire family; it can be said that it affects the fate of the whole family.

Seeing that Chen Hai was in a bad mood, Lu Qianzi hesitated for a long time before finally speaking with a smile:

"Brother, Dad, Mom, do you know what Chen Ya did today?"

Chen Sheng, his face ashen, waved his hand at Lu Qianzi and said:

"Qianzi, don't speak yet, Chen Hai is thinking about something right now."

Lu Qianzi paused, the words stuck in her throat, feeling like she was about to burst out of her mouth.

Lu Ruixiang frowned and said to her daughter:

"Chen Hai's matter is the most important right now. What Chen Ya did today can wait. You need to know that Chen Hai's upcoming investigation by Bei Chen is a major event that concerns the fate of the whole family, including Chen Ya's fate."

Chen Ya was summoned back home, but the prerequisite was that Chen Hai passed Bei Chen's investigation. The family stood taller and became more confident.

If Chen Hai's progress is not going well, it remains to be seen whether Chen Ya will be able to stay.

Lu Qianzi pouted and silently drank her soup.

Chen Hai breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, "Alright, alright, it's nothing really. Today was just the first day, so I didn't perform very well. I can make up for it tomorrow."

Chen Sheng asked, "What exactly happened?"

“Beichen’s investigation this time is very strange,” Chen Hai said. “I heard that they held some kind of internal meeting and adjusted the investigation procedures. Suddenly they want to understand my personal situation.”

After saying that, he added, "This time we prepared a lot of information about the factory's operation and management, but they didn't even look at it. All the questions they threw at me were about my personal character, as if they wanted to understand me personally."

Chen Sheng and Lu Qianzi exchanged a glance.

This kind of censorship sounds so strange, I've never heard of it before.

“I even took one of their psychological personality tests,” Chen Hai said. “Because I wasn’t very well prepared, I didn’t feel very good about it.”

Hearing this, Chen Sheng comforted him, "Maybe you're just setting your expectations too high, and the outcome might be good?"

Chen Hai's expression remained displeased as he said, "I can only hope so."

Chen Hai was wearing a Gucci suit, but he had taken off the jacket, revealing a white shirt underneath. Apart from a slightly protruding belly, he looked like a very energetic young man.

He looks about 70% like Chen Sheng and is quite handsome. He has never lacked female admirers since he was a child, but he has never been in a relationship because of the arranged marriage by the old master of the Lu family.

Chen Sheng thought for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"By the way, why do you think Beichen suddenly cares about his son's personal situation? Is it because they've taken a liking to him and want to recruit him? Do you think that's possible?"

Lu Qianzi nodded enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, brother is so outstanding, I don't think he's any worse than Xu Dashao or Xu Xiaoshao, he should have joined Beichen in the first place."

Chen Hai shook his head and said, "I don't have that idea. Working under someone else is never as good as having your own territory. Besides, how can I reach the same level as Beichen within Beichen's framework?"

Lu Ruixiang nodded approvingly: "That's ambitious!"

Chen Sheng smiled and said, "Yes, my son is so outstanding, I think he and that young President Qin are a good match."

"There's no need to say such things. I'm not even close to them right now, but in the future..."

Chen Hai didn't finish speaking; he lit a cigarette for himself.

"Go for it! Find your sister a great wife and set a good example for her," Chen Sheng encouraged her with a smile.

Dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

In the end, Lu Qianzi still couldn't bring herself to speak about Chen Ya.

That evening, she went out of her bedroom and down to the servants' quarters. When she found that Chen Ya still hadn't returned, she went up to the second floor and ran into her father, Chen Sheng.

"Qianzi, what's wrong? Why are you wandering around the house so late?"

Lu Qianzi pouted and said, "Brother Chen Ya hasn't come back."

"What? He hasn't come back? Oh, where did he go?"

Chen Sheng's eyes widened.

He then remembered that he had a son.

He asked again, "Where did he go? Wasn't he with you?"

“We split up halfway through,” Lu Qianzi said.

Chen Sheng thought for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips, after which he let out a heavy sigh.

"Forget it, go back to sleep, don't worry about him."

After saying that, he poured himself a glass of water from the water purifier on the wall and said quietly:

"His future depends on himself; there's nothing we can do to help. If he strives for success, he'll naturally have a good life; if he doesn't, no one can live his life for him. Sigh..."

He seemed to be saying this to himself, but it also seemed to be saying it to Chen Ya, who wasn't there.

He spoke while sighing and shaking his head.

He thought Chen Ya had gone out to have a good time.

Lu Qianzi asked, "Do you want to give him a call?"

Chen Sheng simply shook his head, sighed, and slowly drank his water as he returned to his bedroom.

Lu Qianzi didn't know what to say.

She wanted to talk about Ms. Asai, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to say it.

The next day, she received a call from Xia Yingji, who said that he had found a clue about Bai Yujing and asked her to bring Liu Ruying to the Eagle's Nest at Beijing University.

Lu Qianzi did not disturb her mother. After making an appointment with Liu Ruying, she took a taxi and quickly arrived at Peking University.

After she told Liu Ruying about the situation, Liu Ruying was skeptical, but the two of them walked towards the Eagle's Nest together.

On the way, Liu Ruying asked as she walked:

"Chen Ya didn't go back yesterday. Didn't your parents say anything?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianzi's face fell.

“They had more important things to do yesterday and didn’t have time to listen to me talk about Chen Ya. If I hadn’t reminded them, they wouldn’t have even noticed that Chen Ya hadn’t replied.”

After telling Liu Ruying what happened yesterday, she looked thoughtful.

It seems that Chen Ya's relationship with his biological father wasn't very good. At the very least, there was a distance between them.

However, she didn't say anything.

The more estranged the two are, the more advantageous it is for her.

……

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at their destination.

That was a semi-basement classroom in Building B5.

This teaching building is designed on an elevated platform, with the first floor being half a floor higher than a normal first floor, and underground classrooms below.

It is said that this design was originally intended as a defense measure to prevent bombing.

The so-called "Eagle Nest" of Peking University is located in one of its classrooms.

The Eagle's Nest, located at Kyoto University, remains largely a legend.

Because Eagle's Nest operates on an invitation-only basis, and all invited members sign a confidentiality agreement.

In addition, the Eagle's Nest did some earth-shattering things in its early years, which have been passed down to this day, which is why the organization lives on in legend.

Lu Qianzi knocked on the door three times long and two times short, and the door opened quickly.

"Xiao Lu, School Beauty Liu, you're here."
