Xue Zhu's indignant expression immediately deflated. She stopped insisting and nodded. "I understand. I'll explain it to Senior Brother Cao and the others."
She wasn't stupid.
She wouldn't tell Cao Yanhua and the people in the Level 8 laboratory that Xu Yi was missing. She would just find a reason to apply for leave for Qiao Nian and the others.
Shen Qingfeng had been in her group for almost four years. He knew that Xue Zhu was better at socializing than Xu Yi and him. However, Xue Zhu usually did not care about anything and was unwilling to get involved in the various major forces' disputes in the research institute. That was why she appeared ordinary.
He was relieved upon seeing that Xue Zhu immediately understood what he meant and no longer hesitated.
Shen Qingfeng patted her shoulder gently and silently comforted her. Then, he turned around and walked towards the girl, his expression solemn. "Qiao Nian, let's g°-"
At this moment, Qiao Nian had already stuffed her laptop into her shoulder bag. She unhurriedly zipped it up before nodding.
She packed her things, picked them up, and said goodbye to Xue Zhu before leaving.

It was 10:00 AM when Qiao Nian and Shen Qingfeng arrived at the Intercontinental Hotel. People were coming and going in the lobby, and people from all forces were gathered there.
Shen Qingfeng rarely came to such a place and was not used to walking in a restrained manner. Even so, he tried his best to follow Qiao Nian and silently acted as a 'protector'.
On the other hand, Qiao Nian seemed to be used to it and did not have any special reaction. She entered the lobby with Shen Qingfeng and walked straight to the elevator.
Shen Qingfeng originally wanted to go to the front desk to check in and get a room card before using the elevator. Unexpectedly, the girl had no intention of doing that.
He thought that Qiao Nian did not know how things worked here.
He caught up with her.
"Qiao Nian, we have to get a card first. The elevator has to be swiped with a room card."
