Chapter 1859: Chapter 1857: Core Laboratory

Back then, Gu Qiaoqiao carved many of these items, all now placed in the Treasure Room where they’ve absorbed the purest spiritual energy from heaven and earth over time. The benefits of wearing such an amulet are almost visibly apparent.

People might be like this; when hope seems distant, they can patiently endure, but once hope is before them, and the dawn is about to break, they become anxious.

At this moment, Luo Fan felt just like that.

He hurriedly left Gu Garden with the amulet and returned to the company without delay, arranging for a trusted person to book a flight for tomorrow to deliver the amulet to his elder brother.

After completing these tasks, Luo Fan let out a long sigh of relief, preparing to patiently wait with his grandfather for September to arrive.

Perhaps his elder brother might wake up.

In two days, it would be Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei’s first birthday banquet. After much consideration, Elder Luo decided to invite Qin Yize out, choosing a restaurant owned by the Luo Family that wasn’t centrally located but rather a bit remote.

The restaurant wasn’t a high-rise but consisted of three connected quadrangle courtyards. From the outside, it seemed ordinary, only marked by a sign with the stylish script, Luo’s Restaurant, clearly a Luo Family establishment.

This was Qin Yize’s first visit here, and as he arrived, he found himself in a picturesque setting of small bridges and flowing water, with an elegant environment. Although it was July, the place was not hot; instead, a refreshing breeze greeted him.

The place felt more like an elegant park than a restaurant.

Elder Luo led Qin Yize to a quiet courtyard.

After sitting down, a waiter served a few small dishes and two cups of green tea, then quietly stepped back.

The ambiance became even quieter.

As the elder, Qin Yize poured tea for Elder Luo, then smiled and asked, "Elder Luo, you called me here, is there something you need to discuss?"

"Ah Ze, do you recall the woman named Sinan during your first meeting with Luo Fan’s parents? She was by their side," Elder Luo directly asked.

Qin Yize calmly recalled and nodded, "I remember her."

"That night I went back and interrogated my eldest son. Only then did I find out that this matter is actually connected to your Qin Group."

"Is she part of the Si Family?" Qin Yize asked.

"Yes, she’s from that family. The Si Family somehow learned about a product you have that’s about to be launched, supposedly one that would lead the world, and now they’re eyeing it."

Qin Yize held the teacup tightly; this matched the intel he had.

His new product was still in the final sprint stage, yet many people were already coveting it, openly and in secret, deploying all sorts of probing tactics and means. He had already dealt with many but didn’t expect this foreign Si Family to be eyeing it too.

"What exactly do they want?"

"The head of the Si Family wants Luo Fan to marry Sinan, and his son to marry Qianqian."

At this, Elder Luo shook his head with a sneer, "On the surface, the Si Family seems foolish and utopian, but Ah Ze, this matter may not be so simple."

Indeed, if someone intends to do something, why would they brazenly announce it and use such foolish means?

Luo Fan and Gu Qianqian are well together; how could they be with the Si Family now? They don’t even know each other yet, even if introductions were made, there’d be a process, and by then, who knows what the Qin Family’s situation would be.

So, considering this matter, Elder Luo pondered back and forth, understanding some parts while remaining unclear about others. The part he understood was this diversion—the other party must intend to divert Qin Yize’s attention towards Luo Fan and Gu Qianqian.

But his speculation was merely speculation; nowadays, people’s minds are hard to grasp. Sometimes, many don’t play by the rules, and you can’t predict what they’ll do.

Like his eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Shuzhi, some think she’s scheming and plotting trouble. Ultimately, she’s just foolish, arrogant, and insolent.

Years of wealth have inflated her desires and left her senseless. Together with her kindred spirit eldest son, their daily discussions involve these things, with no one to cool them down or discourage their ideas, leading to their current arrogance.

Yet, the Si Family must be guarded against.

Qin Yize pondered, then cautiously said, "Elder Luo, since things are like this, I won’t hide it from you; Qianqian has an exchange student opportunity in September. The university she’s going to is likely connected to the Si Family."

Elder Luo considered, "Since you’ve already caught many people’s attention, it’s best to be cautious."

"Yes, I understand, Elder Luo. Actually, for the past half year, the Qin Family has been in such a state; we’ve long been prepared."

After some conversation with Teacher Luo, as the skies dimmed, they respectively left.

Qin Yize returned home and informed Gu Qiaoqiao about Qianqian’s situation. Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize in surprise, "Really? Is this Si Family dreaming up fantasy? Wanting Qianqian to marry his son, who’s he? Just another nobody?"

Gu Qiaoqiao’s temper flared like a rocket.

Her cheeks turned red from anger.

Qin Yize couldn’t help but chuckle and reached out to ruffle his wife’s hair until it was tousled, then lightly said, "Yes, I think the same, but better to tell Qianqian to be cautious."

"Qianqian has a bracelet Yun Luo gave her before leaving. It lacks offensive capabilities but offers protection. Even so, guarding against such sinister Si Family characters is prudent."

Then he glanced at Qin Yize, "By the way, what about Sinan?"

"She left this morning."

Gu Qiaoqiao’s thoughts swirled, and she whispered, "Ah Ze, you need to be careful too."

"Don’t worry, I know what to do."

Gu Qiaoqiao thought it over, "How about this, tomorrow I’ll go to the company with you. You tell me what’s most important, and I’ll set up a barrier for you."

Qin Yize frowned slightly, "My lab sees daily personnel movement. Setting a barrier would require extracting their aura and be quite draining. No need to worry; these are simple tricks. I haven’t even taken them seriously."

Gu Qiaoqiao proudly moved her fingers, "Ah Ze, I’ve improved so much now. Setting a barrier is just like your fingerprint verification at entrance; it’s highly effective, and it doesn’t tire me at all."

And indeed, it was just as Gu Qiaoqiao said; Qin Yize brought her to his core laboratory.
