Chapter 660: Whose Trap Is This?
But eating too much, one would inevitably feel sick of it.
Later, her issue with low blood sugar eased a lot, so she never carried chocolate around with her anymore.
Unexpectedly, because of Qin Nanyu, she inexplicably finished a whole pack of chocolates today.
Ji Weitian felt a bit thirsty and unscrewed a bottle of mineral water to take a sip.
Only after she had drunk it did she realize, she had drunk from the bottle she had just fed to Qin Nanyu...
Ji Weitian’s heart stopped for an instant, she came back to her senses, immediately screwed the cap back on, and put the bottle aside, pretending she had done nothing.
Then, nervously, she turned her head to steal a glance at him, saw that Qin Nanyu was seriously driving, and apparently hadn’t noticed her action, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
The place where Professor Zhang Guangzi lived was in a remote bed and breakfast in the suburbs.
That place was not only very far but also very remote.
Ji Weitian didn’t know how Qin Nanyu had found that address, and when she realized that the navigation couldn’t even find the address, she couldn’t help but mutter, "Are you sure Professor Zhang is really there? Why do I feel this bed and breakfast seems very eerie?"
She magnified the map she had found on her phone to show him.
On the map, around the address Qin Nanyu mentioned, there wasn’t a single road leading there, it was all wild grass and jungle.
Could someone really be living in such a bed and breakfast?
Even if outsiders didn’t go there, the people inside needed to eat, drink, and take care of their needs, without any roads, how would they come out to buy things?
"Qin Nanyu, have you been there?" Ji Weitian asked, tilting her head when she saw he wasn’t talking.
Qin Nanyu: "No."
The address was found by Song Shu, and he hadn’t been there either.
After Professor Zhang Guangzi retired, he was rehired by Jiangcheng University to teach, until several years later, feeling his energy decline, he truly retired.
The day after his retirement procedures were completed, he disappeared.
No one knew where he had gone, nor did he contact his friends and relatives anymore.
It was as though he had suddenly vanished from this world.
Qin Nanyu had thought of inviting the old man out of retirement when he first started this research project but could never find him.
Only recently had he managed, after much difficulty, to get Professor Zhang’s current address.
The place was a bit remote, but from his previous interactions with Professor Zhang, it seemed like a place the old man would like.
So he hadn’t thought much of it.
Now, hearing Ji Weitian’s words, he also realized that there was something off about this address.
"That information you showed me, it wasn’t prepared temporarily, was it? Had you thought long ago about asking Professor Zhang for help?" Ji Weitian asked, suddenly realizing something.
Qin Nanyu: "Yes."
Ji Weitian: "That’s bad then, the news of you looking for Professor Zhang might have been heard by others, who then deliberately released a fake address to lead you on a wild goose chase."
What they lacked the most right now was time.
If they really were led by the nose, going back and forth in search of a person they couldn’t find, they would truly fall into Lu Jing’s trap.
"Shhh—"
Qin Nanyu pulled over, took the phone from Ji Weitian’s hand, and carefully studied the address shown on the map.
The location seemed strange, inaccessible by any road.
Initially, Qin Nanyu had thought that because the place was so remote, some of the small paths had not yet been added to the navigation system.
Now it seemed very likely that it truly was inaccessible.
"Are we still going now?" Ji Weitian asked.
"Let’s go," Qin Nanyu said, his lips slightly parting.
