Chapter 662: So He Was There All Along 2
From admiring to picking herbs, the whole morning passed in the blink of an eye.After having lunch together, they set out for the medicine factory.
Thinking of the afternoon’s arrangement, Xia Yinian became excited, and she looked sideways at the man sitting outside her, feeling good.
It seemed that with him around, she could have a peaceful time; at least, nobody dared to come and bother her.
The man picked up his cellphone, sent out a message, and only then did he notice the girl beside him watching him.
The man merely glanced at her, then diverted his attention and put away the phone.
Xia Yinian bit her lip and paid no further attention.
In a blink, they had arrived at the medicine factory. After getting familiar with the surroundings, they each headed to their assigned Alchemy Room.
"Could you tell me, what exactly do you plan to make today?"
Xia Yinian asked, not forgetting to glance sideways at the person beside her as she walked in.
The man still ignored her and walked straight ahead.
Xia Yinian didn’t mean to idle chat.
Rather, they were collaborators today, meaning they were supposed to make a medicine together and submit it for scoring.
But the "expert" had been ignoring her all along. If this continued, without any communication throughout, Xia Yinian didn’t know how they could possibly cooperate.
Inside the Alchemy Room, there was a tall figure wearing a white coat and a medical cap, his back towards them, seemingly committed to his task.
Xia Yinian glanced over and felt a flicker of familiarity.
However, her instincts told her she must have mistaken him for someone else; she didn’t have many friends in Yaoshan, how could she recognize someone?
"Sir, the person has been brought here." Suddenly, the man who walked over there whispered.
Sir? What did he mean? Prompted by the man’s words, Xia Yinian immediately halted her steps, not daring to go forward.
Could it be that this "expert" hadn’t come for the competition?
A shiver ran through her, and Xia Yinian instantly turned around and fled.
She thought being with a contestant would be safe, only to find her danger was omnipresent.
But clearly, this man had come with them from Ye City; was someone from Ye City planning to harm her?
But now, where was there time to clear her thoughts? Of course, the best plan was to escape.
No matter how fast she was, the man still blocked the entrance.
Such quick reflexes, he definitely wasn’t ordinary.
Before Xia Yinian could speak, a calm voice sounded from behind.
"Come here."
This voice stabilized Xia Yinian’s panicked and fearful heart.
Xia Yinian couldn’t react immediately; how could the person in the white coat possibly be Uncle?
But then, who could replicate such a pleasant voice?
Uncle... why was he here?
Just then, she really thought her own team member was colluding with those people, trying to abduct her once again.
Unexpectedly, the expert turned out to be Uncle’s man.
Xia Yinian blinked her eyes, barely catching her breath, then turned to look at the tall figure.
The door behind her opened and closed; when she turned back, the "expert" was gone, leaving only her and the man inside the room.
"Are you... really Uncle?" Seeing his silhouette, Xia Yinian was ninety-eight percent certain.
However, concerning her life and death, she had to be obedient and look at the situation clearly.
After all, the man seemed to be busy still, looking as though the previous words hadn’t come from his mouth.
