Chapter 5464 Sister Nian still came to see Zhou Xuxing
Half an hour later.
Quentin completed the formalities, walked her through the process, took her to the front of a visiting room, and pointed at the clock on the wall. He said in a deep voice: "You have 15 minutes to meet. If you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible. Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. There is surveillance inside."
“OK.”
The girl was about to walk in lazily, but she stopped halfway, tilted her head slightly, and whispered softly without looking back.
"Thanks."
Quentin snorted: "You actually said thank you to me."
The girl laughed lightly: "Should I take it back?"
Quentin was too lazy to talk to her, and said solemnly: "I'm not helping you. The Sixth Continent and the Hidden World Family can't be partners. If you have the guts to go against the Sixth Continent, I'm happy to see what happens. Just give it a push."
“Oh, it turns out it’s for the hidden family.” The girl’s eyes were jagged and she said with a bit of regret in her tone: “I thought you were here for Xu Yi.”
Quentin narrowed his eyes with danger hidden in them, then suppressed them and became helpless: "He...has his own ideas, and I can't control him."
Quentin was injured in his early years and lost his fertility long ago.
Xu Yi is his only son, but he doesn't share the same mind with him. He is not willing to return to the hidden family and insists on staying at the First Research Institute.
Still trusts her.
“Sometimes I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup you poured into him. He refused to walk on the road I paved for him and insisted on soaking in those bottles and jars.”
“He pursues something different from you.”
"Humph, pursuit? He is just too young and has never experienced hardship..." When Quentin said this, he didn't know what he thought of and his face darkened, and he couldn't continue.
It was impossible for Qiao Nian to tell him about the 'Faded One' and the 'things' hidden in Ji Qing's USB flash drive, so she waved her hand and stopped talking to him.
“I’m in.”
Quentin watched her open the door of the visiting room and her figure disappeared into the door.
Qiao Nian entered the room and saw that there was only a table and two chairs in a room of less than ten square meters. On one of the chairs sat a tense and haggard man.
She walked over, pulled out the chair opposite and sat down. She put her hands on the table and spoke first to break the quiet atmosphere in the visiting room.
“Hello, Dr. Zhou, my name is Qiao Nian.”
"you…"
Zhou Xuxing was still wearing the same clothes when he was taken away. He had not showered or changed clothes for several days. His hair was messy and curled up, and his clothes were wrinkled like pickles.
Fortunately, his eyes were still clear, but the skin under his eyelids was dull and his lips were slightly chapped and dehydrated.
“Are you from China?”
Of course he knew that Qiao Nian was from country Z. Qiao Nian's black hair and eyes were enough to explain everything, but Zhou Xuxing didn't expect that the person he was allowed to visit for the first time was such a young girl.
He thought it would be a domestic lawyer or someone with some status.
Qiao Nian’s age really doesn’t look like someone who would appear here.
“How did you get in?”
Zhou Xuxing was really curious.
“They allowed you to come to see me?”
Qiao Nian leaned back in his chair, raised his eyes scornfully, and interrupted him to ask a question: "We don't have much time, so I'll ask it. Can you answer it?"
“…” Zhou Xuxing was stunned.
She then explained: "I am a person sent from the country, and I am also the person in charge of your case this time. You can trust me completely."
Zhou Xuxing was dubious, and secretly made up his mind that if Qiao Nian asked him a sensitive question, he would avoid answering or just pass it by.
