Chapter 1035: The Person Who Promised to Come Did Not Come

“This is a proud student of Professor Liang Lu. He has a good relations.h.i.+p with her. This time, it was all thanks to Professor Liang Lu and Professor Tian who contacted this student. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for us to hand the information to the Arbitration Council.”

“Okay.” Qiao Nian only lifted her eyes when she heard this. The phone in her hand buzzed twice. A message had arrived.

She did not look at it immediately and only glanced at it from the corner of her eye.

Slim Waist Control’s notification.

He was asking if she was joking about coming to the illegal district yesterday and what time the plane was. There was also a lot of nonsense and memes.

Qiao Nian did not reply for the time being. She put down her phone and leaned back on the sofa, then picked up the coffee on the table and took a small sip.

The coffee refreshed her. She took a few sips and was finally not that sleepy anymore.

However, she did not sleep well last night. There were many people on the plane, so she did not sleep either. At most, she closed her eyes for a few hours, which was equivalent to not sleeping. Therefore, she pulled up the hood of her sweater and placed her arm straight on the armrest of the sofa. She sat there diagonally and nestled in it, looking as lazy as if she was on a holiday.

Other than Tian Jing, the other three professors of Qing University had heard of Qiao Nian’s t.i.tle as the Newcomer King of the Chinese Medicine Faculty. They were quite curious about her.

Seeing that she was quiet along the way, they had a good impression of her.

…

…

Coincidentally, Tian Jing, who had gone out to make a call, returned at this time.

Her serious expression was not good. Her face was dark as she held her phone and walked over with big steps like the wind.

Seeing her expression, everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but sink.

“Professor Tian, how is it?” Liang Conglin stood up first and asked her.

“Not good!”

Tian Jing picked up the coffee on the table and gulped it down. She then placed the cup on the table with a livid expression and a dark expression and said quickly and anxiously, “Shen Hui asked us to wait for now. He doesn’t have time to come over for the time being. He said he’s receiving a very important guest.”

Shen Hui was a Qing University student.

Liang Lu majored in the Clinical Department, while Tian Jing majored in the Computing Faculty.

Other than being Liang Lu’s student, Shen Hui was also Tian Jing’s favorite student.

She was filled with confidence when she came to the illegal district this time, certain that her student would definitely be able to help.

In the end, she had to call him a few times before he was willing to answer. After picking up the call, he had also refused. She had tried everything to persuade him, but he only vaguely asked them to wait.

However, no matter how long she waited, the other party did not give her an accurate answer at all.

Liang Conglin did not expect this to happen, either. He frowned and held his forehead with a headache. He pursed his lips and asked the key question, “He didn’t say when he would be able to come over?”

Tian Jing couldn’t stand it anymore. She turned her head away, her expression turning even uglier. “… He didn’t say.”

Another professor couldn’t help but say, “Then, can we only sit here and wait? How long will we have to wait?”

After all, it wasn’t a matter of whether they were willing to wait here or not. It was just that if they didn’t hurry up and give the evidence to the Arbitration Council, after the time was over, this evidence would undoubtedly become a pile of waste paper. It was useless to take it.

“What else can we do? We don’t know anyone from the Arbitration Council!” Tian Jing was furious from the questioning and felt even more embarra.s.sed. She picked up her phone and stood up. “… I’ll call Professor Liang again and see if she can speak to him. If not, we can only contact Jiang Xianrou. Shen Hui has a good relations.h.i.+p with her.”
