Shen Xingzhou leaned over and fastened her seat belt, “Send you to the research institute?”

"Hmm..." Fu Xiao still looked at him, "I forgot to ask you yesterday, you were away for so long this afternoon, what did Dad ask you to do..."

He looked at her and spoke slowly: "I went to see my uncle..."

Fu Xiao paused, "Oh...why didn't you tell me..."

Shen Xingzhou reached out with one hand and touched her head, “Be good...don’t think too much.”

She curled her lips: "I didn't think much about it."

"Actually, I should go with you..."

She spoke the last sentence in a very light tone, but Shen Xingzhou heard it, and he whispered, “There will be opportunities in the future.”

As he was talking, they arrived at the research institute. Fu Xiao looked at him and said, "I don't know how long the meeting will take. You should go and do your own thing first. If I finish early, I will ask the guard to take me home..."

"Okay, I understand..."

After attending the meeting, she followed Chen Tingxu to the dean's office again.

After listening to what Chen Tingxu said, Fu Xiao frowned: "I will be the captain?"

"right..."

She shook her head, "Grandpa Chen, I don't understand the process...Also, although I am familiar with experiments, I am too young in diplomacy..."

Ye Changgeng also helped to speak up, "Yes, she has such a good brain, she needs to remember things when she goes there. If you let her be the captain, she will have to take care of this and that, which is a waste of her time..."

Chen Tingxu looked at the two and said with a smile: "You two are really interesting, master and disciple. We are going there to exchange and learn. There are people in charge of diplomacy. Why are you in such a hurry? You don't think that only people from our research institute are going there this time..."

Fu Xiao still looked reluctant, she was afraid of trouble.

"Since you don't want to, then find someone else."

He looked at Fu Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao, you have to know your own limits."

Fu Xiao nodded, "I understand... I will definitely not let us suffer any loss."

Chen Tingxu smiled when he heard this.

"There's nothing else to do. We just need to wait for the 16th to set off..."

.....

Country M.

Xie Nanzhou pushed open the door of the study and looked at the man who was writing at the desk.

"Shao Yu...your sister...may be coming..."

Fu Shaoyu dropped the pen in his hand and looked up in disbelief: "Brother Nanzhou, what did you tell her?"

"Don't worry, I didn't say anything..."

Xie Nanzhou came over and helped him sit down. "The Chinese Research Institute is coming here to exchange and study. I saw a list from Dr. Weiss, and her name is on it..."

Fu Shaoyu was silent for a while before asking softly, "She also knows research?"

"That should be it,"

They had limited manpower in the country, and Fu Shaoyu was only concerned about how she was doing and how her family treated her, so he didn't check other aspects.

"When will it arrive?"

"One week later..."

Fu Shaoyu paused again, and said calmly: "She will come...she will probably stay at the consulate...she won't come to Xie's house."

Xie Nanzhou frowned: "You don't see her?"

Fu Shaoyu was silent. His eyes flickered, and in his eyes, as deep as a cold pond, there seemed to be countless emotions surging, so complicated and subtle that it was difficult to see a single detail.

Xie Nanzhou looked at the stubborn man and thought to himself: As long as you can bear it.

......

Fu Xiao accompanied Mr. Mu and Grandpa Fu for a few days, and originally wanted to spend more time with them before going to Country M.

As a result, the two of them actually wanted to travel together and even wanted to chase her away.

"What do you mean?"

Mr. Mu coughed lightly and said, "Well, go back to your home..."

Her eyes widened: "Isn't this my home?"

Grandpa Fu touched his nose and said, "Oh, kid, why are you being so picky? We are going out for a while and we don't know when we will be back. Is it appropriate for you to stay here alone? It's time to go home."

Fu Xiao pouted in grievance: "But I'm going to Country M in two days, and you two are not going to send me off?"

"Well, we may not be able to come back..."

Mr. Mu waved his hand casually, "Anyway, we have Xingzhou following you, so we don't have to worry. Just be careful."

Grandpa Fu also waved his hand, "Okay, go back to your own home tonight, we will leave in the afternoon."

Seeing that both of them had made arrangements, Fu Xiao looked at them with amusement, "A few guards following them?"

"one..."

She shook her head. "No, two... plus a driver."

Mr. Mu hesitated and wanted to say something, but when he saw that Fu Xiao had already gone to make the arrangements, he shut up.

Fu Xiao found it a little funny. The two old people were like little kids now, and whatever they said was what they did.

But they are still strong enough, so if they want to go out for a walk, then go ahead; Fu Xiao won't stop them.

But it takes some planning.

She went to find Mr. Mu's guards and told them to follow them closely.

He turned back to look at Grandpa Mu and said, "How about letting Grandpa Liu follow as well?"

"No, it's just the two of us. He's not as healthy as I am right now, and I don't know who will take care of whom..."

"Okay, then we must bring two guards."

While the two old men were discussing where to go first, Fu Xiao went upstairs and called Mu Lianshen to explain the situation.

Mu Lianshen responded gently: "I understand... I'll have someone arrange it."

"M country is cooperating with us a lot now, I am not worried about your safety, but if you want to do anything else, please discuss it with Shen Xingzhou. He has many ideas. If you can't handle it, contact me."

"Okay, I see, Dad. By the way, why are you in such a hurry to go back to the Northwest? Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing serious, but there are a lot of things on hand."

Fu Xiao nodded. "Oh, okay. You can be busy, but don't forget to take a rest."

Mu Lianshen chuckled: "Yeah, I know."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, said goodbye and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Mu Lianshen's face slowly faded.

There seemed to be darkness, loneliness, desolation and despair in his eyes, but there was no light at all.

He was completely different from the man who had just spoken to Fu Xiao.

Wei Xue Ze, who was standing opposite him, frowned. He...

Before I could worry or ask, the man opposite me raised his eyes and asked, "Is anyone here?"

"Here it comes..."

Mu Lianshen stood up and said, "Then let's go and take a look..."

Wei Xue Ze shook his head, then followed him out.
