Seemingly noticing the surprise and confusion on Su Miaoyan's face, Professor Xue said with a smile, "Little Su, it's not just me who wants you to come to the research institute, but also Old Man Yan, Old Man Li, and Old Man Lin, they all want you to come too."

Upon hearing this, Su Miaoyan instantly knew that her guess was correct.

She shook her head. "I never thought that my identity, which was initially hated by everyone, would become so sought after now."

Professor Xue and Song Zhenzhu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but smile upon hearing this. Even Lu Ting was amused by his wife's teasing words.

Shen Mingzhi, standing next to him, also had a smile on his face for some reason.

Su Miaoyan always felt that Shen Mingzhi seemed to want to wait until she entered the research institute before making a move against her.

As for why she took action, Su Miaoyan could vaguely guess the reason.

At this moment, Professor Xue walked to Su Miaoyan's side, his gaze shifting back and forth between Su Miaoyan and Lu Ting. Although Su Miaoyan was puzzled, she did not speak.

After about half a minute, Professor Xue said, "Xiao Su, I might have to trouble you to come with me next."

Su Miaoyan asked, puzzled, "What are you doing here?"

At this moment, Song Zhenzhu smiled and said, "To enter the research institute, you need to sign a confidentiality agreement."

Su Miaoyan suddenly realized that she had forgotten such an important thing.

"good."

Professor Xue opened the curtain. "Xiao Su, let's go."

Su Miaoyan nodded, and as she turned around, she glanced at Lu Ting. Lu Ting nodded back to her, and Su Miaoyan smiled before turning away with peace of mind.

At the same time, in the family compound.

After Su Miaoyan unlocked the "Pets" option, the bees in her courtyard buzzed incessantly. One by one, the bees emerged from the hive and flew in the azure sky, eventually forming a huge swarm of bees.

They didn't stay in one place for long, but instead flew off in one direction.

If Su Miaoyan were present, she would definitely be able to tell that the direction the bee swarm was flying towards was precisely the research institute where Su Miaoyan was located.

After waiting for five minutes under the window without seeing anyone, Shi and Yu, upon returning to their unit, began to think about when the two would meet next.

He held a gun, stood ramrod straight, and wore a special forces uniform.

As the afternoon sunlight gradually faded, just as Shi and Yu and the other four arrived at the hour and were about to change shifts, a buzzing sound came from afar.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Heyu saw a dense, overwhelming mass of dark shadows sweeping out, as if they had caught a whiff of something unique, and targeting Shi Heyu in the crowd.

"What, what's going on?"

In the crowd, someone asked this question.

One soldier's eyes lit up with alarm. "It's bees! Everyone, let's get out of here! I'll go report to the captain!"

However, just as the other five were about to leave, the person who had just spoken saw that the bees coming towards him actually avoided him.

Ignoring him, they instead bent down towards the others in the crowd and rushed over.

But it seems... it seems to be targeting only one person.

One soldier thought he was going to be stung, but the same thing happened to the soldier who had just been stung.

The bee simply flew past him, completely ignoring him.

Immediately afterwards, the other five soldiers stood still and saw the bee fly towards one of them.

Shi Heyu was running towards the building next door when, halfway there, a buzzing sound swept over him, and a dense mass of black shadows loomed over him. Looking at the shadows on the ground, Shi Heyu couldn't help but swallow.

My blood seemed to freeze, rushing straight to the top of my head.

Shi Heyu slowly turned around, and immediately a swarm of bees swarmed over him, enveloping him.

At this moment, Captain Zhou heard the commotion and rushed over. When he saw a figure surrounded by bees, he frowned.

"Quickly, send someone to borrow a fire!"

Captain Zhou quickly gave the two orders, and they moved swiftly, instantly running from their spot to the canteen not far from the research institute.

Fortunately, the soldiers on duty were all wearing special duty uniforms, so only their hands, face, and neck were exposed.

Therefore, Shi and Yu only have these three positions, and they suffer the most attacks.

Of course, the bees were clearly not there to harm him.

It's more like... searching for something.

At this moment, Su Miaoyan, who was signing a confidentiality agreement with Professor Xue, heard a cry from the depths of her soul.

That is...

[A "pet" has been discovered, a domesticated bee. Did the owner tame it and bring it into the space to be kept?]

Domesticated bees?

Su Miaoyan signed her name, looked at the contract from left to right, but couldn't see any bees anywhere.

Seeing her standing there in a daze, holding the contract for a long time, Professor Xue couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Su, what's wrong? Is there a problem with this contract?"

Su Miaoyan snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "Since it was Professor Xue who gave me the contract, there must be no problem. I trust Professor Xue."

Professor Xue asked in confusion, "Then... are you thinking about something?"

Su Miaoyan felt that what she had just sensed might just be an illusion.

She said, "No, I was just thinking that once I join the research institute, I'll be very busy!"

Professor Xue paused, his gaze becoming meaningful. "Xiao Su, don't worry about that. As long as it doesn't involve important research findings, we'll still leave work on time."

"Moreover, our research institute doesn't have specific regulations regarding working hours. It all depends on your own passion for research and enthusiasm!"

Su Miaoyan instantly understood Professor Xue's meaning: she could decide her own working hours.

After completing the most basic tasks, the remaining time is up to you.

Su Miaoyan was happy.

The assistant shouldn't have much work; she shouldn't be so busy that she doesn't even have enough time to enter the space, right?

However, before she could rejoice for long, the cry from the depths of her soul came again.

It seemed as if some unseen force was guiding her, leading her out.

Su Miaoyan put down the contract in her hand and handed it to Professor Xue. "Professor Xue, listen, there seems to be some noise outside. Let's go down and take a look!"

Professor Xue asked in confusion, "A voice?"

How come he didn't hear anything?

However, Xiao Su probably wouldn't lie. Professor Xue put the contract away and immediately followed Su Miaoyan out.

However, just as she was going downstairs, as her gaze swept over Lu Ting, Song Zhenzhu, and Shen Mingzhi, Su Miaoyan saw a familiar face in front of them.

It was Shi Heyu lying on the ground, his hands full of large bags!
