"Why?" Jin Chu asked calmly, genuinely not understanding.

It has only been less than a month since the start of the new semester. Although there have been some ups and downs, he has never heard of Qin Sheng from Zuo Qionghua.

Then there would be no unknown contradictions.

So, what is the purpose?

Zuo Qionghua's face looked terrible, even worse than when she was in the lab.

She clenched her fists tightly, her red lips pressed together, and remained silent.

She didn't say anything, but Jin Chu gradually realized something from her unusual expression.

He looked at her quietly, then suddenly chuckled softly, "I see."

He didn't say anything more, took one last look at her, and then slowly turned away.

Zuo Qionghua's face turned deathly pale as he turned away.

Qin Sheng was busy for a long time.

Psychology courses, materials science courses, experiments in the gene lab, and the filming of the TV series "Mountains and Rivers, Bright Moon" which has been put back on the agenda.

Not to mention weekends, even rest time has been drastically reduced.

She stayed in the dormitory for six or seven out of ten days. In the entire month or so, Fu Jingheng saw her only a handful of times.

Full of sadness.

It was only after Su Jiu gave birth that she was able to spare an hour each day to give her acupuncture and prescribe medicine to help her recover.

Then Qin Sheng became even busier.

The days passed by in a flurry of activity, and before we knew it, more than half a month had gone by.

Mid-November.

Qin Sheng's scenes in "The Bright Moon Over Mountains and Rivers" have been filmed, and the entire production is nearing its end. It will be released soon after post-production and promotion.

The first phase of experiments in the gene lab has yielded initial results, so we can take a break for a while.

Qin Sheng took a week off to catch up on her sleep and spend some time with her mother and fiancé, who were already furious with her.

Unfortunately, fate didn't want her to rest.

On the third day, Qin Sheng received a special distress signal.

—An emergency distress signal from the Hunter Kings of the Hunter Alliance.

Code name: Dionysus.

Qin Sheng was half asleep when she suddenly received this message, which startled her so much that even the last trace of sleepiness and morning grumpiness disappeared.

He quickly put on his clothes and jumped off the bed.

While opening the Tianyu app, he also made a phone call to the Fu family's old residence.

It was Butler Fu who answered the phone.

Qin Sheng didn't have time for pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Where's Su Jiu? Isn't she at the old house?"

This was the first time Butler Fu had received a call from Qin Sheng, and he didn't react for a moment. It wasn't until Qin Sheng asked a second time that he suddenly came to his senses and immediately said, "The eldest young mistress has gone out."

Qin Sheng's brows furrowed even more, and her speech unconsciously quickened: "When did this happen? Where did they go?"

Butler Fu recalled, "The day before yesterday evening, she said her family had called several times, asking her to go back home. She should have gone back to the Su family."

The butler said somewhat uncertainly.

The Su family... impossible.

Given Su Jiu's abilities, even though she had just finished her postpartum confinement, the Su family could not possibly force her to send an emergency distress message to the Hunter King.

That's impossible.

Qin Sheng's thoughts raced as she continued, "Did she call back during that time? What about Brother Fu? Didn't he go out with her?"

Although Butler Fu could count the number of times he had seen Qin Sheng on two hands, in his limited memory, Qin Sheng had always been aloof, calm, and indifferent.

I've never experienced anything like this before, where I could sense such obvious tension just by listening to her voice.

Butler Fu couldn't help but feel nervous.

He immediately told her everything he knew, and as he spoke, he realized something was wrong.

"On November 7th, the eldest son received a call from the western project, saying that there was a problem with the project. The eldest son rushed over there. For the first three days, the eldest son's wife received a call every day, but then it stopped."

“The eldest young mistress suddenly said she was going away for a few days the day before yesterday evening, leaving the young master in the care of me and the nanny. Yesterday morning, a video call was made to the old man's phone, and there has been no news since then.”

Butler Fu knew nothing more.

He couldn't help but ask nervously, "Miss Qin, do you know something? Has something happened to the eldest young master and young mistress? If something really has happened, you must not risk your life. You must discuss it with the old master and the third young master."

Qin Sheng paused in her rapid typing, her dark eyes fixed on the computer screen, her voice gradually softening: "Don't worry, it's alright."

She quickly locked a location tracking program onto the found signal device, then closed her laptop, saying, "I have some things to do here, I'll hang up now."

"Greetings to the old man," Qin Sheng said softly.

Without waiting for a reply, he hung up the phone.

After thinking for a moment, she dialed Fu Jingheng's number.

But before I could even make the call, my phone rang.

It was Fu Jingheng calling.

Fu Jingheng's tone was unusually urgent as he said, "My elder brother has had an accident in the west. I need to go there. You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Sheng interrupted him: "I'll go with you."

She glanced at the time and continued, "Wait for me for twenty minutes."

Fu Jingheng frowned, thinking that he could just go, but before he could finish, the words that came out were: "Okay, once it's all taken care of, have Mo Huang take you to Mo's International. I've asked Mo Tian to arrange a helicopter to come over."

Qin Sheng responded and quickly hung up the phone.

I mainly have some things to take care of, and I also want to say hello to her parents.

The situation must have been quite urgent, so Qin Sheng didn't have time to explain in detail. She simply said hello and left home immediately.

Upon arriving at Mo's International, Fu Jingheng was already waiting on the rooftop helipad with a team of bodyguards. As soon as Qin Sheng and Mo Huangjiang arrived, everyone boarded the plane and took off.

Fu Jingheng took Qin Sheng's hand and sat down in the small cubicle at the very front.

Without saying much, he pressed the person down onto the small bed in the lounge and said seriously, "Don't worry about anything, just rest for a while. We'll talk about it and investigate after we get off the plane."

Qin Sheng looked up at her, and after a long while, responded softly.

She lay down using the strength in his hand, then shrank further into the bed, pulling Fu Jingheng's hand and saying, "Together."

Her dark eyes were calm and serene as she quietly watched him.

Fu Jingheng couldn't help but chuckle softly.

As she lay down, she sighed and said, "How about we do this: can I lie down again on the way back?"

Qin Sheng: ...Dream on.

Ignore him completely and close my eyes to rest.

Fu Jingheng chuckled to himself.

He pulled the person closer to him and adjusted them into a more comfortable position, while letting out another deep sigh.

What a great opportunity, it's such a pity...
