Chapter 454: Don’t Be an Accomplice

The next day, Gao Qianqian appeared at the door of Kong Xiyan's laboratory dressed in a decent professional elite outfit.

Kong Xiyan yawned and saw her: "Hey, you're taking a walk alone today~"

"You know my purpose." Gao Qianqian raised the corner of her lips and smiled: "I came here for your experimental project."

"Then you should know my answer." Kong Xiyan looked at Gao Qianqian: "Bye~"

After saying this, Kong Xiyan was about to open the door and go in, but Gao Qianqian raised her hand to stop her.

"Give me half a day, no, just an hour will be fine." Gao Qianqian looked at Kong Xiyan: "I will show you my sincerity in cooperating!"

"It's useless. Your sincerity can't move me." Kong Xiyan looked at Gao Qianqian's hand blocking her way and said, "You should be busy with something else."

"How can you be sure it doesn't work if you don't let me try?" Gao Qianqian asked her puzzled.

"Come here." Kong Xiyan took Gao Qianqian to a nearby fountain, stood on the edge of the fountain and said, "It's going to snow next week."

"What do you mean?" Gao Qianqian didn't understand.

"Tell me, should I jump in now?" Kong Xiyan asked Gao Qianqian while looking at the cold water.

"Huh?" Gao Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "You won't."

"Yeah, I can't." Kong Xiyan then looked at Gao Qianqian and smiled. "One look and you'll know the water is icy cold. You know how painful it would be to jump in and have your clothes stick to you. And then when the cold wind blows..."

Just thinking about it made Kong Xiyan shudder.

Gao Qianqian also frowned.

"Then tell me, why would I do something when I know the consequences will be bad?" Kong Xiyan's smile remained unchanged. "Because of your sincerity? Just because you're sincere, should I jump into the abyss with my eyes closed?"

Gao Qianqian's eyes moved slightly, and her face seemed a little embarrassed.

"You said you had no choice, so you tried to get the skin of a tiger." Kong Xiyan's eyes darkened. "Now, you still want to tell me you have no choice, right?"

Gao Qianqian's face turned red and white: "Yeah."

She really had no choice. She knew it the moment she saw Gao Chengyi appear in the living room.

She must get this cooperation.

"Have you ever heard of a phrase? It's called being an accomplice to a tiger." Kong Xiyan raised her hand and patted Gao Qianqian's shoulder: "Be a good person while you can. Once you become an accomplice to a tiger, it won't be so easy to be a good person again."

After saying this, Kong Xiyan turned around and left, wrapping her coat around herself.

The weather is indeed getting cooler.

Gao Qianqian listened to Kong Xiyan's words and clenched her fists at her side. She looked at Kong Xiyan's back, then looked at the cold fountain. She made up her mind and jumped into the fountain pool.

The water was just as Kong Xiyan described, icy cold.

The moment she jumped in, she clearly felt her heart tighten, and her skin felt a stinging pain wherever it touched the water.

The wet clothes stuck to her body, and the wind gave her goose bumps. She even found it difficult to make a sound.

He could only reluctantly and stubbornly turn around slowly and stiffly in the pool of icy water.

She wanted to see an expression of surprise on Kong Xiyan's face, and she hoped Kong Xiyan could feel her determination.

But she didn't see anything. The moment she turned around, a coat was thrown towards her and covered her head with the warm body temperature.

Then came a familiar voice: "So, we are really different."

Kong Xiyan threw the clothes on Gao Qianqian's head, covering her face so that she couldn't see the pity and helplessness in her eyes.

It's really not a pleasant feeling to watch others walk towards darkness step by step.

She couldn't bear it, but there was nothing she could do.

The master said that everyone has their own destiny and asked her not to interfere with other people's destinies.

Cause and effect will eventually pay off.

It’s the time and the fate.

Shaking her head, Kong Xiyan put her hands in her pockets and walked away.

When the wind blew, Kong Xiyan sneezed with a sound of "A-choo" and couldn't help muttering, "I hope I don't catch a cold, otherwise you can imagine how angry Yangyang and Shanshan will be, A-choo!"

Fortunately, the laboratory was warm, and as soon as she entered the room, she went to the office to make herself a cup of hot ginger tea to drive away the cold.

After checking the schedule and experimental progress, Kong Xiyan began to prepare.

Today, Luo Laosan's people will come to sign a contract with her. After that, as long as the school stamps it, the project will basically be finalized and the subsequent cooperation with Qin will be carried out.

This is a risky move.

Luo Laosan, this kid is sometimes even crazier than her.

Kong Xiyan chuckled, tapped her fingertips on the keyboard, and began the next experimental calculation.

There was a key node in the experiment, which Kong Zhishan had failed to overcome after many experiments, so she had to hand it back to her.

This part is indeed difficult to handle, and Kong Xiyan also needs to spend more time to perform multi-line calculations.

In the morning, Qin's representative came. Kong Xiyan signed the contract directly and submitted the documents to the school. She also personally supervised the review process. Within two days, this round of the process was completed.

"Thank you for your trust. Qin will never let you down. The funds will be transferred to your account in batches according to the stages of the contract. Please check it carefully. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us." The representative of Qin who came to sign the contract left after leaving these words.

After all, they still have to go back and catch up with the next process.

Today, the Qin family is very busy.

"Hello~" Kong Xiyan leaned against the door and yawned lazily.

After watching those people leave, Kong Xiyan prepared to go to the lounge to take a nap. No wonder the experiment that needed to be completed in the past two days really took up a lot of her time, and she felt a little sleepy.

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a female voice next to him: "Who are they? What did they mean just now? What is your relationship with them?!"

"Wow... why are you here?" Kong Xiyan turned to look at the person behind the door and was also startled. She was completely alert: "And your tone is too weird, isn't it? It makes me feel like I'm cheating!"

"I..." Gao Qianqian blushed upon hearing this. She stuffed a handbag into Kong Xiyan's arms and said, "I've washed your coat."

"Oh, this." Kong Xiyan responded, took the bag and said, "Don't jump into the water carelessly in the future. Wind is the root of all diseases, and dampness is the cause of all evil. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine mentioned it... Never mind, I guess you're not interested. Anyway, don't take advantage of your youth and do something reckless."

"I understand." Gao Qianqian glanced at the receding figure again, then looked away. She looked at Kong Xiyan unwillingly and asked her, "Did you... cooperate with them?"

"That's true." Kong Xiyan nodded: "You haven't given up yet, have you?"

"How could I possibly give up!" Gao Qianqian became anxious when she heard that Kong Xiyan had already cooperated with someone else: "You don't even know that he got Gao Chengyi out. If I don't get your cooperation, I... I might be forced to death by Gao Chengyi, I..."

"Oh, raising a Gu?" Kong Xiyan smiled and shook her head: "How sinister."

“…” Gao Qianqian’s expression changed again and again, and a feeling of unwillingness came over her heart.

"I'm not cooperating with you, nor am I cooperating with Gao Chengyi. As long as you don't lose, he won't give up on you." Kong Xiyan raised her wrist and glanced at the time on her watch: "Just put your heart in your stomach."

"How do you know what he's thinking?" Gao Qianqian's voice was muffled and a little unhappy.

"Of course I know." Kong Xiyan gave Gao Qianqian an extremely bright smile: "Because no one understands madmen better than me."

"..." Gao Qianqian looked at Kong Xiyan's smile, her eyes dazed for a moment. The next moment, seeing Kong Xiyan about to enter the laboratory, Gao Qianqian stepped forward and grabbed Kong Xiyan's arm: "I want to work with you!"

"Um?"
