After school in the afternoon, Zeng Zhongkang came to Zhang Hongmei's classroom again and took her to the laboratory before the three of them rode their bikes home.

"Where's Hongmei?" Wang Xinyi asked them, puzzled, as she didn't see Zhang Hongmei.

"He went to the lab to experience it."

"What time should we pick her up? Right now, only the three of you can get home at a normal time."

“Aunt Wang, I’ll drive to pick her up in two hours. She told me the car keys are on the bedside table in the bedroom.”

"Okay, I'll go get your car keys." Wang Xinyi still didn't like men going into her room.

"Xinyi, let's eat first. There's still plenty of time, no need to rush."

"Okay, Yunfang, just cook some porridge for Hongmei tonight. Pickle some celery and she won't eat anything else. If she's hungry, make her some egg pancakes."

"I understand, Sister Wang. Don't worry."

"Ahem! I wonder when Haozheng and Xinyue will be back?"

"Why bother with them? They won't go hungry, so you don't need to worry about them."

"That's all we can do. It's good for young people to pursue their careers, and I won't hold them back."

Cheng Guangxu was unusually quiet today. "Uncle Zhao, Wyattroy said today that our students are excellent, which might cause us more trouble when we go back."

Zhao Tiancheng had neither experienced nor heard of this incident, but now that he thinks about it, he also feels that such a thing might happen.

"Let's wait until Hongmei comes back before discussing this. I really haven't considered this kind of issue before."

Also, let's not let anyone else know about this. Let's discuss it together, otherwise it might cause panic.

All three nodded. Wang Xinyi was indeed anxious, and her eyes involuntarily reddened. "Brother Zhao, is it really going to happen like this?"

"Xinyi, don't overthink it. Let's wait for Hongmei to come back before we talk about anything else."

At this moment, Zhang Hongmei was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, looking at Laboratory No. 1 and finding everything new and exciting.

The professor stayed by her side the whole time, and seeing the beautiful young girl's admiring expression, he felt extremely satisfied.

"So, what do you think of this lab? Is it suitable?"

"Professor, this is not a question of whether it is possible, this is wonderful."

"Hehe, that's what I think too."

Zhang Hongmei: Is it really okay to be so arrogant?

"Professor, what are we researching now?"

"We are working on improving the computing speed of computers and trying to write languages."

"Oh, I see! That's amazing!" Flattery never fails; just keep praising the professor!

"Hehe, you can be one of them too. Nobody uses that computer, so you can try it out. You can do anything, even review your lessons today."

"Okay, Professor." Zhang Hongmei sat down at the computer and typed rapidly. This was really quite ordinary.

After listening to Wyattroy's words, Zhang Hongmei decided to keep her abilities hidden from now on, as she still wanted to go home and didn't want any trouble to arise.

She actually reviewed what she had learned that day. An hour later, after finishing her review, she checked the time and realized that Zeng Zhongkang couldn't possibly come over now. So she stood up, strolled behind the others, and watched what they were doing.

Those with good manners ignored her, while others simply told Zhang Hongmei to leave.

I spent an hour looking around, and their skill level seemed only average. So why are they so arrogant?

It seems I really can't be so high-profile anymore. Before, when I was at home, if I was high-profile, people would be jealous or slander me. But now that I'm out in public, it's better to play dumb.

The professor was also in the lab. He watched the little girl walk around for a bit, not lingering anywhere. Did she not understand?

Did I overestimate her?

Zhang Hongmei sat down at the computer again and started typing away. Some people stood up and told her to be quiet.

Hehe, that's the effect I wanted. The person who reprimanded her sat down, and Zhang Hongmei became obedient, sitting there in a daze. She was afraid that Zeng Zhongkang wouldn't come if she went out earlier; it was really cold outside, so she decided to wait here.

After three hours, I finally stood up and went to the professor's side.

"Professor, I have to leave. My family is waiting for me at the school gate."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Zhang Hongmei finally let out a long sigh of relief after getting into the car.

"What's wrong?"

“Zeng Zhongkang, it’s just the two of us here. I have something to tell you.”

"Go ahead, I'm listening."

“We have to keep a low profile now, we can’t act like we do at home. Otherwise, I’m worried that what Wyattroy said might actually come true.”

“That’s what I think too, and Zhao Tiancheng thinks the same way. They’re all waiting for you to go back and discuss it, and they don’t want anyone else to know.”

"Yes, there's no need for everyone to worry; it would really cause panic."

"Zhang Hongmei, what if that day really comes?"

Zhang Hongmei shook her head. "I don't know either. We need to think of a way in advance. We can't smuggle ourselves back. That would be too shameful and would be a stain on our reputation."

"I don't know, but just give the order if you need my help."

"Hmm, let's think of a way slowly. Can we let Carlos McKen know about this?"

Zeng Zhongkang fell silent. Zhang Hongmei knew that she had asked the question in vain. In fact, what she was most worried about was the McCann family. Every advantage has its disadvantage.

It's really a difficult situation. I'm currently considering whether or not to let Zhang Shouyi know.

But I'm not as smart as him. I'll leave this to him to figure out!

After returning home, Zhao Haozheng and the others also came back. Shen Yunfang prepared the same meal for all four of them.

Zhang Hongmei couldn't eat, but she drank a bowl of porridge because she was afraid that Wang Xinyi, who was watching her with concern, would nag.

Zhao Tiancheng stayed by Wang Xinyi's side, trying to soothe his wife's anxiety.

Wang Xinyi was genuinely worried. Everyone else was fine, but Hongmei's identity was a problem. She knew Shouyi's temper to some extent, and if his wife was detained here, she didn't know what he might do.

Zhang Hongmei returned to the living room. Sitting down next to Wang Xinyi, she patted her hand and said, "Aunt Wang, don't worry. This hasn't happened yet. Since we knew about this possibility in advance, we can prepare accordingly."

"Really? Is that really true?"

Don't worry. There won't be any problems.

Zhao Tiancheng thought to himself, this girl is truly rare. In fact, she should be the one who is most worried and afraid, but she can still smile and reassure the people around her.

By this time, Zhao Haozheng and his two friends had finished eating, and the two girls stayed in the kitchen to help clean up. This made Zhao Haozheng feel too embarrassed to come out alone.
