Chapter 273: Investigating that matter
"Stop talking and leave."
Tu Ran didn't have the patience to continue talking about these boring topics with her.
He waved his hand, perhaps his intention was too powerful.
That woman actually disappeared in an instant...
"Wife, wife."
A familiar voice came from his ears, and Tu Ran slowly opened his eyes.
"Are you dreaming?" Xie Nancheng asked.
"Um."
"Have you become the queen? I just heard you shout, 'Stand down.'"
Tu Ran: ...
"Hahaha, honey, why are you so cute?"
Seeing Xie Nancheng laughing at her, Tu Ran was so angry that she pushed him away.
Then he stood up and calmed down for a while before going to the living room to get a glass of water.
The living room was the same as always, there was no ghost, and no woman.
There's not even a hint of blood...
But the dream just now was so real.
He wasn't really scared, but Tu Ran always felt that this was more than just a dream.
The next morning
After breakfast, the couple started to get busy.
Xie Nancheng went to the group, and Tu Ran returned to school.
On the first day back at school, there were no classes scheduled, but some unimportant things were discussed.
Most of the students in the class are in groups of three or four.
Dong Xue and Mu Wanjun followed her all the time.
But Tu Ran was absent-minded all morning.
Mu Wanjun was just about to talk about what they were going to do together at noon when Tu Ran was called away by a phone call.
He was very mysterious and didn't say where he was going.
A dumpling restaurant near the university.
After Gu Xixing knew that Tu Ran liked eating dumplings, he was very willing to meet him in a dumpling restaurant.
Because he likes it too. As a northerner, noodles are king.
"I asked you out to tell you about the progress."
"Okay." Tu Ran held a cup of red date tea and drank it slowly.
Gu Xixing was wearing a dark grey coat, and he looked more like an international student than a president.
"Actually, I'm very sorry. The latest news we've received is that when your grandfather sent something, the courier switched it. He realized what a valuable item it was. After receiving it, he didn't know the value of it and sold it on the second-hand market. It's said that it was sold for 8,000 yuan."
"You sold it for eight thousand, idiot." Tu Ran was so angry that his liver hurt.
"Well, if you don't know the value of something, even the Ginseng King would be disappointed if you knew the value of something." Gu Xixing said.
"So the batch of things my grandfather sent me was tampered with. The medicinal materials remained the same, but the beads were gone."
"Well, the Lin family doesn't know about the beads." Gu Xixing was sure.
"It's really troublesome. It's better to stay at the Lin family." Tu Ran felt that the Lin family was easier to deal with, but now their whereabouts are unknown.
"The courier died of cancer a year ago. We only got a clue after speaking to his daughter. She wasn't very clear either, but she did mention that her father had sold some items at a second-hand antique market and brought back 8,000 yuan."
"Have you investigated the antique market?" Tu Ran asked.
"Well, I checked. The antique market is still there, but what's certain is that the beads are no longer on the second-hand antique market. I don't know how many hands they've passed through. It's said that the first buyer was a second-hand dealer named Jin Dawei. But he quickly sold it to a trader in L Province in Beijing."
"That dealer was quite famous, but unfortunately he was implicated in a tomb robbery a few years ago and is still serving his sentence. We are looking for someone to find a way to meet him and inquire about the whereabouts of the pearl."
"I'm also conflicted about whether or not to do this."
"Because if we go and ask this dealer, with such a big commotion, I'm afraid it will alert more people."
"He's serving his sentence. If we met once, it would definitely be recorded."
Tu Ran fell silent after hearing this...
Keep looking, or you'll definitely alert the enemy.
Don’t keep looking, Zhuzi will lose contact with you.
"Go ahead and look for it. Try not to make too much noise. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, just a piece of cake." Gu Xixing looked at Tu Ran gently.
"It costs a lot of money to open up these connections. I'll transfer the money to you."
"No, it's not much money."
"It's impossible that you don't have much money. Don't hide it from me."
"You really don't need to pay."
"I don't have much money right now. How about this, I help you develop a drug, okay?"
Gu Xixing looked at Tu Ran in surprise.
"I don't know how much your research and development costs, but I can help you develop a Chinese patent medicine that will definitely make your group famous."
"Just our exchange at that time, okay?"
"Tu Ran, you don't need to do this."
"But I don't want to owe anyone a favor." Tu Ran said bluntly.
"I don't want favors. Don't worry, I'm willing to help you."
"No, I don't feel at ease."
"That's settled, Mr. Gu. If you agree, please continue to help me look for it."
"If you don't agree with my proposal, I won't need your help. I plan to investigate on my own."
"I agree."
Gu Xixing could see that this girl was stubborn. If you don't agree, you probably won't have the chance to help her find beads in the future.
"Okay, then I'll give you the formula for the new product within a month. You can mass-produce it without clinical testing. What I can give you must have been tested by me and is harmless to the human body."
"I understand, I definitely trust you." Gu Xixing felt complicated.
He wanted to get close to Tu Ran, keep helping her, and slowly walk into her heart.
Now, before I even get help, people start helping me.
The research and development funds of his team sometimes even exceed 100 million yuan.
But Tu Ran could do it alone, and he didn't doubt her talent at all.
At this time, the dumplings were ready and the waiter brought them over.
It was steaming hot, and Gu Xixing looked at Tu Ran opposite him through the thin mist.
His eyes softened unconsciously.
On the first day of the new semester, Tu Ran wore only a white shirt and a light yellow handmade wool vest.
She wore a very ordinary black fishtail skirt and a long suit jacket.
She would never dress herself up to be outstanding and attract attention.
Always dress appropriately and comfortably.
But even such an ordinary outfit can make Gu Xixing's heart, which has not moved for many years, stir.
In fact, during the Chinese New Year period, he missed her many times.
But there was no reason to meet her, and I didn’t even dare to say too much on WeChat, for fear that she would be sensitive.
Gu Xixing was so cautious because he wanted to protect this hard-earned friendship.
Although we are just friends now, but... who knows what will happen in the future?
"Tu Ran, there is one more thing I think I need to tell you."
"Hmm?" Tu Ran raised his head.
"When we were investigating the matter of the beads, we found that Xie Nancheng was also investigating the matter."
After hearing this, Tu Ran was obviously stunned.
