Lu Shiyan's premonition grew increasingly ominous.
So he cautiously asked Jiang Li, "What's the matter? Where are you going?"
“Oh, the archaeologists discovered an ancient tomb,” Jiang Li explained to Lu Shiyan with a smile. “The tomb is a bit eerie, so the archaeologists sought help from the Metaphysics Association, and that's why they want me to go there…”
After all, the situation there is unclear, so under normal circumstances, it would be necessary to find a senior and capable person to go there.
However, most of the capable people in the association are very busy.
They're always running around and can't be seen, so there's no time to spare for them.
Jiang Li's abilities are beyond question, but many people don't know her well and therefore don't know her capabilities. It was Gu Tao who overruled the objections and insisted on sending Jiang Li.
Before Jiang Li could even agree, some members of the Metaphysics Association protested against her sudden arrival.
Jiang Li was too lazy to join in the fun and refused outright.
Since they don't believe her, and someone wants to go, then let them go.
Anyway, she's not the type of person who likes to compete for credit or gain.
but……
With Jiang Li not going, and the Metaphysics Association still lacking a suitable and trustworthy candidate, they are currently in the midst of an urgent search for someone.
Even though he couldn't find a particularly suitable person, Gu Tao would still bother Jiang Li from time to time. What if, before he found someone, Jiang Li got tired of it and finally agreed to the relationship?
Gu Tao's idea was indeed correct...
However, this time it wasn't because Jiang Li was annoyed and agreed, but because she felt she needed to figure some things out, so she decided to leave for a while.
This is a perfect opportunity.
Gu Tao was incredibly excited when he received Jiang Li's reply.
He even confirmed with Jiang Li several times.
After confirming that Jiang Li had indeed agreed, Gu Tao, an old man, was so happy he almost jumped for joy.
This person has finally agreed.
If she still doesn't agree, I'll have to send a few people I'm not sure about over there tomorrow.
In that case...
It can easily cause injury or death.
As soon as Jiang Li agreed, he immediately booked the plane tickets and sent her the itinerary.
Having obtained the itinerary, Jiang Li proudly waved it at Lu Shiyan, "See? I really do have something to do; I'm leaving tomorrow."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
"Please don't say anything like you're going to come with me." Jiang Li glanced at Lu Shiyan, knowing what he was thinking, and then coldly and ruthlessly shattered his thoughts. "The place I'm going to is probably some remote mountain forest without even internet access. If you really come with me, the company won't be able to find you if something happens."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
"Besides, I only agreed to this in order to avoid you. Do you think I would let you come with me?" Jiang Li asked confidently.
Lu Shiyan: "..."
Okay...
As long as Jiang Jiang is happy.
"Ayan, don't be upset." Jiang Li patted his shoulder again with a serious expression. "Maybe I'll figure things out during this time, and when I come back, you'll have a girlfriend?"
The implication is that if Jiang Li comes to her senses, Lu Shiyan might become a person with a formal title.
Lu Shiyan's eyes lit up, and he asked somewhat uncertainly, "Jiang Jiang, are you telling the truth?"
Would I lie to you?
"Then..." Lu Shiyan thought for a moment and continued to ask, "How long are you going to be gone?"
How long will it take him to have a sweet and soft girlfriend?
I'll think about my wife for now.
Having a girlfriend would be fine too.
"It's hard to say." Jiang Li shook her head. "According to the information Mr. Gu gave me before, if there are no major problems, it will take at least half a month. If the situation is more complicated... it would be good if he could come back before the start of the semester."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
Suddenly I feel that I don't need this title.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, so I need to buy some equipment for tomb raiding today. Don't bother me while I'm doing my work." Jiang Li nudged Lu Shiyan. "There's breakfast on the table. Hurry up and eat it before you go to work. Don't follow me!"
"You haven't had breakfast either, aren't you going to eat?" Lu Shiyan asked immediately.
"Mr. Gu has thoughtfully arranged for someone to prepare breakfast for me and is waiting for me at the destination." After saying that, Jiang Li ran out first.
Going into tombs is different from catching ghosts; it requires specialized equipment.
Jiang Li isn't good at this, so...
You can only ask someone to take you shopping.
certainly……
The metaphysics association pays for it, so she doesn't need to spend a penny of her own money. In addition, she can get a bonus if she completes the task.
Hmm...
It's actually pretty good when you think about it.
Jiang Li left in a hurry.
Lu Jiming had been waiting in front of the elevator, and when he finally saw it stop above his floor, he knew...
Those two should be done arguing.
So Lu Jiming immediately pressed the elevator button, intending to have a chance encounter with the people inside.
The elevator doors opened, and inside was Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's expression didn't look good, which made Lu Jiming feel uneasy.
"Jiang Li, you..."
Before Lu Jiming could even ask a question, Gong Yu grabbed him and dragged him back to his residence.
During the process, he didn't forget to greet Jiang Li, "You go ahead and do your work. I'm taking this brat back to study. I don't know where he got the courage to try to slack off! I'm going to double his training later."
Jiang Li cast a sympathetic glance at Lu Jiming through the gap as the elevator doors slowly closed.
"Master, why won't you let me talk to Jiang Li?" Lu Jiming asked anxiously. "Didn't you see Jiang Li's expression? She must have been angered by Uncle and ran away from home. What if she breaks up with Uncle and doesn't live here anymore?"
"Don't worry about it so much." Gong Yu rolled his eyes at him. "This is none of your business."
"But……"
"But what 'but'? Have you finished memorizing all the books I gave you?" Gong Yu asked with a stern face.
Lu Jiming: "..."
No, not at all.
"You can't even handle your own affairs, yet you're meddling in other people's business. Where do you get the leisure and energy?" Gong Yu said irritably, then tossed a book to Lu Jiming, "Memorize it within three days."
Lu Jiming: "..."
Let him go.
He really felt like he was going to die before he could carry all that stuff.
Under Gong Yu's watchful eye, Lu Jiming, filled with grief and indignation, picked up his book and began to memorize it. Later, taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet, he secretly sent a message to his uncle, asking what exactly was going on between the two of them.
As a result, the message disappeared without a trace, as if it had vanished into thin air.
Lu Jiming refused to believe it and sent another message to Jiang Li.
As it turned out, whether or not the two of them had agreed on something, neither of them paid any attention to him.
Perhaps they felt his question was so ridiculous that it made them lose all interest in answering it.
that's all……
Lu Jiming was driven nearly mad by the questions lurking in his heart...
When he finally had some free time the next day to go see Jiang Li...
I just realized...
There was no one at home.
When he called Jiang Li again, her phone was switched off!
Lu Jiming: "!!!"
No way?
Jiang Li and her uncle have fallen out. Is she even turning off her phone now?
Lu Jiming was extremely anxious and wanted to warn his uncle, but well...
He could only exclaim, "Wow!"
My uncle's phone is off too!
Did these two agree on this?
Did you agree to turn off your phones and not contact each other?
Or perhaps...
Is it simply a matter of not contacting him?
