2489 You’re Here in Country M. When Did You Arrive?
It was difficult to book a room in this hotel.

The last time Qiao Nian came to stay here, she found it troublesome, so she did not take the trouble to book a suite and stayed in an ordinary standard room instead.

Ji Lin quickly settled the check-in procedures for the four rooms and returned with the room cards. He handed them to the four of them.

Then, he got the bellboy to carry their luggage. He led the way with ease. “Master Wang, Miss Qiao, this way. The hotel has a special elevator on the top floor where you stay. You can use it by using your room card.”

Ji Lin demonstrated to them.

Ding.

The elevator door opened.

Ji Lin let Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan in first before following them.

After everyone got into the elevator, he pressed the button for the top floor.

The elevator went up very quickly.

Soon, they arrived at the suite on the top floor.

Looking at the number on her room card, Qiao Nian pulled down the strap of her shoulder bag and coldly said, “I’ll go to my room first.”

“Okay,” Ye Wangchuan replied and then reminded her, “You just got off the plane. Rest first.”

Qiao Nian lowered her baseball cap and nodded. Then, she turned around and walked to her room door. She swiped her card to open the door and entered.

As the girl entered, Suite 6888 closed the door with a click.

Ye Wangchuan watched the girl enter before retracting his gaze. Then, he looked sideways at Ji Lin and said, “Come in. I have something to ask you.”

Qin Si and Gu San knew that these were not things they should hear. In unison, the two of them said, “Master Wang, we’ll go back to our rooms to unpack our things.”

Then, they went to their respective rooms.

Ye Wangchuan swiped his card and entered his room. Then, he placed the room card at the entrance and turned to Ji Lin. “Come in.”

In her room, Qiao Nian put down her things, took out her cell phone, and walked straight to the window, pulling open the curtains.

Then, she lowered her head and checked to see if Jian Jin had replied to her message.

Feng Yu and Shi Fu replied to her separately.

Feng Yu knew some of her aliases, so he did not say much and only told her to be careful.

Shi Fu asked Qiao Nian a few more questions about where she had gone and when she would return.

Qiao Nian did not reply to him. She scrolled down the message before finally seeing Jian Jin’s reply in the last column.

[Qiao, come out and meet me?]

The message was from half an hour ago. She narrowed her eyes and replied: [Time and address.]

There was no reply from Jian Jin.

Not in a hurry, she called Zhong Yiliu first.

The call was picked up instantly.

The old man’s voice was as loud and excited as ever. “Hey, why did you call me? Have you finished your work in the independent continent?”

“No.”

Qiao Nian pressed her forehead. Her head hurt.

She had been investigating her mother’s death for so long, but she had only found a clue. Before she could unlock the password on the USB drive, something happened to Lu Zhi.

“Then why did you call me?” Zhong Yiliu asked in confusion.
Qiao Nian did not hide it from him. “I’m in Country M.”

***

In the Pharmacy Association, Zhong Yiliu’s laboratory.

The old man stopped what he was doing and held his phone in shock. “You’re in Country M? When did you arrive—”

“Just now.” The girl’s voice was as clear as ever.

Zhong Yiliu composed himself and walked out to the corridor before continuing, “What are you doing in Country M? Did something happen?”
