Chapter 181: Found
Tong Shenba led Gu Wanrong toward the laboratory, confused as to why Gu Wanrong wouldn’t go anywhere else but went straight there.
However, during working hours, it was always Gu Wanrong who initiated the conversation; otherwise, she wouldn’t speak out of turn.
After being with Tong Shenba for a long time, Gu Wanrong could completely see the confusion under his expressionless face. “Do you not know why I want to go to the laboratory myself after getting rid of Lu Heping?”
Tong Shenba nodded.
Gu Wanrong gave a mysterious smile. “Intuition. My intuition has always been very accurate.”
These words made Tong Shenba even more confused. Intuition told the Miss to go to the laboratory; he didn’t understand, but he respected it.
Along the way, there were few students walking on campus. Occasionally, she saw one who was either rushing to their destination or thoughtfully shielding the world out.
When they arrived in front of the laboratory building, the security guard at the door blocked their way. Gu Wanrong unhurriedly took out the certificate Lu Heping gave her, and the guard let them pass after looking at it.

…
After entering the laboratory building, as long as it was within the range covered by the halo, the system would have a prompt for the ability of the people in the range.
As it turned out, she had been inside for a while, and most of them were students of Zhongnan University of Technology. The talent Gu Wanrong was thinking of “picking up” hadn’t appeared yet.
Tong Shenba followed silently behind Gu Wanrong, not understanding why she had entered and just walked floor by floor without any purpose and without any other actions.
The remaining time for wearing the halo was still long, and Gu Wanrong continued to explore patiently.

Four and a half stars? Meets the talent conditions sought by the halo?
Seeing this, Gu Wanrongβs footsteps paused, and she looked in the direction pointed by the halo. It was a tightly closed door, and there was no obvious sign on the door.
Gu Wanrong walked forward slowly and reached out to push the door gently. The door didn’t move at all; it was locked.
Just as she was full of doubt, a girl with black-framed glasses and a clean appearance walked over.
When the girl noticed Gu Wanrong, she showed a hint of alertness and asked, “Who are you? Iβve never seen you before! What are you doing here?”
Hearing the girlβs questioning, Tong Shenba, standing on the side, hurriedly took a step forward. While taking out the certificate personally issued by Principal Lu, he replied:
“Classmate, we are here at the invitation of the school. Chairman Gu specifically came here for a visit. But our Chairman Gu doesn’t like having too many people following her, so only the two of us are here.”
The girl was slightly stunned and stared thoughtfully at the certificate for a while. After a moment, she seemed to suddenly remember that there was indeed such a thing and nodded.
However, her gaze didn’t leave the document; she scanned it up and down. After confirming there was no problem, she gradually relaxed her alertness toward Gu Wanrong and Tong Shenba.
“Oh, so thatβs how it is…”
“But behind this door is just an abandoned room. Usually, it’s a place specifically used to store various sundries. Except for Yi Hefei, who has a key, only the security uncle downstairs has one. You can’t get in.”
The girl shook her head slightly as she spoke.
However, for some reason, when she mentioned the name “Yi Hefei,” there was a faint trace of strange emotion in her tone. Was it regret or pity?
“Itβs okay. I just saw that this room looks so old from the outside, so I was a bit curious.” Gu Wanrong had a faint smile on her face, seemingly casually brushing the girl off.
The girl seemed to have her own matters to handle. Seeing that Gu Wanrong and the person beside her had no more questions, she nodded and turned to leave.
At this time, Yi Hefei, inside the room, heard the conversation outside clearly. However, she didn’t want to meet anyone; she just wanted to stay alone for a while.
Time passed minute by minute, and after confirming there was no sound outside at all, Yi Hefei carefully opened the door and walked out.
But what she never expected was that Gu Wanrong and Tong Shenba hadn’t left at all!
When she saw the two, she was startled and blurted out, “You… why are you still here?”
Just after she finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Wanrongβs answer, she quickly lowered her head and buried her face like a startled rabbit, fearing the other party would see her appearance, and then hurriedly wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.
At the moment Yi Hefei raised her head, Gu Wanrongβs sharp eyes noticed her eyes, which were as red and swollen as walnuts. As expected, just as Tong Shenba had signaled to her with a gesture before, someone was crying in the room.
Looking at Yi Hefei, whose mood was obviously very low and who seemed to have no mood to communicate with anyone, Gu Wanrong knew that at this time, too many questions would only make the other party even more upset. Helplessly, Gu Wanrong had to give a look to Tong Shenba beside her, signaling him not to make a sound.
Then, the two followed far behind Yi Hefei.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the road ahead, walking slowly toward Yi Hefei.
This man had an extremely proud smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if mocking something. When he saw Yi Hefei, he intentionally let out an extremely loud sneer, the sound sharp and piercing.
Yi Hefei was walking with her head down, completely focused, and didn’t notice the abnormality around her. It wasn’t until the sneer reached her ears that she looked up as if waking from a dream.
At the moment their gazes met, her face instantly became extremely gloomy, because the person standing in front of her was none other than Liu Zizhi.
Yi Hefei, who had been trying hard to suppress the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart, had all her emotions explode like a volcano at this moment.
After turning around abruptly, she reached out her hands without hesitation and pushed Liu Zizhiβs back with all her strength. Liu Zizhi was caught off guard, lost his balance, and fell heavily to the ground.
After falling, Liu Zizhi hadn’t had time to react before Yi Hefei quickly moved in. She clenched her fists and smashed them down on Liu Zizhi like raindrops.
“Yi Hefei, you crazy woman!” Liu Zizhi yelled while trying to block Yi Hefeiβs attack.
“Iβm warning you, if you dare to hit me again, believe it or not, Iβll make it so you can’t stay in this school anymore!” Although he was at a disadvantage, Liu Zizhi still stubbornly threatened Yi Hefei.
At this time, Yi Hefei had long since been blinded by anger. No matter what Liu Zizhi said, her body only instinctively fought Liu Zizhi with all her might. Liu Zizhi was beaten by her with no power to fight back, wailing miserably.
This is bad!
Translator’s Note: “Mother of Artificial Eggs and Sperm” (δΊΊι ε΅εγη²ΎεδΉζ―) β Yi Hefei is clearly a genius in biotechnology! The conflict here involves a “scumbag” (ζΈ£η· – zhan nan) or a rival researcher stealing credit. Liu Zizhi sounds like a typical villain who uses his connections to bully others. Gu Wanrong has arrived just in time to scout a legendary scientist for her empire!
I hope you enjoyed these chapters! It’s getting intense with both the idol world and the science world! See you in the next update!
