Alpha's Unexpected Heir

Chapter 945: Chapter 933: Zhan Nanging Takes Qiao Jing into Professor Qiao’s Research Institute

It was a bright and clear morning.

Qiao Jing noticed the nice weather and went out for her usual morning exercise.

As she ran, she unknowingly found herself at the entrance of Professor Qiao’s Research Institute.

Drawn by an inexplicable sense of familiarity, Qiao Jing stopped at the gate and silently observed, soon falling

into deep thought.

She had always wondered, why did she feel so familiar with this place?

Was it because she had sconnection to it in the past, or because she used to live nearby and thus knew the

surroundings well, or perhaps for sother reason...

At this moment, two security guards in the gatehouse noticed Qiao Jing.

They stepped out of the gatehouse, with the taller one squinting at her, furrowing his brows, and saying, “Isn't

that the woman from before? Why is she here again?”

The other also recognized her and chimed in, “Yes, it's been a few times already! Look, she’s always staring

inside the institute, | wonder what she’s up to?”

The taller guard speculated, “Do you think she might really have ulterior motives, and that’s why she keeps

coming over to check the place out?”

Hearing this, the other immediately suggested, “Why don’t we... call the police? After all, these are just our

suspicions without evidence, better let the police investigate.”

Just as the two guards were discussing whether to call the police, a car drove up and stopped at the gate.

Zhan Nanjing got out of the car and walked straight to Qiao Jing, warmly greeting her, “Xiao Jing! It really is you!

| knew | wasn’t mistaken, | recognized you from a distance!”

Since their last meal together at Purple Garden, their relationship had grown closer. Zhan Nanjing felt calling her

Third Miss Qiao was too formal, so she directly called her Xiao Jing and said to feel free to call her by her given

nas well.

Hearing her voice brought Qiao Jing out of her thoughts, and she smiled faintly, greeting Zhan Nanjing.

Seeing this, the two guards immediately gave up the idea of calling the police.

“Oh, so she knows Miss Zhan, then there must be no problem.”

“Yeah, looks like we overthought this.”

At this point, Zhan Nanjing also noticed Qiao Jing continuously staring inside the institute.

In Zhan Nanjing’s view, Qiao Jing, like everyone else, should also admire Professor Qiao and have a sacred

longing to see inside the institute, hence her desire to take a look.

Remembering that Qiao Jing had once saved her mother and helped to cheer up her grandfather by playing

along with a little act, Zhan Nanjing decided to fulfill her wish.

Thus, Zhan Nanjing linked arms with Qiao Jing, smiling warmly, and said, “Do you want to go inside and have a

look? If you want, | can make an exception and take you in for a tour.”

From their previous interactions, Qiao Jing already knew that Zhan Nanjing worked at Professor Qiao’s Research

Institute.

While she was indeed curious about the institute, she also understood that such places were generally off-limits

to outsiders unless accompanied by insiders.

So, upon hearing Zhan Nanjing’s offer, Qiao Jing shook her head and politely declined, “No need, | was just

passing by.”

Zhan Nanjing thought she was just being shy, so she simply took her hand and led her inside, “Con, come

on, it's okay.”

Unable to refuse, in the end, Qiao Jing followed Zhan Nanjing into the institute.

When the people inside the institute saw Zhan Nanjing bring in an outsider, all eyes turned toward them.

One of the professors, a bit suspicious, asked, “Nanjing, who is this person? Why did you bring her in?”

“She’s my friend, and she’s curious about our institute, so | brought her in for a look.”

After saying this, Zhan Nanjing confidently assured everyone, “Rest assured, she’s trustworthy, and won't

divulge any internal details of the institute.”

Just as she finished speaking, Xu Hongzu approached.

Xu Hongzu looked serious, his gaze scrutinizing Qiao Jing for a moment before remaining silent.

Zhan Nanjing inwardly thought to herself, “Not good.”

Of course, at this time, Elder Xu should be in the laboratory conducting research.

This was precisely why she dared to bring someone in.

After all, Elder Xu was always meticulous with his work and had a particularly strict attitude, he definitely would

not allow non-internal staff into the institute.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Elder Xu at an inconvenient moment, seemingly leaving her with no chance to show

Xiao Jing around...

Despite believing there was no chance, Zhan Nanjing still wanted to try and argue, “Elder Xu, please make an

exception, she saved my mother and is a benefactor to our Zhan Family. She just wants to take a quick look, can

| take her for a short tour?”

Qiao Jing was just about to suggest giving up when Xu Hongzu unexpectedly nodded slowly and said, “Okay.”

Hearing this response, Zhan Nanjing was momentarily astonished.

She had mentally prepared for a refusal, but unexpectedly, Elder Xu agreed!

This was beyond her expectations!

Not only was Zhan Nanjing surprised, but the others in the institute were also very surprised.

Because this was quite unlike Xu Hongzu'’s usual style of handling things.

The professor who spoke earlier was very curious and couldn’t help but ask, “Elder Xu, why did you agree? |

thought you would oppose it.”

By this time, Zhan Nanjing had collected her thoughts, happily taking Qiao Jing for the tour.

Xu Hongzu didn’t answer the professor’s question, only gazing intently at Qiao Jing’s retreating figure.

If pressed for a reason, he couldn't really explain it; he just had an inexplicable feeling this girl should be quite

decent.

As Qiao Jing followed Zhan Nanjing around the institute for a little tour.

Everything there gave her an even stronger sense of familiarity.

Especially when she saw the grafted vegetables and fruits, she even felt an indescribable sense of intimacy...

After touring around for a while, Zhan Nanjing brought Qiao Jing to a cultivation room, where there were many

grafted vegetables under research.

“These were all left by my sister-in-law, I've been carefully tending to them, and they can’t be touched

carelessly.”

As she spoke, Zhan Nanjing took out

a research report, speaking with

determination, “Ev thgugh my

As Qiao Jing listened to Zhan Nanjing, she observed those vegetables.

Hearing it was about work, Zhan

“Okay, | understand, go ahead,” Qiao Jing responded calmly.

After Zhan Nanjing and Chi Yuhang left, she picked up the research report that Zhan Nanjing had left behind and

glanced through it.
