Chapter 24: The Person Behind the Door

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Continent M, New City, the tallest building on the financial street.

A man stood in front of the French window. His hapa face was extremely handsome. He had one hand on the glass window and the other was holding a phone to his ear as he spoke casually.

Suddenly, he heard something. He instantly straightened up from his lazy and casual body.

“Are you serious?”

“Or else?”

Tang Zhi felt that her words weren’t shocking enough, so she added, “I will personally follow up on this matter. Send Shang Xin over.”

There was a long silence on the other end of the line.

Since he didn’t say anything, Tang Zhi hung up.

At the GK headquarters in Continent M, the man’s expression changed. After a long while, he finally said, “Shit!”

The secretary pushed the door open. “CEO Xi, what’s the matter?”

Xi Mu said in a low voice, “Inform everyone to hold the highest-level emergency meeting. Everyone must be present.”

The secretary was taken aback, then quickly agreed and left to make arrangements.

All of a sudden, GK’s headquarters descended into chaos.

…

After Tang Zhi ended her call with Xi Mu, someone knocked on the door.

She got up and opened the door.

Sun Yutong stood at the door and said with a smile, “Are you done packing yet? Do you want to eat together?”

Tang Zhi also felt a little hungry, so she nodded. “Okay.”

“Everyone is tired today, so we didn’t organize a gathering. We’ll just eat something in the canteen downstairs. If you don’t want to, we’ll go out to eat.”

“No need, let’s just eat in the canteen.”

“Alright then.”

When she arrived at the canteen with Sun Yu, the rest of Rong University were also there.

“Over here!”

Zhao Qiao greeted them warmly when he saw them. Sun Yutong smiled and walked over with Tang Zhi.

Zhao Qiao had an outgoing personality and said enthusiastically, “Are you used to living alone? Won’t you get scared?”

It couldn’t be helped. Tang Zhi was the only girl who came to their laboratory this time. The other four girls were in the second group and had already divided their rooms, leaving Tang Zhi alone.

Tang Zhi was unfamiliar with this place and was young. He was also a little worried.

“I’m fine.”

Tang Zhi didn’t have any objections and felt more comfortable living alone.

Sun Yutong was also a little worried. “We’ll stay downstairs. If you need anything, come find us directly.”

“Alright, thank you.”

Tang Zhi smiled back and started eating quietly.

The food in the canteen was very ordinary, but it was not bad.

During this time, Zhao Qiao was the one talking and the atmosphere was not awkward.

After the meal, Tang Zhi and Sun Yu parted ways with them. They didn’t return to their rooms directly but went downstairs to the courtyard of the hostel.

Unlike Rong City, this place was very quiet.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard were not meticulously trimmed. Instead, they were directly transplanted from the wilderness. They were casual but not messy.

There was a red-painted wooden door in the corner behind them.

Tang Zhi took a couple of glances and retracted her gaze.

The next moment, there were a few shuffling footsteps behind the door.

Tang Zhi froze and was about to get up when she heard an impatient voice from behind her. “Why are you here?”

Bai Qing looked at Tang Zhi with dissatisfaction. “It’s remote and unsafe here. Don’t walk around at night if you have nothing to do. It’s everyone’s responsibility if anything happens.”

Tang Zhi said nonchalantly, “I understand.”

“Hurry back to your room.”

Bai Qing said impatiently before leaving in a hurry.

Behind the door, the footsteps seemed to have stopped.

Tang Zhi’s heart sank..
