Across the north gate was a night market specifically set up by Capital University. Gu Mang swept a glance in that direction and spotted Jiangsui sitting in an inconspicuous spot right away. She made her way over to him and sat opposite of him, where she found a plate of stir-fried noodles and a cup of milk tea waiting for her.
When Jiangsui saw her, his eyes lit up, and he instinctively rose to his feet. "Sister Mang."
"Sit." With a bob of her head, she ordered him to sit back down. She then tore open the straw wrapper and poked the straw into the cup before taking a pair of disposable chopsticks from the bamboo holder.
"Flying Serpent and Responsive Dragon have arrived in the capital and they want to meet you."
She had her head propped on a hand as she lazily ate a mouthful of noodles. She looked up at him. "Iβm not free. I have military training to attend." Ignoring Jiangsui, she demanded, "Where are the items I want?"
He took out a square palm-sized box from his pocket and handed it to her. "It wasnβt easy to get hold of them and each only contains one microliter, so you better be careful with them!"
"Will do."
Her half-hearted response did nothing to dispel his worries. "If you lose it again, Iβll jump off a thirty-story building next time." His concern was not undue, for they, her subordinates, nearly suffered a heart attack when she lost said items last year.
She opened the box and took a look at its contents. Inside lay two transparent tubes that were as fine as needles. They contained a light blue liquid. After putting the lid back on, she carelessly placed the box in her pocket.
When Jiangsui saw this, he very nearly threw a fit at her and wanted to strangle her to death right there and then. Those things mean as much as her life, yet she treats them so carelessly?!
"It was an accident," answered Gu Mang in a concise manner. She had not lost the previous tubes of liquid but had actually used them for research instead. It just happened that her experiment failed.
He let out a weary sigh at that. "By the way, how do you intend to pass it to Gu Si?"
"I have my ways."
"Alright." He then lowered his head and dug into his own plate of noodles.

It was half-past nine by the time she arrived back at her dorm. Her three roommates whipped their heads in her direction the moment she opened the door to their room.
As soon as the bathroom door shut, Su Jiaying turned to look at the book that Gu Mang had placed on the bookshelf. She stared at it for a long time as she fell into deep thought. The book Gu Mang brought back seems to be a brand new copy of the latest medical textbook. Who did she meet earlier and why did she come back with a textbook?
