He did not answer the question of the person in the shadows. Instead, he opened his eyes and looked over with a pair of amber eyes, then said calmly, “Is there any news from the independent continent?”

Jacob was about to answer when his cell phone vibrated in his pocket.

He quickly took it out and looked down at the caller ID. He straightened his expression and handed the cell phone to the man. “Quentin, it’s the old butler.’

The man took the phone unhurriedly. His voice sounded very cold. “Hello.”

Jacob consciously retreated into the shadows and waited patiently for the man to finish the call.

The man raised his voice slightly and said irritably, “You said he returned my birthday gift?”

Jacob raised his head, clearly stunned. He knew that the archbishop had an illegitimate son in his twenties in the independent continent.

The other party did not want a gift from the archbishop?

“Heh, he has a backbone.” The man was not very angry. It could be seen he was very tolerant of his son. “When does he plan to come back? Does he still want to stay in that research institute?”

The old butler lowered her voice and replied carefully, “Young Master seems to like the work at the First Research Institute very much. Recently, he has been staying in the research institute until eight or nine in the evening before returning home. He seems to be busy with an experiment with his friends…”

“Friends?” Quentin asked with interest.

He investigated Xu Yi’s background before contacting him.

Xu Yi had a strange personality and had few friends since he was young. He was very independent!

The old butler replied softly, “Young Master has a friend whom he values very much. His mother often mentions that friend as well. She said that she has helped them a lot and takes good care of them…”

Quentin’s amber eyes flashed and his thin lips parted. “Which friend?”

“Young Master’s friend is a girl. She’s quite young,” the old butler said very naturally. “l think her name is Qiao Nian.”

Quentin did not say anything.

First Research Institute, Qiao Nian.

He did not expect such a coincidence…

6 PM.

Qiao Nian looked at the time on the wall watch and then started packing her things.

Xu Yi was still studying the formula she had given him. He kept writing and drawing on the draft paper with a frown on his face.

The entire sheet of paper was filled with his calculations. Even so, Xu Yi continued to check the results in the remaining blank space.

Qiao Nian changed into her coat and picked up her bag. Seeing that he was still thinking hard, she patted his shoulder and said, “It’s fine if you can’t calculate it. I’ll do it later. I’ll leave first.’

“I’ll try again.” Xu Yi did not even look up, as if he was arguing with the numbers.

Qiao Nian knew his personality and did not disturb him anymore. She left quietly.

Ye Wangchuan was already waiting for her outside the research institute,

When the girl came out, he naturally took her bag and walked back towards the car…

“Why are you out so early today?”

Qiao Nian was still thinking about the model. Hearing this, she casually said, “Weren’t you waiting for me? 1 came out earlier.”

Ye Wangchuan opened the door and placed her bag on the passenger seat. Turning around and seeing her distracted, he took out a bottle of water from inside the car and handed it over.. “l heard that you rejected the people from the Privy Council?”
