154 Research results (2/2)

Ren Xiaosu sensed Luo Lan was in love.

Curious, Ren Xiaosu asked, ”Do you have to resort to all this? As a big shot of the Qing Consortium, why do you still keep coming back here even after you've been snubbed?

Luo Lan said unhappily, ”What do you know? There used to be so many girls coming in and out of my life, yet I never once took a fancy to any of them. Now that I've changed, I realize that only Miss Dong Funan is worthy of me!”

”You've never taken a fancy to any of them?” Ren Xiaosu laughed. ”So you mean you gave the medicine that you bought from me to Tang Zhou?”

”Don't you slander me. When have I ever bought any medicine from you!” Luo Lan looked downright indignant.

Dong Funan had been recuperating in Xiaoyu's room. But when she heard Luo Lan's voice, she locked the door from the inside. With a click, Luo Lan could not look any more embarrassed.

However, Luo Lan was not a normal person either. He pulled Ren Xiaosu aside and changed the subject. ”Can you lend Chen Wudi to me for some time?”

”What do you want Chen Wudi for? How can I lend a living, breathing human being to you? You can ask him yourself.” Ren Xiaosu washed his hands of the matter.

”These past two days, I found out that other powers are coming into this stronghold as well.” Luo Lan whispered, ”It's said that there's research that's about to be completed in the university of Stronghold 109, and many people are interested in getting ahold of the research results for themselves.”

”What kind of research is it?” Ren Xiaosu was starting to get interested but did not show it on his face.

”I'm not sure…” Luo Lan said.

”You're having ideas about something you don't even know?” Ren Xiaosu wondered. But considering the circumstances, the Qing Consortium's people had probably not infiltrated into that university yet. He wondered how Luo Lan had found out about it. Yang Xiaojin had also mentioned the Li Consortium was trying their best to protect this thing.

This thing… was probably so important it would change the entire structure between the organizations. That was why all the different powers were placing a lot of emphasis on it.

And on the night some supernatural beings fled from the site of the explosion, the Li Consortium only expelled the known members of the Pyro Company who were present in the stronghold, but did not conduct a thorough search to make any further arrests. It seemed like they did not want to complicate things further since most of their manpower was probably used to guard and protect the research results.

However, Ren Xiaosu was curious about something. How could the Qing Consortium possibly not know what the research results were about? Others already knew, but only you were still in the dark?

”We never paid any attention to this university before.” Luo Lan said, ”But it must have a very special value for so many powerful forces to be targeting it! How about this? Why don't you order Chen Wudi to protect me and I'll pay you for it!”

Ren Xiaosu felt that Luo Lan was lying through his teeth. He definitely knew what the research results were. He just didn't want to tell Ren Xiaosu!

He shook his head and rejected Luo Lan. ”If you want Chen Wudi to protect you, you can talk to him yourself. I will not order him about.”

Right at this moment, someone from the Qing Consortium walked in. He whispered a few words to Luo Lan before leaving in a hurry. As Ren Xiaosu watched the man from behind, sensing the Qing Consortium might be plotting something.

Ren Xiaosu wondered what made the research results so important. Could he steal them using the Shadow Door if he could ascertain its location?

Seeing that Ren Xiaosu was not planning to lend Chen Wudi to him, Luo Lan did not waste any more time on it. He just simply went over to talk to Dong Funan from the other side of the door. Before he could say much, Dong Funan said coldly from the bedroom, ”I'll come out to see you after you've slimmed down.”

Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, ”Then you'll probably never get to see him.”

Luo Lan said angrily, ”Don't say such discouraging words. Isn't it just losing some weight? I'll slim down very soon!” Then Luo Lan whispered to Tang Zhou next to him, ”How can I slim down quickly?”

Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, ”You'll definitely slim down if you only eat one steamed bun each in the morning, at noon, and during the evening.”

Luo Lan got lost in thought. ”…Do I eat them before or after my meals?”

Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
