Xue Zhu's indignant expression immediately deflated. She stopped insisting and nodded. "I understand. I'll explain it to Senior Brother Cao and the others."
She wasn't stupid.
She wouldn't tell Cao Yanhua and the people in the Level 8 laboratory that Xu Yi was missing. She would just find a reason to apply for leave for Qiao Nian and the others.
Shen Qingfeng had been in her group for almost four years. He knew that Xue Zhu was better at socializing than Xu Yi and him. However, Xue Zhu usually did not care about anything and was unwilling to get involved in the various major forces' disputes in the research institute. That was why she appeared ordinary.
He was relieved upon seeing that Xue Zhu immediately understood what he meant and no longer hesitated.
Shen Qingfeng patted her shoulder gently and silently comforted her. Then, he turned around and walked towards the girl, his expression solemn. "Qiao Nian, let's go."
