Chapter 901: 356 Extra 1: The Mysterious Apartment of the Gods! Xicheng Ji Family

Winter break.

Yining Mu discussed New Year’s plans with Ji Heng at Shanhai Apartment, hoping Ji Heng would stay in Jiangjing for the celebration this year.

Ji Heng squinted her eyes and slowly embroidered, shaking her head, "No."

Yining had anticipated this response, yet she proposed, "Then let’s return on the third day of the New Year."

Last year she and Mu Zhao had gone back to Xiangcheng to celebrate the New Year, so naturally, she planned to return this year too.

"The third day of the New Year?" Ji Heng squinted, dropping a stitch, "I might not be in Xiangcheng after the New Year."

As they spoke, Bai Lian returned outside.

Yining put down her cup and stood up upon seeing the two guards following behind Bai Lian, clearly just coming from the laboratory.

The guards were in plain clothes, but their demeanor was markedly different from that of ordinary people.

Over two decades ago, Yining had seen this type of guard behind some of the elders in the Mu Family.

She did not expect to see them today by Bai Lian’s side.

Yining knew Bai Lian was involved in a project related to extracting uranium from seawater, but as for the other research that couldn’t be disclosed publicly, she knew nothing about it, though she can imagine its importance based on how the institute was currently treating her.

All the previous news about Bai Lian on the internet had been deleted, and the institute was also reducing the number of her public appearances.

After confirming Bai Lian was home, the two guards did not stay long.

Once they left, Ji Heng inquired about Bai Lian’s holiday plans for the New Year.

"I haven’t taken a day off in over two months," Bai Lian glanced at Jiang He in the glass room, "The university is giving me a seven-day holiday, starting the day before New Year’s Eve."

With responsibilities now, Bai Lian’s holidays were not as free as those of ordinary students, especially since she was now a core member of Jiang University and a spokesperson for the new generation. Wherever she went, two guards would always be with her for protection.

Fortunately, due to the concentration of talent, Shanhai Apartment had upgraded its security personnel, including guards and even janitors, to military management.

The guards felt relieved after safely escorting Bai Lian back home.

Of course, because of this, now anyone wanting to rent or buy an apartment in Shanhai Apartment had to go through a political check of three generations.

Dean Jian had already purchased the first floor next door, and Shun Yu was also looking at a suite in the neighboring building. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Planning to formally retire and join Ji Heng’s ’fishing’ team.

Entry to Shanhai Apartment was restricted to either PhDs or professors, making access increasingly complicated.

Lance was stopped at the gate last time.

Because he was a foreigner.

It was only after Jiang Fulai wrote a note for him that the guards at the gate, armed with guns, let him in.

In the past six months, due to various changes, Shanhai Apartment had become a sanctuary of the gods within the circle. Some people in the circle knew who lived in Buildings No. 5 and No. 6, and they were sharpening their heads, trying to move in.

They wanted to be neighbors with leading figures in various fields.

However, buying an apartment in Shanhai now was no easy task.

Those who could afford a place here now were influential figures in Jiangjing.

"Seven days?" Ji Heng was surprised, not expecting Bai Lian to get such a long holiday now, "I need to go back to Xicheng after the New Year’s Day."

He was unsure if Bai Lian might be called back by the organization then.

He didn’t plan to take Bai Lian with him.

"Xicheng?" Bai Lian removed her coat and walked towards the courtyard, her bangs loosely falling over her forehead, quite casually. She didn’t ask further, "Alright."

She remembered Ning Xiao’s project was located in the maritime area of Xicheng.

This year, the Lunar New Year falls on the thirtieth.

Ji Heng, as usual, returned to Xiangcheng five days early to prepare the New Year goods.

And he brought Jiang He along.

Mao Kun and Xiaoqi also returned with them.

Ming Dongheng stood under Building No. 5, watching the backs of Ji Heng and Jiang He, then turned to talk to Xu Nanjing, quite puzzled, "I don’t need to follow Young Master anymore?"

Bai Lian, being in the laboratory, was escorted out by two laboratory guards.

Accompanied by a driver as well.

It seemed Ming Dongheng was out of a job for a time, just usually protecting Ji Heng and Jiang He.

Now, even protecting Jiang He had been taken over by Mao Kun.

Xu Nanjing returned his gaze, "Don’t you still have to teach Miss Yang?"

"Right, Sister Yang," Ming Dongheng cheered himself up.

They were just about to head back.

Not far away, a car from the Physics Institute drove up, and Xu Nanjing recognized that it was Dean Huang’s car.

He stopped to greet him.

"Young Xu," Dean Huang, shiny-headed, was stepping down from the back seat when he saw Xu Nanjing and raised his hand, "Just in time, do you have any vacant places in Building No. 5?"

Of course, there weren’t any left.

Xu Nanjing somewhat regretted not buying more units in this complex back then.
