2056 Ji Nan, My Netizen Friend Is My Cousin Who Has Been Missing for Years? At noon, all the major families and forces received news from the First Research Institute. Under Feng Yu’s recommendation, a heaven-defying newcomer entered the Level 8 laboratory in less than three months, under Shi Fu’s name, no less. This newcomer was also someone they knew. It happened to be the name they had heard many times recently—Qiao Nian. The people who came to attend Ji Ziyin’s birthday banquet today were more or less related to the Ji family. They had also heard some rumors circulating in the Ji family. For example, Qiao Nian seemed to be inextricably linked to the Ji family. As for the connection… The Ji family kept it a secret. However, many people knew that Ji Hongyuan’s sudden support for Ji Ziyin had a lot to do with this monster newcomer, Qiao Nian. One was the genius Ji Ziyin whom the Ji family had been praising for more than 10 years. The other was a newcomer to the Independent Continent. Ji Ziyin was still a Level 5 laboratory staff. Meanwhile, the rookie who no one thought highly of previously already advanced into the Level 8 laboratory. Almost everyone attending the banquet this time was watching Ji Hongyuan and Ji Ziyin make a fool of themselves. They only smiled and did not say anything, not showing their thoughts. However, their gazes were enough to embarrass Ji Hongyuan and Ji Ziyin! Ji Ziyin’s birthday banquet almost ended in a mess. Ji Hongyuan only stayed for less than an hour before leaving in a hurry. … At the Ji family. Ji Nan had just come out of the old residence when he bumped into He Lin, who had returned in a hurry. “Uncle He,” he greeted. He Lin stopped in his tracks and bowed respectfully in greeting. Then, he rushed inside. Ji Nan raised his eyebrows. He paused for about two seconds before walking towards the blue sports car parked on the road. He was driving a royal blue Lamborghini today. The body of the car was smooth and technological. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎 Ji Nan opened the door and got inside. Fastening his seatbelt, he caught a glimpse of his cell phone from the corner of his eye. He paused and picked it up, finding Qiao Nian’s WeChat account. Their last WeChat exchange was half a month ago, when he asked Qiao Nian out for a meal. Who knew that in just half a month… the ‘netizen’ he had known for several years had suddenly become his little cousin who had been lost many years ago. Moreover, they were closely related! Ji Nan could not help but laugh. He covered his eyes. After a moment, he calmed down a little. Ji Nan typed a WeChat message and sent it to Qiao Nian. After the message was successfully sent, he threw the phone aside and leaned his head back in the driver’s seat. He closed his eyes and digested what he had just heard from his father. After a while, he composed himself and started the car again, preparing to go to his aunt’s place. Only a few people in the Ji family knew that Qiao Nian was a family member. This news had yet to spread. Even his mother did not know about this. Ji Nan planned not to say anything for the time being. He would tell his mother and the others after Qiao Nian thought it through. … First Research Institute. Level 8 laboratory. Everyone appeared to be very busy. They were so busy that they did not seem to have time to spare. All of them lowered their heads and continued what they were doing. Even so, the atmosphere in the laboratory was still very strange. Those who looked to be very ‘busy’ kept looking in Qiao Nian’s direction.
