After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 160 - 110: Afraid of Attracting Too Much Attention (2)
"Do you have any other cases at hand?" Professor Yu continued sipping his tea.
"No," Ning Youguang shook her head, "Is there something you need, teacher?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Yes, there’s an international conference in Boston in half a month. I plan to take you and your senior along."
Ning Youguang paused, then nodded promptly with delight, "Great, thank you, teacher. I’ll make sure to prepare the materials well in advance."
"Alright, let’s settle on that."
Leaving Professor Yu’s office.
Ning Youguang initially intended to send a WeChat message to her two friends in Boston.
She typed out two words, then stuffed her phone back into her trench coat pocket.
She decided to share the news with them once she landed.
Life always needs a bit of unexpected surprise to add some color.
...
It was past two in the afternoon.
A black luxury car cruised slowly into a villa district in the heart of Beijing.
This villa district had some history but wasn’t too old.
Located in a prime area, it was a hidden sanctuary amid the bustling city.
The buildings were spaced far apart, with wide green areas, excellent lighting, and a serene environment.
Nowadays, with land prices sky-high in Beijing, owning a large residence was no easy feat.
Only the affluent, who made their fortunes years ago, could reside in such a district.
"My nephew lives here alone now."
In the luxury car, Ning Youguang quietly observed the surroundings through the window.
Beside her sat a client introduced by Ming Jinxin for consultation.
A middle-aged man with an impressive appearance, an entrepreneur named Mr. Xia, known as Chairman Xia.
He was meticulously explaining the situation to her.
He had personally picked her up from the National University of Science and Technology.
"Ms. Ning, my nephew’s house is further inside, a short distance away."
As the car drove further in, he pointed carefully at a villa ahead, "That’s the one."
The closer the car got to the villa, the more surprised Ning Youguang was.
The villa ahead had peeling exterior walls, standing in stark contrast to the bright and radiant houses around it.
The scene around was one of dilapidation, with untrimmed plants, overgrown flower beds, and lawns strewn with rotting leaves, giving an overall wild and neglected look.
These sights gave the villa an eerie and intimidating presence.
Judging from the building’s sprawling layout and the size of the yards, the villa was once grand and magnificent.
It was the largest villa she had seen in this district.
As Ning Youguang observed quietly, Chairman Xia looked more worried than before at the dilapidated surroundings.
He sighed deeply, "Since my brother and sister-in-law died in a car accident three years ago, the house gradually fell into this state. My nephew dismissed all household staff and lives here alone, never leaving or inviting anyone to maintain it."
The driver parked the car steadily at the villa’s entrance.
Chairman Xia didn’t wait for the driver; he quickly pushed open the car door and walked towards the tightly closed gate.
Guided by the driver, Ning Youguang got out of the car too, seeing the towering, ornate gates now rusted due to years of neglect.
Chairman Xia pressed the doorbell for a long time, the buzzing startling the birds around, yet the gate remained shut.
With a furrowed brow, he tried to smile at Ning Youguang, "Sorry, he won’t come out. He might not have heard it inside; I’ll go check the back."
With that, he walked towards the villa’s back entrance.
Ning Youguang followed him to the rear of the villa.
The villa’s closed rear windows reflected the gloomy sky, intensifying the ominous atmosphere.
Chairman Xia, devoid of his entrepreneurial aura, peered inside through the windows and seeing the lights on, proceeded to knock on the back door, "knock, knock, knock..."
He knocked for almost ten minutes, just as Ning Youguang thought his patience was wearing thin, the door unexpectedly opened.
Inside stood a youth with his head lowered, long hair covering his face, bearded and disheveled, obscuring his features, yet notably slender.
She guessed it was a youth from Chairman Xia’s introduction.
In fact, the person inside was so unkempt that neither his facial features nor age were discernible—only his height was apparent.
