Chapter 44: Who Am I

“Cap Song.”

Song Qinglan only waited for a few minutes when he heard a calm voice sound in front of him.
He looked up and saw Ji Yushi’s face.

They had only been apart for two days so there was naturally no change to Ji Yushi.
A simple white short-sleeved T-shirt that was similar to the one Song Qinglan found for him in PU-31 somehow made him stand out even more. Just by standing in the waiting lounge, many people’s eyes were drawn over.

What Song Qinglan noticed however, were the two faint shadows under the other person’s eyes.

Song Qinglan stood up and said naturally, “You came so quickly.”
If he drove a little slower, he would’ve arrived after Ji Yushi.

Ji Yushi said, “I was outside when I called you, so I came directly.”

The two walked out side by side.
In the hustle and bustle of the summer night in Ning City, cries of cicadas accompanied the intermittent waves of heat.
When the large black off-road car was revealed, Song Qinglan was quite surprised. He couldn’t imagine someone like Ji Yushi driving such a domineering car.

Song Qinglan unlocked his phone, opened the information and handed it to Ji Yushi, “Take a look first. I’ll drive.”
Of course, this was what he had wanted. Ji Yushi had no objections, “Okay.”

The car entered the traffic. Neon lights flashed in Ning City. Ji Yushi quietly looked through the information.

Wang Xiaoqian, female, 52 years old. Previously a professor in the Department of Quantum Physics at Capital University. The information reported that she was from the capital and also included some of her papers, essays and teaching subjects. Just like Song Qinglan had said, it was however not complete. Except for these, there were no photos and there was also no information about Tianqiong.
Ji Yushi searched Capital University on the internet. There was nothing about Wang Xiaoqian on the page with faculty staff.

“I have some connections.” Song Qinglan said, “Through the name you provided, I found many women with the same name and surname. After excluding some candidates with too large age gaps and different educational backgrounds, I ended up with this one. If it was really as you had said and Wang Xiaoqian was the chief of the Jiang City branch, this professor who taught quantum physics would probably be the closest candidate.”

Ji Yushi nodded. In this era, privacy was highly valued, so all databases were encrypted. It already wasn’t easy getting all this information.
What he didn’t expect was that Song Qinglan who had no impression of the ‘Chief Wang’ he mentioned still invested so much effort to investigate.

“They will send more detailed information later.” Song Qinglan continued, “You can confirm if it is her at the time.”

As he said this, Song Qinglan inadvertently glanced at Ji Yushi and was slightly stunned.
There was a bright red mark on Ji Yushi’s neck.

This mark wasn’t something Song Qinglan hadn’t seen before.
If Li Chun went out to play for a few days before returning to the squad, he would have a few of these things on him too.

He originally wanted to ignore it.
But with that one glance, perhaps it was because the red mark on the extremely fair skin was too eye catching, he couldn’t help but notice it.
Song Qinglan gritted the back of his teeth, “Ji Yushi, your neck. Pay attention.”

Ji Yushi was baffled. He pulled down the mirror in the passenger seat and took a look, “Forgot to close the window last night.”
No wonder he was scratching that place today. Turns out he was bitten by a mosquito last night.
