Chapter 165 - 165 165 The Night Alliance is Going to Fail

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: The Night Alliance is Going to Fail This Time Chapter 165: Chapter 165: The Night Alliance is Going to Fail This Time Jiang Zhe held it and wondered if it had the same effect as Qin Jingchen’s.

Fen Ye thought about it, shook his head, and dismissed this far-fetched idea.

It’s impossible. How would others know what this medicine does, and what use would they have for it?

Something occurred to him, and he asked, “What I find strange is, where did sister-in-law get her previous medication? We only ever lost that kind of medicine once.”

Qin Jingchen wasn’t keen on dwelling on it.

But the question that Fen Ye raised was indeed not trivial.

Seeing that Qin Jingchen was willing to ponder, Fen Ye bombarded him with a series of questions, “Also, her relationship with Pei Yuan is obviously not bad. Our relationship with the Pharmaceutical Research Institute is that of an investor to an investee, but about her?”

Qin Jingchen remained silent.

“Qin Hai, what do you think?” Fen Ye turned to Qin Hai, who was driving.

Qin Hai answered cautiously, “Miss Jiang’s medical skills are also quite good. It’s normal for doctors to interact with each other, isn’t it?”

“Look at you, always quiet, but when it really matters, you actually say something quite to the point.”

Now that Qin Hai had put it this way, everything seemed to make sense, even the fact that Jiang Zhe had obtained this kind of medicine didn’t seem so inexplicable anymore.

…

After returning to her dorm, Jiang Zhe casually took out the powder-like medicine and stored it in a different place.

She then handed out the two gifts to Xiao Meng and Xia Enci.

“Did you go to and from Beijing today?” Xia Enci asked, “Did you make a round trip?”

“Mhm.” Jiang Zhe answered, yawning.

“That must have been tiring. Were you meeting a professor at the National Conservatory of Music?”

She had heard that someone named Fan Yin had come looking for Jiang Zhe.

She had also heard that Jiang Fanyue had gone to Beijing.

She guessed that Jiang Zhe’s trip had been for the same reason.

“Mhm.” Jiang Zhe replied casually, without elaborating.

Xiao Meng brought her a cup of warm milk, “Running back and forth in one day must be exhausting. Drink some warm milk and get some rest early.”

Jiang Zhe took it, gulping down the entire cup of milk in one go.

“So, what’s the verdict? Are you going to go?” With Xia Enci, there was no question of whether Jiang Zhe could pass, only whether she wanted to go or not.

“Don’t feel like it.” Jiang Zhe said while messaging Yang Feiliu, “No need to look for the medicine, I’ve got it. By the way, have you found any clues about who controls the Night Alliance?”

“You actually have the medicine! Have you found another dog out there?”

The item that even Yang Feiliu hadn’t obtained, Jiang Zhe had somehow managed to get her hands on it.

Wasn’t she always at school, too lazy to run around?

“Don’t know. The Night Alliance has always been mysterious, you know that. They deal in everything around the world, and there aren’t many who dare to mess with them. I’ve heard the Night Emperor who holds power is ruthless. I don’t really want to know who he is. The Night Alliance’s red wine, though, is truly good. It’s just a pity I didn’t take more bottles last time.”

“Forgot to tell you, I got you some red wine from the Qin family, it’s in the usual place.”

Yang Feiliu didn’t reply to the message, which led Jiang Zhe to reasonably guess that she was already on her way to where the wine was stashed, no matter where she was at the moment.

Xia Enci didn’t expect Jiang Zhe to be disinclined to go to the school, “It really suits you, you know!”

“Don’t like it.” Jiang Zhe responded, “Do you like it? I can refer you there.”

Xia Enci immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum, “Thanks but no thanks! I’m well aware of my own limits. There’s nothing in the art world that I can handle!”

Xiao Meng laughed and said, “But your sports are very good, and your logical thinking ability is decent too. Pursuing a science-related major or something in the future would be good as well.”

“Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. Help me take a look at this geometric figure, maybe I’ll go into architecture or something…”

“Your lines are messed up,” said Jiang Zhe from the top bunk, glancing down at them.

“You’re right!” Xiao Meng and Xia Enci exclaimed in unison.

The two of them were no longer surprised by Jiang Zhe’s abilities and bent over to correct their math problems.

Life at school went by quickly, and Jiang Zhe’s past couple of days had been rather tranquil.

Qin Jingchen would occasionally send her messages.

Out of boredom, Jiang Zhe checked the location from which he was messaging her, marking the first time she thought to check his whereabouts.

The location was in Beijing.

However, Jiang Zhe could tell that this location was obviously false.

But she couldn’t determine his actual location.

It was a location even Jiang Zhe couldn’t track down.

After some thought, she decided not to continue searching.

“What has the Night Alliance been up to these past few days?” Jiang Zhe asked Yang Feiliu.

Yang Feiliu’s response came swiftly, “In Oceania, it looks like they’re raiding Feiying’s cargo.”

“They really have a long reach,” Jiang Zhe remarked.

“You’re telling me. But the Night Alliance got played by Feiying last time—that time I took advantage of the fire to score a few bottles of red wine. It was said that there was a traitor within the Night Alliance who colluded with Feiying, allowing them to succeed. This time the Night Alliance is raiding Feiying’s cargo as payback. Maybe I can even take the chance to snag some limited-edition red wines.”

Yang Feiliu seemed very interested.

Unlike Jiang Zhe’s detached lassitude, she loved being part of the action.

Wherever there was excitement, there was her shadow.

Jiang Zhe then asked no further questions.

At lunchtime in the cafeteria, a message from Yang Feiliu came in leisurely, “I think the Night Alliance might take a fall this time.”

“?” Jiang Zhe sent back a question mark.

“M Country’s satellite navigation system will undergo maintenance and transition tonight after midnight. There will be a few thirty-second gaps during the handover, and Feiying’s people have somehow gotten wind of this, but the Night Alliance seems to be in the dark still, resulting in delays in their communications.”

Jiang Zhe frowned slightly.

Yang Feiliu knew this was normal, as she always had access to resources from M Country’s satellite navigation system.

But for Feiying to be aware, it must have cost them a hefty sum.

Although the few thirty-second interruptions would have no impact on ordinary people, for operations like the Night Alliance’s, where every second counts, the consequences could be very serious.

Jiang Zhe put down her chopsticks and held her phone with both hands.

Xiao Meng and Xia Enci noticed that she had stopped eating, a little puzzled.

But seeing her serious expression and the slight droop of her fox-like eyes, they knew the situation was significant and did not disturb her.

Jiang Zhe closed the dialogue box and opened an app shaped like a deck of cards, entering it.

The Nebula Map and satellite navigation system appeared on her phone screen.

It was noon in Dragon Emperor Country, which was midnight over the Atlantic Ocean.

By the time Fen Ye realized there was a delay in the communication with the ships sailing on the ocean, it was already too late.

“Jingchen, we’re experiencing delays in our communication with ships A and B. I can’t accurately distribute the precisely controlled location information to them in sync,” Fen Ye said, holding the controller in shock.

Qin Jingchen took the handheld controller from him, realizing the problem, “An issue with the satellite navigation system…”
