The dorm matron was a bit displeased and reminded them, "You need to be earlier next time. You must be back before eleven o'clock."
"Okay, ma'am. We understand. It won't happen again!" Hu Shanshan replied politely.
Chen Ru and Nan Xia helped Bai Xi into the dorm room while Hu Shanshan carried her bag.
"Xixi, what's wrong with you?" Hu Shanshan asked.
"I feel a bit dizzy. I might be slightly anemic," Bai Xi said weakly, leaning against Chen Ru.
Meanwhile, Han Yuanshan, carrying the USB flash drive and accompanied by several academicians, took a red-eye charter flight to Beijing.
A colonel in military uniform greeted them. "Good morning, Academicians!"
"Hello, hello!" Han Yuanshan handed the note Bai Xi had left behind to the colonel. "The person who left this didn't want to leave a name. They must have their reasons."
"Please rest assured. The state will handle this properly," the colonel replied politely.
