Perhaps, besides Lin Chuqiao, only the Professor is aware of this relationship.
Bai Ling on the other end of the phone clearly paused for a moment, and the chirping abruptly stopped:
"Crow and the Professor? Didn't they go to Tian Nan Province for something? Boss, you don't know?"
"I've been a bit busy lately and haven't been in touch much."
Fang Cheng explained casually, and asked again:
"What are they there for?"
"Well... I'm not quite sure either."
Bai Ling's tone carried some hesitation, the phone went silent for a moment, as if she was striving to recall and organize her words.
"Seems like it is related to a friend the Professor knew many years ago..."
"They didn't explain the details to us; during the gathering, they briefly mentioned the trip, saying it was quite a significant private affair."
"Have you been in touch with them recently?"
"No."
Bai Ling answered straightforwardly.
