Gu Xiaoyun and the two senior brothers waited at the door for a long time and did not see Professor Ge.

It's been almost half an hour since the scheduled breakfast, and they had planned to finish breakfast early and then go to the venue to get everything ready. Why is Professor Ge still missing?

I remember he was a very punctual person.

"Ji Yan, what's wrong with Professor Ge?" For Senior Brother Sao Bao, she will never call Senior Brother. All the people in their lab are directly identified by their names.

I don't think it's necessary. Although there is an age gap between the two, they are also of the same generation.

"I don't know." Senior Brother Sao Bao shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe it's not ready yet." As he spoke, he lowered his head and began to play with his phone. crossed Erlang's legs, and didn't feel anything wrong at all.

Gu Xiaoyun and the other senior brother looked at each other. Why can't this man be serious?

"But it's been half an hour now, and if we don't come down, we're going to reprimand." She couldn't help but remind. There was a faint uneasiness in my heart. Just because it's so abnormal.

"I know, that's why I sent him a text just now."

"And what did he say?"

"Didn't say anything."

Gu Xiaoyun: "......"

"Oh, what are you in a hurry? And there wasn't much to prepare. Ji Yan said as a matter of course: "Professor Ge will naturally come down when he sees it." After speaking, he continued to play his game with his head down.

"The question is why hasn't he come down yet?" Gu Xiaoyun rolled her eyes, she really couldn't understand how such a person got a doctorate from University B? Are you sure that his paper is not fake? "Isn't it even weirder that you've messaged him?"

I have to say that this senior brother is really big-hearted, and he doesn't feel anything at all after being like this.

Being half an hour late is not in line with Professor Ge's style. There is no reason to continue to delay without saying a word after Ji Yan sent a text message urging him.

If you're really not ready, how can you talk to them? What's more, there doesn't seem to be anything to prepare for this academic meeting except for props. There was no talk of what kind of clothes or shoes to wear. Although many people wear suits and shirts out of the desire to find a company, Professor Ge is different. People already have a career, and they are thriving in the industry.

Only those companies do his part, where does he need to look for companies.

Because of this, he doesn't even care about how he dresses. I just wore a simple shirt yesterday and went. It doesn't make sense to suddenly want to dress up on a whim today.

Turning his head to look at the other senior brother, "Wang Yi, did you find anything wrong with Professor Ge yesterday?" ”

The latter shook his head. However, he also seemed to be a little worried, "He went back to his room by himself after dinner yesterday." Nothing out of the ordinary. ”

Gu Xiaoyun's worry was even worse, and he proposed a little nervously: "Why don't we go and ask someone at the front desk to open the door?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Ji Yan say: "He's back!" ”

"What did he say?" Hurrying forward, tilting his head to read the message on his screen.

The reply above is simple, "You guys go to dinner first, and I'll be fine right away." ”

They go first? Gu Xiaoyun frowned. So he's not going to eat?

"It may be true that there is something important to put." Wang Yi guessed. Even though he said this, he didn't have much confidence. I also vaguely feel that this is too inconsistent with Professor Ge's style.

"Really?" The uneasiness in Gu Xiaoyun's heart gradually magnified. But I couldn't find anything wrong. I could only be silent.

"Let's go, let's go eat first, don't waste time, and the academic meeting will be reprimanded by then." Senior Brother Sao Bao didn't feel anything wrong at all. Swaggering towards the hotel's restaurant, "Alas, they're all dying of hunger." Professor Ge didn't go to school sooner. I've endured it for so long. ”

Gu Xiaoyun and Wang Yi looked at each other, and after a short hesitation, they still followed.

Maybe she's thinking too much.

However, when a few people had finished breakfast and there was only a quarter of an hour left before the academic meeting began, Gu Xiaoyun really began to get anxious. Professor Ge hadn't said anything for a long time since he sent that message to Senior Brother Sao Bao. He is nowhere to be seen yet. If you can barely explain that he is not ready, let them go first. But now?

The academic conference will begin soon. All the props are in Professor Ge's. How could he irresponsibly continue to drag on? No matter what, let them take the props to the venue first!

"No! We've got to check it out! Gu Xiaoyun couldn't sit still, and said immediately. She couldn't wait any longer, even if Professor Ge was really preparing, she would have to take a look. Not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Wang Yi seems to agree. Nodding in response, he stood up and prepared to go with her to the front desk. Even Senior Brother Sao Bao showed a worried expression.

A group of people went to the front desk to ask for help. It took a long time to explain so that the other party understood the seriousness of the matter.

Although Professor Ge is not very old, he is not young in the end, and if he falls or bumps into it, the hotel is likely to be in trouble.

The front desk first tried to contact Professor Ge by phone. After nothing came of it, he finally came with them to the door of Professor Ge's room. He knocked on the door first, "Mr. Ge, are you inside?" ”

“......”

After knocking on the door a few more times and getting no answer, the front desk also started to get nervous. Quickly took out the room card and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, three men rushed in.

"Professor Ge?"

"......" no one responded.

Everything in the spacious and bright room was neat, and Professor Ge's suitcase was placed at the head of the bed. It doesn't seem to have been opened like that. No other items have been moved. Even the sheets and quilts are meticulous.

Either that, Professor Ge is really tidy and can't wait for the hotel's cleaning aunt to clean up. Either that or no one slept here yesterday.

Two possibilities, her intuition told her that it should be the second. But I still hope that it is the first one.

"Professor Ge?" Gu Xiaoyun called again without giving up.

There was still silence in her answer.

The design of the room is not complicated, and the scene in it is clear at a glance. It is simply impossible to hide people. In addition, the door in the bathroom was open, and it was pitch black inside. Turn on the light and look like that, it doesn't look like someone has used it.

Obviously, Professor Ge is not here.

The heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

What about Professor Ge?

Turning his head, he looked at the two senior brothers dumbfounded. His throat seemed to be choked by something, and he opened his mouth a few times before he reluctantly asked, "Ge, where is Professor Ge?" ”

Didn't you just say that he was still preparing? Why didn't you even see his figure at this time?
