Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Shengbao’s Fourth Alias - Research Tycoon

On the other side, Lu Sheng had already opened the car door and stepped down from the taxi parked by the roadside.

In front of her stood a vast, stern and modern white building.

Two uniformed armed security guards stood at the entrance, and the sign for "China Biological Pharmaceutical Research Institute" was very conspicuous, exuding a mysterious and solemn aura.

Just by looking at the two armed police meticulously holding their weapons, one could tell that this place was clearly not for ordinary people and was also protected by the state.

An ordinary person would probably just look from afar and hesitate to come any closer. Yet Lu Sheng, wearing a pair of canvas shoes, boldly walked towards the main entrance.

"Wait, stop—"

Seeing Lu Sheng walking toward the institute, the two security guards furrowed their brows and called out to her in unison.

They had noticed the young girl getting off the taxi earlier and thought she was merely passing by; they hadn’t expected her to actually head towards the institute.

"Young lady, are you lost?" one of the security guards pointed at the sign as if afraid Lu Sheng had seen it wrong, "This is the China Biological Pharmaceutical Research Institute."

"I know this is the institute," unexpectedly, the girl remained composed after hearing his words, "I am here to find someone."

—To find someone?

Both guards were taken aback and looked at each other.

"Young lady, do you know what kind of place this is?"

The guard asked sternly, "Ordinary people are not allowed inside, not even the families of the researchers."

Lu Sheng replied, "I’m not a family member of a researcher. I’m here to find Dean Peng, I am his friend."

—To find Dean Peng?

Both guards were even more astonished upon hearing this.

Professor Peng Hongyuan had just turned fifty this year, famously known for his quirky temperament and reclusive nature, having devoted most of his life solely to scientific research, he never even married.

This institute had been established for about seven or eight years, besides Professor Peng’s students, they had never seen any friends of his coming to visit him.

But more importantly, the young girl in front of them seemed entirely like a high school student.

Professor Peng usually interacted with scholars and professors over fifty in the scientific community; how could a high school girl possibly be a friend of his? This must be a joke!

"Young lady, don’t joke around," the guard frowned and said, "No matter what you came for, this is not a place for kids to just walk into, please leave."

Lu Sheng’s expression remained unchanged: "Brother, could you please notify them for me? Tell Dean Peng that Lan Xing is here to see him."

"If Dean Peng says he doesn’t want to see me, I’ll leave immediately and won’t cause you any trouble."

Hearing this, both guards couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

The girl did not seem to be joking, and even if it was a high school prank, nobody would dare to play a prank in such a place.

Thinking it over, one guard replied: "Alright then, I’ll go in and inform them, please wait here for a moment."

And so, Lu Sheng stood waiting outside.

It was almost noon, and the golden sunlight showered down on the earth, casting large shadows from the trees lining the road, making everything seem languid.

Lu Sheng had been standing for barely three minutes when she saw a somewhat disheveled man with unkempt hair and beard hurry out.

The man was clearly aged, with a decent appearance and graying temples, and his face had many wrinkles.

He wore a somewhat yellowed white lab coat and sported a pair of thick old-school frame glasses; as soon as he stepped out of the main gate, he excitedly looked around.

"Where is he? Where is Lan Xing?!"
