CHAPTER 1322 IT'S 'FANG'!

Jiang Ning walked in and looked around. His gaze eventually rested on the two assistants.

"These are Professor Lu's students and they are here to assist him," explained Butler Zhao.

Jiang Ning nodded. "Where's Professor Lu?"

"Professor Lu is resting, he's too tired," said one of the students.

They looked rather curiously at Jiang Ning.

They didn't expect the usually stern and authoritative Butler Zhao to be so respectful towards Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning didn't say anything and walked towards Lu Jing's rest lounge.

"Professor Lu is resting," the same student called out to Jiang Ning. "Could you let him rest for a while first? He hasn't slept in days."

Jiang Ning stopped and turned to look at the student, to find that the student looked extremely haggard and his eyes were also bloodshot. There were a lot of books and documents on the table, and they had been looked through several times.

All this was done in an attempt to just find any sort of clues.

"Sure, I'll come back to look for him after he wakes up. Both of you should rest too." Jiang Ning turned to Butler Zhao, "Let's go."

Just as he finished saying this, the door of the rest lounge opened. Lu Jing's hair was a mess, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

He heard Jiang Ning's voice and immediately woke up and came running out.

"Jiang Ning!"

"Professor Lu." Jiang Ning smiled. "Why don't you take a longer rest first?"

"It's not important now," Lu Jing waved his hands to stop his students from persuading him otherwise. "I can always sleep later."

"I have a new discovery! Come with me!”

He quickly led Jiang Ning towards his own office. The two students exchanged glances and decided not to say anymore.

Lu Jing was very excited.

He felt that the feeling of having someone to share his findings and to be supported and trusted by someone was better than just researching for his own sake.

He had just told Butler Zhao that he had a discovery and Jiang Ning had come rushing over already. This made him feel like he had found a buddy in Jiang Ning.

"Professor Lu, you still have to take care of yourself. If you want to continue your research, you have to make sure you're healthy enough to do so," said Jiang Ning with a laugh.

"Don't worry, I'm in very good shape!" Lu Jing wasn't too concerned. He pulled out a notebook from the mess of documents and he was probably the only one who could read any of the things written inside it.

"Look at this." He pulled out paper with the picture of that red cloud printed on it and placed it in front of Jiang Ning. "I told you the last time that this is a word and that it could represent a form of civilization, right? I've found the word."

"Oh?" Jiang Ning glanced up at him. "You've found it?”

"That's right!" Lu Jing was very excited. This belongs to : ©.

"I'm 100% sure!"

"Jiang Ning, why don't you guess how to read this word?"

He pointed at the red cloud.

Jiang Ning laughed and shook his head.

There was no way he could guess it.

"Professor Lu, why don't you tell me what it is? I didn't even graduate from elementary school, you know," said Jiang Ning jokingly.

"Hahaha! You're being too humble!"

Lu Jing was a stubborn man, but since he could become a professor, he wasn't stupid. He could tell that Jiang Ning was definitely way more intelligent and capable than his peers to be able to have the position and identity he had right now.

He didn't tease Jiang Ning anymore and rapped his fingers hard on the table twice as his voice became very serious.

"This red cloud looks like a picture, but it is really a word!"

"According to the Chinese characters we have today, this word should be read as 'Fang'!"

Lu Jing paused for a moment. His excited expression carried a tinge of resolution. "I'm guessing that this is possibly referring to a surname."

"Fang?" Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's right! That squarish character, 'Fang'! The same word as the surname 'Fang'!" said Lu Jing with great confidence.
