My past life exposure shocked the entire internet.

"That's right, it's that bastard Duan Hongli!" Professor Yu Wen jumped up in anger. "I've already seen his evil ambitions. He didn't even consider whether his strength can support the deep-sea submarine project."

"Duan Hongli and I graduated from the same major at Yunjing University." Academician Wu thought for a moment and said, "We also went to Global University as exchange students for a year together, and finally entered the research institute in the same year, but he has not yet been elected as an academician."

"Everyone has jealousy." Ye Wanlan said calmly, "But if jealousy leads to disgust, then it shouldn't exist."

"He took advantage of the opportunity this time." Professor Yuwen was furious. "He took advantage of the dean's business trip. If the dean was here, he would never dare to do this."

"Well, the dean is not here." Ye Wanlan said lightly, "Then let's clean up the garbage in the institute before the dean comes back."

When she said this, there was no fluctuation in her tone of voice, and she spoke in a calm tone as if she was asking whether we should go to West Street for tea today.

Academician Wu was shocked by Ye Wanlan's words: "Xiao Ye? You..."

Although the Yunjing Research Institute is a place with strong academic and professional characteristics, and researchers mostly deal with machines, in fact, the level of chaos is not much lower than that of the five major families.

Where there are many people, there will be disputes.

Especially when there is a conflict of interests, contradictions will be further intensified and intrigue will be everywhere.

People like Duan Hongli are not uncommon, and they are willing to do anything even if it harms the overall interests.

"Don't worry about such a small matter." Yan Tingfeng said, "I'll let the people below take care of it."

"Just deal with it casually." Ye Wanlan nodded at him. "On the way here, I checked all of Duan Hongli's information and will send it to the public mailbox of Bureau 723 later."

Yan Tingfeng blinked gently: "Okay."

"Mr. Wu, you should have a good rest first." Ye Wanlan stood up. "Don't worry about the rest. Just wait for the normal experiment tomorrow."

Yan Tingfeng followed Ye Wanlan and left the room together.

The door was closed, but the room was still quiet, without any sound.

"..."

After a long time, Professor Yuwen stared and squeezed out two words from his throat: "A small matter?"

Academician Wu opened his mouth wide: "Just deal with it casually?"

The two looked at each other, feeling that their three perspectives had been severely impacted.

They are becoming less and less able to understand the world where young people kill decisively.

**
At this moment, the Xiang family.

After the Xiang family elders decided to give the Xuantian Jade to Lin Shiyuan, the Xiang family invited Lin Shiyuan to be their guest and enter the Qianyuan Treasury together.

Lin Shiyuan smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you elders. Shiyuan would like to express her gratitude here."

"Hey, Shi Yuan, you don't have to be polite to us." The elder of the Xiang family said with a smile, "We old guys have watched you grow up together. If there is anything good, besides Shao Yu and his brothers, we will definitely think of you first."

In the eyes of the seven elders of the Xiang family, Lin Shiyuan is half a member of the Xiang family.

The third elder of the Xiang family also laughed: "Shi Yuan is too outstanding. She is the future head of the Lin family. Otherwise, it would be a great thing if she could marry Shao Yu."

"It is our Shao Yu who is unlucky." The Sixth Elder of the Xiang Family felt very sorry, "But it is also very good for the two children to be close friends."

Lin Shiyuan clasped his fists, not showing any emotion: "Thank you for your kindness, elders."

She looked around and found that Xiang Shaoyu was not there.

Under the leadership of the Xiang family elders, Lin Shiyuan entered the legendary Qianyuan Treasure House for the first time.

She observed the items stored in the treasure house very calmly, also to ensure that she could obtain more information about the Xiang family through these items.

"If Shi Yuan hadn't mentioned the Xuan Tian Jade, we would have almost forgotten about it." The Xiang family's elder said slowly, "Several years ago, the Rong family said that in the future, a person with a destiny comparable to Princess Yongning would appear in Shenzhou. Maybe, the person destined to have this Xuan Tian Jade is you, Shi Yuan." Lin Shi Yuan remained calm: "Grand Elder, you are too kind."

The second elder of the Xiang family's expression changed, and he suddenly asked: "Brother, why isn't Xuan Tianyu here?"

This one sentence shocked the entire elders group.

The Xuantian Jade has indeed been stored in the Qianyuan Treasury for three hundred years. It has always been put aside and the number of times it has been taken out can be counted on one hand.

The elders were also very sure that the Xuantian Jade was on this shelf.

But at this moment, the shelf was empty, even the box containing the Xuantian Jade was gone.

"Could it be that when the Qianyuan Treasury was opened last time, some bad guys took the opportunity to sneak in and stole the Xuantian Jade?" The fourth elder of the Xiang family put forward his own idea, "Otherwise, the Xuantian Jade would definitely not disappear for no reason."

The Xiang family's elder frowned and ordered, "Call Shao Yu."

Three minutes later, Xiang Shaoyu walked over slowly, fanning himself.

His gaze stayed on Lin Shiyuan for less than half a second before he nodded to the Xiang family's elder: "Elder, you are looking for me."

"The Xuantian Jade is missing." The elder of the Xiang family asked, "Shao Yu, when was the last time you saw the Xuantian Jade?"

"I'm so busy, how could I remember such things?" Xiang Shaoyu shrugged. "But it just so happened that the Xuantian Jade disappeared just when you were about to give it away. Maybe the jade has a spirit and ran away on its own. After all, its former owner was Princess Yongning, who was only one step away from the throne. How could it be given away casually?"

This sentence clearly sounded like nonsense, but it actually made the Xiang family elders fall silent.

After a long while, the Xiang family elder finally let out a long breath: "Shi Yuan, I'm really sorry. You've seen that the Xuantian Jade has disappeared. Let's discuss this matter after we find the Xuantian Jade."

Lin Shiyuan's eyes turned cold, but his expression was still respectful: "I am sorry to bother you all today. Shiyuan will take his leave first."

Xiang Shaoyu smiled and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't send Sister Shiyuan off."

Xuan Tianyu had already acknowledged Ye Wanlan as his master, and he didn't even mention a word about the head of the Xiang family.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust the head of the Xiang family, but walls have ears, and the more people know, the greater the possibility of the news leaking out.

As soon as these words came out, the elders of the Xiang family were shut up.

"Goodbye." Lin Shiyuan nodded politely to Xiang Shaoyu, then left with his confidant.

After leaving the Xiang family and getting in the car, Lin Shiyuan's eyes turned completely cold.

"Miss Shi Yuan, I think the Xiang family's claim that the Xuan Tian Jade is lost is definitely just an excuse!" The young man looked angry, "They are clearly saying one thing in public and another behind the scenes. They promised well in public, but in the end they went back on their word and refused to give you the Xuan Tian Jade."

Lin Shiyuan looked calm, as if he was not affected at all: "The things originally belonged to the Xiang family. It's not their fault if they don't want to give them to him."

“And Master Shao Yu, weren’t those few words of his earlier sarcastic remarks about how you are not as good as Princess Yongning, yet you still want Princess Yongning’s things?” The young man spoke up for Lin Shiyuan, “No matter how powerful Princess Yongning was, she died three hundred years ago. I think the Xiang family will just have to live on those assets for the rest of their lives!”

"Yes." Lin Shiyuan seemed to smile, "After all, Princess Yongning is dead."

The dead can't fight for anything.

Her plan would not be ruined by the lack of Xuantian Jade.

**
The sun sets and night falls, but the Yunjing Research Institute is still brightly lit.

Duan Hongli had been worried all day, but when he found out that no one was taking him away, he finally felt relieved.

Although he made a mistake in reporting, he cannot be convicted on this basis.

Duan Hongli packed his briefcase and just opened the office door when, with a "click", a pair of handcuffs locked him.

"Duan Hongli, you are suspected of illegally occupying the property of the institute, embezzling experimental funds many times, and fabricating evidence to slander Academician Wu Weiying. You are under arrest." (End of this chapter)
