Chapter 856: 333, come and check with me!

Ji Heng’s anger clearly exceeded their expectations.

From the time they met Ji Heng, he had always been indifferently stable, his emotions not outwardly evident; one couldn’t tell from his expression whether he was happy or angry.

When Xu En first visited Xiangcheng, Ji Mulan had provoked Ji Heng due to Bai Lian’s issue, but even then, Ji Heng remained exceptionally composed.

He had witnessed Bai Lian’s imposing aura and had even wondered who Bai Lian really resembled.

At this moment, Ji Heng’s narrowed eyes and the reined-in aura of his body made even Xu En reluctant to meet his gaze.

“Grandpa, please don’t be angry, don’t be angry,” Pu Xiaohan reacted, going over to pat Ji Heng’s back, “You must be fine, we are also waiting for Principal Shi’s news, Third Brother Xu and Sister Chen are following up on it as well.”

Ning Xiao was inquiring about this matter with Zhou Wenqing and Shun Yu.

Beside them, Xu En, looking at Ji Heng’s face, thought that Pu Xiaohan’s reassurance was indeed not wrong.

Ji Heng’s expression was not one of anxiety, but rather…

Anger.

It was very strange.

Ji Heng calmed himself for a moment before heading to his own room.

He reached into the bottom of a trunk and took out a sandalwood box which, if Bai Lian were here, she would certainly recognize; he had shown it to her before.

The box still contained a pile of photographs.

The woman in the black and white photos was gentle and beautiful. Ji Heng ran his hands over these photos, then reached to the bottom of the box.

He took out a small badge from inside.

When he came back out, Xu En saw that Ji Heng was holding a cellphone in his hand.

Ji Heng stopped and asked Xu En about the current situation of the Xu Family.

“It’s alright,” Xu En’s private equity mostly worked with overseas partners, Bai Lian wasn’t legally included in the Xu Clan, nor was she his stepdaughter, so the impact wasn’t significant, “Things aren’t looking great for President Mu for the time being.”

But it was different for the Mu Family; Xuan Kang was directly cooperating with the Mu Family.

It wasn’t too favorable for the Mu Family’s medical research institute.

Ji Heng pursed his lips, “Let’s go, I need you to drive me somewhere.”

Zhang Shize and Pu Xiaohan hadn’t learned to drive yet, so of everyone in room 103, Xu En was the only one who could drive.

Xu En quickly grabbed the car keys and followed Ji Heng.

Ji Heng and Xu En left the house, while Zhang Shize and Pu Xiaohan stayed in room 103, exchanging puzzled looks.

Jiang University.

Xu Wenyao called Dean Huang.

Dean Huang assured him to focus on the data, with only one sentence: “Don’t worry, she won’t have any problems.”

After hanging up the phone, Dean Huang looked at You Xinzheng, who was sitting in the office chair, his complexion not looking very good, “Big brother, any news from the teacher?”

“No.” You Xinzheng shook his head.

The two of them fell silent again for a long while.

The incident at the snowy mountains twenty years ago was not the end; this time, the impact was going to be even more serious.

Academician Ma and Jiang Fulai, both of them, ah.

“Big brother, you need to get ready soon,” Dean Huang straightened up and looked out the window, “Little sister signed the 925 secret contract; we have to prepare for her to move to the front and start accepting disciples on behalf of the teacher.”

The two of them knew that Bai Lian’s research direction was the same as their teacher’s.

If Ma Tongfeng really didn’t return this time, they had to be prepared to let her step into the limelight.

**

Not many people knew about Bai Lian’s situation.

The Wen Family.

Right after Wen Zhixia finished discussing the promotion project with Uncle Wen, she received a WeChat message from her former classmate at Beicheng High School, with a link—

[I remember last year, the Bai Family was saying that Bai Lian, the national top scorer, was part of their Bai Family, so why are they now releasing news to dissociate themselves from her?]

Last year, the Bai Clan had made several trips to Xiangcheng but failed to bring Bai Lian back; Wen Zhixia had heard about it too.

But she had not given it much thought.

Until now.

Wen Zhixia opened the news link, which was very straightforward; Bai Qiming publicly dissociated himself from Bai Lian, stating that as early as last year Bai Lian was no longer listed in the Bai Family household register…

Based on Wen Zhixia’s understanding of the Bai Family, Bai Qiming would never release this news for no reason.

When they saw Bai Shaoke’s talent, they were willing to damage their own reputation and make repeated solicitations to have Bai Shaoke return to them.

Now, Bai Lian had demonstrated potential far exceeding Bai Shaoke’s, and Wen Zhixia did not believe the Bai Family would give up on Bai Lian so easily.

She pressed her phone, sending the news to Bai Lian and adding a question mark.

Bai Lian did not reply directly; Wen Zhixia was not surprised, sometimes Bai Lian was too busy with experiments to carry her phone.

She would reply when she saw it.

But this time, until eleven o’clock at night, Bai Lian still had not responded.

Wen Zhixia frowned, having just finished showering; while drying her hair, she called Bai Lian’s phone, only to find it turned off.

The hand that was drying her hair paused, and she turned to send a message to Pu Xiaohan.

Of the friends Bai Lian made in Xiangcheng, she was more familiar with Pu Xiaohan than others.
