Bai Yan turned to look at him: "Yes, I'm moving out."

Yan Qi's gaze fell on her with a hint of suspicion: "Why?"

Bai Yan replied naturally, "I have a research project to do, and time is very tight. I plan to live in the lab for the next month and go home when I have solved the problem."

"Is that so?" Yan Qi's brows relaxed, and he looked at Bai Yan with gentle eyes: "Bai Yan, we are already married, you are my wife, and I don't want you to have such a hard life."

“If you really can’t keep going, you can go home and be a full-time housewife.”

Bai Yan lowered her eyes, concealing a hint of coldness in them.

When she looked up, her eyes had returned to normal. She looked at Yan Qi and smiled, "Of course, I know everything you've done for me, but I still want to try for myself one more time."

She said gently, "You need to be careful at home too."

"The path up in the attic is difficult to walk on, be careful not to fall."

Although the words were meant to be caring, Yan Qi felt something was off. But meeting Bai Yan's gentle gaze, he still nodded.

After Bai Yan's figure left, he immediately picked up his phone and made a call.

"Do you know what happened? She suddenly moved out of her house and said she wanted to live in the lab?" Yan Qi asked.

The person on the other end of the phone was Shen Zhibo. He frowned slightly: "Move in to live in the lab?"

Then I thought, "Oh, it might be because of the layoffs."

Shen Zhibo then recounted how Bai Yan had a big argument with Professor Lin that day, and how she declared that she would not leave the lab and would produce satisfactory research results before the deadline.

That makes sense. Yan Qi then asked, "Do you think she can pass?"

Shen Zhibo said, "It's absolutely impossible. Putting aside her own abilities and funding, she wouldn't be able to get past Professor Lin."

"You know who Professor Lin is."

Hearing this, Yan Qi was completely relieved. "After this matter is over, I will arrange for you to go to the Yan Group headquarters." Then he hung up the phone.

A slight smile played on his lips. Although there had been some minor mishaps, everything was proceeding according to his plan.

After Bai Yan is admitted to the graduate school, she will inevitably make many friends. A University is an internationally renowned university, so he cannot let her develop unchecked, but he also has no way to make her drop out.

So he used his connections to get her a job under Lin Hai, who was extremely popular and sought after.

He had a conflict with Lin Hai before, and he was well aware of Lin Hai's vindictive nature.

As expected.

Once Lin Hai drives her away, she will lose support in both social and professional spheres, and her previous plans can still proceed.

He will lead her step by step to her doom.

...

Inside a hospital ward.

Under Shen Cong's persistent questioning, Ji Bei finally revealed the reason for his illness that day, his expression somewhat forlorn: "She got married."

Although he had accepted the fact, just saying it aloud made his jealousy and resentment surge uncontrollably.

While lying in the hospital bed, he even considered immorally destroying her marriage.

"You're married?" Shen Cong was slightly taken aback, then immediately took out his phone.

He has a good temper and is popular. He has a wide network of connections in universities, and the investigation was completed in no time.

"She's married, to her senior from A University's main campus. Yan Qi, do you know him? That medical genius, I remember your family had some kind of collaboration with his family, right?"

The Ji family is in the medical equipment business, so it's perfectly normal for them to cooperate with the Yan family.

Upon hearing Yan Qi's name, Ji Bei paused for a moment. They were not from the same generation; Yan Qi was more than twelve years older than him.

But given that he came from the Yan family and possessed the aura of a genius, Ji Bei had certainly heard of him, and had even met this 'genius' at a banquet.

But doesn't he like that girl from the Si family? Aren't they childhood sweethearts? Didn't the Yan and Si families agree to a marriage alliance?

All sorts of strange thoughts swirled in his mind, but when he saw the needle in his arm, he sighed and hung his head in dejection...

With this disease, how could he possibly hope to kiss a bouquet of bright roses?

Seeing his dejected appearance, Shen Cong said, "But it's for the best. You've only known each other for a short time, so you can extricate yourself in time." He then looked at Ji Bei and asked, "Didn't you invest in her lab? Has the collaboration ended?"

Ji Bei looked up: "Why do you want to end it?" Her marriage didn't affect his feelings for her.

Before meeting her, he never imagined that he could love someone so passionately.

He didn't want to have nothing to do with her.

If it were simply a teacher-student relationship, their social connection would end once she finished teaching there.

But investing is different; he can still meet with her.

"Ji Bei!" Shen Cong couldn't help but shake his love-struck brain out: "Can you please wake up? Bai Yan is married, and her husband is that genius from the Yan family. Do you think she would lack a little bit of research funding?"

“She has a husband, so even if her research fails, she can go back to her family. But you're different. You're a patient, and you can't play professionally anymore! Your dad and stepmother won't take care of you; that money is your fallback plan!”

Shen Cong said, "To put it bluntly, you're a student, while she has social experience. It's hard to say what her motives are for deliberately getting close to you."

Shen Cong also thought that this was indeed the case, otherwise why would the Yan family's wife accept Ji Bei's tens of millions of assets?

Upon hearing this, Ji Bei's brows furrowed slightly. "You don't understand her, so what gives you the right to slander her like this?"

"She's not that kind of person. If you continue to slander her like this, don't blame me for being impolite."

Shen Cong laughed in anger: "Ji Bei, you idiot! You can be a love-struck fool if you want, I don't care about you anymore!" He grabbed his coat and stormed out of the ward.

Ji Bei lowered his face. He knew her; he just knew.

...

Bai Yan did not return to the research lab in the academy, but instead went to a secret base of the country.

She was led to the reception room to wait. About five minutes later, several people in military uniforms escorted several bespectacled, scholarly-looking men into the room.

The leader's gaze fell on Bai Yan. Seeing how young she was, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Are you really confident you can cure the general?"

"Did you really write that research report? Didn't anyone guide you?"

Bai Yan looked at him, her time was very tight, and she really didn't want to waste it on these boring explanations.

But she also knew that the original owner was too young, and that taking out such a thing would naturally arouse suspicion.

“You don’t need to test me,” Bai Yan said. “I wrote the report, and the specific research direction is in my mind. I can explain it immediately.”

She has been to thousands of planes, and humans in interstellar planes can live to be two to five hundred years old.

The knowledge she gained from those past dimensions is her most precious treasure.

And she has the ability to bring such wealth here.
