Chapter 213 Guessing Mei Nan's Identity

After receiving the threatening phone call from Skinny Monkey that day, Yu Yan and Shao Muyan received death threats in the following days. The threats contained bullets and ordered them to hand over the chips and important data they had, or face the consequences.

Security agencies and police have fully intervened to protect the scientists' safety.

Since Shao Yun's accident, Academician Yu has stopped going anywhere and stayed in Shangzhou. He wants to keep a close eye on his beloved student and granddaughter and make sure nothing happens to them.

Chairman Shao and his wife were the same.

An official announcement was made that Upstate was going to hold a confidential scientific symposium. The citizens of Upstate saw the news announcement, and many hospitals, venues and hotels were booked up immediately. Several main roads in the city were also blocked.

Xiang Jingheng did not receive any notification for this meeting, let alone an invitation.

"Did you find out? What kind of research conference is it?"

Xiang Jingheng frowned and asked Jin Fan.

Jin Fan shook his head, equally at a loss. "It's really strange. As soon as the news came out, the CEOs of the other tech companies also called to inquire about the situation, and none of them received an invitation. If it were a local seminar, it would be understandable, but this is such a high-profile seminar, and it's being held in Shangzhou. It's just not right that none of our companies were invited."

The vice president said, "Could it be a purely technical discussion, unrelated to business, which is why they didn't invite us?"

Xiang Jingheng's expression was somber. "There's no such rule. If it were a purely confidential seminar, it wouldn't be so grand. For purely technical issues, a simple meeting between a group of people would suffice. Why make such a fuss?"

That's why he felt something was wrong.

"Should we ask Yu Yan?"

The vice president said, "In the research community now, not just in Shangzhou, but across the country, no conference can avoid mentioning Yu Yan. Even if she doesn't attend, Shao Muyan will. Why don't you find out a bit, so we can be prepared?"

Just as Xiang Jingheng was about to frown, the vice president said righteously, "Put aside your pride!"

"Get out!"

Xiang Jingheng threw a tissue at him, "What does this have to do with face? It's not that I can't call Yu Yan, the problem is, if I do call, will she tell me?"

"that is."

Jin Fan spoke up for Xiang Jingheng, saying, "In Professor Yu's eyes, President Xiang's ex-husband is not as important as me now. I can get more influence by making a phone call than he can by doing so."

Xiang Jingheng: You motherfucker...

Even though it's true, is it okay to say it like that?

Jin Fan gave him a forced smile, then took out his phone and dialed Yu Yan's number.

Xiang Jingheng and Vice President Liu Hai both pricked up their ears, waiting.

"The call didn't go through."

Jin Fan put down his phone. Just as Xiang Jingheng was about to scoff at him to save face, his phone vibrated. Jin Fan answered immediately, "Professor Yu, I'm sorry to bother you."

Xiang Jingheng: "..."

They actually accepted it?!

Why doesn't she answer his calls every time he calls her?

Xiang Jingheng, the ex-husband, was already feeling uncomfortable because he had lost face in front of his ex-wife. To make matters worse, there was this jerk next to him watching him gleefully. Xiang Jingheng was so angry that he threw a pen at her, thinking to himself: What are you laughing at!

You're not divorced? Aren't you someone's ex-husband's brother?

Liu Hai put the pen back with a forced smile, then leaned close to Xiang Jingheng's ear, as if enjoying the drama, and said, "You really need to learn from me in this respect. I get along very well with Wenwen's mother. She answers my calls instantly. Do you know why? Because every time I call, it's to send money to them. I always say that your trick of making Yu Yan leave with nothing back then was too despicable. See, karma has come back to bite you."

Xiang Jingheng, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed Liu Hai's arm and pinned him to the table.

"Hey, hey, a gentleman uses words, not fists—"

"President Xiang!"

After making the call, Jin Fan rushed over to rescue Vice President Liu.

Xiang Jingheng was already in a bad mood lately, and Liu Hai's actions only fueled his anger. With his chest heaving and his face dark, he asked Jin Fan, "What did Yu Yan say to you?"

Jin Fan rubbed Liu Hai's arms, who was grimacing, and said, "I didn't ask much, just whether the seminar had anything to do with us. Professor Yu didn't say much either, just that it had nothing to do with us and that we should just do what we were doing and not worry about it."

Xiang Jingheng raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "What kind of nonsense are these questions!"

“However,” Jin Fan changed the subject, “Professor Yu did instruct me to tell you to strengthen security in the laboratory and pay attention to safety.”

Xiang Jingheng's brows relaxed for a moment, then tightened again.

Could this confidential seminar be related to the recent attack on the Upstate University experimental center?

The thought had barely crossed my mind when my phone rang abruptly.

For some reason, Xiang Jingheng's heart suddenly trembled.

An ominous premonition of illness emerged.

The call was from the research lab.

As expected, Yu Yan's warning was correct; their research lab had also been hacked!

It wasn't just Xiang Jingheng and Yu Yan's labs; the entire research community in Shangzhou was attacked to varying degrees. The places those people swept through were like locusts entering the country, and overnight, the research community was devastated.

News gradually came in.

Shao Muyan and Yu Yan's phones were ringing off the hook with calls for help from various experimental centers.

I haven't seen such an arrogant spies in years!

Academician Yu was furious.

He had been retired for many years and had long since stopped caring about worldly affairs, but the science and technology city that he had worked so hard to build could not be destroyed by a group of petty scoundrels!

"Give me the phone." As soon as Academician Yu spoke, everyone in the experimental center turned to look at him.

The previously chaotic meeting room fell completely silent.

Academician Yu squeezed his wife's hand and said to the old lady, "I promised you that I would retire and hand over the world to the younger generation, and we would no longer worry about it. But I also know that what you can't let go of the most right now is our Yu Yan."

The two elders looked at Yu Yan, their eyes filled with loving kindness.

Academician Yu sighed deeply and said to Shao Muyan, "Back then, Yan Yan's parents didn't want her to pursue scientific research because they were afraid she would get caught up in this vortex and follow in my footsteps. But alas, there was nothing they could do; she's my granddaughter, and this is what she was born to do."

Yu Yanyi's eyes sparkled.

"grandfather……"

Academician Yu stood up with the help of his cane, and Shao Muyan and Yu Yan rushed forward to help him.

"teacher."

Academician Yu patted Shao Muyan's hand and smiled slightly, "While my old face still has some value, we should make use of it. You silly kid."

He flicked Shao Muyan's forehead lightly. "Give me the phone."

After a few phone calls were made, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Shao Muwen was waiting for instructions at the Security Bureau when he received the call. His expression changed, he stood up straight, answered a few times, and his heart calmed down.

Xiang Jingheng saw the news that Shouhou and others had been arrested. The group of more than 20 people were all captured and brought to justice by the relevant departments.

He saw the skinny monkey's face flash across the screen, went back and watched it several times, and recognized that this person was the villain who kidnapped Yu Yan back then!

It was him again!

When the mastermind behind "Mei's father" came into view as an international fugitive, Xiang Jingheng felt that his appearance was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before... until he remembered what Mei Nan looked like when she was a child!

Xiang Jingheng sat up abruptly from the bed, his face deathly pale.

Could it be that Mei Nan really is...?!
