Chapter 51 Xiang Jingheng is furious

The road to protecting one's rights is never easy.

Yu Yan painstakingly typed out the thesis word by word, but now, in order to report and expose the person who stole her thesis, she must first prove that she wrote it.

The more complete the materials you need to provide, the better.

Yu Yan's manuscripts were carefully preserved, but the electronic documents were scattered in various folders, making a mess.

The more impatient a person is, the more confused they become. That's when Shao Yun appeared and helped a lot.

Thanks to his excellent memory, the part that was "not very important" in Yu Yan's memory palace was the part that was "very important" in Shao Yun's memory palace. He would look at the computer screen and ask Yu Yan what she wanted. As soon as Yu Yan said something, he would start reciting the folders he had "looked at". He could always find them for Yu Yan accurately, which was twice as effective and saved a lot of time.

"Yunyun, you're my savior!"

Yu Yan was so moved she almost cried, and she hugged Shao Yun and kissed him passionately on the forehead.

Shao Yun almost cried for help from his uncle...

As Shao Muyan watched this scene, a smile appeared on his lips, and his expression softened involuntarily. However, when his gaze returned to the computer screen, it suddenly sharpened.

He was also looking for something.

Once a thief is caught, it's almost impossible that they've only stolen once; most are repeat offenders.

Mu Zhiwei and Gan Xiaoxing are university alumni. Perhaps because of this, Mu Zhiwei interned in Xiaoxing's lab while pursuing his doctorate. After graduating with his doctorate, he successfully stayed in Xiaoxing's lab. Although the salary in Xiaoxing's lab is not as good as some large research labs, the annual income is not low. Mu Zhiwei's food, clothing and daily necessities are all good. He just went to a 4S store to pick up a new car.

Interestingly, Shao Muyan specifically had someone check Mu Zhiwei's bank account.

Sure enough, within the next few days, his account received an extra million.

The stated source of income is project bonuses.

However, Mu Zhiwei has been just hanging around in Xiaoxing's research lab for years since graduation, without participating in any major projects.

By peeling back the layers, one can see that some things have far-reaching consequences.

Xiang Jingheng had been trying to call Yu Yan for the past few days but couldn't get through. Either no one answered, or the call was immediately disconnected, leaving him completely baffled.

It felt like she had returned to the time when she had just returned to China.

But during this time, their relationship clearly improved a lot and was not as tense as before.

It was strange that Yu Yan didn't answer his calls.

Could it be that something went wrong with her project?

Xiang Jingheng had planned to go to Shangzhou University to see what was going on when Jin Fan rushed in, looking anxious.

"President Xiang, something terrible has happened!"

Several PhD students in Xiaoxing's lab are under investigation for allegedly stealing others' research results.

The people who reported them were Yu Yan and Shao Muyan.

Xiang Jingheng frowned deeply, just about to find out what had happened, when he received a distress call from Gan Xiaoxing.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Jingheng said to Jin Fan, "Go and find out what's going on, and report back to me as soon as possible."

"yes!"

Jin Fan knew this was a serious matter, so he quickly went to investigate.

Xiaoxing Research Lab is now almost inextricably linked with Xiangshi Technology. With such a huge scandal, Xiangshi Technology will inevitably be affected.

As an investor, Xiang Jingheng couldn't just sit idly by, even though the whole thing annoyed him to no end!

On the way to the research lab, Xiang Jingheng looked at some materials Jin Fan had sent him and understood the cause of the matter. It was Yu Yan who reported that Mu Zhiwei, a doctor in Xiaoxing's research lab, had maliciously stolen her thesis. The materials and evidence provided by Yu Yan were very complete, from the draft and first draft to the time when relevant materials were consulted, everything was explained, and even Professor Fang's correction records were provided.

Now we're just waiting for evidence from Mu Zhiwei's side.

Since he has been reported, he definitely needs to provide relevant proof.

Xiang Jingheng frowned more and more as he looked at the paper. Judging from the publication date, several days had passed, and Mu Zhiwei had gained unprecedented attention because of the publication of this paper.

Gan Xiaoxing's research lab even threw him a celebration party, but Xiang Jingheng didn't attend.

Xiang Jingheng knew Mu Zhiwei well; he was just an academic slacker. What could he possibly produce? He didn't take Mu Zhiwei's published papers seriously at all.

Unfortunately, the paper has been quite popular in the research community these past few days. Xiang Jingheng originally planned to take some time to look at it today, but he was dealt a blow when he was told that Mu Zhiwei had stolen someone else's paper.

It wasn't anyone else, but Yu Yan's.

At this moment, Xiang Jingheng was also gritting his teeth in anger. He would never believe that this was not Gan Xiaoxing's idea!

With a "bang," the door was pushed open with a force that seemed to carry a lot of air, and Xiaoxing's research room was already in complete chaos.

Gan Xiaoxing was on the phone with someone, but when she saw Xiang Jingheng, she immediately hung up, her eyes red and her lips pouting as she tried to throw herself into his arms.

"Jing Heng—"

"Don't come any closer."

Xiang Jingheng's face was cold, and his words left Gan Xiaoxing stunned on the spot.

He glanced around and asked, "Are you the only ones left? Where is everyone else?"

Gan Xiaoxing pursed her lips and remained silent. A female PhD student next to her whispered, "They've all been taken away..."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Jingheng felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

Those who were taken away for investigation were suspected of plagiarism and stealing other people's papers. Nearly half of the doctoral students in Xiaoxing's lab were taken away!

What else does this prove?

"Gan Xiaoxing!" Xiang Jingheng raised his hand angrily, and Gan Xiaoxing closed her eyes tightly in fright.

If she weren't a woman, Xiang Jingheng would have really wanted to slap her twice!

All these years he's invested so much money in Xiaoxing's lab, and he's actually raised a bunch of thieves, and even fattened them up...

Thinking of this, Xiang Jingheng felt like slapping himself in the face.

"Jingheng, now is not the time to assign blame. You need to think of a way to get them out of here first," Gan Xiaoxing said, pulling Jingheng's hand.

Xiang Jingheng shoved her aside, not even bothering to glance at her, and asked with a stern face, "Where's Mei Nan? Was she taken away too?"

"No."

The young scholar said, "Sister Mei accompanied Senior Brother Mu and the others to negotiate."

Xiang Jingheng looked at Gan Xiaoxing with a cold gaze, which made her laugh in anger. "You're really something. You're in charge of Xiaoxing Research Lab, and when something goes wrong, you make others take the blame? What's the point of having you as the boss?"

Gan Xiaoxing bit her lip and lowered her head, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Tell me the truth, how exactly was Yu Yan's thesis stolen by Mu Zhiwei?" Xiang Jingheng's voice was unusually cold.

Gan Xiaoxing pouted, "Why are you asking me? How would I know? I was kept in the dark too! Mu Zhiwei is really shameless; one fly has ruined our whole pot of porridge!"

"Shut up."

Xiang Jingheng couldn't stand it anymore. He was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he raised his hand to point at Gan Xiaoxing.

"Even now, you still think I'm a fool? Gan Xiaoxing, do you know who Yu Yan is now? You dare to steal her things? Do you want to go to jail?"

One sentence was enough to frighten Gan Xiaoxing so much that her face turned pale and she froze.
