Who is the little devil behind Chapter 50?

Those of us who do scientific research are most afraid of having our data and research results maliciously stolen.

Every piece of data and every achievement is the result of countless days and nights of hard work by researchers, the fruit of years, decades, or even half a lifetime of painstaking effort.

If someone were to steal or plagiarize it, it would be truly devastating. At this moment, Yu Yan was so angry that her fingers turned cold and her whole body was trembling.

Yu Yan and Shao Muyan's phones vibrated incessantly.

Shao Muyan's eyes were just as bloodshot as Yu Yan's; both of them were furious at the moment, but they could only try to remain calm.

The deed is done, and anger or complaints won't help; we have to find a solution.

"It's the teacher on the phone." Shao Muyan wasn't surprised to see the caller ID on the screen. Although Academician Yu had retired, he was always very observant and had nothing to hide from him.

Moreover, this is such a serious matter as the theft of Yu Yan's thesis.

Not many people have read Yu Yan's paper, but those who have read it are deeply impressed by it, and its publication is bound to cause a sensation.

Sure enough, it caused a sensation, but it was published by an unknown PhD.

When Academician Yu and Professor Fang saw this, they were all furious.

Academician Yu: "Isn't this a paper written by Yu Yan?"

Professor Fang: "Isn't this the work of my precious student?"

These are all top-tier professors who have spent half their lives in the scientific research field. How could they not know about the tricks involved? Professor Fang almost fainted from anger the moment he saw the paper. He had revised several parts of it. How could he not be angry!

This is equivalent to the "thief" not only stealing Yu Yan's fruits, but also stealing the fruits of his labor!

Professor Fang knew her student's character perfectly well. Not to mention plagiarism, she wouldn't even agree to have Yu Yan's name listed as an author on his paper.

“I can write it myself.” Yu Yan was as stubborn as a mule. “I will only put my own name on the paper.”

How could my writing be so easily stolen!

It was even published ahead of time!

That's why Professor Fang was angry.

Yu Yan and Shao Muyan both knew this.

Academician Yu was also quite angry on the other end of the phone. His grandmother kept trying to persuade him, and Yu Yan's eyes were even filled with tears.

"Grandpa, don't be angry or anxious. Just believe me, I would never do something like plagiarism! Give me time, and I will definitely give you and my teacher an explanation..."

"What explanation? Who are you going to explain to?"

Academician Yu was furious, his voice ringing out, "You have to give yourself an explanation for the results of your own labor!"

Yu Yan was scolded until she burst into tears. Shao Muyan handed her a tissue, and Yu Yan shook her head and wiped her face.

She was too ashamed to cry.

Yes, I know.

Yu Yan listened attentively to the reprimand, saying, "I will find a way to resolve this matter. Please take care of yourself and don't get anxious or upset about it."

Academician Yu was genuinely anxious. He had a fiery temper when he was young, and the old man had lived most of his life. He had seen all kinds of storms and had experienced all sorts of disgusting and filthy things.

If this had happened to his students or apprentices, Academician Yu would have been so angry that he would have kicked them. But with his own granddaughter, he couldn't kick her; he could only curse her.

"Shao Muyan." The old man began to select his men.

Shao Muyan quickly replied, "Yes."

"You and she should work together to resolve this matter as soon as possible, don't drag it out."

Academician Yu said in a deep voice, "You must find the bastard behind this and make him pay the price! I want to see who dares to mess with me."

"yes."

Shao Muyan readily agreed.

The two exchanged a glance, and without saying another word, quickly began working together.

Shao Muyan asked Yu Yan, "Are there records of the first, second, and third drafts of the paper?"

"have."

Yu Yan nodded. Both of them were doctoral supervisors who had been teaching students. They had been reminding her of these basic things since the first day of teaching her students. How could she not be vigilant?

She quickly opened her laptop bag, and the "little monkey" on the laptop flashed before Shao Muyan's eyes.

He didn't know what it was, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it right now.

Yu Yan meticulously organized all the drafts and final draft dates, keeping them very carefully. She was not afraid of pursuing legal action later, as she had all the evidence to provide.

The only question now is who this person who stole her thesis is.

And how did they manage to steal her thesis without anyone noticing, and not just steal the core content, but completely copy and paste it?

Even a thief from within the family couldn't have stolen this much!

That's terrifying.

Shao Muyan also turned on his computer and searched for "Mu Zhiwei" who had published the paper, checking his academic achievements, education, positions, and so on.

He is indeed an unknown PhD, having graduated only a few years ago.

"Yu Yan." Shao Muyan found out his employer and showed it to Yu Yan. Yu Yan's eyes narrowed as soon as she saw it.

——Xiaoxing Research Lab

When the investigation reached Gan Xiaoxing, she wasn't so angry anymore.

Facing this "enemy" who has been competing with her for several years, Yu Yan now has only one question in her mind: How did she do it?

But we can't worry about that right now.

Yu Yan needs to protect her thesis results first.

She first went to the lab to explain the work, making sure that her personal matters didn't delay the lab's research progress.

The team members weren't entirely aware of the paper, since Yu Yan hadn't publicized it worldwide. However, Cheng Yun called Yu Yan and said she had seen a newly published paper in a journal that was very similar to her research direction, and advised her to be careful to avoid plagiarism later. Only then did Yu Yan tell her about it.

"They didn't plagiarize me; they just took my paper and published it."

"sky."

Cheng Yun gasped on the other end of the phone, "Which bastard is so heartless? Does he have a death wish?"

"He doesn't care about his life, but I have to take his."

Yu Yan got into Shao Muyan's car, and the two headed home.

Just as Yu Yan was about to speak in Shao Muyan's direction, Shao Muyan said, "Don't say anything about bothering me again."

He said, "If this isn't handled properly, we'll both be in trouble. This isn't just your problem, it's mine too."

Yu Yan's heart was warmed again and again.

She was someone who hated trouble, and she knew how troublesome this matter would be, but because Uncle Yan was there, she wasn't really afraid.

It seems that no matter what difficulties she encounters, there are always people who face and solve them together with her.

It made her feel that she had not fallen into a helpless situation.

I went back to my grandparents' house and organized the manuscripts.

Shao Muyan watched as Yu Yan took out the manuscript papers from a locked drawer. Each manuscript had a date on it and was neatly categorized.

This shows how meticulous Yu Yan is when it comes to academic papers and research results.

So here's the question: how did someone manage to steal Yu Yan's paper so silently, a paper that even his roommate, who lived under the same roof, couldn't possibly have done?
