Dingxiang was bored in her room, so she could only lie on the bed and think about what happened in her past life.
If she hadn't listened to Ding Haowen and Li Yuzhu back then and hadn't killed Chen Jiayi, would things have turned out differently?
While she was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.
Dingxiang snapped out of her daze and quickly went to open the door.
It's Chen Jiayi.
Dingxiang's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to speak, Chen Jiayi shoved the food into Dingxiang's hand, then turned and left without saying a word.
Watching Chen Jiayi's departing figure, Dingxiang's eyes welled up with tears.
In the end, she bravely held back her tears.
Dingxiang thought that perhaps Chen Jiayi was still angry with her...
It's okay, Chen Jiayi will forgive her as time goes by.
Beijing City.
Ding Haowen didn't know why, but he felt uneasy all day.
He cautiously peeked outside, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, we finally managed to sneak out.
Upon arriving in Beijing, Ding Haowen felt somewhat disgusted by the city's even more dilapidated state compared to Haicheng.
But there's no other way; we're only safe under their watchful eyes these days.
Ding Haowen guessed those people never expected that he would actually dare to come to the capital.
Perhaps because he was new, Ding Haowen didn't feel a sense of belonging. So his eyelids kept twitching all day until he turned around and bumped into the police.
His expression immediately changed, and he turned to run away.
However, the police immediately dispatched officers and arrested him.
The other party coldly rebuked, "Ding Haowen! You are suspected of drug smuggling and trafficking, and evading criminal responsibility. You are hereby arrested!"
Ding Haowen was incredulous; how could he have been caught?
But no matter how much he couldn't believe it, he was still caught.
After Ding Haowen was arrested and taken away, a person appeared in the shadows.
The other person stared with interest in the direction where Ding Haowen had been taken away, then let out a light sneer.
.
Chen Jiayi truly meant what she said; the first thing she did after arriving in Haicheng with Dingxiang was to send her to an orphanage.
Dingxiang really didn't want to go, but she had no choice. If she didn't go to the orphanage, she would have to wander the streets.
This world is not entirely safe. If Dingxiang were to wander the streets, she might be sold to Shankakali again.
Therefore, she chose to go to the welfare home.
After returning home, Chen Jiayi planned to rest for two days, but then she received a call from the neighborhood committee.
The phone call from the research community committee was no small matter. Upon learning what had happened, Chen Jiayi's expression immediately changed.
She never expected that the intern she had personally mentored would dare to do such a thing!
When Shen Jialiang saw that Chen Jiayi's expression was not good, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
He frowned, recalling the resentful look in Dingxiang's eyes when he sent her to the orphanage.
However, he didn't say whether Ding Xiang had done anything, but instead asked Chen Jiayi what had happened.
Chen Jiayi glanced at Shen Jialiang and told him with a hint of grievance in her voice.
"If you hadn't taken my medicine with you that day, I might be a thief that everyone wants to kill now!"
Upon hearing Chen Jiayi's words, Shen Jialiang immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
He frowned, his expression serious.
"What's going on?"
Chen Jiayi told Shen Jialiang what the Science Neighborhood Committee had said, and Shen Jialiang's face suddenly darkened.
Chen Jiayi's intern actually stole her research drugs and sent them to the Science Neighborhood Committee?
If Shen Jialiang hadn't happened to be visiting the Science Neighborhood Committee that day and hadn't taken Chen Jiayi's medicine with him, things would have been different.
Perhaps Chen Jiayi had just returned to Haicheng when she was arrested by the police station.
Once the experimental results have been verified by the neighborhood committee, a patent can be applied for.
Chen Jiayi's medicine was delivered two days in advance, so the recipient naturally knew who Chen Jiayi was.
So when Chen Jiayi's intern took out the medicine, the staff on the scene reportedly looked at her strangely and asked the intern twice if it was hers. She firmly and affirmatively said yes both times.
The staff on site immediately called the police and then contacted Chen Jiayi.
This kind of thing must be thoroughly investigated.
However, Chen Jiayi's husband is Shen Jialiang, and she is the true daughter of the Chen family.
Moreover, Chen Jiayi had delivered the specimen ahead of time, putting the intern in grave danger.
Chen Jiayi went to the Science Neighborhood Committee. At that time, the place for testing research results did not yet have a special "patent testing department" like in later generations.
Everyone sent their materials to the Science Neighborhood Committee, which then divided them into factions and groups to test the results.
When Chen Jiayi arrived at the location, the pale-faced intern looked even paler upon seeing her.
Chen Jiayi was surprised that the intern would do something so stupid. She curled her lips slightly and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
"I never thought you were so stupid that you would do something so foolish."
The intern was taken aback when Chen Jiayi appeared so quickly.
Upon hearing the other person's words, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
However, the intern looked frightened.
"Teacher Chen... I... I know you want this patent, but this patent is something I worked hard on for a long time to develop!"
"You're from a wealthy family, and I'm just a country girl from the countryside. Please, give me back the patent, okay..."
Chen Jiayi sneered. As expected of her! She covered up the meaning of her words with just a few words.
“Li Xiaomei, I know your family is not well-off. I was not originally scheduled to teach students this term, but when I learned about your family’s financial situation, I immediately decided to let you take the job.”
At that time, Li Xiaomei was hardworking, diligent, and simple.
Being Chen Jiayi's intern meant receiving a salary.
Although it wasn't much, it was just enough for the intern's tuition and living expenses.
The school originally paid 10 yuan as an intern, but Chen Jiayi paid 5 yuan out of her own pocket.
This means Li Xiaomei's salary is 15 yuan, which is higher than everyone else's, yet she is still not satisfied.
Li Xiaomei bit her lip, "Teacher Chen...you...you mustn't threaten me! I won't give in!"
She was in tears, looking both frightened and incredibly courageous as she fought against capital.
"Professor Chen! I've worked so hard in the lab for so long, I will not compromise with capital!"
Upon hearing Li Xiaomei's words, Chen Jiayi couldn't help but sneer.
She glanced at Li Xiaomei but didn't say anything.
Seeing that Chen Jiayi remained silent, Li Xiaomei began to panic.
Her fingers involuntarily gripped the hem of her clothes, and she felt extremely flustered.
The police arrived shortly afterward.
Seeing the police officer take out a pen and notebook, Li Xiaomei felt extremely flustered.
But she quickly regained her composure, though her fingertips trembled slightly.
After the police finished taking their statements, they spoke to the two women.
"You need to verify the truth of what you're saying, otherwise you're obstructing the investigation..."
