Chapter 123 Unexplained Enemy
It was a torrential downpour that day, with thunder threatening to blow the roof off. She remembered that she had just changed out of her soaking wet clothes when she received an urgent call from Professor Chen, saying that a key set of experimental data had been seriously misjudged and that she should return to the lab immediately to check it.
She didn't have a car, and there was no way she could get a taxi in that kind of weather.
Professor Chen said he happened to be doing some work nearby and could pick her up on his way.
The photo freezes the moment when Professor Chen was standing at her door holding an umbrella and she leaned half of her body out to talk to him.
But the caption next to the photo was even more vicious than the heavy rain outside.
"Professor Chen is still sharp as a knife. He visited the genius girl's boudoir late at night. The two of them stayed together for three days and three nights before leaving!"
"fart!"
Chen Gang could no longer hold it in. His elegant scholarly face turned purple, and he suddenly slammed the table and stood up. His hand, which was pointing at the screen, was shaking like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
"Wang Qin! Who on earth did this? Check! Check for me! We must find the ID that posted this!"
He was so angry that he was spinning around on the spot, his chest heaving violently.
"When did our institute's internal forum become such a den of filth and corruption? It's a disgrace to the academic community! A disgrace!"
Ji Bingqian didn't say anything. He just turned his head and glanced at Xu Yueqing the moment she laughed.
She didn't make a fuss, nor was she as angry as Chen Gang.
She just smiled, and that smile made people feel more nervous than crying.
His hand holding the phone tightened silently.
"Professor Chen, Professor Chen, please calm down and drink some water."
Wang Qin quickly stood up, handed the cup of tea, which had already cooled down, back to Chen Gang, and tried to comfort him with kind words.
"I just found out about this, too. Don't worry, I've already asked the network security team to check it out. Any post on an internal forum like this will leave a trace, and we'll have news soon."
After calming the excited old professor, Wang Qin sat down again and turned his gaze to Xu Yueqing, who was at the center of the storm.
His expression became extremely serious.
"Ms. Xu," he said carefully, "as far as I know, today is your first day at the institute, right?"
Xu Yueqing nodded, and his eyes moved away from the screen and fell on Wang Qin's face.
She knew that this was the crux of the matter.
Yes, that's the key.
How could she, a new engineer who had just completed the entry procedures, cause such a big stir in the internal forum of the institute in such a short time?
Wang Qin's lenses reflected the light from the screen. His eyes, which had seen through so many people and things, were now fixed firmly on Xu Yueqing.
"Ms. Xu, we have extensive experience handling this kind of thing." His voice was emotionless. "Generally speaking, this kind of malicious slander, naming names, is most likely the work of an enemy. Did you offend anyone during your time at the institute?"
Enemy?
Xu Yueqing almost wanted to laugh again.
She had offended so many people, including the Xu family and Jiang Chejin, who had cost her her youth and heart.
But what do they have to do with the institute?
She shook her head, her voice soft.
"Director Wang, I've left the institute and school for several years."
"I don't know any of the engineers at the institute right now. I can't even call their names, let alone make any enemies."
This makes sense.
Wang Qin nodded in agreement. How could someone who hadn't been here for years have such a deep hatred for the current researcher?
