Ouyang Jian frowned upon hearing this. "This subordinate is unaware. Has Your Excellency allowed him to be involved in these matters?"
Ackerman rested his hand on the armrest of the chair, shook his head, and said, "No."
Then he looked at Ouyang Jian and asked, "You've been by his side for so many years, don't you have any useful information?"
Ackerman looked at Ouyang Jian with considerable dissatisfaction.
Ouyang Jian, Ouyang Rao's father, was Jiang Xuanjin's right-hand man. After Ouyang Rao returned from Lancheng a year later, full of grievances, she cried to him about how Jiang Xuanjin had treated her.
Ouyang Jian loved his daughter dearly, and it was from that time that he switched sides and came to Ackerman's side, serving him wholeheartedly.
Ouyang Jian frowned and said, "My lord, I am not aware of these matters. Although I am his capable assistant, he has not told me everything."
What Ouyang Jian didn't say is that he is still your son, and you still don't know that.
Ackerman frowned, lost in thought for a moment without speaking.
Not many people knew about his research on diseases, poisons, and weapons. Not to mention Jiang Xuanjin, even his closest confidants didn't know.
Although Jiang Xuanjin was called his "son", he did not trust him completely, especially after Jiang Xuanjin disobeyed the marriage he had arranged for him. He knew then that Jiang Xuanjin would no longer be an obedient pawn.
Although this incident wasn't the cause, it was certainly the trigger.
So, which step in the process went wrong?
Ackerman was completely baffled. At this point, he was certainly being monitored by various forces, and he couldn't very well go to the head of the biochemical research institute.
However, he needs to understand exactly where the problem lies, otherwise, if this matter is not handled properly, it could very well affect his succession.
Suddenly remembering something, Ackerman slowly looked up at Ouyang Jian.
...
An hour later.
After leaving Ackerman's villa, Ouyang Jian did not go home, but went to the place Ackerman had told him about.
At that time.
A room in a villa in a seaside villa complex.
Liu Nian stood beside Jiang Xuanjin and reported, "Master, as you can see, my godfather did not go in person, but arranged for someone else to go instead."
Jiang Xuanjin asked calmly, "Who?"
The passing years, "Ouyang Jian".
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuanjin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it that you can't hold back any longer? Or do you have no one you can trust?"
Liu Nian continued, "Your godfather might still think that you, master, are unaware that Ouyang Jian has betrayed you. If your godfather were to send his confidants to meet with people from the Biochemical Research Institute at this time, and they were caught on camera, wouldn't that be an admission of guilt?"
Outsiders, assuming Ouyang Jian is their master's man, will naturally pay little attention or speculate, making it the safest approach.
Exposing this matter is the first step in their plan.
It is said that when you strike a snake, you must strike its vital spot to kill it instantly, otherwise there will be endless trouble.
And Ackerman was that venomous snake.
"Oh, so it seems I've become his scapegoat?" Jiang Xuanjin said with a hint of sarcasm.
Liu Nian didn't respond, because that was indeed the case.
He had nothing else to say in rebuttal.
Jiang Xuanjin didn't care whether Liu Nian answered or not, and then said, "Go tell those people that Ouyang Jian betrayed me after I rejected Ouyang Rao's marriage proposal. As for whose side I am now, there's no need to say it outright, those people aren't stupid."
The reason I didn't expose them before was because I was thinking I could use them someday.
...
Soon, everyone monitoring Ackerman received this message.
While not everyone will immediately understand, some people will certainly realize it right away.
Considering that he had just left Ouyang Jian and then suddenly received this message by such coincidence, it must be no accident.
Suddenly, someone realized and said, "Since Ouyang Jian is no longer Jiang Xuanjin's man, and he came to meet with the person inside, then he must be that person's man!"
"Hurry up, you guys stay here, I'll go after them. Luckily I was careful and let someone follow us."
After saying that, he picked up his professional equipment, got into the car, and sped away.
The others were a beat slower, but then they realized what was happening, and the remaining half of the group quickly led the others to catch up.
For more than a year, there have been repeated reports of discord between Ackerman and his son Jiang Xuanjin, so people have some vague suspicions.
However, the news that Jiang Xuanjin released today has completely confirmed this.
...
In a villa by the sea.
Liu Nian reported, "Master, those people have already given chase."
Jiang Xuanjin: "Okay. Let the people inside take action, and send the evidence to them later."
The passing years, "Yes."
Once evidence of Ouyang Jian's meeting with the people from the "Biological" Research Institute is collected, Ackerman will have no choice but to step down, even if he doesn't want to.
...
at the same time.
Ouyang Jian had arrived at the address given by Ackerman—the entrance to the suburban villa.
Ouyang Jian got out of the car, looked around, and only when he saw no one was there did he ring the doorbell of the villa.
Shortly after, the doorbell rang, and he was led inside.
What Ouyang Jian didn't know was that after he entered the villa, a Buick was parked not far away.
The person inside the car was making a phone call.
"I saw it. Ouyang Jian is at the villa in the suburbs. He's gone inside."
"Okay, okay, I'll give you the address right away."
Inside the villa.
Ouyang Jian followed the butler into the hall, where Evan, the director of the Biochemical Research Institute, had been sitting and waiting for a long time.
Evan, a notorious biomedical madman from the United States, has produced nothing that benefits human society.
Many years ago, he was expelled from the scientific community because he proposed biological research that was against humanity, but he didn't care at all and continued to conduct research secretly with his students.
However, there has been almost no news of him in the past twenty years. Even Ouyang Jian was afraid that he might become his next experimental subject when he saw him.
Perhaps it was because the wariness in Ouyang Jian's eyes was too obvious that Evan, who often saw that look in his eyes, could immediately see his worry.
He then chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. You're not qualified to be my research subject."
Although Evan was smiling, Ouyang Jian still dared not let his guard down.
Evan didn't dwell on it, and waited for Ouyang Jian to get closer before asking, "Did Lord Ackerman send you?"
Although he had already received Ackerman's message, he still asked about it.
The reason for not contacting him by phone was that Ackerman felt that phone communication was not safe, and if someone recorded him, it would be difficult to deny the situation.
Ouyang Jian nodded and said, "Yes."
Evan had no doubt about Ouyang Jian, so he asked, "What are your instructions, sir?"
