I will take responsibility for Yu Yan's safety after Chapter 79.
Gan Tai's face flushed red and then turned pale. She wanted to retort, but she couldn't say a word.
"The Yu family has established itself in the scientific research circle not because of its reputation, but because of its solid scientific research achievements. If you think you can use the online buzz to make a big fuss, you are underestimating today's netizens."
Yu Yan scoffed, "Gan Xiaoxing is using the internet to promote herself, but her image is untenable and she will inevitably suffer a backlash. You can imagine what Gan Xiaoxing will face once these papers are reported and exposed as plagiarism. She will be like those master's and doctoral students in her research lab who were labeled as plagiarists, their reputations will be ruined and they will never be able to recover."
Gan Tai was so shocked that his pupils contracted.
Yu Yan turned to look at Mrs. Xiang.
"As for Xiang Jingheng, being associated with Gan Xiaoxing is a stain he can never wash away in his lifetime, and Xiang's Technology's stock will probably fall again."
Mrs. Xiang's expression also changed. She could watch the drama unfold if the Gan family got into trouble, but she couldn't bear it if the Xiang family got into trouble.
“Go back and think about it carefully. If you continue to spoil this daughter, she will really be beyond saving.”
Yu Yan stood up with the brown paper bag in her hand and said to the bewildered Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Xiang, "I always reserve the right of citizens to report wrongdoings. If Gan Xiaoxing provokes me again, I will definitely not show any mercy."
After saying all this, Yu Yan left with her bodyguards without even eating.
No wonder she couldn't eat when faced with those two faces.
Gan Tai and Xiang Tai remained seated, pondering Yu Yan's words, each with their own thoughts and calculations.
—
As she descended the escalator, Yu Yan did not leave immediately, but instead found a clothing brand store she had visited before.
I saw that black shirt I had my eye on last time.
The bodyguard was about the same size as Shao Muyan, and Yu Yan asked him to help her try it on. It fit perfectly. "Okay, help me put it on."
Unbeknownst to Yu Yan, Shao Muyan was also in the mall at that moment.
He was having tea and snacks with Director Liu from the National Security Bureau and Director An from the Investigation Bureau in a tea room on the basement floor.
"This Gan Xiaoxing is very difficult to deal with; he says one thing to your face and another behind your back."
Director An ate some sunflower seeds and shook his head helplessly: "He made sure everything was fine inside, but as soon as he was released, he started causing trouble again. He never stops for a moment. Old Yu gave me a good scolding, saying that I wasn't doing my job."
Shao Muyan picked up the teapot to pour tea, but Director Liu quickly took it from him, saying, "Third Master, let me do it."
"Teachers get flustered because they care too much."
Shao Muyan remained calm, but his expression was both gentle and stern. His voice was slow and clear. “Yu Yan was invited back to China. She brought the WD Research Lab back to China to establish a project and took on a difficult task without ever complaining. Since you have pushed her to the forefront, made her public, and exposed her to the light of day, you must ensure her safety and help her remove obstacles so that she can focus on her research.”
His face darkened slightly. "But ever since she returned to China, crises have never stopped. Her life, her health, her reputation—all have been damaged. This is indeed your dereliction of duty."
Both Director Liu and Director An were somewhat embarrassed, but they couldn't say anything and could only nod in agreement.
Although Shao Muyan is young, he has a strong presence and is the successor personally mentored by Grandpa Yu. He shoulders the mission of scientific research, and such talents are the pillars of the nation.
Moreover, Shao Muyan has multiple identities. Not to mention the Yu family, just the Shao family and his maternal grandfather's Wen family, if they really want to use their power, what is the Gan family?
"I spoke with my older brother."
Shao Muyan's simple words made both Director Liu and Director An raise their eyes simultaneously, their expressions turning serious.
Shao Muyan picked up the celadon teacup with his slender fingers and took a sip of tea.
“If you can’t handle this, then let him handle it. From now on, the Shao family will be responsible for Yu Yan’s safety.”
...
Director Liu and Director An dared not accept such a casual remark and hurriedly returned to their respective bureaus to handle matters as they needed to, and to make necessary arrangements.
After leaving the tea room, Shao Muyan took out his silent phone and saw the message Yu Yan had sent him.
With a slight frown, he immediately dialed the number.
"Uncle Yan."
Hearing the sound of stir-frying coming from the phone, Shao Muyan finally relaxed a little. "Are you home?"
"Yes, I'm cooking."
Yu Yan asked, "Are you working overtime tonight? If you are, I'll save you a copy."
"No overtime." Shao Muyan smiled slightly. "I'll be back in a bit."
"Then we'll eat together. There's still a fish left."
"good."
Shao Muyan responded gently, quickening his pace as he thought of going home.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Shao Muyan paused, his gaze suddenly turning to a clothing store, remembering the black shirt that Yu Yan had taken a liking to.
When I got to the store, I couldn't find it, so I asked the staff.
"I'm sorry, sir, we only have one piece of each style and size available. The one you mentioned was just sold. Would you like to look at some other ones?"
Shao Muyan felt a little regretful, but didn't dwell on it too much. He shook his head and left.
When I got home, dinner was already prepared, and a delicious aroma wafted towards me.
Yu Yan came out of the kitchen. She was dressed casually at home, wearing a loose bear t-shirt and light-colored denim shorts. Her two fair and long legs were thin and straight, and her hair was casually tied into a bun on top of her head.
Lively and playful.
"You're back, Uncle Yan," Yu Yan greeted him.
Shao Muyan changed his shoes and hummed in agreement.
"The fish is ready," Yu Yan said. "You can wash your hands and eat now."
The two roommates have never argued about housework. They are both diligent and clean people. The housekeeper cleans every day, and the two of them readily help with the small chores.
We're all people who love to cook, so we cook together after get off work. If someone has to work overtime or not, they'll save a portion of the meal for them.
If both of them are working overtime, they can either eat in the lab or order takeout after going home.
We've gotten along incredibly well so far.
Yu Yan sometimes worries that Uncle Yan is too accommodating to her, otherwise she wouldn't feel so comfortable.
Shao Muyan dispelled her concerns with just two words.
He said, "I feel the same way."
Perhaps people who are on the same wavelength will have an unspoken understanding and feel more comfortable together.
During the meal, Yu Yan talked about the two dinner parties that day. Seeing that she was eating her rice with great relish, Shao Muyan knew that she hadn't been able to enjoy the food at the previous two dinner parties.
Mei Nan is one thing, but it's normal for her not to be able to eat when facing Gan Tai and Xiang Tai.
Shao Muyan ladled a bowl of fish soup for Yu Yan. Yu Yan had been busy with experiments lately and had lost a lot of weight, her chin was even more pointed, so he had to give her some nourishment.
"From now on, no matter whose face you have to give, don't see these people anymore, it will affect your mood."
Yu Yan nodded. "Okay, we won't see each other again."
She took a sip of soup. "Grandpa called me and said that the innocent will clear themselves and that I don't need to care about these things. There are petty people everywhere. Grandpa has encountered many in the past, but he has overcome many difficulties."
Shao Muyan didn't have Yu Yan's good temper. He said calmly and in a low voice, "I've warned everyone who needed to be warned. If Gan Xiaoxing doesn't restrain herself, she'll be pushing herself to her death."
“I have the evidence of her academic fraud, and it’s up to me whether I release it or not.”
Yu Yan: "Right now, I don't have that much energy to deal with her affairs. The most important thing is the cooperation with Huaxiang Technology. I can't let other things affect it. Tomorrow will start a new round of busyness."
Shao Muyan looked up at her and asked, "Are you tired?"
"It's tiring, but very fulfilling."
Yu Yan's dark eyes were very bright. "This is my value, my duty. I am happy to do it."
Shao Muyan really wanted to pat her head.
Yu Yan cooked the meal, so Shao Muyan cleaned up the dishes and put them in the dishwasher.
"Uncle Yan."
"Um?"
Shao Muyan turned around and saw Yu Yan place a package on the table. "Here, try it on in a bit and see if it fits."
Shao Muyan was taken aback.
He looked at the logo on the packaging bag and immediately guessed what was going on. He walked over and, sure enough, it was that black shirt.
...It turns out that Yu Yan bought it before him.
A surge of warmth welled up in my heart.
For a moment, his throat felt hot, and Shao Muyan clutched his shirt, unable to speak for a long time.
Go back to your room and change.
Yu Yan was making the bed when there was a knock on the door. She turned around and saw Shao Muyan standing in the doorway, wearing a black shirt, showing it to her.
A slight blush rose to his handsome face. "How was it?"
Yu Yan stared at him, her eyes flashing with amazement. She knew it would suit her, but she didn't expect it to suit her this well; it was as if it were tailor-made for her.
The bodyguards had already tried it on, but it was only when Shao Muyan wore this black shirt that it seemed to have found its true owner.
Yu Yan had never seen anyone wear a black shirt and achieve such an effect.
A meticulous blend of asceticism and sensuality.
"Uncle Yan," Yu Yan replied, seemingly unrelated to the question, "I want to buy that store."
Shao Muyan: "Hmm?"
You can wear all the clothes inside!
