Chapter 634 Elizabeth, do you deserve it? Biological Father [1st Update]
[Three hundred and twenty academic papers were sold, with the most expensive one fetching three hundred million US dollars.]
Below this main title is a long list of names.
The first one on the list is Elizabeth Laurent.
It clearly states that she bought a paper for a high price of 300 million US dollars and then falsely accused Ying Zijin of plagiarizing her.
There are specialized newspapers and periodicals in academia that publish the progress of some experimental projects.
This is the first time that an entire newspaper has been used to report on the buying and selling of academic papers.
Elizabeth's face turned pale and then flushed.
She suddenly screamed and tore the newspaper to shreds.
"Tearing it up won't change anything," José said calmly, looking at her hysterical state. "This newspaper has been published throughout the academic community and is also on major websites. You've completely disgraced the Laurent family!"
He then pulled out another document and handed it over: "I was at Professor Herwin's lab yesterday, and I happened to bring you your expulsion document."
"Professor Herwin will hold you accountable for your personal reasons. You'd better wait and see."
Elizabeth suddenly looked up, her eyes red: "Tell me! Do you want to tell the master about this and have him punish me?"
Upon hearing this, José stopped.
He turned around and smiled sarcastically: "Elizabeth, don't take yourself too seriously."
Elizabeth stopped abruptly, her voice turning cold: "Jose, what do you mean?"
"Don't tell me you're not the head of the family. Even if you were, your affairs would be insignificant to the master," Jose said coldly. "Even the elders have to beg for a long time to see the master. Do you think you're worthy of my going to report to the master?"
"Would your master really take the time to look after you? I advise you not to bother your master; it's not a good idea to deliberately seek your death."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Elizabeth was still standing there, stunned.
A few minutes later, guessing that she had remembered something, she immediately went upstairs to the study and turned on the computer.
As Sergei said, the official website indeed already has related news.
Those academic experts and professors may not use other social media platforms, but they will definitely look at the information on these academic websites.
Elizabeth Laurent's name is truly nailed to the pillar of shame, and she has become infamous in academia.
Elizabeth's body went limp.
She completely blocked her own path in scientific research.

Meanwhile, in a hotel restaurant in country J.
Sinai doesn't like the food from O continent.
She took out the food compression bag and laid out all ten dishes inside.
The dishes were served hot, and they looked, smelled, and tasted delicious.
Ying Zijin fell into deep thought.
She wasn't interested in other scientific technologies, but she was quite interested in learning this food preservation method.
She was spoiled by Fu Yunshen and had always been a bit picky about food.
Sinai waved her hand and said, "Eat up, don't be shy. I'll take you to the City of the World and treat you to the finest food."
As she spoke, she became even more dejected: "If my sister-in-law hadn't fallen into a coma, I could have let you all try her cooking."
Fu Yunshen raised his eyes: "How did your sister-in-law fall into a coma?"
Sinai pursed her lips: "She suffered a mental blow. My sister-in-law thought she had given birth to a stillborn child. Coincidentally, my brother went missing at that time, so she lost the will to live and is still in a vegetative state."
Ying Zijing's hand paused slightly: "You thought it was a stillborn?"
“Yes, but I’m sure it’s not her. My niece is definitely still alive.” Sinai lowered her head. “But I’ve been searching for ten years and haven’t found her yet. If I had found her, she could definitely wake up my sister-in-law.”
The Lengel family consulted various hypnotists, doctors, alchemists, and so on, but none of them could revive the First Lady.
The second hypnotist they brought in from Earth once said it was a psychological problem.
Mental illness requires mental medicine.
The First Madam did not want to wake up, and no amount of external force could make her wake up.
Ying Zijing pondered for a while and then said, "In that case, I can take a look at your sister-in-law."
Faced with the choice between finding someone and rescuing them, she chose the latter.
After all, without any information, searching for someone like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Sinai didn't have much hope, but still nodded: "Okay."
"Ten years?" Fu Yunshen lifted his eyelids. "How old are you really?"
Sinai, hands in her pockets, raised her chin: "I'm twenty-six, older than you guys, right?"
“That’s not necessarily true,” Fu Yunshen said lazily.
Ying Zijing narrowed her eyes slightly: "So you took alchemical drugs?"
Sinai lowered her head and remained silent for a moment: "Yes, it's because I can't recover my normal age and body to this day. This alchemical drug has fixed my age and physique."
Ying Zijin's eyes flickered slightly.
She now knows where Earth's alchemy came from.
It is obvious that it came from the City of the World.
Because the alchemical drug that Sinai mentioned does not currently exist in the alchemical world.
Aside from the effects of body shrinkage and rejuvenation, wouldn't this drug allow people to achieve immortality?
Moreover, the bombing in the university town at that time used an alchemical bomb that they had never seen before.
Ying Zijing pondered for a moment: "Do the residents of the World City come to Earth frequently?"
“No, 99% of people won’t come.” Sinai shrugged. “The science you’re developing now is something we’ve already gone through.”
"Compared to the world's cities, you are far behind. It's like asking if you would go back to a primitive society."
“But you’ve reminded me that some people choose to give up life in the world city and go to Earth,” she added. “I’ve heard of someone like that.”
Ying Zijin looked up: "Who?"
“I don’t know if you know this person.” Sinai stroked her chin. “Because this happened centuries ago, I haven’t specifically looked into his background.”
She paused for a moment before speaking: "This person's name is Simon Grand."
Ying Zijing's expression changed slightly: "Who are you talking about?"
“Simon Grand,” Sinai repeated, “He was a very famous scientist in the City of the World, but he later asked to go outside, to Earth. The Sage’s Institute had no choice but to let him go.”
"The Sage's Academy has erased all his memories related to the City of the World and forbade him from ever setting foot in the City of the World again."
Ying Zijin said softly, "No wonder."
No wonder Simon Brand was able to draw up a series of technologically advanced blueprints, such as spaceships, in the seventeenth century.
Because he is a resident of the city of the world.
In the 17th century, more than a hundred years before the start of the Industrial Revolution, the steam engine did not yet exist.
But the world's city already possesses the technology to land on the moon.
Far ahead of its time.
“The City of the World is actually on Earth, just like the Ancient Martial Arts World.” Sinai rested his chin on his hand. “But we’re used to calling you Earth. I’m not some alien; they’re too ugly.”
Ying Zijin nodded slightly: "I understand."
“Oh, I was so happy yesterday that I forgot. I have a photo of the head of the Yu family.” Sinai turned her watch. “Let me show you, so you won’t mistake me for someone else.”
After pressing the button on the watch, a 3D human figure is projected.
Sinai tapped in the air again, and the statue began to spin.
This ensures that Ying Zijing and Fu Yunshen can see the portrait from all angles.
The man was dressed as a knight and held a sword.
His eyes were sharp and his demeanor was spirited.
The aura he exuded was clearly something one could only acquire from someone who had long held a high position.
There are also words suspended in mid-air below.
【Shaoyun Jade】
"Hey." Sina glanced at Fu Yunshen, "I suddenly realized you and he look a bit alike!"
Fu Yunshen remained silent.
As he looked at the name "Shaoyun," his light amber eyes gradually deepened.
I see.
Fu Liuying named him this not only because it means "sunlight in the abyss".
It is also her longing for her beloved.
Now it's completely certain.
The patriarch of the Yu family is his biological father.
"Alright," Fu Yunshen said calmly, "I've confirmed it, it's him."
“Then you’ll have to work hard. Getting revenge on him won’t be easy.” Sinai withdrew the human projection and thought for a moment. “Speaking of which, he also has a scandalous affair.”
"More than twenty years ago, I heard that his woman betrayed him, which led to him being besieged. He was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but it was the people from the Sage's Academy who personally intervened and saved him."
"I don't know where that woman went after that. I only heard it from the elders in my family. I guess she probably died."
This incident is nothing short of a scandal for the Yu family.
The Lengel family had only heard rumors; they did not know the specific truth of the matter.
Not to mention the other residents of the City of the World.
Ying Zijing's eyes narrowed: "Is it your aunt?"
The timelines match up.
Fu Yun's brows twitched slightly: "In their view, yes."
He knew very well who Fu Liuying was.
She couldn't possibly betray anyone.
“There might be more to the story,” Ying Zijin frowned. “We need to find out the truth first.”
Fu Yunshen just smiled and didn't say anything.
“Oh, right.” Sinai slapped her forehead. “Although you guys definitely don’t have the ability to take revenge on him, the people in the Sage’s Courtyard can.”
“They all have special abilities. Our two families are just ordinary people in front of them. They can wipe out the entire Yu family with a wave of their hand.”
But are the people in the Sage's Abode so easy to get to know?
Moreover, how could the Sage's Institute possibly depose the head of the Jade Clan for the sake of residents from Earth?
Sinai was just saying it casually; he didn't have any expectations.
**
The City of the World.
The highest point of human civilization.
The Jade Family.
Although the man was nearly fifty, he still looked very young.
His imposing presence and serene, godlike aura were captivating.
"Master," the butler said respectfully, "the old lady requests your presence."
Shaoyun followed the butler.
On the open-air balcony, Old Madam Yu twirled her prayer beads and spoke softly, "I heard you went to Earth a few months ago, specifically to China? Are you going again?"
Shao Yun paused, then said, "Yes."
"Just as I thought." Old Madam Yu closed her eyes, her voice cold. "More than twenty years have passed. I thought you had willingly accepted the family's arranged marriage, given birth to offspring, and forgotten the past. But it turns out you still remember everything clearly."
Shao Yun's fingers tightened, veins bulging, and he said, slowly and deliberately, "She gave birth to my child."
If he had known that Fu Liuying was pregnant at the time, no matter what happened, he would never have let her leave.
Madam Yu clenched her hands tightly around the prayer beads and sneered, "One child, and you soften your heart? So many women are lining up to have your children, and you only care about this one?"
"Besides, don't forget, you already have a legitimate son. Where do you put him?"
Shao Yun's lips were tightly pressed together, and her jaw was also tense.
Madam Yu said coldly, "She betrayed you and almost cost you your life. It's already merciful of me not to kill her and to drive her out of the City of the World."
If she had known that Fu Liuying was from China and not a native of World City, she would never have allowed Shaoyun to have contact with her.
Shao Yun remained noncommittal, but did not change his mind: "I must bring my son back."
Madam Yu was furious.
Shao Yun stood up: "I'm leaving now."
“Alright, I agree.” Madam Yu’s eyes were sharp as she spoke calmly, “You can bring him to the City of the World, or you can bring him into the Yu family, but I have a few requirements.”
Shao Yun was somewhat surprised.
Madam Yu has always been stubborn and extremely dislikes outsiders.
In the eyes of the native inhabitants of the City of the World, even the international talents personally recruited by the Academy of Sages are far inferior to them.
Outsiders are considered inferior, of questionable blood.
Shao Yun's expression softened a bit: "Please speak."
“He cannot be included in the family genealogy, nor can he have the surname Yu.” Old Madam Yu said with her eyes closed, “You can announce his existence to the public, but you must say that he is an illegitimate child.”
"His status can never surpass that of your eldest son; he can only be a third-class citizen in the City of the World."
