1985 The Dean of the First Research Institute Is in Sister Nian’s Small Group 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 Soon, he opened a chat box. It was a group chat. In the group chat, his nickname was—Indigo Collar! He didn’t chat with anyone. Instead, he clicked on a gray profile picture. It was Qiao Nian’s profile picture in the group. The girl’s profile picture was gray. It was obvious that she wasn’t online. However, Feng Yu still looked at the profile picture for a long time. It was unknown what he was thinking of, but he tapped his fingers on the mouse and smiled. “These days are really getting more and more interesting…” He left a message before turning off the computer. As Qiao Nian was not online, Feng Yu did not wait for her reply. He left a message and logged out of the software. He opened the research institute’s intranet and looked at the statement that Shi Fu had mentioned to him about Ji Ziyin’s apology. * * * At this moment, in the Ji family. Ji Hongyuan had returned from the research institute with an extremely bad expression. He Lin did not even dare to speak to him. When he returned to the Ji family’s old residence, Ji Hongyuan went straight to look for Ji Lingfeng. It was unknown what the two of them had discussed, but when he came out of Ji Lingfeng’s office, his originally ugly expression was worse, and his eyes were filled with sharpness. When he returned to the Punishment Hall, he got someone to investigate Qiao Nian’s background over the years and the reason why she came to the Independent Continent this time. Ji Hongyuan’s connections and skills were definitely not something Ji Xiao and Ji Ziyin could compare to. He quickly obtained a document. Qiao Nian’s background was very simple. It was just what was being spread outside. Ji Hongyuan mainly found out why Qiao Nian had come to the Independent Continent this time, how she came, and why she was here… He sat on the mahogany sofa and flipped through the papers. When he got to the last page, his expression was solemn and dark. “The Miracle Doctor of Rao City? “Nan Tianyi found her to treat Xie Tingyun?” Ji Hongyuan was a little surprised. Amidst his surprise, he laughed fakely. Immediately, his face quickly turned cold as he said, “She’s just a freshman and has only studied medicine for a few days… Nan Tianyi really dares to believe Ji Nan. He got a brat who hasn’t even grown up to treat his wife. It seems like Xie Tingyun is really dying!” The Nan family still had some influence now, and largely relied on this only living number one weaponsmith—Xie Tingyun. Once Xie Tingyun died, the Nan family’s spirit would be gone. Nan Tianyi was famous for loving his wife as much as his life. Once Xie Tingyun passed away, most of Nan Tianyi would be crippled. It was hard to say if he could survive. Ji Hongyuan really couldn’t understand why Qiao Nian, as a member of the Ji family, would side with outsiders. However, ever since he found out that Qiao Nian was here to investigate Ji Qing’s death, he no longer had any hope for this direct descendant. His current thoughts were very simple. He wanted to suppress the other party’s arrogance. He would never allow anyone to damage the family’s interests! Not even a direct descendant! “There’s an auction of the meat Ganoderma in a few days, right?” Ji Hongyuan mentioned this calmly. It was obvious that he already had a plan. He Lin lowered his head. “I’m not sure. I think so. I just don’t know if we’ll bid for it.” “Hehe.” Ji Hongyuan smiled and picked up the cup of tea at the side disapprovingly. He took a sip and said calmly, “The meat Ganoderma is a precious Chinese medicinal herb. Xie Tingyun’s illness is so serious, Nan Tianyi must want this herb. Since Qiao Nian is here for Xie Tingyun, she will also want to buy this medicinal herb…”
