The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress-Chapter 849 - 330 incident occurred, Qinglong Bar!_2

"Study the materials I’ve given you carefully," said Academician Ma, who was always sparing with words. He looked at Bai Lian, the color of gratification clear at the bottom of his deep brown eyes, "Project 925 is now depending on you guys."

Bai Lian looked at Academician Ma’s facial expression but ultimately did not ask him to stay.

Academician Ma had said that his last heartbeat would be dedicated to science.

President Huang waited beside them for a long time. After Academician Ma had finished speaking with Bai Lian and gone to look for You Xinzheng, not once had he spoken to him.

"Teacher, don’t you have anything to instruct me?" he couldn’t help but ask.

Academician Ma glanced at President Huang, "Recruit more talented students to the Physics Institute."

President Huang: "...Oh."

Jiang Fulai just stood beside Bai Lian with his eyes cast downward.

The street lamp in front of the research institute stretched their shadows very long.

It was late at night, and he stood relaxed in a dark sweater, yet his back was very straight.

Not until Academician Ma had finished speaking did he turn his head to look at Bai Lian and slowly said, "If you need anything, reach out to Xu Nanjing or the Chen Family."

He lifted his chin gesturing to the Chen Family people opposite them.

Across the way, Chen Beixuan, dressed in a black combat outfit, blew on the dagger in his hand and gave Bai Lian a polite smile.

Bai Lian returned the nod politely, her demeanor always mild and gracious. Beneath the street lamp, her radiant face always carried a carefree and lazy charm.

Time was pressing.

Academician Ma had already gotten into the car.

The others also took their places one by one.

These two were still beside each other, though no one dared to hurry them or even dared to look their way.

Jiang Fulai’s palm rested on her back, drawing her into his embrace under the cold street lamp.

After a while, he let go, "I’m leaving."

He lowered his eyes, his shallow gaze settling on Bai Lian’s face, and he stared at her intently for a while before striding towards the nearby car.

The motorcade was ready to depart.

Chen Beixuan did not dare to look their way, only clutching the dagger, and patted Ming Dongheng’s shoulder, "Xiaonming, don’t worry about your trip. I’ll make sure everything with Miss Bai is transparently safe, she won’t lose even a single hair."

Ming Dongheng was specially trained for this.

Anyone who could follow by Jiang Fulai’s side was no mediocre person, with annual salaries in the tens of millions.

Previously, most of this was spent by Jiang Fulai on arranging the protection for Jiang He, but this was the first time he was traveling with Jiang Fulai.

With his departure, Jiang He and Bai Lian were exposed in Jiangjing.

This time taking Ming Dongheng along surprised most people.

The motorcade left.

Chen Beixuan, holding the car keys, approached, assuming Ming Dongheng’s usual role: "Miss Bai, I am Chen Beixuan. Before Xiaonming returns, you may contact me directly for anything. Shall I take you back to the Shanhai Apartment now?"

Bai Lian withdrew her gaze and after hearing Chen Beixuan’s voice, paused briefly before slightly turning her body.

Her eyes settled on Chen Beixuan.

Chen Beixuan was a direct descendant of the Chen Family, her eyebrows somewhat thick, her features prominent, her bearing uniquely wild, characteristic of the Chen Family members.

Like a wild horse that could not be tamed on the battlefield.

Bai Lian nodded her head and thanked Chen Beixuan, "Thank you."

**

At three in the morning, they arrived downstairs at the Shanhai Apartment.

Chen Beixuan got out of the car and watched Bai Lian go upstairs.

She returned to the Chen Family.

Early in the morning, she went to scrounge a meal at the home of old Master Chen. The person in charge of the old master’s daily routine added chopsticks and a bowl for her.

From a distance, a gramophone slowly played Yan Lu’s ’Gambling on Liquor.’

A melodious guzheng piece.

This piece of music was loved by everyone in the Chen Family.

The character Bai Xiangjun portrayed by Yan Lu, exceptionally good with the long spear, and this song was the highlight. Naturally, the Chen Family liked it.

With such good resources and high status in the industry, Yan Lu had these reasons too.

After all, a word from old Master Chen was very important.

"Old Master, I saw Miss Bai up close last night," Chen Beixuan, holding a pair of silver chopsticks, mentioned, "It’s really such a coincidence, she also bears the surname Bai, just happens to be called Bai Lian."

Old Master Chen ate quietly, just listening as Chen Beixuan talked about Bai Lian.

The first time he heard about Bai Lian was at Director Jian’s, later he found out that the girl always mentioned by Director Jian and the one by Jiang Fulai’s side were the same person.

After breakfast.

Old Master Chen freshened up, changed into formal clothing, and took Chen Beixuan to the Clan shrine.

The Chen Family Clan shrine was solemn and dignified.

The courtyard was filled with plaques bearing titles like "Scholar," "Runner-up," "Top Scorer," "General," "..."

All these represented the glory of the Chen Family Clan.

Passing these plaques, Old Master Chen then entered the room where the ancestral spirit tablets were displayed, which held the ranks of past Chen Family clan chiefs.

Chen Beixuan didn’t have many chances to come here, only having been inside twice.

Once was when she ranked first entering the military academy and once during the clan shrine’s open ritual for ancestor worship.

She respectfully worshipped the ancestors with Old Master Chen, and only then did her gaze fall on the uppermost row.
