Chapter 852: 331 arrested! Grandfather is about to make a move! _2

"We’ve just dispatched fighters to investigate," they said.

Not to mention the Jiang Family, they are anxious too. Currently, the research concerns a cornerstone of modern quantum mechanics and the future of dark matter in relation to the space agency.

If these two have issues, domestic physics will be set back by more than a decade.

Jiang Xijue hung up the phone, changed clothes, grabbed his phone, got in the car, and went directly to headquarters to keep watch.

**

As soon as the car arrived, he saw that the Gao Family people had already reached there.

Perhaps right after the incident, the location was in full armor.

The convoy at the entrance was fully equipped and ready to depart.

Gao Yi, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, had just got out of the car when he saw Jiang Xijue and asked without betraying any emotion, "Director Jiang, what has brought you here?"

"Mr. Gao," Jiang Xijue felt a heaviness in his heart, but his face remained as gentle as jade, and he was polite in his behavior, "I am here to see Sister Beixuan. Excuse me."

Chen Beixuan worked right here.

Jiang Xijue politely bowed and entered the airtight building.

As soon as he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared.

Chen Beixuan was collecting information. When she saw Jiang Xijue, she tilted her head and took a deep breath, "There is some bad news."

Jiang Xijue’s mind was shaken. "Go ahead."

"I’ve just intercepted a message," Chen Beixuan grabbed her phone, "Academician Ma can’t hold on anymore, his last call was to Miss Bai. Throughout the project, he only contacted Miss Bai."

The only call before leaving was to Bai Lian.

"What?" Jiang Xijue didn’t understand why Academician Ma would call Bai Lian, but he quickly reacted, "Where is Miss Bai now?"

He knew that after Jiang Fulai left, Chen Beixuan hadn’t been on any missions because she had to stay in Jiangjing.

Academician Ma left behind many things, and regardless of the reason for calling Bai Lian.

Bai Lian would definitely be watched closely.

Chen Beixuan walked outside. "I just called her. She’s at the Research Institute. I should’ve gone directly with her."

She hurried towards the door.

Jiang Xijue knew what she was worried about and followed Chen Beixuan directly.

Academician Ma’s last call made Bai Lian extremely important.

When they arrived at the Research Institute, there were already more than a dozen armed vehicles parked downstairs. Chen Beixuan and Jiang Xijue exchanged a glance.

Chen Beixuan took out her credentials and went in.

Two people in formal attire were escorting Bai Lian outside. Today, Bai Lian was wearing an oat-colored opposite-collar dress that Ji Heng had embroidered for her a few months ago.

The sleeves were airy, and the hem was layered with poppies in yellow, pink, and white.

Butterflies flitted amidst the flowers.

The flower that Jiang Fulai had embroidered was hidden in the midst, not conspicuous.

The two groups met at the elevator entrance.

The one leading was Chen Luping, whom Chen Beixuan hadn’t seen for a long time.

Chen Luping’s gaze fell upon Chen Beixuan and Jiang Xijue, especially on Chen Beixuan. "Beixuan, I’ve been ordered to take Miss Bai to the Safety Bureau for investigation."

The Safety Bureau.

That place was beyond the Chen Family’s reach, and both Chen Beixuan and Jiang Xijue felt heavy at heart in an instant.

Chen Beixuan looked towards Bai Lian who lazily clasped her hands in front of her chest, her expression still casual, showing no sign of the anxiety one might have being taken away for investigation. She even greeted Chen Beixuan and Jiang Xijue.

Her demeanor was incredibly calm and composed.

It seems she still doesn’t know where she’s being taken, Chen Luping glanced at Bai Lian from the corner of his eye, with a faint trace of mockery on his face.

"Sorry, I have to take her back for a debriefing," Chen Luping nodded to Sister Beixuan and Jiang Xijue and then led Bai Lian out the door.

Chen Luping took Bai Lian away, and the fleet of cars sped off.

Sister Beixuan’s expression grew grave as she took out her phone to send a message to Xu Nanjing.

Bai Lian is now being taken away for investigation, and it’s unclear what the situation is, but at least for the short term, Bai Lian won’t be released.

Outside, the situation is tense.

However, the atmosphere in Shanhai Apartment is quite harmonious.

Zhang Shize has received a mountain of gifts for his academic achievements, and is now opening them in apartment 303.

Ji Heng also came over to 303 earlier, moving several potted plants down from the balcony.

With Ming Dongheng absent, he’s typically the one who tends to the plants in 303.

Chi Yundai has taken a few days off recently and also joined the young people at Shanhai Apartment. Zhang’s mother, however, did not return. She went with Zhang Shize’s grandparents to tour Jiang University instead.

"Score of 701, I never imagined that one day I could score so high," Zhang Shize said while holding the medal Chi Yundai gave him, squatting on the carpet, and looking up to speak to Chi Yundai, "It always feels like I haven’t had time to do much this year, and then I scored a 701."

Chi Yundai glanced at the medal in Zhang Shize’s hand and said, giving him a look, "This year, the path you’ve taken has been much harder than for others."

Zhang Shize nodded while holding the medal.

The two were talking.

The doorbell was violently pressed, as Xu Nanjing came in from outside. He saw Chi Yundai and was about to say something, but then his eyes fell on Ji Heng next to him and he immediately swallowed back his words.

He greeted Ji Heng and the others as usual.

Ji Heng was busy with Bai Lian’s flowers and didn’t pay attention to his state.

Carrying a flower pot downstairs.

After Ji Heng went downstairs, Xu Nanjing shared the main issues with Chi Yundai but concealed the temporary loss of contact with Jiang Fulai’s project, only mentioning that Bai Lian might need to cooperate with an investigation.

With Bai Lian’s situation coming to light, it couldn’t be hidden for long.

"Security Bureau?" Zhang Shize and Ning Xiao, among a few others, had never heard of it, but they could guess what sort of place it might be.

Ning Xiao asked bluntly, "What exactly happened?"

"It’s confidential and still under investigation," Xu Nanjing said stably, his voice deep, "Don’t mention this to grandfather or your aunt just yet; we don’t want to worry them. Sister Beixuan and I are already looking for solutions."

Confidential? fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Ning Xiao was calm, "I understand."

He sent a message to Xiaoqi. Hearing ’Security Bureau’ and ’confidential,’ Ning Xiao could imagine.

The Azure Dragon Bar is managed by Mao Kun.

But for Xuan Kang, Bai Lian is the backstage supporter, and Xiaoqi is just an agent—Ning Xiao was clear about these facts.

With Bai Lian’s case tagged as confidential, both Xuan Kang and the martial arts hall would certainly be affected.

Xiaoqi had already received a message from Bai Lian at noon and had moved early along with Mao Kun and Hall Master Jin. He wasn’t surprised by Ning Xiao’s message.

However, he still mentioned the situation to Mu Yining.

Xuan Kang is currently collaborating with the Mu Family’s research institute. If they are under investigation, it’s certain that the Mu Family’s medical research institute is involved as well.

Downstairs, Ji Heng reentered.

He punched in the code, always composed, and upon entering, he noticed the room full of people, still holding his pipe, he looked at Zhang Shize, "What’s this? Why the long faces?"
