The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress-Chapter 881: Shocked You Xinzheng 347

Outside.

Director Huang involuntarily took a step forward.

Bai Lian had always respected her teachers in front of Director Huang and Academician Ma—it was the first time he had seen her behave this way.

It was inevitably surprising.

Mao Kun stood beside Director Huang, holding a computer in one hand, squinting at the people in the lounge, and explained unhurriedly, "Not throwing him out was already a restraint on her part, considering her teacher’s face."

"Bai Lian," Ma Jiren looked at Bai Lian, his eyes deep, Academician Ma was immersed in research, and his concern for him was not even as much as that for his nearby assistant, "Now, I have the authority to handle everything of my father."

Gao Yi was facing Bai Lian for the first time.

He had been doubtful about her involvement with Jiang Fulai.

Now, seeing that there were no members of the Jiang Family by Bai Lian’s side, he too felt relieved.

As for Old Director Xiang, he actually cared about her, but pointedly said, "Miss Bai, instead of challenging us here, you might as well spend some time caring for your family."

Upon hearing this, both Director Huang and You Xinzheng’s expressions changed.

Old Director Xiang had connections with the underworld, and in the early years, this was essentially how he dominated the institute.

Both of them were aware of this, You Xinzheng approached Bai Lian, "Junior sister, let’s first go back to your house to check on things, we can discuss Project 925 later."

Even Huang Yushuo, who had remained exceptionally composed from the start, showed some change in expression.

He could not consider the current scene.

He came in directly, giving Bai Lian a look—open aggression is easy to dodge, but secret arrows are hard to defend.

Especially for families like the Xiang Family with a historical background, whose foundations were not entirely clean, the Xiang Family was a top-tier faction in the scientific research circle. In the past, when Academician Ma was alive, they were able to compete with him.

Now that Academician Ma was gone, there was really no one else who could go toe-to-toe with the Xiang Family except for the Jiang Family.

Not to mention, the Xiang Family also had connections with both the legitimate and underworld sides.

You Xinzheng felt that he had been too hasty. Bai Lian should have had better opportunities to progress; he looked at her urgently, hoping she could understand his gaze.

Bai Lian’s gaze was piercing, "Xiaomao."

"Coming, sis." Mao Kun came in with the computer, placed it on the table, and opened the lid to show everyone.

Ma Jiren and Old Director Xiang, seeing the expressions of You Xinzheng and Huang Yushuo, sneered.

Until the next second, when they saw the computer screen.

Old Director Xiang’s gaze deepened, and he immediately stood up, leaning on the table.

On the computer screen’s desktop, there was a declaration signed by Academician Ma himself and bearing the seal of the institute.

The concise declaration stated that in the event of his misfortune, all his projects would be handed over to his closed-door disciple, Bai Lian.

The date was in May.

The institute’s seal was officially used, indicating that this declaration was processed through official procedures and was legally notarized, valid.

This meant that even Ma Jiren could not make decisions for Academician Ma.

The entire lounge was very quiet.

This point, even Old Director Xiang had not anticipated—how much did Ma Tongfeng trust Bai Lian?

That he had made such arrangements so early? freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Old Director Xiang looked deeply at Bai Lian, saying "good" three times in succession, then turned to Andy, saying, "Mr. Andy, let’s move ahead to my house first."

Taking a crowd of people with him, he left.

Mao Kun looked at Ma Jiren, half-smiling, "The seal should be given to me now."

You Xinzheng also reacted, turning to Bai Lian, anxious about the trap set by Old Director Xiang, "First to your house..."

Outside, Ning Xiao came to call Bai Lian, "Sis Lian, Professor Xia and Manager Harald have come to pay their respects to Academician Ma."

Bai Lian slowly crumpled a note into a ball and casually threw it over her shoulder, hitting the trash can.

"No rush," she shook her head, "I’ll take you to meet Manager Harald."

She didn’t look at Ma Jiren again and left the lounge directly.

Behind her, Gao Yi and the people from the Ming Family felt increasingly uneasy, always feeling something was beyond their control.

Meanwhile.

Outside.

Xia Zhuoyu and Yang Lin were together, both reverently offering incense to Academician Ma.

Bai Lian, You Xinzheng, and Director Huang stood on either side, bowing and thanking them.

"Keep it up." Xia Zhuoyu and Director You Xinzheng Huang were acquaintances and also familiar with Bai Lian. Previously, they had even collaborated with Yang Lin to help Ji Shaorong with drug research.

Speaking of Xia Zhuoyu, he was the living forefather of soybean research in the country.

Low-profile by nature, but most people knew him.

Today, they saw him bringing out a student, introducing this student as studying the same research as him.

Just until inside the lounge, Ma Jiren and Gao Yi came out.

When Gao Yi looked up, he saw the foreigners in the yard.

For a moment, he forgot about Jiang Fulai and was momentarily stunned, "Harald Dawson?"
