Out of jealousy?
Xia Sanghuan pondered for a moment.
If that was the reason, she could somewhat relate.
But she was afraid there was more to this matter.
"I'll ask Brother Chuanjin to look into it," she said.
"Do you suspect him?" Professor He asked.
"Yes."
"There are too many things about him that don't add up."
Actually, he had always had a good impression of Wei Linjun.
Wei Linjun had studied under him for a while. In his impression, he had always been a quiet and motivated person, and he was polite and gentle to everyone.
But after he brought his own students to make a scene in the research lab, his opinion of him completely changed.
Even though Wei Linjun had shown up last, it was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that he had come to fan the flames.
It was very likely that he had even instigated his students.
"Let's call it a day then," Professor He said.
"It's almost time for school to end."
The girl nodded and took off her white lab coat.
...
"Has Leng Qiuhua 'found' the time to see me?"
Leng Chuanjin typed the last word on his computer, then looked up at Yun Ye.
"Yes, Young Master Leng," Yun Ye replied.
"Leng Qiuhua asked if you're available at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
He sneered.
"No need to wait until tomorrow morning. We'll go see him now."
He stood up and straightened his suit jacket.
Did Leng Qiuhua think he was a fool?
How could he wait until he had everything arranged before going to see him?
Of course, he would go now and catch him off guard.
He walked around the desk and headed towards the door.
The computer on the desk was still on a page that showed the IP address of the "victim"'s son was in Leng Qiuhua's company.
That man had already been arrested along with the group that framed Xia Sanghuan, but Leng Chuanjin always felt like he was missing something.
Of course, he knew that these people were just scapegoats.
But those who often walk by the river are bound to get their shoes wet.
Even if they were just scapegoats, they could still find some clues.
So after a thorough investigation, they found the real address behind the virtual IP address.
They had thought it would be the Xie family, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be his own uncle.
By the time he arrived at Leng Qiuhua's company, the old fox had already prepared a meeting room to receive him.
"I'm not here for tea," he said as soon as he sat down. Leng Qiuhua had just handed him a cup of hot tea.
"I know," Leng Qiuhua replied.
"After all, you're so imposing. People who don't know might think you're here to smash my place up."
"Chuanjin, are you always this free?"
He picked up the cup and took a sip, as if he wasn't the least bit flustered.
"Count how many times you've come to see me lately. You used to not even come once in half a year."
There was even a smile on his face.
"Whether I'm free or not, you know very well. I don't have time for your nonsense," Leng Chuanjin said.
"Call your son here."
Hearing this, Leng Qiuhua's face instantly turned ugly.
"I don't know what the great Young Master Leng wants with Jiayuan, but I'm afraid I have to tell you that he's not here."
Leng Chuanjin squinted his eyes.
"So now you're willing to admit he's your son?"
Leng Qiuhua's face twitched.
He had been outsmarted by this kid.
"It doesn't matter if he's not here," Leng Chuanjin said.
"I'll just come back when he is."
"However..."
He gave a soft laugh.
"Do you really think you can protect him from me?"
His voice suddenly turned cold, filled with threat.
"Chuanjin, don't forget that I'm still your uncle," Leng Qiuhua said.
"You didn't think about that when you tried to harm me," Leng Chuanjin retorted.
He stood up and looked down at him.
"Call your son here by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
"This is even later than the time you originally set. You shouldn't be unable to do it, right?"
After saying that, he left without giving Leng Qiuhua a chance to refute.
It was only when he got in the car that he let out a tired sigh.
"Young Master Leng, do you want to go straight home or back to the company?" Yun Ye asked.
He was silent for a moment, then said,
"Go to Philnoth."
"What?"
"Go pick up Sanghuan and take her home."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and ignored Yun Ye's suddenly widened eyes.
Yun Ye turned the steering wheel and made a U-turn.
Although the Young Master's words were unusual, he was almost used to it.
The Young Master had broken so many of his own rules for Miss Xia.
The car soon arrived at the school gate. School hadn't ended yet, so there weren't many people around.
Looking at the street bathed in the evening glow, the man's mood gradually calmed down.
There was even a hint of anticipation.
But that anticipation was instantly shattered when he saw Xia Sanghuan and Jiang Zimo.
The two of them seemed to be talking about something. The girl kept nodding.
She had her back to him, so he couldn't see her expression.
Finally, Jiang Zimo handed her a document, and then they went their separate ways.
When the girl turned around, he saw the faint smile on her face.
He felt a sharp pain in his eyes.
Xia Sanghuan walked out of the school gate with the document in her arms. When she saw Leng Chuanjin's car, the smile on her face grew wider.
She walked up to the car and opened the door.
"Brother Chuanjin, you're here..."
Her excited mood gradually faded when she saw the man's expression. Her voice also grew softer.
"Yeah," he said, moving inside to make room for her.
Not understanding why he had suddenly become cold, she sat in the car awkwardly.
The ride back was filled with silence.
Yun Ye secretly observed the expressions of the Young Master and Miss Xia through the rearview mirror. He didn't understand why his Young Master had suddenly changed his attitude.
To be more precise, he had been in a bad mood for a while.
Neither of them said a word. It seemed like they were both holding back their anger.
After dinner, while Leng Wanqing was away, the girl finally said to the man,
"Help me investigate how Wei Linjun came to Philnoth and the exact time he arrived."
Hearing her words, he didn't look up. He was still looking at the document in his hand.
He just replied casually,
"Okay."
She frowned, feeling a bit dissatisfied.
She opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything and just turned around and left.
Looking at her emotional back, he was in a daze for a while, then he averted his gaze.
He knew he had been childish this afternoon, but he just couldn't help it.
In the past, no one could ever make him care so much.
Just then, Yun Ye sent him a new report.
There was also a message.
"Young Master, were you jealous this afternoon?"
Looking at these words, he pursed his lips. He couldn't even focus on the document anymore.
