After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 472 - 467: Attitude When Asking for Help

"He Group Leader, the research laboratory where Jian Yu is located has already issued a warning to your research institute,"

Old Shen got straight to the point.

He Group Leader raised an eyebrow, "That’s the overseas laboratory’s concern, and I’m not in charge of handling this matter, Old Shen has found the wrong person."

Saying this, He Group Leader looked at his phone to check the time, nine minutes left.

Seeing He Group Leader brazenly counting the time in front of him made Old Shen’s face look extremely unpleasant.

It was quite obvious that during this meeting, He Group Leader’s attitude had shifted.

"You are the lead figure of the third research laboratory and also the head of the research team, a position of no small standing. You ought to have a say in the institute’s numerous meetings and incidents. I hope you can convey the Shen Family’s perspective upward. Jian Yu has made so many contributions to the domestic research, your institute must have a record of that. The research institute should not crush the patriotism of its researchers, look to learn more from abroad."

He Group Leader detected the sarcasm in the words and his expression cooled, staring at Old Shen, "Old Shen, the younger generation respects you because you were once an outstanding researcher, who even at your age, still contributes to Mountain City. However, this is not your license to insult the research institute. You have no right to say these words."

Old Shen’s face grew dark, his words sharp, "The sacrifices our Shen Family has made for research are clearly documented. Whether I have the right to speak is not up to a junior group leader to decide."

Old Shen was decidedly unhappy with He Group Leader’s rebuttal.

He Group Leader watched the forceful elder and laughed, "What’s the use of telling me all this? You’re right, I’m just a junior group leader, unable to assist the Shen Family. Old Shen should seek someone more capable and not waste time with the junior. The ten minutes are up, please."

Old Shen’s face turned ashen in an instant, glaring at He Group Leader as if He Group Leader was the one who had detained Jian Yu.

He Group Leader wasn’t going to indulge him and rose to return to his own research laboratory.

Old Shen was so angry his face contorted, he wanted to rage, but with no one else around, he could only leave stiffled with pent-up frustration.

Upon returning to his laboratory, He Group Leader called Elder Lin and notified him that Old Shen had visited. freewebnσvel.cøm

Old Shen had come to He Group Leader after hitting a wall with Elder Lin and others, because compared to other highbrow big-shots, He Group Leader was much more approachable and easier to manipulate.

But Old Shen was mistaken. He Group Leader had already grown disappointed with Jian Yu and had no intention of spending any more effort on her.

Thus, Old Shen had met with an immovable barrier this time.

Elder Lin consoled He Group Leader briefly, then relayed the incident to his son, Professor Lin.

Professor Lin was supportive of Shen Yan, and so the information reached Shen Yan’s hands.

Learning that Old Shen had gone to see He Group Leader, Shen Yan just scoffed.

The Shancheng Shen Family elders, she didn’t like any of them, all holding their heads too high, never deigning to look down at others.

Presumably, they wanted to use He Group Leader for something, but unfortunately, He Group Leader was no fool.

Thinking of the Shancheng Shen Family left Shen Yan feeling nothing but ice-cold.

From the first time she was forcibly injected with the research liquid, she had grown to utterly hate the Shen Family.

With this lead, Shen Yan was not worried that Jian Yu would be released, just waiting for the so-called overseas research team to arrive.

She wondered if Shen Wenhong would return with them?

If he did return, it would be difficult for him to leave again.

Although Shen Feng and Shen Ning said nothing, the Shen Family soon found out about Shen Yan; many details were not covered up, and it wasn’t hard for the Shen Family to dig them up.

Knowing that Shen Yan was 80% tied to this matter, the Shen Family began a thorough investigation into her specific circumstances.

Same surname, Shen.

Same given name, Yan.

It really was a coincidence.

Even if that name reminded them of the Shen Yan from before, it did nothing to diminish their anger towards her.

In the oppressive residence, Shen Feng rubbed his temples with a headache, "Grandpa, Shen Yan isn’t the main issue. The issue lies with the research. Do you understand?"

"That girl is the root cause of all the trouble. Are you defending her?" Shen Feng’s uncle’s face darkened, "You’re not mistaking another girl with the same name for your sister, are you?"

Shen Feng’s brow furrowed tighter, "My sister is dead."

"Good that you know."

"Shen Feng, you’re becoming weaker by the day. It’s no wonder that He Group Leader is pushing you around. With your achievements, you could easily take her place, even stand higher."

The Shen Family always took pride in themselves.

And were somewhat narcissistic.

When Shen Feng heard this, his frown deepened, "He Group Leader is very capable, and I know my own limits. As for Shen Yan, don’t meddle in it. If you do, it will only make things worse."

"Isn’t it just because they have the backing of the Qi Family? The foundations of the Qi Family are deep, but they are ultimately just businessmen, people from a different world than us. As for the Shen Family in Beijing, they are also businessmen. Could our Shancheng Shen Family really be inferior to them? Shen Feng, your mother is still imprisoned. Don’t you want to save her?"

Of course, Shen Feng wanted to save Jian Yu, but it had to be a rescue within the confines of the law!

What worried him the most was whether the things Shen Yan said were true.

"If mother hasn’t done anything wrong, I will do everything I can to save her, but if..." If she really did something unforgivable, he feared he wouldn’t even have the courage to ask anyone for help.

Shen Yan was getting ready to return to Shen City, and Qi Si was also packing his luggage with her.

Seeing him pack, Shen Yan asked, "Is Mr. Qi leaving the same day as me?"

"You go back first. I’ll leave a day later."

He still had some work to arrange.

Shen Yan took her pajamas and entered the bathroom.

Qi Si casually packed up her other belongings and found Shen Yan’s tightly packed suitcase. As he stuffed some items in, he brushed against a black velvet pouch, seemingly containing something made of wood.

He thought about taking it out to have a look but then considered it Shen Yan’s privacy and withdrew his hand.

Closing the half-opened suitcase, the mobile phone on the low table buzzed. Qi Si, thinking it was his own, picked it up only to discover it was Shen Yan’s. A message flashed on the touchscreen.

Li Yanbai?

"You also joined that variety show..."

He couldn’t see the rest, but just the name Li Yanbai made Qi Si’s eyes narrow dangerously.

Shen Yan met good-looking young men every day in the entertainment industry; they could form a group or a whole team. Qi Si knew it was irrational for him to be bothered by this.

But he couldn’t help making those speculations.

He didn’t have the charm of those men in the entertainment industry, and they were still in a marriage of alliance...

More importantly, Shen Yan was more capable than him.

A level of capability he couldn’t hope to catch up to no matter how hard he tried.

If she tired of him and wanted to support a whole group of young and handsome men, it wasn’t impossible.

Those men in the entertainment industry would go to any lengths for fame, with no bottom line to speak of.

The more outlandish his imaginings ran, the icier Qi Si’s expression became, as if he could squeeze ice shavings from his scowl!
