Chapter 351: Chapter 346: Take Shen Ning Away! Chapter 351: Chapter 346: Take Shen Ning Away! “Are our people injured?” Shen Yan loosened his grip and asked calmly.

“Just some minor injuries, no fatalities in the car accident, but there were serious ones,” Professor Lin sighed, “We didn’t expect something like this to happen domestically.”

“The stolen document isn’t important,” Shen Yan said, “Does the research institute have any suspects?”

“The escort team reported to the institute immediately, saying that they encountered a researcher when they were leaving, but…”

Professor Lin seemed to be having trouble.

“Is the identity of that researcher causing the institute trouble?” Shen Yan quickly picked up on Professor Lin’s momentary hesitation.

“Her family’s status is a bit sensitive,” Professor Lin paused, then continued, “You probably haven’t heard of the Shancheng Shen Family.”

“Indeed, I haven’t heard of them.” Shen Yan’s calm tone was tinged with a hint of mockery.

It was already clear that it was Jian Yu’s doing.

What, she was willing to use her precious daughter now?

Professor Lin didn’t notice the subtle change in Shen Yan’s emotions and went on to describe the situation of the Shancheng Shen Family.

It was evident that Professor Lin held this family in high regard.

But if Professor Lin knew about the despicable actions of the family’s elders, would he still show such admiration?

“What will the institute do next?” Shen Yan asked, cutting off Professor Lin’s praise for the Shen Family.

“Shen Ning must go through a process, and we will cooperate with the investigation to find out who is behind this,” Professor Lin said gravely, “You’ve made a significant contribution to this matter, so we must make it clear to you what happened.”

This was his reason for explaining the situation over the phone to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan spotted Qi Si’s car, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, “This matter still has to be handled by the institute. I can’t leave for the time being; I’m sorry.”

“With so many people at the institute, we don’t have to have you come back to deal with it. Take care of your business,” Professor Lin, fearing he had disturbed Shen Yan for too long, hung up the phone.

“Have you been waiting long?”

Qi Si got out of the car and quickly walked over to Shen Yan.

The look in Qi Si’s eyes wasn’t as indifferent as it was in the beginning; now those eyes always seemed to carry a depth that hinted at deeper feelings.

Those eyes made Shen Yan’s heart flutter!

“No, I just came out,” Liu Su and Xiao Zhao didn’t follow, being very considerate.

“Let’s go,” Qi Si glanced around behind her, and not seeing anyone suspicious, he followed her into the car.

Shen Yan glanced at the documents in front of the seat, knowing he had been working on the go.

For someone in power, being busy was the norm.

Shen Yan didn’t disturb him after getting in the car but sat quietly to one side.

“Are you hungry? Have some snacks first to tide you over,” Qi Si handed her a beautifully crafted paper bag and disposable gloves.

Shen Yan looked inside and, smelling the scent, laughed, “Mr. Qi isn’t afraid of making me fat.”

Qi Si glanced at her figure, “Still too thin.”

“…” Shen Yan felt his gaze implied something more.

The so-called snacks in Qi Si’s hand were marinated delights.

Shen Yan wasn’t worried about getting fat and started eating right away.

Qi Si took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, then adjusted it to the right position before placing it in the cup holder in front of her, making it convenient for her to pick up and put down.

He also pulled out a small paper bag and hooked it on a little hook for her to dispose of bones and other waste.

After finishing these tasks and seeing that she was comfortable, he picked up the documents and began working.

Shen Yan ate with relish, smiling throughout the meal.

Even though the two of them had no topics of conversation, being together felt extraordinarily comfortable.

Someone who makes you feel at ease, even if you’ve only known them for a day, is the right person for a lifetime!

Being with someone does not necessarily require anything flamboyant, calm and comfortable is very fitting too!

Shen Yan glanced over at Qi Si as she ate, who was deeply engrossed in his work and moved swiftly.

He even managed to take a phone call while dealing with another task, occasionally sweeping a gaze her way to ensure she needed no assistance before returning his attention to the documents in hand.

She wasn’t sure whose call it was, but Shen Yan distinctly felt a shift in Qi Si’s demeanor.

However, it fizzled out as quickly as it had emerged.

It wasn’t until after they had finished their meal that Qi Si mentioned he needed to return to Beijing.

Hearing “Beijing,” Shen Yan couldn’t help but think of the item that had been stolen.

In truth, even if they had the item, it wouldn’t be of much use since they had already applied for the patent rights.

With the world patent rights on their side, even if it was taken abroad, it would still belong to them.

Hence, Shen Yan wasn’t as eager as usual to recover the item.

The more Jian Yu cared, the more it meant her objective was achieved.

“My work here is progressing quickly; it won’t be long before I can return,” Shen Yan didn’t behave like other women who would coquettishly try to detain a man busy with his career.

The level of attention Qi Si was able to give was already quite remarkable.

“I will leave some people behind to protect you,” Qi Si moved to her side, his large hand resting against the side of her head as he leaned down and kissed her forehead, “There are too many people at the film city, don’t refuse.”

“…Okay, I’ll have Uncle Liu make arrangements for them,” Shen Yan didn’t refuse this time.

Qi Si leaned in again and kissed the corner of her mouth, then grew more daring and kissed her lips.

Shen Yan smiled, lifting her hand to wrap around his neck.

On the other side, just as Jian Yu received the delivered item, Shen Ning was taken away.

Those who burst in didn’t hesitate at the face of Dr. Jian’s reputation and went straight to forcefully taking Shen Ning with them.

“What are you doing!”

With a stern face, Jian Yu stepped in front of Shen Ning, eyeing the group who barged in with hostility.

“We are merely inviting Researcher Shen back for an investigation. Dr. Jian, I presume. I hope you won’t interfere too much with domestic affairs,” the person spoke with some disrespect, clearly aware of Jian Yu’s identity.

This irked Jian Yu, “You storm in here demanding to take my daughter and I can’t interfere? That’s nonsensical. I’m going to sue you for abuse of power. You can’t take my daughter away before we understand what’s happening.”

“I’m sorry, Dr. Jian, Researcher Shen is involved in a confidential operation. Even if you personally call the higher-ups, it won’t make a difference,” the person retorted stiffly as they saw Jian Yu reaching for her phone.

“Nobody is taking my daughter away,” Jian Yu, upon hearing words like “investigation” and “confidential,” knew the matter was not simple.

And she vaguely felt that it was related to the task she had been assigned.

Thus, she was even more determined not to let them take Shen Ning.

Once taken away, the people Jian Yu had arranged on the outskirts would have no way of getting inside.

It was best to keep Shen Ning here.

While they were at a standoff, the phone of the person leading the team rang, and with a grave expression, they answered, “Team Leader Qi, they are unwilling to cooperate. Yes, I understand!”

After hanging up, the team leader’s expression darkened, and he commanded, “Take Shen Ning!”

“You dare,” Jian Yu snapped coldly.

“Keep Dr. Jian back,” the team leader ordered, his face emotionless.
