Chapter 364: Chapter 359: Academician’s Certificate Chapter 364: Chapter 359: Academician’s Certificate “Sir.”

At night, Liu Su gently pushed open the door of the hospital room, and the person inside immediately glared coldly at him.

Liu Su: “…”

On the spacious VIP hospital bed, two people were lying down, one sitting up and the other completely nestled under the covers, only half of a face visible, tiredness evident on it.

As soon as Liu Su opened the door, the person snuggled under the blankets furrowed their brows, as if they were about to wake up.

Liu Su quickly gestured towards his cell phone and tiptoed out.

He had found something.

Whether it was the plane crash or this series of car accidents, both were caused by human interference!

Only suspicious traces were found, but no evidence was left at the scenes. The perpetrator was skilled, making these incidents appear like natural accidents.

Some accidents can be manufactured too.

Qi Si turned off his phone and looked down at the person lying beside him, his gaze deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.

“Mom and Dad are moving back to Beijing,” Shen Zheng came over early in the morning to announce, “The Shen Family’s roots are in Beijing, and it will be easier to handle affairs there.”

After speaking, Shen Zheng looked at Qi Si, “Do you have any leads on the investigation on your end?”

Qi Si: “Not at the moment.”

Shen Zheng frowned.

Had they really not found anything?

Shen Zheng’s people, however, had discovered some odd issues.

Then he glanced at Shen Yan, who was eating breakfast, as if he had come to a realization.

“Alright, I’ll head over this afternoon,” Shen Yan said while answering a call and munching on a steamed bun, “It’s nothing serious; just some minor external injuries. I’ve already recovered.”

The production crew knew that she had had an incident midway through filming and had wanted to come see her, but Shen Yan outright refused.

With so many people crowding the hospital, the news would hit the hot search within half an hour.

“You’re going back to the set this afternoon?” Shen Zheng saw her end the call and disapprovingly said, “The suspicion of it being a human-made accident has not been cleared up. Is it safe for you to go back?”

“Do you suspect it’s retaliation from someone in the industry?” Shen Yan took a sip of soybean milk.

“We can’t rule out that possibility. You should wait a couple more days before going.”

These matters should be clarified within these two days.

“How is the plane crash investigation going?” Shen Yan suddenly asked.

“The tail of the plane broke into several pieces. Fortunately, there were no deaths,” Shen Zheng said, frowning again, “The crew handled it well at the time, saving everyone’s lives.”

No deaths, but there were severe injuries.

Shen Yan swallowed the last of her bun, “If it was intentional, these kinds of incidents won’t happen again in a short period, so I am safe. You guys go ahead and attend to your matters; don’t worry about us.”

“I would like to, but will you even let us?” Shen Zheng said, exasperated.

Shen Yan gave a wry smile and glanced at Qi Si.

Since yesterday, Shen Yan had noticed that Qi Si’s gaze towards her seemed different; she was afraid to delve deep into what it meant.

“Please take good care of Yanyan,” Shen Zheng didn’t want to impose any further.

*

Qi Si stayed in the hospital for two days while Shen Yan returned to the bustling film set and only hurried over in the evenings.

They never brought up the incident of that day again.

Shen Yan became somewhat cautious about it.

Qi Si also noticed, and every time Shen Yan left, he would stand by the window and watch her car drive away.

“Mr. Qi.”

The bodyguard walked in and handed Qi Si several sets of photographs.

“Surveillance still didn’t turn up anything?”

“Yes, the other party is very sharp, leaving no trace, very much like something that would be done by that sort of place.”

Qi Si flipped through the photos in his hand, which captured various corners and the scenes where the incidents occurred, even the photograph of that airplane was included here. He had already watched the video footage three times, able to spot the slightest clues.

Qi Si pressed down on the photos, his gaze deep and cold, “There are even more skilled people among them who have broken in. Send a couple more people to keep an eye on the film crew over there.”

“Understood.”

Jian Yu was still in Beijing, as was Shen Ning locked up inside.

Qi Si pressed his temples and turned to leave the hospital room.

After hanging from wires for most of the day, Shen Yan came down and Qin Ding Yue immediately scampered over, “Yanyan, you look even worse than yesterday. Why not take another break?”

Shen Yan shook her head, sat down wearily, and took a big gulp of water handed to her by Xiao Zhao.

“I’m fine, I’ll recover after a bit of rest,” Shen Yan said, pressing her hand against her head.

Qin Ding Yue frowned and said, “Yanyan, you’re pushing yourself too hard.”

She could have relied on her looks, but she insisted on making it on her own merits.

“How can I survive in this industry if I don’t strive for more?” Shen Yan couldn’t help but laugh.

“Yanyan, your phone,” Xiao Zhao picked up the buzzing phone that was on the side.

Shen Yan saw the number on her phone, made an apologetic gesture, and then walked away before answering.

“Vice Dean Shao.”

“I only found out today that you were involved in that car accident. How are you, nothing serious, right?” Vice Dean Shao felt Shen Yan was a bit unlucky.

To be caught up in such an affair!

“Just a bit of a scare, nothing else. Thank you for your concern, Vice Dean Shao.”

“You’re a pillar of the future; if I didn’t care, and you ran off, those old-timers would skin me alive. Since you’re alright, there’s no need for me to send any experts over to handle it.” Vice Dean Shao had made the call because he had another matter to discuss with her, “Your certificate has arrived.”

“Certificate? I didn’t take any exam…”

“That day’s written exam and the practical test were very effective assessments. You’ve been promoted directly to Academician.”

“…”

Most people would be overjoyed upon hearing such news, but Shen Yan remained calm.

And somewhat doubtful.

“This was a unanimous decision by everyone, and also a recognition of you! When you return to Beijing, we’ll celebrate for you! You are the youngest and most outstanding Academician our research institute has ever had—unprecedented! Congratulations, Shen Yan!” Vice Dean Shao’s voice was gentle as he conveyed his congratulations.

Shen Yan hesitantly replied, “That… Vice Dean Shao.”

“Uh-huh, go ahead.”

“Don’t you think this is too much of a joke? Is this really a national research institute?” Shen Yan asked with a very skeptical attitude.

Vice Dean Shao: “……”

After a long silence on his end, suppressing his twitching mouth corners, he said between gritted teeth, “Do you want to come back and see your Academician certificate, or take a look at the sign at our institute’s gate?”

“…There’s no need,” Shen Yan found it all too playful, unreal.

“You have no idea how much effort we put into this certificate for you, and the pressure we faced. But to you, it seems like a joke, child’s play. Shen Yan, do you think just anyone can easily enter the research institute? Or pass through the barriers as easily as you did? We don’t look at seniority or age anymore, only contributions and ability! Understand? Your research was a success, earning high praise from the higher-ups, and it has saved many patients plagued by disease… This is what you deserve, so don’t doubt its legitimacy!”

Shen Yan sensed that Vice Dean Shao was angry, or else he wouldn’t have spoken such a lengthy speech.

Vice Dean Shao huffed coldly, then pressed his chest and hung up the phone.

Shen Yan: “…”

He was really angry!

Just one contribution, and the research institute awarded her such high honor—she truly felt undeserving. If this honor could be monetized… she’d be even happier!

Shen Yan held her phone, her face a picture of ease!

Before, she felt that everyone around her was a potential enemy, but now she realized that, in fact, everyone was quite endearing!
