Chapter 407: Chapter 402: Slander and Partiality Chapter 407: Chapter 402: Slander and Partiality Shen Feng had an accident, and the Research Institute was also anxious.

Vice Dean Shao personally brought people over to visit. The surgery went very well, and Shen Feng was out of danger.

But Jian Yu’s complexion became ever more sallow.

No one standing in the ward dared to make a sound, the air pressure was so low it made it difficult to breathe.

Shen Ning put her new project on hold and rushed over, seeing everyone so solemn and silent she thought something serious had happened to Shen Feng, her voice even trembled, “Mom, is my brother…?”

“He’s fine,” Jian Yu suddenly replied, breaking the oppressive atmosphere.

Her sharp gaze swept over to Vice Dean Shao and his group on the other side, with such a look that, to the unknowing, it might seem as if it were Vice Dean Shao and his people who had caused Shen Feng to end up like this.

Vice Dean Shao raised an eyebrow, “Dr. Jian, Shen Feng is from our Research Institute. We will deploy additional staff to investigate this incident.”

Jian Yu retorted with cold sarcasm, “I had thought the Research Institute could only see Shen Yan.”

Vice Dean Shao’s eyebrows knitted tightly, “Dr. Jian, do you have an issue with our Research Institute?”

“If this incident is related to Shen Yan, how will the Research Institute handle it?” Jian Yu asked coldly.

At these words, the faces of everyone in the ward changed.

What did Jian Yu mean by that!

“Whether it has something to do with Shen Yan, we will find out clearly, but until there is evidence, please Dr. Jian, do not slander our Academician,” Vice Dean Shao’s voice became somewhat harsher.

He was blatantly favoring Shen Yan.

Jian Yu’s gaze on the people from the Research Institute was cold, “Your young Academician is not what she seems to be. I hope when the day comes that you see her true face, the Research Institute can still blindly favor her.”

“Dr. Jian,” Vice Dean Shao’s face darkened, his tone stern, “If you have a personal grudge with Shen Yan, please address it openly and don’t defame her behind her back, as this will only make us think less of you.”

Jian Yu just returned a cold laugh to them, seemingly disdaining to explain any further.

“Mom, do you know how my brother got hurt like this?” Shen Ning, as if catching on to some doubt, looked at Jian Yu and urgently asked.

Jian Yu swept another look at Vice Dean Shao and the others, and said in a tone that was neither here nor there, “If it was not clear, why would I point it out to their faces?”

Vice Dean Shao and his group’s brows were furrowed tightly, Jian Yu really did suspect Shen Yan was behind it.

They didn’t understand, there was no enmity or grudge between Shen Yan and Shen Feng, why would she harm Shen Feng?

That’s not right.

This is simply Jian Yu’s own malicious conjecture.

Coming here and immediately pointing the finger at Shen Yan, could Dr. Jian be driven by jealousy?

Thus wanting to tarnish Shen Yan and then utterly destroy her, so that Shen Feng and Shen Ning could stand at the forefront, unimpeded.

Vice Dean Shao turned out to be quite imaginative.

But the reality wasn’t so far off.

Jian Yu was indeed jealous of Shen Yan, and even more, he was wary and angry!

Shen Yan’s rise was too abrupt, her achievements too dazzling, moreover, they were similar to the research Jian Yu and his group had done before.

And now she had a reason to suspect that this Shen Yan had some strange connection with her eldest daughter!

After this incident occurred, Jian Yu felt she might have forgotten to verify something.

“Dr. Jian, our Research Institute respects you, but we also ask that you stop defaming our people. The Shen Yan we know would absolutely not do such a thing, unless some people have done something shameful. Of course, if you have suspicions and want to investigate thoroughly, then include the Shen Family in that detailed investigation!” Vice Dean Shao was truly angered.

How could Jian Yu possibly let them investigate the Shen Family.

Once a thorough investigation was conducted, many things would be forced into the open.

Just the matter of Shen Yan alone could shock the world.

Therefore, this matter absolutely could not be allowed to be investigated by the core high-level authorities of Z country.

Seeing the changing expressions on Jian Yu’s face, Vice Dean Shao directly let out a cold laugh, “Dr. Jian, be prepared. We will submit an application to look into this thoroughly! We’ll need the cooperation of the entire Shen Family, and I hope Dr. Jian won’t resist.”

Anger surged in Jian Yu’s heart, but facing Vice Dean Shao’s aggressive demeanor, she simply couldn’t express it.

Her complexion turned dark with frustration.

“We will investigate this matter ourselves; there’s no need to bother the research institute.”

“That won’t do. Since Dr. Jian has expressed suspicion, it must be thoroughly investigated. Our research institute does not want to lose a talented academician,” Vice Dean Shao had no intention of letting her off easily.

In the brief exchange of words, Vice Dean Shao felt the situation was far from simple.

What exactly was going on between Shen Yan and Jian Yu?

“Given the Shen Family’s current status, the research institute might find it difficult to intervene. This is an issue of international concern, Vice Dean Shao. Do you really want to insist on investigating?” Jian Yu was a research scholar from abroad, and indeed, it was not easy for their research institute to investigate.

But what of it?

“So, Dr. Jian is aware that this matter could involve international issues. To doubt Shen Yan is to doubt the research institute.”

Jian Yu took a deep breath, “Vice Dean Shao, there’s no need for us to argue about this here today.”

“Indeed, there isn’t,” Vice Dean Shao glanced at Shen Feng on the hospital bed, “We in the research institute will pay extra attention to his case.”

With that said, he left with his people.

He Group Leader and the others were also in a rush to do research and did not stay for long.

“Mom.”

Shen Ning called out as she saw Jian Yu standing by the window, staring coldly in one direction ever since they left.

Jian Yu didn’t respond.

“Is my brother’s injury really related to Shen Yan? Why? Why would she target my brother?”

Shen Ning didn’t understand.

It was then that Jian Yu responded, looking at her younger daughter with a sigh, “What if I told you that the two terminal illness drugs, now being researched by Shen Yan, were once projects suppressed by our lab. Would you believe that?”

“What!”

Shen Ning’s pupils trembled.

Jian Yu’s gaze darkened, “Shen Yan is worried that I will expose her, so she’s targeting me now. I’m telling you this not to have you do anything but to keep you away from this person. Let mom handle what needs to be done, and you focus on your own research.”

“But how could Shen Yan get her hands on your internal research projects?” Shen Ning was still in shock.

“That is exactly what I need to investigate. If you encounter her later, don’t mention this, otherwise she’ll stop at nothing to harm you given her ruthlessness.”

“She wouldn’t…”

“She will,” Jian Yu’s gaze sharpened, “Can you do that?”

“Mom, I don’t understand,” Shen Ning didn’t want to believe it was true, yet the person saying this was her mother. Compared to outsiders, she trusted her family more.

Her parents never lied.

But how could Shen Yan… be that kind of person?

Deep down, Shen Ning was reluctant to believe it.

Yet the young age of Shen Yan and her exceptional achievements were significant doubts.

Her mother’s words also reasonably explained how Shen Yan was able to achieve so much in such a short time!

When everything seemed logical, she couldn’t help but believe it.

Shen Ning glanced at Shen Feng lying on the bed, her lips tightly pressed, her eyes growing colder.

If it truly was Shen Yan’s doing, she would not forgive her.

She would not allow anyone to harm her family!
