Five days later, and the weekend was approaching, Xiao Muran called Cen Wei.

At the first sentence, Xiao Muran asked cautiously: "Is Li Rong by your side?"

Cen Wei looked at the time, it was ten o'clock in the evening, and it made sense for Li Rong to be by his side, so he replied, "Yes, let's have a meal."

Li Rong, who had just taken a shower, was wearing a bath towel, his upper body was naked, his hair was still dripping, and his breath smelled of refreshing mint shower gel.

Hearing Cen Xiao's answer, he raised his eyebrows, and soon realized who was calling, and immediately slowed down the sound of slippers rubbing against the ground.

He came to Cen Xiao's side sweetly, and said to Xiao Muran who was on the opposite side of the phone: "Mr. Xiao, I'm here."

Xiao Muran's voice was suddenly gentle: "Why did you eat so late? I heard that you have a bad stomach. You should eat regularly in the future. I know a very good nutritionist. If you need it, I will ask her to give you a period of conditioning." time."

Li Rong smiled: "Thank you Teacher Xiao, I'm recovering pretty well."

After finishing speaking, Li Rong helplessly raised his hand to stroke Cen Xiao's hair, with a hint of comfort in his eyes.

Xiao Muran obviously cared more about him than his own son, all because of Li Qingli.

If Li Qingli could have a successful career and live a happy life, then Xiao Muran would at most feel guilty for the misunderstandings when he was young and the snobbery of his parents, and would not have more emotions.

But Li Qingli is really miserable, and Xiao Muran will never have the chance to say sorry for what happened back then, so she can only repay all her regrets to Li Rong.

But Li Rong knew that in the previous life, Cen Wei's expression of divided feelings towards him was because of Xiao Muran's attitude.

There is no child who does not want to be cared by his parents, and so is Cen Xiao, who was forced to mature early.

And because he loves Cen Xiao, he also feels pity.

Just like now, he would hope that Xiao Muran would also greet Cen Wei.

Cen Wei knew exactly what Li Rong was thinking, he hugged Li Rong's waist, and caressed along Li Rong's waistline, the wet and cool skin made him unable to move his hands away, the sweet mint smell It also slowly invaded his nostrils.

Cen Wei is a very strong person, he does not need and is not used to pity from others, but Li Rong is different.

Li Rong is also very vivid when he shows pity for others, his brows are furrowed, his eyelids are slightly raised, his eyes are looking wet, his lips are also slightly pursed, with the corners of his lips down, as if pity and at the same time complaining for him.

And although he didn't feel sorry for himself, he appreciated the rare beauty in front of him.

Vigorous and intoxicating.

The beauty showing such an expression because of you is itself the greatest comforting agent.

Only then did Xiao Muran belatedly say to Cen Wei: "Cen Wei, don't be too tired from work, you all have to go back to rest early."

Cen Wei grabbed Li Rong's waist, pulled him to the bedroom, then pulled out a towel to cover Li Rong's dripping hair, and asked Xiao Muran by the way: "Did my grandfather say anything?"

Xiao Muran: "Yes."

As soon as Li Rong stopped wiping his hair, Cen Wei also narrowed his eyes: "What's going on?"

Xiao Muran: "Your grandfather said that Zhu Yan did do immoral things when he was young. Few people know about it. He happened to be teaching history at University A that year, and the laboratory teacher at that time told him. But you Grandpa asked me to warn you that there was no internet back then, and the information was not developed. People who knew about this matter were almost old and dead. Time has passed, and there is no evidence left. Just listen to it as a rumor and don’t go out to cause trouble, let alone talk to Zhu. Yan is fighting against each other, if you move Zhu Yan, if you can't move, you will get angry, if you can move, you will hurt the vitality of Hongsuo Research Institute, and you will be devastated."

The Hongsuo Research Institute and the Lanshu United Chamber of Commerce are in a tit-for-tat relationship, with each other balancing each other, which is of far-reaching significance to the sound development of the scientific research industry. Once the power is out of balance, the winning party will inevitably be swallowed up by interests and become a puppet of capital.

Cen Wei frowned: "I'm not interested in turning over Zhu Yan's old account, I just want to know Zhu Yan's weakness."

Only then did Xiao Muran speak eloquently: "Zhu Yan was the dean of a certain college of University A back then. It wasn't called the College of Biochemistry back then, but it was similar. The graduate student he led seemed to have written a great paper, and he wanted to publish it in English. Published internationally, but the graduate student’s English was poor, and his own translation skills were not good enough, so Zhu Yan asked someone to help translate and submit the manuscript. After reading it, Zhu Yan felt that his article was very good, so he helped him translate it himself. Zhu Yan’s English The level is very high, and he is still an expert in the industry. The articles translated by him must be more standardized and appropriate, and the words used are more accurate. But Zhu Yan wrote his name first.”

After hearing this, Li Rong didn't bother to brush his hair anymore, he shook his head with a trace of contempt in his eyes.

With Zhu Yan's operation, the student became the second author. The difference between the first author and the second author is understood by everyone in the scientific research circle.

Even if Zhu Yan's translation is astonishingly talented, it would be unfair to that student.

But a student with a low level of English, living in an era when the Internet is underdeveloped and the industry is not standardized, has almost no way to defend his rights.

Although Cen Wei didn't know as well as Li Rong, he also understood: "Zhu Yan stole the fruits of his students' labor?"

Xiao Muran continued: "To put it bluntly, it is stealing, but to put it mildly, without Zhu Yan's translation, it would be difficult to publish that article, so Zhu Yan felt that he played a decisive role, and as a teacher, students should 'respect' He. You can’t look at problems outside the era, people at that time had different views from people now, and in those days, such things abound.”

Li Rong chuckled: "Now, everyone's views have changed, the industry has become more regulated, and academic ethics has been strictly scrutinized. Looking back on the past, Zhu Yan will not apologize."

Xiao Muran also smiled wryly.

Of course, there will be no apology. Things have passed for so long, and these guilty past should be buried in the soil like marl, never to see the light of day.

"It seems that the student is short-tempered, stubborn, jealous, and doesn't rub the sand in his eyes. He insists on seeking Zhu Yan's theory, the principal's theory, and other students' criticism. In exchange. How could Zhu Yan agree that once this incident broke out, he would be blocked by journal editors and reviewers. Later, there was a leakage of drugs in Zhu Yan’s laboratory and contamination occurred. Someone saw that this student operated it. Yan sent him away without even graduating with a master's degree. After the laboratory was polluted, it was locked, and it was never used after that. It has been abandoned, and no one knows where the student went."

Rusty brass plaques still dangled from the faded walls, and the dark cracked windows were hung layer after layer of dust and cobwebs.

The memories that have been sealed for more than 30 years, together with those rotten tables, chairs and mops, are imprisoned in the narrow bungalow.

It was like an isolated island in A University, with overgrown grass and no one cared about it. If they hadn't rushed in accidentally, no one would have been able to see the blurred word Zhu Yan on the mottled sign.

Li Rong's eyes drooped slightly, and he asked softly, "Did that student really make a mistake?"

Xiao Muran said honestly, "I don't know."

Maybe it was true, after all, the student was impatient and stubborn, and he hated Zhu Yan, and he might ruin the laboratory in a moment of brain fever.

Or maybe it was fake, Zhu Yan felt that keeping people around was always a hidden danger, so he found a reason to send them away.

Cen Ling asked calmly, "What's the name of that student?"

Xiao Muran: "I don't know, he has no name and no surname, and he is absent from everyone. Who would remember his name?"

Cen Wei: "Isn't there an article published that year? Check the year and time, and you can always find it."

Xiao Muran smiled: "Zhu Yan has published too many articles, and has taught too many students. There are even more articles that were not written by him but put him in the front. This is the year, and many things are not standardized. , and everyone has no awareness of cherishing feathers."

Cen Wei didn't give up so easily, he said calmly: "Don't worry, just check slowly, maybe you will find something."

Xiao Muran: "That's all I asked. For many people, it's actually a trivial matter. My dad doesn't like Zhu Yan. It may be because of his cultural integrity. This matter is just for him to use. It’s a good tool to accuse Zhu Yan of being worldly. But I’m sorry, this matter seems to have nothing to do with your parents, your parents both came back from studying abroad, and Zhu Yan was never a teacher or student.”

Li Rong said gratefully: "I know, thank you anyway."

Xiao Muran: "You don't have to thank me, I have no skills. But I still want to remind you to be careful. On the one hand, I think the matter of your parents is very complicated, and on the other hand, I really don't want it to be complicated. If it is true that even Zhu Yan can be involved , then you...there are too many people bound in the chain of interests, they will automatically form an unbreakable group, I am very worried about your safety."

What Xiao Muran said is absolutely correct. In the previous life, Li Rong hadn't even come into contact with the core secrets, and some people couldn't hold back.

Cen Xiao had no optimistic thoughts at all.

This matter must be very complicated, and there must be many people in the interest chain, because Du Mingli spoke of the 'big picture' so righteously before his death.

After hanging up the phone, Li Rong comforted Cen Xiao first.

"Although I still don't know what it has to do with my parents, at least I know Zhu Yan's weakness."

Cen Yan pushed him onto the bed, and covered his bare skin with a quilt: "Let Jian Fu check it out slowly, the most important thing right now is Suhe Biology."

Wrapped in a quilt, Li Rong kicked his calf, kicked off the bath towel tied around his waist, and kicked out the quilt: "Maybe it's my preconceived idea, I always think that student is Zhang Zhaohe, but Zhang Zhaohe's academic achievements these years He didn’t make any achievements, even in class, he read manuscripts in front of PPT, and he was deep-minded and good at attacking the heart, so he didn’t look like the person in the story.”

Cen Xiao grabbed his wet towel, grabbed his slender ankle, and stuffed it back into the quilt.

"If it's really Zhang Zhaohe, what is he trying to do by returning to University A like a waste that even the students don't look down upon?"

Li Rongning brows thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and let the thin quilt slide down her chest: "Our normal thinking is to catch up with Zhu Yan academically, replace Zhu Yan, and then expose the events of the past, so that everyone Outburst yourself."

He is himself, and he wants to make a cure for bacterial progeria, defeating Suhe Biological's Jiaketing.

Li Rong murmured: "Jia Keting is Zheng Zhupan's heart and soul. If I want to take revenge on him, I must start with Jia Keting. But what if Zhu Yan is not most concerned about his academic achievements?"

Cen Wei: "How can a person who has been engaged in scientific research for decades not care about academic achievements?"

Li Rong shook his head slowly, his gaze turned cold: "Zhu Yan is over 70 years old this year, and he has to be supported when he walks, but he has been reluctant to give up the position of director of the Hongsuo Research Institute to Jiang Weide. What I care about is power. If I want to get revenge on him, then I have to make him feel the loss of power and make him a marionette, a puppet."

Cen Wei stretched out his hand and lifted Li Rong's chin, his eyes were calm and gentle: "Baby is so smart, why did you only yell and beat me when you dealt with me?"

Li Rong raised his eyes to look at Cen Xiao's eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, then smiled, and rubbed his chin with Cen Xiao's fingertips: "What do I want me to do, is it possible to cut myself every day?"

Of course he is smart, so he always knew that Cen Xiao cared about him the most, and this was where he was most powerless at the beginning. If he wanted to hurt Cen Xiao, he had to hurt himself.

Cen Xiao snorted softly: "It's not like you haven't done this before."

Li Rong sat up on his knees, stretched out his hand to hook Cen Xiao's neck, and stuck it on, his eyes sparkled: "Yes, I am scheming and cruel, anyway, you will love me."
