The Ji Family Interfered, I Want to Talk to Her Alone

Ji Ziyin stepped forward and smiled at Qiao Nian. “After I saw your group’s ‘super algorithm’ during the group assessment, I vaguely remembered seeing it somewhere. Later on, I went online to search and happened to find a similar post. I asked that person, and that person told me that ‘he’ didn’t entrust this algorithm to anyone else.”

As she spoke slowly, she stared at the girl’s reaction, wanting to catch some clues from her face.

However, Qiao Nian was extremely cold the entire time, as if she had ignored her words.

After she finished speaking, she smiled ambiguously and asked, “Are you sure ‘he’ told you personally?”

Ji Ziyin frowned and was about to speak when Ji Hongyuan suddenly placed the cup on the table and said politely to the few laboratory heads, “I’m sorry, can I talk to her alone?”

He was referring to Qiao Nian.

Everyone was shocked by his actions.

No one understood why Ji Hongyuan suddenly wanted to talk to an unrelated person alone. Even Zhou Zhou was stunned. She turned to look at Qiao Nian.

However, Qiao Nian did not say anything to her this time. She only pursed her lips tightly, her eyes cold and impatient.

…

Given Ji Hongyuan’s seniority and his status as a member of the Ji family, the heads of the laboratories still had to give him some face.

After he spoke, everyone filed out and gave him space to talk to Qiao Nian alone.

Ji Ziyin was the last. Before she left, she even sized up the girl’s face with her sharp eyes. No one knew what she was thinking before she left.

When everyone had left.

Ji Hongyuan slowly said, “Do you know how serious the First Research Institute’s treatment of plagiarism is? You’ll be chased out.”

“Oh.” The girl was nonchalant as if she didn’t care. She leaned back in her seat, her hands still in her pockets. Ji Hongyuan was so angry that his blood almost surged again. Fortunately, he held it in and stared at the girl with snake-like eyes. He did not waste his breath on her and explained the purpose of his visit concisely.

“I can make Ji Ziyin stop here and let it go. But the prerequisite is that you return to the Ji family!

“If you’re still unwilling to return, I might as well tell you my stance,” he said unhurriedly. “My stance is very clear. If you’re unwilling to return, I don’t mind destroying your talent and dreams.

“The Ji family can tolerate the direct descendants wandering outside, but they can’t allow others to use them!”

Especially Qiao Nian’s talent in black gunpowder.

He would never allow such a genius to be used by others!

Since they couldn’t have it, they might as well destroy it.

This was the Ji family’s principle!

Qiao Nian had already guessed what he wanted to say to her when he said he wanted to talk to her alone. However, she was successfully provoked this time.

She looked at Ji Hongyuan and asked calmly, “So you treated my mother like this back then?”

Ji Hongyuan’s expression suddenly changed. He suddenly looked at her as if he was looking at a ferocious beast. “Where… where did you hear about your mother?”

He thought of something and the warmth in his eyes dissipated. “So you insisted on entering the First Research Institute to investigate your mother?”
