The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress-Chapter 882: Shocked You Xinzheng 347_2
Chapter 882: Shocked You Xinzheng 347_2
"Do you know him?" Ma Jiren glanced over.
A foreigner.
"Yes, a man from the Dawson Family, now the representative in Asia," Gao Yi had asked many people for rare metals during the New Year and attended several dinners. He had some understanding of the Dawson Family’s upper echelon, "What is he doing here?"
Opportunities like this were to be seized, not missed.
Gao Yi quickly went over to greet Harald Dawson.
"Manager Haer," barely anyone from the academic circles present recognized Harald Dawson. Gao Yi directly handed over his business card, "I’m Gao Yi, we’ve met before at the auction."
He introduced himself to Harald Dawson.
Then he introduced Ma Jiren beside him, "Mr. Andy was also here today, are you here to find Mr. Andy?"
Harald Dawson, a member of the Dawson Family, had traded goods with the sea water purification project and had a brief acquaintance with Academician Ma.
He had come specially today to pay respects to Academician Ma.
"Andy?" His deep blue eyes only puzzledly gazed at Gao Yi, not recognizing him. After trying hard for a moment, he finally remembered Andy, "He was here today too."
Today.
You Xinzheng, Huang Yushuo, Bai Lian, Ma Jiren, and even Gao Yi were all protagonists. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Seeing Gao Yi talking happily to a foreigner while accompanied by Ma Jiren, most people glanced over, knowing that the foreigner’s identity must be anything but simple.
But...
The next second, as Harald Dawson saw Mao Kun and Ning Xiao, he politely bid farewell to Gao Yi, "I’m here to find Young Master Mao and Miss Bai. We’ll meet again when there’s a chance."
Wang Youfeng knew that Bai Lian still needed time, not to mention Harald Dawson.
Bai Lian had been busy. Wang Youfeng had wanted to make a few deals with her for a type of health product, but he couldn’t find her. So, he stationed Harald in Asia to keep an eye on Bai Lian’s free time as well.
"Professor You..." Bai Lian saw Harald Dawson coming and began to introduce him to You Xinzheng and Dean Huang.
You Xinzheng interrupted her, "You should call me Senior Brother."
The statement was neither light nor heavy, but most people heard it.
"Senior Brother," Bai Lian didn’t fuss over it and turned to introduce, "This is Manager Haer."
You Xinzheng normally focused on research and didn’t recognize Harald, but he had seen Gao Yi’s previous treatment towards Harald.
He thanked the other party for coming.
In the yard, Gao Yi stared blankly at the scene.
His mind sparked with ideas, and he suddenly remembered the several tons of iridium the Mu Family had surprisingly put forth a short while ago!
He had guessed for a long time but hadn’t heard any news about the transaction from the Mu Family, and it had never crossed his mind to consider Bai Lian—after all, at the time, he hadn’t taken Bai Lian seriously.
Seeing Bai Lian casually introducing Harald Dawson to You Xinzheng, with both even exchanging contact information, Gao Yi’s expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly remembered Zhou Wenqing, whom they had tried to meet many times.
"Jiachen," Gao Yi took out his phone and called Gao Jiachen, "Before Zhou Wenqing became the deputy dean, he led a group from Tongfeng class. Who was in that group of students? Was Bai Lian among them?"
Gao Jiachen remembered clearly, "Yes."
Gao Yi hung up the phone, standing in place, unable to recover.
The sun shone glaringly overhead, and for a moment, he swayed, remembered the call from Gao Shu, and felt a chill down his spine.

Gao Yi left the memorial service with heavy steps.
The Gao Family’s car was parked not far from the memorial service.
The driver opened the rear car door.
Gao Yi approached the car door.
Just then, a black business car smoothly came to a stop in front of the memorial service, an ordinary model.
Gao Yi recognized the car, and he knew the license plate number by heart. Seeing that number, he seemed somewhat bewildered.
A tall, robust man got out from the passenger seat.
Standing by the rear door.
The rear car door opened automatically.
A tall figure stepped out, clad in black, his complexion looking even more pale and indifferent in the light, his forehead hair slightly scattered. He slowly turned to glance calmly at Gao Yi.
Those were narrow phoenix eyes, light-colored pupils revealing no hint of emotion.
An inherent air of distinguished coldness.
However, Gao Yi broke out in a cold sweat, maintaining the posture of bending over to enter the back seat.
Large beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
They dripped down one by one, tracing a path over his temples to his neck.
In the thirty-odd degrees of heat, his spine felt chillingly cold.
Beside him, the assistant took quite a while to come back to his senses, "Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao... was that... was that Master Jiang?"
**
At the memorial service.
Jiang Fulai didn’t greet Bai Lian, nor did he greet anyone else present.
He just reached out for three sticks of incense and bowed deeply to pay his respects to Scholar Ma.
The entire venue fell silent, quietly watching him, automatically dispelling the recent rumors about his coma.
The gentleman of high pedigree paid his tribute to Scholar Ma and then left.
It wasn’t until two minutes after he had left the memorial service that the people at the venue dared to breathe heavily.
"Old Huang," a professor who knew Director Huang well regained his composure, looking toward the entrance, "this... the relationship between Director Xiang and the Gao Family..."
It’s likely come to an end, hasn’t it?
Director Huang shook his head, about to make a sarcastic comment when something suddenly came to mind.
"Junior Sister, Little Junior Sister! Quick! Your family!" His expression changed as he remembered the situation with the Xiang family.
The memorial service was almost over anyway.
You Xinzheng snapped to his senses at that moment, urgently urging Bai Lian, "Quickly go to your place!"
"What’s the rush?" Mao Kun took out his car keys.
Bai Lian went to get Scholar Ma’s computer, also surprised by the reactions of You Xinzheng and Director Huang.
"This Ma Family has a complicated background. He pushed out many professors from the Academy of Sciences in the past," You Xinzheng said with a grave face, "using shady methods, he is the leading figure in Jiangjing..."
It was only then that Bai Lian began to understand, she might have protection, but her family did not.
"I see." Bai Lian boarded You Xinzheng’s van and simply nodded in agreement.
Both You Xinzheng and Huang Yushuo were anxious.
Huang Yushuo especially so.
Repeatedly urging the driver to drive faster.
They were both in Chang’an District.
There wasn’t any traffic congestion at this time.
They soon arrived at Shanhai Apartment, Building 5 was packed with silver vans, belonging to a local Jiangjing brand.
"Her grandfather lives here?" You Xinzheng’s heart skipped a beat seeing the scene.
Huang Yushuo had been here more than once and was also startled. He leaped out before the car could fully stop, "This is the place, she lives in 303, her grandfather in 103. Brother, you contact someone first."
Huang Yushuo’s fingers trembled slightly as he jogged to the door of 103.
He pounded on the door forcefully.
Bai Lian followed leisurely with the two men, slowly discussing Wang Youfeng’s case with Mao Kun.
Up ahead.
You Xinzheng trembled as he dialed the phone, calling someone from a special department he knew.
The call connected.
The door to 103 was also opened.
Lance, with a layer of flour on his face and a piece of dough in hand, greeted them. "Are you guys here to make dumplings?"
As he spoke, he stepped aside to let them in.
Perfectly timed, they could see the usual mahjong table in the living room now surrounded by a group of burly men sitting obediently.
Each of them held a piece of dough, clumsily trying to learn how to make dumplings.
"Hello?" The stern voice of an officer sounded through You Xinzheng’s phone, "Professor You, where did you say there’s a violent incident? We’re ready to deploy!"
You Xinzheng: "..."
