Prof Zhao walked into the room.

There was a huge commotion happening in Qi Huis office. A teacher who was aware of the close ties between Prof Zhao and Huo Yao pondered before heading upstairs to tell Prof Zhao about the situation.

What happened? Zhao Lian came in and glanced at Qi Hui before looking at Huo Yao, Liu Qian, and Jiang Mingyue.

Qi Hui did not expect Prof Zhao to come over, so he was stunned.

He was not alone. Jiang Mingyue was standing beside him and was equally shocked. She had only seen Prof Zhao two to three times in total. Even though she did not even dare to raise her head and look him in the eye, she could not help feeling excited.

After Qi Hui composed himself, he greeted Prof Zhao reverently. He paused before he told Zhao Lian about his leaked research files without wasting any time.

He naturally told him about how Huo Yao and Liu Qian stole his research files.

Zhao Lian shook his head without the slightest hesitation and said, Then you must be mistaken. Huo Yao could have never done that.

The moment Zhao Lian defended Huo Yao, Liu Qian went speechless.

What was the meaning of this? Was he implying only Huo Yao was the innocent party here?

Qi Hui was clearly hurling most of the accusations at him. Why did Prof Zhao feel Huo Yao was the only person who needed defending?

Qi Huis eyes instantly turned dim when he heard what Prof Zhao said. He knew Zhao Lian had invited Huo Yao to join the department, so they must be pretty close.

He was blatantly taking Huo Yaos side. Wasnt he worried about ruining his reputation?

Qi Hui felt indignant, but he did not dare to say it out loud. He simply said, We have to investigate the matter.

He paused briefly when a thought crossed his mind and changed the subject. Huo Yao, can you explain what you were doing at the medical laboratory? After all, you do not belong to the department. Isnt it inappropriate for you to go there?

The moment he finished his sentence, Zhao Lians eyes instantly lit up.

From the looks of it, Huo Yao was well-versed not only in the computation of data, but she was also medically trained.

Huo Yao did not notice Prof Zhaos expression. She simply looked sideways at Qi Hui and answered calmly without even stopping to wonder why Qi Hui knew she had accessed the laboratory. I submitted a permission slip to use it. Is something wrong?

You are in the Bioinformatics division, what business do you have in the medical laboratory? asked Qi Hui deeply as he looked at her.

Are there any rules against students from other departments accessing the laboratories? asked Huo Yao rhetorically.

No. However, I suspect you were Qi Hui frowned as he spoke. Before he could finish his sentence, someone interrupted him.

Enough, Mr. Qi. I really dont see any problem if someone wants to learn more. Zhao Lian spoke in his usual serious tone before glancing at Qi Hui.

Qi Hui squeezed his hands slightly before letting go. He turned to look at Liu Qian and said, Fine. In that case, I will drop it. I simply have to say one last time. I dont care if you have touched my archives. All the files in the archives are confidential material. Do you think it is appropriate for you to randomly share them with a student?

He pointed at the file in Liu Qians hands as he spoke.

Liu Qian pursed his lips when he noticed Qi Hui harping on the matter yet again and said, I dont see anything wrong with letting students see past year projects. Moreover, we are going to start a new experiment soon. Whats wrong with showing the students some old research archives?

The moment Qi Hui heard Liu Qian bringing up new research, he hastily raised his head and said sarcastically without even bothering to pick on Liu Qian, What research project worthy of experiment could you possibly have?
