In fact, there were clues to the affair between Shen Mingzhou and Su Wanqing.

Every time Su Wanqing called, Shen Mingzhou would avoid answering the phone.

At first, Yan Xuxu thought they were discussing research secrets that were inconvenient for her to know, so she didn't think much of it.

Looking back now, I realize that the two of them had been having an affair behind her back for a long time.

Despite the distance, Yan Xuxu couldn't hear what Shen Mingzhou was saying, but she could tell from his expression that something had happened.

She threw up everything she ate and drank last night, and she didn't eat anything this morning. At this time of day, her stomach is very empty, and she is indeed quite hungry.

She didn't want to upset her stomach, so she picked up a spoon and drank the porridge while thinking about how to retrieve the medical book and the research and development technology.

Before I knew it, I had finished the bowl of porridge.

Just then, Shen Mingzhou hung up the phone and walked towards her, his face showing undisguised anxiety. "Something came up at the company, I have to go back. You get some rest, call me if anything comes up."

He grabbed his suit jacket and hurriedly prepared to leave.

Yan Xuxu called out to him.

"Shen Mingzhou!"

Shen Mingzhou was in a hurry to leave when she called him back. He was getting impatient. "Whatever it is, let's talk about it when I get back, okay?"

Yan Xuxu knew that once he left, he most likely wouldn't be coming back today.

So there are some things she needs to be clear about now.

Who is in charge of this research?

"It was Su Wanqing, along with several senior technicians working together."

Although she had expected it, Yan Xuxu was still deeply hurt.

Ming'an Group's R&D department is full of talented people, and Su Wanqing is not the most outstanding one, but Shen Mingzhou entrusts all the important projects to Su Wanqing.

She had never imagined that Shen Mingzhou would cheat on her or deceive her, nor had she ever questioned his motives. Now it seemed that Shen Mingzhou was paving the way for Su Wanqing.

Now that Su Wanqing is in charge of the new technology, once it is successfully developed, all the credit will go to her.

That would be troublesome!

Perhaps fearing she would cling to the medical book, Shen Mingzhou walked a few steps away, then turned back and said to her, "Take good rest at home these next few days. I'll transfer some money to you later. Go out with some friends, go shopping and have dinner. Don't wait for me if you're working overtime tonight."

The phone in his pocket kept ringing. After finishing his sentence, Shen Mingzhou quickly left.

Something must have happened to Su Wanqing, otherwise Shen Mingzhou wouldn't have been driving so fast; the engine noise could be heard from a great distance.

Su Wanqing may seem to have a good temper, but she is actually a high-profile woman who posts everything on her WeChat Moments.

Yan Xuxu opened WeChat and, sure enough, there was a post from her.

There was a car accident.

At that moment, a transfer notification popped up on WeChat.

Six zeros in total.

Shen Mingzhou has always been very generous when it comes to money.

Whenever I upset her, I use this trick to coax her.

Yan Xuxu accepted it without hesitation, since she wouldn't receive any compensation if their fake marriage fell apart.

She dedicated five years of her life to Shen Mingzhou and the Shen family business; she deserves even more!

Lin Huan called at that moment.

"Xuxu, I'm right outside your door, come out for a second."

*

A red Cayenne was parked outside the villa. A woman dressed casually leaned against the car door, her hair all pulled back, looking capable and mature.

Seeing Yan Xuxu come out, Lin Huan took a few steps closer.

"The Civil Affairs Bureau is keeping a tight rein on your relationship with Shen Mingzhou and won't reveal anything about it. I suspect they've already been bribed by Shen Mingzhou and had someone hack into the Civil Affairs Bureau's information system."

"As expected, you and Shen Mingzhou are not married. As for whose identity information he used to register your marriage, the file is encrypted and still being deciphered. I will let you know as soon as I have any news."

Yan Xuxu smiled with gratitude, "Thank you, Huanhuan, for making a special trip even when you're so busy."

Seeing her like this, Lin Huan knew that she must have had a bad night. She wanted to comfort her, but was afraid of aggravating her wounds, so she swallowed the words she was about to say and changed the subject.

"A very important person specifically requested to see you, and I just happened to be passing by the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"Who?"

"Xie Lanyuan, the person in charge of the Xie Group!"

Yan Xuxu suddenly remembered what the person in charge of the Xie family project had said last night.

Suddenly I understood something.

Lin Huan continued, "He's in our research institute. He even said that if you want to cooperate, you can come and we can discuss it."

Yan Xuxu was startled again.

Her identity has always been kept secret.

Even Shen Mingzhou thought she was just an ordinary medical student, unaware that she was actually Xie Sheng's most prized last student, the chief pharmacologist.

During her university years, she and Professor Xie participated in the development of vaccines for several major viruses and also participated in several high-intensity clinical heart surgeries, for which she won an award from the National Science and Technology Major Project.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lanyuan knew her identity.

But she didn't remember knowing Xie Lanyuan.

Her understanding of him was limited to snippets of information she had heard from outsiders. Even during the six months of negotiations, it was the project manager from the Xie family who had been in contact with her; she had never actually met Xie Lanyuan.

It is said that this young master of the Xie family was separated from his family when he was a child and was only reunited with his ancestors five years ago.

With few descendants in the Xie family, Xie Lanyuan became the sole heir to the Xie Group.

Since taking over the Xie family business, he has established a firm foothold in the business world with his decisive and efficient methods. In just a few years, he has propelled the Xie Group into the ranks of the world's top 100 companies.

The identity of this mysterious young master still piqued Yan Xuxu's interest.

"I'll go back with you."

Forty minutes later, Yan Xuxu arrived at the research institute.

As a nationally valued scientific research base, the institute brings together talents from all over the world.

Professor Xie used to be here, leading everyone in various medical research. After Professor Xie retired, the research institute was handed over to Yan Xuxu. After Yan Xuxu left, Lin Huan helped manage it.

Yan Xuxu was Professor Xie's most outstanding student. In addition to being extremely talented, she was also very hardworking. Her successful research projects paved the way for her fame.

Therefore, everyone at the research institute greatly admires Yan Xuxu.

Upon learning that Yan Xuxu was coming back, a group of people stood guard at the door to welcome her.

"Boss, you've finally come back! We've all missed you so much! Don't leave again this time. The research institute needs you, and we need you too."

Looking at the familiar faces, scenes of doing research here in the past flashed through my mind.

Her throat tightened, and she gave a forced laugh. "Okay, I won't leave."

"There will be plenty of time to catch up later. Let's go see Jie Lanyuan first. My phone has been ringing off the hook."

Lin Huan shook her phone helplessly. The screen showed a call from Xie Lanyuan's assistant.

Because Lin Huan still had work to do, after taking Yan Xuxu to the rest room, she went into the laboratory.

Yan Xuxu stood at the door and knocked twice casually.

"Enter."

A deep, resonant voice reached her, and Yan Xuxu's hand, which was about to be lowered, froze in mid-air.

Was it just her imagination?

Why does this voice sound familiar?

Filled with doubt, she slowly pushed open the door. For some reason, as the gap in the door widened, an inexplicable sense of tension lingered in her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Soon, the figure inside came into view.

Yan Xuxu's pupils suddenly contracted, and she froze on the spot, completely out of control!
