1417: Chapter 688: You Must Talk About the Evidence 1417: Chapter 688: You Must Talk About the Evidence In the office on River Heart Island, upon hearing Yan Fei’s conclusive words, Xiaohu couldn’t help but glance over at Old Hu.
Initially reluctant to speak, Old Hu, seeing this, felt compelled to speak up, “Then we’ll have to trouble Boss Yan; although we don’t believe you were responsible for the incident, we still need to follow procedures.
It’s also to help you clear your na.
Don’t worry, we’re only going to ask a few questions; it won’t affect your employees or that Professor Qi you ntioned.”
“That’s fine.” Yan Fei replied briskly.
“Two researchers were up all night and had just caught a bit of sleep; I’ll have soone call them over.
As for Professor Qi, how about you two take the trouble to join in going out to look for him?
We’ll see where the old man has gone.”
Before Xiaohu and Old Hu could respond, Yan Fei continued to explain, “Don’t get wrong, but Professor Qi’s status is a bit unique.
He isn’t one of my factory workers; he is a professor from the Agricultural University who has made significant contributions to the field of wheat breeding and now even holds an academician title.
He is just here to enjoy his retirent; I really can’t bother him just because of my little issue.”
Xiaohu and Old Hu were montarily dumbfounded.
We just ca to ask a few questions and follow procedures, but this witness…
has quite an imposing background?
Old Hu responded more quickly, “Then we just need to see your two employees; we won’t bother Professor Qi.”
It was genuinely out of reluctance to trouble him; not to ntion Old Hu’s rank as a squad leader, even if higher-ranking officials or even the chief secretary in charge ca, they would carefully consider whether it was worth bothering an elderly man who had made notable contributions just over this minor matter.
Honestly, if a chief secretary did show up, the proper thing to do would be to visit the old man and take the opportunity to pay respects.
As for questioning and witnessing, wherever it should be done can be figured out, but if it causes any discomfort to the elderly, no one could bear that responsibility.
While sending soone to call Liu JinXue and Yang Hongqi, Yan Fei took out the article he had written the previous night and showed off to Lin Baoguo who was listening quietly beside him, “Uncle Baoguo, see if the novel I wrote is any good?”
Lin Baoguo took it with resignation and skimd through it, “What is this ssy stuff?
A person reincarnated into ancient tis to beco a crocodile?
What are you thinking about every day?
And you’ve written quite a lot, twenty or thirty pages, tens of thousands of words, right?
Let Captain Hu see this too; these characters look quite recent…”
Yan Fei looked disdainful, “Saying you’re uncultured, right?
Even Professor Qi said it was good, yet you call it ssy?”
I knew you had ulterior motives!
Right in front of his peers, Lin Baoguo felt frustrated but couldn’t do anything.
You know I don’t understand these things, yet you still make read it?
Are you setting up to fail?
After taking over the article, Old Hu and Xiaohu, upon hearing Yan Fei’s words, both looked over it ‘seriously,’ then Xiaohu complinted, “This story is quite engaging, Boss Yan is really talented!”
Old Hu, on the other hand, widened his eyes as he struggled to find words, “Boss Yan’s handwriting is really good…”
He felt quite vexed inside – if I had a higher level of education, would I still just be a squad leader after all these years?
I get a headache even looking at docunts during investigations; asking to read this, isn’t that torture?
Fortunately, Yang Hongqi and Liu JinXue arrived soon after, and Xiaohu and Old Hu, having been repeatedly provoked by Yan Fei, didn’t bother to look for a more appropriate setting and directly asked in front of Yan Fei, “Was Boss Yan with you in the laboratory all last night?”
“What happened?
Did sothing occur?” Yang and Liu, who had slept in till noon, hadn’t fully woken up when they heard the question and unconsciously responded with a counter-question before realizing they should answer, “Yes, yes, the three of us were in the laboratory all night.
We worked on earthworm breeding and there are records in the lab, down to the exact minute and second; do you need to take a look, I can go and fetch them?”
Xiaohu, cautious by nature, asked another question, “Was Boss Yan also participating in the experints with you?”
“He started by helping out, then he got busy with his own stuff, writing,” answered Liu JinXue as his eyes glanced at the docunts on the table.
“These ones here, I haven’t looked at them closely, but he was always writing.
Just this morning, Professor Qi ca by early and praised him heavily…”
By then, Old Hu and Xiaohu exchanged looks and stood up together, “Alright, we consider this investigation completed.
It’s proven that what happened early this morning indeed has nothing to do with Boss Yan.
Sorry for the inconvenience.”
Yan Fei was very polite, “Not at all.
If you hadn’t co, I wouldn’t have known about the great news of Old Zeng getting beaten!
It’s alti now, you’re not familiar with the area, and I presu you couldn’t find a place to eat, so please stay and have a al here!
Don’t decline; you’ve seen the construction site outside, we just have a communal al, have a bite, so you don’t have to go out and look for a place.”
True to his word, it was a communal al, but they didn’t eat with the workers; instead, they went back to the cattle farm to have their al.
After dining, Lin Baoguo didn’t leave with Old Hu and Xiaohu but instead took Chief Accountant Xiang back ho for a visit with the children, while Yan Fei continued on his path of diligent study.
Old Hu and Xiaohu managed to find so ti before dinner to report back to Provincial City about their findings; hearing that not only were there witnesses in Sancha River township but also a distinguished old professor who could testify, they imdiately cleared Boss Yan of any suspicions.
