Chapter 855: Grandpa 332, Security Bureau_3 Chapter 855: Grandpa 332, Security Bureau_3 “Yes,” the elder uncle no longer cared about glorifying his ancestors or that Bai Lian was the nationally recognized top scholar he had longed for. “She was already expelled from the family tree; you must quickly report this to the authorities.”
Just before this incident happened, the elder uncle had regretted letting Bai Lian leave.
Now, however, he was relieved that they had the foresight to remove Bai Lian from the family tree early on.
“This approach won’t do,” Guo Yueqing lowered her eyes, “Qiming, we should issue a news release to clearly state our position and that we have long severed ties with her.”
Bai Qiming realized the situation and imdiately had his assistant handle the public announcent.
Within an hour, the Bai Family found a reporter to release the news and clearly delineated their separation from Bai Lian.
Even so, the Bai Family’s business was still affected, and several projects were halted.
**
The Xu Family was also undergoing investigations.
Many of Xu En’s projects were halted, which he had his assistant monitor closely. He was more concerned about Bai Lian’s current situation than these projects.
He didn’t know where Bai Lian was, and she didn’t answer her phone either.
He then called Wenyao.
Wenyao had ranked first in the written test and in the retest, earning a position as a graduate student under Director Huang. He hadn’t boasted about this to anyone else and was still following up on an important project with Director Huang.
He usually didn’t et with outsiders.
Upon receiving Xu En’s call, he was startled, “Dad, wait a mont, I’ll go find my teacher.”
After hanging up, Xu En thought for a mont before grabbing his keys and heading to Shanhai Apartnt.
Shanhai Apartnt.
Today, Ning Xiao was not there, but Pu Xiaohan and Zhang Shize were in apartnt 103 accompanying Ji Heng.
Pu Xiaohan was holding a cara, taking pictures of Ji Heng’s treasured fabrics in the yard, “Grandpa, are these Cloud Brocade?”
A piece of Cloud Brocade, as valuable as gold.
Under the sunlight, they shimred brilliantly.
“Yes,” Ji Heng held his pipe, looking at the fabrics, “There’s quite a bit left. I’ll make a set of clothes for you and Alian.”
“Wedding clothes?” Zhang Shize asked as he texted Ning Xiao.
Ji Heng glanced at Zhang Shize but didn’t object.
Soone rang the doorbell. Pu Xiaohan continued taking shots, directing Zhang Shize to move the boxes for her.
Ji Heng, holding his pipe, went to open the door.
“Dad,” as Xu En entered and saw Ji Heng’s calm deanor, he felt relieved, but still asked, “Where is Alian? Why isn’t her phone going through? Is she busy with so research again?”
It was typical for Bai Lian to be busy with research.
She often disappeared for a week at a ti.
Ji Heng was used to this, as Bai Lian had often studied late into the night, returning only at eleven since high school.
Even before college, she worked on research with Wenyao and then went abroad for further studies, sotis gone for over a month.
Ji Heng didn’t care much about the initial part of the conversation until a particular phrase caught his attention; he stopped, holding his pipe, and looked up, “Her phone is out of service?”
The day Zhang Shize invited him for dinner, Bai Lian had ssaged Ji Heng.
She had ntioned being busy for a few days.
Ji Heng took out his mobile phone to call Bai Lian.
In the yard, upon hearing Xu En’s words, Pu Xiaohan and Zhang Shize sensed trouble. They had not had the chance to stop Xu En, and now they both set down what they were holding, looking at each other with concern.
Bai Lian’s phone was still off.
Ji Heng set down his pipe, looking towards Pu Xiaohan and Zhang Shize, “Xiaohan?”
Pu Xiaohan, after a brief contemplation—knowing that Ji Heng would find out sooner or later—briefly explained the situation, although she did not know the specifics, only that Bai Lian was at the Security Bureau.
Ji Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice calm as he turned and walked towards the room, “The Security Bureau?”
