Chapter 121: First Day at Work (3)

Normally, Cheng Yi couldn't take on two cases at the same time. This was unless his original case had reached a bottleneck or required a long time to process events.
After a pause, Cheng Yi replied, "However, the situation has changed."
"What? Why can't you finish your sentence?! Don't stammer through your sentences and make me guess!"
Cheng Yi turned around and looked at Jian Yiling, "The situation has changed because of Jian Yiling."
Jian Yiling returned his look. She was also confused as to why he had said that.
Cheng Yi replied with a smile, "The case I'm working on will end early. With the help and guidance that you provided, at most, I'll need a few days to finish up. After that, I can take on the new case."
Although Jian Yiling hadn't officially been at the research institution for the past few days, she had been continuously communicating with other researchers. The researcher that communicated with her the most was Cheng Yi.
Almost 99% of their conversation revolved around Cheng Yi's project.
On this project, Jian Yiling gave him a lot of guidance and advice. Cheng Yi had learned a lot from her.
Jian Yiling's eyes fell back to her own computer screen.

According to the original plot of the novel, Qin Chuan would eventually return to the Qin family. Later, he would also become enemies with Zhai Yunsheng.
If the plot remained the same, then Zhai Yunsheng, the villain of the original novel would be destined for failure. He wouldn't be able to escape his imminent death. However, Jian Yiling was not clear on how Zhai Yunsheng had died in the novel. Regardless of how he died, Jian Yiling knew that he didn't have a good outcome waiting for him.
However, Jian Yiling remembered Zhai Yunsheng's kind acts. Although she wasn't sure of the intentions behind his actions, it was a concrete fact that he had already helped her several times.
Jian Yiling raised her head again and said to Cheng Yi, "I'll help you with the case that you're on right now. Then we can take on the new case together."
Cheng Yi thought about it for a moment before he replied, "If you help me with the case I'm currently on, I can definitely take on the other case. However, didn't you say that you had other things to do this month? Don't make yourself work too hard."
"I'm fine."
She could try to squeeze out time to study the case.
When Luo Xiuen heard what Jian Yiling said, she hurriedly added, "Yiling, you need to be careful of boys. You're still young. Some boys are used to sweet-talking and lying to young girls. You must not listen to their words! Don't be fooled by their appearance!"
Luo Xiuen was worried that Jian Yiling might have a crush on her so-called 'tutor'.
As a person who had experienced many things in her life, Luo Xiuen understood the reasons why Qin Chuan could attract young girls.
Most of the people in the institution used their brains purely for academic purposes. They weren't very good at other things. As a result, they could easily be tricked.

Jian Yiling shook her head and replied, "I'm not doing this for him."
Jian Yiling knew that she didn't make this decision for Qin Chuan's sake.
She didn't even want Qin Chuan to know that she was involved in this matter.
However, she would demand repayment from Qin Chuan. It's just that the repayment wouldn't be in the form of money. But rather, it'd be a promise.
From reading the original novel, Jian Yiling knew that Qin Chuan was a man who kept his promises.
"Really?" Luo Xiuen had to confirm the situation with Jian Yiling.
"Yeah," Jian Yiling replied. Her eyes showed that she was certain about her words.
"Okay, that's good then." Luo Xiuen was afraid that the gem of their institution would be kidnapped by some random brat. She didn't want that to happen.
However, when it came to what cases that Jian Yiling wanted to take on, that was her choice.
After their conversation ended, Jian Yiling and Cheng Yi discussed the specific arrangements for the two projects.
Then, Cheng Yi confirmed that he was taking on Qin Chuan's mother's case.

Once Cheng Yi accepted the case, the staff of the research institution contacted Qin Chuan and the hospital where Qin Chuan's mother was hospitalized.
At this time, Qin Chuan was sitting on the bus. He had just left the research institution.
When he received the call, he was stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Qin, are you listening?"
"Ahh, yes. Please go ahead." Qin Chuan replied. He quickly regained his train of thought. His emotions made his voice quiver a little.
"We need to transfer your mother over to our institution. Please arrange the documents for the patient's transfer and related surgery to be completed as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand."
"Mr. Qin, do you have any other questions? If not, we'll contact you again once your mother is transferred over."
"May I ask a question?"
"Please go ahead."

"Why did you suddenly agree to take on my mother's case?"
"My apologies. I can not answer that question. I'm only in charge of contacting you. As for why we took on your mother's case, that was decided by the researchers at our institution. As a result, I don't have an answer to your question."
"I understand. Thank you."
After he hung up the phone, Qin Chuan couldn't help but wonder why the institution suddenly agreed to take on his mother's case.
As he thought about this question, an image floated into his mind. It was the scene where he had met Jian Yiling at the entrance of the institution.
However, Qin Chuan couldn't figure out the connection between the two events.
The Huiling Medical Research Institution didn't oblige to any financial groups. Even the Jian and Yu families could not influence the arrangements inside the institution.
If that was the case, then how would Jian Yiling be able to influence the institution's decisions?
###
On Monday, Jian Yiling went to school as usual.
As soon as she arrived in the classroom, she noticed that Hu Jiaojiao looked incredibly nervous.

"Yiling, it's doomed. It's so so so doomed... The results for the monthly exams are coming out today!" Hu Jiaojiao cried out. This was a tragedy for her.
When she hadn't received her results, Hu Jiaojiao could lie to herself. She could tell herself that everything was okay. However, once she received her results, she had to face reality.
Hu Jiaojiao continued to cry and complain for a long period of time. However, she still couldn't avoid the inevitable.
The exam papers were handed out, one by one.
Hu Jiaojiao's heart wept as she saw her marks. She had failed every subject.
"The wind and snow are cold... My heart is tired and dead..."
Hu Jiaojiao howled out in grief as she collapsed onto her desk.
After howling for a while, she mentally cheered herself up and turned around to look at Jian Yiling's papers.
Mathematics: 90 out of 150

She had managed to scrape a pass in her subjects. No more, no less.
However, she had managed to not fail! A pass was a pass! It didn't matter how close it was!
Hu Jiaojiao was quite surprised and envious at the same time: "Yiling, who did you pray to before the exam? How did you manage to pass every single subject?"
Before the exam, Hu Jiaojiao had told Jian Yiling to try her best to pass every single exam.
However, she hadn't expected Jian Yiling to actually pass.
Furthermore, all her marks had just scraped past the finishing line.
"You told me to try my best to pass," Jian Yiling replied.
"Uh..." Hu Jiaojiao started before she trailed off. She realized that she couldn't say anything else.

She had indeed said that. She said that they should have aspirations and goals! What if some deities from above saw their pleads and helped them achieve a pass?
However, the deities had helped Jian Yiling and not her!
Hu Jiaojiao's heart ached even more.
Then, Hu Jiaojiao took a look at Jian Yiling's marks once again. She had scored 96 in Chinese! It was 6 marks higher than the score they needed to pass.
That subject had been Jian Yiling's only mistake. She had been able to accurately estimate her results for science and maths. However, she hadn't been able to estimate her results for Chinese.

Jian Yiling had assumed that she wouldn't have gotten a lot of points from her essay. However, the teacher had given her twenty points for 'hard work and a good attempt'.
Furthermore, she had assumed that she had answered all the reading comprehension questions correctly. However, she achieved zero marks in that section.
Hu Jiaojiao just happened to see Jian Yiling's answers for reading comprehension.
The moment she saw Jian Yiling's answers, her expression went stiff.
Question: In the second to last paragraph, why did the main protagonist's eyes turn red?
Jian Yiling's answer: When the blood vessels in the membrane surrounding the eyeball and sclera get irritated, they may become red. This sort of irritation/bleeding can cause the white parts surrounding the pupil to change in color.

Question: What do you think about the phrase: "The tips of his fingers became white as he grasped tightly onto his umbrella. Suddenly, he felt that autumn was nearing."?
Jian Yiling's answer: He has poor blood circulation. Poor blood circulation will lead to insufficient blood flow to the extremities of one's body. However, usually, this doesn't require any special treatment. Remember to keep warm and avoid any strenuous exercise.

Hu Jiaojiao was so impressed and confused by Jian Yiling's answers. She couldn't help but stare at her paper.
Jian Yiling's train of thoughts... How strange!
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
At that moment, a member of the student committee walked over. It was Liu Wen, she came over and said to Hu Jiaojiao, "It seems that you're actually about to go home and collect rent."

Out of nine subjects, Hu Jiaojiao had once again failed six.
Hu Jiaojiao took a deep breath before replying, "Sister Wen, please don't say that. I'll have to face the wrath of my mother when I get home... Ahhh... It's all my fault. She's going to be so mad..."
Liu Wen paused for a moment. She decided to let Hu Jiaojiao go this time. Then she turned around to speak to Jian Yiling, "Jian Yiling, you've made great progress this time. Keep up the good work! Aim for a good score next time as well. Feel free to tell me if you need my notes."
This time, Jian Yiling had successfully passed all her exams. She had made a significant improvement from her previous exams. As such, she had officially graduated from the group of failing students in Class 8.
However, Liu Wen's attitude towards Jian Yiling hadn't changed. She kept up the cold and arrogant demeanor of a top student. Her attitude would only change if Jian Yiling's academic performance improved.
As for the bustling rumors on the school forum, Liu Wen had never cared for them. Those posts never affected her judgment of Jian Yiling's character.
All of a sudden, Hu Jiaojiao got up. She was ready to be hardworking again, "Sister Wen, I want your notes as well! If Yiling can pass, I'll try my best to pass as well! You guys can't abandon me! I don't want to be the only one stuck in this abyss of failure!"
Liu Wen replied, "You better go and hire a tutor. I heard that Yiling recently got a tutor. It seems to be working quite well."
"I'm not sure about that. Yiling told me that she hated her tutor! I don't think his teaching would be effective if it's like that!"
Hu Jiaojiao had asked Jian Yiling that question two days ago.

While Hu Jiaojiao and Liu Wen were talking, a message suddenly popped up on Jian Yiling's phone:
[Dr. F.S, we discovered something regarding the matter you're investigating. Do you want to exchange something with us?]
The last time that Jian Yiling was in trouble, the other party had tried contacting her. However, she had refused their offer.
It was also proven that she didn't need their help at that point in time.
She had also set clear conditions. If they found what she was looking for, she would consider the other party's requests.
[The surveillance?]
[Yes. However, we haven't gotten our hands onto it yet. The only thing that we can confirm is that the memory card is in He Yan's hands. However, she hasn't destroyed it yet.]
[Source?]
[We found the person who was responsible for the surveillance at Heyunshan Resort. He was bribed by He Yan. He just confessed everything.]

The other party that contacted Jian Yiling sent her a video. The video encompassed the confession of the person in charge of the surveillance at Heyunshan Resort.
Jian Yiling put on her earphones to listen to the man's confession.
It was mentioned that He Yan had given him a large sum of money and told him to leave Hengyuan City immediately after the event. She had also asked him to delete all his contact records with her.
He Yan had been incredibly cautious with the way she handled things. As a result, there were very few clues and trails that could be followed.
Jian Yiling saved the video to her phone.
After a short pause, Jian Yiling replied: [I'll agree to your request. However, I want that person as well.]
Jian Yiling had agreed to the other party's conditions. However, first, she had to receive the content that she requested. Just the whereabouts of the surveillance was not sufficient.
[No problem. We will keep an eye on him. He won't have a chance to escape from Hengyuan City again. Furthermore, we'll get the surveillance for you as soon as possible.]
Compared to Jian Yiling, the other party seemed more concerned about the progress of this matter.
[Okay.] Jian Yiling replied.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
[By the way, aside from us, there was someone else who was also looking for this man.]
The other party didn't decide to withhold any information from Jian Yiling.
[Who is it?]
[As of now, we don't know who it is. However, we're sure that it's someone from Hengyuan City.]
[Okay, I understand. Thank you for letting me know.]
From this information, Jian Yiling realized that aside from her, there was someone else that was also trying to track down the person who was in charge of the surveillance at Heyunshan Resort.
However, as of now, Jian Yiling didn't know the other party's identity and objective.
Soon after Jian Yiling finished sending messages, Hu Jiaojiao leaned over and pulled at Jian Yiling's sleeve:
"Yiling, there's another post on the forum! It's quite popular as well!"
Jian Yiling didn't really visit the school forums in her spare time. However, Hu Jiaojiao would look at the posts from time to time.
If she saw something interesting or exciting, she would tell Jian Yiling immediately.

Jian Yiling opened the app for their school forum. The most popular posts were related to Mo Shiyun.
Title: [The Goddess's Father Turns Out to Be a Hoodlum. Currently Causing a Scene at School]
The person had uploaded several pictures. In the photo, there was a man that was thin and dressed poorly. If one were to take a look at the photo, they could immediately sense that he was trouble.
However, if they were to judge from his facial features alone, the man wasn't ugly. There were also some similarities in facial features between him and Mo Shiyun.
However, the man was dressed incredibly poorly and did not behave in a respectable fashion.
In the photos, the man first argued with the school's security guards. Then, he went to argue with the school's management. In the last photo, he was arguing with Mo Shiyun.
However, due to the static nature of the photos, everyone could only see the expression and actions of the people involved. They couldn't figure out what was being said.
Jian Yiling had read the original novel. In the novel, Mo Shiyun's father, He Jianjun was a despicable man. Other than his appearance, the rest of him reeked of one word... Lowlife. He never engaged with any honest work. After he cheated on his wife, he had also abandoned his wife and daughter.
All in all, he was a terrible person. However, when Jian Yiling had read the original novel, he had appeared later in the novel. It was around the time when Mo Shiyun had graduated from university and entered society.
In the original novel, Qin Chuan didn't dislike Mo Shiyun for having such a father. Rather, he felt even more sorry for her.
Eventually, Qin Chuan had brutally dealt with He Jianjun. After that had happened, he never dared to appear in front of Mo Shiyun again.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
However, as of now, Mo Shiyun was only seventeen years old. In the original novel, He Jianjun never appeared during this timeframe.
For that reason, Jian Yiling didn't know why He Jianjun had come to see Mo Shiyun.

Jian Yiling took a look at the comments below the post.
[What's going on? Is this really her father? Could this be a mistake?]
[Yeah... I think it's a mistake. Isn't Mo Shiyun's father running a business somewhere? This man doesn't appear to look like a businessman at all.]
[I think so as well. It's probably a mistake. I've seen Mo Shiyun at the party hosted by the Yu family. I'd assume that her family holds some status. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten invited, right? The person who made this post probably made a mistake...]
[I also think that. The temperaments of our goddess Mo Shiyun and that man are totally different. It's not alike at all.]
Mo Shiyun always gave a good impression in front of her classmates and teachers. When this news suddenly came out, it was difficult for everyone to believe it.
Right now, it was meant to be individual study time for the class of high achievers that were in their final year.
Mo Shiyun had just returned from talking to the Head of Teaching at his office.
Everyone looked at her curiously.
Mo Shiyun hung her head down and quietly returned to her seat.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Zhu Sha hurried over and asked in a low voice, "Shiyun, what's happening? Is that man really your father?"
Mo Shiyun was stunned, "What?"
Mo Shiyun didn't know that what she had just experienced had been posted onto the school forum.
When Zhu Sha heard Mo Shiyun's response, she quickly clarified her question: "That middle-aged man on the school forum at the moment. Is he your father? I'd assume he isn't. If that's the case, you should go online and explain the situation to everyone."
Mo Shiyun's pupils dilated in shock.
She quickly took out her phone and opened the school forum. She took a glance at the top post on the forum.
After she opened the post, she saw a picture of her father. Her father, He Jianjun, had caused a scene at the school today.
As Mo Shiyun looked at the photos, her mood immediately plummeted.
Before today, she didn't know much about her father. The only thing that she knew was that he was a jerk and a bastard of a man.
She didn't know the reason why this man, who had disappeared for more than ten years in her life, had suddenly shown up at her school today.
As a result, she was dumbfounded when she got called to the Head of Teaching's office.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocusHow Long Should I Keep My Car?USAATake on a Challenge: Make Pasta Al Limone at HomeBlue Apron
In the past ten years, this was the first time that he had shown up in her life. It had been ten years since she had seen him. He had made a scene at her school because he had recently discovered the cost of her tuition fees.
He Jianjun had just found out how costly his daughter's tuition fees were. As a result, he came to school to accuse them of charging arbitrary fees.
The management of the school had a headache from dealing with such a person.
Shenghua High School was a private school. As a result, their tuition was a bit more expensive than a normal public school.
However, the prices and costs were clearly marked. They weren't charging so-called 'arbitrary' fees.
Mo Shiyun was already in an incredibly depressed mood. On the way back to the classroom, she had tried very hard to convince herself to not think about the situation again.
However, she had received another shock once she returned to her classroom. This came like a bolt from the blue.
She came to the realization that almost everyone knew about this matter. It wasn't just the Head of Teaching that knew. After it got posted onto the school forum, the whole school had found out about it.
"What's happening? That person isn't your father right?" Zhu Sha asked anxiously.
She had never heard Mo Shiyun mention her father.
However, if she were to judge from Mo Shiyun's usual mannerisms and the way she handled herself, it seemed like Mo Shiyun came from a well off family.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Mo Shiyun didn't know how to answer Zhu Sha's question.
She knew that this man was her father. She knew that she should acknowledge their relationship. No matter what she did, she could not erase the blood ties between them.
However, she wanted to deny this fact as well. She didn't want to admit to having a bastard as a father.
Being associated with that man made her feel sick.
