Nie Chao: “…”

The matter fermented into the second day, and Old Master Xiu also found out.

Because Xiu Corporation’s stock had begun to fall, and several TV stations were broadcasting reports about it.

Imperial Capital Daily Report even gave the Xiu Family face, dedicating a special section to them.

Old Master Xiu was furious, his hand clutching the wheelchair handle turning pale: “Who leaked this?!”

The butler, with his head lowered, wiped his sweat: “It should be from Venus Corporation’s side, we sent people to suppress the trending search, but we couldn’t keep it down.”

The Xiu Family was strong, but indeed they couldn’t compare with Venus Corporation.

Old Master Xiu took a deep breath and called Xiu Yan, who was hiding in the room, over with a cold voice, “I have spoken to your mother, and she will take you out of the country right now. The Xiu Family has several properties in the southern part of O continent; you will leave this afternoon and don’t let me see either of you in this country again.”

His brother, he was still to stay.

How could such a big Xiu Family possibly let Xiu Yu, a mere girl, inherit everything?

The idea of favoring males over females was deeply ingrained in Old Master Xiu’s mind, and could not be shaken.

Unless, Xiu Shaoning could come back.

But the Xiu Family had also sent people to look for Xiu Shaoning up to now, and there was still no news.

Hearing this, Xiu Yan’s expression instantly changed: “Go abroad? No way, I–”
“Shut up,” Old Master Xiu said impatiently. “Isn’t it all because of you? Why did you have to provoke Ying Zijin? Why did you have to boast to Xiu Yu, couldn’t you just behave?”

“I paved the way for you, and you don’t even know how to walk it. Are you crippled?!”

Xiu Yan bit her lip hard.

When she provoked Ying Zijin, Ying Zijin was just a foster daughter cast out by the Ying Family; how could she have foreseen a day like today?

The current Ying Zijin was someone she could not provoke.

Neither could the Xiu Family.

“Butler,” Old Master Xiu no longer looked at Xiu Yan, losing patience even more, “keep a close eye on her.”

“Yes,” the butler’s attitude towards Xiu Yan also changed immediately, no longer as respectful as before, “Miss Xiu Yan, please.”

Xiu Yan’s face went pale as she followed the butler out and ran into Xiu Yu and Xiu Shaowan, who were returning from outside.

Both noticed her, and even without any condescension in their eyes, they made Xiu Yan feel embarrassed.

She pursed her lips, not daring to boast this time, and with her head down, she left quickly, like a dog that had lost its home.

Xiu Yu touched her chin and clicked her tongue: “Auntie, look, all my effort was in vain.”

She had meticulously designed a plan, but Xiu Yan had ruined it for herself.

It was also because Old Master Xiu was heartless enough.

“Don’t worry about it,” Xiu Shaowan patted her shoulder and sighed, “Auntie will go with you to practice driving. Once you place in this F1 race, even if Old Master is reluctant, he will have to hand over all his actual power to you.”

The Xiu Family was also divided into several factions, and not all of them supported Old Master Xiu.

They still placed great importance on lineage–a bastard couldn’t inherit the Xiu Family.

It’s just that currently, Xiu Yu had just returned and didn’t have enough strength to make them support her.

Xiu Yu nodded: “Understood, let’s go.”

Three days later.

Ji Family.

Ji Yiyuan, who had been embarrassed at the Xiu Family, had been fuming for the past few days.

And this morning, he heard news from the Inner Court that Ji Yihang’s experiment was going smoothly and was one step away from completion.

Whereas he was still stuck at the third-to-last step, unable to get past it.

Ji Yiyuan knew that if he lost to Ji Yihang in the competition for this experimental project, getting rid of Ji Yihang afterward would not be so easy.

Moreover, this experiment was Rank A with a total of 3000 Merit Points, he really couldn’t bear to just give them away.

“Bad luck!” Ji Yiyuan slammed the table heavily, his gaze chilling, “It’s true that blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.”

He had to think of a way to make Ji Yihang’s experiment fail.

“Dad.” Beside him, Ji Yundong spoke up, “I just called Professor Yan, and he said not to worry about this matter, that Ji Yihang definitely won’t be able to complete the experiment.”

Ji Yiyuan frowned, “How so?”

“Didn’t Ji Li offend Professor Yan?” Ji Yundong smiled, “Professor Yan directly had someone block off all the material supply channels for their few laboratories.”

“Ji Yihang took leave from the lab today to buy materials for the final step, and now that their channels are gone, where can they get materials from? Without materials, how can they conduct experiments?”

They truly deserved it.

“Is that so?” Ji Yiyuan hadn’t expected this, but he started to feel better, “Very good, you must learn well from Miss Yan. I’ve heard that next year Manuel’s lab is still recruiting, perhaps Miss Yan could recommend you.”

Ji Yundong nodded, “Dad, but what about Venus Corporation?”

“It’s good that we’ve cut ties with the Xiu Family.” Ji Yiyuan was very relieved, “Venus Corporation only said they wouldn’t cooperate with the Xiu Family. We still have a chance, just wait.”

Once they take down the Ji Family, they would start aiming for the international summit.

On the other hand.

Ji Yihang returned home and began to purchase new experimental materials.

He picked up the landline and dialed the material center.

The call was quickly connected.

Ji Yihang began, “Hello, my name is Ji Yihang. I have already submitted the list of experimental materials. I need it urgently, so I need the material center to approve it as soon as possible.”

“Please hold on a moment.” The staff member checked on the computer, paused, “Mr. Ji Yihang, is your laboratory code B69?”

Ji Yihang nodded, “Yes, B69. I need these experimental materials.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Ji Yihang,” the staff member apologized, “I just checked, and this laboratory code is currently on the gray list, and we can’t sell any experimental materials to you.”

“The gray list?” Ji Yihang’s expression changed, “What’s going on?”

A laboratory on the gray list, unless there was some major experimental accident or it was used for some illegitimate black experiments harmful to international interests, would only then be included on the gray list.

His lab’s Rank had just been upgraded this year, and they had done nothing illegal; they ought to have more privileges, so why was it suddenly blocked?

Once international channels were cut, it would be impossible to buy experimental materials.

If he wanted the Inner Court to order experimental materials for them, he’d have to exchange Merit Points.

Or, they could be awarded materials directly by the Inner Court for achieving some honor.

But exchanging for materials with Merit Points would consume too many points.

Not to mention Ji Yihang, even Yan Ruoxue couldn’t sustain this type of exchange for long.

Competition within the Ji Family was such, everything depended on one’s own strength and connections.

“Sorry, we are not authorized to inform you about this,” the staff member said, “Mr. Ji Yihang, do you have any other laboratories?”

Ji Yihang reported another two, “C98 and C105.”

After a dozen or so seconds, the staff member had a response, “Mr. Ji Yihang, these two laboratory codes are also on the gray list.”

They were also on it?! Ji Yihang sat there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long while.

All three laboratories being on the gray list meant they were being targeted.

Seeing that no voice was coming through, the staff member spoke again, “We have many matters to attend to, so if there’s nothing else, we’ll end the call here.”

Ji Yihang’s voice was strained, “Alright, I…”

At that moment, a pale white hand took the phone from him.

Ji Yihang looked up, startled.

“S07.” Ying Zijin pressed the phone, indifferently, “We’ll use the laboratory code S07.”
