Chapter 196: Chapter 196 Because She’s a Fairy

Jiu Yanchuan said to her, "I’m going to see my third brother and was hoping to catch a ride with you, sister-in-law."

"Didn’t you drive here yourself?"

Shi Yaoguang asked, puzzled, not understanding why he suddenly wanted to hitch a ride with her.

Jiu Yanchuan replied, "My car was sent for repairs, would you mind taking me, sister-in-law?"

Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "Sure, let’s go."

In the car, Jiu Yanchuan kept glancing at her with what he believed to be a subtle look.

Seeing that he meant no harm, Shi Yaoguang didn’t inquire further.

It wasn’t until they were more than halfway there that he couldn’t resist speaking up.

"Sister-in-law, have you really been living in the countryside all these years?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "Yeah, is there a problem?"

"Where did you learn all these skills then?"

The question Jiu Yanchuan asked was one many people were curious about.

Logically, the educational resources in the countryside couldn’t compare to those in Mingzhu City.

Unless there had been some extraordinary encounter.

Like meeting some reclusive expert, for instance.

However, such people usually left their names behind in public.

It was impossible for such a master to take on a disciple without any news spreading.

Before Shi Yaoguang was taken back by the Shi Family at the age of seventeen, she was as quiet as a mouse, to the extent that no one would have noticed her.

Yet, such a person never failed to surprise everyone, how could it not be astonishing?

Hearing his question, Shi Yaoguang’s eyes flickered, and she said faintly, "Well, that’s a long story..."

"Hm? Do you really have some extraordinary experience, sister-in-law?"

"Sort of..." Shi Yaoguang shook her head, "My life changed on an utterly ordinary night."

"Ah?"

"Before that, I was just an average country girl with no special talents or abilities, the only thing I could be proud of was my good looks."

Jiu Yanchuan twitched at the corner of his mouth, "Does one praise themselves like that?"

Shi Yaoguang countered, "Am I not pretty enough?"

"You are, you are," Jiu Yanchuan immediately reassured her.

If Shi Yaoguang’s stunning beauty wasn’t enough, then nobody could be considered beautiful.

Only then did Shi Yaoguang continue, "That night, I dreamed of a celestial palace and saw immortals there."

Jiu Yanchuan: "..."

"The immortal told me, I was actually a celestial being who had descended to the mortal world to experience trials."

As Shi Yaoguang spoke, her tone carried a hint of resignation, "Ever since I had that dream, I’ve been able to learn things incredibly fast, as if the governor and conception vessels within me had been opened.

Unfortunately, such experiences are serendipitous and can’t be sought after. You probably won’t have the chance to encounter them in this lifetime, let alone replicate my path to success."

Jiu Yanchuan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Sister-in-law, even if you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to make up such a story, right?"

Shi Yaoguang clicked her tongue, "See, see? I tell you what you want to know, but you’re the one who doesn’t want to believe it. What can I do?"

Jiu Yanchuan held his forehead; such talk was only good for fooling children. He was a staunch materialist.

He didn’t know just how steadfast he was at the moment, and how completely shattered his worldview would be in the future.

...

Quan Mansion.

"Third Brother!"

As soon as Jiu Yanchuan got out of the car, he dashed upstairs without saying another word and burst into Quan Jinbei’s study.

Quan Jinbei looked at his flustered state with some helplessness, "Do you have to be like this?"

"Nonsense!" Jiu Yanchuan stared at him eagerly, "Tell me, did you crack Professor Lin’s biological experiment conditions? Let me see it quickly!"

Seeing his urgency, Quan Jinbei stopped teasing and took out the documents from the drawer.

Jiu Yanchuan looked pained, "Such important documents, and you just leave them lying around here? What if someone steals them? Even if they aren’t stolen, what if someone sees them?"

Quan Jinbei listened to him ramble on and couldn’t help but give him a sideways glance, "We already know what needs to be done next. What could possibly happen if the stuff gets stolen? Besides... do you think anyone could break into Quan Mansion without my permission?"

At those words, Jiu Yanchuan slapped his forehead, "I’m being too nervous, the security here at Third Brother’s place is absolutely guaranteed."

After speaking, he picked up the documents and looked through them.

He didn’t look at the process, since he wasn’t a biology student and wouldn’t understand it even if he did.

He flipped directly to the section where the results were written.

After seeing the answer, he furrowed his brow.

"Is there a problem?" Quan Jinbei raised an eyebrow.

Jiu Yanchuan hesitated before nodding, "Professor Lin had mentioned to me that the answer should be..."

He paused, hesitating to speak further, "This answer doesn’t seem quite right."

"..."

Quan Jinbei coughed lightly, "Whether this answer can be used, why don’t you go ask Professor Lin?"

"Ah..."

Jiu Yanchuan appeared hesitant, "This answer really doesn’t match what Professor Lin said, in case..."

Quan Jinbei gave him a sidelong glance, stating confidently and unequivocally, "Do you think my people would lack even this bit of capability?"

Jiu Yanchuan smiled, "I certainly trust in your ability, Third Brother, but..."

"If you trust me, then let’s wait until Professor Lin has seen it before discussing further."

Jiu Yanchuan nodded, "Alright."

After a bit more conversation, Jiu Yanchuan suggested that it was time for him to leave.

Once he had left, Quan Jinbei then said to Shi Yaoguang, "Yanchuan just compared the answers and mentioned they don’t match Professor Lin’s expectations."

"Hm..." Shi Yaoguang puffed out her cheeks thoughtfully, "The answer he mentioned has been simplified into a process by me. With this method, we should be able to reduce the difficulty of the experiment."

After speaking, she paused and then asked, "Who’s this Professor Lin you speak of?"

"And... Captain Jiu came to you just for the biological research data, right? I asked you before if your company developed some biotechnology, and you didn’t deny it."

"Professor Lin is the main researcher, and I also invested in the experimental phase..."

Quan Jinbei gave a simple explanation.

Shi Yaoguang seemed to be thinking deeply, "So, Professor Lin is quite an important figure."

"Indeed," Quan Jinbei confirmed.

She thought for a moment, then continued to inquire, "The reason Captain Jiu went back to Ruihe High School to serve as a police officer was also to protect him, right?"

"Correct."

Shi Yaoguang stroked her chin, curious, "For someone like Professor Lin, who must be highly valued by those above, he could surely obtain approval for a separate laboratory if he wished to conduct his research. Why would he choose to be at Ruihe High School?"

"I’m not quite sure either, perhaps as a precaution against political enemies," Quan Jinbei shared his guess, "Professor Lin’s research, whether for the group or the individual, is beneficial. Once quantified, it can completely become a profitable avenue."

"Some things, if released, can benefit society, but if kept as a political achievement, their value can diminish greatly. Professor Lin stayed at Ruihe High School to continue his research to prevent such things from happening."

Shi Yaoguang nodded in understanding, then said to him, "If that’s Professor Lin’s intention, should he encounter any issues, he can ask someone to find me."
