Chapter 230: Chapter 230: The Biological Kinship between Han Xianglan and Wu Xiucai is Invalid

Wu Peng was just about to stand up when the door to the study room opened, and behind the bodyguard stood a doctor in a white coat—Doctor Lu, who had been brought back from M country.

Doctor Lu respectfully handed the identification report to Wu Xiujie.

Wu Xiujie couldn’t understand the data and threw it to his son, then he asked Doctor Lu, "Just tell me the result directly."

"According to the DNA test results, Han Xianglan and Wu Xiucai have no biological kinship."

Wu Xiujie understood this statement. He frowned slightly—not yet, they still had to keep searching.

Though he claimed not to be obsessed with the wealth raised by his stepmother, he urgently needed the shares of the technology corporation held by Wu Xiucai.

The technology corporation was completely controlled solely by Wu Xiucai.

Except for his trusted associates, no one else could intervene.

The company had laboratories and the biotechnology information he needed.

He knew though others didn’t that this company had actually established a branch in Huaxia, just hidden away by Wu Xiucai and some others.

He still hadn’t figured it out.

Doctor Lu stood in front of him with a slight bow, very respectfully and with his head lowered; his demeanor was very respectful, and his eyes hidden behind his glasses also didn’t reveal what he was thinking.

Wu Xiujie knew that Doctor Lu was very useful, and spoke kindly, "Go and rest a bit, you’ve been working tirelessly these days, it’s been hard on you."

"Sir, it’s my duty."

After saying this, Doctor Lu turned and left.

Wu Peng also put down the report, "What a pity, we’ve exerted so much effort and time, and yet it’s a false lead."

"If she’s fake, then there must be a real one. We can’t take this lightly."

"Father, maybe this little cousin has long passed away. Think about it, could a child survive being thrown into a heap of refugees during the years of war?"

Wu Xiujie didn’t utter a word, fell silent for a while, then knocked on the table, "Let’s go to Xichuan."

He had very important matters to attend to, and he didn’t know yet how Huang Sha had arranged things.

In a conference room in Xichuan, Lu Ye, although his expression was calm, clenched his hands tightly on the table as he struggled to maintain his composure.

He was waiting for Professor Dong, who had returned from M country, to finish speaking.

"...So that’s all I have to say. This barley grass is a mutated strain. Your research facilities lack the technical capabilities to detect it, and I have our country’s best interests at heart, so I hope it can be eradicated soon. I will provide superior barley seeds, and of course, if there aren’t enough workers, I can supply you with a free herbicide..."

The few people sitting at the long conference table all looked displeased since being criticized directly by an agricultural technology expert from M country isn’t pleasant for anyone.

Lu Ye looked up at Professor Dong, his voice smooth yet very firm, "Professor Dong, your proposal also lacks scientific basis. Who can prove that your assessment is correct?"

Professor Dong’s face turned grim, "Mr. Lu, are you questioning my academic level?"

"I think those who demand rigor in academia should likewise demand it of themselves and must accept different viewpoints," replied Lu Ye, neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I am confident in my abilities; I just don’t understand why you are so adamantly disagreeing. Do you have some hidden trouble you can’t discuss? If that’s the case, I’m afraid I can’t help, but ultimately, this is Xichuan’s own matter and none of my concern."

Lu Ye’s expression remained calm as he glanced over the several-related personnel seated; maybe they weren’t yet aware of the importance of barley grass, or perhaps in their view, it was just grassland that could be cleared, and after all, isn’t planting trees better than grass?

Why was he so insistent?

That was because Qiao Qingyu also disagreed.

But he couldn’t let others see his motives.

"Professor Dong, we’re discussing barley grass, please don’t resort to personal attacks."

Professor Dong shrugged arrogantly, "If you don’t like hearing the truth, forget it. That’s a common fault among Huaxia people, always beating around the bush."

"Alright, Professor Dong, we understand your point, but the reports from our Beijing research institutions have their authority too. I think we could observe for another year."

The senior leader, sitting on the chair, prepared to close the discussion.

"I am also a persistent person. If it cannot be done as I said, I am prepared to leave Xichuan."

"Professor Dong, the work here has just started, you can’t leave."

Some people started to worry.

Although Professor Dong was arrogant, he had rich experience in windbreak and sand-fixation, not to mention, he was also responsible for the technical guidance of a million saplings, and also had a large amount of funding. He was a representative of Mr. Wu, and even Secretary Chang was very polite when meeting him.

There was no helping it, Xichuan was just too poor.

Professor Dong picked up the portfolio on the table, glanced coldly at Lu Ye, and got up from his chair, striding out of the conference room.

A moment of brief silence followed in the conference room. Lu Ye looked towards the senior leader, his voice somewhat hoarse, "Don’t you find it a bit strange, senior leader? Why is he so insistent on removing the barley grass?"

"Didn’t he say it? It’s a mutated strain."

"But our research institutions have already verified it, and there’s no issue."

"But we are indeed behind them after all."

"I admit we are behind in some aspects, but the Beijing Research Center wouldn’t make a mistake; I trust them!"

Following that, Lu Ye also stood up and said firmly, "I’m going to Tenghai Research Base to find Chief Engineer He."

He actually didn’t want to go; every time he saw He Xiuyu, it frustrated him, but he had to go.

The senior leader thought for a moment, "Okay, off you go."

At Tenghai Research Base, Old Xie hung up the phone, looking rather troubled. After thinking, he decided to find He Xiuyu.

"Chief Engineer He, you know about Professor Dong from M country, don’t you?"

"Yes."

"He just called me to say that our barley grass is a mutated strain and he hopes it will be eradicated immediately; otherwise, it could lead to unimaginable consequences."

"Does he have any theoretical basis?" asked He Xiuyu leisurely.

"He has the most authoritative testing and research reports."

He Xiuyu curled his lips, "Don’t mind him."

That was exactly what Director Xie was waiting to hear, relieved, he walked away happily.

Lu Ye arrived in the afternoon; after He Xiuyu had a detailed understanding of the matter, he and Lu Ye went to Xichuan.

He Xiuyu brought along Professor Feng; he wasn’t very knowledgeable about agricultural technology, but the questions he asked were all to the point.

Professor Feng was a very serious man, so he also studied the barley grass at the base very seriously, including the thousand silk hemp from Xiaxi Commune.
