Chapter 610: Chapter 609: What if she didn’t steal it?

Xin Yuelu stumbled back several steps, unable to accept it.

She suddenly remembered what Lu Mian had said, “You shouldn’t have done this,” which wasn’t Lu Mian’s attempt at consolation but a warning to her, Xin Yuelu.

For once the Netherman was exposed, it meant she’d fall from her pedestal!

Lu Mian had said, “As you wish,” but this wasn’t the outcome she desired.

Not at all!

Pan Jiancheng’s words instantaneously elevated Lu Mian to an unprecedented height.

People worship the strong, submitting to them, as it is in their nature.

Hence, the ones who had just been clamoring to catch the thief with evidence in hand were now looking up to Lu Mian with the utmost reverence, casting soul-searching questions.

“Miss Lu, how did you manage to do it?”

“Please teach us, Miss Lu!”

“Can you explain what exactly happened, Miss Lu?

Haven’t you just arrived here a few days ago?”

The crowd was shocked yet again.

Having succeeded in just a few days, what face did they, who had spent two years without success, have left to even breathe?

Lu Mian’s voice was faint, offering a rather perfunctory explanation.

“As you can see, I noticed that the Netherman you were cultivating wasn’t growing well, so I tried a different method.

And then…

I accidentally succeeded.”

Accidentally…

Were these four words meant to stab in the hearts of everyone present?

In this place, where everyone had at least a master’s degree, their diligently researched project had been bested by a little girl’s “accident.”

How infuriating!

“No wonder Mr.

Xiao decided to withdraw the funding for the cultivation team’s project, not because the team had offended someone, but because the true success didn’t belong to Group Leader Yuelu, but to Miss Lu.”

That statement hit too close to home.

Xin Yuelu couldn’t describe the feeling of injustice and humiliation that welled up from the bottom of her heart.

“I originally thought it was Group Leader Xin who had succeeded in the research, and I even praised her for so long…”

“How embarrassing, such a big blunder!”

Xin Yuelu was nearly at a loss for face.

She had naturally assumed that she was the successful one and reveled in that glory.

She had boasted so much, spoken so many theories, and even shamelessly approached Mr.

Xiao for special funding.

But the truth was, she wasn’t the greatest winner; she had become the biggest joke.

Her face burned fiercely, and whenever she felt someone’s gaze upon her, she thought they were mocking her.

The prouder she had been before, the more embarrassed she felt now.

With her head hung low, Xin Yuelu, unaware of others watching, wiped the tear that had formed at the corner of her eye.

This action was caught by Pu Zongyang, who felt extremely uncomfortable, and even more heartache for his teacher, who had become an unheeded failure.

She had worked hard to cultivate the Netherman, but Lu Mian had brazenly interfered, snatching away the fruits of victory.

“What’s so great about that!

Her setup is clearly modified from the base our cultivation team developed.

Without her, our team could have eventually figured it out!”

Dong Li sneered, and in his panic, he was ready to lash out.

Sure enough, Pu Zongyang protested indignantly.

“Don’t forget, she’s a thief!

Even if she succeeded, she still stole from the lab!

What’s there to praise!”

“…”

Indeed, the lab had strict rules that no experimental subjects or equipment were allowed to leave.

Strictly speaking, Lu Mian’s actions were tantamount to stealing scientific achievements, which was very serious.

Everyone blinked their starry eyes at Lu Mian while defending her.

“Miss Lu didn’t keep any secrets; ultimately, she did give the sample to the medical team.”

“Yeah, I think it would be outrageous if she had secretly taken the Netherman.

But right now she’s just researching in her own way, she’s not claiming it as her own.”

Pu Zongyang’s voice was louder, more assertive, “But she could have applied to work in the laboratory, why did she have to steal things?”

“If she wanted to enter the lab, it probably wouldn’t have been easy.

Besides, we certainly wouldn’t trust her…

I think her quietly conducting the research is actually the most sensible approach.”

“Right, now that the truth is out, the priority is to have Miss Lu reveal the secret for us!

We need to start using the correct method of cultivating the Netherman immediately!”

“Yes, that’s the real issue at hand.”

Nobody cared whether Lu Mian had stolen the Netherman or not; they were more concerned with what mysterious method she had used to achieve such great success.

They were also curious about the previous incident with Aunt Fang’s injury.

“Miss Lu, look, your Netherman is wilting!”

Someone reminded Lu Mian.

Lu Mian looked down and saw the Netherman, which had been moved out of the equipment, was indeed showing some changes.

She didn’t want to tangle with these people anymore and immediately played her trump card.

“I need to deal with this pot of Netherman, please leave.

.co

If this drags on, it will die.”

The crowd panicked immediately; this plant was a treasured asset, the hope of the whole farm!

“Go, go, let’s hurry up and leave!”

“Let Miss Lu handle it quickly!”

The crowd quickly dispersed, and Xin Yuelu and Pu Zongyang also walked out of the room with heavy steps.

Watching Lu Mian’s equipment, Xiao Qimo hesitated and did not leave.

Lu Mian, busy with the Netherman and without raising her head, merely said lightly, “Director Qimo, please go out first.”

“You…” The cultured man slowly pocketed his hands in his pants, seemingly with much to say.

“Later, I will explain it to you.”

Only after receiving such a promise from Lu Mian did Xiao Qimo start to walk away, even taking the initiative to close the door for her.

“Mr.

Xiao!”

Xin Yuelu, who was at the back, took a deep breath when she saw Xiao Qimo come out, as if she had finally retrieved her soul.

The crowd saw that she had something to say and slowed their steps.

Xin Yuelu moved a little closer to Xiao Qimo.

“Mr.

Xiao, I cannot accept this explanation.

I cultivated the Netherman myself; to me, they are not just experimental subjects, but my children.

I can’t overlook the fact that she’s a thief just because Lu Mian taught ‘my children’ well.”

She was still fixated on this issue.

Truly, she wouldn’t give up until all hope was lost.

Xiao Qimo narrowed his eyes at her, “What if she didn’t steal them?”

Xin Yuelu gave a pained smile, “I knew it, you would definitely make excuses for her.

Since that’s your answer, then I think there’s no place for me in this lab anymore.”

Pu Zongyang panicked, “Teacher, are you leaving?”

“It’s not that I want to leave, but I can’t accept this explanation.

At least so far, I haven’t even heard an apology.”

Xiao Qimo glanced at Xin Yuelu.

Uncle Pan opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t persuade her with anything.

The other researchers, at least being colleagues, tried to reason with her.

“Group Leader Yuelu, it’s not worth it.

You are a backbone member of the lab, and your contributions to this project are evident to all.”

“Yeah, Group Leader Yuelu, don’t be impulsive.

Both you and Miss Lu are working for the sake of the experiment, right?”

Xin Yuelu turned her face away, resolute in her attitude.

Just then, a stranger squeezed into the crowd from behind.

With a notebook in hand, the newcomer kept shouting, “Excuse me, excuse me.”
