56: Aftermath

Su Zhengqing was still frowning when a call came in.

Seeing the incoming call, he immediately turned off the TV.

It was his direct superior calling.

The Dean of the Great Xia General Affairs Academy.

"Hello, Leader!"

"Old Su, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but there are some questions I need to clarify with you."

"It's alright, Leader. Which research project do you want to ask about? I'll check the material and tell you."

Su Zhengqing got up, ready to go to his room.

"Oh, no, I wanted to ask about what happened today at your Vicious Beast Research Institute."

Hearing this, Su Zhengqing's heart sank, his brows furrowed instantly, and he asked tentatively,

"Leader, are you referring to the matter with Ye Liuyun?"

"Yes. Is Director Su next to you? Please ask her to speak with me."

Hearing this, Su Zhengqing's expression gradually became serious.

The Leader calling him at this hour and asking his daughter to take the call implicitly meant that he didn't believe what Su Zhengqing had said.

"Alright, Leader, I'll go upstairs and call her."

Su Zhengqing went upstairs and knocked on Su Qingwan's door.

"Dad, can you please stop talking to me about Wu Xunyuan!" Su Qingwan pushed open the door, her face full of displeasure.

Other people's fathers cared about their daughters' feelings, but her father cared about outsiders' feelings!

"It's not about that. Dean Zhang of the General Affairs Academy wants to ask you something." Su Zhengqing's old face flushed, and he gave Su Qingwan a reproachful look.

"Hahahaha, Little Su, if your father forces you, you can tell me.

I'll back you up!"

Listening to the voice on the phone, Su Qingwan's face also felt slightly warm, and she quickly took the phone.

"Hello, Dean. I was just joking with my dad. Please excuse me."

"Hahahaha, it's alright. I wanted to ask about what happened today at your Vicious Beast Research Institute."

Hearing this, Su Qingwan was stunned for a moment.

Then the other side spoke again.

"It's mainly about Staff Officer Ye from Headquarters."

After regaining her composure, Su Qingwan described everything she had seen in detail.

Beside her, Su Zhengqing sighed inwardly, knowing that Wu Xunyuan was finished, and he couldn't protect him anymore.

Su Zhengqing had already guessed the meaning of this call.

After Su Qingwan finished speaking, Dean Zhang on the phone was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, I understand the situation. Old Su, are you still there?"

"Yes, please speak."

Su Zhengqing took the phone and responded.

"Transfer this Wu Xunyuan to the action team of the Fourth-level Research Institute."

"Old Leader, this..."

Su Zhengqing's expression changed.

The Fourth-level Research Institute was a basic research institute established in a county, and it had no action team at all!

"Old Su, I know your relationship with Wu Yunhu, but let this matter be. From a logical perspective, he was at fault first.

Because of this matter, the higher-ups of National Martial Arts University, the higher-ups of the Eastern Front, Chief Ning of Lu Province, and Commander Wang of the Northern Front have all inquired.

Although they didn't say anything, Old Su, you should understand. Just issue the appointment tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone hung up directly.

Su Zhengqing's face froze.

This Dean was already displeased with him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have this attitude.

Beside him, Su Qingwan's pretty face was full of shock.

She didn't expect this matter to be so serious!

It actually alarmed so many leaders, any one of whom had a higher position than Su Zhengqing.

"Dad, our Fourth-level Research Institute doesn't have an action team," Su Qingwan asked, puzzled.

Su Zhengqing shook his head and let out a long sigh.

As the Dean of the General Affairs Academy, who oversaw all research institutes nationwide, how could he not know?

He was just choosing a pleasant way to say it.

"The higher-ups mean for Wu Xunyuan to voluntarily apply to leave.

This Little Wu!" Su Zhengqing's brows were tightly furrowed. The higher-ups' emphasis on Ye Liuyun was too much.

"Dad, Ye Liuyun..." Su Qingwan's eyes couldn't hide her shock. That guy actually had such ability and influence!

Su Zhengqing didn't speak and turned to go downstairs. If his guess was correct, Ye Liuyun had probably already been internally designated by Headquarters.

Wu Xunyuan had really run into trouble this time.

And the root cause of all this was not a fight with Ye Liuyun; Wu Xunyuan was almost beaten senseless.

Those big shots wouldn't pursue responsibility for such a small matter.

The real reason was what Wu Xunyuan said.

That Ye Liuyun was a monster.

This was the fundamental reason for this matter.

The military was making an example of him, telling everyone that whoever dared to mention Ye Liuyun as a monster or similar remarks, then Wu Xunyuan's today would be their tomorrow.

If Su Zhengqing hadn't stopped the words the other party hadn't spoken, it's estimated that now, let alone a position, he would lose his reputation!

Su Zhengqing was incomparably melancholic; he still had to call Wu Xunyuan's father.

He now somewhat regretted transferring this simpleton Wu Xunyuan to the research institute!

...The next day.

Vicious Beast Research Institute.

The area destroyed by Ye Liuyun yesterday had returned to normal today.

As Su Qingwan exited the elevator, she saw all the researchers of her institute gathered at the elevator entrance.

"What are you all doing!"

"Director, did you see the announcement released today? Captain Wu resigned!"

"Yes, Director, is it because of what happened yesterday with Staff Officer Ye that..."

"I think so too. What he said yesterday was too much. Even the Director of National Martial Arts University said he would pursue responsibility."

Listening to everyone chattering, Su Qingwan snorted coldly, "I think you all have too much free time."

"No, we're just gossiping."

They all knew the other party's research data. Last night, they were all coincidentally interviewed by people from Headquarters and then signed their non-disclosure agreements.

"Do what you're supposed to do. Don't listen to hearsay or spread rumors about other things. Captain Wu might just have had a job transfer." Su Qingwan waved her hand.

Some things, even if everyone knew, no one could speak out about them.

"By the way, Director, we were all interviewed by Headquarters yesterday."

"Then just follow their regulations properly." Su Qingwan let out a heavy breath.

"Understood!"

"Alright, everyone get back to work."

...National Martial Arts University.

Ye Liuyun got up and ran a lap outside.

The greenery and air freshness around here were excellent.

"You're in good spirits, kid." Director Niu looked at the vibrant Ye Liuyun and said with a smile.

He would have to act as this little fellow's full-time tour guide for the next few days.

"Morning, Director."

"Morning. Let me tell you something. Remember Wu Xunyuan from the research institute yesterday?"

Hearing Director Niu's question, Ye Liuyun frowned, "What's wrong, Director? Is he here to cause trouble?"

"No! Based on our school's communication with their superior unit yesterday, he has officially been dismissed today.

I'm just telling you, don't bother with such a character.

Lest you tarnish your own reputation."

"Oh, I understand. As long as he bothers me again, I definitely won't pay attention to him."

Ye Liuyun had already forgotten about this matter.

Just a simpleton.

Of course, if the other party was still unconvinced and came again, then it wouldn't be so simple then...
