Chapter 1807
Yun Lao understood immediately that Yan Aohan knew the truth. He sighed. "Little Yan, I know they were wrong not to destroy the items as you asked. But one-third of the data is missing. It is really bad."
Yan Aohan spoke calmly. "I said this kind of thing should not be made much. Giving fifteen sets was already generous. People should not be too greedy. In my opinion, I should have destroyed that so-called laboratory long ago. They refused to give it up. Since they would not let go, they must bear the consequences."
Yan Aohan sighed deeply again. "Yun Lao, I do not like my words to be ignored. So, whether it is that one-third or the remaining two-thirds, the ink will vanish completely in three days."
Yun Lao said nothing more. Yan Aohan had made it clear. They had refused to do what was asked, so he had done it for them. He had warned them to destroy the data, but their greed made them keep it.
"If they had destroyed the data as you asked, what would have happened?" Yun Lao asked.
"Nothing. I would have appreciated their style, not this. I did not want to manage them. If they had destroyed the data, I would have given them advice in other areas. Because of their greed, that chance is gone. So, people must not be greedy." Yun Lao already understood that their greed was the reason.
Yun Lao smiled bitterly. Yan Aohan had such blueprints, so he surely had others. If the researchers had not been greedy, Yan Aohan might have generously provided another set. But now, that chance was gone. Not only that, even the set they refused to destroy was now lost.
After this conversation, Yun Lao did not contact Yan Aohan again. Neither did anyone else. They knew Yan Aohan would not interfere. Soon, the so-called laboratory was abolished.
The day for Zhu Yanyi’s gathering with Luo Kun and others arrived. Seeing everyone again, Zhu Yanyi felt as if a lifetime had passed.
"It has been several years since we parted. Although we are all in the capital, we rarely meet," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
"We all have free time. You are the one who is never free," Ma Yaya said directly.
Zhu Yanyi chuckled. "I am really busy."
"I know well," Ma Yaya said. She did not doubt Zhu Yanyi’s busyness, just like the last date was postponed to today.
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "But I have nothing to do tonight. So everyone can have fun here."
Zheng Feier nodded seriously. "It is not easy to see you. So today we must really extort you." Everyone laughed, then started the so-called extortion, which was just them getting active.
There were only five of them. No one would know no matter how they played. The place was very safe. So, no matter how they wanted to extort her, Zhu Yanyi just smiled and nodded, offering no objection.
Hui Junlan naturally poured a glass of water for Zhu Yanyi. "Teacher, drink water first."
Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "It is rare to gather today. Do not restrain yourself. Have fun quickly. Such relaxed days will not come often."
Relaxed days were indeed rare. After this gathering, Zhu Yanyi threw herself into research and school matters again. By the end of the year, the school officially entered its promotion period. Meanwhile, Zhu Yanyi slowly found substitutes for some special materials. Next, they would begin experiments.
The school’s enrollment caused a sensation across China and the world when the promotional ads came out. The world knew that Zhu Yanyi’s Traditional Chinese Medicine school only recruited Chinese students. Many were dissatisfied and filed protests. But there was no way around it. This was a school funded and founded by Zhu Yanyi. Even if others wanted to use connections to get in, they could not.
Everyone in this school, regardless of their position, was very responsible. Their only thought was to have no selfishness. So, no matter who came looking, they only offered priority registration rights. But for five years, these rights were only for domestic children. International children could have this right after five years. If anyone was unhappy, Zhu Yanyi simply said, "If you are still unhappy, I will permanently ban your students."
She was so domineering. From then on, everyone quieted down. Because Zhu Yanyi taught them that on her turf, she made the rules.
Busy and tense days passed quickly. Three years quietly slipped by.
It was rare for anyone to visit the quiet foot of Kunlun Mountain.
Gu Jun and Zhu Yanyi climbed the mountain slowly. After climbing a section, Gu Jun had to rest. She wanted to climb all the way up, but Zhu Yanyi had to collect herbs first. Over these days, Gu Jun went from helplessness to calmness. Anyway, she let Zhu Yanyi do as she pleased.
After digging some herbs, Zhu Yanyi said, "Senior Brother Gu Jun, you are really wasting treasures. Look at so many good herbs, and you are not tempted at all."
Gu Jun said helplessly, "Junior Sister Yanyi, I remember you reminded me the first time you dug herbs. There are many such herbs in the academy."
Zhu Yanyi snorted and smiled. "We must still cherish them. Look at the teachers in the academy. They have been busy looking for herbs in various planes for years. You can see how hard these herbs are to find."
Gu Jun chuckled. She found she could not argue with Zhu Yanyi, so she said, "Junior Sister Yanyi, if we do not hurry, we will have to sleep outdoors today."
"It does not matter. I brought a tent," Zhu Yanyi said without looking up.
Over these years, Yan Aohan returned to the Underworld. The Yan Aohan who occasionally appeared in this plane was a clone of Yan Aohan himself. He said he was on a mission and rarely appeared in public. Zhu Yanyi was busy with the school. Within three years, she stabilized the school. Now, the school had many students, increasing every year. The school’s transition was very smooth. This was mainly because all the council teachers worked together.
Moreover, during these years, Zhu Yanyi found common materials that could replace the rare materials needed to refine human body parts. Now, even Medicine Old Man learned to refine human body parts, although it took longer. Over these years, everyone made breakthroughs in some surgeries. The status of Traditional Chinese Medicine internationally was far ahead. Everything was developing well. Zhu Yanyi decided to set off for the Saint Academy.
