Chapter 671 The Overbearing Fang Ziye! ~ (Second update, please subscribe)

"Things from seven years ago have been brought up again." Lan Tianluo didn't know the details, only that the sanatorium was talking about it.

"Once something happens, it's impossible for it to disappear without a trace."

"Some things can be kept secret, but the actual situation must be investigated."

"Tianluo, just focus on your own work and leave the rest to time," Fang Ziye quickly typed in reply.

"Okay, senior brother!"

“Under the current circumstances, conducting experiments in the sanatorium is very restrictive and limited every day. Everything that comes in has to be reviewed many times. It’s quite troublesome,” Lan Tianluo replied.

"What happened in the past has nothing to do with us now. So what if it's a bit of a hassle? After all, the sanatorium is our sugar daddy," Fang Ziye could only say to reassure Lan Tianluo.

……

The person who hosted the dinner was a relative of his teacher's wife, so Fang Ziye naturally gave him face, and they chatted very well during the meal without feeling particularly restrained.

There was no forced drinking or "gangster" atmosphere, so it ended very cleanly.

The teacher's wife also knew that Fang Ziye was Yuan Weihong's 'student' and 'benefactor', so she often mediated between Yuan Weihong and Fang Ziye, so that Fang Ziye did not have too much pressure.

At 7:30 p.m. that evening, Fang Ziye returned to his department after finishing his "business" dinner with Yuan Weihong.

"Jinhuan, has Professor Han arrived?" Fang Ziye asked, covering his mouth as he saw Xiong Jinhuan.

He was intoxicated at the moment and was not really in a good position to discuss business, but things had piled up at once, so he had no choice but to meet with Han Yuanxiao as soon as possible.

Xiong Jinhuan nodded, looked around to make sure no one was around, and then led Fang Ziye into the director's office.

Han Yuanxiao was only investigated for 'cheating', not arrested or placed under house arrest.

The plagiarism is a very early case and is not yet a criminal offense.

"Professor Han!" When Fang Ziye saw Han Yuanxiao, he noticed that Han Yuanxiao's hair had turned gray, and he looked at least five years older than the last time he saw him.

It's clear that Han Yuanxiao hasn't been doing well lately.

But Han Yuanxiao was not easily defeated. After squinting, he looked at Fang Ziye with a suspicious expression and said in a nonchalant tone, "Professor Fang didn't come to see me make a fool of myself, did he?"

"Professor Han, you are too kind. I have always had great respect for you, Professor Han."

"As long as it doesn't involve special matters of principle, I believe I've never crossed the line!"

“But Professor Han, I, Fang Ziye, have a formal teacher. Yuan Weihong and Deng Yong are both my mentors. You cannot undermine their authority. I need to have a sincere conversation with you.”

“Just like Jin Huan now, there is still a certain distance between us,” Fang Ziye said.

Fang Ziye remembered what he had done.

That year, Fang Ziye himself became impatient, so he took the initiative to inform Huang Kai that he couldn't even go to the sanatorium when he was discharged from the sanatorium because his resident period had been extended.

Fang Ziye didn't explain why he extended his stay! ~Because Fang Ziye knew that the people at the sanatorium would definitely be able to find out. If they couldn't even find out this, then the sanatorium wasn't worth going to at all.

This could be considered a report, but it wasn't exactly a report. Fang Ziye simply stated the fact that his total hospital stay had been extended because of what Han Yuanxiao and others had done in the department, without filing a complaint.

The end result was that Han Yuanxiao and a group of people in the hand surgery department were all dealt with.

Whether Professor Liu Huanglong's actions were motivated by "retaliation" or instigation remains unknown to Fang Ziye.

However, the reason why Han Yuanxiao stepped down from his high-spirited position as director and became depressed was because of Fang Ziye. The root cause was that he himself allowed drugs that had not passed clinical trials to enter the department.

Fang Ziye continued, his voice firm and resolute: "But Professor Han, I still kept my promise!"

Previously, when Fang Ziye was the chief resident, Han Yuanxiao entrusted him to take care of Xiong Jinhuan.

Fang Ziye did it.

While Xiong Jinhuan's current experience may not be as profound as Li Yuanpei's in terms of vertical integration, his research experience and clinical skills are far superior to those of his fellow PhD graduates from Tongji Hospital!

"Professor Fang, why don't you just tell me directly, why did you have Jin Huan contact me?" Han Yuanxiao asked.

Fang Ziye locked the door from the inside, then turned around and said, "Professor Han, I just find it strange."

Why don't you prove your innocence?

"If we've done an experiment before, can't we just repeat it and get the data again?"

"You are a professor at our Zhongnan Hospital, my teacher, and our own professor in the Department of Trauma Surgery," Fang Ziye stated clearly.

When Xiong Jinhuan heard Fang Ziye mention such a sensitive topic, she immediately shrank back in fright and began to swallow hard.

He whispered, "Master, should I excuse myself for a moment?"

Yuan Weihong was Fang Ziye's mentor, so Han Yuanxiao was Xiong Jinhuan's mentor. Even if Han Yuanxiao wronged Fang Ziye, he did not wrong Xiong Jinhuan.

This matter involves Han Yuanxiao's privacy and could potentially ruin his image, so Xiong Jinhuan prefers to avoid it.

"Xiong Jinhuan doesn't need to go out!"

Han Yuanxiao swallowed hard a few times, then turned to Fang Ziye: "I didn't plagiarize!"

"Do you believe me, Fang Ziye?" Han Yuanxiao was now unable to reason with him.

Fang Ziye nodded: "Professor Han, if I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have come to see you today."

"To be honest, my teacher did not recommend that I contact you. He even warned me, and I agreed to his request."

"But I'm still here."

"Because, after all, you are still one of us."

If Deng Yong hadn't said those words, Fang Ziye wouldn't have cared about Han Yuanxiao. But because of Deng Yong's words...

Knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements.

No one in this world is infallible. In essence, Fang Ziye has also made mistakes, but people's perspectives differ, so their choices inevitably differ as well.

Whether it's right or wrong depends on your perspective.

Han Yuanxiao's biggest 'mistake' was bringing his senior brother Liu Qiao into the hospital to disgust Yuan Weihong and Fang Ziye, but objectively speaking, Liu Qiao's return might be a good thing for the Department of Trauma Surgery at Zhongnan Hospital.

Fang Ziye simply couldn't stand it!
So Fang Ziye chose to just fry the fish soup, and nobody could play with it anymore.

Yuan Weihong and I are definitely not leaving. The only ones who can leave are Liu Qiao and you, Han Yuanxiao, stepping down.

“Professor Han, but I need to know the actual situation,” Fang Ziye said.

Fang Ziye did not feel that he was useless. Since he had chosen to stand up and become the "representative" of the Department of Trauma Surgery at Zhongnan Hospital, others had also given him this convenience.

Therefore, within his power, Fang Ziye must fulfill his role as the "representative," which includes, but is not limited to, preventing his colleagues from being "persecuted" or "framed"!
If Han Yuanxiao really plagiarized, then it's fine; he brought it on himself.

Han Yuanxiao began to feel uncomfortable all over, scratching his chest repeatedly with both hands.

He's a full professor, a professor. Back when Fang Ziye first joined the department, he was just an insignificant nobody.

Now, asking him to reveal his past in front of Fang Ziye is like asking an infant for help, and it's like peeling back the softest scars of his heart.

The silence lasted for a full three minutes.

Xiong Jinhuan poured a glass of water for both Fang Ziye and Han Yuanxiao, using disposable cups. Han Yuanxiao's personal belongings had been mostly cleared away, including his teacup from when he was reappointed as director.

It was placed next door.

It may be shelved, or it may be restarted.

Two minutes later, Han Yuanxiao said, "Ziye, our situation back then was different from yours now."

"Back then, professional skills were the most important personal ability. As long as you were good enough in your field, you could stay at the hospital after graduation and getting a doctorate."

"So back then, I basically focused all my energy on clinical work and hospitalization."

"In the experiments for my graduation thesis, I only participated in discussing the ideas and details; I didn't actually carry out the experiments. The data was also obtained through our collaboration."

"Part of the funding for the project also came from my teacher."

"I never imagined she would!" Han Yuanxiao was truly embarrassed to say it.

The academic woman had been around him for a while, and they had a period of entanglement.

In other words, Han Yuanxiao was cheated on.

Fang Ziye then glanced at Xiong Jinhuan and said, "Jinhuan, why don't you go inside and rest for a while?"

Fang Ziye can listen to the rest of the private conversation, but Xiong Jinhuan would be better off avoiding it.

Xiong Jinhuan obediently did as instructed.

After Xiong Jinhuan closed the door, Fang Ziye asked, "So, Professor Han, you didn't participate in any actual experiments back then. Most of the data was passed to you by others."

"You're only responsible for providing the money. So now, you can't even find detailed data to replicate the experiment?"

"How can you be sure that this data is accurate?"

Han Yuanxiao is really bold.

However, it's understandable. If Luo Tingzhu were to offer him an article and send him the data now, Fang Ziye wouldn't doubt Luo Tingzhu at all.

They were boyfriend and girlfriend, and in Han Yuanxiao's era, they were "privately engaged," and everyone was working together for the future.

Fang Ziye didn't dwell on what happened next.

“At that time, we had the original data. We analyzed it together and made the graphs. I also organized the experimental data one by one.”

"But it's been too long, and those forms are long gone."

"The original copies of the data are all with other people. I have no chance of getting them now."

"But now, even if I produce invoices and other documents, I still can't prove my innocence..."

Yes, buying data is also not allowed; it's not considered research integrity.

However, data produced collaboratively within the research group, even if provided by team members, reflects the instinctive approach of scientific research.

Scientific research relies on collaboration; it operates as a team, not an individual.

“Professor Han, I have carefully studied your article, and I also had my junior colleagues repeat a small part of the experiment. Logically speaking, it should be possible to reproduce the result,” Fang Ziye said softly.

"However, I cannot guarantee whether the experimental methods and detailed data I have derived are correct."

Han Yuanxiao was taken aback: "You can reverse-engineer the experimental process based on the experimental results?"

As we all know, the data presented in scientific research articles are statistical results, and the experimental procedures can be vague, requiring only a range of data, without needing to be precise to the percentile or anything like that.

What others want to see is the practical significance of your data. Generally speaking, if someone wants to replicate your experiment, they can only contact the original author for the raw data.

You can't leave out a range!
If you don't give it to me, it means you're guilty.

However, very few people can reverse-engineer the specific experimental process from the experimental results, or even pinpoint the specific dosage ranges in the experimental procedures.

There are very few people in the world who can do this.

Moreover, unless it's a particularly crucial article with a wide impact, if others want to copy it, the original author will provide very precise data. Whether they copy it or not is up to them, unless they have something to hide.

However, when it comes to confidential "patents," others won't provide you with the most original data. If you can do it, then do it; if you can't, then don't. It's protected.

Even if someone wants to repeat something, it's the original author who brings their team to the magazine's editorial department; it's not up to you, a third-party individual, to supervise.

"Pretty much, but I can't guarantee that it will have a particularly good outcome in the end, but it is a viable path."

“Professor Han, your case is rather special. You can only prove your innocence yourself. No one else, including me, can help you from the side,” Fang Ziye explained.

Han Yuanxiao's current situation is that he cannot accuse the other party of plagiarism; he can only prove that he did not plagiarize, which is why he is in trouble.

Otherwise, there would be many more options to choose from.

"Fang Ziye, if it can really be reproduced, I, Han Yuanxiao, will definitely remember your kindness!" Han Yuanxiao did not doubt the truthfulness of Fang Ziye's words.

What Fang Ziye called a possibility was basically a certainty; otherwise, Fang Ziye wouldn't have come to find him.

As for why Fang Ziye was able to do it?

Fang Ziye can unilaterally modify even the most widely accepted basic experimental methods, reverse-engineer the experimental process based on the results, and even calculate the reagent concentrations in the experimental process himself. Isn't that a matter of course?

Compared to the difficulty of operation, the difficulty of modifying basic experimental methods and breaking the rules to re-formulate the rules is at least ten times, or even a hundred times, more difficult than the difficulty of reverse engineering.

The reason why basic rules are basic is that they are generally recognized as effective, have stood the test of time, and are basically impossible to overturn.

"No need for that, Professor Han, please take care of it."

"This is my handwritten manuscript. I will retrieve it after you have Xiong Jinhuan convert it into an electronic file," Fang Ziye said cautiously, taking out a notebook.

He will help Han Yuanxiao, but he won't help him without leaving any way out.

At least, even if Han Yuanxiao makes a mistake in his subsequent self-proof process, no one should be able to trace it back to him.

Without a handwritten copy, recordings, or email records, and even without an electronic copy, it would be very difficult for Han Yuanxiao to pin a finger on Fang Ziye.

Moreover, unless Han Yuanxiao himself has gone mad, he would try to pin this on Fang Ziye.

Upon hearing this, Han Yuanxiao nodded and immediately called Xiong Jinhuan out.

Han Yuanxiao only asked Xiong Jinhuan to do things, but Xiong Jinhuan also vaguely guessed the true purpose of Fang Ziye's handwritten manuscript.

He immediately sat down at his computer and began typing out each word, comparing them one by one.

The office was filled with the constant clatter of typing.

"Ziye, can you tell me? Why do you want to help me?" Han Yuanxiao asked, slightly puzzled.

From Han Yuanxiao's perspective, Fang Ziye has already risen to prominence, and the death of Han Yuanxiao would not have any impact on Fang Ziye.

Adding Han Yuanxiao wouldn't be of much help to Fang Ziye.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye smiled and said calmly, "Teacher Han, we're all on the same side. If we make a mistake, we can accept the punishment. We'll accept whatever punishment is within the rules."

"We can also handle it ourselves."

"But if others want to frame or slander you, that won't work."

"No one can do that."

Fang Ziye's voice wasn't loud, and his tone was very soft, but every word was delivered precisely to Han Yuanxiao's ears, domineering and unquestionable.

"So, you wanted Liu Qiao to come back and lead the team before? You just didn't want Liu Qiao to come back?" Han Yuanxiao suddenly remembered the past.

"Yes, that's the only reason."

"Our hospital is not a place where you can come and go as you please."

"You can leave, but once you leave, don't even think about going back."

“Professor Liu Huanglong in hand surgery is different; it was the senior figures in hand surgery who wronged him first,” Fang Ziye remarked.

Fang Ziye himself had gone through the doctoral examination.

Back then, the hand surgeons played a trick on Liu Huanglong, which was tantamount to ruining his future.

Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents; it's like ruining their future—that's a hatred that will never end.

You can tell me in advance that you don't want me, but you can't promise me after I've finished the exam and then kick me out at the last minute...

After Fang Ziye finished speaking, he added, "Of course, Professor Han, I, Fang Ziye, am just an ordinary person who knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

"I will do what I can do and bear the consequences of, but I will not dare to provoke anything I cannot do or cannot bear the consequences of."

"After all, I'm just an ordinary person. I still need to make a living in this industry, so I can't afford to ruin my own livelihood. And if someone else tries to ruin my livelihood, I'll hate them to the core."

A person's capacity for gratitude is roughly equal to their capacity for revenge.

The so-called smoothness and tact are not a lack of personal cultivation, but a lack of social cultivation.

When one has enough social experience, being tactful and diplomatic will only apply to a small number of people, and that number will only decrease, unless one has no social experience or social accumulation whatsoever.

"Thank you, Ziye," Han Yuanxiao said.

"If I have the chance to stay in the hospital again in the future, I will do my best to help Ziye."

"If you are given a command, I will not refuse."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye shook his head: "Professor Han, you are my teacher and my senior. I am helping you not so that you can become my 'subordinate'."

"Just because you're one of us."

"A gentleman's friendship is as light as water; there is no need to get too entangled."

"Professor Han, I need to go back now that you've finished transcribing."

"But I still want to advise you, Professor Han, that when necessary, just protect yourself and don't think about upholding what you believe to be justice."

"The trend is irreversible; individual efforts are futile."

Han Yuanxiao is in a terrible situation, even Fang Ziye thinks he is.

But if Han Yuanxiao were to pursue absolute justice, he would only die a horrible death.

When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; all grudges and affections vanish. You can't kill someone by killing their heart.

Han Yuanxiao did not reply, but after looking at Xiong Jinhuan for a long time, he nodded silently.

He felt wronged, but as an adult, there are some injustices you have to suffer, there's no way around it.

……

When Fang Ziye came out of the head of the trauma surgery department's office, he had already checked his notebook and confirmed that it was intact.

Moreover, Fang Ziye watched the whole process, and neither Xiong Jinhuan nor Han Yuanxiao took any photos or records.

Only then did I feel relieved!

Xiong Jinhuan suddenly spoke up: "Ziye, don't worry, I won't compete with Yuanpei for the spot to stay in the hospital."

"I will start looking for work gradually over the next few months."

Fang Ziye glanced at Xiong Jinhuan and said, "Jinhuan, what are you thinking about?"

"Compared to you, what does Li Yuanpei know about clinical practice? Even though he's been trained by our team, he's still just so-so. His qualifications are really very limited."

"You should fight for what you should fight for, don't give up just because of me and Professor Han Yuanxiao."

"To be honest, if you and Li Yuanpei were both hospitalized at the same time, and I had to choose one person from the clinical team, I would definitely choose you!" This was Fang Ziye's honest opinion.

Fang Ziye wholeheartedly supports Li Yuanpei joining the experimental group and will only choose Li Yuanpei.

However, if both Xiong Jinhuan and Li Yuanpei are hospitalized at the same time and both are to join the clinical team, Fang Ziye will definitely choose Xiong Jinhuan and let Li Yuanpei go to another specialty team.

Different talents lead to completely different levels of accumulated qualifications and experience among peers of the same age.

"That's just a hypothetical, Ziye. You don't need to be so explicit."

“There’s no need for us brothers to be overly formal.” Xiong Jinhuan smiled upon hearing this, assuming that Fang Ziye was just being polite.

In the view of Xiong Jinhuan and others, Fang Ziye's "selfishness" was no different from Deng Yong's.

Fang Ziye looked Xiong Jinhuan up and down, then said, "Do you really think I helped Professor Han Yuanxiao this time without any ulterior motive?"

"I just don't want you to have any resentment towards me."

"In the same period, it seems that you are the only one in Hubei Province who can compete with Song Yi from Tongji Hospital."

"I definitely can't win Song Yi over, but I can still try to win Jin Huan over."

"Putting everything else aside, don't you, Xiong Jinhuan, have received the resources that everyone in our group has? When have you ever not received them?"

"It's just that you don't dare to go for it boldly."

"Including when we were writing the thesis last year, didn't I tell you that you and Li Yuanpei could choose their own sub-directions? But you just wouldn't write it."

"How can you blame me?"

"You hate me, so you assume there must be some grudge between us. You're afraid I won't let you publish your articles."

“Jinhuan, you’re the one who created this distance first,” Fang Ziye said.

Xiong Jinhuan narrowed her eyes: "You still want me? Aren't you afraid Teacher Deng will scold you?"

"I'm not afraid of what your master says about me, but you're afraid of what your master says about me?"

"You're such a jerk." Fang Ziye chuckled and then simply left.

He was determined to have Xiong Jinhuan.

Li Yuanpei wanted it too.

Fang Ziye didn't want to follow in Deng Yong's footsteps, so what could he do?
Miracles happen with brute force, so let's just say it's all about smashing!
Smash it hard, smash it with all your might.
