Quick Transmigration: After Becoming the Male Lead’s White Moonlight, I Realized

Chapter 316: Lovestruck Mermaid vs. Cruel Experimenter (2)

An old man in a white coat walked in slowly. He looked to be about sixty years old.

He wore a pair of glasses on his nose, his hair was already gray, and his face was serious, giving off an air of keeping strangers away.

When his eyes met Jiang Wan, his brows relaxed slightly, but he quickly looked away and walked straight inside.

He sat firmly in his seat, scrutinizing everyone present with eagle-like eyes, and then spoke slowly.

"The mermaid hasn't been found yet, so I hope you can give me an answer as to why and whose negligence led to this situation."

Although his voice was not loud, it seemed to carry an invisible sense of oppression, making everyone present silent and afraid to breathe.

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and no one dared to speak, he directly called out the name: "Haoyu, as the team leader, you speak."

"Ah?" Fang Haoyu stood up in panic as if his name was suddenly called, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Wan, his eyes full of eagerness for her to help him excuse himself.

Jiang Wan turned her head away, still angry about what had just happened.

Today she wanted to let Fang Haoyu know who was the one who could really help him.

"Haoyu, tell me what the reason is. It's been three days. Don't tell me you still don't have an answer."

Dean Lin's voice sounded again, with unquestionable majesty.

When Fang Haoyu heard this, his body trembled involuntarily, and he kept looking at Jiang Wan.

But the other party seemed not to see his pleading eyes and did not respond at all.

More and more beads of sweat appeared on Fang Haoyu's forehead. In this tense atmosphere, he finally set his eyes on Ye Youran.

Ye Youran's heart tightened and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

Damn it, he's not going to give himself away, is he?

She was extremely frightened and stood up quickly, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Dean...actually, there's something else going on."

"Hmm? Go ahead!" Dean Lin's eyes darkened slightly, and his gaze swept towards her like a sharp blade.

Ye Youran swallowed, her eyes wandering to Jiang Wan, and she stammered:

"Actually, Miss Jiang wanted to see the mermaid, so she asked me for the key. Then she was careless and accidentally turned off the security system, which is how... that's how the mermaid escaped."

After saying that, Ye Youran pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Wan guiltily.

When the other people in the room heard this, they were all surprised and their eyes were full of confusion.

How could it be possible that Jiang Wan did it?

"Oh? Really? Do we have a good relationship?" Jiang Wan immediately retorted, with obvious anger in her tone.

If it weren't for Fang Haoyu, she wouldn't bother to pay attention to Ye Youran.

Dean Lin frowned and said unhappily, "What on earth are you doing?"

Ye Youran's face froze instantly, and she looked at Fang Haoyu with pleading eyes.

Fang Haoyu also quickly gave Jiang Wan a look, his eyes full of pleading.

He was extremely scared. If Dean Lin knew the truth, he might lose his position as team leader.

Jiang Wan snorted, but didn't say anything.

Dean Lin looked at Jiang Wan and asked seriously, "Is that you?"

Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Seeing her nod, Fang Haoyu and Ye Youran looked at each other, and a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.

Ye Youran was filled with gloating. Now, let's see what Jiang Wan would do.

She would definitely be severely scolded by the dean and leave in disgrace.

But before she could finish imagining Jiang Wan's miserable state, she saw Jiang Wan directly addressing Dean Lin: "Uncle Lin, wouldn't it be better if you could just find another mermaid?"

This scene was completely beyond Ye Youran's expectations, and she was stunned.

Jiang Wan asked, "What did she call Dean Lin?" Unable to believe it, she quickly looked towards Dean Lin.

Not only her, but everyone else except the person involved was also shocked.

Fang Haoyu's eyes widened even more. He never expected that Dean Lin... was actually Jiang Wan's uncle.

Everyone saw that Dean Lin's face had lost its usual seriousness, replaced by the helplessness of an elder towards the younger generation. He said, "It takes a lot of effort to catch a mermaid. How can it be so easy?"

Jiang Wan curled her lips and said disapprovingly, "Then why don't I ask my dad to catch it for you?"

Dean Lin shook his head helplessly, but his eyes fell on Fang Haoyu and Ye You intentionally or unintentionally.

He knew Xiao Wan's character very well, and she would definitely not do such a thing.

Coupled with her relationship with Fang Haoyu, it was hard for him not to suspect that Fang Haoyu did it.

Fang Haoyu felt a little guilty when he was looked at by him, and stammered, "Dean...Dean?"

Jiang Wan also tugged at Dean Lin's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Uncle Lin, what do you think of my proposal?"

Dean Lin waved his hand and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I'll have someone look for the mermaid. You guys should focus on other projects for the next few days."

When several people heard this, their jaws almost dropped in surprise.

Is that the solution?

Everyone instantly turned their grateful eyes to Jiang Wan. Thanks to her, otherwise they would have been scolded for who knows how long.

When Jiang Wan heard what he said, she was about to tell him to stop looking, after all, the mermaid was in her house right now.

No, in her house?

It's over! She forgot everything!

Chen Wu knows nothing, will anything happen?

The more Jiang Wan thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she immediately stood up.

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, she hurriedly pushed the door open and left.

He jogged downstairs, quickly opened the car door, got in, and started the car, hoping that Chen Wu didn't run around.

Looking at the open door, Dean Lin didn't find it strange. After all, Jiang Wan had been impetuous and impatient since childhood.

After Jiang Wan left, Dean Lin glanced at Fang Haoyu casually and said lightly:

"Let's leave it at that for now, but I still advise some people to straighten their stance and focus more on their work. Zhichuang is not a place for you to have fun."

After saying this, he strode away.

Fang Haoyu was left standing there, his face turning blue and red.

He naturally knew that those words were directed at him, and he felt a little resentful, but he didn't dare to vent it to Dean Lin.

He turned his head and glared at Ye Youran beside him.

It was all because of her that Dean Lin criticized her.

Dean Lin must have misunderstood, thinking that it was his own doing, but he dragged Jiang Wan as a scapegoat.

Ye Youran felt uneasy when he looked at her. She asked cautiously, "Brother Haoyu...what's wrong with you?"

Fang Haoyu snorted coldly and walked past her. He was in no mood to say anything else.

However, on the way out, he thought of Jiang Wan.

Since Dean Lin is her uncle...it would definitely be more beneficial for her if she got closer to Jiang Wan.

He used to look down on Jiang Wan because she only had money, but now the situation is different.

If he could get Dean Lin's training, he would definitely be able to make a name for himself and gain both fame and fortune, and there would be no need for him to suffer in this laboratory.

Maybe... he should respond to Jiang Wan properly.
