Dai Jie touched his nose. Although he was curious, he knew he was not in the position to ask to stay any further.
Before long, he left the office.
An hour later, Zhao Lian arrived at the department.
After chatting with Liu Qian, he said, “I have seen Qi Hui’s student’s thesis previously. The first time I saw it, it was about genetic engineering and wasn’t very good. Then he showed me a revised version. It was about genetic code decipherment just like you mentioned. Her arguments and calculations were a lot better.”
Zhao Lian paused before placing the glass of tea on the coffee table. “Does this mean Huo Yao was behind the second thesis?”
The first time he read the article, he felt that Jiang Mingyue was a gifted student for being able to come up with a completely novel and solid concept in such a short span of time.
After all, the research thesis was harder to write than normal articles. Just the research alone and experiments demanded a lot of time.
In that case, it was entirely possible for Jiang Mingyue to have resorted to plagiarism.
Liu Qian did not expect Zhao Lian to have seen Jiang Mingyue’s thesis. In that case, wouldn’t it mean they were closer to proving Jiang Mingyue had stolen Huo Yao’s idea?
Liu Qian gathered his thoughts and nodded. “Remember what I told you about Huo Yao taking a few minutes to come up with the 3D rendering? If I am not mistaken, Jiang Mingyue must have written her article using Huo Yao’s calculations.”
Since Jiang Mingyue was a very good student, it was easy for her to come up with the same equations after seeing them previously.
“In reality, it is not considered accomplete theft for Jiang Mingyue to use Huo Yao’s idea for her article. However, it is unethical for her to use it without asking Huo Yao. If she gets away with it, other students will start doing the same thing. Then it would be really bad.”
Zhao Lian tapped his fingers on his knee solemnly. After some time, he finally said, “Why don’t you send for them?”
“Yes, Prof Zhao,” acknowledged Liu Qian before he quickly left the office.

When Jiang Mingyue was notified to come over, she was still in the laboratory.
A student from the department came over to inform her.
She could not help feeling flustered when she was asked to head to the office immediately.
At this hour, why else would she get called to the office other than to talk about the thesis?
Her teammates were in a similar mood as her. Everyone looked at her with complicated expressions on their faces. Everyone had been hesitant about using Huo Yao’s idea initially, but they could not say no to the temptation of fame and fortune.
“Mingyue, she unexpectedly reported it to the teachers. That’s bad news.”
“We simply used Huo Yao’s idea. It’s not like she holds the patent to her idea. Why does she refuse to let you off?”
“Uh huh. I have never seen someone as persistent as her.”
Everyone stood around Jiang Mingyue worriedly.
Jiang Mingyue did not answer her teammates. She quietly sat in the chair for five minutes until she became slightly more composed. She walked up in front of the computer and located the data records and selected permanent deletion.
After she was done, she turned to look at her teammates. “It was our idea.”
The moment they heard this, they instantly knew what she was driving at.
“Mr. Liu was around when it happened.. Even if we delete the data records, he was really here,” said one of her teammates.
