Lu Jianpeng smiled without saying a word.
Xia Chujian sprayed the External Injury Spray on her face a few times, seemingly believing and yet doubting.
Xia Yuanfang even took the spray and made sure to apply it evenly for her.
Sure enough, her swollen face rapidly smoothed out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A minute later, Xia Chujian touched her smooth, restored cheek and murmured, "...Will it have any side effects, recovering so quickly?"
Zong Ruoan: "..."
Lu Jianpeng: "..."
Xia Yuanfang suppressed a smile and subtly shifted her gaze.
Only Shen Junyi explained seriously, "This should be a Special Security Bureau-specific External Injury Spray. It's exceptionally effective and can't be bought outside."
"So amazing? - Thank you, Colonel Zong! Thank you, Major Lu!" Xia Chujian praised, casually stuffing the remaining spray into her coat pocket.
Lu Jianpeng glanced at Zong Ruoan.
Seeing that Zong Ruoan didn't speak, he didn't say anything either.
He had taken the best kind of External Injury Spray from the fighter jet; their department only had one bottle a year.
This bottle hadn't even been used yet...
But thinking that the year was almost over and he would soon be able to claim another bottle of this high-quality External Injury Spray, he didn't mind.
Anyway, they had plenty of stock, so this bottle could be considered a favor.
Another secretary standing behind Zong Ruoan hadn't said a word from beginning to end.
Like a silent shadow.
Zong Ruoan didn't seem inclined to introduce him.
Xia Chujian didn't pay attention to Lu Jianpeng's subtle expressions.
She walked to the fish tank, looked at the water inside, and said, "There are a few Goldfish here, but they're all dead."
"But none of those fish have genetic abnormalities, only this one," Zong Ruoan said, holding up the fresh-keeping storage bag.
At this moment, the man standing behind him suddenly stepped forward and whispered in Zong Ruoan's ear.
Zong Ruoan listened without changing his expression, nodded, and said to Xia Yuanfang, "Ms. Xia, I have something else to attend to. I'll take my leave."
He nodded to Xia Chujian and Shen Junyi as a farewell.
Lu Jianpeng followed behind them, quickly leaving.
After they left, Xia Chujian pointed to the fish tank and said to Shen Junyi, "Doctor Shen, do you want this fish tank?"
What Shen Junyi really wanted was the Goldfish with the genetic abnormality.
But there was only one Goldfish like that.
Xia Chujian said, "Since that Goldfish came from here, there might be something wrong with the water quality..."
Shen Junyi understood and nodded, saying, "Then I'll take some water and another Goldfish back."
He also took out a fresh-keeping storage bag, filled it with some water from the fish tank, and scooped up a normal, dead Goldfish.
In a short while, only one Goldfish was left in the fish tank, floating belly-up all alone.
...
After leaving Wang Yixiao's office, Xia Chujian took Xia Yuanfang and Shen Junyi to the Academic Affairs Office.
Because of what happened today, the school's Principal and Dean of Studies had actually come.
They had been in a meeting, but when the mechanical intelligence notified them that a student's parents had arrived, they interrupted the meeting.
The Principal told the Dean of Studies to go and see what was going on first.
The Dean of Studies received Xia Yuanfang and the other two in the school's conference room.
Xia Yuanfang said politely but sternly, "...My niece is a student in Teacher Wang Yixiao's class. Today, Teacher Wang Yixiao beat my niece for no reason, causing her serious injuries. I want an explanation from the school."
As he spoke, Shen Junyi showed the photo he had just taken with the Quantum Optical Brain and said, "I am a doctor from the Imperial Official 892 Hospital. I can prove that Xia Chujian was indeed beaten."
The Dean of Studies looked at the photo and said arrogantly, "...But can you prove that the injury was really inflicted by teacher Wang Yixiao?"
Xia Chujian said, "You can check the surveillance footage."
"We checked, but the surveillance in her office was conveniently turned off."
"You can ask the Special Security Bureau to retrieve the surveillance footage." Xia Yuanfang said coldly, "If you don't know who to ask at the Special Security Bureau to retrieve the surveillance footage, we can call Colonel Zong now."
As soon as he heard the words "Colonel Zong," the Dean of Studies' expression immediately became amiable and kind.
"Are you very familiar with a Colonel at the Special Security Bureau?"
"Not very familiar, but Colonel Zong once visited my house." Xia Yuanfang slightly raised her chin, her aura very aggressive.
The Dean of Studies bent his waist even more flexibly.
He said in a serious tone, "Wang Yixiao's corporal punishment of students is irrefutable. We will immediately revoke her teaching qualification. Although she has already passed away from a sudden illness, she will still be punished. We will cancel her 300,000 personal insurance payout."
Originally, according to the welfare system of Imperial government-run schools, if Wang Yixiao suddenly passed away, the school would pay her family a large sum of personal insurance money.
Now, because of Xia Yuanfang's complaint, Wang Yixiao was fired, and that personal insurance money was naturally retained by the school.
The school's higher-ups were also happy to see this happen.
Therefore, they did not ask the Special Security Bureau to retrieve the surveillance footage and directly made the final judgment.
When Xia Chujian learned that Wang Yixiao had 300,000 personal insurance money, she really felt terrible.
Fortunately, her aunt insisted on complaining, even though Wang Yixiao was already dead.
This was the ending she deserved.
Shen Junyi said, "Chujian, come back to the hospital with me, and I will complete the medical certificate for the injury assessment for you."
Just now, it was only his verbal assessment, and he still needed to supplement it with a formal injury assessment, so as to prevent Wang Yixiao's family from causing trouble for Xia Chujian after they found out.
Xia Yuanfang also agreed, so the three of them got into Shen Junyi's private Flying Vehicle and returned to the Imperial Official 892 Hospital where Shen Junyi worked.
...
Zong Ruoan suddenly left Mulan City No. 1 High School and returned to the Mulan City branch of the Special Security Bureau because he had his subordinates retrieve the surveillance footage from Wang Yixiao's office and found something unexpected.
Back at the branch's headquarters, Zong Ruoan walked into his office, closed the door, and then opened the three-dimensional holographic projection virtual display screen.
The figure of his subordinate was projected from the headquarters.
"Colonel Zong, this is the surveillance video of a certain office in Mulan City No. 1 High School that you asked me to retrieve. According to the approximate time you mentioned, I retrieved the content from ten minutes before and after, and found this."
The man began to play the surveillance video.
At the beginning, only Wang Yixiao was seen walking into the office quickly.
Then, watching her close the office door, she took out a medicine bottle from somewhere in the lower layer of that row of filing cabinets.
There were two pills inside, which looked like the ordinary cold medicine produced by Li's Pharmaceuticals.
Wang Yixiao held the two pills and looked at them for a long time, and even picked a little bit off with her fingernails, and then threw it into the Goldfish tank in her office.
Ten minutes later, the Goldfish frantically rolled over, and the water in the fish tank was stirred up with sparkling light.
Then a Goldfish actually grew two soft little horns from its fish head.
Then Wang Yixiao threw the two pills into her mouth without hesitation, and swallowed them all without even drinking water.
Then Xia Chujian came to Wang Yixiao's office.
The two said a few words, as if arguing.
Wang Yixiao suddenly took a step forward, raised her hand, and with a *smack*, slapped Xia Chujian.
After this slap, half of Xia Chujian's face immediately swelled up, and even the corner of her eye was bleeding.
And Wang Yixiao looked at her hand in surprise, as if discovering a new continent.
Then, Wang Yixiao suddenly opened the virtual display screen of her Quantum Optical Brain and projected several photos onto the virtual display screen.
In these photos, Xia Chujian was surrounded by several men, her clothes disheveled.
But in the photos, Xia Chujian's expression was very strange. She wasn't terrified or angry, but indifferent, her eyes even a little vacant.
It was like... like she was daydreaming in class.
These photos are wrong.
Zong Ruoan subconsciously asked, "...You suddenly came to me because of these photos? But these photos are obviously modified."
The subordinate from headquarters was taken aback and hurriedly said, "No, I'm not looking for you because of these photos... Although you asked me to check this segment of surveillance, the truly important part is the footage before that."
Zong Ruoan thoughtfully said, "...Are you talking about Wang Yixiao sprinkling some medicine into the fish tank?"
"Yes, the tip we received was that an abnormal genetic object was found in her office. We were originally going to investigate the cause. With this surveillance footage, the cause is clear."
And the subsequent footage showed Wang Yixiao suddenly fainting and convulsing.
Zong Ruoan narrowed his eyes, immediately raised the quantum optical brain on his wrist, opened the Special Security Bureau's dedicated line system, and said to Lu Jianpeng, "Hurry to the hospital and transfer Wang Yixiao's body to the Special Security Bureau branch for an autopsy, especially the fingernail area."
Lu Jianpeng responded and immediately rushed to the Imperial Official 892 Hospital with his men.
Zong Ruoan's attention remained on Xia Chujian's photos.
After a long silence, he sent another message to Lu Jianpeng: "Bring back Wang Yixiao's quantum optical brain. It's important evidence."
[Lu Jianpeng]: Received.
Zong Ruoan turned off the 3D holographic projection video and opened the high-definition physical display screen, playing the photos on it.
Because in the surveillance footage, Wang Yixiao used a virtual display screen to play the photos.
Now they were retrieving the images from the surveillance footage, so the resolution wasn't very high.
But on the physical display screen, they had more means to allow the mechanical intelligence to restore the original image.
When the mechanical intelligence completely restored these photos, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that the girl in the photos really wasn't Xia Chujian.
Now, the restored photos showed the girl with a much more normal expression.
It was the kind of fear and anger one should have in that situation.
The appearances of the men were also clearer.
Zong Ruoan silently watched for a while and used the Special Security Bureau's system to perform an image search.
A minute later, the results came out.
Even someone as composed as Zong Ruoan widened his eyes.
"...How could it be there... How could it be such a coincidence..."
Because according to the image search results, the background of the image was inside that private club, "Yu".
These men, and that girl, were exactly six of the seven people who died in the private room!
If he remembered correctly, this girl was Zhu Yingying, Xia Chujian's deskmate and neighbor.
The second update will be at 1 PM.
