Although on the surface, everyone said that they were friendly and harmonious,

However, the teachers of Nancheng University knew very well that some of the school’s leaders and factions hated Xia Wanyuan to the core. They simply treated Xia Wanyuan as the biggest enemy of Nancheng University.

Now that Xia Wanyuan had come to Nancheng University, it almost affected the hearts of the leaders of the entire Nancheng University.

“What is she doing here?”

“I don’t understand. She didn’t even greet us and came over just like that. Is she not taking our school leaders seriously?” The professors whispered and secretly looked out of the corridor with the students.

In a small garden not far away, a slender figure was sitting.

It was class time and there were not many people in the garden. A student boldly spoke to Xia Wanyuan. “Professor Xia, why are you here?”

Xia Wanyuan smiled slightly. “I came in and rest.”

Nancheng University was relatively close to Longqi Mountain and was relatively far from the city. The plane could not reach here, and it took a long time by car.

In the past, Xia Wanyuan would not have any problems, but after she got pregnant, Xia Wanyuan’s stomach felt uncomfortable from the bumpy cars. Coincidentally, they passed by Nancheng University, so Xia Wanyuan got someone to stop the car and came in to sit. In the end, this rest caused a sensation.

Xia Wanyuan herself did not expect Nancheng University to be so concerned about her. In less than ten minutes, two leaders of Nancheng University came.

The head of the admissions office was Wang Hui, who hated Xia Wanyuan to the core. “Yo, we’re really neglectful. When did Professor Xia come to our Nancheng University? If you had said so earlier, we would have sent a car to pick you up.”

Xia Wanyuan glanced at him. “Director Wang, you’re too kind.”

Wang Hui was slightly shocked. “I didn’t expect Mrs. Jun to know a small person like me.”

“Nobodies won’t know so many journal editors in Beijing.”

The moment Xia Wanyuan said this, Wang Hui, who had been smiling fakely just now, could not smile anymore. His pupils constricted. “Professor Xia, what do you mean?”

“Nothing.” Xia Wanyuan looked at Wang Hui with a faint smile. Her cold eyes seemed to see through people’s hearts. “I just met you in Beijing last time with some chief editors and felt that you had a good relationship.”

Wang Hui laughed dryly. “Professor Xia, you must be joking.”

He had never eaten with anyone before. The meaning of Xia Wanyuan’s words was nothing more than a hint to him that she already knew that he had joined forces with various journals to defame Xia Wanyuan for plagiarism.

The other professors looked at each other. For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Xia Wanyuan was not embarrassed at all and sat leisurely on the wooden chair.

Nancheng University was far from the city, so the environment and air were top-notch. The summer wind blew gently, and mottled shadows jumped on their faces. Ignoring the few people in front of them, it made one very happy.

A student secretly took a photo at the side. “Who do you think won the battle between the representative professor of Qing University and Nancheng University?”

The netizens carried small stools over.

[ In terms of looks alone, Xia Wanyuan won. ]

[ In terms of temperament, Xia Wanyuan also won. ]

[Are you crazy? They’re all professors, not people who rely on their faces to make a living. Fanatic fans are so annoying.]

[This brainless fan is here to slap this pickle to death. You keep saying that she relies on her face to earn money. You’re so jealous.]

In the small garden, the director led the professors over with hostility and left dejectedly because of Xia Wanyuan’s words.

“You’re too much. Did you see that? Xia Wanyuan is almost riding on our school’s neck!”

“No… I feel that she didn’t say it either.” A professor tried to say his thoughts, but Wang Hui glared at him. The professor immediately fell silent.

“She’s too much! She’s too arrogant!” Wang Hui slammed the desk.

After a while, he picked up the folder, opened the door, and walked towards the school leader’s office.

The others looked at each other and shook their heads, clearly feeling helpless.

It was not that everyone did not know that Wang Hui was arrogant and liked to light fires, but everyone knew that he was a trusted aide of the Lin family. Even the school leaders had to be polite to him, let alone ordinary people like them.

Wang Hui stayed in the school leader’s office for nearly fifteen minutes. When he came out again, he was already smiling.

“Come.” Wang Hui waved at the staff at the side. “Hasn’t that small garden not been sprayed with insecticides for a long time? Let the workers get the medicine now.”

“…” The staff was speechless. “Director Wang, who injects insecticide in the middle of the day? What if the students are poisoned?”

“Just go if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!” Wang Hui glared at the staff.

Hehe, alright. You’re the leader. The leader is amazing.?The staff spat in his heart and went to arrange it.

Soon, the workers surrounded the entire garden and began to spray pesticides. Wang Hui walked over smugly, but he realized that the bench was empty.

“Where’s Xia Wanyuan?” Wang Hui frowned.

“Professor Xia left long after you left,” the student beside him interrupted.

Under everyone’s baffled gazes, Wang Hui left angrily.

At this moment, Xia Wanyuan had already arrived at the foot of Longqi Mountain in a car.

As its name suggested, Longqi Mountain was like a sleeping dragon. The forest on the mountain was lush.

However, because there were too many mountains, the sunlight shone on them and seemed to dim, making the entire mountain look very mysterious.

Shen Qian had long been waiting at the foot of the mountain with his men. Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Shen Qian hurriedly welcomed her. “CEO Xia.”

“Mm, bring me there.”

Shen Qian looked hesitant. “CEO Xia, the mountain is cold. I can just bring the recording equipment in.”

Xia Wanyuan was delicate and precious. He was worried that something would happen to her.

“It’s okay.” Xia Wanyuan had to go in and take a look personally to be at ease. “Lead the way.”

However, Shen Qian stood still, his face filled with hesitation. “CEO Xia, why don’t you discuss it with CEO Jun?”

It was not that he did not want Xia Wanyuan to go in, but mainly because Jun Shiling had called just now to warn him that if he dared to let Xia Wanyuan in, he would be fired.

Shen Qian felt bitter. In order not to get fired, he could only bite the bullet and stop Xia Wanyuan.

“I understand.” Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling had definitely contacted Shen Qian in private, so she did not make things difficult for him.

She turned around and returned to the car to call Jun Shiling.

The phone rang once before it was picked up, but no one spoke for a long time.

“Jun Shiling,” Xia Wanyuan called out.

A soft snort came from the other end of the line. Still, no one spoke.

Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was angry.

She had just told Jun Shiling yesterday that she was coming to Longqi Mountain in two days, but Jun Shiling had not especially agreed.

However, last night, Xia Wanyuan had a dream. In the dream, her royal brother was trapped in a huge coffin. Her younger siblings stood beside the coffin with sad expressions.

Her royal brother’s eyes were open. In her dream, those eyes were filled with endless anticipation and desire, as if they were waiting for her. The sadness was too strong, so much so that it woke Xia Wanyuan up from the dream.

When Xia Wanyuan woke up, Shen Qian happened to send her a message saying that he had found an entrance to Long Qi Mountain.

Xia Wanyuan’s confusion was too strong. Jun Shiling had already gone to work at the company at that time. Xia Wanyuan sent him a WeChat message and took the closest plane to Linxi.

“I had a dream last night.” Xia Wanyuan wanted to explain to Jun Shiling.

“I don’t care what dream you had. You can’t enter the mountains.” Jun Shiling’s attitude was very unyielding.

Back then, Xia Wanyuan was buried at the foot of the mountain with blood all over her. It was still deeply etched in Jun Shiling’s mind. No matter what Xia Wanyuan said, he could not agree to her going in.

“Hubby.”

“Impossible.” Jun Shiling’s expression turned cold with non-negotiable determination. “You know very well why I don’t agree. This can’t be discussed.”

Xia Wanyuan’s heart was conflicted. On the one hand, she knew that Jun Shiling was concerned about her. On the other hand, she was worried about her younger brother. She had a feeling that the person buried in Longqi Mountain might really be her younger brother. She had to go in and find out.

“How about this?” Xia Wanyuan chose a compromise. “Aren’t you coming over in two days? I’ll go in after you come.”

“You make it sound like you won’t be in danger if I come over.” Jun Shiling still disagreed.

“That’s different. With you by my side, even if there’s any danger, I won’t have any regrets even if I die.”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Jun Shiling reprimanded Xia Wanyuan. “You’re talking nonsense!”

Xia Wanyuan’s eyes were smiling. “Okay?”

“Wait for me to come over.” Jun Shiling’s tone softened. “Before I come over, if you dare to go in, you…”

Jun Shiling spoke for a long time, but he could not say what he could do to Xia Wanyuan. In the end, he said, “I won’t eat for three days.”

“…” Xia Wanyuan burst out laughing at Jun Shiling’s teasing. “Then your threat is quite useful. I understand. I’ll wait for you to come.”

“Mm.” Jun Shiling’s tone softened. “It’s cold in the mountains. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

“Okay.”

Jun Shiling instructed Xia Wanyuan a few more things before hanging up.

At this moment, he pressed the bell. “Lin Jing, come in.”

The office door was pushed open and Lin Jing walked in with a folder. “CEO Jun, Xia Yu has already arrived at Continent F. Our people have already gone to pick him up.”

“Mm.” Jun Shiling signed the document in front of him. “Go and investigate something. A hundred years ago, what was the reason why the Chu family moved abroad? And the Feng family.”

Hearing Jun Shiling’s words, Lin Jing was shocked.?The outside world had always rumored that the two families had left because they had lost the power struggle. Could there be another secret??

He nodded respectfully. “Yes, I’ll do it immediately.” “Wait.” Jun Shiling stopped Lin Jing. “Pay attention to whether the Chu family and the Feng family had any contact with Longqi Mountain back then.”

“Yes.”
