Chapter 1076: Does Your Face Hurt? If It Doesn’t, I’ll Make Sure It Does

Tong Xieyi.

Sheng Yang pondered. Was this considered a case of a thief crying thief?

She called her earlier, so what was her motive?

…

When they found Tong Xieyi, she was abnormally calm. This made Sheng Yang rub her chin, slightly surprised. She felt that Tong Xieyi was acting differently from previously.

Although Tong Xieyi was not a good person, she had always felt guilty when she did something wrong before. Perhaps it was because she was not a bad person.

However, this was just Sheng Yang’s personal doubt, so she did not say it out loud.

“That’s right. I was the one who took Ding Xing away, but it was only him. The disappearance of those other people before has nothing to do with me.”

Sheng Yang and Lan Ran didn’t doubt Tong Xieyi’s words. Although she had deliberately imitated the other person’s method, it was indeed different from usual this time. The other person had done everything flawlessly before, but this time, there was a flaw.

It was very likely that she wanted to hide her actions from the public eye, and if they were to be exposed, she would pin the blame on the culprit responsible for the past kidnappings.

Unexpectedly, she did not frame anyone and admitted it herself.

Tong Xieyi was still lacking.

“What about Ding Xing?” Sheng Yang asked quietly.

Tong Xieyi had brought Sheng Yang and Lan Ran to a place. It was Lanca Research Institute. She led them straight to the third floor of the research institute. There was a room here, but ordinary people didn’t know about it.

One had to scan one’s pupils and fingerprint to unlock it.

Sheng Yang and Lan Ran looked at each other.

This place was very high-level. Sheng Yang didn’t even know about it even though she had spent some time here.

Only Zhou Rusheng, Zhou Feiyang, and the others could enter this secret room.

“Do you want to solve it or should I?” Although there were multiple unlocks, they weren’t invulnerable. Lan Ran looked at Sheng Yang with a calm expression, knowing that she was already itching to give it a try.

“Let me do it.” Sheng Yang walked forward. Lan Ran thought that she would rely on her skills, but who knew that she would actually remove the unlock screen?

It was so simple and crude!

Lan Ran was dumbfounded.

Uh, it was said that women followed their husbands. It seemed that this was a little like Young Master Yi’s style.

However, it was quite difficult to dismantle the screen…

While Sheng Yang was dismantling it, Lan Ran had been observing Tong Xieyi.

The two of them had a clear division of labor. There was a tacit understanding between them that didn’t need to be uttered.

Lan Ran was also a little suspicious. This girl’s expression was too calm. Any normal person would be shocked to see Sheng Yang disassembling the lock screen, but she had no expression at all. She was simply… like a robot.

After unlocking the door, Lan Ran opened it. It was a dark room without a trace of light. Lan Ran turned on the flashlight and saw Ding Xing hanging high up in the air. His face was pale, and his eyelids were closed. It was unknown how long he had been suffering.

The news spread throughout the research institute.

The research institute was blamed for this incident.

The upper echelons of Lanca Research Institute no longer treated the matter as if it had nothing to do with them. They were even a little anxious. Previously, Sheng Yang had said that she wanted to establish a department to assist the police station. Now, this made the plans even more urgent.

They all went to look for Zhou Rusheng. Zhou Rusheng was both angry and amused. “Back then, you questioned her ability and identity. Now, you suddenly agree with her?”

“Dean Zhou, don’t make sarcastic remarks… The police station will be coming tomorrow to investigate. Rumors are spreading outside. This issue is provoking our research institute!”

Zhou Rusheng spread his hands. “What can I do? She’s determined to get married first.”

Initially, he ignored Sheng Yang’s thoughts and thought that she was too self-righteous. But now, it was clear that he had underestimated her.

Zhou Rusheng was also filled with regret. He thought that he had a sense of propriety when dealing with talents. He did not expect to go overboard this time.

Then, someone else looked for Zhou Rusheng. “Dean Zhou, we can’t let others delay our progress. The department can still be established as scheduled. I think Zhou Feiyang is qualified to be the department head.”
