2306 Feng Yu Was Innocently Involved
Qiao Nian saw it in Xie Tingyun’s notebook, so when she saw that Ji Ziyin had coincidentally chosen the ‘semiconductor light source technology’, she especially mentioned it.
Qiao Nian spent three days in the archive room of the research institute to find the relevant archives of the experiment back then. Then, she brought the evidence to Martin.
However, even if she could prove that someone had solved the semiconductor light source technology 20 years ago, it could not prove that Ji Ziyin could not ‘coincidentally’ solve this problem 20 years later.
This was also why Martin emphasized that the evidence was not enough to prove that Ji Ziyin stole the research results.
Qiao Nian understood this.
She came today not to hammer Ji Ziyin to death, but to tell her that what she stole would always be stolen. Since she wanted to steal, she had to be mentally prepared to be exposed at any time!
Today it was Martin who questioned her.
In the future, countless people would discover her ‘secret’.
She would always hide her secrets like a rat in the gutter. After all, holding fear of the future was much more painful than seeing a bloodied knife.
Martin looked at her departing figure, unable to recover for a long time.

As it turned out, Qiao Nian was right.
Gu Hengbo informed Ji Ziyin the moment Martin hung up.
Ji Ziyin was clearly flustered. Fortunately, she kept her composure.
She immediately looked for Ji Hongyuan and Ji Xiao to discuss countermeasures.
“Why would Martin suddenly say that?” Ji Xiao frowned. He did expect Ji Ziyin to fail so quickly.
Ji Ziyin looked at the old man in the wheelchair and pursed her lips. “I also want to know how Mr. Martin found out.”
Ji Hongyuan was experienced. How could he not understand what Ji Ziyin meant? Hence, his face darkened and he said in an unfriendly tone, “I can guarantee with my life that the contents of the notebook have never been leaked! As for why Martin said that, I’m not sure either.”
“I’m not doubting you.”
Ji Ziyin still had to use Ji Hongyuan to stand up for her in the Ji family. She did not want to offend him at this juncture.
Seeing that Ji Hongyuan was exasperated, she pondered for a moment and said, “Previously, Feng Yu looked for me and privately warned me not to cross the line.”
As expected, Ji Hongyuan’s attention was diverted. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly said with a serious expression, “I don’t think he has read the contents of the notebook. However, Feng Yu is the dean of the First Research Institute, after all. He might know some things. So, he suspects you, but he doesn’t have enough evidence to prove that you stole it. He can only warn you. If he really has evidence to prove that you used the results of another person’s research, will he cover it up for you?”
Ji Hongyuan nodded. “Yes, he won’t cover up for you! So he doesn’t have any evidence to prove that you stole it.
“But Feng Yu suspects you, so he went to look for Martin.”
Ji Ziyin’s expression did not look good as she clenched her fists.
“Feng Yu must have told Martin. Martin has been his friend for decades. He’ll definitely give him face.”
Ji Hongyuan thought that he had guessed everything and concluded proudly, “That’s why he doesn’t want to see you!”
