Chen Beixuan’s eyes, cold and sharp, narrowed as he spoke with full authority, "I want to see her."
"Sorry," Su Xu sent an email to his superiors, "Even if your old master comes today, he won’t be able to see her."

The incident with Bai Lian has affected not only the Mu Family but also the Xu Family and the Bai Family.
The next day, the web of relationships currently surrounding Bai Lian was uncovered.
On the third day, the research institute collaborating with the Mu Family was affected, and Xu En’s entire industry had to undergo an investigation.
Although the matter hadn’t gone public, Mu Yining had also received a notification from the higher-ups.
She was now restarting the Mu Family’s four research institutes and had obtained a batch of funds. Aside from the three heavy industry research institutes still under construction, the pharmaceutical research institute was already not on the right track.
But just at this time, the medical research institute was ordered to halt its operations.
In recent days, Jiangjing’s actions had indeed been significant; without the news of Bai Lian, the Mu Family was naturally in the dark about what exactly had gone wrong in the chain of events.
But the official document had already reached the research institute cooperating with the Mu Family and Xuan Kang.
The other three heavy industry research institutes, also providing machinery for the sea water purification project, were still on standby.
The Mu Family convened an emergency meeting first thing in the morning.
Apart from Mu Yining, no one knew the news about Bai Lian, and they were all in a state of panic.
Mu Yining didn’t hide the situation from these people and directly told them about Bai Lian’s temporary status. Because of Bai Lian, they all had to cooperate with the investigation.
Those present were shrewd; as soon as Mu Yining had spoken, they knew the situation was serious.
In the scientific research community’s reshuffling, even a large family could not withstand it, let alone the Mu Family. Over a decade ago, the Mu Family had already suffered a severe blow; this time, they absolutely could not follow in the same footsteps.
Mu Zhendong’s face was ashen as he rose to his feet, "I remember Bai Lian is not in the Mu family genealogy, she does not count as a member of the Mu Family."
What he meant was, he wanted Mu Yining not to get involved in this mess.
To protect oneself wisely.
After the ordeal of more than a decade ago, the Mu Family was truly frightened.
"Impossible," Mu Yining looked up, her voice resolute, "I will tell Dad to help Alian gather evidence."
Mu Zhendong pursed his lips, looking at Mu Yining as if she were crazy, "Mu Yining, now is not the time to be angry with me. Whether it’s her affair or not, if she gets into trouble, our Mu Family cannot escape involvement."
It was not the question of whether Bai Lian was in trouble or not, but Mu Zhendong and the others knew that if Bai Lian were the only suspect.
In the end, whether it was her or not, it could very likely end up being her.
