Chapter Index

    “Is Senior Brother helping the teacher print something?” After being in the research institute for so long, the Rich Second Generation had learned to hide his arrogance.

    After all, he couldn’t do anything. Even after tagging along for so long, he still couldn’t understand the most basic equations. In a few days, it would be his first assessment since entering the institute. If he still couldn’t find someone to help him, he might be kicked out.

    His arrival this time also involved some special tactics. The Rich Second Generation knew that the senior brother was also from the agricultural university, and wanted to try to win him over with their shared background. If he was willing to help him through this difficult time, he wouldn’t be stingy with a generous reward.

    Unfortunately, the senior brother was holding evidence against the Zhou family that Rong Ziyan had sent over, so the Rich Second Generation’s deliberately ingratiating smile turned into something as terrifying as a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair.

    With a stern face, the senior brother’s tone could be described as sharp, “Who gave you permission to come here?”

    “This…” The Rich Second Generation was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to answer.

    The senior brother coldly sized him up, unobtrusively putting the newly printed evidence into a folder, urging him to leave the confidential printing room, “This is a special area, you can’t just enter without the teacher’s official seal.”

    “I will report this to the teacher and hold you accountable.”

    After speaking, the senior brother gestured for him to leave immediately, and then locked the confidential printing room door behind him, before heading towards the Boss Fat’s office with the folder.

    The Rich Second Generation’s reaction just now showed that he indeed couldn’t understand the chemical formulas above. After all, someone who didn’t know how he managed to get through four years of university, who had never even seen an animal treated, how could he possibly know about wryneck disease?

    Even though wryneck disease was a relatively common goose disease.

    Letting out a sigh of relief, the senior brother went to find his mentor with the folder, but he was cautious, so before leaving, he told Rong Ziyan about this detail, and also planned to mention it again when he met his mentor.

    He had long thought that the Zhou family was not good people. This matter could be a big deal or a small one, no matter what his mentor decided in the end, he would never let any mistakes happen before the matter was exposed.

    And Rong Ziyan, who received the senior brother’s message in the village, stared at his phone without saying a word for a long time.

    “Sir, has something changed?” Old Wu asked Rong Ziyan in a low voice.

    Rong Ziyan didn’t speak, but a subtle anger rose in his heart.

    The Rich Second Generation had gone at a very opportune time. Although Rong Ziyan knew that he couldn’t understand the formula, let alone what the ingredients represented.

    But what if he remembered it? As long as he mentioned it to his family even casually, the Zhou family, who was responsible for the feed, would immediately be on alert.

    Rong Ziyan had personally experienced how capable the Zhou family was at destroying evidence.

    Wasn’t it the same with his parents’ matter back then?

    Three lives, they died without clarity, and ultimately, they were all deemed accidents.

    But he was too young at that time, not to mention taking revenge, he couldn’t even understand the ins and outs of it. But it was different now.

    Rong Ziyan felt that he could do something. At the very least, he couldn’t let these villagers follow the same path he did back then.

    Because this new formula feed was a national collaboration, every buyer of the feed would be registered, and they would provide feedback on the feed’s effectiveness on time in the next quarter.

    After reporting to Boss Fat, Rong Ziyan directly reported the problem to the veterinary system, naming the Zhou family as the problematic producer, and applying for the system to intervene in the investigation.

    At the same time, Rong Ziyan took away all four bags of problematic feed from the village as evidence. And he planned to return to Beijing overnight.

    When the group came, they were relatively relaxed, but when they left, they were all tense.

    Luo Xia was very worried and asked Rong Ziyan in a low voice, “Rong, will we be okay later?”

    The Zhou family was deeply rooted in Beijing, and Luo Xia was just a child from an ordinary family, so he couldn’t help but feel scared.

    Rong Ziyan shook his head, “Don’t worry, this matter has nothing to do with any of you.”

    Luo Xia’s heart moved. Did Rong Ziyan plan to go it alone?

    “No way!” Luo Xia subconsciously grabbed Rong Ziyan’s arm, his fingers trembling slightly.

    This was not a joke. It was said that the reporter who exposed the gutter oil incident back then died without clarity. Then the reporter who exposed the toxic milk powder also disappeared.

    Not only that, but the person who reported the Yuzhang Academy also committed suicide, and so on.

    Almost every pioneer who wanted to shake a big tree with their own strength did not end up well.

    The Zhou family was powerful. If this matter was investigated as a team, Rong Ziyan, as the leader, might be noticeable, but not necessarily a target. But if he pushed everyone else away, then Rong Ziyan would be truly in danger.

    But Rong Ziyan said calmly to Luo Xia, “It doesn’t matter. Because regardless of whether this matter happened or not, the Zhou family would not let me go.”

    He did not explain further, making his point but no further.

    The less Luo Xia knew about these things, the safer he would be. After arriving in Beijing, he would disband the group and clear Luo Xia and Old Wu of any involvement.

    Rong Ziyan suddenly felt a bit fortunate that he hadn’t brought too many people when he came out, as the teacher had suggested. Otherwise, he would inevitably implicate others.

    After getting on the plane, Rong Ziyan looked at his relatively quiet WeChat before turning off his phone, knowing that once he got off the plane, he would be bombarded by a barrage of messages.

    At the very least, his veterinary department brothers would definitely ask about it.

    Rong Ziyan leaned back in his seat, feeling particularly relaxed.

    The System, which hadn’t spoken all along, finally said, “Host, don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

    Rong Ziyan chuckled softly: “Don’t be nervous, everything will be fine.”

    System: Aren’t you afraid the Zhou family will send someone…?

    Rong Ziyan: Afraid of what? Don’t we have the Frozen Beltfish?

    System: Damn, that makes perfect sense.

    As long as someone had a guilty conscience, it was an indiscriminate attack. If someone really wanted to do something to Rong Ziyan, he could just use it for self-defense.

    Thinking about it, it was quite strong. A hammer to the head would at least cause a concussion.

    Thinking this way, the system had miraculously calmed down.

    But now that the system had been successfully comforted by Rong Ziyan, the outside world was in complete chaos.

    Rong Ziyan’s hammer was too deadly.

    After the evidence was uploaded, the tragic state of the village geese instantly attracted the attention of the veterinary system.

    They didn’t even have time to hold a meeting to discuss the matter. The staff who received the feedback immediately reported to the highest leader, who then issued instructions.

    “Immediately recall all the feed on the market, suspend all of the Zhou family’s production lines, and immediately launch an investigation.”

    This order was issued extremely quickly. In less than an hour, the Zhou family’s two factories located in Yanjiao were sealed off.

    This was a big deal, after all, this feed was also being sold overseas. If it wasn’t handled properly, it wouldn’t just be a matter of money.

    Across the country, almost all personnel associated with the veterinary system received notification.

    The feed produced by the Zhou family was problematic and must be recalled immediately.

    Every village, major livestock farmers, large and small farms, and even some factories specializing in processed goose meat products, all received the news.

    And the keyword “Zhou family toxic feed” quickly topped the trending searches. In parallel with this, was Rong Ziyan, the person who made the report.

    At the agricultural university, Rong Ziyan’s former mentor and the department head turned pale after receiving the news.

    “Audacious, audacious! Is this kid crazy? Why didn’t he tell us!” The department head’s hand, holding the mouse, was trembling.

    This matter was too big. Rong Ziyan had single-handedly stirred up a huge storm, wasn’t he afraid of retaliation from the Zhou family later?

    Even a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. The Zhou family’s accumulation over several generations meant that even if they were in decline, they could easily take Rong Ziyan down with them.

    And the senior brother and the Boss Fat sat in the office, their faces equally grim.

    “Master, my junior brother was afraid that things would change…” The senior brother wanted to explain for Rong Ziyan, but was interrupted.

    “There’s no need to say it, if it wasn’t him, it would be us. He was afraid that things would drag on and change. After all, you were seen printing it.”

    “Rong Ziyan did the right thing. Don’t worry, I will find a way to stabilize the Zhou family. This matter cannot be separated from our research institute no matter what. It was my mistake in not recognizing them earlier. I won’t let anything happen to Rong Ziyan. His own teacher’s side isn’t easy to deal with either. With the Ji family’s protection, his safety can be guaranteed.”

    With Boss Fat’s promise, the senior brother felt a little relieved. He directly and decisively sent a message to Rong Ziyan.

    However, while those involved, who knew the inside story, were still relatively calm, those who could only hear rumors were not.

    Rong Ziyan’s class group had long been in a state of chaos. As soon as Rong Ziyan uploaded the information, someone had keenly noticed the signs and notified all members of the class group.

    “Damn, damn! Is Rong Dog this amazing?” At first, everyone was amazed by Rong Ziyan’s abilities.

    But as they talked, they started to get worried.

    Especially since a whole hour had passed, no matter how much they @ed him, Rong Ziyan had not appeared.

    “Wait, Rong Dog wouldn’t…”

    “Don’t talk nonsense! A scourge will live a thousand years. How could anything happen to Rong Dog?”

    Rong Ziyan hadn’t reported his whereabouts to anyone before. Everyone only knew that he was in the northeast and didn’t know that he had already taken a plane back to Beijing.

    The more they couldn’t find him, the more anxious they became. Rong Ziyan’s private messages had been spammed to the point of nearly crashing his phone.

    In addition, there were those who weren’t in the group, like Yao Lele and Xu Chuanzhi, who, after hearing about the matter, quickly contacted Rong Ziyan, wanting to confirm if he was safe.

    Therefore, when the plane landed, Rong Ziyan collected his luggage, got into the car that had come to pick him up with the four bags of feed, his phone had already been bombarded with countless messages to the point of almost crashing.

    It wasn’t until some time later that it slowly resumed operation.

    Rong Ziyan first called Boss Fat, telling him that he was on his way to the institute. Then, he replied to those friends who cared about him one by one, and indirectly reported his safety in the group.

    By the time he had finished replying, more than an hour had passed.

    The others were fine, knowing that he was busy and confirming his safety, they stopped talking.

    But there were many people in the class group, and each person’s message made it quite chaotic. Rong Ziyan could tell that everyone was particularly nervous.

    So he also said a few words of comfort.

    Among them, the class monitor was the most worried, privately messaging Rong Ziyan asking him, “What are you doing now? Tell the driver to be careful on the way back! The Zhou family are not good people.”

    Rong Ziyan nodded, “Don’t worry!”

    It was a little past two in the afternoon when Rong Ziyan arrived at the institute. Boss Fat first received the toxic feed he had brought back and immediately sent it for re-inspection. Then he instructed Rong Ziyan to go and rest.

    “You must be tired from the trip. Don’t worry about anything else, just get a good night’s sleep.”

    “Thank you, teacher.” Rong Ziyan obediently accepted Boss Fat’s arrangements.

    As a result, as soon as he went out, he was grabbed by several senior brothers.

    “Not bad, Junior Brother! You went out and immediately caused a big stir!” One of the senior brothers put his arm around Rong Ziyan’s shoulder, his intention seemingly to accompany him back to the dorm.

    Rong Ziyan understood, that in these special times, they didn’t want him to be alone, and silently noted the senior brothers’ kindness in his heart.

    But since dogs are a family, ignoring the inner warmth, these senior brothers and Rong Ziyan were essentially no different, all were old dogs who came out to wreak havoc on the world after covering themselves with half a human skin.

    After confiscating the boneless duck feet that Rong Ziyan brought back, they also forced Rong Ziyan to hand over more flavorful special products.

    But Rong Ziyan was in a hurry when he came, and really didn’t bring any gifts.

    After thinking for a while, he finally took out the Screaming Little Yellow Chicken from the lottery and put it in the hands of the senior brothers.

    “What, what does this mean?” The senior brothers thought there was some kind of code, and subconsciously squeezed it.

    Then they heard a series of crisp “cluck cluck” sounds, and the children’s song that plays on the ten yuan-an-hour rocking cars in the park every summer, “Calabash brothers, calabash brothers, seven gourds on one vine…”
