CHAPTER 1687: CHAPTER 1382: WE’LL SEE ABOUT THAT! (PART 2)

Taylor, in a moment of urgency, slammed the table and threatened, "Do you still want to return to your alma mater in the future! And all of you, do you really not care whether you can go back or not!"

Taylor’s last line was a direct threat to everyone in Lai Yin’s Team.

Unfortunately, his threat was like a stone sinking into the sea, stirring no waves at all.

Lai Yin’s Team was indifferent even to family relationships; they considered the team their family, centered their lives around research, and couldn’t care less about such threats.

"If my alma mater is as you say, constantly threatening its students to achieve its goals,"

Lai Yin looked at Taylor coldly, "then I would rather sever ties with it!"

Taylor was stunned by Lai Yin’s ruthless words.

He used research success, team interests, and even the alma mater as threats, yet Lai Yin feared none of these. What else could make Lai Yin yield?

Even Tony was dumbfounded.

Soon after, Tony looked angrily and with hostility at Bai Xiaosheng and the others.

Everything was going well until Bai Xiaosheng’s arrival made it impossible to continue!

This bastard, a jinx!

Tony cursed Bai Xiaosheng in his heart.

At this moment, watching helplessly as the deal went sour, Tony was truly unwilling to let it end.

"Mr. Lai Yin, Mr. Taylor, everyone calm down." Tony couldn’t hold back and spoke up to mediate, offering a forced smile to Lai Yin, "Mr. Lai Yin, we can’t be so absolute, Haru Medical College is your alma mater after all, there’s some sentiment involved, how can you just cut all ties..."

Lai Yin gave him a cold look, "Why can’t I?"

Bai Xiaosheng had opened Lai Yin’s psychological barrier, taking the first step, and now, Lai Yin steeled his heart completely.

Tony never expected him to be so resolute, and couldn’t find the words to ease the situation.

Just then, the door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and a deep, resonant voice came through, radiating authority.

"Lai Yin, what audacity! Who are you trying to sever ties with, are you not even recognizing me, your teacher!"

With this angry shout, several more people walked in from outside the reception room.

Bai Xiaosheng turned to look.

The newcomers were led by two individuals.

One was an elderly white man dressed in a suit, with graying hair and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The other, also dressed formally, was younger with an Asian face, although he was somewhat lean both in face and stature, his gaze nonetheless sharp.

Seeing the glasses-wearing man, Taylor immediately stood up respectfully and greeted first, "Vice President Logan!"

Lai Yin also changed his expression and respectfully addressed him, "Mentor!"

Mr. Logan, the Vice President of Haru Medical College, and Lai Yin’s mentor!

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but scrutinize the man.

Everyone else in the room who were seated stood up.

The members of Lai Yin’s Team stood up because of Logan.

Whereas the people beside Tony, belonging to his employer, respectfully gazed at the lean man.

"You remember I’m your teacher, huh, Lai Yin! You’ve become quite capable now, even disregarding your alma mater, right? And all of you!"

Vice President Logan coldly snorted, his gaze swept over Lai Yin’s Team and finally landed on Bai Xiaosheng.

He examined Bai Xiaosheng with a peculiar gaze, "Who are you?"

"Mr. Logan, this young man is the so-called investor that Lai Yin found, he’s also the one who incited Lai Yin to stop negotiating with us. Because of him, Mr. Lai Yin momentarily lost his voice, please don’t blame Mr. Lai Yin too much." Tony quickly "explained".

He was indeed adept at speech, shifting all the blame onto Bai Xiaosheng, "exonerating" Lai Yin.

Unfortunately, Lai Yin glanced at Tony with disgust and did not appreciate his help.

"Oh? You’re the investor Lai Yin found?" Logan seemed surprised, sizing up Bai Xiaosheng, with an expression of mixed amusement, "From your age, you’re probably investing with family money."

"Lai Yin’s friend? It could only be Lai Yin who would fool around like this, a grown adult befriending a child!"

"Inviting you to be his investor?" Logan shook his head repeatedly at Bai Xiaosheng, seemingly not taking it seriously.

"Young man, listen to me, the capital and market involved here are not within your reach!"

Logan casually waved a hand at Bai Xiaosheng, "You may leave."

Before Bai Xiaosheng could speak, Lai Yin suddenly became anxious, "Mentor Logan, he..."

"Lai Yin!" Vice President Logan’s face darkened, raising his voice to interrupt.

He cut off Lai Yin’s words first, his expression showing some anger, "Have you made enough fuss! I heard you from outside the door just now, saying what, cutting off all ties with your alma mater? Good, very good, my student! Are you disregarding me, your teacher!"

"Have you forgotten who got your project approved, who helped you apply for research funding, and who arranged the venue for you!"

"Now, not even listening to your mentor’s words? Ungrateful!"

Logan unceremoniously berated Lai Yin in front of everyone.

This left Lai Yin unable to retort.

Indeed, from the time their research project was approved to securing venues and funding, his mentor’s support was undeniable.

Not only Lai Yin, but the entire Lai Yin’s Team had nothing to say, even straightforward Grace remained silent.

Bai Xiaosheng observed Logan.

This mentor who had been kind to Lai Yin and was now the vice president, his arrival indeed brought complications, making matters quite tricky.

Logan’s subtle changes of expression were also all captured by Bai Xiaosheng, causing his mind to stir.

"Red Lotus, search for all information related to Vice President Logan of Haru Medical College for me."
