Chapter 999 Secret Investigation
Even President Rao was surprised at Guan Ruyan's performance at the defense. What happened to Guan Ruyan? As a young talent at Nandu Medical University, his performance today was obviously unsatisfactory. Even if he was ill, he was unable to answer the other party's questions, and all the questions were about the content of his research topic.

"Xiao Guan, is everything okay?"

Principal Rao couldn't help but ask with concern.

Guan Ruyan was really anxious now, but he tried not to show it, and thought of an excuse in a hurry: "The computer might be infected with a virus, and a lot of data was deleted inexplicably. Sorry, it's really a mess today. My assistant had a health accident, I'm not in good health, and my computer is now infected with a virus. I don't know what's going on."

He was very smart, and the few words he said deliberately conveyed an implicit message, as if someone was deliberately making trouble to get him and his assistant into trouble today.

This will invisibly divert everyone's attention, and everyone will involuntarily shift their focus from academic issues to new questions: What exactly happened that caused Professor Guan to be in such a mess today?

"No need to look for information, it's okay. Everyone here today is a senior scholar in this field. You just need to simply answer people's questions according to your own ideas." Principal Rao reminded Guan Ruyan not to stay in the predicament and to get out of it in time.

Principal Rao was right. All those present were senior experts in this field, otherwise they would not have raised such sharp and profound questions, so Guan Ruyan did not dare to speak casually.

As long as you talk too much, it is easy to reveal flaws. If you have truly studied these things in depth, even if you forget the exact data, people will know that what you said is almost correct and will think that you have hit the nail on the head. If you are a fake, others will know your level as soon as you open your mouth.

American scholars are now wondering, what is going on? This is just a question of detail, and more in-depth questions are not mentioned later?

Perhaps due to cultural differences, the Americans were unable to understand the predicament that Professor Guan was in. He remained unyielding and spoke too bluntly.

"Professor Guan, I'd like to know if you wrote the paper I mentioned? Did you lead the design of this project?"

Because Professor Guan’s performance now has caused the American professor to have doubts. Since you wrote the paper and designed the topic, how come you don’t know such critical details?

Guan Ruyan hesitated for a moment and replied, "Of course, I led the entire project, but the paper was drafted by my assistant, and I was responsible for the final revision. As there are too many projects and papers, and it has been a long time, some data can no longer be remembered, and many details are not handled by me personally. I only control the design of the project from a macro perspective, and we have a large team for the specific experimental operations."

This official and vague answer obviously failed to convince the scholars present. Since Professor Guan did not give a direct answer, the American scholars had no choice. It was meaningless to ask further. The American professor said, "Okay, but I find it hard to believe that you designed this project yourself."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the scholars in the audience looked at the American professor and then at Professor Guan. These immature words caused a huge wave in the hearts of the experts. Yes, how could he not know? Unless he was not the one leading the project, how could he not know?

If no one says something directly, everyone may try to deal with it vaguely. But once someone brings it up, everyone will re-examine it carefully and the result will be another matter.

At this time, Yang Ping also had many doubts in his mind, but he kept them to himself for the time being, because after all, they were just doubts. He decided to find Lu Xiaolu when he had time to understand the truth of the matter and ask what was going on. Guan Ruyan was the designer of the project, and Lu Xiaolu was only an executive assistant. Why could Guan Ruyan not answer the key technology, but Lu Xiaolu could tell it at will?

During the many contacts between Yang Ping and Lu Xiaolu in the past, Lu Xiaolu had discussed with Yang Ping the question that Guan Ruyan could not answer today. However, Lu Xiaolu had a very deep and unique understanding of this issue.

At this point in the meeting, although everyone had some doubts in their hearts, they would not pursue Professor Guan relentlessly. After all, Professor Guan was not feeling well, and his assistant had just fainted in the bathroom and his computer had been hacked. Things were already bad, and there was no need to add fuel to the fire.

The next meeting still had to continue, but it was just a formality with only the brief mention of the topic. Even the questions asked were superficial and insignificant, so the meeting ended hastily.

President Rao was very unhappy, but he tried hard not to show it on his face. However, Academician Xiang's unhappiness was clearly written on his face. Guan Ruyan's performance today was really excessive. From a scholar's perspective, it was simply terrible and should not have been like this. It was in stark contrast to his usual image of a young talent.

However, in order to protect young talents, Academician Xiang did not say anything. Everyone took their positions one after another. Principal Rao concernedly instructed Guan Ruyan: "Xiao Guan, take care of your health. You can't work while sick next time. Look, you and Xiao Lu are both so sick today, but you still have this meeting. If you are sick, tell us in advance and we can postpone it."

"Thank you, Principal Rao. I'm really sorry about what happened today and for causing trouble to everyone. How about we find another time to defend this topic?" Guan Ruyan's emotional intelligence is still very high. Even so, he still wants to keep the situation stable and appear calm.

Principal Rao thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. You have done so many projects, and everyone knows your level. Today, both you and Xiaolu are sick, and the computer data is lost. You have been too busy with family affairs recently, so you may be a little confused. But you need to adjust your mood as soon as possible. It's okay to take a few days of proper rest."

Although President Rao was very dissatisfied with Guan Ruyan's performance today, he could not deny him as a person or his academic achievements just because of one mistake. The more so, the more President Rao should encourage him, give him support and care. Even if there are any questions, he must find out clearly behind their backs. If you are not careful about this kind of thing, it is easy to hurt young talents and discourage them.

"Thank you, Principal." Guan Ruyan said with great emotion.

After the meeting, President Rao asked Academician Xiang and Yang Ping to sit in his office for a while and wait for him while he went to see off a few experts. It was a rare occasion for Yang Ping to come to Nandu Medical University, and they wanted to have a good chat with Yang Ping. Although Sanbo Hospital is no longer a directly affiliated hospital of Nandu Medical University, the cooperative relationship still exists.

It was around seven when President Rao finished his work. There were not many people in the office building at this time. In President Rao's office, the three of them sat down to have a good chat. Academician Xiang saw that there were no outsiders around: "Let me say a few words. I feel that Guan Ruyan is not normal. This is not the first time. There have been many times. There were a few times when I talked to him about his research project. I always felt that something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong. His behavior today made me suddenly realize it. But first of all, I declare that I just feel that I don't have any evidence, so what I say today is limited to the three of us."

"Go ahead!" Principal Rao seemed to be in deep thought.

Academician Xiang pondered for a moment: "I have come into contact with Guan Ruyan and Lu Xiaolu more than once or twice, and I feel more and more that Lu Xiaolu's academic skills far surpass Guan Ruyan. I prefer to believe that many papers and projects are from Lu Xiaolu, because every time I chat with Lu Xiaolu and talk about the projects, his understanding is very profound, while Guan Ruyan only touches the surface." Principal Rao did not speak. He paced back and forth in the office, as if thinking about something.

"Professor Yang, what do you think?"

This matter is of great importance. If there is any misunderstanding, it will not only hurt an outstanding young talent, but will also cause a chain reaction, causing irreparable psychological trauma to the entire talent team.

"I don't have much contact with Guan Ruyan, but I have more contact with Lu Xiaolu. Lu Xiaolu is indeed a rare talent. He has a very broad and profound grasp of the knowledge in his professional field, and is also very keen on the development direction of the profession. Moreover, the problem that Professor Guan has not explained clearly in today's meeting, Lu Xiaolu has already explained it clearly when I had an informal chat with him. Another point is that I think as the leader of the project, even if I am only responsible for the design and leave the specific work to the people below, I will not be unable to answer today's questions without information." Yang Ping could only express his opinions objectively, only state the facts, and not make subjective judgments, otherwise it would be easy to mislead everyone.

Principal Rao paced back and forth again, then sat down on the sofa. It was already time to get off work, and because it was Friday, the entire floor was very quiet and no one else would come to Principal Rao's office.

"This matter is of great importance and we cannot act rashly, but we cannot ignore it. How about this? I will arrange it. Let Guan Ruyan make an academic summary in the form of a defense meeting and defend all his important academic works. The reason is the new process before applying for outstanding young scientists. In addition, I will select all the outstanding young scientists candidates of the new term to hold this defense meeting, so that there will be no suspicion of targeting him personally. We have to consider the experts who will attend the defense meeting. Academician Xiang, please come to the clinic in person. Professor Yang, please also take the time to attend. As for the other defense experts, I will invite a few top young talents in this profession, especially those who dare to speak out. Old-fashioned good guys will definitely not work."

Principal Rao handled the matter with great caution. After all, it’s all about feelings now, and one cannot let feelings ruin the future of an outstanding young talent.

"This is the best way. It won't leave any traces, and we can investigate the matter thoroughly." Academician Xiang agreed. It seems that President Rao still has a solution.

Yang Ping also agreed with this plan. This plan can not only play an investigative role, but also in case it is a misunderstanding, it will not cause negative impact, because this is a normal defense meeting and all outstanding young candidates go through the process.

"But today's matter can only be controlled within the scope of the three of us." Principal Rao suggested.

This matter is of great importance and any carelessness could easily lead to misunderstandings, so everyone knows its importance. Otherwise, the three of them would not have gathered in the office to chat privately for so long after the meeting. After the discussion, the three of them went to the school cafeteria to eat.
-
At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, all the free medical staff in Sanbo Hospital took action. Some had already run out, and others gathered around the windows that overlooked the road surrounding the hospital. Everyone was looking forward to Dr. Wen's streak for a long time. Everyone was very enthusiastic. The doctors who were performing surgery in the operating room were asking the doctors in the audience whether Dr. Wen's streak had started.

Many people ran to the first floor of the hospital, but how come they didn't see Dr. Wen? Wasn't he supposed to run naked at 3 o'clock? Which door did he start from? The problem was that none of the four doors, east, south, west or north, could see him.

Director Zhao walked down the main road of the hospital with a sullen face, followed by four or five security guards holding explosion-proof forks. Director Zhao cursed, "You all know Wen Ruzheng, right? He forked me without thinking, then wrapped me in a blanket and took me to the administration building. He is really lawless. I thought there was really no way to control him."

"Be careful not to hurt him. The fork should protect him, right? He won't be hurt, right?" Director Zhao stopped and turned back to check the fork.

The security guard said: "The plan is all wrapped in thick cotton cloth, so it won't hurt anyone."

"That's good. Be careful! Don't let him fall. It's bad to fall anywhere. If you lose your grip and he runs away, don't chase him. There are many cars outside. He might run to the driveway to avoid you."

The security guard said: "I understand. We are cooperating well and there will be no accidental injuries."

Director Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Let's not use the forks. When we see him, we will surround him from all sides and hug him directly. Then, wrap him up with a blanket and carry him to the administrative building."

The security guard was reluctant to use all the forks he had prepared.

"Throw away the forks first and catch people with your bare hands." Director Zhao personally took the forks back from the security guards and threw them to the roadside one by one.

"Let's go and catch the guy. Why don't we see many people?" Director Zhao was puzzled. He could see the naked runner last time, but why didn't he see anyone today when the target was so big?

Several security guards who were sent out to look for people all replied that they had not seen Dr. Wen. This was strange. This was obviously not in line with Dr. Wen's character. He would never escape in the face of danger.

Not only were the security guards looking for someone, but many onlookers, especially students, were looking for Wen Ruzheng everywhere. Why was he nowhere to be found? How come the protagonist didn't show up in such a lively scene? Could he have escaped at the critical moment? That was impossible.

In the hospital’s group chat, a message from Wen Ruzheng popped up: I have completed the bet at three o’clock this morning and ran three laps around the hospital naked!

The three o'clock in the notice he sent was not three o'clock in the afternoon, but three o'clock in the morning. It was actually three o'clock in the morning. Whether there is any witness or not, no one saw it. You can't just say he ran away.

The group immediately became boiling with anger. Everyone was very angry. This was clearly a scam.

I never lie. Just because you didn't see it doesn't prove that I didn't run away. Zhang Lin and Fatty Liang testified at the time. You can rest assured that I, Wen Ruzheng, keep my word and will never run away. Three o'clock in the morning is the best time to run naked, both from a biological and sociological point of view, so I chose three o'clock in the morning, and there is a sufficient basis for this - Wen Ruzheng posted a lot of articles proudly.
