Chapter 169 Fortunately it was a false alarm

That afternoon, Ye Lianshi received an email from the dean, asking him to come to the institute's headquarters to discuss something with him in person.

This email made Ye Lianshi uneasy. He showed the email to Chenchen and discussed the matter with her: "I told the dean about your ability. Does he think that we are invincible together, so he wants to separate us?"

Zhang Haochen also had this idea, but she didn't think things had gotten this dangerous. Ye Zi just said "separate", and after they separated, they should be defeated one by one. However, the people from the research institute didn't get any evidence. Zhao Yuxi took away an orange tree, and Gu Tingzhou took away a pot of camellia. There was nothing wrong with the tree and the flowers, so it shouldn't be necessary to have a decisive battle so early.

Did the institute find other evidence? Could it be that my partners were caught by the institute and then they betrayed me? That shouldn't be the case. If that happened, Yang Shuyu would definitely notify me to escape. Since Yang Shuyu didn't notify me to escape, it proves that she thinks I am still safe, so I must stay calm!

"You are the dean of the second-level branch of the research institute. Will they show mercy to you?"

"Yes." Ye Lianshi never doubted whether he would show mercy. Maybe the dean would not show mercy to him because he was the dean of the branch, but he was the spokesperson of the Star Lord. As long as this identity remained, the dean would not act rashly.

"In that case, it's easy. I'll use your identity to enter the institute and meet the dean. You haven't traveled far away for a long time, so you can take this opportunity to travel around the country and have a long vacation, okay?"

"Not good. The director of the institute is a Level 5 Ancient. I'm afraid your ability will be ineffective on him."

Ye Lianshi had told Zhang Haochen the classification standards of the Ancients. Logically, these classification standards should not be told to outsiders, but since they got married, he never regarded her as an outsider. This was a person who could make him willingly break the rules.

Zhang Haochen said disapprovingly: "It's not as dangerous as you think. The dean may not attack me. I am using your identity. What's more, the level 5 ancients are not too scary. The gap between me and them is not as big as you think."

"But I can't let you face the dean alone. It's better for me to go with you."

"Just listen to me this time, and we can go together next time. If I want to leave, the dean can't keep me."

"But……"

Zhang Haochen interrupted him, "No buts. This is not a critical moment of life and death. The one who went to see the dean was Ye Lianshi, not Zhang Haochen. Outsiders can't tell the difference between us. Although they all know what your ability is, you have never used it. It is easier for me to pretend to be you than to pretend to be anyone else in the world. Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in your kindness as always."

"No, it's not that I don't trust you. I don't trust the director of the institute. He must have something extraordinary to be the director, and we don't know what his ability is. If he can see through all the disguises, then wouldn't you be in danger? He will show mercy to me, but he won't show mercy to you. Moreover, if you use my identity to meet him and get discovered, he will be even angrier."

"I have a very powerful friend, even more powerful than the director of the research institute. She didn't notify me to retreat, probably because she thought the matter was not that dangerous. So, let me go this time. We exchange identities and can avoid being ambushed. What if after you go to the research institute, they send a few female ancients to besiege me, wouldn't I be in danger?" Zhang Haochen knew Ye Zi too well. In his eyes, my safety was more important than his.

Ye Lianshi suddenly realized. He didn't want Chenchen to put himself in danger, but if the institute planned to defeat them one by one, there were only two ways to deal with it, one was to act together, the other was to exchange identities. She said that she had a friend who was more powerful than the dean. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I hope it's a good thing, as long as it can help her.

"Yes. You go to the institute to meet the dean, and I'll wait for you near the institute, so that even if something unexpected happens, we can help each other."

"Alright."

Zhou Xutong summoned Ye Lianshi back to the institute not to eliminate him, at least he had no such idea at the moment. Today, the regularity project was officially launched. Summoning the dean of the branch institute at this time, on the one hand, could highlight his importance to the dean of the branch institute. On the other hand, since the project had already started, the dean of the branch institute could go and inspect it first and then decide whether to stay. "Dean Ye, have you heard of the regularity project?"

"No." Zhang Haochen was sure that she had never heard of regularity engineering. She handled all of Ye Zi's work, and the words "regularity engineering" did not appear in those work documents.

"That means our confidentiality measures are pretty good. Take a look at this information and tell me, do you want to go to the Academy of Sciences?"

Zhang Haochen certainly didn't want to go to the Academy of Sciences, unless they were together, but that was unlikely. In addition, as far as she knew, there were many ancients in the Academy of Sciences, and it would be extremely risky to rush in rashly. Even if the couple acted together, they might not be able to escape unscathed.

However, no matter whether she used her own identity or Ye Zi's identity, she could not reject the dean immediately. She had to at least read the information, ponder for a while, and then reject the dean tactfully. It would be best if she could give some reasons and pretend to be embarrassed, so that she seemed to be somewhat helpless.

Zhang Haochen flipped through the information from front to back and then from back to front, patiently reading it twice, but her answer never changed.

During the time she was reading the materials, she thought of an extremely brilliant reason, and she believed that the dean would not be able to refute her.

"Zhang Haochen is still waiting for me at home, so I won't go to the Academy of Sciences."

"Since you have already made your choice, I will not force you. There is nothing wrong with putting family first. Starting a family and building a career is the life goal of most people. You are no exception, and neither am I. It's just that I haven't found the right person yet."

Before coming to the institute, Zhang Haochen had seen a photo of the dean. She thought the photo was taken when the dean was young, but after arriving, she found that the dean was very young.

Although she is now in a disguised state and cannot use her abilities too much so as not to disturb the other party, but from what the naked eye can see, the dean looks very much like a successful person. His appearance, height, and aura roughly fit people's imagination of a "successful person."

Tall and handsome, handsome, elegant, these adjectives can all be used to describe the dean. However, in this era, appearance is not important at all, and the essence hidden under the appearance is the most important. What exactly is the dean's ability?
Zhang Haochen felt that she could no longer suppress her curiosity. With just a little bit of strength, she could see the dean's ability and even obtain his ability, but this might also make her disguise ineffective.

She is fully confident that she can deal with the dean, but once the war starts, Ye Zi will definitely come to the institute. Will he be in danger? Even if both of us can escape successfully, our daily life will be completely different from before.

It is not worthwhile to affect our lives because of my selfish desires. Zhang Haochen carefully weighed the pros and cons and finally decided not to do anything.

"Dean, do you have such troubles too?"

"Everyone has troubles. Before you go home, would you like to bring a small gift to your wife? Youlong City is very big, it can accommodate the lives of tens of millions of people, and it can probably accommodate a little surprise for your wife."

"Thank you for reminding me, Dean. If you hadn't mentioned it, I might not have remembered it."

"You're welcome. It's just a trivial suggestion."
