Ji Li truly did not expect to hear such a sentence from Yan Ruoxue, her expression changed, "Professor Yan?"
Before this, Ji Li had no contact with Yan Ruoxue whatsoever.
Because the Ji Family had always stipulated that only after reaching adulthood one could begin preparations for various experiments.
Only a small portion of the Ji Family members chose to go out into the world to practice like Ji Xun did.
Another part consisted of those who, due to their parents’ merits, were directly promoted from the Inner Court.
The rest were like Ji Li, who had to attend university while participating in experiments at the Ji Family.
For many years, Wen Fengmian was the only exception.
The several experimental classes at Imperial Capital University all collaborated with the Ji Family.
As it happened, Yan Ruoxue’s research was also in the field of biochemistry, and she also held a professorship at Imperial Capital University.
Although Ji Li had never met Yan Ruoxue, she had heard Ji Yihang mention Yan Ruoxue many times.
Yan Ruoxue was known to be obstinate and had a strange temper.
This year, at 29, she was one of the youngest professors at Imperial Capital University.
On the Ji Family’s Merit List, no one could surpass her achievements at her age.
Naturally, Yan Ruoxue was very prideful.
She wouldn’t even regard Ji Yiyuan highly, otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen Ji Li to participate in the experiment project despite the opposition between Ji Yihang and Ji Yiyuan.
"Alright, seeing as you are one of the few young people I rather admire, I’ll give you one more day to consider," Yan Ruoxue picked up the documents again, not looking at Ji Li anymore, "I don’t want to hear a ’no’, Ji Li. You should know how dangerous your family’s situation is."
"If Wen Fengmian hadn’t returned it would be fine, but now that he’s back, you’re all wearing the mark of crime."
Upon hearing this, Ji Li took a deep breath, "Professor Yan, I won’t say sorry. Not only will I definitely not participate in this experimental project, but I also won’t be joining any of your future ones either."
Yan Ruoxue raised her head, her gaze suddenly turning cold, "What did you say?"
Ji Li had already pushed the door open and left, leaving only a silhouette behind.
Yan Ruoxue’s expression turned even colder.
"Professor, don’t be angry," the assistant, very adept at reading the room, brought over a cup of tea, "Kids always need to walk the wrong path first, before they know who is looking out for their best interests."
Yan Ruoxue scoffed coldly, "Do I look like I would get angry over a little girl?"
The assistant paused, "Professor, speaking of Wen Fengmian, don’t you think he looks somewhat familiar?"
Because he needed to submit the experimental project proposal report, Wen Fengmian had gone to the Inner Court.
The assistant had just happened to see him and thought that Wen Fengmian’s facial features looked very familiar.
He had followed Yan Ruoxue to many places; he had visited The Four Great Financial Groups of O Continent and had been to the Ancient Martial World, having seen many people.
So for the moment, he couldn’t recall, but he was sure there was a strong impression, and it was significant.
"Wen Fengmian?" Yan Ruoxue looked indifferent, "Why should I care about him? Does his resemblance to someone pose a threat to me?"
When she came to the Ji Family, Wen Fengmian had already been branded with the "death" label following the failure of the island experiment.
His name had become a taboo, the experiment he was involved in had been shelved, and to this day it remained in the hands of the Inner Court, not approved for anyone else.
Yan Ruoxue had reviewed that experiment—it was indeed difficult and a long-term battle.
But she was confident that under her guidance, there would be no catastrophic blunders like the one Wen Fengmian made.
"I also heard from Mr. Ji Yiyuan that he had a wife and daughter," the assistant spoke again, "But it’s also tragic for him, his wife and daughter ran away with someone else, never coming back to see him, that’s why he adopted a child from another family."
"We don’t need to worry about these things. I’m going to the Inner Court," Yan Ruoxue was completely uninterested, standing up, "If Ji Li doesn’t come tomorrow, let me know, and I’ll call Imperial Capital University."
The assistant nodded, "Understood."
Yan Ruoxue, in her high heels, picked up the files she had just organized and left.
The assistant stayed in the laboratory, helping her watch over the equipment.
He thought carefully and agreed.
The current Wen Fengmian was already finished, completely non-threatening.

"Classmate Ying, I really didn’t expect that you would go to the Ji Family," Zuo Li was evidently aware of the Ji Family, "It’s incredible, Mr. Wen is a member of the Ji Family, no wonder he knew about the DEATH poison fog."
The Ji Family’s research strength could be said to be among the top few in the entire Asia-Pacific Region.
Some of the experimental projects at Imperial Capital University were also conducted in collaboration with the Ji Family.
