On the 30th of the New Year.
Mr. Jiao was in the bedroom, sorting through some papers and other documents on his computer, while also emailing and chatting with friends from abroad and within the country.
Yuanzi had gone back to his hometown in another province for the New Year, as his mother was alone at home this year and he had to accompany the old lady, as well as to pay respects to his deceased father. The company was being looked after by Fei Hang, Wei Leng, and others, and Mr. Jiao would lend a hand from time to time.
However, a few days ago, when Zheng Tan was taking a stroll, he overheard Old Man Lan and others talking about Mr. Jiao downstairs. These retired but still influential professors always had more and more reliable information than others, so Zheng Tan unusually decided to hide and eavesdrop that day.
