“What’s missing?” Jian Yiling asked.
“That’s the strange part. The data at our institution is stored separately. So far, they’ve only broken into our internal staff database.”
A lot of the Institution’s data was not stored on the Internet. Instead, the data was stored locally to ensure the security of the data.
Furthermore, the researchers used a local area network on a day-to-day basis. They didn’t connect to the external network.
The most valuable thing in their Institution was the data they collected.
Someone had gone to the trouble of sneaking into their Institution. However, instead of getting into the vault where they stored their research data, they had chosen to open the Institution’s staff database instead.
This was somewhat puzzling.
Out of all the staff at the Institution, the one whose identity was by far the most mysterious to the outside world was Jian Yiling.
Dr. F.S’s name was already well known in the industry. There were many people who had recently approached the Institution. They wanted Dr. F.S to perform surgery for them.
However, the Institution had turned them all away.
Some of the people who were rejected by the Institution were very important people in society.
There was no guarantee that they would give up easily. It was possible that they’d do things to cause the Institution some trouble.
And thus, everyone was quite worried about Jian Yiling.
It would be best for Jian Yiling to not come to the Institution anytime soon.
“Darling, don’t come to the Institution until we’ve investigated this matter thoroughly,” Luo Xiuen warned repeatedly. “Damn it, if I find out who did this thing, I’ll skin them alive!”
However, Luo Xiuen knew in her heart that it wouldn’t be easy to skin that person.
It wasn’t an ordinary thief that did this. This thief had a powerful force behind him. Such an intrusion was definitely planned in advance.
“Okay,” Jian Yiling replied.

Because of the offline tournament, Jian Yiling had taken a long leave from school.
As she was free today, she went back to school.
As soon as she reached the school gates, An Yang led a bunch of lackeys and greeted Jian Yiling warmly.
“Boss, you’re amazing! You’re my idol!”
“Yeah! Brother Yang hasn’t missed any of your matches in the past two days! He’s even secretly printed many posters of you!”
An Yang’s lackeys were not afraid to embarrass him.
An Yang glared at them with hatred.
Then, he turned to Jian Yiling and asked: “Why are you at school? You should use this time to rest. Studying wears you out. You should just sleep and eat well at home. Do what makes you feel comfortable…”
An Yang continued to speak to Jian Yiling. He kept talking until they reached Jian Yiling’s classroom.
Jian Yiling sat down at her seat. She saw a lot of cards and gifts from the other students.
In fact, there were so many cards and gifts that everything could not fit on the table. Some of the gifts were placed on the ground.
Hu Jiaojiao had to squeeze out space to sit down.
All the students in the class were very happy to see Jian Yiling.
“Yiling! You’re back!” Hu Jiaojiao cried out happily.
Then, Hu Jiaojiao told Jian Yiling a ‘secret’. “Yiling, during your absence, Brother Yang came over every day to help you sort out the cards and gifts on your desk. He helped you wipe your desk and clean things up. In fact, he even helped you sort out the piles of homework that were given out by the teacher!”
In high school, if you were absent for a week, the papers and assignments could be piled together to form a mountain.
An Yang came over regularly to clean Jian Yiling’s desk. He also asked Hu Jiaojiao to help Jian Yiling write notes.
At first, Hu Jiaojiao was afraid of An Yang because of his ‘reputation’.
But gradually, she was no longer scared of him. Hu Jiaojiao told An Yang that Jian Yiling didn’t need their notes!
“Shut up Jiaojiao! You’re talking nonsense,” An Yang said as he glanced out the window.
