Chapter 401: 273 wants to cause trouble under Ye Jie’s watchful eyes?_2
This wasn’t the first time Xie Zikun secretly opened Xie Yuan’s Treasure Pavilion and took the treasures inside.
Xie Zikun, familiar with the routine, opened the wooden box that contained the extremely valuable herbs, his pupils suddenly contracted in the glittering light.
Inside the box——it was actually empty??
He moved the box around to inspect it from all sides, but there was no trace of the Cordyceps anywhere, just the lingering scent of the herbs in the box...
The great-grandfather always treasured these herbs, never allowing anyone to touch them, not even daring to take more than a small portion to sell secretly. But now, it had all disappeared!
They must have been stolen!
Xie Zikun picked up the briefcase thrown on the ground and strode toward the Bamboo Forest; stealing Cordyceps worth tens of millions was a major criminal offense, and he had to tell the great-grandfather immediately.
Without pausing for a moment, he ran to the Bamboo Forest and from a distance saw the great-grandfather handing what looked like a heavy bag of fruit or something to a female university student.
"Great-grandfather, something terrible has happened, all your Cordyceps have been stolen! We need to report this to the police immediately!"
As he spoke, he was about to grab his phone, when a crisp, cool voice from the girl opposite him rose unhurriedly.
"Cordyceps, huh..." Xia Ye raised the heavily laden bag in her hand: "Are you talking about these?"
Xie Zikun didn’t have time to deal with her, only glancing over briefly.
That glance nearly gave him whiplash!
What the university student was holding in her hands wasn’t fruit at all...
It was the Snow Mountain Cordyceps that he had been thinking about incessantly, wasn’t it?
Looking back at the great-grandfather and the young girl’s actions...
"Great-grandfather," Xie Zikun turned to Xie Yuan with a panic-stricken look: "Didn’t you say you weren’t going to sell these Cordyceps?"
Xie Yuan frowned in displeasure: "That’s right, what about it?"
Xie Zikun: "Then what is this..."
Xie Yuan: "Of course I wouldn’t sell such precious items, I’m giving them to Yeye!"
Ignoring Xie Zikun’s stunned expression on the side, he looked at Xia Ye very kindly: "Meeting you must be fate, great-grandfather believes that these treasures will only realize their true value in your hands..."
Even Professor Bian couldn’t utter a word, having been a disciple to his mentor for decades, he had rarely even been allowed to see these Cordyceps, let alone been gifted any.
"Great-grandfather!" Xie Zikun clearly disagreed with Xie Yuan’s decision, but before he could argue, Xie Yuan suddenly perceived something and looked at him with suspicion: "Zikun, the great-grandfather’s Cordyceps were never kept out in the open, how did you know they were missing?"
Xie Zikun’s body stiffened suddenly, his face turning the color of a liver.
...
To avoid interfering with the family discipline being administered by his mentor, Professor Bian greeted him and then took Xia Ye, who was holding a big bag of Cordyceps, back to school in a car.
In the car, Professor Bian invited Xia Ye to sit with him in the back seat, taking the opportunity to introduce her to the Snow Mountain Cordyceps and closely examining the bag of Cordyceps.
By the time the car stopped at the entrance of Beijing University, Professor Bian had hardly stopped talking.
Xia Ye could tell he had long coveted this bag of Cordyceps.
Not only was Professor Bian his 499th generation disciple, but also a professor who cherished Xia Ye. After considering it for a moment, she generously opened the large bag before parting, and then took out... one Cordyceps, offering it to Professor Bian: "This is for you."
Professor Bian’s mouth twitched sharply, but less than half a minute later, he carefully pinched the Cordyceps between his thumb and forefinger: "Thank you..."

"The living environment for the elderly should be simple, spacious, and bright. Furniture should be arranged permanently, catering to the habits of the elderly without frequent changes. Attention should be paid to slip prevention on floors and in bathrooms..." Qi Ran silently recited to herself.
She had gone over the most basic nursing knowledge thoroughly in the course of the afternoon.
Yang Qiange was writing a routine report for the student council beside her, which she usually would have written at the student council, but she had deliberately brought it back to the dormitory.
She was always looking for an opportunity to delve into the secrets hidden in Qi Ran’s phone...
As soon as Xia Ye entered the room, Yang Qiange noticed the bag she was carrying: "What’s this?"
Xia Ye glanced at her: "Just some local specialties."
As she said this, she opened the wardrobe door, intending to stuff it inside, but upon seeing her wardrobe already crammed full with clothes and school bags, a drop of cold sweat rolled down her forehead. She turned back to Qi Ran and asked, "Do you have space in your wardrobe?"
Qi Ran nodded: "Yes, if you don’t have enough room, I can keep it for you."
Xia Ye chuckled: "Thanks, then."
The lockers in the Beijing University student dormitories all had locks, so storing items inside was very safe.
Yang Qiange watched the bag being locked away in Qi Ran’s locker with a rather displeased expression.
Wasn’t this just to guard against her?
So stingy...
After putting her things away, Xia Ye took out the Academy of Sciences’ written exam question bank, a thick volume that she had almost finished reviewing.
