Xia Ao's PhD advisor described as a complete scumbag whose existence is a threat to humanity. He is a big shot who can independently lead projects at the Imperial Institute of Life Sciences. He pushed an unfinished drug into clinical trials without proper qualifications by pulling connections. When Xia Ao reported the oversight, the advisor gave him two choices: stay silent and take the money and degree, or give up everything from the past five years. Xia Ao chose to leave and was fired.
