A bet

"Sister Qingzhu and Brother Chen, thank you for coming to help me."

Su Qingzhu patted Bian Senlin and said, "Don't be afraid. The captain will send us over after he gets the news. They can't touch you."

"You don't know, I heard that the captain broke a table right in front of those guys." Chen Lie also said happily:

"It's rare for the captain to get angry. It's a pity I didn't see the scene with my own eyes. It must have been very interesting."

After Lu Cen Cen urgently processed the latest news from the communicator, she also walked over.

She glanced at Bian Senlin and said to Shen Lie and Su Qingzhu, "I'm going to go back and take care of some things first. I'll leave Bian Senlin to you."

At present, it is safest to stay with the execution team in the forest.

Su Qingzhu agreed and walked back with Bian Senlin. On the way, Bian Senlin looked depressed.

Chen Lie couldn't bear to watch it any longer: "Boy, don't look like the sky has fallen. No matter what happens, you have to keep your spirits up."

Bian Senlin was a little confused: "Brother Chen, they said that the 30-year-old me intended to tamper with the past and even issued a warrant for my arrest, but, I...how could he have that ability?"

"This is true." Chen Lie became serious for once: "During the last mission, you and the captain went to the 2021 time and space, and I was responsible for finding the edge forest of the 2024 time and space.

I finally found him, but he started fighting as soon as he saw me, and after one move he turned and ran away. I chased him for several time and space, but finally lost him."

When he thought about how he had actually lost an ordinary person, Shen Lie's face turned very ugly:

"What we can confirm now is that Bian Senlin of the 2024 space-time has indeed mastered the ability to travel through different time-spaces. As for why he has this ability, we can probably only figure it out after we bring him back."

When Bian Senlin heard this, he felt mixed emotions. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was happy that he would have such ability in the future, or worried that they would disregard the rules and break them.

"Also, at 40 years old... He once told me that he didn't regret any of the decisions he made. If that's the case, then how could he possibly..."

Bian Senlin felt even more depressed, and Chen Lie and Su Qingzhu looked at each other.

"Speaking of Dr. Bian, I can arrange for you to meet him..." Shen Lie touched his chin and thought.

"Really?" Bian Senlin's eyes lit up.

"Oh, that's definitely true. Who do you think your brother Shen is?"

Chen Lie really did what he said, and Bian Senlin met Dr. Bian soon after. They saw each other in a room through a whole glass wall.

Dr. Bian's overall condition was actually fine. Apart from some fatigue between his brows, he looked as calm as if he was reading in his study instead of being imprisoned.

Before Bian Senlin came, he felt that he had a lot to say, but when they really met, he didn't know how to start. He seemed extremely anxious and looked sad.

Seeing Bian Senlin's expression, Dr. Bian actually tried to comfort him: "Don't worry too much. This matter won't involve you too much. At most, we'll just send you back to 2014. This is actually a good thing for you. You don't have to get involved in all these things."

Bian Senlin just felt that these words made people angry: "But I don't want to go back now! After this happened, how can you expect me to go back peacefully?"

Looking at Bian Senlin who said this in a fit of anger, Dr. Bian couldn't help but laugh.

Once the conversation begins, many things become easier to say.

Bian Senlin looked at Dr. Bian and asked seriously about the lingering question in his mind:

"They say you leaked secrets and caused this space-time accident, but I don't believe it, so I want to ask you, did you do this?"

Facing his past self's questioning, Dr. Bian shook his head gently but firmly: "No."

Perhaps out of instinct, the moment he heard the answer, Bian Senlin believed it without any reason, and he felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart and relaxed.

"How can I help you then?"

In Bian Senlin's mind, since Dr. Bian said it was not true, then he was wronged, but he didn't know how to help him prove his innocence.

"Am I useless?" This feeling of powerlessness made Bian Senlin anxious, which made him talk a lot to Dr. Bian:

"I just came back from the 2021 time and space and heard that you were arrested, and 30-year-old Bian Senlin also got into trouble..."

Dr. Bian listened quietly to Bian Senlin's somewhat confused words, and frowned slightly when he heard that the 30-year-old Bian Senlin actually had the ability to travel through time and space.

After Bian Senlin calmed down, Dr. Bian said, "You don't have to worry too much about me. Compared to me, I am more worried about another thing."

"What's up?"

Bian Senlin was a little confused. He didn't know what worried him more than Dr. Bian's current situation.

"I'm more worried about whether 30-year-old Bian Senlin will really intend to change the past after gaining the ability to jump through time and space.

It was only after experiencing more things that I gradually reconciled with my past experiences and stopped obsessing over and regretting the wrong decisions I had made.

But when he was younger, Bian Senlin might not have had this determination, and I'm afraid he might have done something irreparable."

When Bian Senlin heard what Dr. Bian said, he also started to get nervous: "Then...what should we do then?"

Dr. Bian looked directly into Bian Senlin's eyes and said seriously, "Find a way to stop him. If he really wants to change the past, then he will most likely go to 2020."

…

"I'm a little surprised, Dr. Bian. I thought Dr. Bian would remain silent like he did in front of the investigation team last night. If that's the case, we'll have to work really hard."

After Bian Senlin left, Xing Yun appeared out of nowhere. He put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Dr. Bian, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

"Dr. Bian is so smart, he should know that the purpose of letting you two meet is just to get you to talk more."

Xing Yun walked over to Dr. Bian and squatted down. He smiled at Dr. Bian and took the initiative to untie the restraints on his wrists:

"So, Doctor, you don't really want that little lamb to go to 2020. Instead, you want us to stop 30-year-old Bian Senlin from doing anything, right?"

Dr. Bian stretched his stiff wrists and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he looked into Xing Yun's eyes and smiled:

"Team Leader Xing's attitude also surprised me. Logically, shouldn't Team Leader Xing be overjoyed to have recaptured me and use all possible means to conduct repeated interrogations?"

Dr. Bian knew very well that for professionals like them, silence was not as difficult as Xing Yun said. There were many means and methods to achieve it.

So, up to now, Xing Yun's attitude can be said to be unexpectedly gentle.

"Well, in Dr. Bian's mind, am I considered a bully?"

Dr. Bian remained silent. Xing Yun continued, "I did believe you were inextricably linked to this accident, but I never imagined it would be this way."

Xing Yun stood up and clapped his hands: "Based on the known clues now, let me guess what happened.

Judging from your teacher's case, after he found out that he had cancer, he wanted to send his research results, that is, the intelligent entity that can perceive human emotions, back to the past to gain more research time.

But some unexpected event occurred during the process and he died. His research results, for unknown reasons, formed an abnormal energy source, causing this space-time accident."

"As for how much role you can play in this, Dr. Bian..."

Xing Yun chuckled and said, "Excuse me for being blunt, Dr. Bian, you're an intelligence researcher. Even if you leaked secrets, how much of the core secrets related to time and space could you reveal?

To put it bluntly, Dr. Bian, you are not strong enough to support your teacher in building a space-time jump channel."

This is the main reason why Xing Yun's attitude towards Dr. Bian changed. Of course, he does not think that Dr. Bian has been completely cleared of suspicion.

Xing Yun leaned forward with both hands, approached Dr. Bian, and said softly while staring into his eyes, "Or, Dr. Bian, would you mind telling me who's behind you?"

Dr. Bian thought for a moment, then faced the sharp gaze so close to him and suddenly smiled: "Team Leader Xing, how about we make a bet?"
