Chapter 218 Deep Virtual Reality 45

“I understand.” The middle-aged man’s voice was deep and resonant. “However, such behavior is not permissible, Ms. Xie. You have violated federal regulations. In principle, you should be subject to three months of detention and a fine of 30,000 yuan.”

“However,” the middle-aged man paused, then smiled, “your actions saved seventy-two people, which is a heroic act and deserves to be rewarded. Therefore, you can be exempted from detention and will not have a criminal record. However, you will still need to pay a fine of ten thousand federal dollars.”

Xie Ning pursed her lips, feeling that her already meager life had become even more difficult.

"good."

Before she could answer, the female interrogator opposite her glanced down at the message, then said to Xie Ning with a gentle expression, "Ms. Xie, based on your coating technology that circumvents the scanner, the Federal has decided to purchase it from you. There is a condition: if you sell this technology to the Federal, you cannot sell it to any other person or organization."

What do you think?

What was bound to happen would happen. The moment she decided to take out the micro-bomb, she had already decided that the coating technology was doomed, so she agreed without much hesitation.

This requires an agreement, but an agreement is an agreement, and whether or not to abide by it is up to the individual. Xie Ning does not feel that he will be bound by the agreement.

The coating technology has been sold. Perhaps the Federation will specifically crack this technology or use it in other fields, but the impact on us will be quite limited.

After all, technology can be upgraded.

"Ms. Xie, my name is He Xin. This is my contact information. If you invent any technology in the future, you can give priority to cooperating with the Federation." The woman, He Xin, smiled and saw Xie Ning out the door.

"Okay, I will." With her second objective achieved, Xie Ning felt much better. Because by selling the coating technology, she not only paid off the fine but also made a considerable amount of money.

Xie Ning took the elevator to the Security Bureau lobby, where Ai Li was still waiting for her.

After entering the elevator, Moss sent Xie Ning a schedule of Dr. Ji's work. Even though she was on vacation, she couldn't be completely without work; some data analysis still needed to be done.

Furthermore, he also had to coordinate with various departments, but fortunately, Dr. Ji had four assistants, so the workload wasn't too heavy when it was distributed among them.

With a beep, the elevator stopped in the lobby on the first floor. On the spacious U-shaped sofa, Clay was standing to the side angrily saying something, while Ellie had a calm expression and seemed indifferent.

Seeing that Xie Ning had come out, Ellie waved to Clay and strode towards Xie Ning.

Seeing Xie Ning's relaxed expression, Ai Li smiled as well. "How did it go? Don't worry about the fine. I have some savings here. I'll transfer some to you later so you can pay the fine first."

"Brother Ellie, the fine has been paid, so you don't need to worry."

"That's good. Let's go. It's not too late yet. We'll get back to the orphanage around three o'clock. It's just a pity we won't make it for lunch. I was hoping to eat the director's shrimp rice balls."

The two walked outside, talking as they went.

Xie Ning walked to the other side of Ai Li's car, then closed her umbrella and got in. She sat in the passenger seat, where a clean, dust-free photo frame sat in front of her, showing how carefully its owner had protected it.

Inside was a girl in a white dress holding a large bunch of sunflowers, smiling brightly like the warm sun.
