The team from the US is heading home tomorrow night.

All day long, Liang Junsheng seemed absent-minded and often spaced out. If anyone glanced at him or spoke to him more than once, he would act flustered.

In the evening, fearing that Liang Junsheng might be too timid to act, Linda stuffed a thick wad of banknotes into his hand.

"Here is the deposit Professor Lyon gave you. He keeps his word and will pay the rest once he gets the lab data."

That thick stack of banknotes, totaling eight thousand yuan, was more than Liang Junsheng had ever seen in his life.

He gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and made up his mind.

Before he took action, Linda gave him another boost of confidence.

"Liang, don't worry about things getting leaked. You have me and Professor Lyon behind you. We welcome you to come to the United States anytime!"

Liang Junsheng sneaked into the laboratory.

In the pitch black, he shone a flashlight to the safe and, trembling, used the key to open the door.

He took out stacks of experimental data and put them all into a file bag.

Just as he was about to close the cabinet door, the laboratory lights suddenly turned on, startling him so much that he jumped up.

When he saw Old Man Xu walk in, followed by Gu Zhiyun and Yang Xuechang, his heart started pounding uncontrollably.

"Junsheng, what are you doing with so much paper so late?"

Liang Junsheng felt extremely guilty, and his hands were sweating profusely.

"Professor, I... I just remembered that there were a few problems with the calculations, so I wanted to look through the manuscript and recalculate them..."

Faced with such a clumsy lie, Old Man Xu did not immediately expose him, but instead looked at him intently.

Liang Junsheng felt both frightened and guilty under such a gaze, and dared not meet Old Man Xu's eyes.

"That's perfect. You should communicate more if you have any questions. Xiao Gu and Xiao Yang are here, so you can discuss it together."
