Chapter 628: Can't Provoke the Laurent Family, Aunt and Nephew Meet [1 more]

"Hello, sir." The receptionist was stunned, then frowned, "You want to see the president, do you have an appointment?"

She was polite but distant: "If you don't have an appointment, please make one and I will help you arrange a time."

The implication is that the president is very busy and not everyone can meet him.

Zuo Li stared at her, said nothing, and walked inside.

The receptionist was anxious: "Sir, you can't go in!"

But she couldn't stop Zuo Li at all, so she could only start making calls anxiously: "Security! Security!"

Before the security guards could act, a voice rang out.

"Professor Zuo, right?" It was a young man standing at the stairs. "Please come up. The president is in the office."

upstairs.

In the president's office.

The current president of the International Center for Physics is not a physicist.

Used to be a businessman.

But he was very popular, so he successfully became the president when the term changed.

When an outsider becomes the president of the International Center for Physics, internal corruption is bound to occur.

"Professor Zuo, long time no see." The president smiled and said, "Come, sit down. I just bought some good tea from your country, have a cup."

Zuo Li didn't sit down, but went straight to the point: "You sold my student's thesis to the Laurent family?"

The president paused and raised his eyes: "Yes, how is it?"

"How is it?" Zuo Li laughed angrily.

He rushed forward, grabbed the president's collar and slapped him.

The president was shocked and angry: "Zuo Li, you are crazy! Do you still want to stay in the physics world?!"

"How much did you sell it for?" Zuo Li was not satisfied and sneered, "You sold the paper and deliberately put it in this month's scientific journal, right?"

"It's all about running into my student and getting her completely caught up in a plagiarism scandal!"

"Professor Zuo, this is your problem." The president smiled slightly, "You insisted on submitting your student's paper to the O Continent Astronomical Center. What does this have to do with us? Did we force you to submit it?"

"It was your unnecessary act that got your student into a plagiarism scandal. I would also like to ask you, why do you really want to ruin your student's scientific research career?"

Zuo Li's fingers trembled: "You are really shameless."

He knew there was no need to continue the conversation, so he turned and left.

"Professor Zuo, if you don't consider yourself, don't consider your students." The president's cold voice came from behind, "You have to think carefully about the Laurent family. Which force in this world can afford to offend them!"

Zuo Li left the president's office without saying a word.

The president was still sitting in his office chair, his eyes gloomy.

The door was pushed open again.

He is the vice president.

"President, this Chinese guy can't really do anything, right?" The vice president came over and frowned, "If he makes a big fuss, we will be in trouble too."

Every circle has some default gray areas to a certain extent.

It doesn't matter if you don't say it.

If this really becomes known to everyone, the International Center for Physics will lose face and lose its impartiality.

"I just told him to be self-aware." The president blew his tea and said lightly, "The matter has become a big deal. Let's see if the Laurent family will let him and his students go."

"The Laurent family is the king of Continent O, and they have many tricks up their sleeves. Do you think he can compete with them?"

Elizabeth Laurent was one of the most prominent figures in the upper-class aristocratic circle of continent O.

Once the Pazzi family fell, no other family could compete with the Laurent family.

It is obvious who to choose between Ying Zijin, the ISC champion who has just entered the scientific research world, and the lady from the Laurent family.

"The president is far-sighted." The vice president finally smiled. "Giving a new researcher's paper to Miss Elizabeth not only helped us get $300 million in funding, but also earned a favor from Miss Elizabeth."

Elizabeth is only one paper away from officially establishing herself in the academic world.

They also helped to search for a long time, but of course it was impossible to bring those from the old professors.

Coincidentally, Zuo Li brought Ying Zijin's thesis.

"More than that." The president shook his head. "You don't know that Miss Elizabeth was chosen by the person in charge of the Laurent family. The person in charge also contacted someone to let her enter Professor Helven's laboratory."

"We are not only doing this for Miss Elizabeth's sake, but also for the Laurent family leader and Professor Helven's sake."

After all, Elizabeth is far from good enough compared to the latter two.

The vice president took a breath and said, "I see. This Miss Elizabeth is really amazing."

"But what you said makes sense." The president narrowed his eyes, "Zuo Li is a rising star in the physics world. Who knows if he knows someone."

"I heard that he and Helven seem to know each other, so detain him first."

As long as the two scientific journals are published globally, even if Zuo Li can produce evidence that Ying Zijin's paper was published earlier than Elizabeth's, he will not be able to clear himself.

All they have to do is say it's fake.

Can Zuo Li and his students still do anything wrong?

The president took a sip of tea and said, "Send someone to do it. After locking him up, take good care of him and release him after the journal is published."

**

AIRPORT.

Zuo Li was calling the astronomical institution center in Continent O: "Yes, there are some problems. Please withdraw my student's paper first. I will bear all the losses."

Zuo Li hung up the phone and then called Ying Zijin.

It was because of his carelessness and lack of consideration that Ying Zijin's thesis was stolen.

But now he failed to protect his student and could only let her solve it herself. He felt very sorry about it.

In Zuo Li's teaching career, he had never encountered anything that made him feel so powerless.

However, before he could dial the number, his neck suddenly felt numb.

Then the vision in front of my eyes fell into darkness.

Two people sent by the International Center for Physics carefully carried Zuo Li out.

Other people around the airport saw it, but they were not surprised and looked away indifferently.

**

Two days later.

O continent.

Country J.

The Venus Group headquarters is located here.

Ying Zijin and Fu Yunshen left the airport together and got into the car.

Ying Zijin took a look at the equipment in the car and raised his eyebrows: "Do you like collecting cars?"

When she and Xiu Yu participated in the Manson Family's racing competition, Fu Yunshen casually gave her a T-family racing car that had retired from racing for 20 years.

This is not something that can be achieved simply by having money.

"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen raised his eyelids, "Even though I'm an old man, I still have hobbies."

He turned the steering wheel and headed for the hotel in the city center.

On the way, the car phone was automatically connected.

It was a video call, and the person on the screen was Licinius.

"Reporting to the commander, the target of protection has not appeared yet, and we are continuing to monitor him."

"Okay, got it."

The video flickered for a moment, then ended.

Ying Zijin turned around and asked: "Who is being protected?"

"Yes." Fu Yunshen tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, his eyes dark. "Not long ago, the top 50 hunters on the NOK forum received an anonymous private message offering a bounty."

"The bounty target is a six-year-old girl, but her face is missing. Hunters are out in force. I asked IBI to monitor them. They can't hurt the little girl."

This little girl may be their only way to reach that mysterious place.

But until now, there has been no news of any little girl dying or being injured.

It could be that the hunters haven't found it yet.

Ying Zijin raised her eyes: "A six-year-old girl?"

"Yes." Fu Yunshen said, "Yaoyao, you don't have a hunter account, right?"

Ying Zijin shook her head slightly: "No."

The account of the God of Calculation is not on the hunter list.

After the trading area rules were changed that day, she never logged into the NOK forum again.

"I'm also wondering who she offended." Fu Yunshen said indifferently, "It's worth a reward of one billion US dollars."

Ying Zijin frowned: "I want someone to see it too."

She forwarded the message to the vice-chancellor and asked Norton University to start testing as well.

After a while, the car stopped in front of the hotel.

Fu Yunshen didn't get out of the car, but put his arm on the car window: "Yaoyao, the room has been booked. I need to go to the Presidential Palace of Country J for something."

"Okay." Ying Zijin nodded, "I'll go out and play."

Fu Yunshen understood: "Take it easy."

The two separated at the hotel.

After changing clothes, Ying Zijin went to the commercial street in the city center.

Country J is also an international power, and with the headquarters of the Venus Group here, the streets are bustling with traffic.

Ying Zijin went to the coffee shop and bought a cup of hot chocolate.

As soon as she came out, her ears suddenly moved and she looked to the front right.

There was a little girl in black clothes running towards this side.

After a few seconds, a gunshot rang out in the air, shocking everyone around.

This is an international metropolis, although Country J has a gun license.

But it is also impossible for a gunfight to break out on the streets of the capital.

Passersby screamed and began to flee desperately.

The cars on the road were also somewhat out of control.

But strangely, the bullets were very accurate.

It did not shoot at other passers-by, but only at the little girl, without any deviation.

Sharpshooter.

However, in an instant, Ying Zijin determined that this little girl was the one whose popularity had exceeded the bounty target of her and Fu Yunshen.

As many as two hundred hunters were dispatched, causing an unprecedented sensation on the NOK forum.

"Hurry! Get out of the way!" The little girl ran very fast, shouting as she ran, "Get down, get down! Don't let me hit you!"

As she spoke, her body nimbly dodged the bullets.

She is so agile that she doesn't look like a six-year-old girl at all.

Even those IBI agents who had undergone special training would never be able to dodge every bullet as accurately as she did.

Ying Zijin did not avoid it.

But those bullets couldn't hit her.

Her eyelashes drooped and she clenched her hands.

There are very distant memories that are gradually coming out.

Until a huge explosion was heard from the distance.

“Bang!”

Just five hundred meters away, a sharpshooter was stationed on a hundred-story building, shooting at the little girl with a sniper rifle.

"Oh my goodness, there's more." The little girl jumped up and looked back, "I really dug up your ancestors' graves!"

Although she said this, her expression was calm, and she raised her hand.

The little girl didn't have a gun in her hand, only a watch.

There is a golden lace letter on the watch——

Leangle

She turned a button on her watch.

Instantly, the watch projected a blue laser net.

“Buzz!”

The blue laser net firmly confined the bullet.

Soon, the bullet that could blow up a building fell to the ground.

The little girl muttered, "Luckily I have a lot of equipment on me, otherwise I would have been killed by you crazy people. But bye."

She continued to run forward, and when she passed by Ying Zijin, she specifically greeted him, "Kid, you're awesome! Everyone else ran away, but you're still so calm."

"We must be destined to be together. Let's get to know each other after I get rid of these people. Today is not the right time. Wow, they are so fierce. I will run away."

But the little girl's legs didn't get a step forward before she was lifted up by Ying Zijin.

She was a little confused, but she reacted quickly.

"Hey, hey, hey, even though I'm only six years old, I'm definitely older than you. How can you bring me up like that in such an unpresentable way? You don't know how to respect your elders, kid. I'm telling you... Hey!"

The little girl suddenly fell to the ground and let out a scream.

She rubbed her butt and found herself thrown onto a seat in front of a convenience store.

She didn't know why, but when she wanted to get up, her legs seemed paralyzed and she couldn't move.

The little girl was stunned and raised her hand.

It felt like my hand was touching some barrier.

The bullets that were following her were blocked by this barrier.

Floating in the air.

Inner strength manifests externally, a protective barrier!

Ying Zijin rolled up his sleeves and said calmly, "I'll be fine."

Good morning
