"Could I have a pen and paper?"
After the door closed, a police auxiliary officer entered the room.
He carried a folding bed and stepped onto the platform in the interrogation room.
Spread out.
Jiang Cheng saw the person who came and asked this question.
His lips were dry and withered. There was bottled water on the floor, but he didn't drink it. The air in the room was stuffy and hot, making it hard to breathe.
What Jiang Cheng found even more unbearable than the physical torment was the spiritual deprivation.
I could only sit quietly and listen to the ticking of the wall clock.
"Paper and pen?" The auxiliary police officer on duty tonight was a very young man, looking to be in his early twenties. He looked at Jiang Cheng with a puzzled expression. "What do you need these for...?"
"I'm so bored, I want to write something."
The young auxiliary police officer lowered his eyes and gave him a serious look.
In fact, their bureau detains dozens of people for fighting every day; it's not a big case.
Even if Jiang Cheng were given paper and pen, he wouldn't do anything earth-shattering.
Besides, the young man didn't seem to have any ill feelings towards him.
He pulled a stack of A4 paper and a ballpoint pen from the interrogation table and handed them over.
"Thanks."
Jiang Cheng took the two items, sat calmly on the ground, and took a deep breath.
He stared at the blank paper, recalling the formulas that were deeply etched in his mind.
Yes.
Jiang Cheng will finish the final part of his thesis here...
Even without those materials, formulas, and computers.
He still wanted to put the ideas he had rehearsed countless times in his mind onto paper.
A soft rustling sound filled the interrogation room. Apart from the young auxiliary police officer scrolling through short videos on the folding bed, the only other sounds were Jiang Cheng's pen scribbling.
In the silence.
The man occasionally glanced at Jiang Cheng.
I watched him for a while but couldn't figure out what he was writing. Feeling increasingly bored, I drifted off to sleep...
One night.
It was both long and short.
Some people slept soundly, while others stayed up all night.
Lanjing Institute of Technology in the morning.
Fuchen Road.
Students from the University of Science and Technology of China yawned and walked slowly, turning the corner in small groups.
Heading towards the school.
"Road closed! All vehicles and pedestrians! Take a detour!"
"Road closed! All vehicles and pedestrians! Take a detour!"
The student who had just entered Fuchen Road was stopped. He looked at the usually bustling street with a surprised expression.
Now it's completely sealed off by a serious cordon.
The majority of people gathered around included commuters on electric bikes, taxi drivers, and a large group of students.
"Road closed? What happened that requires a road closure?" he asked, looking completely bewildered.
The wide road was deserted!
People dressed in black are standing at the street corner!
They were all fully armed, with "SWAT" printed on their black helmets and the same on their backs.
The leather boots made a loud noise when they stepped on the ground.
Most importantly, every single one of these special police officers was armed!
They lined up in a row, completely blocking the entrance to Lanjing Science and Technology College!
It was solemn and dignified, like an impenetrable wall.
Under such strict security, not even a fly could get in.
The students were even more surprised to see such tight security.
What kind of serious situation must it be to warrant the deployment of special police!
Such a large quantity is enough to clear out the entire Fuchen Road!
Before he could recover from his doubts, a police siren suddenly sounded in the distance.
The most shocking scene unfolded...
A dozen or so stunted police vehicles, gleaming black, turned from another street and occupied an entire section of the road.
The car body gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen, its lines both smooth and hard.
With police vehicles escorting them from both the front and back, these anti-riot vehicles were firmly sandwiched in the middle.
Private cars on the same road hurriedly swerved to avoid the convoy, unable to get within ten meters of it.
"Just how important must this person be to receive such tight protection?"
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
They had never seen such a scene in their lives.
Even escorting a national treasure like a giant panda shouldn't be this serious!
In fact, the person sitting in the very middle of the SWAT vehicle was indeed a national treasure!
Shu Zhicheng and Weng Chengwen, leading professors in the field of biotechnology!
Feng Zhen, Director of the Research Department of Huaxia Life Sciences!
It would not be an exaggeration at all for Zhong Yingzhe, the director of the research institute, to describe him as "a peerless national hero".
After completing a series of plans in the early hours of last night, they boarded a helicopter this morning and flew directly to Lanjing!
We dare not waste a single moment!
The officials of Lanjing City were notified and sent people to escort them, feeling extremely apprehensive.
The onlookers assumed that the fully armed people in the SWAT convoy were ordinary SWAT officers.
In reality, the protection was handled by the "Fierce Tigers," one of China's most elite special forces units...
Inside the car.
A middle-aged man kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead; he was extremely nervous.
Because everyone else in the car, except him, was a renowned professor and academician.
Weng Chengwen looked out the car window at the blackened green road. Even someone as experienced as him was now sweating profusely.
They negotiated until dawn last night without going to sleep.
It all has to do with that paper, "The Human Genome Project"!
Over the past forty years, countless elites have tried to seize this jewel in the field of biotechnology, but all have failed.
Now, a paper published late at night has rekindled their hope.
