In the sweltering summer, a cool breeze occasionally blows.
In the afternoon, countless students from Lanjing Institute of Technology gathered at the end of the tree-lined avenue.
They split into two factions, glaring at each other.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, as if a fight was about to break out at any moment.
"Now, pick up the trash you threw right now, or you'll get a major demerit or even be expelled!" A bespectacled boy standing ramrod straight angrily pointed at a girl in a skirt.
His eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
If it weren't for the differences between men and women, the boy probably would have already made a move.
"So what if I'm lost? Go ahead and fire us all! Arrest them all!"
The girl in the short skirt was not to be outdone; her sharp voice rang out, making people involuntarily frown.
Just a few meters in front of her, Jiang Cheng's marble statue was covered with a lot of garbage food plastic bags, which was particularly glaring at first glance.
Lanjing Institute of Technology has existed for hundreds of years, and only this one student has become world-famous. Logically, he should be worshipped by everyone, and that is indeed the case. Two years ago, he was the idol of almost all young people in this era.
But now, that's not the case.
"Are you sure you don't want to pick it up? Then I'll have to ask you to come to my office as the vice president of the student council."
"Stop trying to intimidate me, Qi Lin. You're just protecting a coward. This statue should have been moved long ago. Who is it trying to disgust? Don't you know that universities across the country have started to ban the discussion of his name?"
The woman in the short skirt snorted and stood with her arms crossed.
Someone nearby immediately chimed in: "Yeah, even posting a question online gets blocked. We've waited so long, and everyone's disappointed. If it weren't for him, would we be in this awkward situation now?"
"Everyone is questioning Lanjing? Countless people are attacking Lanjing students! Why are we suffering such an undeserved calamity!"
These people were all talking at once, each saying their own thing.
The people on the other side watched coldly, then retorted sarcastically, "Oh? Weren't you the ones who idolized him and applied to Lanjing University of Science and Technology? Now you're turning the tables?"
"You've all forgotten the contributions Jiang Zu made! Without him, would we have achieved controlled nuclear fusion? Would we have developed genomic drugs? Do you know how many children have been saved because of his reagents?! It's only been a short time and you've already forgotten!"
"And where is he now? He told a colossal lie: global funds flowed into mecha research, only to find they couldn't even activate the system! He's a complete scoundrel, using public funds to research private weapons! Did you even see the global joint statement? It clearly condemns Jiangcheng there!!"
The two groups got more and more agitated as they argued.
It looked like a fight was about to break out.
The reason for the argument is quite poignant.
It's hard not to sigh at how time flies and how things change.
Jiang Cheng hid in a corner, wearing a mask, and listened silently.
In the two years since his disappearance, the Global Mech Research Center has indeed consumed a large number of the world's most talented scientists and countless financial resources. As a result, after their enthusiastic research, they found that they lacked the necessary permissions to unlock and use the mechs.
Imagine how furious those major powers will be when they discover this.
They hurriedly sent a request to China for an explanation from Jiangcheng.
As a result, China remained silent.
Two years have passed, and there is still no response.
A wave of anti-Jiangcheng sentiment swept the world.
People repeatedly hoped for the appearance of this genius, hoping that he would once again become the ray of dawn that pierced the sunrise, but he never appeared.
Initially, the major powers used kind words to apply for Jiangcheng to become a core member of their respective countries, jointly researching future technologies.
However, now they are angrily coming to China demanding an explanation!
With pressure from all countries, China is suffering immensely.
At first, everyone was united, but later more and more sarcastic remarks appeared.
Even at the core of Lanjing Science and Technology College, dissenting voices have emerged.
Humans have always been like this.
They will remember a person's merits with reverence, and they will also hate a thousand times more the injustices caused by that person.
Students across the country!
Almost everyone's discussing it!!
China was forced to issue a ban.
The whole country is furious.
The principal of Lanjing School certainly saw this scene, but he remained silent in his office.
Beside her, Fu Shu held a cup of tea, her face showing incomprehension.
"How dare they do this??? I'll go down and give them a piece of my mind right away!"
"...Never mind, Xiao Fu, let them argue. It's better to argue verbally than internally."
The principal sighed.
“But…” Fu Shu glanced at him with pity, “He is clearly our best student, yet he has suffered such humiliation!”
"Principal, I need to ask for leave. I'm not feeling well today." Fu Shu put down her cup, bowed slightly, and her eyes were filled with gloom.
...
...
downstairs.
A roar.
It silenced all the noisy people.
"You only dare to do this because Senior Luo Li isn't here! She'll be back in a couple of days. Do you dare to do this in front of her then??" The boy gritted his teeth, his voice already choked with emotion.
Luo Li.
The appearance of this name broke the previous deadlock.
The person who was about to say something more wisely kept quiet and left dejectedly.
Two years later, that once naive little girl, who only knew how to cling to Luo Xiaoli in Jiangcheng.
