Chapter 189: China's reputation cannot be defamed
Just then, the laboratory door opened and Professor Zhang Yuan walked in: "Don't tell me, I know everything."
Pang Tao and Xiao Li quickly stood up and respectfully called out "Teacher".
Professor Zhang Yuan nodded. "This matter not only concerns your junior sister's reputation, but also the honor of China. I can't leave for the time being, but I have already contacted the Chinese professors in Country M. If anyone of you is free, please go there."
"I'll go." Pang Tao said.
Xiao Li opened his mouth, and finally said with some regret: "Let Pang Tao go. My project here is in the final stage and I can't leave."
"Then book the next flight to Syracuse."
"Okay, right away."
Professor Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes, his expression serious. He took out his phone and made another call, speaking fluent English...
The results were originally scheduled to be released in two days, but now it has been postponed due to suspected leak of the exam questions.
Students from other countries expressed their grievances and even complained about the incident on social media. The incident seemed to be spreading more and more widely, and more and more people were paying attention to it.
After Pang Tao arrived, he immediately contacted Professor Zhang Yuan's friend, Professor Chen, who is also a mathematician. The other party was a Chinese professor hired at the University of Washington in the United States with a high salary. After receiving Professor Zhang Yuan's call, he immediately contacted his friends in related fields.
In fact, almost twenty hours had passed.
During these twenty hours, the six Chinese students were locked up in different rooms. They had special people to accompany them, sofas to sleep on, and meals delivered on time. However, they did not have mobile communication tools such as cell phones and computers. They were watched so closely that it was even more painful than being in prison.
They are all students, so the mental pressure has naturally reached their limit.
Su Yi calculated the time and looked at the professors who were still trying to interrogate him with a gloomy face. These people trapped them in this small office for a false accusation without even finding any convincing evidence. There were at least two people watching them, which undoubtedly treated them as criminals!
The United States, a country that values freedom and democracy the most, has such serious double standards that it is tolerant to its own people but so harsh to people from other countries.
"Although I don't understand the laws of Country M, according to our country's laws, this constitutes a restriction of personal freedom. I now request a lawyer. If you can't provide sufficient evidence, I will sue your Physics Association in the name of my lawyer for violating the personal freedom of our participating students..."
Su Yi said coldly.
They all knew from the beginning that this girl was not easy to deal with.
She had clear ideas and spoke with reason and logic. She was not fooled by their threats or inducements and could even scold them. When did the teenagers of China become so fearless in the face of danger?
Isn’t it said that Chinese teenagers are the most pampered, only knowing how to study and only looking for their parents when something goes wrong?
Obviously, Su Yi broke their traditional impression.
A few hours later—
They finished questioning and the teenagers were released.
After twenty-four hours, we finally met again.
When Jiang Maoxuan saw Su Yi, he immediately rushed over and looked at her nervously: "Su Yi, are you okay?"
Su Yi shook his head: "What about you?"
"I want to go back home." Someone's eyes were red and his voice was choked.
Even Duan Kang's spirit was obviously weak and his face looked very haggard.
They clearly did nothing wrong, yet they were locked up like prisoners for 24 hours. How could they bear it? It was a relief that they didn't cry for help.
"Don't be afraid, we haven't done anything wrong. They can't find any solid evidence. After all, they used to have the impression that China was incompetent, but times have changed. China's reputation cannot be slandered!" Su Yi comforted them.
After all, these are just a group of children who are not even eighteen years old.
If it were the Su Yi of the past, she would have panicked and cried, and might even have "confessed" because she could not bear the mental pressure. However, after experiencing so many things, her heart is strong enough.
More importantly, personal interests really mean nothing in the face of national honor.
Professor Hu finally met these children.
"Children, come here!"
"Professor Hu!"
Two boys hugged Professor Hu and cried.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we will definitely solve it."
Su Yi also got his mobile phone, which contained many unread messages, including more than a dozen missed calls from Shen Yanting.
She immediately called Shen Yanting back.
The phone was connected within a second of ringing——
"Gu Suyi." Shen Yanting's voice was a little hoarse, "You finally answered the phone."
"I'll tell you about this in detail later. Do you have any way to help me hire a lawyer in Xuecheng? I want to sue them!" Su Yi said coldly.
Su Yi's voice immediately attracted their attention, and even the two researchers who could understand Chinese changed their expressions.
"I've already found a lawyer. My eldest brother helped me find one. He's a renowned lawyer in this field. Do you need him to come over now?"
Su Yi was slightly touched and moved.
Although she and Shen Yanting always bickered, when it came to the critical moment, Shen Yanting was the one who understood her best.
