Chapter 620: Then chop off her hand (Two chapters combined!)
After returning home from the company, Gu Yin went straight to her room and entered the system space to find 001.
"What exactly happened before? How did it get upgraded?"
001 took off without any apparent problem and said, "The data was a bit outdated and choppy, so I went back to the Main God Space to upgrade it. It's fine! It's running perfectly smoothly now!"
Gu Yin looked at its clean forehead and nodded: "It's good that you're alright. By the way, I'll take out the information I won in the lottery first. I'll put it directly into my Sumeru Mustard Seed in the future. Otherwise, it won't be convenient for me to get the information if you leave."
001 Dot: "No problem, just don't let anyone find out!"
Gu Yin was reading books, researching, and writing code in the library until she had to leave.
She also took the data from her phone, which Gu Yin put into a mustard seed container just in case.
Zhang Ge's side was in an uproar for two days because of the thesis, but then netizens saw Gu Yin's name listed as the second author, and some people couldn't stand it anymore and immediately questioned Zhang Ge online.
"Zhou Guyin's name is actually in the second work!!"
"How is she so amazing! My God! Two world-class experiments are related to her! So, does that mean her experiment was successful?!"
"Ha, what's real or fake! Zhang Ge, Mr. Cheng Dong's second disciple! Zhou Guyin, Mr. Cheng Dong's last disciple! They're all on the same side, so it's easy for them to just have their names mentioned! Tsk tsk tsk, it's really funny. They even gave Zhou Guyin a second author's spot just to make her famous! What a powerful background, it's so good to have a powerful backer!"
"Why does the person upstairs sound so sour? Is it so hard to admit that someone else is better?"
"The fact that they dared to put their name on it proves it's real. Such a large-scale experiment must have gone through layers of scrutiny before they dared to start and publish it! They do have connections, but their connections are the state! You're an idiot! Hahahaha!"
"Doing experiments is expensive. Maybe Zhou Guyin is the financial backer of this experiment? That's still a contribution! So what if you're the second author? If you can contribute over a billion, you can be the second author too!"
"You can say anything, but watch out for a lawyer's letter! Hahaha! I heard a lot of people have received lawyer's letters!"
...
There are all sorts of speculations online, but Zhang Ge has the qualifications and achievements, so no one doubts him. On the contrary, because Gu Yin's name appeared in it, she was suspected once again!
Zhang Ge was being interviewed by the National News Channel at the moment and was unaware of what was happening online. After the interview, he left the station and had just gotten into his car when he received a call from Meng Yu. The more he listened to what Meng Yu had to say, the more Zhang Ge frowned.
"I understand. I'll call back right after I hang up. It's okay, don't worry!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ge registered an account on the platform, wrote a long message, and then returned to the lab. He was too busy to waste time chatting with these people!
Gu Yin received a call from Meng Yu and learned that Zhang Ge had replied to the netizens' questions.
Curious about what Zhang Ge had said, she checked her phone.
"Professor Zhang Ge: Regarding the various comments and speculations online, I will only respond once! The most crucial factor in the success of my experiment was the participation of my junior colleague, Zhou Guyin. Without her, my experiment might have stalled in a year or two, lacking both breakthroughs and funding. Her arrival brought the core technology and substantial funding, which had nothing to do with the Zhou family; it was a gift of gratitude from them to us and the country for saving lives! From the moment she learned about my experiment, to her bringing the technology to participate, and ultimately to its success, relevant national departments and leaders were present throughout the entire process! There was no deception whatsoever! Originally, her name was listed as the first author, but because I initiated and conducted the experiment, she felt she hadn't contributed much and only accepted a second author position! It was unfair to her. For my junior colleague, this is normal, but for us researchers, it's something we desperately want! She is so generous and so intelligent! The country is fortunate to have her! She is a genius!"
After this statement was published, a series of official accounts appeared on the "like" button! Including the highest-ranking People's Daily and CCTV.
"...The entire process was followed up by the state..."
"The core technology belongs to Zhou Guyin!!"
"This experiment couldn't have been completed without her!"
"Technology and capital involved! If this were a company, wouldn't we have 100% ownership?!"
"Terrifying! How can someone be so powerful?!"
"If that's the case, how can Zhang Ge have the nerve to sign his own name?"
"Zhou Guyin was willing, the country agreed, and Professor Zhang Ge accepted it with a blush and worked hard. What right do you have to object? Did you contribute money or technology?"
"So, Zhou Guyin's research on targeted drugs for tumor cells has yielded results, it's true!! Now she's not doing experiments anymore but instead studying some computer science and information engineering! Isn't that a waste of her talent?! No way! Our future safety is in your hands! Comrade Zhou! Can you really be so heartless?!"
"Thanks to Comrade Zhou Guyin, our country is no longer a nation terrified of cancer! Comrade Zhou Guyin! This is a great experiment! We hope you can come back and continue it! Please!"
"Those who cursed her haven't apologized yet! What's the point of coming back? To get cursed again? Just now, before Professor Zhang Ge came out to explain, some people were still talking about her!"
"Apologize!!"
"Apologize……!"
"Apologize across the entire internet! Apologize in the newspapers!"
"The names are being written! I remember you all!" This person took screenshots of the list that Gu Yin had previously posted and posted them in the comments.
"I know this person, he's my colleague! I'll tell him to come up and apologize!"
"This is my student! I'll call him over to apologize too!"
"This is my neighbor. He usually seems like a very honest and well-behaved guy, but he actually swore so rudely! I told his parents! I made him apologize!"
"How did you two meet? How did you know they were someone you knew?"
"The name is only partially covered; the beginning and end of the ID card information are not hidden, so you can tell the province and city just by guessing!"
"Now that you mention it! I know this person too! He's my classmate! His father has cancer! The whole family went to Beijing for treatment! They're coming back these days to sell their house. Because of this, he's abandoned his parents! His parents spoiled him too much! They gave him whatever he wanted, and as a result, he doesn't do anything after graduation! He just stays at home sponging off his parents! He plays games all day! He doesn't care about his sick father! He even insults the only scientist online who can cure his father! He's worse than an animal!"
When Wang Dachui saw this comment, he slammed his phone mouse down again: "Damn it, who is this bastard! If I find out, I'll make sure you suffer a horrible death!"
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a knock at the door. Wang Dachui thought it was the takeout and got up to open it.
"Is this Mr. Wang Dachui? There is a letter for you here, please check it!"
Wang Dachui signed for it with suspicion, closed the door, tore it open, and saw a court summons.
Wang Dachui's face turned deathly pale instantly!
"That bitch actually did it!! What do we do?! Will I go to jail?! Will I have to pay compensation?! What do we do?!" Wang Dachui paced frantically around the room!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up! He quickly took out his phone, clicked on a group chat, took a picture of the court summons, and tagged everyone.
"Brothers, I received this! What do I do?! I'm panicking! Has anyone else received this?"
"I received it too! I'm a senior in high school! What am I going to do! The trial is tonight, I'm ruined!"
"I received it too! My parents are furious! They just beat me up! They said they don't care about me anymore! They're planning to have a second child!"
"I haven't received it yet, but my name is on the list that woman sent! The doorbell rang!"
A little while later, "They've brought a summons! What should I do?! I'm getting engaged to my girlfriend in a few days! She works in the public sector! What should I do? If there's a court hearing, can I still get engaged?!"
...
"Where's the group admin?! Come out and tell us what we should do!"
"That's right, that's right, we've always listened to you! Now it's turned out like this, we're ruined once the trial starts! You better think of something!"
Group admin: "Don't worry, the law doesn't punish everyone. There are several thousand people here, how could they possibly sue? It's just to scare you. If you're really worried, apologize online, say something innocent, and stand on the moral high ground. I don't need to teach you that, right? If everyone apologizes, that person definitely won't hold it against you for the sake of their reputation! Otherwise, they'll just be narrow-minded!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dachui breathed a sigh of relief, put down his phone, and began to apologize online.
“I apologize to Zhou Guyin. I shouldn’t have believed what others said without knowing the truth, misunderstood her, and even insulted her because I was so angry that I was worried about others having their experimental results stolen. I apologize to her. I know I was wrong. My father is in poor health, and we are from the countryside. We only have two acres of land, and we don’t even have enough money for medical treatment. We’ve already sold our house. I didn’t know this was illegal. I apologize. I just hope that Ms. Zhou Guyin won’t hold a grudge against someone as poor as me and won’t sue me! I have no money to compensate you. If you sue me, I really won’t be able to survive!”
Several other people then followed this pattern and apologized.
Some netizens changed their opinion of them after watching the video, and their comments became less harsh.
Seeing this reaction, the other people on Gu Yin's list also started to apologize and play the victim.
“They’ve all admitted their mistakes so sincerely, Zhou Guyin, please don’t hold it against them.”
"Yes, yes, everyone's had a tough time. They're probably just angry. Some people have had their results stolen before, which is why they're like this. Everyone should understand. Just admit your mistake. There's no need to file a lawsuit; it's too serious."
"Yes, yes, there are high school seniors too. If we really sue, his life will be ruined. That's too terrifying. Anyway, Miss Zhou is fine, so let's just let it go."
There are countless similar voices.
The Gu family and everyone who knows Gu Yin are furious! It's easy for them to talk when they're not in her shoes! If this happened to them, they'd be so magnanimous!
Gu Yin told them not to be angry, and only left a message online: "I was wondering why the sun was so bright today, turns out it's the Holy Father and Holy Mother descending to earth! Everyone quickly avoid them, otherwise you'll be unlucky if you get their light on you!"
After that, no matter how much the online commotion went on, Gu Yin never responded. She also did not appear at the court hearing; her lawyer handled everything.
When everyone saw that Gu Yin was still studying computer science despite their commotion, they were furious. However, they dared not direct their anger at Gu Yin, but instead directed it at those self-righteous people who spoke up for Wang Dachui and the others.
"Hmph! They won't feel the pain unless the knife falls on them!" Tie Mao came to see Gu Yin today on business and told her about the development of this matter.
Gu Yin happened to be home today and laughed when she heard this, saying, "That's how people are; they're generous with other people's money."
Tie Mao nodded upon hearing this: "By the way, boss, after those people were sued, they confessed to some things. They said they were all tempted by a group owner to follow the trend and curse you. That group owner gave them money; they would get 500 yuan for every word they said to you! The more vicious the insult, the higher the money! After Lao Wu cracked that group, he tracked down that person's IP address. Do you know him, Qian Xiaoxiao?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "I don't know it, I've never heard of it."
Tie Mao frowned: "Why would she target you if you don't even know her? That's strange. Is it because she likes CEO Chu that she's targeting you?"
Gu Yin: "...How did you come to that conclusion?"
Tie Mao blinked: "Because the other party's IP address is from Blue Bay Villa, where rich people live. When they target someone, it's either because of money or because of feelings. Since you don't know them, and they're targeting you, it must be President Chu, right?"
Gu Yin suddenly realized: "Blue Bay Villa? Then I know who it is."
Gu Yin really didn't expect that even after all this, those two counterfeiters still wouldn't give up. She was just too busy and had almost forgotten about them.
Tie Mao asked in confusion, "You know them? Who is it?"
Gu Yin smiled and said, "You know about the matter of our family's real and fake young masters, right?"
Tie Mao nodded: "I've heard of it!" but he wasn't particularly clear about it.
"The house over at Blue Bay is the house of those two fake young masters/Miss Zhao. But I heard it was sold before. How come it's still there? You should check it out later."
Tie Mao looked surprised: "So that's how it is! Qian Xiaoxiao is Zhao Feifei's stage name. She didn't do well in the industry. She was spoiled and domineering. At first, the people around her thought she was a rich girl who came out to play and didn't dare to go against her. Later, they found out that she was just an ordinary person, and then she was targeted. Later, they heard that she was indeed a real rich girl, but no one cared about her when she was bullied by her rivals. So even more people in the industry kicked her when she was down. When she found that she couldn't make it in the industry, she became someone's lover. That house was bought for her by her lover."
Gu Yin had a lot to say: "She's a fake heiress of the Zhou family, but she's the real heiress of the Zhao family in Hong Kong. Even the Zhao family isn't helping her. It seems she's a hated presence wherever she goes. Since she dared to make a move, let's chop off her hand and handle things according to the law. Anyone who tries to stop us will be taken in too."
Tie Mao nodded solemnly: "Okay! I'll take care of it right away!"
