For a long time, the only sound in the air was Xiao Mumu's sobbing.
"sorry."
After a long pause, Xiao Xingyu blinked his moist eyes and said, "Maybe I should have told you earlier that I had reached a bottleneck."
He sniffed his sour nose and said seriously, "Mu Mu, my retirement has nothing to do with my mother. The reason was that I encountered some problems with my skills and mentality at the time, and I needed to adjust.
This is true, whether you believe it or not. I'm not a god, and there are times when I can't handle a situation and want to escape. I should have been more honest with you earlier, but you know I have a very high opinion of myself. How could I possibly tell someone I'm failing?
I didn’t tell my grandfather about this, but I think he probably understood, so he gave me some time and space, but he didn’t give up on me.”
Xiao Mumu was stunned when he heard this explanation. He didn't feel any better after knowing everything. On the contrary, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
In the silence, Xiao Mumu bit her lower lip tightly, staring at Xiao Xingyu, unable to recover for a long time.
"Where did you put grandpa's notes? Give them back!" Xiao Xingyu asked on behalf of the police, his gentle tone like an older brother treating his younger brother who had made a mistake.
Xiao Mumu sobbed for a while, then choked and said, "...It's in the safe in my bedroom at home."
Xiao Xingyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the old man's hard work had never left the Xiao family. Just as he was thinking this, he heard Xiao Mumu say, "But I took a photo and gave it to... gave it to," he stammered, "to the Japan Technical High Energy Research Institute?"
"What did you say?!" Xiao Xingyu frowned and stood up suddenly. "Ji Xin High Energy Research Institute?"
Xiao Mumu's sobs were interrupted, and under Xiao Xingyu's gaze, he leaned stiffly against the back of the chair.
"What kind of organization is this?" the male policeman asked Xiao Xingyu with a serious look.
Xiao Xingyu's eyes were dark as he spoke, "This is a materials research institute with official Japanese background. They have world-class technical equipment and a first-class team of experts. They have previously deciphered the color rendering mechanism of my country's Jianzhan Yaobian Tianmu." Veins throbbing on Xiao Xingyu's forehead, he asked Xiao Mumu in bewilderment, "How did you get involved with them? And you even took a photo of Grandpa's notes and gave them a copy? Are you stupid?"
The two policemen immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. The male policeman slammed the table and shouted, "Explain the situation quickly! What's going on with this Japanese research institute?"
Xiao Mumu clenched her fingers tightly together, then suddenly looked up and burst out, "Researching celadon porcelain isn't that easy! How can I do it alone? How can we, the old masters at Xiao Sheng, possibly accomplish this? I must collaborate with the world's best scientific research team, and the Jixin High Energy Research Institute is undoubtedly the best choice. They've already agreed to work with me to decipher the craftsmanship of celadon porcelain."
The male police officer was furious: "And you gave your father's information to the Japanese? Boy, to put it bluntly, you're a traitor, don't you understand?!"
The female police officer finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "Why are you so bad?! It's not enough for you to harm people, you're also harming the country. If our ancestors' technology is developed by those Japanese devils first, you will be a sinner for all eternity!"
Xiao Xingyu was speechless about Xiao Mumu's innocence. His head was buzzing. After a long while, he wiped his mouth and nose to calm down and said to himself, "No need to ask, I know who tampered with my car."
"No... Impossible!" Xiao Mumu was horrified and stammered, "How could they... How could they attack you?"
Xiao Xingyu laughed: "Why not? After eight years of the war of resistance, didn't they know the Japanese? Wake up, Mumu. They even want to eliminate a potential rival like me. How could they possibly put a Chinese name on their research results?"
Xiao Mumu's head felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer. He sat in the interrogation chair, sweating profusely for more than ten seconds. When he finally came to his senses, he asked Xiao Xingyu in panic, "Brother, what should we do? I've already given them the materials! What should we do?"
"If you were my son, I would cut you into pieces!" The male policeman was so angry that he was smoking. As a native of Ruzhou, even if his family was not a porcelain maker, he could understand the crisis in this matter.
The policewoman jumped up and said, "That's so stupid! I want to kill you!"
Seeing Xiao Mumu covering his head and pounding himself, Xiao Xingyu comforted him, "At least you're not that stupid. You didn't give the original to them. It's in the safe in your house, right?"
"Yes, Sun Li knows!" Xiao Mumu nodded repeatedly, her intestines turning green with regret, and she burst into tears, "Brother Xingyu, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I deserve to die, I am a sinner of the Xiao family!"
Xiao Xingyu sighed deeply and straightened his expression. "It's okay, I'm here! Right now, only the Japanese have the same reference materials as us. It's not certain who will solve this problem first! Mumu, don't worry about it. Just wait here for the legal judgment and reform yourself. Every failure will teach you a lesson. Always remember that no matter how clever you are, you are not the most powerful one."
He rubbed his index finger across his lips and nose for a moment, then pondered, "I can't tell anyone about this, and I'd also ask the police not to leak it. This involves commercial secrets."
The two policemen agreed with a sigh and looked at Xiao Xingyu anxiously.
Xiao Xingyu stared at the ground and muttered, "It's the Japanese again... Looks like a race has begun."
