Chapter 369 The right way in the world is Cangsang!
"What's going on? Why did you make this thing?" Lou Shanchuan asked after a short silence.
Su Mei replied, "I didn't think much about it. I just suddenly remembered this. I put it in the safe after I made it. I thought we couldn't make a fuss, so I taught them a lesson first.
I can't let them come and go in my place every day as if they were alone, right?"
"Your master brought you into the research institute because he hopes that you can create more things that benefit mankind, not let you think about creating things that harm people." Lou Shanchuan looked earnest and a little angry.
This sounds reasonable, but Su Mei disagrees. "If they didn't have evil intentions and didn't take the initiative to provoke, then this wouldn't have happened."
"Gao Yu did enter your laboratory! What about the others? Do you have any evidence to prove who instructed Gao Yu? What if you are caught and they sacrifice Gao Yu to accuse you of maliciously spreading infectious diseases?" Lou Shanchuan's eyes were red and he became angrier the more he spoke.
He stared at Su Mei, and before she could say anything, he asked again, "Have you told anyone about this?"
"No." Su Mei shook her head.
"That's good." Lou Shanchuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't mention this to anyone else. Tell me the production process of that thing, and I'll go to the lab to make another one.
After the product was ready, I honestly admitted that it was due to poor management of the drugs I was researching that led to the leak.
I will help you handle this matter. You are still young and have a long way to go. Remember not to go astray in the future."
The moment he finished speaking, Lou Shanchuan sat down on the chair behind him. All the strength in his body seemed to be drained away in an instant, and he leaned on the chair like a pile of mud.
The heaviness of his expression, as if he had made a major decision, shocked Su Mei instantly.
"Teacher Lou, are you going to plead guilty for me?" Su Mei asked uncertainly.
She knew that Lou Shanchuan was very good to her and was not much different from Qin Zhengting.
From Lou Shanchuan's loving eyes, Su Mei could feel that Lou Shanchuan had the kind of affection and intimacy towards her that an elder has for a younger person.
But she didn't expect that Lou Shanchuan was willing to sacrifice himself like this.
The key is that he made this decision without any hesitation. This is a great spirit of sacrifice.
You have to know that professors and scholars of this era are extremely protective of their reputations.
To take on this crime would mean losing one's integrity. Su Mei didn't know why Lou Shanchuan did this, so she asked again, "Why?"
"Your talent and ability are outstanding, and you will be able to make great contributions to the country in the future.
It doesn't matter if I, an old man, step down. Anyway, I have already given away everything I can.
You were probably just confused this time. Don't use such despicable means to deal with others in the future. It's not worth it to ruin your life for those scumbags.
Go ahead and write it! It’s okay, I just leaked it accidentally, at most I’ll be fired, there won’t be any other problems.”
How could there be no other problems? Su Mei already knew what kind of era this was. If Lou Shanchuan really admitted this, he would go to jail.
But the matter is far from being that serious, at least not to the point where someone needs to take the blame.
While she was shocked, Su Mei had to explain clearly to Lou Shanchuan:
"Teacher, there's no need to confess this. The powder I made was only the size of a fingernail. After the accident, I destroyed the body and the evidence!"
"No! If you don't take the medicine out, what about the antidote? Are you really planning to kill someone?
"Su Mei, we should be worthy of heaven and earth. Could it be that your master recommended you here just to let you kill people without anyone noticing?" Lou Shanchuan was angry again, looking like a man who was very disappointed with his friend.
Seeing that Lou Shanchuan was thinking more and more, Su Mei hurriedly continued to explain:
"Teacher Lou, you are taking this too seriously! It's not life-threatening. The powder will only make people who come into contact with it itch for three days. It's embarrassing and painful, and no antidote is needed.
And it is limited in its contagiousness, it won’t infect anyone else, and this thing will soon be gone with the wind.”
"It won't infect other people?" Lou Shanchuan was skeptical. "But I heard that it's extremely powerful. Even someone as patient as Lu Aoxiong was lying on the hospital bed, twisted into a maggot..."
"It does itch a lot, it's called itching powder, but it's just a minor skin problem, it won't kill you! So we can just sit back and do nothing." There's nothing to admit, just pretend you don't know what happened and just watch the fun.
Hearing that the drug had no toxic effects, Lou Shanchuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't use this kind of harmful stuff in the future!"
"Okay, let's not do it anymore." Su Mei nodded guiltily and changed the subject:
"Speaking of which, this powder needs contact to be contagious. It made me figure out one thing. It turns out that the person behind Gao Yu is not Gao Ehai, but Lu Aoxiong."
"This heavy rain has brought many unexpected results." Lou Shanchuan said solemnly.
Su Mei nodded: "Yes! By the way, there is one more thing. Lu Xu officially told me that he wants to stand on my side."
"What did you say?" Lou Shanchuan asked.
Su Mei then told Lou Shanchuan what Lu Xu had said and the conditions he proposed.
She told Lou Shanchuan about this because Lou Shanchuan was, after all, someone who mingled in the upper-class society, and he had to find someone in that circle to understand these complicated secret histories of the harem.
If you have the chance, playing mahjong with those rich ladies might be more effective than asking the police.
Lou Shanchuan was not optimistic about Lu Xu, but he still promised Su Mei that he would try to find out more.
The topic was changed by Su Mei, and finally changed back by Lou Shanchuan: "Let's not make this matter public. Let time digest it slowly, and don't do these crooked ways in the future.
The country provides us with resources, not for us to harm others for our own selfish desires. We must behave uprightly in our conduct and work. "
"I'll remember it!" Su Mei agreed obediently.
The older generation is upright but also pedantic. Su Mei agreed only because she didn't want to argue, but that doesn't mean she completely agrees with what they said.
To deal with a villain, you have to use villain methods, or even be more villainous than the villain.
What's the point of talking about benevolence, righteousness, and reason with a villain?
Young people have their own ideas. Lou Shanchuan could see that Su Mei didn't take his words to heart.
But she had agreed on the surface, so he couldn't correct her.
I had to remind her: "If you walk by the river often, your shoes will get wet. We should try to keep our feet on the ground.
Since ancient times, the world has not been clear, and the right path in the world is always changing."
