The fact that Professor Song Lixing was secretly brought back to China was not made public. Moreover, as soon as he returned, Yun Duo had Xiao Jiu detoxify him. After meeting His Majesty the King and a very small number of high-ranking officials who were absolutely loyal to China and could not be bypassed, as well as two core members of the Royal Committee, he secretly led a team to the northern border of China to establish and preside over a secret research base.
As for Yun Duo, after returning to China, she was still confined to her home by Gu Shaoyong, who wouldn't let her leave the house for a month as a form of 'punishment,' for which Zhou Huiyu complained about her several times.
Gu Shaoyong was genuinely terrified by what Yun Duo had done in Huadu, but he didn't dare tell Zhou Huiyu the truth. So he made up some excuse, saying that Yun Duo had done something wrong in Huadu, which made Zhou Huiyu want to argue with him.
However, Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi, after learning about the attack on the flower capital of M country by countless swarms of bees (this matter could not be kept secret), nodded and felt that Yun Duo should be locked up to prevent her from becoming too audacious and causing even bigger trouble.
Although Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi did not explicitly state why Yun Duo should be restrained or confined, Zhou Huiyu still stopped causing trouble for Gu Shaoyong.
Zhou Huiyu was genuinely grateful to the two elderly people and treated them with the utmost respect. Although she still felt sorry for her daughter, she no longer objected to Gu Shaoyong's 'stay-at-home order' for Yun Duo.
Yun Duo didn't care whether she was confined or not, it wasn't a big deal. Anyway, she didn't have much to do besides reading. Besides, Xiao Jiu had actually made quite a haul this time. It had secretly brought back several kinds of fierce ant and bee 'kings' and had settled them all near Kyoto.
Fearing a major negative impact on China's ecology, Yun Duo specifically instructed Xiao Jiu not to allow the ants and bees to reproduce normally, only allowing them to maintain a minimum standard of reproduction to sustain the population, and even designating specific areas for them.
The specifics of how to handle it were discussed and decided by her and Xiao Jiu themselves, which was quite energy-consuming. Therefore, Yun Duo didn't really have the energy to care about anything else. In fact, she didn't even have the energy to see her 'teacher,' Dr. Zhou Linong. So, the excuse of being confined to her home came in handy.
Zhou Linong has returned from Xichuan, bringing back a lot of wild rice and even barnyard grass, which he has planted in a specially built greenhouse as if they were treasures. He is trying to use various scientific methods to revive the withered wild rice and barnyard grass. The greenhouse is located on the estate that Gu Shaoyong gave to Yun Duo, and Gu Shaoyong is covering all the expenses.
Yun Duo was a little embarrassed to say that Zhou Linong was working for free, actually wasting money and energy...
Fortunately, it was all paid for by her father; otherwise, Yun Duo would have felt even more guilty if she had tried to squeeze out the meager funding from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Even so, Yun Duo was still a little embarrassed to see Zhou Linong.
Of course, Zhou Linong didn't come looking for her either.
After all, Zhou Linong was unaware that he was working for nothing, destined to end up with nothing. His mind was now entirely focused on the wild rice he had brought back; he believed that whether he could achieve his goal depended entirely on this wild rice and barnyard grass.
According to the person in charge of the estate there, Zhou Linong now eats, lives, and sleeps in a greenhouse, and he seems to want to sleep with his precious wild rice stalks.
