In the end, Shenhai decided to go back and discuss it with the rest of the team before making a decision.
Lin Ziyan wasn't worried at all about him refusing.
The chubby girl glanced at her friend and said, "Impressive, forcing Professor Shen to persuade others himself."
"Ayan, I have a feeling you've already planned to invest in a research team?"
Lin Ziyan smiled faintly and remained silent. She had indeed thought it through long ago, and even planned to go to the principal to discuss cooperation if Professor Shen and the others refused.
She provides the funding, and the school provides the talent—a win-win situation.
…
Meanwhile, in Germany.
Lin Jun sat in his grandfather's study, looking at the empty bookshelves, and wiped his face.
He hasn't gotten his law license yet, so he can't even see his grandfather.
The old housekeeper suddenly disappeared, and Grandpa was taken away by special forces, who also searched the house.
Lin Jun cannot contact his parents; they may be conducting closed-door research.
His parents used to not contact the family for a year or two, so Lin Jun had gotten used to solving problems independently.
But this time, he was a little unsure where to begin.
Rongkai Group has been coveted by capital here for a long time. If it weren't for the professional managers holding it together, it might have been swallowed up by other capital long ago.
Taking advantage of the situation, Maiwei joined forces with other shipping groups to target Rongkai Group's stock.
He hasn't received any news yet, but he knows it won't be easy to get through this smoothly.
Lin Jun picked up the phone, then slowly put it down.
His grandfather had said that if something happened at home, he shouldn't call back to China, otherwise people with ulterior motives would take advantage of him.
But my grandfather has been taken away for almost a month, and there has been no news of him.
I wonder if my aunt will have any suspicions when she receives the wedding gift...
Meanwhile, on the other side, at night.
Lin Ziyan was opening the gift box her uncle had given her, looking at the two delivery receipts.
The greeting card imitated her uncle's handwriting, but she recognized it at a glance.
A gentle evening breeze blows, and moonlight extends through the curtains, casting a soft shadow.
"No news from Germany. I guess the messages were intercepted." Lu Yun Shen said as he walked out of the bathroom, drying his hair.
He hung the towel on the shelf next to him and sat down on the sofa.
Lu Yunshen's hair fell down his forehead, and water droplets slid down from the roots and then disappeared into the collar of his bathrobe.
His sharply defined jawline was taut, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and glittering light shimmered in his dark eyes.
"Have you booked the plane tickets?" Lin Ziyan admired the handsome man emerging from the bath for a while, then walked over and sat down next to him.
Lu Yun Shen glanced at her, then slowly and methodically washed the teacup, and said gently,
"I booked it for two days later."
He couldn't predict what he would encounter on this trip.
All of Xiao Jin's people abroad have rushed to Germany. If something really happens, they'll still have a way out.
If even Rongkai Group can be manipulated, then the person who orchestrated all of this must have already planned it out long ago.
Lu Yunshen even suspected that Qi Wei's attack was part of the other party's plan.
Concern leads to confusion; they're already caught up in the situation.
"Do you think it was when we went to Germany last time that Uncle gave us away?"
Lin Ziyan murmured, her expression complex.
Nothing happened for so many years...
"Perhaps." Lu Yunshen did not hide his guess.
He handed her a cup of tea and continued.
"They must have set a trap from the beginning, making us fall into it automatically."
"And I've heard that my uncle didn't attend the wedding last time because he went to Germany,"
Lu Yunshen had reasons why he had to go, and so did Lin Ziyan.
Rongkai Group cannot afford to run into trouble. If it falls into the hands of other capital, it will become a lamb to the slaughter, at the mercy of others.
The construction of the port may also change.
“Qi Wei has also recently gone on a mission, I guess he’s going to Germany as well,” Lu Yunshen added.
He held Lin Ziyan's hand. This trip to Germany was fraught with danger, and he didn't really want her to come with him.
Moreover, if things are stirred up there, things will also move on the domestic side.
"Don't worry, I won't rush forward. I'll do my best to ensure my own safety." Lin Ziyan squeezed his hand back and smiled faintly.
Lu Yun Shen chuckled, "You'll stay right behind me, and you're not allowed to act alone."
"Wang Erniu will be going to Fuzhou tomorrow to be the factory manager of the electrical appliance factory. He is capable of handling the job."
He didn't know why Ayan insisted on making Wang Erniu the factory manager, but he didn't ask any further questions.
"Okay, I'll go to the electronics factory again tomorrow and just stay home and organize my clothes and stuff." Lin Ziyan finished her tea in one gulp, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.
With Wang Erniu at the electronics factory, she felt safe enough to go to Germany.
Rongkai Group is not the only company being targeted.
Now, electrical appliance factories are also being targeted.
Lin Ziyan rested her head on Lu Yunshen's shoulder, enjoying a rare moment of peace and tranquility.
Grandma said she'd be making perfume balm tomorrow and asked her to help.
Lin Ziyan initially wanted to refuse, but when she heard that Aunt Huang was also going, she readily agreed.
"There are several small ceramic items on your dressing table. You still collect these?"
Lu Yun Shen's gaze fell on the dressing table, and he asked suspiciously.
He wanted to ask this question on the first day he moved in.
Finally, tonight... I get some rest.
Lu Yunshen's dark eyes deepened, his fingertips caressing Lin Ziyan's shoulder, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.
“Those are skincare products and cosmetics that my grandmother gave me.” Lin Ziyan’s back stiffened slightly. She grabbed his mischievous hand and glared at him.
Her beautiful eyes shimmered with moisture, and that glare made Lu Yun Shen even more itchy.
He simply pulled her to sit on his lap.
“I think I’ve seen shops selling these things in Yangzhou before. I thought they sold ceramics.” Lu Yunshen raised an eyebrow slightly.
Lin Ziyan yawned, squinted her eyes, and drowsiness washed over her. She murmured, "Next time, let's go to Yangzhou together..."
A gentle evening breeze swept in, pecking at a corner of the curtains and bringing a touch of coolness.
Lu Yunshen simply picked her up and carried her to the big bed.
Under the warm orange light, the shadows of the two people were magnified and elongated, reflected on the curtains and swaying with the light.
On the other side of the village,
Shen Hai and several professors sat under a tree enjoying the shade; they would return to the university in another day.
This research team has been officially disbanded.
"Please consider my proposal. If you're not willing, you don't have to come." Shen Hai's voice was calm, revealing no other emotion.
The others all lowered their heads and remained silent.
In fact, they were all very interested.
They can join the research team after returning to school, and they can also bring their students to practice in the future, so they have no reason to refuse.
He wasn't in a hurry to sink into the sea, leisurely rolling his pipe.
He used to buy cigarettes with filters, but since coming here he has mostly smoked these kinds of cigarettes.
"We can only bring two students each time we come. With so many people around, it's no wonder we have to be cautious," Shen Hai decided to set the rules in advance.
He used to get dizzy and overwhelmed by the thought of his medicine powder being switched, and he never wanted to deal with that again; in his view, it was a waste of time.
"Wow!"
One of them replied.
Shen Hai looked at him and nodded.
He then glanced at the others, his eyes questioning.
"Old Shen, your student is amazing." Another person sighed and agreed to join.
The moonlight was alluring, and all was quiet.
The village seemed to be swallowed by darkness...
