Seeing that there was nothing more to see, Captain Zhao arranged to meet with Dean Wang and his family at the police station the next morning to give their statements, and then rushed back to Shanghai.
He understood that Xiao Xi and Ye Xingxian must have other matters to discuss with Dean Wang and the others, which were not within his responsibilities. He didn't need to stay and become a nuisance, and it was getting late, so he decided to call it a day.
When Dean Wang saw that Captain Zhao and the others had left, and that they hadn't suggested that they return to Shanghai together, he knew that Ye Xingxian and Xiao Xi still had requests.
“It’s really creepy to stay in this courtyard. Let’s go talk in the next courtyard,” Dean Wang said with a smile.
Xiaoxi and the others all felt the same way.
Back in Uncle Tang's courtyard, everyone felt much more at ease.
Dean Wang: "Ministers Ye, thank you again for saving my daughter. How should we thank you?"
He was uneasy and tried asking.
"How about this, we'll offer 50 million as a token of our gratitude. Is that acceptable to you?"
Xiao Xi and Ye Xingxian's purpose was not for this.
Xiaoxi's words were very direct.
"Dean Wang, are we the kind of people who are after that little bit of money? My brother has his own business, and he can make a fortune just by lying around all day. Why would he waste his precious time coming here in his busy schedule for your thank-you money?"
Although the words were blunt, they were the absolute truth.
Dean Wang knew that the Ye family were among the wealthiest people in Shanghai, so giving up 50 million was indeed a bit of a slap in the face.
It turns out that neither of the siblings were after money.
"How about this, I'll apply to my superiors to award you a commendation," Dean Wang said, glancing back and forth between Xiao Xi and Ye Xingxian's expressions.
Ye Xingxian said calmly, "Dean Wang, I am a person outside the secular world and do not care about such superficial things."
"Well?"
"Ugh, Dean Wang, you're actually willing to say that? You went through so much trouble to save your daughter, and you think you can just get away with it with a piece of paper like a certificate? That's not a pleasant thing to hear, so don't say it again." Xiaoxi complained disdainfully.
Dean Wang was extremely embarrassed. The young girl was right; saving his daughter was indeed not something an ordinary person could do.
Moreover, the brother and sister are in different departments, one a metaphysical department and the other a special department. In short, they both deal with metaphysics, and in a word, they are experts!
Since he is a highly accomplished person, he certainly doesn't care about empty awards and commendations.
Dean Wang broke out in a cold sweat: Money wasn't an option, nor was any honor. What were they after? Could it be the confidential technical documents from their academy?
What if the brother and sister actually bring up something related to secrets of the Academy of Sciences?
I will definitely refuse, even if it means being labeled as ungrateful.
So Dean Wang braced himself and asked, "Ministers Ye, I really don't know what kind of thank-you gift would move you?"
Ye Xingxian didn't want to waste any more time.
"It's very simple, just arrange for three people to join your Shanghai Academy of Sciences."
My eighth brother is a child prodigy in science and technology. One of his two friends is a PhD from Stanford University, and the other, a little sister, is also a science and technology prodigy like him.
Although my eighth brother and this little sister don't have much formal education, they're incredibly capable at scientific research.
Huh? The Ye siblings went through all that trouble to save their daughter, and this is what they wanted? Can I say no?
Dean Wang is extremely worried.
Xiao Xi looked at Dean Wang with the eyes of someone looking at an ungrateful person, which made him tremble with fear. He felt like he was being manipulated. These two siblings were so scary. He wanted to run away. What should he do?
Ye Xingxian also gave him a cold look. "Dean Wang, just tell me, is this even feasible? Actually, my brother and I didn't need to come all the way to this countryside. With our abilities, are we supposed to arrange for three people..."
