Chapter 154: Wherever You Die, That’s Where
Zhou Huaijin subconsciously denied: "How could that be. I just... just..."
But when people encounter a moment of powerlessness, they will inevitably feel a little confused - if they had chosen another path, wouldn't they be able to just watch everything happen and do nothing?
Chi Wan probably understood what Zhou Huaijin was worried about, and she whispered, "Brother, I know you don't think that way, you just hope you can do more and do better.
"But brother, why do you have to make things difficult for yourself in areas you are not good at? You are clearly shining in the areas you are good at."
She looked straight into Zhou Huaijin's eyes, her eyes were clean and pure: "What Professor Zhang is doing is greater than you think. And you will inherit his legacy, just like he inherited the unfinished work of the previous generation.
“In our country, it is precisely because of the many people like you that ordinary people like us can live peacefully and securely from generation to generation, and make the world around us a better place, right?
"Brother, I know you've only walked into a dead end because you care about me. Just think back to how you felt when you resolutely chose this path, and how happy you were when Professor Zhang's research project yielded results, and you will naturally not feel confused anymore."
Seeing Zhou Huaijin's slightly shocked expression, Chi Wan didn't say anything more.
Han Ming, who had keen hearing and had been paying attention to Chi Wan, looked at Chi Wan with a hint of deeper meaning when he heard these words.
After a while, Zhou Huaijin exhaled lightly, with a somewhat ashamed expression: "Wanwan is obviously younger than me, but I still need you to remind me of these things. I am really going backwards as I grow older."
Chi Wan was right. When he had the choice, he chose this path without hesitation. He hoped that with his meager contribution, more people would no longer have to worry about their livelihood and food.
But at that time, he didn't know Chi Wan.
How could he now doubt the future he had chosen so firmly just because of a setback in his relationship?
The tangle and confusion in Zhou Huaijin's mind gradually dissipated, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Chi Wan gradually returned to its previous gentleness.
Perhaps it was because his life before was too smooth, so there are always a few nodes where there will be small setbacks, which make people more sober.
But Zhou Huaijin still thanked fate for letting him meet Chi Wan.
Even if there is no place for him in the future that Chi Wan expects.
But at least, he clearly saw the future he wanted.

After Professor Zhang finished chatting with the three academicians, they left the laboratory to solve Chi Wan's settlement problem.
Although Chi Wan’s existence will not be exposed for now, as long as China’s technology makes a breakthrough, the world’s attention will be focused on it.
Even though Chi Wan may have enough means to protect himself, they still need to show enough sincerity - at least, they cannot let Chi Wan feel that his decision is not worth it.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences has always had assistance from the National Security Bureau, and the efficiency of the green channel is also amazing.
From proposing Chi Wan to move in here to completing all the formalities, it only took half a day.
Even the place where Chi Wan had rented before was cleaned up by a special person, and everything of Chi Wan's was brought back intact.
All the details show the importance attached to Chi Wan.
This is also to keep a low profile as much as possible to prevent someone from connecting everything together and exposing Chi Wan's existence in advance.
Even Chi Wan's parents, who were traveling abroad, were urgently called back, and safety was the top priority.
Chi Yuanshan and Song Yinghe, a couple who were having a great time outside, never thought that their daughter would treat them to such a high standard just because they were traveling.
Even for the two of them, they had special people assigned to take care of security matters and bring them both back to the country safely.
After the dust settled, Chi Wan sat in the family building assigned to her and chatted with Li Xingye.
As for those academicians, they were busy setting up new experimental projects to carefully study the energy and technology from the end of the world that Chi Wan brought.
After completing the task, Professor Zhang and Zhou Huaijin prepared to return to school. Of course, before going back, the two signed a confidentiality agreement and even had two more security personnel around them.
Zhou Huaijin had been prepared for this. His goal was now clearer than ever before, and when he said goodbye to Chi Wan, he regained his original composure.
But within that calmness, there was something more resolute.

After Chi Wan left school, it did spark a small-scale discussion, mainly among her classmates.
But the public's attention is always easily distracted by new news.
Just like the He family’s affairs, after a week of sensation, they gradually came to an end.
Chi Wan's departure did not cause much waves. Only her roommates and Qin Shi tried to contact her because they were worried that she was influenced by the He family.
Chi Wan comforted them one by one. Although she couldn't tell them what she was doing, she still had the freedom to contact her friends.
After confirming that Chi Wan was not in danger, the girls breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Qin Shi, she can finally start her new life.
Of course, Chi Wan’s “sponsorship” of Qi Youyou did not end because of the fall of the He family. Qi Youyou sent Chi Wan a funding agreement, saying that she was afraid that Chi Wan would “run away.”
Chi Wan was helpless, but he also knew that only in this way would Qi Youyou feel at ease, so he modified the agreement, deleted the interest added by Qi Youyou, and signed it.
Song Baihan, who had avenged his great hatred, tried to find Chi Wan to express his gratitude, but Chi Wan had already been protected by then.
Although he didn't know the inside story, he left a will, leaving all the assets under his name that had nothing to do with the He family to Chi Wan. Then he was too lazy to treat his illness and went out to travel.
In his words, it's up to you to die wherever you are.
Chi Wan did not express any opinion on Song Boyan's "playing badly", she respected Song Boyan's choice.
But she also told Song Baihan that if he wanted to return to his hometown, she would help him.
So Song Baihan would send Chi Wan some photos from time to time, either of scenery or food, to prove that he was still tenaciously living in some corner of the world.
Perhaps because he had no descendants, he regarded Chi Wan as a younger generation to whom he could confide his emotions.
Chi Wan didn't have many other emotions towards Song Baihan, after all, they were not very familiar with each other. But for an old man whose life was about to come to an end, Chi Wan didn't mind him finding some warmth from himself.
After a while, the two of them would chat and occasionally argue.
Three months passed like this, and China's energy upgrade was quietly progressing, but it also attracted the secret attention of many forces.
Chi Wan's existence eventually slowly revealed itself to the public.
