Unaware of the situation at home, Liu Shile was currently enjoying a hearty meal, with plenty of meat and vegetables available.
Lin Ziming actually has a large appetite, so the food was cooked so quickly that it could hardly keep up with the two of them eating.
When two people eat together, especially when they're vying for the food, they tend to eat more without realizing it.
Lin Ziming felt that the little girl had lost some weight, so he wanted to feed her well.
However, this was all his misconception; Liu Shile was never the kind of person who would mistreat herself.
So how could she have lost weight? She hasn't gained or lost an inch, okay?
Well, Liu Shile didn't know that Lin Ziming thought she had lost weight, so she didn't pay attention when she saw Lin Ziming putting food on her plate.
After all, that's how they used to eat.
So she would occasionally put food on Lin Ziming's plate.
It took them nearly two hours to finish their meal. Luckily, they were all in excellent physical condition, otherwise they might have suffered from indigestion eating so late at night.
After the meal, Liu Shile had to go back to school, and Lin Ziming also had to rush back to the hotel.
There were still two days until the time they agreed with the general to retrieve their belongings.
They can meet up later; after all, they all have things to do and can't linger too long outside.
When Liu Shile went to school the next day, she saw Irina running towards her like the wind as soon as she arrived at the school gate.
"Lele, it's all settled! My older cousin said he'll handle the management and arrangements; all we have to do is provide the funding and design!"
Because things went so smoothly, Irina was especially excited and couldn't wait to tell Liu Shile as soon as she saw her.
Liu Shile's eyes flickered slightly; she needed to find out who Irina's older cousin was.
She has no problem providing money and technology, but she doesn't want to benefit others.
Although he thought this in his heart, he didn't show it on his face at all.
She added with relief, "Really? That's wonderful! This way, we can still study and grow properly."
Irina nodded. "Yes, that's what my older cousin said too."
She chose this major because she loves medicine, so it's not only unrealistic to expect her to give up her studies to manage a company full-time, but it's also very unreliable.
No matter what, a foreign businessman can never do anything perfectly; it's good enough if he doesn't make any mistakes.
The two talked as they headed toward the classroom.
Then, some of the conversations reached Liu Shile's ears.
"Have you heard? Professor Alex was attacked last night, and I heard he's still unconscious in the hospital!"
Professor Alex?
Liu Shile frowned slightly as she thought of the kind professor and the project he was researching.
Was this an accident or premeditated?
No, she had to go check on Professor Alex.
Yes, the project Professor Alex is working on is extremely important.
If the research is successful, it can benefit many people. But if he is killed, the project will be shelved or taken over by someone else!
"Irina, has something happened to Professor Alex?"
However, Liu Shile did not impulsively leave immediately, but instead asked Irina beside her.
Given her status, it wouldn't be difficult for her to obtain any information.
Irina thought for a moment before nodding, "It seems so. I heard it happened around 3 a.m. last night. Lele, didn't you know?"
Liu Shile shook her head, "I had some things to do yesterday, which led to me sleeping too soundly and I really didn't notice these things."
She wasn't there last night, and by the time she returned, the matter was long over.
However, Irina was unaware of this, assuming that Irina lived far away and therefore hadn't heard the news.
"Hmm, I wonder who would attack Professor Alex."
"The professor is such a nice person, it couldn't have been a revenge killing, could it?"
Liu Shile was speechless, but she felt it was good that the girl didn't know the inside story.
Some things, the more you know, the faster you die.
However, she didn't say anything, only nodding in agreement, "Yes, the professor is such a good person, who was so heartless as to attack him? How is the professor now? Is he alright?"
Irina shook her head. "I don't know about that. I heard she's being treated at Pinghe Hospital, but the results haven't been released yet."
Pinghe Hospital, Liu Shile nodded, this was the best hospital in their city.
After entering the classroom and taking her seat, Liu Shile's mental energy was already heading towards Pinghe Hospital.
Fortunately, Pinghe Hospital is not far from here, otherwise Liu Shile really wouldn't have dared to do this.
However, what happened next made her frown again.
She searched all the operating rooms and emergency rooms at Pinghe Hospital but couldn't find Professor Alex!
So, where did the professor go?
Was she truly rescued and moved to a protected location, or...?
She didn't dare to think about the latter possibility.
She was feeling rather heavy-hearted, which made her expression appear somewhat serious.
Fortunately, everyone was focused on the lesson and no one was paying attention to her.
So, for the first time ever, Liu Shile didn't take many notes in this class.
"Lele, what's wrong? You used to be quite serious about this subject, didn't you?"
Irina nudged Liu Shile's hand and asked her curiously.
They were deskmates, so Irina knew her study habits.
Taking notes was a must; her handwriting was both fast and excellent.
Unfortunately, she wrote in Chinese, and she couldn't understand much of it.
Liu Shile smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that life is unpredictable."
He was perfectly fine yesterday, and today he's injured.
Irina takes it all in stride; after all, that's just how her upbringing was.
"Lele, you can't do this. We are doctors, and we will definitely see a lot of birth, aging, sickness and death in the future."
If you try to sympathize with everyone, it will consume too much of your energy.
On this point, Irina was exceptionally clear-headed, almost to the point of being cold-blooded!
Liu Shile lowered her eyes, looking slightly disappointed, and said, "What you said makes sense. Don't worry, Irina, I'll get back into a better state soon."
Well, in fact, Liu Shile didn't have that much pity either.
But Professor Alex's situation is different. He cannot be harmed, at least not before the research results are available!
What should we do? Where can we find Professor Alex?
Although her mental strength was strong, it couldn't withstand her meticulous searching from a distance.
So she couldn't withdraw her mental energy before the halfway point of the class; she simply couldn't hold on if she didn't.
"I'm still too weak!"
Liu Shile sighed, her mood not very good.
She must find Professor Alex!
However, figuring out how to find it is the problem.
"Hmm, would you like to come with me to see Professor Alex?"
However, Irina still had a good impression of Professor Alex.
The reason is simple: he's handsome.
Cough cough, although he is in his forties, he looks very young.
Moreover, he exudes an aura of maturity and composure, which makes him very popular at school.
