Chapter 630 Plagiarism, Abuse of Scum, Identity Revealed [1st Update]
When Teacher Chen mentioned it, Ying Zijing remembered it.
Last year, she wrote a paper about celestial bodies and parallel universes, which Zuo Li helped her submit to the International Physics Center.
They said they would help her apply for publication in a scientific journal, obtain an honorary title, and thus be promoted to professor.
Later, Zuo Li also told her that the International Physical Society had no vision and rejected her paper, so she could only help her submit it to another astronomical institution.
Zuo Li handled the thesis project entirely, and Ying Zijin trusted him completely.
I never expected something like this to happen.
“Okay, Teacher Chen.” Ying Zijing replied calmly, “I understand. I’ll go to the US right now.”
"No, you can't go!" Professor Chen suddenly became agitated. "Listen to me, they're all in the physics community, they definitely won't hurt Lao Zuo."
"But if you go, they will definitely detain you too."
Ying Zijin's eyes turned colder.
Teacher Chen's tone grew increasingly anxious: "I'm calling just to tell you that I'll go to the principal and I'll definitely get your paper back. You absolutely mustn't take any risks."
“There are some dark sides to academia that you students would never even imagine; deaths are quite common there.”
Just like the Ji family.
In an attempt to prevent Wen Fengmian's experiment from succeeding, they resorted to sabotage, resulting in the deaths of more than a dozen researchers.
Ying Zijing's gaze sharpened: "I know, Teacher Chen, you don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it myself."
Teacher Chen was taken aback: "But your thesis..."
Who would have thought that the president of the International Physics Center would do such a thing, selling Ying Zijing's paper for money and power?
"Don't worry, Professor Chen." Ying Zijing said calmly, "I will get the paper back, and I will bring Professor Zuo out safely as well."
She ended the call, immediately changed direction, and headed towards the airport.
"Hey, hey, hey." Sinai jumped up. "Kid, where are you going?"
“Country M.” Ying Zijing lowered her head and made a phone call to call a private helicopter. “Whether you want to go or not is up to you.”
Sinai thought about Ying Zijin's fighting strength just now.
There are indeed many people chasing her in O Continent, and she is hiding everywhere, so XZ has no way to find her niece.
It's better to follow this awesome kid.
“I’ll go, of course I’ll go.” Sinai decided immediately. “I’ve never been to the United States before. The earth is really bigger than our city.”
Ying Zijing booked the plane and sent Fu Yunshen a text message: "Okay, let's go."
"Sigh, I left in such a hurry that I didn't bring any transportation." Sinai squatted down and patted her shoes twice. "I still have to stand."
After the button was pressed, her shoe soles began to rotate, revealing more than a dozen miniature tires that propelled her forward.
It's very stable and doesn't need to be kept in balance.
Sinai, hands in his pockets, said slowly, "Kid, let's go. This is an autopilot; it'll follow you wherever you go."
Ying Zijin: "..."
Technology is so advanced that it can easily turn people into real lazy pigs.

afternoon.
Emerald green.
Laurent Castle.
On the third-floor balcony, Elizabeth was sunbathing.
She also received a sample copy of the publication sent to her by the International Physics Center, which she carefully read through.
After spending $300 million on a paper, the International Physics Center naturally gave Elizabeth the cover of that issue of the scientific journal.
The cover also featured the title "a once-in-a-century genius girl in the physics world," along with a photo of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was very pleased with this.
She called the International Physics Center back and said she would send another ten million US dollars as a "service fee".
"Thank you, Miss Elizabeth." The president said very respectfully, "But there is something I need to tell you. The original owner of the paper you sold, her teacher, has come looking for us."
"To prevent unnecessary trouble, we detained him."
"They've come looking for us." Elizabeth frowned, then said calmly, "He's certainly very bold. He didn't tell him I bought it?"
“I told him, but he insisted on doing it his own way,” the president said. “Mainly because he submitted his student’s paper to an astronomical institution in O continent.”
Elizabeth's expression changed: "When did this happen?"
"Miss Elizabeth, rest assured, their magazine will not be available until early May."
Elizabeth was relieved.
In this way, she won't be the one caught in the plagiarism scandal.
“Fine, keep it.” Elizabeth said noncommittally. “If that doesn’t work, pay him to shut up. If he’s still bothering us, make him disappear from this world.”
Having received the reply, the president felt more confident: "Yes, Miss Elizabeth."
Elizabeth closed the magazine and made herself a cup of coffee.
Her father, Breuer Laurent, walked in at that moment: "Is there something wrong with your thesis?"
Bruhl Laurent is not the current head of the Laurent family, but rather the younger brother of the current head.
Because Elizabeth was so outstanding, Breuer's status in the Laurent family also rose considerably.
"It's alright, it's been taken care of." Elizabeth shrugged. "There are some blind fools, but they'll behave themselves after a little stern talking. I don't have time to deal with them; I'm waiting to see my master."
“The master certainly values you highly.” Brewer was delighted. “Professor Herwin’s laboratory is not easy to get into, and I didn’t expect the master to make a special trip for you.”
The first thing the head of the Laurent family did personally was to find a few younger members of the Laurent family and send them to Herwin's laboratory.
Elizabeth smiled and said, "Butler Job said that the master did not actually contact Professor Herwin, but the first researcher in the laboratory. My information just happened to match, so he let me in."
“Since you’re the lead researcher, your position in this experiment is almost the same as Herwin’s. We need to keep this a secret.” Brewer nodded. “Anyway, your expertise in physics is quite high, and a paper will only be a bonus.”
Several other family members were competitors of Elizabeth.
Furthermore, they are currently only assistant researchers and have not yet been promoted to full-time positions.
There can only be one full researcher in the end.
If she weren't so eager to get a permanent position, she would have spent a lot of money to buy a paper to solidify her status.
“Of course.” Elizabeth took a sip of coffee. “The International Physics Center won’t release this information on its own initiative. As for that student and professor, they have no evidence, and their authority is not as high as that of the International Physics Center.”
Nobody will believe that.
Brewer was relieved and left the balcony.
Elizabeth glanced at the paper again and exclaimed in surprise once more.
It is indeed more creative than what she wrote.
The viewpoints and theories mentioned in this paper are things that even senior professors might not have thought of.
It's a pity, she has to get the title of full researcher.
We'll give the original author of the paper some money as a consolation prize later.

This way.
International Physics Centre.
The chairman was in high spirits as he looked at the extra ten million US dollars in his account.
He left the office and went to the room where Zuo Li was being held.
Zuo Li was imprisoned on the bed. Except for her hands, her body and legs were chained.
He stared intently at the chairman, without uttering a word.
“Professor Zuo, that’s not very interesting.” The president sat down opposite him and smiled slightly. “Your student is very talented and will definitely write more papers. What’s the harm in selling this one?”
"If you do Miss Elizabeth a favor, won't you have the Laurent family as your backer when the family head changes?"
The president simply couldn't understand Zuo Li's stubbornness.
Zuo Li spat in the president's face and sneered, "Pah! You're a businessman, do you understand how important academic papers are to us?"
The chairman's eyes turned sinister: "You really don't know what's good for you! Guards!"
Several bodyguards walked in, carrying guns.
"Miss Elizabeth said that he could—"
Before the president could finish speaking, a commotion broke out outside the door.
An anxious voice rang out.
"Miss, you can't go! Miss!"
"Miss, if you keep this up, we'll have to call for help!"
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open.
The president frowned: "Who doesn't know that we can't come in here?"
He turned his head and was suddenly stunned.
The girl was exceptionally beautiful, and her clear, phoenix eyes carried a chilling coldness.
It's so bad it's hard to look directly at.
Before the president could react, he was kicked to the ground.
That kick hit his most vulnerable spot perfectly.
"ah--!!!"
A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the room.
The president was writhing in pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Even the bodyguards were stunned.
They stared blankly as the girl walked to the bedside and directly broke the shackles on Zuo Li's body with her hands.
Zuo Li: "..."
What level of combat power is this?
Harder hands than a knife?!
The president finally caught his breath, but was still trembling with pain.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Get her, get her..."
“One paper, three hundred million US dollars.” Ying Zijing lifted him up and slammed him against the wall. “Money is easy to make, you make more money than I do.”
The president shuddered: "I'm warning you, this is the International Physics Center. Don't mess around, or you can forget about ever working in the physics community again!"
He had seen Ying Zijin's photo.
The only one who could come to Zuo Li's rescue was Ying Zijin.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ying Zijing twisted his wrist without any expression.
Another scream rang out, and the president almost fainted from the pain.
Ying Zijing squatted down, grabbed his shoulders, squeezed them tightly, and slowly ground her knuckles against his bones, saying indifferently, "Do you think I don't care about this?"
The president was utterly terrified, screaming incessantly.
He's just a businessman. He usually exercises and has bodyguards protecting him. He's never suffered this kind of injury before.
"Stop!" a bodyguard in black shouted sharply. "If you don't release the chairman, I'll shoot her dead!"
He pointed his gun at Sinai, who had followed him in, and sneered, "My gun doesn't have eyes!"
Ying Zijin turned her head.
"No way, no way, you don't really think I'm easy to bully, do you?" Sinai pressed her watch again. "When I'm normal, I'm at least a mature and sophisticated woman. You're not even as tall as my leg, you know?"
With a "whoosh," a laser beam shot out from the watch and hit the gun in the black-clad bodyguard's hand.
As if it had come into contact with a high-temperature furnace, the gun began to melt like snow, quickly turning into a pool of liquid.
The bodyguard in black was stunned.
His legs trembled, and he knelt on the ground with a thud: "Spare me, spare me!"
Sinai put her hands back in her pockets: "It's boring."
"Let's go." Ying Zijin led Zuo Li out.
The president was still lying on the ground, unable to move.
"Ying, I'm so sorry." Zuo Li was truly remorseful. "I couldn't get your paper back, and now you have to come and save me."
“Power determines who you are; it’s a very common thing. If you don’t have power, you’ll be suppressed.” Ying Zijin reassured him, “Professor Zuo, there’s no need to apologize.”
“I’m fine, but you…” Zuo Li frowned: “Ying, you should go and talk to Professor Herwin. With his status in the physics community, he can definitely protect you.”
“This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.” Ying Zijin raised her eyes. “They’ve obviously done this many times before.”
“Not bad.” Zuo Li clenched his fist. “That damn president just told me that I’m not as sensible as the others.”
How many people must have lost the honor that rightfully belonged to them?
And how many people flaunt others' work in academia?
But they don't have Ying Zijin's background.
Ying Zijing glanced at the sign on the first-floor wall, lost in thought: "The investor in the International Physics Center is the Venus Group?"
Zuo Li was taken aback: "It seems so. Oh, are you looking for President Fu? But he's only the Asia-Pacific president. Investments related to academia are all handled by the Asia-Pacific headquarters."
It's the O Continent headquarters, not the O Alliance region.
Even the president of the O Alliance region does not have the authority to influence academic investment.
Although the Asia-Pacific region has developed well, it cannot compare with the OECD region because it was established later.
"He is not the president of the Asia-Pacific region."
"ah?"
Ying Zijing pressed the number: "He is the CEO."
The plot about buying academic papers actually stems from real-life cases of identity theft.
I wrote a section about high-dimensional and low-dimensional spaces yesterday, but I deleted it after thinking about it. It's just really hard to understand (facepalm).
