Chapter 335: 324 Face Aches, IBI Comes for Miss Ying [1 Update]
Pei Tianyi suddenly looked up, taken aback, “Professor?”
He didn’t think there was anything wrong with his concerns.
Because such an incident had happened before.
Research data from the laboratory had been leaked by a new assistant, causing irreparable damage.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that this assistant was a spy sent by hostile forces to steal research data.
But at the time, no one had anticipated such an event, nor did anyone suspect this assistant.
Because the assistant was a newly graduated college student who had been invited to join the laboratory.
They were highly talented in research and a genius.
In O Continent, laboratories are classified by levels.
The physics laboratory where Herwen worked was the highest S-level, with strict confidentiality. How could they let just anyone in?
“Pei Tianyi, if Classmate Ying really wanted those, she wouldn’t have still helped you locate where I was,” Herwen said, visibly disappointed. “It’s okay to be cautious, but it’s not right to speculate about others like this.” freeweɓnøvel.com
He stuck to those two words: “Apologize.”
Pei Tianyi’s nerves tensed up in an instant.
Although Herwen wasn’t his mentor and was not related to his field of study,
Herwen held a high status in the academic community, one which his own mentor could not compare to.
He had always been the favored son of the heavens; from a young age, he was the teacher’s favorite student. He had never been spoken to in this way before.
In the meeting room, the gaze of several other teachers turned towards him.
It was like a thorn in his back.
Pei Tianyi pursed his lips, stood up, and bowed deeply to Ying Zijin, saying the three difficult words, “I’m sorry.”
Ying Zijin didn’t look at him and posed several more questions related to Quantum Mechanics, “Professor, let’s continue.”
Herwen’s attention was drawn back by these questions, and he began talking enthusiastically again.
Pei Tianyi couldn’t describe how he was feeling inside.
Nothing was more uncomfortable than being completely ignored.
He sat on the side, silent and not speaking.
But he had to admit that indeed, it was because of Ying Zijin that Herwen had been rescued.
His phone rang at this moment, and Pei Tianyi, feeling as if he had been saved, went out to answer it.
The call was from a laboratory in O Continent, inquiring about the well-being of Herwen.
After responding to each question, Pei Tianyi ended the call.
He didn’t return to the meeting room but went back to his own room instead.

Inside the meeting room.
Herwen talked for four straight hours.
The few teachers who had stayed to learn ended up feeling dizzy and overwhelmed, their minds filled with cosmic aircraft carriers.
They all had to admire Ying Zijin, who even occasionally continued to ask questions.
There is a natural difference in people’s intelligence levels.
“Hey, Classmate Ying, have you considered my proposal?” Herwen, feeling like he had found a kindred spirit in Quantum Mechanics, was very pleased. “If you are willing, I can approve it right now.”
“I’m considering it,” Ying Zijin paused to think for a moment. “But I haven’t finished my high school studies yet. Maybe after I graduate, I might go.”
Quantum Mechanics and space were the only areas of scientific research she was currently interested in.
In the current academic field, no one had surpassed Herwen in this domain.
“No, no, no, you don’t need to go to high school,” Herwen said urgently. “Your level has already far exceeded the graduate students I’ve been supervising. Skip grades, skip them right away. I can help with that, too.”
“Please, Professor, there’s absolutely no need,” Ying Zijin paused, her tone very diplomatic. “Please let me enjoy a bit more of my relaxed time, to take a break.”
Herwen: “…”
He was starting to have trouble understanding the young people of today.
Here he was, over sixty years old and not yet thinking of retiring, while she was talking about taking a break.
“Alright,” Herwen reluctantly agreed. “I’ll file it first, and you can just come over when it’s time.”
After sending Ying Zijin off, Herwen called his laboratory.
“Yes, my laboratory will be adding one person. Not now—she hasn’t graduated high school yet. I’ll contact her after she graduates,” he said.
The researcher answering the phone at the laboratory was genuinely shocked.
Herwen’s laboratory was unlike any other, as the research topics were so complex that only those at least at a professorial level could enter.
Even the few graduate students Herwen supervised at the university were not allowed in the laboratory.
How could he suddenly take a fancy to taking in a high school student?
Although the researcher found it strange, they prepared as instructed.
