Chapter 784: 628 Unaffordable Lorentz Family, Aunt and Nephew Meet [1 Update]_2

After all, compared with the latter two, Elizabeth was far from enough.

The vice-chairman took a sharp breath, "So that’s how it is, this Miss Elizabeth is indeed formidable."

"But you’re right," the president narrowed his eyes, "Zuo Li is the rising star of the physics community, and it’s possible he knows some people."

"I heard that he also knows Herwen, let’s detain him first."

Once the two scientific journals are distributed globally, it wouldn’t matter if Zuo Li could prove that Ying Zijin’s paper was submitted before Elizabeth’s, he wouldn’t be able to clear his name.

They only had to claim it was fabricated.

Could Zuo Li and his students turn the situation around?

The president took a sip of tea, "Send someone to handle it, take good care of him after the arrest, and release him after the journal is published."

The airport.

Zuo Li was on the phone with the Celestial Body Institution Center in O continent, "Yes, there’s been a problem, please withdraw my student’s paper for now, I will bear all the losses."

Zuo Li hung up the phone and was about to call Ying Zijin.

This was his oversight, having failed to consider all aspects, which led to Ying Zijin’s paper being stolen.

But now he couldn’t even protect his student, and could only let her deal with it on her own, which he felt very sorry about.

In Zuo Li’s teaching career, he had never encountered something that made him feel so helpless.

However, before he could dial the number, his neck suddenly went numb.

Then, his field of vision plunged into darkness.

Two people sent by the International Physics Center carefully carried Zuo Li out.

Other people at the airport saw this but didn’t find it surprising, and indifferently withdrew their gaze.

**

Two days later.

O continent.

J country.

The headquarters of the Venus Group was located here.

Ying Zijin and Fu Yunshen left the airport together and got into the car.

Ying Zijin glanced at the car’s equipment and raised an eyebrow, "Do you like collecting cars?"

When she and Xiu Yu had participated in the Manson family’s car race, Fu Yunshen had nonchalantly gifted her a T-brand racing car that had been retired from racing for twenty years.

This was not something that could be done with just money.

"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen lifted his eyelids, "This old man still has hobbies."

He turned the steering wheel, heading to the hotel in the city center.

On the way, the car’s phone automatically connected.

It was a video call, with Li Xini on the screen.

"Reporting to the commander, the protection target has not appeared yet, continuing surveillance."

"Good, got it."

The video flickered and then ended.

Ying Zijin turned her head, "Protection target?"

"Yes." Fu Yunshen tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, his eyes dark, "Just recently, all top fifty hunters on the NOK forum received an anonymous private message with a bounty."

"The target is a six-year-old girl, but there’s no clear face. Hunters are moving large scale. I’ve got IBI watching them; they can’t hurt this little girl."

This little girl might be their only way to that secret location.

But up to now, there has been no news of any little girl dying or getting hurt.

It must mean that the hunters haven’t found her yet.

Ying Zijin lifted her gaze, "A six-year-old girl?"

"Yes," said Fu Yunshen, "Yaoyao, you don’t have a hunter’s account, do you?"

Ying Zijin shook her head slightly, "No."

The Diviner’s account was not on the hunters’ list either.

After changing the rules of the trading area that day, she hadn’t logged into the NOK forum again.

"I’m also curious, who she has offended," Fu Yunshen said in a low voice, "to be worth a bounty of ten billion US dollars."

Ying Zijin frowned, "I’ll have someone look into it."

She forwarded the message to the vice-chancellor, asking Norton University to start investigating as well.

Before long, the car stopped in front of the hotel.

Fu Yunshen didn’t get out of the car, his arm resting on the car window, "Yaoyao, the room is booked, I need to visit the Presidential Mansion in J country for something."

"Fine," Ying Zijin nodded, "I’ll go out to have fun."
