Elizabeth’s lips still bore a mocking smile.
She knew that as long as she mentioned Herwen’s name, these people wouldn’t doubt her anymore.
Herwen’s reputation was illustrious and commanded everyone’s respect.
Could his status be compared to that of Ying Zijin, a newcomer who had just stepped into the academic world?
However, the girl’s sudden action made Elizabeth’s smile freeze again. "What did you say?"
She lowered her head and shakily picked up her phone, seeing the number on the screen.
Herwen had a dedicated work phone, which she knew, but it was always managed by an assistant, and it was a landline number.
But the series of digits Zijin had dialed was a mobile number from the O continent.
Elizabeth’s hand shook again and she didn’t move, her brain completely shutting down in that moment.
"You won’t call, will you?" Zijin nodded slightly, and said indifferently, "Let me do it for you."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the girl pressed the call and speaker buttons.
After a few beeps, the call was quickly connected.
The person on the other end sounded very happy, "Ying, have you come to O continent? Or are you calling me for something?"
"Yes, Professor, I am indeed in O continent, and I do need to talk to you." Zijin said, "An assistant researcher in the lab illegally purchased my paper and published it in the journal of the International Physics Center."
This time Herwen had to take it seriously, his usually kind voice sharpening for the first time, "An assistant researcher from the lab bought your paper? Which one?"
"Elizabeth Laurent."
The sound of keyboard tapping came from the other end, clearly looking up information.
After a while, Herwen spoke again, "There is such a person, but she hasn’t had access to the core experimental data yet; if she plagiarized your paper, there will be no place for her in the lab anymore."
Herwen knew exactly who Zijin was.
He didn’t need to ask for proof, he would believe him.
Zijin nodded her head, "Okay, thank you, Professor."
Their conversation ended there.
A few casual sentences decided whether Elizabeth could stay in the lab or not.
