Chapter 106: Respecting Knowledge, Respecting Scientific Research

In early April, Lu Yu met Li Chaoyan from a research institute under the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, along with Zheng Qu, another researcher specializing in plant transgenics, at the Outer River Nebula.

Both men were in their forties. Perhaps due to their lifelong dedication to research, they possessed a scholarly air and did not appear to be adept at social maneuvering.

Lu Yu had always categorized people into three types: those who focus on things, those who focus on people, and those who focus on money. Li Chaoyan and Zheng Qu were clearly the first type.

Consequently, Fang Liang successfully joined the heavy artillery company as he had wished and was immediately assigned to the newly formed combat engineer platoon. Tang Jixian was naturally overjoyed; he personally arranged for Fang Liang’s accommodation and, after showering the armament chief with profuse thanks, hurried off to discuss engineering tactics with Fang Liang.

Today, dressed in vibrant red wedding attire, he looked imposing and heroic. He always offered her a gentle gaze at just the right moment, steadying her unsettled heart.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Ai Si’s worried expression. Ai Mu felt her legs go weak and hurriedly grabbed the cabinet beside her.

The Evil Shadow pondered its scheme, then turned a cruel gaze toward Kong Xuan and his companions. The figure grew to over ten thousand feet in height, and the ethereal, flickering shadow of evil reached out to snatch them.

In truth, from a purely strategic standpoint, Yin Gezhi certainly wanted to dispose of Yi Guoru. Yet, perhaps due to his connection with Yi Zhangzhu, he seemed to get along with Yi Guoru quite well, maintaining a polite and harmonious demeanor without a trace of resentment for having been taken prisoner.

Shan Liancheng straightened his posture, brushed a few wrinkles from his clothes, leaned back comfortably in his chair, and tilted his head slightly.

Will’s gift to Li Mu was the most perfunctory of all: merely a box of ordinary Havana cigars, the most common variety found in any Men’s Club specialty store. One had to wonder if Will had just bought them right before dinner.

There are many people in this world who do not know how to hold their tongues, but Xu Huaizu was the only one who dared to spout nonsense while facing the terrifying glare of Yin Gezhi.

Who would have thought that even under such strict requirements, Bo Yi would still commit a mistake so intolerable that it left him filled with both disappointment and rage?

"Your word doesn't count," Zhao Kuangluan said, stepping forward. His face bore a tragic expression, yet it carried an unshakable resolve.

In an instant, as if pushed from heaven, Qian Yue lost all interest in humor or conversation.

"What? Still angry with me?" Yin Yiting’s mood improved noticeably as he listened to her voice during the brief call he had managed to squeeze in.

Whenever she imagined Yun Yan losing all his divine and demonic powers because of Mo Yuan, her heart felt as if it were pierced by countless sharp silver needles, causing her to choke with palpitations.

"Besides, even if we don't have money, we have hands and feet to work and support ourselves, so don't worry," Luo Qing said, reaching out to pinch my cheek.

I could not be bothered to listen to Jiang Zuoyi’s nonsense. After he had set me up so badly in front of Shu Yan, did he really expect me to believe he would try to save me now?

Having said this, he did not wish to further demoralize the soldiers. Some things are understood instantly, while others require time to digest.

Su Bei frowned. "You brought him to the interrogation room based on just this?" However, he already sensed that the matter was far from simple.

He signaled to the two managers with his eyes, then lunged forward, using his body to physically pull them apart. "Ting, that’s enough! Stop it! Do you want to beat him to death?"

Sister Shi Yu seemed to perceive An Ye’s restlessness and said softly, "Yezi, don't fret. You did the right thing. If you hadn't stopped Yang Chen, who knows what other trouble would have arisen?" As she spoke, she glanced at me and sighed slightly.

He had saved these people for last, naturally wanting to avoid leaking the news of his return too early.
