Lu Jingye looked down at the young lady in front of him and frowned. “Why didn’t you run?”
He released her after he said that.
Zi Yi clicked her tongue. “I was held down by Qin Yuqiao and couldn’t run.”
She looked towards where Qin Yuqiao was.
Qin Yuqiao had been knocked away rather forcefully and she was currently wailing in pain. Zi Yi controlled the smile that was attempting to creep up, and turned to look at Lu Jingye. “Why are you here?”
“I have a collaboration with the School of Mechanical Design.”
Lu Jingye only revealed this small amount of information and Zi Yi did not pry further.
Qin Yuqiao cried for a while before she finally recalled Zi Yi and hastily looked around. When she saw the crowd surrounding her, she hastily asked, “Have you seen the girl that was with me?”
The crowd helped her to look around and got out of her way shortly after.
The first person Qin Yuqiao saw was not Zi Yi. Instead, it was Lu Jingye. There was shock and pleasant surprise in her eyes.
“Second Brother.”
Zi Yi looked at Qin Yuqiao with narrowed eyes. It seemed like she had not been hit hard enough earlier.
Just then, Lu Jingye said to Qin Yuqiao, “Your face is bleeding.”
His words first caused her to be stunned for a second. When she finally reacted, she immediately covered her face.
“Ahh…”
That scream of hers shocked everyone to the extent that they took a step back.
Zi Yi’s lips finally curved up.
It looks like this woman cares a lot about her appearance.
Just then, a middle-aged man spoke up. “Have two female students bring this young lady to the school’s clinic for a check-up to see if she has injured herself anywhere else.”
Immediately, two female students came forward and supported Qin Yuqiao to her feet.
Qin Yuqiao cared a lot about her image, especially in front of Lu Jingye. She constantly covered her face with her arm as she sobbed and was dragged away.
Just then, the middle-aged man who was standing in front of the robot turned around and looked at everyone. Traces of excitement flashed in his eyes, and yet his expression appeared serious. “Who stopped the robot earlier?”
Zi Yi had not paid attention earlier and only realized that the man was the original owner’s Eldest Uncle, Dou Xiaoyong.
Many people had shaken their heads in denial and in the end, no one came forward to admit it.
Just then, Lu Jingye’s deliberately suppressed voice sounded in her ear. “Was it you?”
Zi Yi tilted her head and looked at him. She neither admitted nor denied it. Instead, she showed him a gesture of sealing her mouth.
Lu Jingye looked towards Dou Xiaoyong and said, “Professor Dou, you should be asking who is the one who let the robot out. Why was it not brought under control even after such a long time?”
The moment Lu Jingye spoke, everyone looked towards him.
Dou Xiaoyong’s gaze, however, stopped on Zi Yi and a trace of confusion flashed across his face.
Why does that young lady standing next to Lu Jingye seem so familiar?
However, now was not the time to study her. With Lu Jingye’s reminder, his expression became even more severe.
“Who is doing the research this robot?”
“Professor Dou, it’s… it’s me.” A spectacled male student walked out.
“Zhang Tong?” Evidently, Dou Xiaoyong recognized him. He furrowed his brows. “Why did you commit such a low-level mistake?”
“I…”
“I’ve mentioned this before. X program and Y program cannot be changed. Also…”
Dou Xiaoyong gave a long speech using professional terms. The more he spoke, the wider Zhang Tong’s eyes became. In the end, he had a confused expression.
After Dou Xiaoyong said his piece, he hastily said, “Professor Dou, I only accidentally changed the X program and Y program sequence and I haven’t touched anything else.”
“Impossible! If you only changed these two programs, the robot would not start attacking people. Moreover, with how the program was changed for the robot, it was impossible to stop the rampaging robot.”
Zhang Tong felt like crying out of anxiousness. “I really didn’t change anything else.”
Dou Xiaoyong stared at him for several seconds and his tone became a little anxious. “Who last touched the robot?”
