Rubbing his hands, he said, “Are you guys willing to publicize the mechanism and process of building these devices?”
Xiao Ying was about to nod when she was stopped by Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao’s emotionless face turned cold as he said, “No.”
Lu Lin choked, but he could only glare.
After all, this was their freedom. He turned around and left in a huff.
Xiao Ying asked in confusion, “Why?”
Zhou Yao’s expression was deep. Just as Xiao Ying thought that he would say something reasonable…
He said calmly, “His attitude towards you just now was not good.”
Xiao Ying couldn’t help but laugh. She stroked his head and said, “Just because of this?”
But Zhou Yao’s expression was very serious.
Lu Lin, who had just left, returned and said with a bad expression, “Aren’t you guys coming?”
Xiao Ying and Xiao Ying looked at each other and followed.
Lu Lin took out the document that he was working on and let the two of them read it carefully.
This was considered an official acceptance of them.
Xiao Ying and Zhou Yao were by Lu Lin’s side as his assistants.
After a few days, Lu Lin felt that with their help, he was really too relaxed.
He didn’t have to worry about anything. He just had to watch over the research process.
If there were people who liked them, there were people who disliked them.
Today, Xiao Ying had something to do and left first.
Zhou Yao stayed behind to pack alone. Suddenly, the lights in the research lab flashed.
Zhou Yao frowned and quickened his movements, not thinking much of it.
The next second, the lights dimmed.
He heard the door close.
Zhou Yao groped for the door and it was indeed locked.
The research lab was special. Once the door was closed, it would automatically release cold air to maintain the survival of the experimental subjects.
However, this temperature was fatal to humans.
He quickly took out his phone, but the signal was cut off.
The person outside locked the door and smiled smugly.
In a few days, it would be time for Elder Zheng to select members for his team. His team was a symbol of authority.
This Zhou Yao shouldn’t even think of snatching the qualifications from him.
He was not prepared to actually kill him. He’ll let him out when the time came to it.
As long as he fell ill for a few days and missed Elder Zheng’s selection date, everything would be fine.
Xiao Ying had already returned to the dormitory at this time. She took out the things she had brought for Zhou Yao and knocked on his door.
But there was no response.
She felt strange in her heart. After interacting for such a long time, she had long seen that Zhou Yao did not have much enthusiasm for scientific research. He would not forget to eat and sleep for the sake of research.
She turned around to look and bumped into Chen Qiang, who had just entered.
When he saw Xiao Ying, he smiled and asked, “Academician Xiao Ying, it’s already so late. Where are you going?”
Xiao Ying said straightforwardly, “I’m looking for Zhou Yao.”
Chen Qiang’s eyes flashed as he said, “You guys are really close.”
Xiao Ying looked at the person who stopped her and said, “Do you need something?”
Chen Qiang said, “I just saw Zhou Yao go out. I think someone from his family came.”
Xiao Ying’s gaze changed slightly as she asked, “His uncle came to look for him?”
Chen Qiang immediately said, “Yes, his uncle.”
Xiao Ying suddenly smiled and nodded. “I’ll go take a look at the entrance too.”
After leaving the dormitory, she didn’t walk towards the entrance. Instead, she walked straight towards the research lab.
Something must have happened to Zhou Yao. Furthermore, it had something to do with Chen Qiang.
Zhou Yao’s uncle was Academician Cheng Yao. He was in the research institute. How could he be looking for him from outside?
Chen Qiang was still wearing his uniform. It was obvious that he had just returned from the research institute.
Xiao Ying’s footsteps became faster and faster before she finally started running.
Zhou Yao hugged his arms and squatted down, trying to maintain his body temperature.
But even so, his teeth were chattering from the cold.
Xiao Ying quickly passed through all the closed laboratories. At this time, many of the laboratories were still brightly lit.
This greatly reduced the problem of Xiao Ying finding people.
