After the robbery failed, she passed through the wealthy family and lay flat.

At this moment, Luo Linger's cell phone rang.

It was Dong Lin calling.

Luo Ling'er picked it up smoothly: "Hello."

Dong Lin had already finished his work, so he called her to ask how long she had to leave, and told her that he would wait for her outside with his car.

Luo Ling'er happened to be going back to check Luke's information, so she told him, "I'll be out right away."

When Jiang Hongfeng heard that she was about to leave, he frowned and said, "You're leaving? Jiang Xin, come here later, why don't you come with us to the bar for a drink?"

Luo Ling'er hung up the phone before hearing Jiang Hongfeng's words.

She put away her mobile phone and said, "I'm a little tired after running all day today. I want to go back to rest early, so I won't go."

Luo Ling'er raised her hand at him, leaving him with a back view, and left.

After Luo Ling'er returned to the villa, she went to the room to take a shower.

Then he turned on the computer, logged in to his account, entered Luke's name in the search bar of the hacker website, and hit the Enter key.

Hundreds of messages quickly popped up on the screen.

Luo Ling'er pulled out the chair and sat down, swipe down with the mouse, and sift through the information one by one.

Move the mouse until the third page.

She finally saw a useful message.

"The Luke family has spent tens of billions to support scientific research institutions and recruit talented people."

Luo Ling'er stared at the message for a while, then picked up the charging phone on the table, walked to the window and called Du Xingli.

It's about ten o'clock at night now.

Du Xingli had already prepared to rest.

Luo Linger's call just woke him up, and he was not angry. After receiving the call, he asked gently: "What's the matter, why are you calling me so late. Did something happen to you?"

Out of the corner of Luo Ling'er's eye, the news on the computer was still on the search from the hacker website. The source of the news is unknown, and it has been almost 20 years.

The time point of 20 years is very ambiguous.

Luo Ling'er clenched the phone tightly, looked down, and asked him straightforwardly: "I heard that the Luke family once spent tens of billions to support a scientific research institution. Is this research institution a research institute?"

"Where did you see this news?" Du Xingli woke up from a doze, and asked her immediately.

Luo Ling'er leaned against the window sill, looking at the bright night outside, with the cool night breeze blowing in her ears, and said lightly: "I found it on the black Internet."

"I met Luke tonight."

Du Xingli was shocked: "Did you meet Mr. Luke tonight?"

"Well, a friend introduced me to him. I checked him when I came back, and I saw this news."

Du Xingli did not hesitate, immediately put on his coat and walked to the study, saying: "Wait for me, I will call you right away."

"Okay." Luo Ling'er hung up the phone.

……

Du Xingli didn't make her wait too long.

10 minute later.

Du Xingli called over, but it was not an ordinary call, but a video call.

Luo Linger clicked to confirm.

Du Xingli appeared in front of her. Looking at the row of bookcases behind the room's furnishings, she could see where Du Xingli was.

Du Xingli was only wearing thin pajamas and a coat on his shoulders. His old face was serious, and he asked her concisely: "Are you checking your mother's affairs?"

This was the first time Luo Ling'er heard him mention her life experience.

After all, there was a lot of trouble in the Gao family, and with Du Xingli's status, it was impossible that he hadn't heard any rumors.

But Du Xingli never showed any intention of knowing about this matter.

Luo Ling'er never mentioned it to him.

At this time, Du Xingli faced this problem without any concealment.

Luo Ling'er was also happy.

"Yes, I have been investigating the cause of her death."

Du Xingli knew the answer clearly, but when he heard the girl on the other end of the video admit it without hesitation, he still took a breath and sighed deeply: "You shouldn't get into this muddy water. I've never been willing to ask you, I just don’t want you to get stuck in it. You don’t want to go back to Gao’s house, so I thought you didn’t care about it. Who knew you had been checking it.”

Luo Ling'er was noncommittal.

Du Xingli was silent for a moment, and then said, "How much have you found?"

Luo Ling'er returned to the room, put her mobile phone on the stand of the desk, and then stepped aside so that Du Xingli could see her completely: "It was found that her death was related to the Gao family, and the research institute kept it secret."

There was a trace of shame on Du Xingli's face: "I..."

Luo Ling'er continued: "I found out that there seems to be a big hand behind everything that is controlling everything. It's not a person, it's a force, and they don't want me to get to the bottom of it."

"Even... they are trying to find a way to cover their mouths and make everyone who knew the inside story shut up and not promote Liu Wan."

Du Xingli lowered his head.

After a long, long time.

He raised his head and said to the girl on the other side of the video: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, and it's not that I'm afraid. I don't tell you to protect you. But since you want to know, you've been looking into it. I'd rather Seeing you hit a wall and get hurt, I might as well tell you."

"However, what I know is limited. There are too many forces involved. I can only find out the tip of the iceberg about your mother for so many years."

Next, Luo Ling'er quietly listened to Du Xingli tell her what happened 20 years ago.

one hour later.

Luo Ling'er hung up Du Xingli's phone call.

Looking at the computer screen, I couldn't recover for a long time.

Du Xingli really didn't know much, he only knew the relevant parts of the research.

Twenty years ago, Gao Liuwan entered a top laboratory in her early twenties, and formed a scientific research team with equally talented Yu Yaru and Qian Keyan.

At the beginning of the group, the relationship between everyone was very good.

However, a year later, no one knows what conflicts occurred among the members of the group.

In short, the final result was that Gao Liuwan left the southeast region, Yu Yaru fell ill, and Qian Keyan stayed in the research institute alone.

As for the Luke family's financial support for the institute, Du Xingli also spoke directly.

Any research requires a lot of money. The research institute is just a research institution and has no ability to make money. In many cases, it needs to rely on the financial support of various forces.

Luke represents the hidden family behind it.

Before Du Xingli took over the institute, the Yinshi family had been providing a large amount of financial support to the institute.

In exchange of course.

The Hidden Family has the priority to use the results developed by the research institute.

Du Xingli didn't know why Gao Liuwan left the institute, but he also told Luo Ling'er in the video that he had always suspected that Gao Liuwan's death had something to do with the hermit family.

As for the relationship.

His status is not qualified enough to touch these secrets.

A secret that Du Xingli's current status and status cannot touch
Luo Ling'er raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes became more interested, and she wanted to investigate to the end even more!
The next day.

Luo Linger went to the institute early in the morning.

Instead of going to the top laboratory, she called Du Xingli, and through Du Xingli's relationship, she went into the institute's archives to search for information all morning.

Luo Ling'er searched in the archives all morning, but could find only a handful of information related to 20 years ago.

It can be seen that these people do things very cleanly, leaving almost no useful information.

Luo Ling'er had already guessed that this would be the result and was not discouraged.

She stayed in the file room until three o'clock in the afternoon, found a few interesting file bags, registered her name at the debit office, took these file bags away, and planned to take them back to continue researching.

She walked out of the file room.

Then I received a call from Song Fei.

Luo Ling'er tucked the portfolio under her arm and picked it up casually: "Hello, teacher."

"Come to the office." Song Fei hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Luo Ling'er looked at the phone, eyes narrowed slightly, slowly put the phone into his pocket, glanced in the direction of Du Xingli's office, and moved over there.

She hasn't been back to the institute for a long time.

Everyone she met along the way looked at her.

In Du Xingli's office.

Song Fei, You Ling and several laboratory leaders were there.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the office was tense.

No one spoke in the office, all eyes were on the person standing in the middle.

After a while of stalemate.

Du Xingli put the form back on the table with an extremely ugly face, said with a cold face and a deadpan expression: "I don't agree!"

Gao Ziyuan came prepared this time, how could she be beaten back because of such a small setback.

She smiled slightly, looked very polite, and said elegantly:

"Dean, I know that I'm not from the institute anymore. But you said to the public that the conditions for participating in this selection are not limited to the institute, and anyone who meets the conditions outside can participate. I meet the conditions you said, There's no reason why I can't participate?"

Qian Keyan spoke for her from the side: "Yes, Dean, Ziyuan meets all the conditions proposed by our research institute, and logically she is also qualified to participate in the selection of heirs. We can't be too double-standard, and it won't sound good if it spreads. "

Song Fei frowned, took a step forward, and cut off his words: "What do you mean by that? Are you questioning the dean's public revenge?"

Facing his questioning, Qian Keyan just smiled, and said calmly: "I didn't say that. I just think we can't influence the selection of future heirs of the research institute because of our personal likes and dislikes. After all, Gao Ziyuan meets all the conditions, We have no reason not to allow her to participate in the selection. Unless..."

Qian Keyan looked at Du Xingli, with no respect on his face and full of provocation: "Unless the dean can give us all a reasonable reason, I cannot accept this result."

"Are you sure you want a reasonable reason?" Du Xingli was rarely so angry. He walked up to Qian Keyan. His old eyes were not clouded by the erosion of time, but they showed wisdom and sharpness that ordinary people lack.

Qian Keyan couldn't help but move his eyes away from his gaze, and didn't dare to look at him, but he still didn't make any concessions, and said righteously:

"It's not just me, I believe everyone here wants to hear the reason why you don't allow Gao Ziyuan to participate, Dean."

You Ling was the first to sneer at him without giving him face:

"Team Leader Qian, if you want to protect your own people, no one will stop you. Don't drag us into it. We didn't say a word! From the beginning to the end, it was you who said that we are different from you. We are still People who know they are from the institute.”

"Team Leader You, forget it, just stop saying a few words."

Seeing that Qian Keyan's face sank in an instant, the head of the junior laboratory beside You Ling quickly grabbed You Ling's arm and persuaded her in a low voice.

You Ling gave a 'tsk' sound,
She didn't look into Qian Keyan's knife-like eyes at all, and said with a light smile: "I'm telling the truth, those who know know that Team Leader Qian is from the research institute, and those who don't know think that Team Leader Qian is from the Gao family. "

"I'm not defending anyone, I just follow the rules!" Qian Keyan laughed at her and said angrily.

You Ling adjusted her collar disapprovingly: "Oh."

A meaningful 'oh' immediately annoyed Qian Keyan again!
This You Ling is as difficult as Luo Ling'er!
No wonder the two are friends!

Gao Ziyuan stood up at this time, and said without a trace: "Dean, I signed up according to the conditions you said. Don't I meet the conditions you said? If I meet the conditions, I also want to know why I can't participate The selection of the successor of the institute? Could it be because you have a good relationship with Luo Linger in private, and I offended her before. Because of her, you don't want me to participate in the selection?"

She is a smart person. She said it so clearly and directly pointed the finger at Luo Ling'er, who was not present. Instead, she confirmed that Du Xingli was "small-bellied chicken intestines" and "revenged a public vendetta" against her, deliberately attacking a junior.

Du Xingli himself was not particularly angry, but Gao Ziyuan brought up Luo Ling'er and blamed Luo Ling'er.

He laughed angrily, but calmed down quickly, looked at Gao Ziyuan's pretty face, and asked her directly: "You said you met the conditions I said, let me ask you, are those the results you made yourself?"

If Gao Ziyuan didn't have this mentality, she wouldn't be where she is today. Without batting an eyelid, she said frankly, "Of course it's my own achievement. If I published something other than my own, someone would have already reported it." me."

Gao Liuwan passed away long ago.

It is certainly impossible for a dead person to expose her.

Gao Ziyuan must have known this very well, so she was so unscrupulous in taking things as her own, because she was sure that the dead could not speak.

Du Xingli took a deep breath, his temples bulged:
"Your own results? You haven't published any results in the institute for seven years, and you have published three important results in a row after leaving the institute for a month. Do you think this matter itself is normal?"

Gao Ziyuan didn't make eye contact with him at all, and still had that calm attitude: "Well, I don't think the dean should ask me, he should ask, the institute."

The meaning in the words is that the research institute has delayed her!

You Ling, Song Fei and several other laboratory leaders all looked angry, obviously unable to accept Gao Ziyuan's slander of the institute.

Only Qian Keyan didn't respond at all. In his heart, he seemed to have no sense of honor that a researcher should have.

Du Xingli did not expect Gao Ziyuan to be so young and calm. He took a very deep look at the young man standing in front of him.

There is something in the words: "You are very good at talking."

Gao Ziyuan shrugged slightly, with a smiling mask on her face all the time, standing still: "The dean himself is also a scientific researcher. You should be very clear that research takes ten years of sharpening a sword. Sometimes we can do it in ten or twenty years. Not one result can be produced, and sometimes seven or eight results may be produced after a sudden inspiration. These are normal situations.”

"I also came up with three results after I left the research institute, after a flash of inspiration, and after deliberation and experimentation myself."

"I know that I still have shortcomings, but I'm working hard to do it. The dean shouldn't keep denying me because of a past thing. Maybe you will re-examine me and find my advantages?"

Du Xingli understood it completely.

Gao Ziyuan came here today, determined to sign up no matter what.

She has no psychological burden at all, no guilt or shame.

I'm afraid that in her eyes, the results she stole are the result of her own hard work, and she also worked hard to 'steal'.

It's her skill to steal.

How could outsiders blame her?

After Du Xingli was extremely angry, he calmed down instead, and was about to tell her that whatever she said, he would not let her sign up.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Du Xingli frowned and looked back: "Go out first..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw clearly who was standing at the door.

Immediately forgetting Gao Ziyuan and Qian Keyan who hadn't left in the office, they walked quickly towards Luo Linger: "Why are you here?"

Luo Ling'er didn't say that Song Fei had called her, but took the file bag and looked inside. She saw Gao Ziyuan, Qian Keyan and others standing inside, and she knew what was going on.

"What are they doing here?"

When Du Xingli thought of Gao Ziyuan's "good deeds", he was afraid that Luo Ling'er would walk over and slap her to death.

"They, don't worry about them, go back first."

Luo Ling'er walked around him and walked inside.

When she passed by Gao Ziyuan and Qian Keyan, she paused for a moment and cast a slanted glance at them.

She didn't speak to either of them, though.

Instead, he walked up to Song Fei and handed a completed form to Song Fei: "Teacher, I'm here to sign up."

All the people present were stunned.

You Ling was a little excited: "You, have you thought about it?"

"Yes." Luo Ling'er responded, with a hint of warmth in her eyes. She put down the form and said calmly: "I didn't have anything to think about."

The research institute is where Gao Liuwan has worked hard all his life.

She has a special affection for research.

In addition, Du Xingli, You Ling, Mou Qiangsheng, Ming Nuan, and Ding Lei are all in the research institute, so it is impossible for her to let the research institute fall into the hands of someone like Gao Ziyuan.

So after receiving Song Fei's call, she called Sheng Qiang to inquire about the situation.

Sheng Qiang spent a whole day doing experiments without knowing anything.

But Liu Yang was just an inquisitor, and soon he got a lot of information through his friendship.

Luo Ling'er knew that Gao Ziyuan was coming, and basically guessed what was going on.

Before she came, she went to the top laboratory to make a form, filled in her name and basic information, and then came to the office.

"Can I sign up?" Luo Ling'er put down the form and asked Song Fei again.

Song Fei came back to her senses, picked up her registration form and read it again, with a rare smile on her face: "Of course."

"You still made one or two mistakes in this form. I'll tell you later that you need to change it."

"it is good."

Luo Ling'er agreed readily.

The girl's arrogant appearance made Gao Ziyuan clenched her fists involuntarily.

She tried her best to endure it, and then said to Du Xingli: "Dean, since I meet your conditions, I think there should be no problem with my registration, right?"

Du Xingli hasn't spoken yet.

Luo Ling'er seemed to be interested, looked at her and said, "What are the conditions?"

Gao Ziyuan didn't want to talk to her at first, but when she remembered what Luo Ling'er had warned her when she met Luo Ling'er in Interstellar, she suppressed her displeasure, and said lightly, "The dean's request is that I have to be published in the Southeast Science Journal." published results."

"Oh?" Luo Ling'er seemed to be more interested, and fixed her eyes on her: "So you have published your results in scientific journals?"

Gao Ziyuan felt extremely annoyed as if she was pierced by her gaze, and said with a half smile, "Of course I have published the results."

Luo Ling'er looked at the arrogance in her expression, looked away lightly, and said to Du Xingli: "Since she meets the qualifications and wants to sign up wholeheartedly, we can't force him to stop him from signing up, and turn around and let him go outside to talk about you Double standards, how unpleasant."

Qian Keyan had just said before that Du Xingli "can't have double standards". He was accidentally slapped in the face. He didn't look good, but he was too embarrassed to jump out and admit that he was that person.

Du Xingli frowned, looked at the girl, not knowing what she was thinking: "What do you mean?"

"If she wants to sign up, let her sign up. There are more people signing up. One more is not too much, one less is not a lot." The girl's eyebrows were casual.

He did not shy away from Gao Ziyuan and Qian Keyan at all.

This attitude is infuriating.

But Gao Ziyuan was planning to step on Du Xingli's position by winning the position of the future heir of the research institute, how could she be willing to give up this opportunity.

What if Du Xingli became stubborn and didn't agree with her to sign up?
So even if she felt that Luo Ling'er looked down on her and humiliated her, she still stubbornly stood where she was, without saying a word.

Du Xingli took a deep look at her, thinking that Luke and the Hermit family would also participate as partners in the selection of the future heir by the institute.

He also thought that Luo Ling'er had just met Luke yesterday, and Luke had sent him a message later, specifically asking about the newcomers in his institute this year, obviously he had a good impression of Luo Ling'er.

After thinking about it, Du Xingli figured it out, and said to Song Fei, "You can record it for them."

Song Fei responded, sat in front of the computer and began to enter the registration information of the two of them.

During this gap, Du Xingli looked at Gao Ziyuan again, with a calm expression, and only said: "Just put down the registration form."

"I won't stop you, but I want to remind you."

Gao Ziyuan looked over and looked very elegant: "Dean, please tell me."

Du Xingli said in a deep voice: "What is yours is yours, what is not yours, even if you have it temporarily, it doesn't mean it belongs to you."

Stolen things don't last long.

If Gao Ziyuan continues to be so insatiable, she will overturn sooner or later!
After Du Xingli finished speaking, the smile on the corner of Gao Ziyuan's mouth disappeared without a trace.Fortunately, she was very good at disguising herself and quickly covered it up. She even thanked Du Xingli very politely: "Thank you, Dean. I will keep what you said in mind."

Du Xingli looked at her with clear eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

He kept watching Gao Ziyuan's hand tightened by his side, and then he looked away expressionlessly, and said to Song Fei, "You can enter her information."

"I've already recorded it." Song Fei raised his head from the computer and said.

Gao Ziyuan achieved her goal and knew that Du Xingli and others did not welcome her.

She greeted the heads of various laboratories with great insight, and then told Du Xingli generously, preparing to leave.

Before Gao Ziyuan left, she paused, then suddenly turned her head, looked at the girl leaning against the desk, and walked towards her.

Everyone frowned, not understanding what she wanted to do.

Even Qian Keyan was startled and reached out to stop him: "The dean and the others are all here. If you have anything to say, please go back."

"I just want to chat with Luo Ling'er." Gao Ziyuan was smiling and looked easy to talk to, but she pulled Qian Keyan's arm in front of her without any trace and continued walking in Luo Ling'er's direction.

The office is such a big place.

She walked up to the girl and stood still in three or two steps, and said, "Luo Ling'er, we will be competitors next, right? I won't lose to you."

In the last sentence, she put the accent on the word 'lose', as if losing to Luo Ling'er last time was a great shame in her heart.

Luo Ling'er raised her eyelids and looked directly at her.

only one glance.

Gao Ziyuan felt the pressure from Luo Ling'er.

She had difficulty breathing for a while.

Even though she pressed the tip of her tongue and gritted her teeth to not show her timidity, Gao Ziyuan clearly felt that she had lost her momentum in this second!
Gao Ziyuan looked at her unwillingly: "I will go all out this time! Luo Ling'er, you have to be careful."

"Finished?" The girl raised her eyelids, Gao Ziyuan was not visible in her cold eyes.

"It's over."

Gao Ziyuan felt as if she had punched the cotton heavily. She shook hands, pursed her lips, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Luo Ling'er, I'm not the one you knew a month ago. You still think I'll lose to you easily, you're so naive."

Luo Ling'er stood with her hands on the edge of the table, her height immediately crushing half of Gao Ziyuan's head. Her black eyelashes drooped slightly, her eyes were very mocking, and she said:

"I thought you could pretend from the beginning to the end, but it turned out that you failed before you even stepped out of the door. From this point of view, you don't seem to be much different from a month ago. Your acting skills are still average, and you haven't seen much improvement."

Gao Ziyuan's smile disappeared and her face sank.

Luo Ling'er suddenly lowered her head, and suddenly moved close to her, her eyes met. Gao Ziyuan dodged for a moment, and then quickly bit her lip and stuck her neck to hold on.

Luo Linger sneered, imitating her to lower her voice, and said in a calm voice with only two people: "I know what you're thinking. But I'm sorry, I want the research institute. The Hermit Family, tsk, if you If you want to go, I won't stop you."

"Our goals are different."

Gao Ziyuan's face changed when she heard her bluntly mentioning the 'Hidden Family'. She turned sideways and looked in the direction of Du Xingli.

Obviously wondering if Du Xingli introduced Luke to Luo Ling'er.

As soon as she thought that she was one step behind, the winning ticket in her chest immediately became restless and impetuous, and her face was uncertain.

Not long after Gao Ziyuan left, Qian Keyan also found an excuse to leave.

Du Xingli asked Song Fei, You Ling and several laboratory leaders to go out first, leaving Luo Linger alone.

After everyone goes out.

Du Xingli walked over immediately: "Why did you let Gao Ziyuan sign up? She came prepared this time, you are too reckless. You should ask me."

Luo Ling'er walked to the computer in Du Xingli's office and sat down. She looked up information on the computer and answered his question: "I heard that Gao Ziyuan has been in a lot of limelight recently."

Du Xingli's eyes averted for a moment, he clenched his fist to cover his mouth and coughed covertly: "Don't worry about this."

He didn't want to cover up the scandal for Gao Ziyuan, but he didn't want Luo Linger to settle accounts with Gao Ziyuan and his party on impulse.

After all, Gao Ziyuan has the support of the Gao family.

Luo Ling'er is easy to suffer alone.

What's more, there is no evidence for this matter itself.

If he had evidence, he would have put everything out there and asked Gao Shiqiang for an explanation.

While talking to him, Luo Ling'er called up the official website of the Science Journal, then entered Gao Ziyuan's name in the search bar, and hit the Enter key.

Three research results published on the official website popped up on the computer.

Luo Ling'er looked at the computer screen intently, operated the mouse one by one, and read the results that Gao Ziyuan kept saying at a glance.

Du Xingli stretched his neck to look at the computer, and was startled: "You, did you find it?"

Luo Ling'er generously moved her chair back to make way for him to see.

When Du Xingli saw the official website of the scientific newspaper displayed on Luo Linger's computer, and a public announcement that Luo Linger opened, he knew that Luo Linger knew everything.

He rubbed his temples with his hands and said, "That's what you saw. She has 'overcome' three core technology researches in a row and has achieved results. Can outsiders not pay attention to her? So many people have been looking for her recently, Her name is growing in the Southeast."

Luo Ling'er sat on the chair, crossed her arms with her hands, tapped her arms with her fingers, and patiently listened to Du Xingli's words.

Just when Du Xingli thought she hadn't noticed.

She said softly: "So, Gao Ziyuan took my mother's research results from somewhere."

Du Xingli suddenly looked up at her, opened his mouth, and the expression on his old face changed, but he could not deny her guess.

Seeing his reaction, Luo Linger knew that she had guessed right. She put her hands down, stood up from the chair, paced over, and said:
"More than 20 years ago, everyone in the top laboratory had a notebook for recording experimental data. My aunt gave her notebook to me. Qian Keyan's notebook should be firmly in his own hands, and it is impossible to give it to others easily. And the money Ke Yan is good at the field of physics, and his achievements in the field of physics are not even as good as You Ling's, and he doesn't have that much ability to make Gao Ziyuan show off."

"So, the results published by Gao Ziyuan are the records she stole from my mother's notebook."

"You didn't let me agree to her registration at the beginning, because you were worried that she would use the contents of the notebook to win me."

Du Xingli knew that she was very smart, but he didn't expect that Luo Ling'er was smarter than he thought.He didn't say anything, Luo Ling'er already knew everything.

Including his mental activities, she was able to see clearly.

Du Xingli smiled ashamedly, and said, "Sorry, I failed to protect your mother's research results."

"She is a member of the research institute. It is said that the research institute is responsible for protecting her achievements, but I really have no evidence to prove that Gao Ziyuan obtained these achievements by stealing things."

Du Xingli looked guilty, unable to face the girl standing in front of him, and said in a low voice: "I contacted her privately and warned her not to cross the line again."

"But no one is willing to give up easily in the face of a huge temptation, let alone someone like Gao Ziyuan." Du Xingli shook his head impatiently, there is no good way to deal with the current situation.

Luo Ling'er lowered her head, slowly took out her cell phone and sent a message.He raised his head and said to Du Xingli: "It's okay, I will solve this matter."

outside the institute.

Gao Ziyuan just opened the door and didn't have time to get in the car.

Qian Keyan chased after her, stopped her with a serious expression, and said, "What did you say to Luo Ling'er just now?"

Gao Ziyuan didn't expect that he would catch up with her and ask her about this. She was unhappy, but she didn't show it: "I just said a few words to her casually."

Qian Keyan seemed to have knives in his eyes. He looked at her for a while, then let go of his hand and said coldly, "I advise you not to provoke her."

"You are at a critical moment now, and there is no good fruit to mess with her." Qian Keyan said in a bad tone: "You haven't been able to meet Mr. Luke before. Before you meet Mr. Luke, you'd better not cause trouble, let alone Don't provoke Luo Linger."

Gao Ziyuan pinched her nails tightly, lowered her eyes, and said very obediently: "I see."

"Also." Qian Keyan didn't notice the annoyance in her eyes, looked at her and continued: "From now on, you don't mention the research results of scientific journals outside."

Gao Ziyuan suddenly raised his head to see what he found.

Qian Keyan didn't shy away from it, and made eye contact with her directly, as if he already knew what was going on with her research results that had been making a big splash in the past month.

Gao Ziyuan immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, and grabbed her hand even harder: "Yes, teacher."

"En." Qian Keyan reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and said in a slow tone, "Be patient, we will trample them under our feet sooner or later."

Gao Ziyuan responded obediently.

Qian Keyan received a call from the laboratory and had no time to continue chatting with her. He reminded her again and asked her not to go out to show off those research results.

Then hurried back to the institute.

Gao Ziyuan waited for his back to disappear, her smile disappeared immediately, she opened the door expressionlessly and got into the car, telling the driver: "Go back."

The driver saw that she was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to show any emotion, so he immediately turned around and drove towards Gao Ziyuan's residence in the southeast region.

……

For the next few days, Gao Ziyuan was worried that Luo Ling'er would notice something, but everything was calm, as if their conflict in the office that day did not exist.

Gao Ziyuan gradually relaxed and stopped caring about papers in scientific newspapers.

Instead, she focused her energy on inquiring about Luke's itinerary, and asked Gao Jian to track Luke's itinerary for her, looking forward to meeting Luke.

Qian Keyan didn't receive a call from Luke for two days, thinking that Luke politely expressed on the phone before that he would take time to meet with them.

He hesitated again and again, and chose to call Luke on his own initiative.

Luke picked up pretty quickly.

Hearing the middle-aged man's voice, Qian Keyan immediately lifted his spirits, got up and walked outside, and said cautiously: "Hello, Mr. Luke, I'm Qian Keyan from the research institute. We made an appointment before, how about you?" remember?"

hotel.

He was not the only one in Luke's suite, there were also visiting guests. When he heard Qian Keyan introducing himself, he was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to remember who 'Qian Keyan' was.

Due to Du Xingli's face, he was more polite: "I remember. Is there something wrong?"

Qian Keyan bet all his treasures on Gao Ziyuan, and he did not hesitate to offend Du Xingli and Song Fei for Gao Ziyuan, so he naturally wanted to do his best for Gao Ziyuan's future.

So he licked his old face and said, "A student I mentioned to you before, let's see when you have time."

Luke frowned, as if remembering something, and asked, "What's the name of the student you mentioned?"

Qian Keyan immediately said, "Gao Ziyuan."

"She is the most talented person in the new generation of the Gao family. She has some strength, so I take the liberty to bring her to visit you. I don't know if it's convenient for you."

Qian Keyan specially moved the "Gao family" out, which undoubtedly brought a layer of gold to Gao Ziyuan and increased Gao Ziyuan's worth.

However, after a long silence, Luke's eyes fell on the visiting guests, and he said for a long time: "I heard that what she recently published in scientific journals is the result of stealing others..."

Qian Keyan's heart sank: "Mr. Luke, is this a misunderstanding? Those achievements have never been published. Even if there are similar achievements, it should be a 'coincidence', and it will not involve such serious theft."

"Is it?"

Qian Keyan heard the sound of his heart beating, and said in a deep voice, sonorously and forcefully: "Mr. Luke, I use the reputation of the institute as a guarantee. There must be a misunderstanding. Or a 'coincidence'."

Luo Ling'er was sitting on the sofa in the suite drinking coffee. Her slender fingers were stroking the body of the cup. A few strands of black hair hung down on her eyebrows. Her face was fair and she looked very relaxed.

He didn't listen to Qian Keyan's explanation, but asked him shallowly: "Then tell me, what kind of coincidence can make her 'coincidentally' publish the research results that others did not publish 20 years ago?"

As if Qian Keyan was struck by lightning, he never expected that Luke would know that what Gao Ziyuan published in the past month were all the unpublished research results of Gao Liuwan more than 20 years ago.

He didn't speak for a moment.

Luke patiently told him: "Ask her to find a reasonable reason to explain to me. If she can explain it clearly, I will see her."

"If not, I'm sorry, I don't have time to see her."

This is tantamount to saying no.

Luke hung up the phone without giving Qian Keyan a chance to explain.

He turned back to the living room, put down his phone, looked at the girl sitting on the sofa, and said in a slightly surprised tone:

"I didn't expect 0 to be so young..."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Luke would choose to believe me." The girl put down her coffee cup and raised her head, revealing a delicate face.

Seeing her outstanding appearance, Luke was slightly dazzled, then paused again, and said, "You really look like an old friend I know."

"Your mother..." Luke just started talking, shook his head to himself, and said, "Forget it, it shouldn't be possible."

Luo Ling'er saw him mention Gao Liuwan, lowered his head and touched the bridge of his nose, then stood up.Pick up the notebook on the table and leave, saying:
"Thank you Mr. Luke today, I won't bother you any more."

Seeing that she was leaving, Luke stopped her in time: "Miss Luo, wait a minute."

Luo Ling'er stopped and turned to look at him: "Is there anything else?"

Luke touched her clear eyes again, and couldn't help but think of the dead man again.

He was in a trance for a second, then pinched his palms to force himself to wake up, and said to the girl solemnly, "Can I ask you a question?"

Luo Ling'er turned around and answered him very politely: "Please tell me." (End of this chapter)
