Zhou Jian raised his head, his eyes became determined, as if he had made a decision in his heart.
"Brother Jiang Yue, I really don't know where the scientific research information is. But I remembered an unusual detail."
"What unusual details?"
"That night, I met Professor Lu and Assistant Zuo in the restaurant. Assistant Zuo was very enthusiastic. He talked and laughed with my girlfriend. The two of them chatted very well, just like they have been best friends for many years. We were eating at a buffet, and we were picking up food. When I was there, I greeted Professor Lu several times, and he seemed very cold. He just responded to me with a few hums and hums, and had no intention of talking to me..."
"At the time, I thought Professor Lu felt that he had a high status and didn't want to deal with a nobody like me. I felt a little angry, but I didn't particularly care. My thinking at the time was that I didn't want to flatter you, but I just respected that you are from Star City University. Professor, if you want to put on a show, I’m too lazy to pay attention to you.”
"So the next few times I took meals, I deliberately avoided Professor Lu. Wherever he was in the area, I walked to other areas. But what I didn't expect was that not long after, Professor Lu suddenly took the initiative to walk to my area. , when he walked up to me, he suddenly said something out of nowhere."
"What did you say? Do you remember?"
"The immortal touches my head."
"That's it?"
"That's it!" Zhou Jian nodded, "I was confused at the time and thought he wasn't talking to me. But at that time, there was no one else in that area."
"Did you go back and ask Professor Lu?"
"No!" Zhou Jian shook his head, "Professor Lu had a straight face and looked like he would keep strangers away from him. I thought at the time that he might just recite a poem casually. Even if he was an acquaintance, there was no need to ask, let alone What’s more, Professor Lu’s attitude at the time was not friendly and he didn’t seem to welcome me.”
This is human nature.
Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will not put a hot face on a cold butt.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Jian did not stop his girlfriend from having a hot chat with his assistant Zuo, which was considered very well-educated.
Of course, in that situation at that time, neither Zhou Jian nor Zhou Jian's girlfriend could have imagined that there would be such a dangerous situation.
They knew that Assistant Zuo was plotting against Professor Lu, but they only thought it was plagiarism in the academic field and did not rise to the level of life-and-death awareness.
Therefore, Zhou Jian's girlfriend was not particularly resistant to Assistant Zuo's enthusiasm.
A veteran in the workplace like Assistant Zuo, faced with a young man like Zhou Jian's girlfriend who had just left school, was absolutely overwhelmed in terms of experience and abilities.
After a casual chat, Zhou Jian's girlfriend was left with a feeling of spring breeze. Various words and techniques can easily create a sense of intimacy, break down people's psychological defenses, and build trust in her. Successfully Be attracted to her and even open your heart to her.
This just explains why Zhou Jian's girlfriend knew that Assistant Zuo wanted to plagiarize Professor Lu's scientific research results, and knew that she had flaws in her personal morality, but she could still talk and laugh with him.
Now, Zhou Jian recalled the situation at that time and confirmed it with Jiang Yue's various speculations. He suddenly understood that the enthusiasm of the left assistant was indeed a bit strange and obviously inconsistent with common sense.
And Professor Lu’s line about the immortal touching my head may seem incomprehensible, but it may also have a profound meaning.
Jiang Yue was also thinking about this issue.
The immortal caressed my head.
These five words are all unfamiliar to them.
It is a poem written by a great poet in ancient Dazhang Kingdom and is widely praised.
Zhou Jian suddenly said: "I know, this is an attraction in the Immortal Valley."
"There are many strange rocks in the Immortal Valley. There is a strange stone named Immortal Fuding."
Jiang Yue's eyes lit up: "Oh? Are you sure?"
"I'm very sure, I even took a photo." Zhou Jian took out his mobile phone, but unfortunately it had run out of battery.
It doesn't matter, Jiang Yue will give you a power bank in seconds.
Not long after charging, Zhou Jian's dead mobile phone was successfully turned on.
The photos were quickly found.
It is indeed a very unique stone. From its shape, it can be clearly seen that it has two figures, one immortal and one mortal.
The immortal's left hand is in the mudra, with the palm facing upward, the thumb resting on the index finger to form a circle, and the other three fingers are open. The right hand is touching the head of another person, as if imparting the secret of immortality.
The stone statues are not only similar in appearance, but also have charm.
The fairy's fluttering clothes and ribbons, and the fairy-like temperament all fit the artistic conception very well, and are indeed very different from those rough and far-fetched scenic spots.
"So, is Professor Lu hinting at something?" Zhou Jian murmured.
Jiang Yue nodded and solemnly warned: "You know this and I know it, and we must not let it out under any circumstances."
Even if Jiang Yue didn't warn him, it was absolutely impossible for Zhou Jian to leak it.
One more person who knows means one more risk.
Before that, he had never imagined that overhearing such a phone call could cause such a big trouble.
Assistant Zuo’s enthusiasm, Professor Lu’s indifference.
Now it seems that they all have profound meaning.
Zhou Jian was indeed frightened into a cold sweat. If Jiang Yue hadn't reminded him, he would never have imagined that such an enthusiastic assistant Zuo would get close to his girlfriend in order to break down their psychological defenses and steal their personal information. It will be easier to kill people and silence them in the future.
And Professor Lu's coldness was actually meant to protect them?
In other words, Professor Lu has actually known about Assistant Zuo’s ambitions for a long time?
Is that scientific research result really so important? Did Professor Lu really hide it near Immortal Fuding?
To be honest, Zhou Jian didn't want to know the answer. He was not interested in this scientific research result at all. He was frightened by this trip and was exhausted physically and mentally.
The death of his girlfriend made him extremely painful. He just wanted to leave this sad place and return to his home in Star City to heal.
But he knew very well that if this scientific research information was really that important, if this matter was not resolved, even if he returned home to Star City, there would be endless troubles.
The two returned to the sofa. Du Yifeng was lying on the bed, flipping through his phone boredly. It was obvious that he was not interested in Professor Lu's affairs.
Don't worry about things that don't concern you, this is Du Yifeng's life principle.
After washing up, the suite slowly calmed down.
Based on last night’s experience, everyone knows that the first half of the night is generally safe, so take the time to rest.
In the second half of the night, all kinds of strange things happened, and there was no hope of having a good rest at that time.
Even though they knew there was no danger in the first half of the night, several people didn't want to sleep at all.
Except for Jiang Yue, everyone else took turns on duty.
If there is any disturbance, wake everyone up immediately.
It's not that Jiang Yue enjoys special privileges, but that everyone knows that they have to rely on Jiang Yue in the second half of the night. If he is not allowed to rest well in the first half of the night, he will be in even greater trouble in the second half of the night.
Jiang Yue was not picky. He sat down on the single sofa and put his feet on the coffee table. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Jian was worried, his wounds hurt, and his heart was burdened. Even though he was extremely tired, he couldn't sleep for a while.
Seeing Jiang Yue sleeping as soon as he said it, he couldn't help but admire him. Inexplicably, he felt a little more confident in Jiang Yue.
No matter whether Jiang Yue can handle this matter or not, just looking at his mentality, he has a bit of a general demeanor.
If ordinary people have such a big thing in mind, can they just fall asleep?
Xu Chunru was on duty at the moment. Han Jingjing and Yu Siyuan were both trying to fall asleep, but Du Yifeng was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
Despite what he said before about risking his life to accompany a gentleman, in the final analysis, he was still somewhat reluctant.
After thinking over and over, should I take Zhou Jian and leave first? And evaluate in your mind the various risks of leaving alone and whether you can bear it.
"Jiang Yue will definitely not send me back to Star City alone, so don't worry about it. If you send me to the stream, use the bamboo raft to return to Maxi Village, and then walk back to the city, there shouldn't be much danger? When that day came, the journey was pretty smooth.”
Those families in Maxi Village also have battery cars...
All the way here, four wheels cannot pass, but most of the way, two-wheeled battery cars can still pass.
Even if you can't get through a place, it's not a big problem to carry a battery car for a while.
Du Yifeng went through it again from beginning to end and felt that this plan might not be unfeasible.
The difficulty lies in the stream. When you come to the ecological park, you go with the wind and the current, but when you return, it is equivalent to going upstream.
However, with the experience he had when he came here, Penny had mastered the skills and expected that the problem would not be big.
The second difficulty lies in Zhou Jian, who has limited mobility. However, Du Yifeng felt that since he was an awakened person, this was not a big problem.
As long as there are no dangers along the way, these difficulties can be overcome.
To say it's dangerous, it's just that it's dangerous in this ecological park!
Outside the ecological park, at least they didn't encounter any danger along the way!
Thinking of this, Du Yifeng suddenly turned over and sat up.
"Zhou Jian, how does the injury feel?"
Zhou Jian was startled and opened his eyes in confusion.
Du Yifeng is so enthusiastic? Why does it feel like there's something wrong with the style of painting?
At first glance, this guy is not very good at saying soft words. Even a greeting sounds stiff and hard, making people not feel the warmth of being greeted.
However, he was the savior after all, so Zhou Jian did not show off and said truthfully: "It hurts, I don't dare to exert force, and it's difficult to move."
"We have to return to Star City for treatment as soon as possible. There is no time to delay."
The style of painting is even more wrong.
"Yes." Zhou Jian said perfunctorily.
"I've thought about it, maybe we can go back to Star City tomorrow."
Zhou Jian was really shocked, he was a little frightened now.
Du Yifeng was suddenly so enthusiastic about his injury and proposed to return to Star City first. No matter how you looked at it, it felt like there was a conspiracy.
"What? You don't want to go back to Star City early to deal with your injuries?" Du Yifeng asked in surprise.
He probably didn't expect Zhou Jian to be hesitant.
Zhou Jian stammered: "Will they agree?"
"I'm talking about the two of us."
Zhou Jian was even more panicked, are we two? He was completely unprepared to return to Star City with Du Yifeng? What on earth is this guy planning?
Could it be that he overheard the conversation just now?
However, he soon realized that this possibility was unlikely. If Du Yifeng really heard it, he should go to the Immortal Valley and sneak away the scientific research materials.
Of course, facing Du Yifeng's sudden solicitude, Zhou Jian felt guilty no matter what the possibility was.
After spending such a long time together, Zhou Jian could naturally see that Du Yifeng saved him purely for the mission and was not really warm-hearted.
This is a refined egoist.
Zhou Jian had no confidence at all when he returned to Star City alone with someone like Du Yifeng. Who knew whether this guy would be reliable in an emergency?
Most likely they would leave him alone.
"I think it's safer to go with everyone, right?"
Du Yifeng suddenly became angry.
I can't arrange Jiang Yue, and I can't arrange you Zhou Jian?
Don't forget, I saved your life.
He was holding back his anger and thinking about how to beat Zhou Jian.
Jiang Yue, who was in a deep sleep state, suddenly said: "Yifeng, save your strength and go to bed early. You won't be able to sleep so peacefully in the second half of the night."
Du Yifeng and the bulging balloon were injected with a needle, and they immediately withered.
He glanced at Jiang Yue speechlessly. It was obvious that he was sleeping deeply. Could it be that he was pretending to be asleep? Isn’t this too pretentious?
Zhou Jian took advantage of Du Yifeng's daze, turned around, turned to face the sofa, pretended to fall asleep, and decisively ignored Du Yifeng's temptation.
Du Yifeng was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he lay down heavily on the bed.
The suite returned to calm.
Compared with the day of the first change, the shaking of the earth is now much lighter, and everyone has become numb to it. There are occasional shakings, but no one takes it seriously at all.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Yue woke up automatically and replaced the others.
He put a coffee table in front of the door and sealed the door.
He moved a sofa and sat in a conspicuous position. He could immediately pay attention to any movement on either side, which was indeed a great deal of effort.
What Jiang Yue didn't expect was that this night was extremely peaceful.
Although the strange summons did not appear, those strange harassments also did not appear.
It was rare for everyone to sleep until dawn.
When other people rubbed their sleepy eyes and saw that it was already bright outside, they were quite surprised.
"Its daybreak?"
"Nothing happened last night?"
"Oh my God, I thought it would be difficult to sleep well last night. I didn't expect to sleep until dawn."
Xu Chunru said in surprise: "Does this mean that the strange situation in the ecological park has been resolved?"
"Sister Ru, are you overthinking? Maybe this is deliberately to confuse and paralyze us. It makes us feel that the crisis is over, and then suddenly gives us a surprise." Du Yifeng sang the opposite tune.
Xu Chunru was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Don't try to throw cold water on us. Anyway, we will definitely go to the Botanical Garden and the Fairy Valley. No matter what you say, we will still go according to the itinerary."
"By the way, Yifeng, I thought I heard you bewitching Zhou Jian last night before going to bed. You two want to go back to Star City first? Is this the case?" Xu Chunru smiled, obviously trying to disgust Du Yifeng on purpose.
Du Yifeng said: "I have no problem! Zhou Jian, it's too late for you to regret now. Once you enter the botanical garden, when the danger comes, you won't be able to go back even if you want to. You are not an awakened person, and you are injured. I can do anything for you." I guarantee you that you will be the first to die."
Zhou Jian seemed to have made up his mind: "I think the risk is just as high if I go back now. It's better to be with everyone. I accept life or death. Anyway, it's considered death once. Tell the truth, life or death, I’ve looked away.”
After all, Zhou Jian just refused to follow Du Yifeng's path.
Du Yifeng frowned, took out his cell phone, and said, "It's okay if you don't reply. As long as you record a video to show that I have rescued you, it's because you don't want to go back to Star City for the time being. I can take it back to you for business."
