"Major Wang Chen..."
After understanding what happened, Xu Zhen said apologetically, "I can guarantee that Professor Dawson's loyalty to the empire is not a problem. He cannot be a spy of the alliance. He is just too eager for quick success and quick gains in research."
"I apologize to you on behalf of the institute for any offense I have caused to you!"
Wang Chen's accusation against Dawson is so serious that even Xu Zhen can't bear it.
Holy Light Research Institute is one of the highest scientific research institutions in the empire, and most of the projects involved are in the military field. Once the secrets are leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Every staff member in the institute, including experts, professors and researchers, has been screened and tested for loyalty at all levels, and is under strict monitoring.
Xu Zhen has known Professor Dawson for decades. Although the latter's character is not very good, his personal ability is fine and he has no reason to betray the empire.
Therefore, although she was very disgusted with the other party's actions, she also tried her best to protect her colleagues.
After all, there is no such thing as a 100% pure scientist!
"Dean Xu, I think I need a reasonable explanation."
Regarding Xu Zhen's euphemistic defense, Wang Chen said in a deep voice, "I respect Holy Light Research Institute's authority and contribution to the empire very much, but the institute also needs to respect my personality and life!"
"Regardless of whether Professor Dawson is an Alliance spy or not, what he did seriously threatened my safety, so I no longer trust Holy Light Research Institute and will not continue to cooperate with the experimental work."
Xu Zhen was speechless, turned his head and glared at the pale Dawson with angry eyes - look at what you did!
Dawson instinctively wanted to quibble, but as a result, it was like a huge rag was stuffed in his throat and he couldn't speak at all.
Wang Chen smiled coldly, "It seems that Professor Dawson has nothing to say, so let's do that."
"I'm sorry."
Xu Zhen apologized again. "I'll be here first today, and I asked Captain Shia to send you back to rest."
After a pause, the deputy dean of Holy Light Research Institute said firmly, "I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!"
"I'll see."
Wang Chen nodded and left the laboratory.
His figure had just disappeared from the door, and Professor Dawson slumped down on the ground like an old dog whose backbone had been removed, panting heavily, and bead-sized beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
No one knew how much pressure he had just endured, and he was really suffocating!
But even though Professor Dawson looked extremely embarrassed and pitiful at this time, Xu Zhen didn't have the slightest sympathy. "Dawson, I want to hear your explanation now."
"What I need to know is the truth, please don't try to deceive me by insulting my intelligence."
"If you do this, the consequences will definitely be more serious than you think!"
Professor Dawson has countless excuses in his mind, including blaming Wang Chen, but if he uses these reasons to fool Xu Zhen, it will definitely be self-defeating.
The professor at the institute was squeaking, but he didn't give a complete explanation.
Xu Zhen still didn't understand that there was something really wrong in the other party's heart. She waved her hand in great disappointment. "Forget it, you don't need to explain. Let Security Bureau investigate this matter."
"No!"
Dawson suddenly panicked and shouted quickly, "It's Xu..."
Bang!
Before the professor could finish his words, a powerful fist struck his temple fiercely and accurately.
Make a Move is none other than A-Class Combatant!
Professor Dawson is just an ordinary person, how can he withstand such a fierce attack? He only heard a "click", his head suddenly tilted, and his neck was broken on the spot.
The guards of the institute were all unprepared, but they raised their guns as quickly as possible and aimed at A-Class Combatant, Make a Move.
Xu Zhen took a step back, his expression turned extremely ugly.
The A-Class Combatant who killed Professor Dawson was a senior security officer of the institute, and was specially assigned to Professor Dawson to help with this experimental mission.
Who would have thought that the other party would actually kill someone and silence them at the most critical moment!
Facing the black muzzle of the gun, this A-Class Combatant did not make any move of resistance. Instead, he showed a weird smile, and black blood oozed from his mouth, eyes, ears and nose at the same time.
He actually committed suicide.
At this moment, everyone was shocked. The guards around Xu Zhen pointed their guns at another senior security guard.
The other party is also A-Class Combatant.
And this one raised his hands and said with a wry smile, "I surrender, I don't know anything, I just obey orders."
"Catch him first."
Xu Zhen said in a deep voice, "Leave it to the Security Bureau to investigate."
The matter was far beyond what she could handle, and the water was deep enough to drown thousands of people!
Xu Zhen suddenly felt strong regret.
If she had known this, she should not have invited Wang Chen to the institute to do experiments and caused such a huge disturbance.
As the protagonist of the whole incident, Wang Chen returned to his residence accompanied by Captain Shia.
In the next few days, Wang Chen stayed at home waiting for the outcome of the matter and his follow-up arrangements.
What makes Wang Chen feel strange is that no one has come to ask him for five days in a row, as if he has been forgotten.
In other words, Captain Shia would come over on time every day to say hello as a routine.
Wang Chen didn't know how much the incident against him in the institute's laboratory caused a shock to the upper echelons of the empire, especially the result that Professor Dawson was killed and silenced. Even His Majesty the Emperor knew about it.
Imperial Security Bureau therefore launched a comprehensive investigation. The reason why no one came to him for the time being is actually very complicated.
Until the morning of the sixth day, Wang Chen saw Imperial Security Bureau Chief Officer Gu Yanchang again in the dormitory.
The Security Bureau senior official had a gloomy look on his face. As soon as they met, he handed Wang Chen a confidential document. "Major Wang Chen, this is the preliminary investigation result of the Professor Dawson incident. Do you have anything to add?"
Wang Chen took it and read it again, a little surprised. "Dawson is dead?"
Gu Yanchang nodded silently.
Just yesterday, as Imperial Security Bureau Chief Officer, he was called over by His Majesty the Emperor to reprimand him face to face.
Although Radiant Emperor did not punish him, Gu Yanchang knew very well that the position under his butt was already shaky and there was a possibility of being whipped out at any time!
To him, this was simply a disaster.
"I understand."
Wang Chen nodded. "I don't have anything to add."
In fact, the results of this investigation can be summarized in just a few sentences. Professor Dawson violated the regulations of the institute on his own initiative and was killed by a senior security officer who lost control of his sanity. The latter also committed suicide in fear of crime.
Such a result will only fool children, and anyone with any intelligence will not believe that it is so simple.
But the attitude of the empire's top officials in reducing big things to trivial matters could not be more obvious.
Wang Chen also has nothing to say.
Obviously, if you want to catch the real behind-the-scenes commander, you can only rely on his own strength!
Wang Chen is not in a hurry, and has no intention of confronting the empire's rulers.
