night.
It's eight o'clock.
In the business room of Wangfu Restaurant and Dong Xuebin, Chen Xuekai raised his head, holding Dong Xuebin's arm tightly with his old arms, looking at him with his eyes.
"For the country and for Xiao Zhong, please."
"Okay, I will think about it carefully." The Power of Time and Wealth 1103
"I'll be waiting in the hotel lobby. Come find me when you think about it."
"Don't bother, Academician Chen, it's too late, you should go back today."
"I'm worried about Xiao Zhong's condition. I won't be able to sleep even if I go back. Think about it. I'll be outside. I can wait as long as I want."
Chen Xuekai said that and walked out tremblingly. Dong Xuebin hurriedly held his arm and sent him out, thinking in his heart that if you don't "force" me, you won't "force" me. Aren't you just "forcing" me?
For the sake of the country - just one sentence puts a heavy burden on Dong Xuebin's shoulders.
What words could be more serious than this? Anyway, Dong Xuebin thinks it's gone!
After closing the door, Dong Xuebin walked back to the room alone, opened the window and breathed in the fresh air outside, and his mind became more and more entangled.
A cigarette...
Two cigarettes...
Three cigarettes...
Thinking of Han Jing's cry.
Thinking about Zhong Lizhen's life and death.
Thinking of the bow of an old scientist.
Dong Xuebin sighed, put out the cigarette butt, rubbed his head, and then patted his forehead hard. Doesn't this make me embarrassed??
never mind!
That's it!
Dong Xuebin already made a decision in his heart. He took a breath and stopped thinking about anything. He opened the door and took the elevator downstairs to the hotel lobby.

in the hall. The Power of Time and Wealth 1103
It was quite late and there was no one in the rest area.
As soon as Dong Xuebin walked over, he saw Chen Xuekai and two middle-aged people in their thirties and forties sitting on the sofa waiting. The two people seemed to have come with Chen Xuekai, but judging from their expressions, they should be students or apprentices of Academician Chen. Eighty percent of it is also Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"Xue Bin?" Chen Xuekai saw him. His eyes stared over.
The other two men also looked at Dong Xuebin, looking him up and down with some suspicion in their eyes. Such a young guy? Is he really capable of rescuing Lizhen? We can't blame them for judging people by their appearance. This is inevitable for everyone, it's just human nature.
"Academician Chen." Dong Xuebin walked up.
Chen Xuekai stood up with the help of two students. "Have you considered it?"
"Think about it." Dong Xuebin said calmly, "Sorry Academician Chen, I still can't go."
Chen Xuekai's face changed slightly, "Have you really thought about it clearly? Your lover calls Xiao Zhong cousin! Can you bear to watch Xiao Zhong suffer abroad?" It seems that the relationship between Chen Old Master and Xie Family is really good. He was definitely not lying when he said he knew Han Jing and Xie Guobang. He even knew these things.
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry Old Master, I really can't do anything."
The middle-aged man next to him said angrily, "National interests come first! Even if you don't consider Lizhen's safety! You should consider the country, right? Do you know what kind of technology Lizhen has developed?"
Dong Xuebin looked at him, "I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Another student of Chen Old Master pointed at his nose and said, "Thankfully you are still a cadre! You... how come you are so little aware?"
Dong Xuebin said calmly, "It's not that I'm not aware, but that I'm self-aware. I know it's useless if I go, so I don't want to die."
The student shouted, "Narrow-minded! That technology is related to..."
Another older student touched him and said, "Stop talking!"
The student shut up. He glared at Dong Xuebin angrily.
Dong Xuebin said slowly, "Chen Old Master. There are two other people. The rumors you heard about me are actually full of water. Everyone hears rumors and spreads rumors, which is definitely not true. I don't have as many abilities as others say. That's it. I still have some self-awareness. I have a wife to support and my child is about to be born. I can't go abroad and risk my life just because of this. It doesn't matter if you say I'm selfish or whatever, I don't care. I only know that I can't do anything about what you said. I'm sorry."
"You..." the student continued to say.
Chen Xuekai couldn't help but wave his hands, "That's it, let's go."
The middle-aged man probably knew Zhong Lizhen, so he couldn't help but said, "But Lizhen..."
Chen Xuekai said, "Little Dong may not be able to solve the problem if we go there. Let's go back and think of other solutions."
The student sighed and saw Chen Xuekai leaving, so he had no choice but to help him and follow him along with another person. The Power of Time and Wealth 1103
outside.
The student said, "Teacher, I don't think that Little Dong is a capable person. He doesn't even have the courage and sense of responsibility. He is not even worthy of being a member of the Republic!"
Chen Xuekai frowned and said, "Everyone has his or her own ambitions, don't follow the main guidelines."
Another student also comforted himself, "I'm afraid he won't be able to be saved if he goes. Lizhen."
Chen Xuekai hummed, "There is no guarantee that anyone will survive a narrow escape. In fact, I didn't have much hope in coming to see him this time."
Several people left.
Only Dong Xuebin, who had just been scolded so badly by them, was left alone and smiled bitterly at the hotel door, shook his head, Dong Xuebin said nothing, turned around and went upstairs.
In the elevator.
Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, the phone rings.
When I saw it was Han Jing, Dong Xuebin immediately picked up the call and said, "Hello, Mom."
Han Jing immediately said, "Xuebin, where are you?"
"It's in the hotel, Wang Mansion, didn't I tell you?"
"Mom just heard that Chen Xuekai Academician Chen is looking for you?"
"Uh, yes, there are two students Academician Chen. They just left."
"Academician Chen is an old acquaintance of our family, and Lizhen was also a student of Academician Chen, so he must be worried about Lizhen, and does not want the technology developed by Lizhen to be obtained abroad."
"Well, I know, Academician Chen told me."
"They must have heard something and asked you to rescue people, right?"
"Ahem, that's what I said."
"How did you answer?"
"What else can I say? I really can't go, Hui Lan is over there..."
"Well, that's good. You won't agree even if you want to go to Mom now. It's too dangerous. Even if you are capable, Mom doesn't want you to take the risk." Han Jing said calmly, "And if you really go, Hui Lan alone can bring chaos to our family without telling anyone else."
"But where Academician Chen is..."
"It's okay. Mom will tell him when the time comes and they won't look for you again."
"Well, thank you, Mom." After a pause, Dong Xuebin said, "By the way, Mom, I forgot my mobile phone charger, and it's almost out of power now. I may not be able to answer calls in the next two days."
"Then mom can find you a charger?"
"No, I'll check with the charging service then."
After hanging up the phone, the elevator dinged and stopped.
As Dong Xuebin walked down the elevator, he called Xie Huilan, "Hello, Hui Lan, me."
Xie Huilan hummed and said with a smile, "In the hotel?"
"Well, it's time to go to sleep."
"Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just want to tell you that Second Uncle is so angry. Don't talk to him like that in the future. Second Uncle didn't 'force' me to take risks."
"I know, just give them a vaccination, haha."
"You, you, I'm trying to smooth things over for you today. I'm exhausted."
"Haha, is that all?"
"One more thing, my phone is out of battery and I didn't bring a charger. I'll find a place to unplug it tomorrow or the day after. I may have to turn off my phone in the meantime."
"Well, the hotel should have it, you can take a look."
"Okay, the battery is really out. I won't say anything anymore."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebin sat in the rest area and made several calls in succession, to Mom, Aunt Xuan, and others. Without exception, they all told them to call The battery was insufficient, and I might not be able to contact him in the past two days. After finally hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin glanced at the 50% battery left on it. He sighed slightly, stood up from the rest area in the corridor, and walked towards his business room.
Behind, the elevator suddenly rang.
"Hey, County Chief Dong?" Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei are back.
Dong Xuebin looked back, "Director Yan, Director Chen."
Yan Yizhi said with a smile, "You just came back too?"
Dong Xuebin nodded, "By the way, I have something to do. Come to my room?"
"Okay." Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei followed him suspiciously.
inside the house.
Dong Xuebin looked at them and said, "I may have to go out tomorrow, and the hotel is no longer available. I don't know when I can come back. My phone is out of battery, so I may not be able to contact them."
Yan Yizhi was stunned, "Who are you?"
"Just going out for a while." Dong Xuebin said sternly, "If others ask about me, just say that I went out to find friends. If I haven't come back when the return flight time comes in a few days, you don't have to wait for me, just go back to Zhenshui County. I will naturally go back when I have finished my work. I can't say the specific time. It may be early or late. I just want to say hello to you first."
Yan Yizhi groaned, "Okay, you are busy with your business, we understand."
Dong Xuebin thought for a while and explained a few things, then let Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei leave, and he closed the door.
Flip through the phone book.
Dong Xuebin called Xu Yan, and the first sentence he said was, "Big Sister Xu, I want to apply for a ticket to go abroad!"
Yes, Dong Xuebin is going to America to save people, the interests of the country, the safety of my cousin, the tears of Han Jing, the sorrow of the older generation of scientists Please, Dong Xuebin is an emotional person. If these things can't move him, he is not Dong Xuebin. He is also very angry about the behavior of those old men. It's just that the reason why Dong Xuebin didn't tell Chen Xuekai was mainly because he was afraid that Hui Lan would know and his family would know. Dong Xuebin didn't want others to worry, and he didn't want Hui Lan to fall out with his family because of his own affairs, Dong Xuebin always works alone. Anyway, he has memorized the location of the research institute where Zhong Lizhen is located, so he is going to give it a try and see. If it works, Dong Xuebin will rescue people. If it doesn't work, Dong Xuebin doesn't want to die. Everything will have to wait until he arrives.
