"Find someone? Who?" Dean Cai asked.
Song He briefly explained the whole situation. The more he talked, the more animated the expressions of the two old men across from him became. By the end, Professor Wang and Dean Cai were both stunned.
"You're certain?" Dean Cai asked incredulously. "You could recognize from Jinling Institute of Technology's new conjecture that there was a master behind it—that all the conjectures had been produced by this one person, rather than by a group of students?"
Song He nodded firmly. "Certain. There's only one person!"
"You and him communicated remotely through conjectures? Without any hints, relying purely on conjectures, you could understand the direction of each other's thinking?" Dean Cai continued.
"That's right!" Song He confirmed. "It's very obvious. Our conjectures refuted each other, gradually drawing closer as we advanced together!"
Dean Cai and Professor Wang were dumbfounded.
The office fell silent for a moment.
"I've taught for so many years, and this is the first time I've heard of such a thing." Professor Wang nodded. "Young people these days are truly clever! If you weren't doing mathematics, you could both become spies."
"If you're certain, I'll try to contact Jinling Institute of Technology and help you find this person," Dean Cai said.
"Thank you, Dean!" Song He hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Dean Cai took out his phone. Just as he was about to make the call, another incoming call came through.
He answered and held the phone to his ear. Then his brows rose. "Yes, yes, yes! I'm the dean of the Mathematics Department at Jinghai University! You're from Jinling Institute of Technology, right? I was just about to call you!"
Beside him, Song He and Professor Wang exchanged a smile. It seemed the other side had moved faster and contacted them first.
