Ying Zijin’s eyes shifted slightly.

This was a map of University Town, widely available, and one could get it for free at the tourist office at the entrance.

What was different, however, were the twenty red dots marked on the map with a marker pen.

Especially around the airport, there were four red dots.

“You must have guessed it by now,” Qin Lingyan said, “These red dots are all bombs, tsk, this scale of bombs, I think it’s even comparable to outside of the IBI headquarters.”

He hadn’t planned on coming, but Fu Yunshen had asked him to monitor the entire University Town.

This surveillance was no small matter, as it revealed so many bombs, with new ones being added every day.

Ying Zijin’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Done by the same group?”

“That’s still unknown, we’ll need to take a look at the specific models of the bombs,” Qin Lingyan shook his head, “I estimate it’s not just one group.”

Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes lowered, his pupils darkened.

“Moreover, I have also seen a few hunters on the list.” Qin Lingyan lowered his voice, “One of them is in the top ten of the sharpshooter list, not sure what he’s up to.”

“Let’s check this place out.” Ying Zijin pointed to the red dot closest to their location, “Qin Lingyan, see if there are any surveillance devices there, destroy them first.”

Even if these bombs weren’t very powerful, the explosion of so many at once would destroy half of University Town.

The most important thing was that University Town already had inspection equipment that had failed to detect them.

Qin Lingyan’s computer technology was among the world’s top.

“Sigh, if I’m not being ridden like a horse by my sister, I’m being worked like an ox by you guys.” Qin Lingyan took out his phone, humming twice, “Let’s go, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Old Fu dismantle bombs, just the thing to enjoy.”

Hearing this, Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows slightly, “Dismantle bombs?”

“Hmm.” Fu Yunshen paused for a moment, standing lazily, “During that period of upheaval at IBI, several factions buried bombs, and I probably dismantled—”

He paused, “A few thousand.”

Ying Zijin nodded her head.

Good, she could follow and learn.

Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes lifted, and he smiled, “Have you discovered that your brother is even more amazing?”

Ying Zijin folded the map and ignored him, walking ahead first.

“Old, Old Fu.” Qin Lingyan always felt something was off, “You and this lady?”

Fu Yunshen’s expression was lazy as he tugged at his collar, “Remember to change the way you address me in the future.”

Qin Lingyan was shocked, “What the heck?”

“And don’t call me Old Fu.”

“?”

“I’m younger than you, I won’t sink to your level.”

“…”

Another exit passage.

Ying Yuexuan looked at the girl’s retreating back and lowered her head.

What was wrong with what she said, didn’t Ying Zijin have a lot of men around her?

And they were all so outstanding.

However, when those people got there, Fu Yunshen wouldn’t be able to protect Ying Zijin.

By her side, Pei Tianyi asked with concern, “Yuexuan, how’s your grandmother’s situation? Is there any improvement?”

Upon hearing this question, Ying Yuexuan’s expression turned somewhat despondent, “No, grandmother is still in a vegetative state, and the doctors said it’s difficult to awaken her.”

She pursed her lips, “If Ying Zijin had been willing to save her at the time, it wouldn’t have come to this, she’s a doctor, why can’t she separate personal feelings from saving lives? Is that really ethical for a doctor?”

Pei Tianyi fell into silence, unusually lost for words.

Ying Yuexuan keenly sensed something amiss and promptly changed the subject, “Senior Brother, last time you said there were some materials written in Middle English that needed translating, I started learning it after you left, I should be able to help you out this time.”

Pei Tianyi came back to reality, shaking his head, “No need, what you’ve learned is only basic, when I asked you that, it was also to give you more practice opportunities, for your future role in the lab as a researcher.”

Having said that, he took the suitcase from Ying Yuexuan’s hands, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to your accommodation area.”

Pei Tianyi was a senior at the world’s second-ranked university and a volunteer for this international competition.

Ying Yuexuan clenched her fingers tightly and whispered a small word of assent.

Although both were participating in the international competition, the treatment of players who made it from the preliminary rounds couldn’t compare to those who went directly to the international competition.

With the number of top-tier student apartments being limited, Ying Yuexuan could only live in a lower-tier student apartment.

After she put down her luggage, “Senior Brother, may I have dinner with you tonight?”

“Sure,” Pei Tianyi nodded, checking the time, “Just in time, it’s only half past two now, I’ll take you for a tour around the research base.”

The ISC Organizing Committee only arranged for the contestants with direct qualifications to the international competition to visit.

Without Pei Tianyi, Ying Yuexuan couldn’t enter.

She was very surprised, “Thank you, senior brother.”

Pei Tianyi admonished, “You must be careful not to touch those exhibits. Otherwise, the research facility will sound an alarm.”

Ying Yuexuan nodded, “I know.”

At night.

Pei Tianyi took Ying Yuexuan for a stroll around University Town. As he prepared to send her back, he received a phone call from the research facility.

The two of them hurried back, only to find a middle-aged man with an ugly expression in the office of the experimental area.

Pei Tianyi was startled, “Associate Dean?”

The research facility had one dean and three associate deans in total.

This associate dean didn’t appear often unless something major was involved.

The associate dean slammed the desk with a cold chuckle, “Pei Tianyi, the experimental data from the area you manage has been leaked. Are you aware of this?”

Pei Tianyi’s expression changed, “What’s going on?!”

“You’re asking me?” The associate dean laughed out of anger, “Just a moment ago, the equipment detected a loss of experimental data, and we still haven’t figured out where it went. How were you watching over it?”

Pei Tianyi’s body tensed, “That’s impossible.”

“Impossible?” The associate dean said coldly, “But the fact is that it has been lost! I came here personally to tell you, you’ve been dismissed.”

Ying Yuexuan’s face also turned pale, “The loss of experimental data isn’t senior brother’s fault. Why should he be dismissed?”

“This student, you seem to have forgotten one thing,” the associate dean only then noticed Ying Yuexuan, “Whether the experimental materials were stolen or deliberately leaked, those in charge of managing the experimental data are responsible for inadequate supervision.”

Saying this, he took out a contract and pointed to a clause, “The confidentiality contract clearly states that in such occurrences, the management personnel must be held accountable first.”

“You can certainly ask your senior brother if he’s clear about this point.”

Ying Yuexuan’s complexion turned white, “Senior brother…”

Pei Tianyi’s lips were tightly sealed. He didn’t speak or defend himself.

But he couldn’t understand why the research data would be lost.

“Pei Tianyi, hand over your keys, seal, and ID card,” the associate dean stood up, “As for the responsibilities you might have to shoulder, you probably can’t bear them. Your punishment will be delivered to you later.”

Pei Tianyi’s expression stiffened.

He clenched his fingers, still handing over everything.

“What if they are found?” Ying Yuexuan bit her lip, “Even if they are found, is that not sufficient?”

“If they are found, we’ll still have to see if any damage was done,” the associate dean said indifferently, “Even if there’s no damage, he might be able to return but would be demoted. Without rules and regulations, how can experimental research continue?”

Pei Tianyi took a deep breath.

It wasn’t easy for him to ascend to his current position.

Even if he was lucky enough to be only demoted, the likelihood of returning to his former position was almost zero.

The leakage of experimental data and results was too severe a consequence.

“Associate Dean, please wait a moment.”

Pei Tianyi got up and went downstairs to the entrance of the Core Area.

His eyes were cold, “Today, who else has been to the Core Area of the research facility?”

“Six contestants from Hua Country came for a visit,” the staff member flipped through the registry, “They stayed for an hour and didn’t go up to the third floor. Their names are all here.”

Pei Tianyi took the registry and hesitated when he saw a familiar name.

The Core Area was divided into two major sections, an exhibition area, and an experimental area.

The experimental area was on the upper floor, and without permission from the experimental area, even someone with an A-level account on the NOK forum couldn’t enter.

But, how could Ying Zijin get into the Core Area’s exhibition area?

Could it be that she had a B-level account as well?

Pei Tianyi put the registry back, “Was anyone else detected?”

The staff member shook their head, “No, today is not a workday, there weren’t many people.”

Pei Tianyi pressed his temple, about to head back upstairs.

“Senior brother,” Ying Yuexuan suddenly grabbed him, “I know who might have stolen the experimental data.”

Pei Tianyi stopped in his tracks, “You say you know?”

“Apart from Ying Zijin, who else could it be?” Ying Yuexuan’s expression was calm, “I have offended her, senior brother dislikes her, her computer skills are not bad, deliberately leaking the experimental data—isn’t that a possibility?”
