Song Jinning snorted and didn't take the ring box. Instead, she smiled faintly and said, "Since Old Madam Xie gave the ring to you, then it's yours. I'm divorcing you, so you don't have to give it to me anymore. "
Huo Guanchen also smiled and said, "I originally wanted to give it to Sister-in-law, but then something happened. Big Brother disappeared, and you got sick, so I didn't give it to anyone."
"Yes." Song Jinning took the menu from the waiter and looked through it. She ordered a plate of fried rice and a glass of juice. "I'm in a hurry, please hurry up."
She didn't ask Lu Yuan to bring her food today because she had an appointment with Huo Guanchen in advance.
Since he was at the restaurant, it would be a waste not to eat. There was no need for Lu Yuan to make a wasted trip.
Huo Guanchen didn't continue speaking. He watched Song Jinning finish eating before saying, "You should keep it. Mother will be happy to see Shaoheng's wife wear it."
Song Jinning was moved by Huo Guanchen's words.
She sighed and said, "To be honest, you and I have let Shaoheng down. Shaoheng was brought up by Old Madam Xie, but unfortunately, Old Madam Xie has never enjoyed the happiness of a grandson."
At that time, both husband and wife focused on their careers.
Needless to say, Song Jinning plunged into the laboratory and worked day and night with her father, Song Haichuan, to conduct experiments in cooperation with the military.
Because Huo Guanchen married Song Jinning, he was afraid that Song Jinning would regret it one day, so he was also working hard to get a promotion.
However, in times of peace, it was not so easy to rise in the army.
Therefore, he had to put in more time and energy. Moreover, his target was the big brother that he had admired since he was young …
However, before he could achieve his goal, his eldest brother and his wife met with an accident at the same time.
Huo Guanchen's expression didn't change much as he thought about what had happened 18 years ago, but his heart was in turmoil.
His smile faded and he suddenly asked Song Jinning, "How much do you remember about the experiment accident eighteen years ago?"
Song Jinning was startled. She put down the tissue and frowned. "Are you sure you want to talk about the experiment from back then in this place?"
Huo Guanchen took out another cigarette and lit it between his fingers. He did not smoke it.
Song Jinning frowned and pointed at the cigarette in his hand. "Don't smoke in public."
Huo Guanchen glanced at her. Although it wasn't forbidden to smoke indoors, he still listened to her and put out the cigarette in his hand.
Song Jinning felt that Huo Guanchen's attitude was a little strange. Although it was no different from usual, she could feel it.
This feeling was based on the tacit understanding between the two of them as lovers and husband and wife.
Only those who have truly loved can understand it.
Although she no longer loved him, this intuition was still there.
No one knew what Huo Guanchen was thinking, but he continued talking.
"… I know that experiments are risky, especially collaborating with the military."
"But I find it strange. You and my father-in-law were both top high-energy physicists. Would you really make such a mistake?"
She looked at Huo Guanchen for a long time. "What's wrong with you? It's been so long, I don't remember. "
Huo Guanchen nodded and stood up. "Then let's talk in the car." He gestured for the waiter to pay the bill.
The waiter quickly brought the bill over.
After paying the bill, he and Song Jinning walked out one after the other.
Guo Huining, who was eavesdropping from a nearby cubicle, was stunned.
Uncle Dong's eyes flickered. "Sit here for a while. I'll go out for a bit."
After Uncle Dong left, Guo Huining sat alone in the cubicle. Her emotions were extremely conflicted.
From the way Huo Guanchen was talking to Song Jinning just now, it was obvious that he still had feelings for her. It was just that Song Jinning didn't have feelings for him anymore.
But since they didn't have feelings for each other and were divorced, why was he using his son's name to continue hooking up?
Guo Huining's face flushed and paled. She didn't hate Huo Guanchen, but she hated Song Jinning to the core. She hated her even more than Gu Nianzhi.
Actually, she knew that she was the one who started the conflict with Gu Nianzhi. It wasn't Gu Nianzhi's fault.
But Song Jinning … was the real culprit who ruined her future!
…
Uncle Dong hurriedly left the second floor of the restaurant and went to a room on the third floor.
Soon, he turned on a device that could receive sound waves.
Huo Guanchen's car was parked in the restaurant's parking lot. There was a small transmitter under every parking space in the parking lot.
The transmitter could amplify sound waves. As long as there was a suitable device and it was tuned to a fixed frequency, it could be monitored from a distance.
At that moment, Huo Guanchen and Song Jinning were talking in the car.
Huo Guanchen's personal secretary and guards all got out of the car and stood guard around the area.
Huo Guanchen was silent for a while in the car. "Jinning, tell me honestly. Did the experiment fail 18 years ago because of an error in your experiment, or did someone deliberately cause it to go wrong?"
If it was a natural error in the experiment, then it was a normal price to pay for climbing to the peak of science.
But if someone "caused" their experiment to go wrong, then it was deliberate sabotage. It was a major criminal case that was premeditated and organized.
Song Jinning was shocked. "General Huo, why are you saying this? Didn't we already find out the cause of the experiment accident? "
"We researched high-energy magnetic fields. Because this field was too advanced, we didn't have a deep enough understanding of many aspects. Therefore, when we increased the frequency of the magnetic field step by step, it exceeded the limits of what our equipment could handle, which led to the explosion."
Song Jinning was very patient when it came to her profession. She patiently explained to Huo Guanchen, "I also hoped that someone deliberately sabotaged it. But all the signs show that we really were too eager to make a breakthrough at the time, which led to a huge mistake. "
"Really?" Huo Guanchen asked slowly. "Jinning, do you know? For the past 18 years, I've never given up on investigating the truth behind the failure of the experiment. "
Song Jinning was speechless.
She smirked. "Did you manage to find out anything?"
Huo Guanchen shook his head. "… Nothing."
Song Jinning nodded. "As far as I know, the military also evaluated the experiment in many aspects. It proved that it was indeed because we had underestimated the high-energy magnetic field data and energy that caused the abnormal explosion."
"This kind of explosion was similar to the big explosion in the Tunguska region of Siberia in Russia. Of course, the yield was not as large."
"And now, 18 years later, our understanding of high-energy magnetic fields has become more complete. We've already published several high-quality papers in cutting-edge science, proving how the mistake was made." Song Jinning glanced at Huo Guanchen. "You don't have to waste time."
She pushed the car door open. "I'm going back to the institute."
Huo Guanchen walked her out of the car. As he adjusted the collar of her coat, he made a final struggle. "Go back. Your birthday is in two days. Are you really not going to invite me to your birthday party? "
