Afternoon.
Lunch is over.
Xie Guojian left in a hurry. He should be going back to discuss with the military to save Zhong Lizhen. Han Jing and Xie Guobang took a nap.
"Xiao Bing, you should take a nap too."
"No. I will go back to the hotel."
"No. I miss you. Let's have dinner before leaving."
"Huh? Ok. I will go to Xie Huilan's room for a nap."
"Ok. The room is clean. Go ahead."
Dong Xuebing went to Xie Huilan's room and lay on the bed without taking off his clothes. He looked at the ceiling and felt uncomfortable. Dong Xuebing had gone to Museum R to retrieve the Xie Family's relics secretly and did not tell anyone. That's why Xie Huilan's family had never asked him for help. This time, Han Jing and Xie Guojian came to look for him, but he did not help them. He did not even agree to help them, and this made Dong Xuebing feel bad.
But will he be able to help them?
Dong Xuebing does not know the answer and could only think of a solution.
An hour passed, and Dong Xuebing did not fall asleep. He went downstairs to the living room for tea.
When Dong Xuebing walked past Xie Guobang and Han Jing's room, he heard Han Jing crying softly. It's very sad, and Dong Xuebing stopped in his tracks. Han Jing is Dong Xuebing's sister-in-law and had never cried before. That's why Dong Xuebing's heart ached when he heard her crying.
Mom is crying?
What's going on?
Dong Xuebing knew this is not right, but he still stopped at the door.
"You can't cry either."
"But Lizhen …"
"Don't worry, Lizhen will be fine."
"That's true, but … what if Lizhen …"
"Guojian and the rest will think of a solution. I will go and ask them tomorrow."
"My mind is filled with memories of playing with Lizhen when she was young. She had not contacted anyone, and she called me for help. My heart …"
"Now, we can only wait and see if there are any new opportunities."
"How can there be? They will not let Lizhen go!"
"Let's think of another solution. There will be a way to save Lizhen."
Dong Xuebing heard this and felt worse. Sigh … what should I do?!
… …
At night.
Wangfu Restaurant.
Dong Xuebing returned and started smoking the moment he entered the house. His mind was filled with Han Jing's worried cries, and it lingered for a long time.
After an unknown period of time …
Ding dong, ding dong, the doorbell rang.
Dong Xuebing walked over to open the door. "Hello?"
It was an old man in his 70s or 80s, and his hair was all white. But to Dong Xuebing's surprise, this man looks familiar.
The old man looks at Dong Xuebing. "Are you Dong Xuebing?"
"I am." Dong Xuebing asked. "You are?"
The old man said lightly, "I'm Chen Xuekai from the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
"Chinese Academy of Sciences?" A figure appeared in Dong Xuebing's mind. "You are Professor Chen?"
Chen Xuekai looked inside. "If it's convenient, let's talk inside?"
Dong Xuebing nodded and opened the door for the old man to enter.
Chen Xuekai. No wonder he looks so familiar. He is one of China's most famous scientists and had made many scientific contributions to China. When Dong Xuebing was young, he had seen him on TV more than once. That's why he looks so familiar!
Why is Academician Chen here?
Dong Xuebing doesn't understand.
… …
In the room.
Chen Xuekai sat on the sofa and looked at Dong Xuebing from head to toe. He frowned. "Can I call you Xuebing?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Of course."
Chen Xuekai continued. "I know your wife's parents, and I know your background. I also know you are not an ordinary person. Many friends in the military had told me about you."
Dong Xuebing smiled and understood. "Are you here because of Zhong Lizhen?"
Chen Xuekai nodded, "I don't have to hide it from you. Little Zhong used to be my student and my most admired student. To be honest, I'm not surprised that she has achieved what she has today. This is no small matter. I believe that with your background and your family's relationship with Little Zhong, you must have heard about it. There are some things that we can talk about openly. This time … Little Zhong must come back! The technology she developed is something our country needs very much. Even if we have to pay any price, we must get Xiao Zhong back! "
Dong Xuebing replied. "I know, but …"
Chen Xuekai continued. "To be honest, when I first met you, I don't believe you are capable. Maybe I am judging a book by its cover. But a few of my students in the military had told me that you are the only person in China who can bring Xiao Zhong back safely. I also want to believe you, and I have no choice but to believe you. That's why I used my connections to find out which hotel you are staying at and came here."
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "You are flattering me. I don't have this ability."
Chen Xuekai continued. "I know this is difficult and almost impossible. But I still hope you can do something for the country. With your background, I cannot order you to do anything. But as Xiao Zhong's teacher and an old comrade who had contributed half of his life to the country, I can still say something. I cannot represent everyone, but I can represent all the researchers and researchers in the Chinese Academy of Sciences to beg you to bring Xiao Zhong back!" Chen Xuekai stood up and bowed deeply to Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing quickly goes over to help him up. "Please don't! I can't accept this!"
"You can accept this! As long as Xiao Zhong can come back safely, I will even kneel before you! " I can even kneel before you! "Chen Xuekai said firmly," I want you to help Little Zhong! Help our country! "
"You are too kind! Really! "
"I will not force you, but please consider carefully!"
"Alright. I will consider. Please get up. You are asking me to shorten my lifespan by bowing to me."
Dong Xuebing respects Senior Chen Xuekai very much. He is someone who had sacrificed his youth and strength for the country, and Dong Xuebing had to respect him.
But …
Save Zhong Lizhen?
Dong Xuebing was grumbling in his heart. He is not confident at all. How is he going to save Xiao Zhong?
What should I do?
Should I go or not?
Dong Xuebing hesitated!
