However, no one was paying attention to Ying Zijin. They were all busy with Professor Irwin and the L-shaped spray.
Pei Tianyi had already pressed a string of numbers and several other teachers were contacting different people.
At the side, when a teacher stood up, he inadvertently saw the computer screen.
His expression suddenly froze, and he cried out in surprise.
The other teachers in the scientific research team, including Pei Tianyi, didn't think that Ying Zijin's computer skills could track Irwin's specific location.
Pei Tianyi was able to come out with the team because his computer skills were very good. He was as good as the average programmer and might even be better.
He was also a college student and had plenty of time on his hands.
However, if even Pei Tianyi couldn't locate Professor Irwin, how could anyone else?
How could a high school student compare to Pei Tianyi in computer skills?
However, the truth was right in front of them. Ying Zijin had indeed used the micro-locator that Pei Tianyi had placed on Irwin to locate Irwin's location.
Pei Tianyi suppressed his impatience and turned his head when he heard the teacher's shout.
He wanted to scold her, but his eyes widened when he saw the line 'target has been locked'.
Pei Tianyi stopped pressing the dial button and quickly rushed to the computer. He was in disbelief.
He had used an hour but still couldn't find Irwin's location.
However, Ying Zijin had only used the computer for one or two minutes.
Pei Tianyi stiffened when he recalled what he had said earlier.
A high school student actually had computer skills that didn't belong to a hacker?
Pei Tianyi pursed his lips. He felt that the box on the computer screen was slapping him in the face and he was flustered.
He had always thought of himself as a genius and had never been defeated like this.
Just then, another box popped up on the screen.
[The locator will be destroyed in ten seconds.]
[Ten, nine, eight …]
"Hurry up." Pei Tianyi was a little excited. "This is the program. We have to record the coordinates quickly."
Ying Zijin didn't pay attention to him. She enlarged the map and glanced at it. She had an idea.
Pei Tianyi was Chinese and had lived in Continent O since he was young. He wasn't familiar with Hua and didn't know which building the coordinates were.
"You …" Pei Tianyi raised his head, wanting to stop the girl.
Before he could finish his sentence, Ying Zijin had already stood up and left the computer.
She walked up to another teacher and asked, "What is L-shaped spray?"
The teacher was stunned for a moment before he turned around abruptly and immediately said, "L-type spray is the latest product from the laboratory. We've been researching it for five years. It can quickly regenerate skin and capillaries."
"Spray different tricks according to the size of the wound. As long as it's not too fatal or dangerous, the wound will heal quickly. There's no need for any process."
Ying Zijin pondered for a moment. "Is that all?"
Was it worth it for the enemy to spend so much effort to kidnap Irwin?
If something happened to Irwin, the entire academic world would be furious.
No matter how well the other party hid, it was only a matter of time before he was found.
The teacher was stunned by the question and mumbled, "This … isn't enough?"
Even without surgery, it could heal the wound and repair the skin. Once the effect of the L-shaped spray was exposed, it would cause a sensation all over the world.
However, only three cans of L-shaped spray had been produced so far, and the required materials were very rare, so the laboratory hadn't announced it to the outside world.
Since Ying Zijin had successfully located Professor Irwin's location, Pei Tianyi's tone softened. He explained, "You might not know about biomedicine, but L-shaped spray can be considered a great invention."
Ying Zijin pressed her head.
She had forgotten one thing.
Such medicine had long been available in the alchemy and ancient medicine circles. The L-shaped spray wasn't as effective as the box of ointment Fu Yunshen had given her.
However, there were too few people in the alchemy and ancient medicine circles who knew about it.
Not to mention, these two places were completely isolated from the outside world.
Neither alchemists nor ancient doctors would expose their core technology.
In particular, alchemy was already supernatural, so naturally, it had to be kept a secret.
It seemed that L-shaped spray was indeed very important.
Ying Zijin didn't say anything else. She got up and left the meeting room.
Pei Tianyi frowned. He didn't have time to chase after her.
He wrote down the landmarks and handed them to another teacher. Then, he dialed the number of the laboratory in Continent O.
L-shaped spray was very important. This experimental research was funded by a tycoon in Continent O. If they wanted to use L-shaped spray to exchange for Irwin, they had to ask for the tycoon's permission.
After Pei Tianyi finished speaking, the laboratory quickly reported the news.
The reply came faster than Pei Tianyi expected. Five minutes later, the call came again. It was from the tycoon.
"Sorry, we won't use L-shaped spray to exchange for Professor Irwin. You'll have to figure it out yourself."
It was a cold, emotionless sentence.
Before Pei Tianyi could say anything, the other party had already hung up.
He was shocked.
The other teachers shook their heads and sighed.
Indeed, to the tycoon, Irwin's life was obviously not as important as the new invention of L-shaped spray.
"Damn it." Pei Tianyi was furious. He put on his clothes and walked out. "I'm going to meet up with the Shanghai police. I'll wait there first."
He could only pray that the other party wouldn't kill the hostage in anger.

On the other side.
Ying Zijin leaned against a tree and made a phone call. "Young Master Nie, there's a problem. I need an elite team."
When he heard the word "elite," Nie Yi realized that something was wrong. He asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Yizi had a total of ten teams, but this was only on the surface.
In secret, there were two more teams.
These two teams were called "elite teams."
This was because the members of these two teams were all Ancient Martial Artists with strong internal strength. They were no different from the martial arts masters in TV dramas who could leap over roofs and vault over walls. In fact, they were even more powerful.
"A top international professor has been kidnapped." Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes. "I need help."
Although her body's origin had been restored, it was not suitable for her to use Ancient Martial Arts during this period.
She didn't know who the kidnapper was.
However, she guessed that there must be a hypnotist among the people who kidnapped Irwin.
Otherwise, Irwin's bodyguards wouldn't have lost their memories of that period.
"Okay." Nie Yi said, "I'll send someone over now."
There were no boundaries in academia. If a top professor was lost, it would be a loss to the entire world.
Nie Yi hung up the phone and immediately went to make the arrangements.

At five o 'clock, Zuo Li rushed over from the capital.
He rushed directly to meet up with Pei Tianyi. The police were also there.
They were about a hundred meters away from where Irwin was kidnapped.
They didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered.
Pei Tianyi frowned and called out, "Professor Zuo Li."
"How is it?" Zuo Li was also very anxious. "Did they say what they want before they let him go?"
Pei Tianyi was silent for a moment before he said, "They want the L-shaped spray, but —"
He told him what had happened earlier.
Zuo Li was furious. "They only care about benefits. They're not human!"
"We can't contact them yet." Pei Tianyi sighed and looked straight ahead. "We can only wait for them to contact us."
Zuo Li realized that he couldn't do anything to help. He was also very anxious until he saw a familiar face.
He didn't know why, but he heaved a sigh of relief. "Mr Ying."
Pei Tianyi was stunned and turned around.
"No, no." Zuo Li came back to his senses. "It's too dangerous here. You can't stay here."
Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows and said slowly, "Get rid of the evil and bring peace to the good."
Zuo Li was speechless.
He had forgotten that this young lady could take on several men alone. At least she was stronger than him.
"You really shouldn't stay here." Pei Tianyi frowned and said, "If something happens later, we won't be able to protect you. It's better for you and Professor Zuo Li to go back and wait for news."
"No, no." Zuo Li waved his hand and spoke up for Ying Zijin. "I'm not a top professor. They don't want to kidnap me."
Ying Zijin took out her phone and looked at the time.
The elite team would arrive in ten minutes.
She thought for a moment and decided to post on the NOK forum.
Pei Tianyi glanced at it and suddenly paused.
He saw a familiar image on the girl's phone.
It was the tenth card of the tarot card Alcanar, The Hermit.
It was also the login icon of the NOK forum.
Pei Tianyi was stunned, and his gaze fell uncontrollably on the login ID.
