"11 million yuan bail? How can it be so expensive!" Lin Benjian exclaimed.
"You're going to be locked up for five years for this crime. I don't think you'll stay here and wait for the verdict. You'll escape from Fusang back to Wanwan immediately. Then, we won't be able to get our bail money back. Of course, you'll have to return this money!" The guy with the fierce-looking face said fiercely.
"I don't have so much money. Let me go back to Wanwan first. When I'm there, I'll get my wife to return the money to you!" Lin Benjian said helplessly.
"That won't do. We don't have any friends in Wanwan. What if you're gone and never come back? You'd better think of a way to return the money to me now. If not, give me your wife's phone number. I'll ask her for the money!"
"Are you kidding me? I borrowed money from you guys so that my wife wouldn't know about this. If you tell my wife, I'll still borrow money from you. Why would you give me 1 million yen instead?" Lin Benjian said helplessly.
"I don't care. I only care about money."
"I …" Lin Benjian was completely desperate. He thought that he had climbed out of a hole, but in the end, he fell into an even bigger hole.
"How about this? I'll give you another option!" The fierce-looking guy said lightly. "I have a job. If you help me complete it, this money will be written off!"
"What job?" Lin Benjian asked nervously.
"Nothing. You're from Hua Xia, right? Help me bring something to Hua Xia. That'll do! "The other party laughed.
"Bring something … Could it be that you want me to …" Lin Benjian was stunned. He immediately reacted. This man probably wanted him to smuggle drugs.
"That's right. Since you're an internationally renowned professor, the security check will definitely not check your things too carefully. They also won't dare to go overboard with you. So, you have a great chance to help us bring that batch of goods in. As long as you bring the goods over, we'll call it even. I won't pursue the matter of the 11 million yuan anymore! "The other party said.
"I won't do it. If I'm caught, I won't be in jail. I'll be shot! I won't do it! "Lin Benjian shouted.
"Oh, then I'll have to call your wife, your company, and your research institute in the United States. I'll tell them that you've been arrested for PC theft and that it involved an underage girl. Now, you need to pay a bail of 11 million yen, or you'll be in jail for five years. What do you think your life will be like?" The other party's words made Lin Benjian's heart sink to the bottom. If this was really the case, then his future would definitely be gloomy. Falling into the abyss, it would be better to die than to fall into it.
"Are your things well hidden?" Lin Benjian raised his head and asked.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable. We dyed all the goods black and disguised them as coffee. Then, we put them in several cans of coffee. Even the taste is similar to the taste of coffee. Unless someone checks the coffee's composition on the spot, the security personnel will definitely not find any problems!"
"Actually, it's the same if we let our people do it. It's just that a great scientist like you is safer. You can almost guarantee that you'll pass the security check!" The other party laughed.
"Then I'll do it!" When Lin Benjian heard this, he suddenly felt very safe, so he nodded. His fate was decided.

Three days later, Lin Benjian got on the plane to Hua Xia and landed smoothly at the airport. The first half of the whole process was very smooth. Fusang's security did not find the abnormality of the coffee powder hidden in the four cans of coffee. Then, as long as he passed the airport's security check, everything would be fine.
Looking at the crowd in front of him waiting for their luggage, Lin Benjian waited nervously for his bag. Soon, his suitcase came out. Lin Benjian breathed a sigh of relief and left the airport with his bag. Just as he stopped a taxi and was about to go to the agreed place, a cold handcuff was directly buckled on his wrist.
"We are the police …"
"I'm finished …" Lin Benjian fainted in an instant.
When Lin Benjian woke up again, he found himself in a closed room. A man in ordinary clothes sat opposite him. Before Lin Benjian spoke, he directly reported Lin Benjian's identity and all kinds of secret information. Lin Benjian had nowhere to hide in front of this information and was completely exposed.
"Professor Lin Benjian, according to our investigation, you have a total of four cans of DP disguised as coffee in your suitcase. The total weight is as high as 12 kilograms. This DP is enough for you to die 12 times," the other party said coldly. Lin Benjian was so scared that he almost fainted again.
"But you are a great scientist. You are very useful, so I'll give you a choice to live!" The other party's second sentence saved Lin Benjian again.
"What choice?" Lin Benjian asked excitedly.
"To be honest, we are very interested in the immersive lithography machine that you proposed, so we hope that you can join the project team and help us develop the immersive lithography machine!" The other party laughed. "Other than that, we need you to inform us that you are safe and sound every two weeks. Of course, we will also pay you a salary of 20,000 USD a month. That's double your salary at IBM. You can send the money to us every month. I don't think your family will suspect anything is wrong with you!"
"Okay, I'll cooperate. I'll cooperate with everything!" When Lin Benjian heard that he did not need to die and only needed to do research and send money home every month, he fell in love with them on the spot.
"Of course, we will monitor you at all times. Other than calling home every two weeks, you have no right to contact the outside world. You are strictly under our control!" the other party said.
"Then, how long are you going to control me?" Lin Benjian asked.
"You can leave when you develop the immersive lithography machine. By the way, before we leave, we will give you the title of one of the pioneers of the immersive lithography machine and give you a villa in China. You can move freely in China with the accompaniment of our staff. As for going abroad, don't even think about it. After all, you are still a drug trafficker!"
"I understand!" Lin Benjian nodded with a wry smile. Then, he was sent to the Daqian's laboratory. Although it did not take long for Lin Benjian to realize that he had fallen into a trap from the beginning to the end, he had no other choice but to do research obediently and contribute to Hua Xia's lithography machine.
