Chapter 438: 400 Ying Zijin: Ten Million [2 more updates]

Although the research base’s core area was indeed very important, it was jointly invested in by two of the world’s top universities within University Town.

But when compared to Herwen’s laboratory, it still fell short by a notch.

Almost every research project in science and engineering would involve physics.

If Herwen truly wished to study electronic intelligent weapons, it would be a piece of cake for him.

Moreover, the assistant was very clear about this.

If Ying Zijin really wanted that research data, she just had to speak up, and Herwen could directly utilize his authority to transfer it from the research base.

Was there any need to steal it?

The assistant could only feel the absurdity, he stepped forward: “Miss Ying.”

Ying Zijin also recognized him, she turned her head and glanced at the Investigation Team Leader: “I’m here for me, please wait a moment.”

The Investigation Team Leader furrowed his brow but did not stop her.

These six students were only suspects, and they didn’t have the authority to cut off their contact with the outside world yet.

With so many people watching, they couldn’t do anything out of line.

Pei Tianyi, however, was taken aback.

He had seen Herwen’s assistant when he escorted Herwen back to O Continent.

Why was this assistant so respectful towards Ying Zijin?

“Miss Ying,” the assistant took out a small box and handed it over to Ying Zijin. “You left in a hurry last time, and the professor had forgotten, this is a new physical device he made, he asked me to give it to you.”

Several of Herwen’s experimental projects were also secretive.

Thus, the conversation between the two was very quiet.

Ying Zijin accepted it, took a look, and nodded slightly: “Thank him for me.”

“The professor said, if you have any needs, you can speak to him directly, his authority is vast,” the assistant spoke again, respectfully, “Miss Ying, should I ask the professor to come here for the investigation team’s query?”

“No need,” Ying Zijin leaned back in her chair, casual, “I’m earning a bit of money, this small matter doesn’t require the professor to step in.”

Yesterday, they spent a long time disarming a bomb, proving that University Town is extremely unsafe now.

As one of the world’s most top-notch professors, Herwen was very important.

He had already experienced one kidnapping, and if he appeared rashly in public, there was no guarantee he wouldn’t be targeted again.

The assistant: “???”

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

You could still earn money while being investigated by the investigation team?

However, he was also aware that Herwen’s current situation was special.

The assistant didn’t insist any further, just nodded: “Alright then, if Miss Ying can’t resolve it, the professor will definitely help.”

Herwen had been bragging to everyone in the lab for a while about what a great prospect he had found.

Herwen also said that if Ying Zijin joined the lab after graduating, give him at most ten years, and he would be able to research a Cosmic Carrier capable of space jumps.

On that day, humanity would be able to visit other star systems, explore the universe, and might even reach other universes.

The scenes from science fiction films would be realized one by one.

The assistant left soon after.

The Investigation Team Leader waved his hand: “Alright, take them away.”

“We came here to compete; we’re not locals; you have no right to take us away,” Ying Zijin sat on her chair, immovable, “Whatever you want to investigate, do it here, we will cooperate.”

“That’s right,” Teng Yunmeng also said, “Both he and I have joined the talent protection program, it’s not reasonable by the law for you to do this just based on your suspicion.”

Being taken away, even if they were cleared of suspicion, would still lead to gossip.

The Investigation Team Leader hesitated for a moment, then turned: “Let the other contestants leave.”

Several team members immediately stepped forward and escorted out all the contestants, including Irina, from the hall.

“Irina, no wonder she had an A-grade account on the NOK forum,” outside the hall, a girl lowered her voice, “She must be sent by some family to steal the lab data.”

Irina glanced at her, indifferent: “Not necessary.”

Who would destroy their future for a set of incomplete experimental data?

Anybody with a bit of intelligence could see that.

**

Inside the hall.

“Alright, now please hand over your communication devices,” the Investigation Team Leader raised his hand, “We are only checking if there are any traces of the experimental data on your computers and phones, we won’t touch anything else.”

Ying Zijin handed over her phone and computer.

The other five did the same.

The Investigation Team Leader ordered his team to start searching.

“Is this experimental data very precious?” Ying Zijin looked up, “How much is it worth?”

Before Pei Tianyi could speak, Ying Yuexuan had already spoken, her expression mocking: “More than precious? It’s priceless, if you took it, you would know, right?”

Pei Tianyi pressed his lips together, “That’s right.”

“Okay, ten million.” Ying Zijin lifted her eyes, looking straight at Pei Tianyi, indifferently, “I’ll catch the real criminal for you, and as for the experimental data, I won’t let it leak to any place.”

Ying Yuexuan found it quite amusing, “Ying Zijin, what kind of joke are you telling?”

Pei Tianyi, however, thought this method was very feasible.

He had seen Ying Zijin’s computer skills.

If she said so, she must be able to do it.

Pei Tianyi pondered for a moment and nodded, “Agreed.”

Ying Yuexuan was somewhat incredulous, “Senior brother!”

“There’s ten million dollars here.” Pei Tianyi waved his hand at Ying Yuexuan as he stepped forward, “You—”

Before he could finish, the Investigation Team Leader suddenly slammed the table and looked up coldly, “Miss Ying, how do you explain these experimental data on your computer?”

Pei Tianyi turned abruptly, seeing the computer screen.

He was very familiar with it; it was their experimental data.

“Senior brother, what did I say?” Ying Yuexuan chuckled coldly, “I said it was her who stole it.”

Pei Tianyi was somewhat reluctant to accept this outcome.

If Ying Zijin did such a thing, it would quickly spread throughout the entire scientific research community.

If she wanted to conduct research in the future, she would have nowhere to go.

Pei Tianyi was partial to Ying Yuexuan, but he also had to admit that Ying Zijin was indeed very impressive.

If she entered the field of scientific research, she would certainly shine.

“It couldn’t possibly be Zijin!” Teng Yunmeng was angry, “She wouldn’t steal experimental data.”

The Investigation Team Leader’s voice grew colder, “The physical evidence is here; do you have anything else to say?”

“Yes, I do.” Ying Zijin lifted her eyelashes slightly, “I’ll show you another piece of physical evidence.”

She reached into her pocket and then placed a round iron piece, the size of a little fingernail, on the table.

When Ying Yuexuan saw this iron piece, her face turned pale, and she subconsciously reached for her clothes.

But she didn’t touch anything.

What’s going on, how did this round iron piece end up in Ying Zijin’s hands?

Why didn’t she notice at all?!

She had been at least a meter away from Ying Zijin.

“What is this?” The Investigation Team Leader glanced at it and frowned slightly.

“This is a wireless USB device,” Ying Zijin stated plainly, “But it’s superior to ordinary wireless USB technology. There’s no need for touch or even a connection; as long as it’s in the same local area network as another device, it can transfer data at will. If the firewall is weaker, it could be automatically breached.”

She slightly lifted her eyelids, “This is a new product from the Computer Science Department of Imperial Capital University.”

Both the Investigation Team Leader and Pei Tianyi were taken aback.

The Computer Science Department of Imperial Capital University had developed rapidly in recent years and ranked among the top in the world.

Some technologies were not even available in O-continent.

It was within reason that Imperial Capital University could design such a product.

“There’s a file transfer record on it as well as fingerprints,” Ying Zijin tilted her chin up slightly, “Check it out.”

The Investigation Team Leader put on gloves, took it, and handed it to one of the team members.

They were well-equipped and could verify it on-site.

Ying Yuexuan’s forehead began to sweat, and her fingers trembled.

In less than five minutes, the investigation results were out.

“Team leader, it’s clear; there is only one person’s fingerprint on this,” the team member reported, “After comparing it with the fingerprint database, the fingerprint matches Ying Yuexuan, the ISC contestant.”

“The transmission record is indeed there as well, showing that it occurred yesterday afternoon at four and this morning at seven-ten.”

Anyone entering University Town had to record their face and fingerprint information.

So the comparison results came out quickly.

Ying Yuexuan’s complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.

Pei Tianyi’s head jerked up, somewhat in disbelief, “Yuexuan?”

Ying Yuexuan hadn’t touched the computer, but he indeed had unlocked the password protection while showing her other materials.

At that time, the firewall would have indeed been very weak.

And wasn’t seven-ten precisely when they followed the Investigation Team here?

“Faking fingerprints is also quite easy.” Ying Yuexuan struggled to maintain her composure, though her voice still trembled, “Who doesn’t know you have a grudge against me? Why are you framing me like this?”

“The surveillance video here didn’t capture it, but Imperial Capital University has it,” Ying Zijin took out her phone, dispassionately, “Do you need me to call the Computer Science Department of Imperial Capital University? Let them check if they are missing a wireless USB device?”
