Chapter 215: A Small Gift

Ahem, back to the point.

The gains of military rank are only one of them, and in addition to this, there has been an important event that has happened in the past week, a big event that is now making a lot of noise in New York.

"Stan Group Chairman Li Stein appealed to the court for the acquittal of Dr. Curt Connors, former chief scientist of the Osborne Laboratory of Cross-Species Genetics." 》

"Listan appealed to Curt Connors, invited him to join the Stan Group and announced a series of follow-up plans, after Curt Connors joined, the self-healing serum may achieve initial popularity. 》

"Shock: The key to the popularization of self-healing serum is actually its original developer......

That's the headline news that's been published in various media outlets these days.

The title and content are very mixed, but in fact, Lees began to overturn the case and build momentum for Curt Connors.

For good reason, Curt Connors's transformation into a lizard monster was only an experimental accident, an involuntary act of being forced to inject unfinished serum by Osborne, and did not cause major harm or casualties.

In fact, it stands to reason that Curt Connors should have been released a long time ago.

When Lees planned to buy Osborne, he had already disclosed the whole story of Curt Connors's mutation, and this matter was also discussed on the Internet at that time.

Curt Connors's plan to turn the entire New York people into lizardmen has been blocked by Lees in advance, and now he is a victim image, and the cross-era drug self-healing serum released by the Stan Group is also born from his research, so in terms of the public's senses alone, the current Curt Connors is not a heinous criminal.

The reason why a mentally ill person can still get away with his crimes, let alone a brilliant scientist who was forcibly injected with incomplete serum under involuntary circumstances and suffered mental effects and physical mutations, was only released because someone took a fancy to the research results of Curt Connors's ability to transform into a lizardman.

Now that Li Si is using the media to build momentum, coupled with General Ross standing behind the scenes and a large number of well-known lawyers who have been frantically throwing money at him, the results are naturally self-evident.

Just today, Curt Connors was released from court without incident.

"Doctor, how are you feeling?"

Waiting at the door of the courtroom in a bumblebee, Lees, who saw Curt Connors getting into the car, turned his head and asked with a smile.

"Lee, thank you."

Curt Connors was still the same middle-aged blond man, with a haggard face but a gentle smile.

"You don't blame me for sending you to jail before."

Li Si also smiled, and then didn't let Bumblebee control it, and manually ignited the car to start.

"I'm just thanking you for sending me to jail, otherwise I don't know how many mistakes I would have made."

Curt Connors spoke with a humorous and hearty smile: "Of course, thank you for taking me out." ”

"Then I'll take credit for it."

Li Si patted the steering wheel with a smile and said, "How is it, do you want to go home first or where?" ”

"Go to Oss...... Go to your group, I think you have something else to tell me. ”

Curt Connors picked up a newspaper that had been placed next to his seat and raised it.

"Okay."

Lees was noncommittal, concentrating on driving, manually controlling Bumblebee towards Stan Tower.

Soon, Bumblebee stops at the door of the Stan Group.

During working hours, Stan Group was full of people, and after seeing Lees and Curt Connors, they greeted or smiled one after another, and after responding one by one along the way, Lees led Curt Connors to the laboratory on the top floor.

"Max, what about Dr. Otto?"

Li Si asked in surprise.

In the laboratory, there were only Max and a group of engineering robots that had been transferred not long ago, and Otto Gunther was not in sight.

You must know that these two people are now addicted to research and can't extricate themselves, and they never leave the top-level laboratory on weekdays.

Max first gestured slightly to Curt Connors, who was next to Leas, before replying, "Dr. Stern has woken up, and Dr. Otto is chatting with Dr. Stern in the break room." ”

"Oh?"

Li Si Yile, it seems that this is a double happiness today.

However, he didn't rush to find Semuel Stern, but glanced at Curt Connors, who was looking at Max in a new way, and then introduced the two of them: "This is Max, the current director of the Electric Power Laboratory, this is Dr. Curt Connors, who was originally from the Department of Cross-Species Genetics. ”

Although they originally worked at Osborne, the two had not crossed paths before, so Max and Curt Connors met for the first time, and after Lees introduced each other, he introduced himself with a smile and again.

"Come with me, Dr. Connors, I've got a little gift for you to celebrate your freedom."

After the two got to know each other, Lees smiled and led Curt Connors to a separate room in his laboratory, where he usually conducted his own experiments.

"Li, a small gift doesn't match your current worth."

Curt Connors followed Lees in, quipping with a faint smile as he looked at the equipment he was very familiar with in the studio.

"I have no value, I owe a lot of debt to buy Osborne, and I owe tens of thousands of employees a day's wages every day when I wake up."

Li Si shrugged his shoulders, reached out and took out a portable syringe containing a pale green liquid from an instrument, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Moreover, gifts are not about value, practical gifts are the best, aren't they?" ”

"Self-healing serum?"

Curt Connors naturally recognized the contents of the portable syringe at a glance, after all, he had studied self-healing serum for most of his life.

After taking the serum, he said with a complicated look that seemed to be amazed and emotional: "I didn't expect you to really finish it, although I have heard people mention it before, but ...... Well, I don't know how to describe how I feel right now. ”

"It's all based on your research, and to paraphrase a clichΓ©, I'm standing on the shoulders of great men."

Li Si did not shy away from it, and smiled modestly.

He wasn't worried that the matter of the self-healing serum would make Curt Connors feel uncomfortable, after all, in any way, the self-healing serum did not belong to Curt Connors.

Not to mention that the original self-healing serum is a semi-finished product with serious side effects, it is impossible to register a technology patent, and even if there is a patent, it belongs to Osborne, and now it belongs to the Stan Group, which acquired Osborne.

And Curt Connors is not one of those scientists who is very possessive of his own research results, he is a pure researcher, with a strong intellectual curiosity, and a little bit of a worldly mentality to make a name for himself, but he is still very clear in other aspects.
