Chapter 239: What's the Handle?
When he saw Professor Ge come back unharmed, Gu Xiaoyun had already begun to feel that this incident might not be the work of that Rex.
But after this series of strange actions, she felt that she should have nothing to do with that person.
As for why Professor Ge concealed and did not expose the person, she had no way of knowing. The only guess is that the man has mastered some of his weaknesses. And use this to control him.
This is the most plausible, but also the most worrying explanation.
For the rest of the day, she had no intention of working. The code is written with frequent errors. Time has also become difficult. The gaze is almost fixed on the time in the lower right corner of the screen.
It seemed like a century had passed, and I finally made it past lunchtime.
Under the pretext of taking care of children, take home the unfinished code and finish it.
Professor Ge did not object, because this was already a common thing for Gu Xiaoyun. As long as she can hand in the code on time, he doesn't mind where she gets the work done.
Gu Xiaoyun returned home uneasy, and after gradually relaxing, he found that his palms were full of cold sweat.
It's okay, she reassures herself. At least now Professor Ge is back. As for what happened during this time, she could slowly inquire from him.
******
"Why do you think he lied?" That night, she told Ye Jingheng about it with a puzzled face.
Or did he leave just when the camera was hacked? And the path he took happened to bypass all the other surveillance? She thought it was impossible. Under normal circumstances, no matter how anxious you are, it is impossible to deliberately walk out the back door, right?
"It seemed to me that he must be lying. It is estimated that there is some handle in the hands of the other party. Is it family? Or is it something else significant? She voiced her guess. After all, that's a strategist. If you dare to put Professor Ge back, it is estimated that you can already conclude that he will not confess him.
The man quickly denied her speculation, "I have already sent someone to his hometown to see when I was looking for Professor Ge before. At least during that time, there was nothing unusual with his family, and he was not in his hometown. He was sure that he had never set foot in his old home since the day he disappeared.
"I didn't go to my hometown......" Gu Xiaoyun's heart sank. At this time, I realized that I subconsciously wanted to believe his statement. It's a pity that if there is still a 1% chance that the previous incident is true, then it is now completely confirmed that he is lying, "What about his wife and children?" ”
"They've been home all the time, and even they've never been able to get in touch with Professor Ge."
He swallowed violently. I just feel that after analyzing this paragraph, things not only do not become clear, but become more and more clueless. The wife, children and other relatives are fine. So what other tricks does Professor Ge have?
As if he had guessed her thoughts, the man hesitated before saying, "The previous investigation also found that he was not in debt, so the only thing I could think of was ......"
At this point, it came to an abrupt end. There seems to be something unspeakable.
"What is it?" She urged.
"It may have something to do with some of his previous academic papers."
He didn't say it directly, but the meaning behind it was already clear.
"What did you say?!" Her eyes widened in disbelief. This surprised her more than any other speculation before. When it comes to academic papers, it's nothing more than data falsification, or plagiarism and stealing other people's information. Either way, she couldn't accept it. Almost reflexively denying, "Impossible!" What evidence do you have? ”
"Don't worry. This is nothing more than speculation. As if anticipating her reaction, the man sighed. He didn't want this to be true, after all, he knew very well what a lofty image Professor Ge was in Gu Xiaoyun's heart.
"No, absolutely not." Gu Xiaoyun shook his head, "I've been in his lab for so long, I'm sure he's definitely a computer genius." What's more, she has participated in several recent academic papers. There can be absolutely no problem. What's more, Professor Ge is an upright person, and what he usually hates most is those who are opportunistic. He would never do that.
"Does genius mean that he must be clean?" Ye Jingheng disagreed. I have to say that hearing her defend another man with such affirmation, even if it is a person who is over half a hundred years old and has a family, it still makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
I don't know if if someone said that about him, she would have defended him so resolutely.
Gu Xiaoyun was dumbfounded for a while. I knew in my heart that he was right. Look down at your palm. Indeed, whether you are a genius or not is not directly related to whether you will do something immoral. But this is Professor Ge. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is her idol.
And academic fraud...... What a serious problem for the people who do their research on this. It can ruin a person's career almost overnight. How could such a disgusting thing have anything to do with Professor Ge? He should be a leader in the industry. How can you plagiarize someone else's content?
When I looked up again, I had already made a decision in my heart, "No matter what, I choose to believe him until I have evidence." Choose to believe, but don't believe unconditionally.
The man seemed to be lost in thought. After a long time, he finally said: "Don't think too much about this matter first." I'll have someone look it up. "Whether it's to find out about academic fraud, or why that person kidnapped Professor Ge and then let him come back unharmed. What is his purpose? Or who is he targeting now?
Gu Xiaoyun was silent. In fact, I really want to complain that the efficiency of their investigation is too low, and there has been no substantial progress for so long. But I also understand that she is not qualified to say so. After all, she couldn't think of a better way. They even sent someone to investigate.
But the feeling of sitting still like this is really unpleasant.
"I don't want to worry about it, but can I not worry about this situation?" She said with a sad face. If she could, she would also like to be able to lose her memory directly, completely forgetting what happened recently. Otherwise, it's almost impossible not to worry about it at all.
Not to mention the possible problems of the paper, that is, the problem of personal safety has not been solved.
"Does worrying solve the problem? Now we can only wait and see. But I think it's better for you not to have too much contact with Professor Ge. ”
Gu Xiaoyun was silent again. Some can't make up their minds. I was thinking about getting in touch with Professor Ge more and trying to get some information from him. But now, she was a little hesitant.
