The two of them already knew the general situation of the matter, and after a brief comfort, Adolf took the lead and said, "Dean, I think there is something strange about this matter. It's obvious that they're attacking you one after another, and now they're mobilizing the people around you! ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Tianlin was noncommittal, turned his head and asked Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran glanced at Adolf and was about to speak, but he didn't expect Adolf to continue: "Dean, on the way here, I studied this matter carefully with Professor Zhou. We agreed that they must be playing tricks again. ”

"Yes, Old Zhou."

Zhou Ran nodded.

"That puddle of blood in the house means that he may have ......" Zhou Ran didn't continue, but the meaning was obvious.

"I think that's the worst possible outcome."

"Yes," said Adolf, "and, I think they are demonstrating against us, and we cannot remain indifferent." ”

"What, do you think it was the 'expansionists' who killed Xiao Wang?" Zhang Tianlin asked.

Although the two did not speak, the expression on their faces had already given the answer.

"I don't believe that a person will disappear into thin air and the police will find out the truth. Moreover, Xiao Wang may not be ......," Zhang Tianlin argued.

"Dean, why don't you understand!"

Adolf said, "Huo" stood up, very emotional.

"After all the slander they had, you didn't move, and that made Williams lose patience. Therefore, the hawkish old dog finally couldn't sit still, and he wanted to solve the matter more directly. ”

"But he doesn't have the guts yet." Zhou Ran said, "So, we think he will test an insignificant person next to you first." One is to show their determination, the other is to show deterrence, and it can be regarded as a warning. ”

Zhang Tianlin smiled calmly and motioned for Adolf to sit down.

"I think you're overreacting, they don't dare do anything like that. At least, not so blatantly. ”

"What you said is right," Zhou Ran said, "It is indeed very difficult to attack the dean's secretary in the Academy of Astronautics, but once it succeeds, it will play a very big role." ”

He sorted out his thoughts and continued, "What I'm worried about now is that if they really did it this time, will it be you the target next time?" ”

"yes, I'm worried about that, too." "Or one of the two of us." ”

"No, it won't." Zhang Tianlin said firmly, "Even if Williams, an Englishman, is a representative of the hawks, his methods are very tough. However, as far as I know about this person, he is still principled in doing things, at most he will do some small damage, and he will not do such out-of-the-ordinary things. ”

"Maybe you're right," Zhou Ran reminded, "assuming Williams wouldn't do such a thing, but who can guarantee that his men wouldn't?" ”。

"It's hard to say......" Zhang Tianlin said absent-mindedly, as if he didn't want to continue arguing.

Zhou Ran saw it in his eyes, but he couldn't stop thinking a lot in his heart.

After making sure that Zhang Tianlin had something to hide, he became more cautious in doing things, especially when facing Zhang Tianlin alone.

Judging from the matter in front of him, it stands to reason that the secretary is "missing", and Zhang Tianlin should show that he is very anxious, at least worried. However, now he behaves completely differently and gives a very strange feeling.

What's the strangeness?

Zhou Ran suddenly thought of it, judging from Zhang Tianlin's expression and words, it was his normal reaction. But judging from his attitude and mentality, his performance is abnormal, and even gives people the illusion of wanting to cover up.

But what good is it for him to do so?

An obvious conclusion about this is in front of us, that is, the "expansionists" have begun to act. However, Zhang Tianlin uncharacteristically defended the "enemy" and even exonerated them, which is very abnormal.

Zhou Ran had a gut feeling that either the conspiracy was ready to start, or it was already on its way......

There was a brief silence, as if the air was being drained little by little.

Zhang Tianlin sighed and said regretfully: "Actually, I have prepared for the worst, Xiao Wang is probably more than lucky this time." But he is innocent and should not be a victim of this. No matter how things turn out, I'm sorry for him after all. ”

"Dean," Adolf saw Zhang Tianlin's tone soften, and hurriedly said, "Don't think so!" The culprit is in front of us, and we should not feel sorry for ourselves now, but fight back. ”

Seeing that he had no intention of stopping it, Adolf continued: "Now that the upgrade of the 'dome' is almost complete, this item is in our favor. Moreover, you have also made progress in 'genetic modification', I wonder if you can start from this aspect and defeat them completely. ”

It can be seen that Adolf mustered a lot of courage to say this, especially when he proposed "genetic modification".

However, Zhou Ran was different, he said the following sentence with a strong sense of purpose.

"Adolf is right, Dean. We can't wait any longer, it's time to come up with our 'killer feature'! Tell us about 'genetic modification' so that we can be prepared. ”

……

Institute of Military Studies, Office of Dean Williams.

A fine bottle of Tomindo whiskey sat on the smooth table, and Williams sat wistfully, sipping from glass to glass as if it had no taste in his mouth.

Soon, most of the whiskey in the bottle was gone, and he poured himself another glass.

As he was about to pour his glass into his mouth, a man knocked on the door and walked in. Williams narrowed his vigilant eyes and glanced at it, it was Professor Ye Guangli of the Aerospace Academy.

Williams took a big sip and heard Ye Guangli say, "Dean, you shouldn't drink like this." ”

With that, he walked straight to the table, put away the remaining half bottle of wine and put it on the wine cabinet, and sat down in the chair across from Williams.

"Guangli, what news did you bring me?" Williams asked.

"Good news, bad news."

"The old rules."

Williams drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, as if it was the last sip in the world, and it was worth savoring for a long time.

"The upgrade to the 'dome' is almost complete, and it's going well."

Ye Guangli's voice was low, and his tone was full of complex meanings, so he naturally did not escape Williams's sharp observation.

"That's bad news for me." Williams said lightly.

"Yes."

"But, for you," Williams looked up slightly, "to be exact, good news for your career." ”

"You're right," Ye Guangli did not deny, "The 'dome' is indeed a great achievement. Moreover, for those of us in aerospace research, it is definitely a milestone in the history of astronautics. ”

Ye Guangli did not hide his excitement at all.

"It's just that it didn't come at the right time."

"Interesting." Williams motioned for him to continue.

"If Zhang Tianlin invented this thing a hundred years ago, or two hundred years later, I would not hesitate to follow him, that is the best period for the emergence of the 'dome'. However, the current earth no longer needs the protection of this thing, and even for today's human development, it is an obstacle. ”

"Totally agree!"
