Chapter 650: The Abandoned Sister Xi?
The moment the door was pushed open, everyone turned to look at the doctor nervously.
Feng Xingshen was a well-known mathematician in China and was also a professor in the mathematics department of Huaxia University. He had made outstanding contributions to the development of Chinese mathematics over the years.
Not only Xue Xi and Zhou Hong, but even Xiang Huai and Jing Fei were very nervous about his survival.
The group approached the doctor and Zhou Hong spoke first. “What’s wrong with my teacher?”
The doctor frowned. “Professor Feng… I can’t see any problem. There’s no problem found even after a brain CT scan. We’ve checked every part of his body and there’s no anomaly. I can only gauge that his mind has been stimulated, but he’s already awake.”
Awake…
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Feng Xingshen was pushed out by the doctor. He lay on the bed in a daze and stared at the ceiling. Jing Fei wanted to ask what had happened first, but since Ji Silin had done something to him, Xiang Huai stopped him with a glance.
The doctors pushed Feng Xingshen into the ward first. As he did not have any other symptoms, he had to stay in the hospital only for observation.
After the doctor checked his condition, the attending doctor said, “It’s really strange. Professor Feng’s body doesn’t seem to have any problems. We can’t find out why he fainted.”
This was something that surpa.s.sed the scope of science.
Jing Fei said, “It’s fine. It’s probably because he’s old and not in good spirits. Doctor, I’ll send you out first…”
After the doctor left the ward, Jing Fei returned and said to Zhou Hong, “Our police department needs to handle a case. Please go out for a while. We need to ask Professor Feng some questions.”
Zhou Hong nodded. After leaving the ward, only Jing Fei, Zheng Zhi, Xue Xi, and Xiang Huai were left.
Jing Fei asked Feng Xingshen, “Professor Feng, can you hear my voice?”
Feng Xingshen was still lying there. His turbid eyes glanced at him before he closed them and did not speak.
Jing Fei frowned. “What exactly did Ji Silin do to Professor Feng? Why does Professor Feng look as though all his energy has been sucked out in a single night? He’s just like those listless people in the laboratory! It’s just that Professor Feng looks even worse!”
Zheng Zhi frowned. “I suddenly realized a problem.”
Jing Fei: “What?”
Zheng Zhi: “The people he attacked were all from the Math Department. Could it be that he has a deep grudge against the Math Department? Or is he trying to stop the development of the Chinese Academy of Mathematics?”
Jing Fei: “?”
Xue Xi immediately said, “Impossible.”
Zheng Zhi sneered. “Why? Do you still want to speak up for your Brother Silin? Xue Xi, wake up. Don’t protect him just because you think that he harmed Li Xuelei’s experimental project because he wants to stand up for you! There must be a problem if a wild esper like him doesn’t cooperate with us who wants to capture him!”
Zheng Zhi pointed at Feng Xingshen and rebuked, “Look at your teacher. What has he done to him? This is a crime that’s hurt others! If he’s caught, he can be imprisoned for life!”
Zheng Zhi wanted to scold Xue Xi, but when he saw Xiang Huai, he swallowed his words and left indignantly.
…
…
Feng Xingshen was sick and was hospitalized.
He was dispirited and listless every day.
There was an endless stream of people who came to visit him at Huaxia University. A few directors and the princ.i.p.al had all come to visit him. Before the princ.i.p.al left, he even held his hand and said, “Old Feng, you are the hero of our university’s Math Department. Don’t worry, I will definitely apply for a grant for you!”
Feng Xingshen’s lips moved. “No need.”
However, the princ.i.p.al said, “How can you not use it? You definitely have to use it! Those problems you’ve solved have already caused a commotion in the Math Department! Sigh, everyone is saying that Ji Silin is a foreign spy. He hurt you because you completed those projects!”
Feng Xingshen stared blankly at the princ.i.p.al. He wanted to say something, but he shut his mouth.
Li Fan also came. Looking at the white-haired Feng Xingshen, he sighed. “Old Feng, I was too narrow-minded. If I had known that you would tire yourself out because of scientific research, I would have definitely supported Sister Xi long ago.”
…
Two days later, Feng Xingshen was discharged.
When he returned to Huaxia University, the entire Math Department welcomed him.
Feng Xingshen instantly became the mathematics hero of China and was praised by everyone. As Feng Xingshen’s favorite disciples, Xue Xi and Zhou Hong were pushed out by everyone to welcome him.
Xue Xi stood in front and watched as the door of the nanny van opened. Feng Xingshen seemed to have aged ten years. He held his walking stick and slowly got out of the car.
His hair was white and he looked extremely haggard.
The moment he alighted, Xue Xi and Zhou Hong took a step forward and held his arms from both sides.
Feng Xingshen paused and was helped into the office. Just as Xue Xi was about to stay and take care of him, Feng Xingshen said, “Sister Xi, go get busy. I have Zhou Hong here.”
Xue Xi looked at the teacher and nodded.
However, after she left, a rumor spread in the school:
“Have you heard? Elder Feng is angry at Sister Xi!”
“That’s not surprising. After all, Ji Silin and Sister Xi are very close. If Dr. Ji hurt Elder Feng, Sister Xi might be involved in this!”
“Do you guys think that Xue Xi really doesn’t know Ji Silin’s whereabouts? Is she protecting Ji Silin?”
Li Xuelei seemed to have grabbed the chance to run to the laboratory at opportune moments. “Xue Xi, Ji Silin’s relations.h.i.+p with you is not ordinary. Does what he did really have nothing to do with you?”
…
“This is too much! The one who hurt others is Dr. Ji. Why is Li Xuelei here every day? He even spread rumors about you, Sister Xi. He said that you were the one who instigated it. I’m speechless!”
Xie Yingying was Xue Xi’s hardcore fan. No matter how the outside world commented, she remained unmoved.
Xue Xi sat in the office and did not say anything when she heard this.
At this moment, Li Zixia rushed in. “Sister Xi, why are you still here?”
Xue Xi paused.
Li Zixia said, “Elder Feng’s papers have received the approval of the whole mathematics world and were nominated for the Fields Medal! Sister Xi, this is the mathematics world’s n.o.bel Prize! Elder Feng is in poor health and doesn’t need to partic.i.p.ate in the award ceremony. The World Mathematics Organization has personally delivered the award. Right now, Elder Feng’s office is bustling with activity. I heard that Zhou Hong is also in a jubilant mood!”
Xue Xi paused.
Xie Yingying’s eyes lit up. “Sister Xi, your teacher has won an award. Hurry up and congratulate him!”
Xue Xi paused and finally said, “The teacher didn’t call me over.”
Both Xie Yingying and Li Zixia choked.
This award was a huge matter for Huaxia University. Almost everyone had gone, and the princ.i.p.al even held an award ceremony in the hall.
The hall was bustling.
In the laboratory, there was only the sound of the light source machine turning.
Xue Xi seemed to have been abandoned.
Li Zixia and Xie Yingying looked at the red-haired girl in the laboratory and exchanged glances.
Xie Yingying frowned. “Could it be that Elder Feng is really venting his anger on Sister Xi? At this moment, Zhou Hong has been accompanying Elder Feng, but he actually did not call Sister Xi over.”
Li Zixia also revealed a worried expression. “I’m not worried about anything else. After all, Elder Feng can’t do much for Sister Xi. I’m mainly worried that Sister Xi is in a bad mood.”
Xie Yingying sighed heavily. “Everyone should be happy that the light source machine is done, but how did it end up like this? Dr. Ji is such a good person, but how did he become a bad person and become the target of everyone’s criticism? Sister Xi and Elder Feng have also become like this. Just thinking about this makes my heart ache!”
The two of them accompanied Xue Xi until the end of the commendation ceremony.
Li Xuelei returned first and did not go to his laboratory. Instead, he came here first. Li Xuekai blocked the door and did not let him in. “This is our laboratory. Why are you always running here?”
Li Xuelei sneered. “This is Huaxia University’s territory. What’s wrong with me going this way? Moreover, a certain someone was rejected by Elder Feng. Isn’t it just her own fault? Who asked her to be involved with that psychiatrist? Tsk, tsk. She must have ordered Dr. Ji to play tricks on the people in my project. Now, she has finally tasted the taste of being a cold stool, huh? Now that she has a project under her belt, it won’t be easy for Elder Feng to make a move. I think that when the popularity of this project dies down, Elder Feng will do something! Doesn’t a professor from Huaxia University have the ability to chase her away from Huaxia University?”
While the two of them were arguing, they did not see Feng Xingshen, who had just received the award, walking out of the elevator with Zhou Hong’s help and slowly walking over.
