Mrs. Xu could not understand what Professor Xu was trying to say. She stared blankly at him.
Li Qingcang guessed Professor Xu wanted to talk to him alone. He looked at both Mrs. Xu and Ye Tianxin. “Mrs. Xu, Tianxin will bring you out to get some rest.”
Ye Tianxin instantaneously knew that he must have something to say to Professor Xu in private. She brought Mrs. Xu out of the room.
Professor Xu looked at Li Qingcang.
He wanted to tell Li Qingcang that the booklet he gave him contained very important information from his research.
He could no longer continue with the research in this state, but Li Qingcang was still around. He was the top student in physics and his intended successor.
Professor Xu wanted Li Qingcang to use this information to continue with the research.
“Teacher, can you not speak?”
Professor Xu nodded.
Ever since he regained his consciousness, he realized he had not been able to speak a single word.
It might not be a bad thing after all. Those people would now not be able to do anything to him now.
Besides, he had already activated the system in his personal computer for self-destruction. All the files on his computer were destroyed.
Even if those people were to look him up, he would not be able to tell them anything.
He was immensely proud of the fact that he stayed true to his beliefs all his life.
“I know what is inside the booklet you gave me. Teacher, since you already knew Xu Yuan’s intention when I went to look for you the other day, why didn’t you tell me about it?”
If Li Qingcang had noticed Professor Xu’s odd behavior then, he would not have ended up in the hospital.
Professor Xu shook his head. What else was there to say?
As a father, it was very difficult to admit that his daughter had become so evil and selfish.
She was his flesh and blood, after all.
He had wanted to protect her.
“Teacher, are you worried about Xu Yuan?”
Professor Xu nodded again, this time harder.
“Teacher, I promise I will protect her this time, but that’s all I can do. If she tries anything funny again, I cannot guarantee her safety anymore.”
Professor Xu nodded. He was grateful knowing this was all Li Qingcang could do.
“Teacher, I will return the booklet to you when you have recovered.”
Professor Xu hesitated and shook his head. He raised his head and looked at Li Qingcang with widened eyes.
The booklet contained his hard work over the years. He did not feel safe leaving it with anyone aside from Li Qingcang.
He was a righteous man, and Professor Xu trusted him completely.
Even if he were to use Professor Xu’s information to come up with other research, he would not seek wealth and fame. He would never betray himself or his teacher.
“Teacher, do you mean you want me to take over your research?”
Professor Xu nodded.
He suddenly got agitated and made murmuring noises.
“No, Teacher. This is not right. It’s your research. You should finish it yourself.”
Li Qingcang’s words seemed to have made Professor Xu more fl.u.s.tered.
‘The machine by his bed was beeping very loudly.
The medical staff rushed in and quickly went to check on Professor Xu.
“Captain Li, please cooperate with us.”
Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin stood at one side. They looked on anxiously as the doctor was trying to calm Professor Xu down.
Professor Xu’s condition finally stabilized after 30 minutes. He was sedated and went to sleep.
Li Qingcang asked the doctor, “How is he?”
“Mtr. Li, his condition isn’t too good. He will probably spend the rest of his life like this.”
