Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Qingcang’s face turned solemn after hearing the doctor’s assessment of Professor Xu.
If Professor Xu remained in this state, there was no way he could continue with his research. It might mean that the research would be delayed indefinitely.
“Okay, I understand.”
When Li Qingcang left the research field, he never thought that he would go back to being a physicist.
Besides, there had to be many other outstanding researchers in Professor Xu’s laboratory who were all capable of taking over his work.
He did not know if they would agree to his return.
They might think that he was going back to take the credit for the research.
When Professor Xu’s condition had stabilized, he went to sleep. A sobbing Mrs. Xu was staring at him, in a daze.
During the many years of their marriage, he had always been her greatest supporter. He was dependable and supported her all the time.
Now that her greatest supporter has fallen ill, it was now her turn to stand and support him.
“Qingcang, you don’t look too good.”
Ye Tianxin noticed that Li Qingcang looked worried.
Li Qingcang was holding her hands. He turned to Ye Tianxin and whispered into her ears.
Ye Tianxin was taken aback and looked at him in horror. “Qingcang, is it true?”
“Yes, it’s true.”
Ye Tianxin could not help but sigh when she confirmed what he just told her.
“Professor Xu lived an honorable life, and Xu Yuan had gone too far this time. Look what she did to her own father. I feel awful for him.”
Li Qingcang agreed. Professor Xu would not have jumped down from his house if Xu Yuan hadn’t forced him to.
If the person who threatened Professor Xu was not his own daughter, he would have never covered up for her and avoided reporting her to the police.
“Tmay have to consider this option.”
If Li Qingcang agreed to take over Professor Xu’s research, he might have to leave the army.
“Ineed to discuss with Xuning.”
“Are we going back now to see them?”
“No, I want to meet the guy who was following Li Bai.”
Ever since Li Zhiwei told Qie Wang about her suspicions about Li Bai, Li Qingcang had sent someone to follow Li Bai.
Li Bai was smart enough to know that someone was stalking him. He was always on his guard. They had to be careful when following him.
Li Bai would not have been arrested so quickly if they hadn’t followed him.
“All right. Tl go with you.”
Ye Tianxin merrily followed Li Qingcang to the detention center where Li Bai was locked up temporarily.
Li Bai was not a citizen of the country.
They also did not possess any evidence of his crime. Hence, his case was still pending.
“Li Zhiwei.”
Li Qingcang had asked Ye Tianxin to wait for him outside the interrogation room. He wanted to speak to Li Zhiwei alone.
Li Zhiwei looked up. She looked worn out and tired. She had been left in the solitary cell for a few hours.
“Captain Li, I had no idea Li Bai was like this. I thought I have finally met someone who loved and knew me. I’ve said all that I can and want to tell the police.”
Li Qingcang silently looked at Li Zhiwei, who looked back at him. Her eyes looked puffy and drained of expression.
After a moment, Li Qingcang stood up. He glanced at Li Zhiwei and said, “Ye Linlang is pregnant.”
“Who is pregnant?”
Li Zhiwei seemed not to have heard what he said, or perhaps she did not believe what she just heard..
