Chapter 1174 - 675: The Old Ginger is Still Spicy

Chapter 1174: Chapter 675: The Old Ginger is Still Spicy

Professor Liu’s face momentarily betrayed surprise before he could react.

The next second, Wu Zeyuan continued.

"So you can’t accuse us of being ungrateful, we haven’t forgotten our roots, we’ve always placed scientific research first, even above our own lives."

"Moreover, we’re using our spare time to handle things, so the phenomenon you just mentioned doesn’t exist, and besides, this is about a human life."

"Since it’s about a life, how could we possibly stand by and do nothing? We can’t just stand by, so no matter what you say, we won’t give up."

Wu Zeyuan’s gaze became a few shades more serious, even exuding threads of determination.

His eyes were fixed on Professor Liu.

Waiting for Professor Liu’s response.

But Professor Liu was truly driven mad with anger, unable to utter a word.

Just staring at Wu Zeyuan.

As for Wu Zeyuan, he felt no emotional disturbance.

After all, he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

If it’s from the bottom of the heart, what is there to be guilty about?

It’s only falsehoods that breed guilt.

Jiang Qi couldn’t help but give a big thumbs up.

But then Professor Liu turned his gaze upon him.

Yet, Jiang Qi didn’t feel awkward at all, and even naturally said,

"Professor Liu, I think Wu Zeyuan is absolutely right, which is why I gave my approval here. If Wu Zeyuan were wrong, I wouldn’t be behaving like this!"

"Actually, I know you’re worried we’re wasting time, but since we’re solving it in our free time, where’s the waste? So please don’t worry about it anymore!"

"Moreover, we won’t use the time for research to handle this issue, just our free time. We’re aware of what’s more important and won’t forget our roots."

Hence, clarification was certainly needed.

No matter whether Professor Liu believes it or not, that’s what they were going to say anyway.

And they truly meant it and wouldn’t break their promise.

How could they? Every word spoken was true.

It’s just uncertain what Professor Liu might think about this.

Professor Liu remained silent.

Seated to the side, Liu Yue wanted to stand up at first, but upon hearing their conversation, she discarded the thought.

Better not to disturb them.

They were in discussion, so she stayed silent in her seat.

Although clueless about the specific discussion, she knew it was all for her own good.

Therefore, no need to interfere.

Let them handle it.

After all, she too had truly tried her best.

If things really didn’t work out, they would come to join her for a meal.

Actually, they were in a tight spot too.

Just off work and wanting to eat, they got roped into this matter by her father.

Initially dragged into it, but eventually, they genuinely wanted to take charge.

Though they didn’t share this intention with her, she could still guess.

After all, it wasn’t a difficult concept.

The next moment, Wu Zeyuan took a deep breath and slowly said,

"Professor Liu, we’re not wasting our research time now, so what else do you have to say? If you have other opinions, you can voice them."

"We can discuss them together, after all, it’s not good for one person to dwell on thoughts alone. It’s better to discuss and make it interesting."

"You’ve been silent, and we have no idea what you’re thinking. We’re puzzled and unsure of what to do next, so your opinion is very important to us."

He once again pushed Professor Liu to the forefront of the debate.

Refusing to believe that Professor Liu would remain silent.

Perhaps Professor Liu would yet speak.

So, just wait patiently.

As time ticked away, Professor Liu didn’t say a word.

Though he was silent, his expression was extremely grave, and his eyes stayed on them, but still, he said nothing.

Wu Zeyuan fell silent for a moment, then finally spoke softly,

"Professor Liu, I know you’re in a bad mood, and I understand why. After all, we’ve rejected your viewpoint."

"So you’re feeling really bad, but we too are genuine, doing this for your good. If it weren’t for your benefit, we wouldn’t be here saying all this."

"We finally got off work to eat, only to encounter this situation. It’s distressing for us too, and we’d like to go and eat right away, but the circumstances don’t allow us to do so immediately."

Having said that, Wu Zeyuan even let out a sigh, his whole demeanor seeming somewhat downcast.

Moments later, he made a point of gazing at Professor Liu for a while longer.

Observing every move Professor Liu made.

Discovering no superfluous expression on Professor Liu’s face.

Wu Zeyuan felt a renewed sense of loss and shock at this sight.

He couldn’t help but admire Professor Liu.

Professor Liu’s moods were truly ever-changing.

Indeed, capable of showing a different face in a moment’s notice.

With this in mind, Wu Zeyuan adjusted his breathing and shifted his mindset, then continued to speak.

"Even though we’re eager to eat, we still need to resolve this issue. We’re taking responsibility for this matter since we’ve already promised Liu Yue."

"If we don’t settle this issue, then our word means nothing. So whatever we promise, we will fulfill, without fail."
