spooky invasion

Chapter 357 Amazing amount of information
Zhou Jian babbled a lot, and finally got to the key information.

He also felt that Jiang Yue was very interested in this.

Zhou Jian was naturally willing to say more, so as to get closer to Jiang Yue and try his best to blend in with this group of people.

He also understood that among this group of people, as long as Jiang Yue was coaxed well, other people's opinions would be easy to say.

"Brother Zhou, please tell me more about the situation at that time."

Zhou Jian thought for a while, as if hesitating for something.

"Inconvenient to say?"

Zhou Jian scratched his head: "It's not inconvenient to say, but in retrospect, I think the situation at that time was a bit weird."

"How weird?"

"It's the left assistant, she's kind of weird. When we passed there, she was on the phone on the back of a big rock. Her vision couldn't see us, and we could just see her."

"Isn't she with Professor Lu?"

"Yes, but there is some distance between the two. Professor Lu is surveying the terrain, tying ropes, and preparing to go down to a certain place at the bottom of the valley. We didn't inquire about what he was going to do. The left assistant was on the other side and didn't help. Knot the rope."

"So what? Maybe it's just a personal call."

Jiang Yue didn't find it particularly strange when he thought of the complicated relationship between the two.

Maybe it was the left assistant's boyfriend or even his spouse calling?
She had a physical exchange with Professor Lu again, so it's not unusual for her to avoid Professor Lu for a while when answering this kind of phone call.

"It's not unusual to make a phone call, what's unusual is the content of the call."

When Zhou Jian said this, he hesitated again, obviously a little apprehensive.

"Brother Jiang Yue, are you sent by the government to look for Professor Lu?"

"Yes." Jiang Yue answered seriously.

"What about them?" Zhou Jian glanced at the others, still a little worried.

Jiang Yue probably guessed what he was afraid of.

Immediately patted him on the shoulder, and carried him to the window sill away from other people.

"Brother Zhou, speak boldly, keep your voice down, don't be afraid that I won't hear you." Jiang Yue's smile is very contagious, and that sincerity is like the sunshine that disperses the darkness, which is trustworthy and inspiring. peace of mind.

Zhou Jian said in a low voice: "The left assistant, she... She was bribed by others to steal Professor Lu's scientific research results. On the phone, she was begging the other party to give her a few days of time... Listen to her tone , seems to know that Professor Lu's scientific research results are hidden in a USB flash drive, but she just can't find that USB flash drive. I don't know what the other side of the phone said to her, anyway, Assistant Zuo is very afraid of him..."

Sure enough, all this coincided with what was recorded in that diary.

But this woman is indeed bold. Isn't she afraid that Professor Lu will find out when she writes such a diary?

It is estimated that there is only one possibility. Professor Lu is a genius in scientific research. In daily life, maybe everything is arranged by the left assistant.

In other words, Professor Lu may be an idiot at all, and he doesn't care about anything except scientific research.

This can explain why Zuo Yongqiu dared to write a diary and put it in the safe.

An old man who doesn't care about life, fighting wits with a scheming female watch, there must be no chance of winning.

What's more, this man didn't realize that the assistant lurking beside him had other thoughts.

But with such a combination, why did Professor Lu hide that USB drive so well?Zuo Yongqiu didn't get it?

Here's another puzzle.

It stands to reason that Professor Lu is a giant baby in life, and he is no match for Zuo Yongqiu.If there is such a USB flash drive, Zuo Yongqiu should have got it long ago.

Seeing Jiang Yue groaning silently, Zhou Jian panicked.

He also knew that he might be caught in a vortex. If the Jiang Yue in front of him had something to do with the person behind the left assistant, then he might face a very dire fate.

"Brother Zhou, didn't the left assistant evade the call at all?"

"I avoided it. She hid behind a big rock, her voice was not loud, and she spoke a dialect that outsiders couldn't understand. Coincidentally, my girlfriend is actually from her hometown!"

fellow countryman?

"Where is the fellow countryman?"

"Jiangbei District, a county below Tongcheng. It's [-] kilometers away from Xingcheng, and the dialects of the two places are completely unintelligible."

There are countless cities, counties and counties in the entire seven regions of Dazhang Kingdom, and there are all kinds of dialects. There are not five thousand but three thousand.

For example, it is impossible for the Jiangbei region and the Central South region to have the same accent. In addition to the unified official language, the dialects of each region cannot understand each other at all, let alone communicate.

"There is such a coincidence?" Jiang Yue was also quite incredulous.

"It's such a coincidence that my girlfriend didn't dare to say it at the time. After leaving there, she told me secretly."

Speaking of his girlfriend, Zhou Jian's mood fell into a trough again.

"Is this the weird situation you're talking about?"

"Yes, the situation at that time was indeed very strange. It stands to reason that we heard Assistant Zuo's phone call. She should be nervous and have a bad attitude. But it didn't. Instead, Professor Lu's attitude was very cold and advised us to leave quickly. The assistant on the left is very affectionate, talking and laughing with us, even asking us where we live, how long we are going to stay, and asking us to play after we go out.”

Jiang Yue suddenly felt cold: "You didn't tell her, did you?"

Zhou Jian shook his head: "No. Originally, she wanted to add my girlfriend as a WeChat friend, but my girlfriend couldn't refuse. When he hesitated, Professor Lu came over and said a few words. There was no bonus."

"what did he say?"

"He didn't mention us, he mainly talked about Assistant Zuo. He probably criticized her for being too playful. Tell her not to focus on calling and adding WeChat, and put work first."

"Then Professor Lu drove you away?"

"Yes, Professor Lu's attitude is very cold. It seems that he dislikes our influence on their work and told us to leave Immortal Valley as soon as possible."

Jiang Yue was silent for a while, then sighed: "Professor Lu is actually protecting you in disguise!"

"Ah?" Zhou Jian was extremely surprised, his eyes were full of doubts, and he looked at Jiang Yue puzzled.

"There must be some mutations in Immortal Valley, and there must be some dangers in itself. He let you leave, naturally to protect you. I don't want you to be involved in weird situations."

"Is that so?" Zhou Jian was a little surprised.Could it be that I misunderstood Professor Lu?

"From this point of view, Professor Lu is not only not a novice in life, but also a very smart person."

Zhou Jian was even more puzzled.

"So, you think Assistant Zuo is very enthusiastic, and Professor Lu is unreasonable. Right?"

"Actually, we are still more inclined to Professor Lu. The left assistant wants to steal other people's scientific research results. This is immoral and quite excessive."

"Then have you considered, Assistant Zuo doesn't know you well, why is he so enthusiastic? He even wants to play with you and add you on WeChat?"

"Why?" After Zhou Jian asked these three words, his face changed suddenly, as if he also remembered some kind of terrifying possibility.

"You mean..."

Jiang Yue smiled lightly: "So I said, Professor Lu is actually protecting you. If you leave a WeChat message, a phone number, and various information... then you will be in big trouble."

"This... this..." Zhou Jian's face changed drastically, and his lips trembled slightly.

Suddenly understanding that this is a poison wrapped in enthusiasm, a future trouble that may cause them to die without a place to bury them, I really broke out in a cold sweat.

"Do you understand?"

Zhou Jian's face turned pale, and he murmured, "The problem is...we ran into each other again in the restaurant when we came back that night. After all, my girlfriend added her WeChat."

Jiang Yue was speechless.

This girlfriend Zhou Jian really has a big heart.

"There's no information about your hometown on your girlfriend's WeChat, right?"

"Yes, but her circle of friends has been set to be visible for three days, and the address is filled in Star City, so it should not be noticed."

Zhou Jian seemed to be comforting himself, but he immediately said: "It's nothing if I found out, my girlfriend has already... Sigh!"

Jiang Yue shook his head, "If we hadn't rescued you, maybe this matter would be over. But now, it may not be over."

"Will they still find me?"

"Not only will they look for it, they will definitely look for it. If they get that USB flash drive, they will silence it. If they don't get that USB flash drive, they will wonder, did it fall into your hands?"

Zhou Jian yelled: "Professor Lu is not related to us, how could he give us such an important thing? They wouldn't be so brainless, would they? If they got something, why would they kill them? I don't know. who are they!"

All right.

But that kind of power has never reasoned with you.

What they want is absolute safety, and they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

"Then what should I do?" Zhou Jian really panicked.

"Keep your voice down." Jiang Yue shouted in a low voice.

If Du Yifeng knew the ins and outs of this matter, maybe Du Yifeng would give up Zhou Jian on the spot.

After all, according to Zhou Jian's statement, he is very likely to be targeted by a certain force.With Du Yifeng as a person, he will definitely not have any hesitation on how to choose at the critical moment.

Even if Zhou Jian's existence can make his mission reach a perfect level, if he has to take those unpredictable risks because of this, Du Yifeng will definitely cut the mess quickly, cut off with Zhou Jian quickly, and even put Zhou Jian out of the game.

Zhou Jian frowns, he is not a fool, Jiang Yue's reminder made him realize that he and his girlfriend really only got into big trouble.

Why is Assistant Zuo so enthusiastic and insists on making friends with them?Could it be that the assistants of the dignified academicians are short of their two friends?
Such enthusiasm is perverse in itself.

That woman must be worried that her phone call has been tapped. For the sake of safety, she must find love and deal with the aftermath.

She certainly wouldn't kill herself.

But she didn't need to do it herself at all, as long as she sent out the information of the two of them, the forces behind them would naturally do it.

What a disaster.

"Will this...will affect my family?" Zhou Jian wept.

"That depends on their desire and importance for this scientific research result."

It's not easy for Jiang Yue to make this kind of judgment. He doesn't know how crazy the other party will go.

Zhou Jian inserted his hands into the messy hair, scratched his scalp frantically, and said angrily: "They will definitely look for my family, they will... I am a troublemaker, I..."

As Zhou Jian said, he slapped himself on the face vigorously.

"Calm down." Jiang Yue hurriedly stopped. Although Du Yifeng couldn't see it from this angle, it would not be a good thing if there was too much movement.

"Brother Jiang Yue, tell me...do I still have a remedy?"

"There is, but it may not work."

"What? Tell me about it,"

"If the outside world thinks that you and your girlfriend died in the ecological park and didn't get out alive, maybe this matter will stop here and the family will not be affected."

"Then I'll go out quietly, so as not to disturb other people." Zhou Jian said firmly.

"However, there is also a great risk in doing so. In case the outside world knows that you are alive, and you hide again. This is tantamount to admitting that you have a ghost in your heart. At that time, the yellow mud will fall into the crotch. It's not shit, it's shit."

It's not that Jiang Yue is alarmist, there is indeed such a possibility.

If Du Yifeng wants to take Zhou Jian out to hand over the task, the officials will definitely know Zhou Jian's identity.If the government does some publicity, wouldn't it be leaked?

Even if you don't engage in propaganda and reporting, who can ensure that there are no insiders lurking in the officialdom?

As long as there is an inner ghost, the news that Zhou Jian is still alive can be easily spread.

At that time, Zhou Jian will not have a USB flash drive in his hand, but can the other party believe it?
Zhou Jian's emotions collapsed, and he started to cry softly.

He never imagined that spending a short vacation with his girlfriend would cause such a big disaster.

His girlfriend was buried in the abyss, and he was also involved in such a mess that would cause endless troubles.

It is not a pity to die alone, but when he thinks that his family will be affected, Zhou Jian really regrets it, his intestines are almost green.

"Brother Jiang Yue, is there any other way to remedy this?"

"one left."

"Really? Tell me quickly." Zhou Jian and the drowning man caught a life-saving straw.

"It's very simple, you help me find this USB flash drive, and I will control this USB flash drive. Then all the blame will be pointed at me, and you will be fine naturally."

Is it still possible to do this?

Zhou Jian stared at Jiang Yue dumbly, unable to believe it for a moment, thinking that Jiang Yue was joking.

"Brother Zhou, do you disagree?"

"I... I... Isn't this fair to you? How can I harm my old classmate's younger brother, and may even implicate my old classmate. No, this method really won't work. "

After all, Zhou Jian is not that kind of selfish person, he is still kind in heart.He can't accept it in his conscience to let someone else take over the tank for his own troubles.

What's more, when he was in middle school, Jiang Ying was still the goddess he secretly had a crush on.

Jiang Yue said: "Can you carry it by yourself?"

"I can't bear it, but I can't harm you, or my conscience will be disturbed for the rest of my life."

"I can carry it." Jiang Yue said lightly.

"Let me tell you, my mission here is to find Professor Lu and his scientific research materials. I represent the government, so I am not the only one who carries this thing in my hands. But you are different. "

Zhou Jian fell into a long silence, as if the battle between heaven and man was still going on in his heart, as if there was still some information that was difficult to decide.

Jiang Yue was not in a hurry. He seemed to guess that Zhou Jian still had important information to reveal, but he didn't threaten or lure him. He just waited for Zhou Jian to figure it out and make his own decision.
