legs, stood up and walked in front of Charlie.They were about the same height, but Charlie's imposing manner was much weaker than Augustine's. Augustine stood in front of him and looked at him, which made him feel like he was being looked down upon.

Augustine spoke, because his anger made his voice sound low and dangerous: "I don't have time to fight with you, I don't want to take what you took away, so I will give you a list, please convert it into cash and return it to me. In addition, you remember to return my USB flash drive to me. I have only completed half of the thesis in the USB flash drive. With your ability, you can’t figure out how I synthesized new rare heavy metal elements. So before the situation gets serious When you get out of hand, hand over my things, otherwise..." Augustine stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "You will bear the consequences."

There was panic in Charlie's eyes but not panic. He pretended to be calm and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't take your things or your papers."

Augustine took a step back and looked at Charlie who was cramped but trying to straighten his back. After thinking for a while, he understood.His eyes became colder and colder, and the faint smile on his lips disappeared: "You know I've just been released from prison, right?"

Augustine suddenly changed the subject, and Charlie was a little confused, so he answered tentatively: "Yes, so?"

"The police in Las Vegas want to pay me back, and Jones' political enemies want to use me to hit Jones. It's too late for Jones to please me. Even so, you are naive to think that Jones will sit back and let his wife let you steal me An act of achievement? When this gets out, do you think Jones will help me or help you?"

Charlie's face turned pale, and he said dully, "I, I. How could this be..."

Augustine hid the coldness in his eyes, and a plan came up in his mind. He seemed to back down a step: "For the sake of you being my friend, I will give you a buffer time. After all, you won't be able to make it for a while." So much money, I'll come back tomorrow." Saying that, Augustine walked out the door without stopping.Charlie was left slumped on the ground with a panicked expression.

After going downstairs, Augustine went straight to the mall and bought a mobile phone.He called Leonard immediately after turning it on.As soon as the call was connected, Augustine couldn't wait to say: "Leonard, I'll give you an IP address, can you hack it for me?"

"Okay, what's the matter?" Leonard was taken aback by Augustine's urgent tone.

Augustine didn't bother to explain. He said bluntly: "Something happened in the dormitory, and I need to know what happened. So I want you to help me hack into my roommate's computer and monitor him."

"But it's against the law!" Leonard hesitated.

"Don't worry, I can handle it." Augustine said quickly, "Now I'll send you the address."

"Wait..." Augustine hung up the phone before Leonard finished speaking.

After sending a text message, Augustine closed the phone and his eyes were dim. He was still depressed because he couldn't make Jones and his wife uncomfortable, but he never thought that Mrs. Jones would give him such a big deal. Jones really didn't eat any fish this time and it made him smell fishy.Wanted to see his face when he knew his wife had done another stupid thing.

Augustine wasn't worried about her thesis in the slightest.That thesis had long been firmly engraved in his mind.However, the paper on the USB disk only wrote his conjecture, and did not mention the calculation method and theoretical basis for verifying the conjecture.That's why Charlie Lewis didn't keep his papers for himself for so long.

Charlie will definitely go to Mrs. Jones for help if he is threatened. Augustine was not afraid that Charlie would get help, but that Mrs. Jones would not help him.He desperately hoped that this incident would get bigger and better.

Looks like he's really going to be in California for a long time.

After hesitating for a moment, Augustine sent Lee a text message, after all, he didn't want to make the relationship between the two of them stiff. Lee quickly texted Augustine back, expressing understanding and sympathy for Augustine's situation and eagerly asking if he needed his help.

Augustine kindly declined.

It didn't take long for Augustine's phone to ring again. Listening to the American national anthem, Augustine was a little embarrassed. Instead of looking at the caller ID, he quickly answered the phone: "Hello, who is there?"

"Hi, Aust is me." Reid's voice full of surprise came, and Augustine could almost imagine Reid's shining eyes on the other end of the phone: "I called you several times and you didn't answer, which makes me a little worried. How are you?"

Augustine's heart softened, and her eyes softened unconsciously.He stopped and leaned against the wall to pick up the phone intently: "I'm fine. I accidentally lost my phone before and didn't receive your call. What about you? Are you still in the hospital?"

"No, my injury is not serious, and I was discharged from the hospital yesterday. It's a rare day off, and I'm reading at home now." Reid said.

Augustine teased: "It's rare, didn't you have a holiday a few days ago? Don't forget that you stayed at my house for a day."

Reid pursed his lips, he didn't have the nerve to tell Augustine that it was not a vacation, but that he asked for a special leave to stay in Las Vegas.He mumbled a few times, bypassing the topic: "I watched the news. There was a lot of trouble on 'Oceanus', were you injured?"

"No, I'm smart." Augustine chuckled softly.

"That's good. Are you home now? Did Mr. Jones make things difficult for you again?" Reid asked with concern.

Augustine replied: "I didn't go back, I went back to school to deal with my academic problems." Subconsciously Augustine concealed his current situation, he didn't want Reid to worry about him.

Reid was a little happy when he heard this: "This is great. It seems that we will meet again."

"What's wrong?" Augustine was a little surprised: "Did serial murders happen in California?"

"No." Reid replied immediately: "It's just that I checked my mailbox after I came back and found that my supervisor sent me an invitation letter a few days ago. He invited me back to participate in a thesis defense. The topic this time is very novel. I am very interested in the defense meeting on the synthesis conjecture of new rare heavy metal elements."

Augustine froze for a moment, and the curve of the corners of his mouth gradually became flat. No wonder Charlie Lewis panicked when he saw him. It turned out that it was because his thesis defense was just around the corner, and he was afraid of revealing his true colors.

"Aust?" Reid was puzzled after not getting a response from Augustine for a long time: "What's wrong with you?"

Augustine suddenly came back to his senses, and he said without showing any clues: "No, I also have some impressions when I heard you talk about that defense meeting. I planned to participate in it too. After all, this defense meeting will definitely be very exciting."

Reid felt that Augustine's tone of voice was a little strange, he thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of anything. Reid suspected that he was thinking too much, so he didn't ask too much: "Then I will call you when I go back to school?"

"Okay." Augustine quickly agreed, "See you then."

"Well, Bye." Reid hung up the phone.

Augustine put away her phone and thought for a while before reaching out to flag down a taxi and drive towards Sheldon's house.

On the way, he was also quite relaxed thinking about dragging Charlie Lewis's fortune, so the cold war between him and Sheldon would soon be over.

When they got to Sheldon's house, Augustine realized it wasn't time for them to go home.Looking at the closed door, Augustine felt helpless.This is a blonde beauty coming up from downstairs. She looked at Augustine struggling for a moment and greeted him proactively: "Hi, sir, what are you doing standing here... ohmygod, you are Augustine Jones!"

"Yes, it's me." Augustine looked at the person coming, and was not angry because of her voice: "Nice to meet you, who are you?"

"I'm Penny, nice to meet you." Penny said excitedly: "I've seen your experiences in the newspapers every day recently, you are really miserable. Oh, I'm not poking your wounds, I just sympathize... Damn!" She bit her lip and explained in vain: "I mean I sympathize with what happened to you, I..."

"I understand." Augustine interrupted Penny's confused explanation, he smiled kindly and then changed the subject: "I know you too, you are Leonard's girlfriend."

Penny suddenly stopped, with a troubled face: "er, in a sense... By the way, are you Leonard's friend? He's at work now. Why don't you come to my house for a while? We can still chat chat."

"No need." Augustine vetoed it straight away, he didn't need to think about what she wanted to talk to him: "I'll just go to the coffee shop below and wait for Leonard to come back."

"Don't be so troublesome." Penny said quickly, "I have the key to their house. You can sit down for a while. I'll make you tea." Penny quickly opened the door of her house and took it from the bowl next to the door. Show a bunch of keys: "comeon, I know where their things are kept? Do you want tea or coffee?"

"Whatever." Augustine smiled stiffly, lamenting in her heart that the next hour-long talk would really be impossible to escape.

When Sheldon and Leonard came back, Augustine's eyes lit up as if seeing a savior, and she almost burst into tears.

Penny is a good girl, she is warm and outgoing.But the disadvantage is that it is too enthusiastic. Augustine never knew how to say no to girls.So if the two of Sheldon came back one step later, all of his family would be picked up by Penny.

Leonard entered the door and greeted the two. Penny seemed a little embarrassed to see him, and so did Leonard, who greeted feebly and turned to look at Sheldon out of habit.Seeing Sheldon glaring at Augustine angrily, he said loudly, "Why are you here! You are not welcome in my family! Get out of here!"

Seeing that Sheldon was still angry, Augustine pursed his lips. He ignored Sheldon and said to Leonard who was gloating, "Thank you for inviting me to live with you."

"No, no need." Leonard froze after finishing speaking, he turned to look at Sheldon, and he really saw him waiting for him with an angry face. Leonard groaned in his heart, lamenting that Augustine's ability to transfer hatred had not diminished but increased. He froze for a while, and then said in a very exaggerated tone: "Hi, Penny, I haven't introduced you yet, this is Augustine Jones!"

"I know." Penny glanced at Sheldon and then at Augustine with a stiff smile, and asked in a low voice, "Is he one of Sheldon's sworn enemies?"

"Yes."

"No, we're friends."

Sheldon and Augustine spoke at the same time.

Hearing Augustine's words, Sheldon exaggerated as if hearing a shocking joke: "Aha! You actually said that we are friends! Who turned down my good intentions and turned to study those bumbling gadgets Damn!"

"Sheldon." Augustine had a headache. He thought for a while and decided to let others take the blame: "It's not that I don't want to study string theory with you. In fact, I have to study criminal psychology. I think I must be in prison. What kind of negative buff is infected, do you know that since I was released from prison, I have encountered many perverted killers. If I don’t learn criminal psychology, how can I fight them?”

"Did you know?" Sheldon crossed his arms and glared at him. "You can prove superstring theory and throw them into a black hole! Just like I want to do to Leonard."

"Come on." Leonard was taken aback by his innocence, and turned to look at him: "It's none of my business!"

"Oh? What's none of your business?" Sheldon was a little annoyed: "First: Since you came back from dating Penny, you asked me 23 times what I did wrong and why the relationship between you became more and more awkward after dating. Two: You actually let this guy in without my permission!"

Now Leonard and Penny were embarrassed, they looked at each other. Leonard hurriedly said: "Penny, listen to my explanation, I didn't ask so many times, I only asked a few times."

"I'm counting, Leonard," Sheldon said.

Augustine looked helpless at this scene, and he tried to explain: "Sheldon, I can't sit still. If I don't arm myself, it's probably me who will be unlucky, you know?"

Sheldon looked at him and said angrily: "You know what? When I develop superstring theory, you will be the first person I throw into a black hole!" Then he shook his hands and went back to the room.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Leonard tried to find a joke: "Well, Austin, I am very grateful to you. With your existence, I am not the first person who was thrown into the black hole by Sheldon." He looked at the atmosphere even colder, and waved his hands feebly. Getting lower and lower, with a sense of uncertainty: "yeah?"

"Leonard, this isn't funny." Penny reminded.

"Well..." Leonard slapped his fingers awkwardly: "No, the joke is, Sheldon... Forget it, I'll make you a cup of tea." He got up and left quickly.

Augustine looked at Leonard's fleeing driving, and couldn't bear to tell him that he had already had enough water.

Looking at Leonard who was busy in the kitchen, Augustine smiled at Penny: "Leonard is like this. In fact, the point of the joke is that I was unlucky to replace Leonard. Personally, as a bystander, it is still funny. But Leonard is very sensitive, and other people's incomprehension is usually regarded by him as a negation of himself. This is actually related to his family and his childhood. That's why he has low self-esteem and is not good at speaking. Leaving aside these Leonard is a rare good person. "

Penny curled her mouth: "Why do you keep saying good things about him? This will make me think you like him."

Augustine blinked: "Because you are a good girl, I don't want Leonard to miss you."

Penny froze and felt uncomfortable when she heard the words, she unconsciously turned her gaze away: "How do you say that, I don't want to leave him..." She said without confidence.

Augustine didn't expose him, but said, "I just think you're a little unsure of your feelings."

Penny was silent for a while, and he turned to look at Leonard who was busy in the kitchen.Hearing him say loudly, "Will Penny have some Irish black tea?"

"Okay, honey." Penny said, eyes soft.

"You'll love it. The tea is rich in vitamin A and vitamin E, and contains a variety of anti-cancer and anti-aging trace elements. It is a natural bodybuilding drink that helps keep the skin smooth, white and tender, reduces wrinkles, and resists aging. Oxidation, radiation protection, improving immunity, preventing tumors..." Leonard brought two cups of black tea over, handed a cup to Augustine, and then enthusiastically promoted it to Penny: "Come and try."

Penny took a sip, she was not used to the heat of black tea.After all, she usually drinks iced black tea or canned room temperature black tea.But looking at Leonard's expression, she said against her will: "It's delicious, thank you."

Leonard laughed.

Augustine covered his eyes, he had a feeling that his eyes were going to be blinded by a flash.The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he leaned on the back of the chair in a daze.

Leonard quickly realized that he was a little embarrassed: "Then what, Augustine, I have asked Howard to do what you told me. After all, he is better than me in this regard."

Augustine nodded, he wanted to get rid of Howard but for some reason Howard seemed to be very prejudiced against him.Now it's best to let Leonard do the talking.

He nodded and said sincerely, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. It's just that you're in some trouble?"

Augustine was about to explain, but Sheldon came out of the room, his face was a bit tangled, and his hesitant expression made his whole face twitch.

Seeing this, Augustine understood that he had something to say to herself, but she couldn't get rid of it, so Augustine showed weakness first: "Sheldon, did I do something wrong again?"

Sheldon took a deep breath: "Austin, I remember you once asked me for a simple chemistry question about element synthesis, right?"

Augustine, out of habit, dropped the word 'simple', knowing it was the softest word Sheldon could think of.Undoubtedly, Sheldon's change of attitude made him a little puzzled: "Yeah, what's wrong."

"Maybe you can go to Caltech's official website and have a look, it will help you a little bit." Sheldon said, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, looking very awkward.

Seeing this, Augustine was convinced, and it seemed that Charlie Lewis had made a move.He borrowed a computer from Leonard and logged on to the campus network to search for the latest information on the chemistry section.

Soon a conspicuous title drawn in red letters came into his sight.The title name is "Conjecture about the synthesis of new heavy metal elements."

Augustine's face turned cold, he kept the corners of his mouth curved, and entered with a sarcasm on his face.He wanted to see what the hell Charlie Lewis was up to.

On the web page, Charlie Lewis slightly changed the half of Augustine's paper and published it under his own name.This was what Augustine had expected, so he wasn't surprised.What pissed him off was the Charlie Lewis monologue at the bottom of the page after he had skimmed through the paper he had written.

The article claims that he suddenly came up with the theoretical conjecture of this paper when he was having lunch one day. Excited, he shared this conjecture with his friend Augustine Jones. After hearing this, Augustine was very excited and praised him repeatedly, and begged him to let him join the research. Since the two were good friends who lived in the same dormitory, Charlie Lewis agreed.But things suddenly turned around. Augustine was framed by the "bone digger" and imprisoned, so the research that had finally made progress had to be shelved.During the time Augustine was in prison. Charlie Lewis researched alone with grief.Due to the lack of partners and my own grief and indignation, the research progress is slow, so it is still an immature conjecture until now.

Originally, Charlie Lewis wanted to rot this research in his stomach to commemorate his friendship with Augustine.But he suddenly learned the good news that Augustine was released from prison.He couldn't help but decided to hold a defense meeting of this conjecture the day after tomorrow to celebrate his friend Augustine being cleared of his grievances.

In the end, he hoped that Augustine would be there to help him complete the rest of the paper and create their shared myth.

The article was so touching that those who read it couldn't help crying, and they admired Charlie Lewis' spirit of willing to give up half of his reputation to Augustine and share the honor with him.

As for Augustine, he only had one thought after reading this article, and that was that he was going to be blown up!How can there be such shameless people in the world! Charlie Lewis made a good move, which not only allowed him to get out of the dilemma of plagiarizing papers, but also made him popular with Augustine's reputation. Charlie Lewis had a good calculation. He said that even if Augustine presented the remaining half of the thesis in the defense meeting, it could not mean that the idea was proposed by himself.This feels more disgusting than eating [-] flies!

The author has something to say: Haha, it’s too much, if I can really break out the paper, I can apply for the Nobel Prize QAQ

So there will be some bugs in the defense meeting, please forgive the scumbag author, I will try to check some QAQ information

I haven't left a message for a week, I'm really sorry for the little angels who keep leaving messages for me

Please don't relax, press your claws vigorously on the scumbag author's article!

It's useless to just be angry. The reason why Charlie Lewis defended his thesis so quickly was that he didn't want to give Augustine time to react.If Augustine was immersed in anger, it would be his way instead.Augustine understands this truth, so no matter how angry he is now, he is trying to force himself to calm down.

Charlie Lewis's brain would never have thought of such a Jedi counterattack, and there must be his stepmother's shadow behind it. Without his knowledge, Augustine's eyes darkened, and there was an aura that didn't belong to him.He didn't realize it himself.He closed the computer with an unprecedented calmness on his face.

Leonard was taken aback, the words he wanted to say were unconsciously stuck in his throat, unable to speak.

Sheldon didn't seem to notice it, or he was used to it. He said to Augustine: "It's very interesting. There are still people who want your paper."

Leonard twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard this, stretched out his hand and tugged Sheldon gently, signaling him not to talk nonsense. Sheldon didn't understand what Leonard meant, and turned to look at him suspiciously.

Augustine didn't care.He was used to Sheldon's tone after all. Although Sheldon has a self-important appearance, he really doesn't make things difficult for others, of course it doesn't count if he tosses people. Compared with other duplicitous villains, Sheldon is simply an angel.

Leonard asked cautiously, "How do you solve it?"

Augustine's face was still cold, he leaned slightly on the back of the chair, his posture was lazy and dangerous, as if he had changed into a different person.He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said casually: "Since he wants my idea, I will give it to him, but I don't know if he has the ability to eat it."

"Then what do you do now?"

"Write the second half of the thesis first." Augustine said lazily, but her body didn't move.Seems like this proving his innocence isn't all that important to him.

"Wait, what's going on here?" Penny was still at a loss: "Didn't Austin and Charlie write this paper together? Why did you act... like an enemy?"

"The fact is that this doctoral dissertation was actually completed by Augustine alone and Charlie Lewis was not involved..." Leonard explained to Penny in a low voice.

After Leonard basically finished explaining, Penny was even more angry than Augustine: "That bastard! If this happened to me, I would have shot him in the head with a pistol!"

Augustine paused, suddenly worried about Leonard's future.If Leonard can't catch up with Penny, he might be in a state of depression. If he catches up with him, the rest of his life... Augustine can already imagine the scene of Penny driving Leonard, the little donkey, with a whip.

"Austin, just ignore him. Just write the second half of the thesis and throw it in his face, then the truth will become clear!" Penny patted Augustine's shoulder vigorously, and Augustine suddenly felt that his shoulder must have been twisted...

Seeing that Penny hadn't understood the point, Sheldon said, "well, let me explain it to you mercifully. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part is the theory, and the second part is the method to prove the theory. Since ancient times Whether the theory is valuable or the method of proving the theory is valuable has always been a topic of debate among scientists. So if the theory is really taken up by that Lewis, once this new rare metal element is successfully discovered, Lewis will have it and named it together with Austin. The right to this new element. Even if this element is of great help to mankind, then the names of Lewis and Austin will be written on the same page in the history books, and they will get the same Nobel medal together, and all the honors belonging to Austin will be divided in half. Lewis is a liar. The only luck is that Austin’s last name starts with J and Lewis’s last name starts with L, so Austin’s name will be ranked before Lewis, haha.” Sheldon smiled to himself, no one echoed .

"I don't understand." Penny was speechless with a stiff expression.

"Let's put it this way." Leonard explained: "You work in a cheesecake factory, and an employee comes to your boss and says he spends half of your working hours for you, so he can claim half of your wages from your boss. .Understand?"

Penny whispered in embarrassment, "Yeah, this really is my life."

The corner of Leonard's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say, he thought for a while before adding: "The person who didn't help you took half of your salary..."

"son of bitch!" Penny cursed unbearably.

Leonard turned his head and smiled smugly: "Look, she understands."

Penny was still angry, and she asked Augustine with lingering fear: "Then you have no way to prove that you came up with that damned metal? You just let him take advantage of it."

is a metal element. Augustine corrected silently in her heart, and then said: "There is a way, but there is almost evidence?"

"?"

Augustine deduced: "Although Charlie Lewis has some hobbies for taking advantage of small things, he would never dare to steal papers in normal times. So there must be someone behind this."

"Who is it?" Penny asked immediately.

Augustine shook her head lightly: "I don't want to say it."

Seeing Augustine's cold face, Penny was stunned for a moment, and didn't ask any further questions.

Sheldon said: "Didn't you tell your mentor what you thought? Could you ask him to come forward and testify for you?"

Augustine smiled wryly, "I'm afraid not." Mrs. Jones would not leave such a big opening.If he guessed correctly, his former mentor would have been dealt with long ago.If Augustine hastily involved him, I'm afraid he will be beaten up.

"Is there no other way?" Leonard asked worriedly.

Augustine sighed softly: "We can only see if Howard can catch evidence that Charlie Lewis is in contact with the person behind him."

"Then I'll call and ask for you." Leonard enthusiastically dialed the phone.

The call was quickly connected, and Leonard switched on the speakerphone.

Howard's voice was a little lazy: "Hi, Leonard. What can I do for you?"

Leonard said quickly: "I asked you to monitor an IP before..."

Leonard was only halfway through when Howard interrupted him: "What are you talking about? I hacked into his computer and was using it to record videos. By the way, what are you spying on him for?"

Leonard said vaguely, "It's a little personal. Now what? Can you send me the video?"

"Okay. Turn on your computer." There was a sound of keyboard tapping from the microphone: "Then, send!" Howard said happily.

Leonard quickly turned on the computer and received the video from Howard.

Leonard is very efficient.The video was filmed shortly after Augustine left the dormitory.Use Charlie Lewis' own computer.

He seemed a little flustered, and kept walking up and down the dormitory, muttering something in his mouth. Because his voice was too low, Augustine couldn't hear it clearly, which roughly meant talking to himself in a panic.

Then he suddenly thought of something and rushed to the computer, opened the webpage, and entered an address that seemed to be gibberish in the URL column.

The picture didn't turn on after a long time, which made him panic. He kept biting his thumb, almost biting off his nails.The body is still trembling.

Fortunately, the video was switched on one second before he collapsed.

Only the enlarged face of Charlie Lewis can be seen on the camera, and it is not clear who he is talking to.

As soon as the video request was connected, Charlie Lewis couldn't wait to say: "He's back, he knows!" His voice was crying so heavily that he almost collapsed.

Augustine's familiar voice came from the other end of the video, it was
