Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 433 Leaking Secrets

Xu Weiwei's university life gradually got back on track, and her research was also progressing in an orderly manner. Everything was moving in a good direction.

Until one day, Xu Weiwei suddenly felt her brain vibrate while she was training. She ignored it at first, thinking she would watch it after a break or after class.

But the vibrations never stopped. People passing by could feel it.

She looked up at Uncle Kai, who understood.

"You, go to the equipment room and bring me the pyramid."

"Yes! Instructor!"

Xu Weiwei went down happily.

After entering the equipment room and closing the door, before he had time to check the message, another call came in. Xu Weiwei had a bad feeling in her heart. Usually, being so anxious is not a good thing.

After the call was connected, Zhang Pete's slightly anxious voice sounded: "Miss, please check the Star Network quickly. Our research has been leaked."

Xu Weiwei's breathing slowed down for a moment, and she immediately calmed down and replied, "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up, she immediately went online to check. She didn't have to search, the homepage recommendation directly pushed the content to her.

[After Panax notoginseng, another medicinal plant was discovered! 】

Licorice

【Medicinal value of licorice】

【Have you ever seen this treasure plant? 】

……

There are similar articles and reports everywhere. The number of reposts is already alarmingly high, and the data is still rising rapidly.

Xu Weiwei calmed herself down and thought: Fortunately, it’s not all.

The problem definitely came from the laboratory. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, their internal staff cannot shirk their responsibility.

Xu Weiwei screened the earliest message related to licorice and found that it was released by an official account with a blue label.

The name of the official account sounds like a specialized academic platform. Xu Weiwei has never heard of it and does not understand its nature. The article mentions the efficacy and taste of licorice, and even explains its ingredients. It just does not say how it was discovered or who the original author is.

In the laboratory, Zhang Peter also urgently gathered everyone together.

"With such a big problem, each of us is a suspect. Whoever did it, I hope he will come forward and not call the police."

Everyone looked at each other, and no one said a word.

Zhang Pete's eyes swept over their faces one by one with scrutiny, giving them enough psychological pressure.

"No one has admitted it, right? Do you think you can hide it by not saying anything? Everything you do will leave evidence. Deleted data can be restored, and memories can be searched. There will be no room for maneuver by then."

After waiting quietly for a few seconds, Zhang Peter raised his wrist and prepared to call the police.

A boy in the last row saw this and sweat dripped down his forehead to the floor. At the critical moment, he couldn't stand the pressure and admitted it with gritted teeth.

"Teacher, I did it, don't call the police!"

Zhang Pete paused, then slowly put his hand down, looking at the man who was speaking with a heavy gaze. He had actually guessed it. Among the group of people, he was the only one who felt the most guilty and unnatural.

The others also looked surprised and turned to accuse him, "Brother?! How could you do such a thing!"

"I didn't expect it would be you."

"Why are you doing this?"

……

Being pointed at by everyone, the boy was ashamed and lowered his head deeply.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to betray you all, he promised me he would destroy it, I'm sorry..." The boy covered his face and burst into tears.

"You all go out first, I want to talk to him alone." Zhang Peter said softly.

The others left one after another, and only two people were left in the room.

Zhang Peter sighed, pulled a chair and sat down, and pushed one towards the boy: "Tell me why."

The boy did not sit down, but still stood there with his head down: "Teacher, I am Yan Bisheng."

"I know. I recruited you all. I know your background very well."

"When I was about to graduate last year, I had problems with my thesis. It was about regenerative neural implantation and brain imaging technology after optic nerve atrophy. My supervisor praised me for my good direction and said it was likely to be selected for publication in a core journal."

"But I didn't expect that nerve regeneration was exposed as false propaganda. The so-called improvement after implantation was nothing more than stimulating the surrounding intact nerves with weak electric currents to make the body respond."

The boy's eyes were red, and he choked with tears. "My thesis has become a ridiculous joke! The theoretical basis supporting it is false, so everything behind it is useless waste paper."

"During the past six months, my hair fell out in clumps. I stayed up late every day and finally put together a barely acceptable paper and submitted it."

"But the delay in graduation has already become a record in my file, and my new paper is academic garbage. I went for an interview, but no hospital was willing to hire me... I can't make ends meet in the Imperial Capital..."

Zhang Pete closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

He could understand his predicament. Most schools in the Imperial Capital had a rule that when graduation came, students had to move out of the school dormitory regardless of whether they had received their diplomas or not. The same was true for those who delayed graduation, who had to find a place to live outside.

Compared to other schools, it seems a little cold, but it is actually a helpless move. There are too many people who want to squeeze into the Imperial Capital Star, and dormitories are also a precious resource.

As for renting a house outside, it is difficult to find a decent house for less than 8000 star coins a month.

He already had a loan before coming to the institute as an assistant.

"Why don't you tell me if you have difficulties? The lady and I may help you. It's not a big deal to advance you a few months' salary." Zhang Peter said sadly.

"In half a year at most, our project will be fully implemented. Why are you...ah——"

The boy sat on the ground, buried his head in his arms, and cried loudly while mumbling: "I know this is wrong... I regretted it after contacting the people from Wansi.com. I told them, I told them, it can't be leaked..."

"You said you are in your twenties! You...ah!" Zhang Pete pointed at him with disappointment.

"Miss, did you hear that? That's the situation."

The boy looked up suddenly in surprise.

It turned out that the number Zhang Peter wanted to dial at first was not the police number, but Xu Weiwei's.

After the call was connected, Xu Weiwei listened silently and now had a general understanding of what had happened.
