275: Chapter 275 The Two-Faced Teacher

Dr. Noah finally returned to the USA military base on Phantom Island in Japan from Hazelwood Valley.

This time, although his plan had been delayed, it was not without gains.

At the very least, he now understood some of the characteristics of the mutation.

First, the variants that were injected directly were the strongest. They could be called the Parent.

The stronger the original quality of the Parent, the stronger it became after mutation.

Then there were the secondary variants infected by the Parent. Their various functions would decline significantly.

This was also the reason why, even with tens of thousands of infected, Hazelwood Valley was eventually wiped out by the army.

And Noah had to be grateful for this sudden outbreak of an unexpected event.

Because he discovered that the cause of the mutation was that the mathematical model encoded into the phantom juice had some issues.

But although Noah was already a top scientist, mathematics was not his strongest area.

Especially in the direction of creating higher dimensions using "Category Theory," he could not be considered a professional.

This kind of abstract mathematical theory, which revealed the internal unity of topology, linearity, geometry, etc., required the help of large models to perform sufficient verification.

Noah discovered that what he actually lacked most around him were mathematical talents.

Noah sat in front of the computer, opened authoritative websites, and began searching for relevant talent.

MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford, and Zurich all had deep foundations. In terms of mathematics, they were full of talent.

But Noah needed the top-tier ones.

He began browsing through various mathematical journals, such as the Annals of Mathematics, Acta Mathematica, and so on.

Many of the papers were very brilliant.

Noah himself was also an academic, so he read such dry material with great interest.

After finishing each one, he would check the signature of the paper.

But just after appreciating a stunning mathematical paper, Noah saw the author's biography and was even more shocked.

A genius girl who published academic papers at 23? Named Ziyee Xu. And she was Chinese?

Was their country so impressive now? But indeed, China's technological development had been very fast in recent years.

Moreover, they seemed to have phantom juice in their hands, but he didn't know which stage their research had reached.

Noah thought about it and decided that Chinese people were better off being excluded.

In the end, he set his sights on an Abel Prize winner from Kyoto University in Japan, Boyuan Zhishu!

Heh, it was perfect to take a trip to Kyoto and look for Lucifer while he was at it.

He reckoned this group of assassins must be getting impatient too.

The detonation plan needed to be executed immediately; otherwise, he reckoned the Watchers would soon notice the changes happening on the Black List side.

Ziyee Xu, of course, was Teacher Xu. After finishing her morning class today, she arrived at the company.

She didn't go to see the student she had made "aggrieved" yesterday, but instead walked straight into her office.

A male employee walked in; it was Xia Yang from the product department, now the manager of the immune cell department, and the prized student brought up by Professor Xu Zhiran.

"Little President Xu, these expenses and plans need your review and signature."

Xu Zhiyi had originally taken out her phone, about to start her entertainment activities again.

Seeing that there was work, she looked disgusted.

She took the stack of files from Xia Yang, glanced at them, and prepared to pick up her pen.

But suddenly! She asked: "In these places, the expenses aren't right, are they?"

Xia Yang was shocked. This Little President Xu, who was usually careless and spent her days playing around, wasn't she completely indifferent to work?

How could she, with just a glance, spot a small problem in such a complex budget?

Xu Zhiyi raised her head, her intellectual and beautiful face becoming incredibly cold.

It even made people feel a bit intimidated.

At this moment, she had none of the naivety and carelessness she had when she was with Su Nange.

Xu Zhiyi was completely in the mode of the strictest teacher!

She said coldly: "You are someone brought up by my sister. This time, I will pretend I know nothing! Don't pull such little tricks again in the future."

Then, with a flick on the desk, the stack of files slid to the corner of the desk.

Xia Yang felt a bit awkward. Since his direct superior had given him a way out, he immediately took the stack of documents back to revise them.

Watching her office door close, Xu Zhiyi took out her phone again and started scrolling.

Su Nange knew that Teacher Xu had come to the company, so he brought over the latest anti-aging drink.

Sure enough, this woman was still the same.

She had taken off her shoes, her two legs were hooked over the back of the chair, and her small back was leaning against the table.

It looked like she was about to perform a bicycle kick.

Su Nange shook his head. What kind of pose was this?

"Teacher, this is a new product sample just made by the company's laboratory. You are the leader of the product department, so why not taste it? It's for anti-aging and beauty."

Su Nange actually still wanted to apologize for yesterday's events.

He felt increasingly unable to control himself, having actually left red marks all over his teacher's body.

If Xu Zhiyi were to report him, he would have to go to jail.

Of course, how could Xu Zhiyi bear to report him?

Xu Zhiyi glanced at Su Nange but deliberately didn't give him a chance to apologize.

While eating the bird's nest-like drink, she said: "That Murong something or other came to look for me again today."

Su Nange sat down.

"What? He still hasn't given up on you?"

Xu Zhiyi stopped acting like a teacher again, instead acting spoiled in front of Su Nange, her own student.

"Nange, go quickly and tell him to stop coming. I don't want to leave here."

Su Nange: "Alright, alright, I'll go, I'll go."

"Hee hee, Student Nange is the most obedient. Teacher will praise you."

Just when Su Nange was speechless again, Tang Li came to knock on the door.

"Come in." Su Nange thought to himself, You came at just the right time.

"Boss, President Xu."

"What's up?"

"Boss, Director Qin from the Public Security Bureau is here and says he has something to discuss with you."

Su Nange stood up: "Then, Teacher, I'll be going now."

Tang Li also nodded at Xu Zhiyi and closed the door.

She muttered to herself, The boss is really good to this teacher of his.

However, this Xu Zhiyi was indeed not as simple as she looked on the surface.

Tang Li gradually discovered that the reason Xu Zhiyi was so leisurely was because there was simply nothing that could stump her.

Things that took others several hours to complete, she could basically finish in a few minutes.

No matter how complex the reports and data were, she could extract the key points with a single glance.

Even one day when she was working late, Xu Zhiyi was waiting for her sister and, feeling bored, came over to visit.

Tang Li was being driven a bit crazy by the company's reports.

But Xu Zhiyi, standing behind her, just watched for a while and then told her how to organize them and which functions to use to be faster.

So now, whenever Tang Li had any questions, she often came to find Xu Zhiyi, treating her as a free tutor.

Moreover, Tang Li also noticed that when Xu Zhiyi faced the boss versus other people, she had completely two different faces.

In front of the boss, she was simply incredibly cute and naive, just like a child. Anyone who didn't know would think Su Nange was her teacher.

But in front of others, although Xu Zhiyi wasn't that serious either, she was clearly much colder.

She didn't talk much and kept a certain distance.

Could it be that she also... to the boss?

Su Nange returned to his office, where Qin Jiazheng was already sitting there drinking tea.

Su Nange: "Director Qin, why did you come for an inspection without giving a heads-up?"

Qin Jiazheng was very polite to Su Nange: "I just happened to have business nearby today, so I thought I'd come and see you."

"Director Qin, just say what you need to say, right? You are a leader of the Municipal Bureau; you wouldn't come to my humble temple for no reason."

As expected, Qin Jiazheng couldn't hide anything from the young man in front of him.

He went straight to the point: "The Shanghai police want me to come and talk to you. Can we ask you for a favor again to resolve the matter of those two assassins?"

Su Nange probed: "What's the situation over there now? Any news on the two assassins?"

Qin Jiazheng replied: "That's the strange part. The Shanghai police say those two assassins kidnapped Lu Jinhong's wife, which is Shangguan Lingwei. But Shangguan Lingwei is clearly at home."

"And those two assassins have disappeared again."

Su Nange chuckled: "Then how did you determine that the assassins kidnapped the wife? How did the Shanghai police reach that judgment?"

Qin Jiazheng was stunned: "That's right, it does seem a bit contradictory."

Su Nange refilled Director Qin's tea: "Director Qin, those two assassins were first lurking in the Katana Building. Later, I stumbled upon them and drove them out."

"Then, they appeared again in the incident involving the assassination of Saionji Sawa. Now they have no sound again."

"You analyze it—which group do these assassins seem to belong to?"

Qin Jiazheng showed an expression of shock: "You mean these assassins were hired by Madam Shangguan?"

"Hey! Director Qin, that's what you said. I just recounted what has already happened."

Qin Jiazheng felt his brain burning up: "Then, this is going to be difficult to handle."

Su Nange: "Haha, indeed. Ask me to cooperate with the Shanghai police? Wouldn't that just mean offending the Shangguan Family and Lu Jinhong?"

"This nuclear bomb-level landmine, do you think I dare to step on it?"
