127: Chapter 127 Is he in the Golden Triangle?

After Lin Heng finished resolving the matters in the Golden Triangle, he did not linger for too long.

He quickly left the Golden Triangle.

Meanwhile, many things were also happening within the Dragon Country.

Among them was a scientist who had obtained the data but could not figure out the machine.

At this moment...

Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Many Academicians were having a huge headache at this time.

When they published their papers before, each one was more arrogant than the last, boasting to the heavens, but now... only a few days had passed, and they had successively encountered many problems...

For a moment, the expressions on the faces of the scientists, led by Elder Jiang, gradually turned ugly.

If they could not deliver results for this matter, they naturally understood what would happen next.

Not to mention that their reputations would be completely ruined.

More importantly, the loss of one hundred billion yuan appropriated by the higher-ups was not something they could compensate for.

At this time, they all sought out Long Anyou.

"Director Long! Please help us! We are truly out of options. You know us; we are usually just a bit too outspoken and speak without thinking. You also know our brains are used for researching national weaponry..."

"When we said those things back then, we didn't mean it intentionally. Can you see if you can help us out with this matter this time?"

Soon, led by Elder Jiang, assisted by the other Academicians and many top experts among them, over a hundred people—each one an influential figure on their own—were present.

Any single person among them, if mentioned in an academic journal today, would draw considerable attention.

Yet now, these incredibly impressive figures were humbling themselves before Long Anyou.

Many of them were already elderly, in their seventies or eighties, but in front of Long Anyou, it was 'Director Long' here and 'Director Long' there.

It was far from intimate.

Even a dog outside would understand that these people were trying to curry favor with Long Anyou.

Upon hearing this, Long Anyou's mouth twitched slightly.

He recalled how these people used to be so arrogant in front of him, wishing they could blame Long Anyou for the incident where the Pretty Country withdrew their project from their hands.

In response, Long Anyou naturally snorted coldly.

"Sirs, I am merely someone who handles national intelligence security. Put nicely, I am State Security; put bluntly, I am just a garbage collector."

"It seems rather inappropriate for you all to put me in such a difficult position, doesn't it?"

"I personally still think it's best if you maintain a certain distance from me. After all, I, a garbage collector, do not conduct scientific research. You have asked the wrong person."

Long Anyou snorted coldly and said.

However, he felt a sense of gratification internally.

Let these people look down on him before; now, aren't they still forced to watch his expression closely?

Hearing this, the faces of Elder Jiang and the others became somewhat unsightly.

They all gave a bitter smile, and then Elder Jiang let out a dry laugh, licked his dry lips, and spoke:

"Hahaha... Director Long, you are joking, aren't you?"

"We are all here to apologize. Besides, where would we need you to conduct scientific research? How could we let a great figure like you personally handle such dirty and tiring work?"

"Wouldn't that lower your status?"

"We are just here this time to ask you about a person."

"Yes, yes! Director Long, you don't want our Dragon Country to lose to the Pretty Country, do you?"

Elder Jiang and the others chuckled, showing a smile, and chimed in one after another.

Heh...

Asking about a person?

Didn't they say this thing was just stolen from somewhere by someone else back then?

Now that they couldn't figure it out themselves, they immediately thought of Lin Heng?

Where is there such a thing as an easy deal?

Besides...

He might not even be able to contact Lin Heng now. Did they really expect to find Lin Heng?

Was it possible!

In response, Long Anyou stood with his arms crossed, feigning ignorance.

Seeing this, the expressions of Elder Jiang and the others quickly changed.

The smiles on their faces gradually retracted.

Elder Jiang had the most volatile temper.

His expression immediately underwent a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree transformation.

Elder Jiang stomped his foot and snorted coldly:

"Long Anyou! We called you Director Long out of kindness, and you really think you're someone important, don't you? If it weren't for the creator of the blueprints, we wouldn't be willing to come and beg you!"

"Exactly! Long Anyou, you know what you do. If you prevent us from continuing the experiment, who do you think the Chief will deal with first?"

"Exactly, exactly! Long Anyou, you guy, don't mistake kindness for weakness!"

The others also chimed in one after another.

Each of their expressions changed faster than turning a page of a book.

Long Anyou had long known the true colors of these people.

He chuckled and casually spread his hands.

"I'm truly sorry... It's not that I don't want to tell you the truth, but the truth is, even we in the Seventy-Ninth do not know where Lin Heng is right now. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people in our Longan Bureau."

This...

Elder Jiang and the others felt as if they had punched cotton with all their might.

Many among them exchanged glances, all inquiring about the truth of the matter.

But soon, Elder Jiang and the others realized they had definitely underestimated the situation; perhaps that person really wasn't around.

"Lin Heng is just a University Student. He basically spends his time at school. What's so hard about finding him?"

"Long Anyou, are you doing this on purpose?"

"Hmm!?"

Soon, having exhausted all options, Elder Jiang and the others could only put the pressure back onto Long Anyou.

In terms of finding people, they were naturally inferior to Long Anyou.

"Exactly! Long Anyou, do you know how much money was invested this time? Sixty billion! Do you understand that concept?"

"And that's just the initial investment, not including the costs for the subsequent experimental phases!"

"Basically, these sixty billion were for the preliminary work, less than one-fifth of the total!"

"If this project fails, are you going to bear these losses?"

The others also spoke with unfriendly expressions.

At this moment, Long Anyou let out a wry smile.

He smiled helplessly and continued, "Gentlemen, I'm afraid you have truly misunderstood. I absolutely do not know where Lin Heng is right now. If I knew, I would definitely notify you in advance."

"The message received earlier suggested he was in the Golden Triangle. According to the previous information, he should be returning soon."

"The Golden Triangle?"

Just as Elder Jiang and the others were about to retort, they immediately froze upon hearing this.
