Chapter 245
Obtaining absolutely nothing from Zhang Lisheng, who shook his head in ignorance as an answer to all his questions, Harvey put away his pen and paper with a blank expression . "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr . Zhang, although you basically have said nothing . "
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant . I've said before just now that I may not be able to answer you about privacy issues . " Zhang Lisheng spread out his hand and smiled, before shifting his gaze to the hospital bed .
As he looked at Effiny who was in a coma but whose face remained ruddy and shiny, he said to Steven in gratification, "Professor, Professor Effiny's condition is much better than I thought . I first thought that she would be staying in the ICU…"
"Oh Lisheng, if you're old enough, you'd know that the patients lying on ordinary beds are not necessarily better than patients lying in the ICU . There's no danger to life but you may have to live the rest of your life without any senses or consciousness . Just how better do you think it is from a direct death, child?"
"There's an old saying in China, 'a living dog is better than a dead lion' . As long as one is still alive, there'll still be that strand of hope of a miracle and besides, the doctor has not even made any diagnosis on Professor Effiny yet . " Zhang Lisheng pondered for a moment before walking towards his supervisor, who was sitting on the plastic chair next to the sickbed with his eyes filled with affection and sadness as he watched his sister, consoling him .
"Thank you, child," Steven was silent for a moment before replying . "Go and have fun with your girlfriend . The hospital is not a place where a young person like you should stay . Just let me stay alone with Effiny . "
"Alright . I won't bother you then, Professor . If you need any help, feel free to contact me . " Zhang Lisheng sighed and turned to look at Harvey . "Lieutenant, can I leave?"
"Of course, Mr . Zhang, you can leave at any time . " The NCIS agent personally opened the door for Zhang Lisheng . "Lastly, let me ask you a question that doesn't infringe your privacy . Why do you think Mr . Justin, who is very promising and young, would betray his supervisor and make such an irrational criminal offense?"
"To be honest, Lieutenant, Justin was the first person to discover that mysterious Gold Core . H-However, out of various considerations, Professor Effiny excluded him from future experiments . You've been exposed to a lot of criminals so I'm sure you should know that sometimes when people feel that they've been wronged and treated unfairly, to the point where they become irrational, they would often carry out some terrible acts . "
"It was Justin who discovered the target object of those mobs? Oh, I didn't know that there's such an inside story…" Harvey said with astonishment .
"It's not quite an inside story . Although it's Justin who discovered the experimental material, he made that discovery using the instruments in the laboratory on the property of the US government when he was ordered to assist other scientists . For this reason, he doesn't have the ownership and the exclusive research right of that material . As the leader of the experiment, it's entirely reasonable in the academic world for Effiny to exclude him from the experiment due to his lack of ability . Therefore, he's completely mad for hating Effiny and injuring his own supervisor . " Upon hearing the NCIS agent's word, Steven suddenly chimed in without turning his head .
"Professor Steven is right . According to academic practice, it's completely reasonable for Justin to be excluded out of the experiment . However, just like I said, this person is very, very extreme . He's purely a madman who has lost his mind so for this reason, he carried an irrational and criminal offense . " Zhang Lisheng quickly echoed his supervisor's words and nodded solemnly at Harvey before walking out of the ward .
In the hospital corridor where the smell was a little unbearable, he let out a sigh of relief and took out his phone . Just as he was about to call Tina, he was suddenly blocked by a young white man who had a big nose and his thick-browed companion who shared the same color of skin and age but with a reluctant face .
"Is there anything I can help you with, misters?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment before asking with a frown .
When they heard his fluent New York accent, the thick-browed young man who had a reluctant expression on immediately muttered in Mandarin, "See! How can such a standard and fluent English that sounds exactly like those US series come out of a Chinese's mouth? Look at that face! Just look at his temperament and you can tell that he's 100% a foreigner! If he's a Chinese just because his hair is black and his skin is yellow, then don't you think the number of Chinese people in the US would be too many already? C'mon! Let's go! Stop blocking his way! Otherwise, we'll have to transform again and my body is unable to bear it okay?!"
"Yeah, his accent doesn't sound like a Chinese at all . Oh, I know! This must be an overseas inheritance of our witchcraft!" That big-nosed young man who blocked Zhang Lisheng's path had his eyes light up right away . With pleasant surprise, he used heavily accented English and stuttered using words that failed to convey his meaning . "Hello, good afternoon . Y-Yes . Y-You are… what? Somebody different, right? Er… wizard, wizard's sacrifice and death… and medical skills…"
"Haha…" Zhang Lisheng looked at these two white young men, whose actions were weird but unscrupulous at the same time as their eyes widened in a dumbstruck manner, with a cold gaze but with a smile, before changing into Mandarin and said, "Elder brothers, you two obviously have a Caucasian face but you two actually practice witchcraft and speak English like that? How ludicrous!"
"Y-You're really a Chinese person!" The two guys in front shouted at the same time in astonishment .
