Chapter 2441: Time to be vigilant
Later, the dinner ended.
Senior Yas arranged several cars to send the male students away first.
After that, only Anya and Marcy were left.
Senior Ya Si turned around and looked at them. His tone was gentle but concerned. "It's so late. It's not safe for you two girls to go back alone. I'll send you off myself. I'll feel more at ease."
Upon hearing this, Anya immediately put on a proper smile and gently waved her hand to decline, "Thank you for your trouble, senior. No need to bother. I have already contacted the driver at home, he should be here soon.
You should send Shi Yang back home!"
She deliberately created opportunities for the two of them to be alone.
As Anya finished her words, Marcy's calm voice followed, with her usual sense of alienation, "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I have someone to pick me up."
Her refusal was straightforward and without any unnecessary explanation.
The smile on Anya's face froze for a moment, then turned into a clear sneer, "Oh? Really? So there's a driver who comes to pick up Junior Sister Shi Yang from her house?"
Marcy heard the sarcasm in the other person's words, but ignored it and said calmly to Senior Yas, "It's true."
Upon hearing this, Senior Ya Si raised a gentle smile, his eyes filled with concern as he asked, "Are you worried about troubling me? If so, there's really no need to worry.
I just happened to be going back to school to pick up some information, so it was just on my way."
Marcy was about to say something in her defense.
At this moment, a low engine sound was heard.
A black Rolls-Royce slowly approached, its headlights drawing a dazzling arc of light in the twilight, and stopped steadily.
Immediately afterwards, the rear door opened slightly, and a figure stepped out swiftly.
The person who came called out in a low voice, "Shi Yang."
Marcy looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person coming was Zhou Si.
He was wearing a white shirt, paired with straight black trousers, and a pair of frameless glasses on his nose. The deep eyes behind the lenses sparkled in the night.
The dim light from the street lamps shone on him, outlining his tall figure. His temperament was noble and gentle, as if every detail had been carefully carved.
Standing there, one can't help but hold his breath.
Anya also stared at it, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her cheeks felt slightly hot, as if she was captivated by this sudden scene.
Senior Yas raised his eyebrows and asked Marcy with a smile, "Is he the one who's coming to pick you up?"
Marcy nodded and responded in a low voice: "Well, I have an appointment with him. He will give me a ride on the way, so I won't bother you. I'll be leaving first. Goodbye."
After saying that, she waved and said goodbye.
Then, he walked towards Zhou Si.
Zhou Si stood where he was, his eyes coldly sweeping over Senior Yas and Anya who were not far away.
He only paused for a moment before looking away, as if the two people were unimportant.
He turned his gaze to Marcy and asked gently, "Have you been waiting long?"
Marcy shook her head and smiled, "It wasn't long. You came just in time."
Zhou Si rubbed her head gently and lovingly, and whispered, "Well, get in the car!"
Without hesitation, Marcy nodded obediently, opened the car door and got in.
Zhou Si stayed by her side the entire time, holding onto the car door frame with one hand and resting his other hand lightly on her shoulder.
That meticulous and gentle attitude made Anya, who was standing by, furious.
She gripped the strap of her bag so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and she almost tore the thin strap apart.
Senior Yas saw this and vaguely sensed something.
He couldn't help but say helplessly: "Sister Anya, do you really not need me to send you off?"
Anya gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and suppressed the resentment in her heart.
She forced a smile, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhou Si's car, and the bitterness in her heart almost overflowed.
"Then...I'll trouble you, Senior."
After Ma Xi got in the car, Zhou Si followed closely behind.
Zhou Si turned his head and asked, "Is your senior still inviting you to their research institute?"
Marcy adjusted her sitting position, shook her head and said, "No, I haven't mentioned it in the past two days, but the teacher may not be able to go to school for a while.
So he will help manage the lab and handle some of the day-to-day affairs.”
Zhou Si was very surprised when he heard this and asked, "Aren't lab projects usually kept secret from the public? Professor Zhang let someone in so easily? Isn't he afraid that it might be leaked?"
Marcy pursed her lips, she didn't know the details.
She only responded speculatively, saying, "The senior's research institute may have some cooperation with the teacher.
In addition, the senior is the teacher's most proud student.
Therefore, there are many R&D steps, and they will also communicate and discuss.
Of course, important secrets, such as core technologies or patent details, will be strictly concealed and will not be disclosed casually."
After listening to this, Zhou Si nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
I don’t know why, but when I heard that person might go to Shi Yang’s laboratory every day, I felt a little concerned.
Later, after he sent Shi Yang back to school, he went back.
On the way, he instructed the assistant in the front row, "Go investigate this senior Yas and give me the information as soon as possible."
The assistant quickly responded: "Okay."
The assistant was always efficient and effective. Almost the next day, a detailed investigation report was delivered to Zhou Si.
Zhou Si took the information and began to read it page by page.
The report shows that Yas's background information is quite clean.
He comes from a medical family, his parents are both famous surgeons, and when he was in school, his grades were always among the best.
When I was in my third year of college, I was spotted by my current research institute 'MOG'.
After graduation, he joined MOG seamlessly and worked directly with Professor Yuri's team.
Professor Yuri is a well-known research maniac with extraordinary achievements, but not much is known about him.
Zhou Si just glanced over and continued to read Yas's message.
The report describes Yas's personality in detail: he is gentle and polite in dealing with others, has an excellent reputation among colleagues and classmates, and has good interpersonal relationships.
He is also handsome, with almost no flaws, perfect and impeccable.
Zhou Si read it over and over again, but didn't see any problems.
But when Shi Yang comes into contact with such a person, he should indeed be wary.
Zhou Si put the documents away and put them in the drawer of his desk.
Then he turned on his computer and devoted himself to his desk work.
……
As for Marcy, she went to the laboratory the next day and indeed met Senior Yas.
When others see her, they will smile and nod to greet her.
I talked to her about things related to the experiment, but I didn't mention inviting her again.
This suited Marcie just fine.
The days passed peacefully until Friday night.
Marcy finished all her work, packed up her tools and prepared to go back.
Just as she reached the door, she was suddenly stopped by Senior Yas who came hurriedly behind her.
