Chapter 552 - 9.22 Something To Confess?
The seven students had an identical stupefied look on their faces, it was quite comical to see. What did Professor Zhao just say? Rather than choosing a biology student who had more relevant skills on the field, he... he chose a new student from literature major instead??
"P–Prof, are you sure?"
"He’s not very suitable... right?"
Li Zhu recovered from his shock. He looked at his teacher and Lu Yizhou back and forth with a frown on his face. Amidst the buzz of confusion, his voice sounded especially loud and clear, filled with reasonable sense. "Teacher, I beg you to reconsider. Creating an antidote is not simple, you need an assistant who will be helpful to you. Classmate Lu is from Literature Major, not to mention analyzing data, he can’t even help you with preparing the sample. Teacher, are you sure you want to choose him?"
Everyone nodded in agreement with Li Zhu.
In actuality, what Li Zhu said was not only for Zhao Bolin to hear but also for the entire Special Forces’ soldiers. They were desperate enough for the antidote to resort to threat; no doubt this matter was of grave importance to them. Now, knowing that the assistant Zhao Bolin chose was not even a newbie but a completely irrelevant student, would they only sit still and watch? No, they would definitely intervene. By then, Professor Zhao would have no choice but to choose him!
As he expected, Commander Yang’s brows furrowed deeply and even the other soldiers had an incredulous look on their faces. "Professor Zhao," the commander said with a hint of anger in his tone. "I understand that you’re unwilling to do this but this is not a matter to be trifled with! I can tolerate it if you want to pull your students in, but why would you choose someone from another major?!"
Alas, Zhao Bolin was precisely someone who never played by rules. He had a disdainful look on his gaze as he retorted, "Do I need to explain myself to you? Certainly I have my own reason for doing so." His sharp gaze shifted to Li Zhu and the latter shrunk his neck, feeling as though his scheme had been exposed to the daylight. However, Professor Zhao did not even address him. His eyes merely stopped on Li Zhu for a split second before continuing to the others. "I know you’re all unreconciled by my decision. Creating an antidote is a big deal and as a future researcher, you’re eager to involve yourself in it. I understand but... I’m sorry, my point still stands."
Zhao Bolin crossed his arms and declared haughtily to the commander, "I only have these two conditions. As long as you agree to it, then I will immediately start. Otherwise..." he shrugged nonchalantly. "Just kill me then. It’s not like I am afraid of death."
