Chapter 78 - 87: Key Figures
February in Washington was blanketed in snow and ice.
Despite the bitter cold, nothing could stop Yuan Jialiu and his wife. After a year apart, they reunited in New York just before the Lantern Festival and set off on a leisurely road trip along the East Coast.
After meeting old friends in Washington, they began the drive back to New York. Though it was already February, another northern cold front had brought a heavy snowfall, and Yuan Jialiu drove carefully through the snow-covered roads.
Watching her cautious husband, Wu Jianxiong said, "So, Pierre has made quite a name for himself in physics as well?"
"Yes," Yuan replied. "When we get to New York, if we have time, we can discuss some physics topics together. He has some very novel, even groundbreaking, ideas."
Yuan then began to talk about his previous conversation with Pierre...
Some topics were quickly brought up, and the couple soon found themselves discussing Pierre’s hypotheses in the field of quantum mechanics as they drove. As scholars, the two of them quickly became engrossed in the discussion, even forgetting that they were still in the car.
"...If his hypothesis is proven, it will definitely cause a sensation throughout the academic world."
As Wu Jianxiong finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that the car had sped up at some point.
"Jialiu, the road outside is slippery. Slow down, be caref—"
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt the car suddenly spin out of control.
"Jialiu—!"
