Chapter 215 Small gifts
Ahem, get back to the topic.
The gains of military ranks are just one of them. In addition, an important thing has happened this week, a big thing that is now in a hot spot in New York.
"Li Stein, chairman of Stan Group, appealed to court to apply for the acquittal of Dr. Curt Connors, the former chief scientist of the Osborne Cross-Species Genetics Laboratory."
"Listen complained for Curt Conners, invited him to join the Stan Group and announced a series of follow-up plans. After Curt Conners joins, the self-healing serum may be initially popularized.
"Shock: The key to popularizing self-healing serum is its original developer..."
This is the headlines published by various media in the past few days.
The title and content are very mixed, but in fact, Li Si started to overturn the verdict and build momentum for Curt Connors.
The reason is also very sufficient. The transformation of Curt Conners into a lizard monster was just an experimental accident. It was an involuntary act of forced injection of Osborne to inject serum without completing it, and it did not cause major harm or casualties.
In fact, it is logical that Curt Connors should have been released long ago.
When Li Si planned to acquire Osborne, he had already disclosed the whole story of the Curt Conners mutation, and this matter was also being discussed on the Internet.
Curt Conners' plan to turn the entire New York people into lizard men has been stopped by Lis in advance. He is now a victim. In addition, the trans-era drug released by Stan Group was also derived from his research. Therefore, based on the people's senses, Curt Conners is not a very evil criminal now.
Mental patients can even get rid of their sins, not to mention that they are an outstanding scientist who is forced to inject serum without completing involuntary conditions and suffers mental impact and physical mutation. The reason why they are not released is simply that some people have taken a fancy to the research results of Curt Conners' ability to transform into a lizard man.
Now that Li Si is using the media to create momentum, and General Ross is standing behind the scenes and spending money crazy to invite a large number of well-known lawyers, the result is naturally self-evident.
Just today, Curt Connors was released in court without any surprise.
"Doctor, how do you feel?"
Driven by Bumblebee, waiting at the door of the court, Li Si, who saw Curt Conners getting in the car, turned his head and asked with a smile.
"Li, thank you."
Curt Connors is still the image of a blonde middle-aged man, with a haggard face but a gentle smile.
"You don't blame me for sending you to prison before."
Li Si also smiled, and then he didn't let Bumblebee control it, and manually ignited the car.
"I'm just thanking you for sending me to jail, otherwise I don't know how many mistakes I'll make."
Curt Connors spoke humorously and smiled warmly: "Of course, thank you for picking me up."
"Then I will make up for my merits and demerits."
Li Si smiled and patted the steering wheel and said, "How is it, do you want to go home first or where do you go?"
"Go to Os... go to your group, I think you should have something to tell me."
Curt Connors picked up a newspaper next to the seat and lit it.
"All right."
Li Si did not comment and focused on driving, manually controlling the Hornet towards Stan Building.
Soon, Bumblebee stopped at the door of Stan Group.
During working hours, the Stan Group was crowded with people. After seeing Lis and Curt Connors, they greeted him or smiled. After responding one by one along the way, Lis led Curt Connors to the laboratory on the top floor.
"Where is Dr. Otto, Max?"
Li Si asked out a little unexpectedly.
Only Max and a group of engineering robots transferred not long ago were seen in the laboratory, and no Otto Gunther was seen.
You should know that these two people are addicted to research now and are always in the top laboratory.
Max first pointed to the head of Curt Conners beside Lis, and then replied: "Dr. Sden has woken up, and Dr. Otto is chatting with Dr. Sden in the lounge."
"oh?"
Li Si said, today it seems like a double happiness is coming.
However, he did not rush to find Samuel Sden, but looked at Curt Connors who was looking at Max in novel ways, and then introduced to the two: "This is Max, now the head of the power laboratory, Dr. Curt Connors from the former interspecies genetics department."
Although they were working in Osborne, they had no intersection before, so this was the first time Max and Curt Connors met. After Lis introduced each other, they smiled and introduced themselves.
"Dr. Conners, come with me, I have prepared you a little gift to celebrate your regaining freedom."
After the two got to know each other, Li Si smiled and led Curt Connors to a separate room in his personal laboratory, which was the studio where he usually conducted his own experiments.
"Li, the little gift is not in line with your current value."
Curt Connors followed Lis in, quipped with a faint smile while looking at the equipment he was very familiar with in the studio.
"I don't have any value. I owe a lot of debts to acquire Osborne. Every day I wake up, I owed tens of thousands of employees a day's salary."
Li Si shrugged, reached out and took a portable syringe filled with light green liquid from an instrument and handed it over, smiling: "And, gifts are not value, practical gifts are the best, aren't they?"
"Self-healing serum?"
Curt Connors naturally recognized what was contained in the portable syringe at a glance. After all, he has been studying self-healing serum for most of his life.
After taking the serum, he said with a complex look of surprise and emotion: "I didn't expect you to have it done. Although I heard someone mention it before,... well, I don't know how to describe my current mood."
"This is all done based on your research. To put it in a cliché, I am standing on the shoulders of great men."
Li Si didn't shy away, but just smiled modestly.
He was not worried that the self-healing serum would make Curt Conners feel aggrieved. After all, no matter from any aspect, the self-healing serum does not belong to Curt Conners.
Not to mention that the original self-healing serum was a semi-finished product with serious side effects, it was impossible to register a technical patent. Even if there was a patent, it belonged to Osborne. Now it belonged to the Stan Group, which acquired Osborne.
