After understanding what happened, Xu Zhen said apologetically: "I can guarantee that Professor Dawson's loyalty to the empire is not a problem. He cannot be a spy for the Alliance. He is just too eager for quick success and quick gains in research."
"I apologize to you on behalf of the institute for any offense I have caused to you!"
Wang Chen's accusation against Dawson was so serious that even Xu Zhen could not bear it.
The Holy Light Research Institute is one of the highest scientific research institutions in the empire, and most of the projects involved are in the military field. Once the secrets are leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Every staff member in the institute, including experts, professors and researchers, has been screened and tested for loyalty at all levels, and is under strict monitoring.
Xu Zhen has known Professor Dawson for decades and knows that although the latter's character is not very good, his personal abilities are fine and he has no reason to betray the empire.
Therefore, although she was very disgusted with the other party's actions, she also tried her best to protect her colleagues.
After all, there is no such thing as a 100% pure scientist!
"Dean Xu, I think I need a reasonable explanation."
Regarding Xu Zhen's euphemistic defense, Wang Chen said in a deep voice: "I very much respect the authority of the Holy Light Research Institute and its contribution to the empire, but the research institute also needs to respect my personality and life!"
"Regardless of whether Professor Dawson is an Alliance spy or not, what he has done seriously threatens my safety, so I no longer trust the Holy Light Institute and will not continue to cooperate with the experimental work."
Xu Zhen was speechless. She turned around and glared at the pale Dawson with angry eyes - Look at what you did!
Dawson instinctively wanted to quibble, but as a result, it was like a huge rag was stuffed in his throat and he couldn't speak at all.
Wang Chen smiled coldly: "It seems that Professor Dawson has nothing to say, so let's leave it at that."
"sorry."
Xu Zhen apologized again: "I'll be here first today, and I'll ask Captain Shia to take you back to rest."
After a pause, the vice president of the Holy Light Research Institute said firmly: "I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!"
"I'll wait and see."
Wang Chen nodded and left the laboratory.
His figure had just disappeared from the door, and Professor Dawson slumped to the ground like an old dog whose backbone had been removed, panting heavily, and bead-sized beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
No one knows how much pressure he was under just now, and he was really suffocating!
But even though Professor Dawson looked extremely embarrassed and pitiful at this time, Xu Zhen didn't have the slightest sympathy: "Dawson, I want to hear your explanation now."
"What I need to know is the truth. Please don't try to deceive me by insulting my IQ."
"If you do this, the consequences will definitely be more serious than you think!"
Professor Dawson had countless excuses in his mind, including throwing the blame on Wang Chen, but if he could use these excuses to fool Xu Zhen, he would definitely be humiliating himself.
The professor at the institute was squeaking, but he didn't give a complete explanation.
Xu Zhen still didn't understand that there was something really wrong in the other person's heart. She waved her hands in great disappointment: "Forget it, you don't need to explain. Let the Security Bureau investigate this matter."
"don't want!"
Dawson suddenly panicked and shouted quickly: "It's Xu..."
boom!
Before the professor could finish speaking, a powerful fist struck his temple fiercely and accurately.
The person who took action was surprisingly an A-level warrior!
Professor Dawson is just an ordinary person. He could not withstand such a fierce attack. He only heard a "click", his head suddenly tilted, and his neck was broken on the spot.
The institute's security guards were all unprepared, but they raised their guns as quickly as possible and aimed at the A-class warrior who took action.
Xu Zhen took a step back and her face became extremely ugly.
The man who killed Professor Dawson
The A-level combatants are senior security personnel of the institute and were specially assigned to Professor Dawson to help with this experimental mission.
Who would have thought that the other party would actually kill someone and silence them at the most critical moment!
Faced with the black muzzle of the gun, this A-level warrior did not make any move of resistance. Instead, he showed a weird smile, and black blood oozed from his mouth, eyes, ears and nose at the same time.
He actually committed suicide.
At this moment, everyone was shocked. The guards around Xu Zhen pointed their guns at another senior security guard.
The opponent is also an A-level warrior.
The man raised his hands and said with a wry smile: "I surrender, I don't know anything, I just obey orders."
"Catch him first."
Xu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Leave it to the Security Bureau for investigation."
This matter was far beyond what she could handle, and the water was deep enough to drown thousands of people!
Xu Zhen suddenly felt strong regret.
If she had known this, she should not have invited Wang Chen to come to the institute to conduct experiments and cause such a huge disturbance.
As the protagonist of the entire incident, Wang Chen returned to his residence accompanied by Captain Xia.
In the next few days, Wang Chen stayed at home waiting for the outcome of the matter and his follow-up arrangements.
What surprised Wang Chen was that no one came to ask him for five days in a row, as if he had been forgotten.
In other words, Captain Shia would come over on time every day to say hello as a routine.
Wang Chen didn't know how much the incident against him in the institute's laboratory had caused a shock to the upper echelons of the empire, especially the fact that Professor Dawson was murdered and silenced. Even His Majesty the Emperor knew about it.
The Imperial Security Bureau therefore launched a comprehensive investigation. The reason why no one came to him for the time being is actually very complicated.
It wasn't until the morning of the sixth day that Wang Chen met Gu Yanchang, the chief executive of the Imperial Security Bureau, again in his dormitory.
The security bureau chief had a gloomy look on his face. As soon as they met, he handed Wang Chen a confidential document: "Major Wang Chen, these are the preliminary results of the investigation into Professor Dawson's incident. See if you have anything to add.
of?"
Wang Chen took it and looked at it again, a little surprised: "Dawson is dead?"
Gu Yanchang nodded silently.
Just yesterday, as the chief executive of the Imperial Security Bureau, he was called over by His Majesty the Emperor to reprimand him face to face.
Although the Holy Light Emperor did not punish him, Gu Yanchang knew very well that the position under his butt was already shaky and there was a possibility of being whipped out at any time!
To him, this was simply an unforeseen disaster.
"I see."
Wang Chen nodded: "I don't have anything to add."
In fact, the results of this investigation can be summarized in just a few sentences. Professor Dawson violated the regulations of the institute on his own initiative and was killed by a senior security officer who lost control of his sanity. The latter also committed suicide in fear of crime.
Such a result would only fool children, and no one with any intelligence would believe it is so simple.
But the attitude of the empire's top brass in reducing major matters to trivial matters is extremely obvious.
Wang Chen had nothing to say.
Obviously, if you want to catch the real behind-the-scenes commander, you can only rely on his own strength!
Wang Chen was not in a hurry and had no intention of confronting the empire's rulers.
