Chapter 1382: Always Want to Bring Tuanzi Over

"If you agree, I’ll take you up the mountain to soak in the hot springs."

Hearing this, Su Li suddenly fell silent. Running away wouldn’t solve the problem; dragging it out would only make it worse. She nodded with some difficulty.

The atmosphere between the two grew increasingly strange. Just then, a servant came down from upstairs holding a vibrating phone and said to Su Li, "Miss Su Li, someone’s calling your phone that you left in the bedroom."

Feng Huaijin took it naturally, a meaningful smile tugging at his lips. "Professor Tang Lide?"

At the sound of that, cold sweat broke out on Su Li’s forehead again.

Why was Professor Tang calling her at a time like this?

Begging Feng Huaijin to let her go up the mountain to recuperate was already dancing on his bottom line. Now Professor Tang’s call was basically telling Feng Huaijin that she hadn’t been obedient these days and had even gone to the Research Institute.

Her blindness was directly linked to crossing time and space to bring Tuanzi over, so Feng Huaijin had strictly forbidden her from continuing that research. With this call, she’d practically confessed without being interrogated.

Standing beside her, Feng Huaijin let out a small laugh and pressed the speakerphone.

On the other end came the wildly excited voice of the old Professor Tang. Just listening, one would think he’d won five million in the lottery—he was that worked up.

"Miss Su Li, you really are my muse, my guiding stone! I’ve been studying time-space for over ten years, and this is the first time— the first time I’ve used an instrument to detect a gap in time-space! My theory was right!"

The old man in his white lab coat stood in the lab with bloodshot eyes, his white hair whipping in the air from how hard he was shaking his head, so excited he almost started jumping up and down.

Everyone had thought this was an empty, worthless hypothesis, and he’d spent more than a decade finally catching it!

Feng Huaijin looked at Su Li with a half-smile and said into the phone, "Is that so? Then let me congratulate you in advance, Professor Tang Lide."

Su Li’s scalp was tingling as she listened. This... this was...

Tang Lide wasn’t at all surprised that the phone’s owner sounded like a man. He said excitedly, "Miss Su Li is the great hero behind this earth-shattering discovery. I’ll put your name in the paper. By the way, Miss Su Li, do you have time to come to the Research Institute and discuss it with me again?"

After just one conversation with Su Li he’d made such a huge breakthrough; who knew what further inspiration he might find in her?

Su Li let out a string of dry laughs.

Smiling, Feng Huaijin asked back, "Why aren’t you answering Professor Tang?"

At that, Su Li immediately nodded and agreed, "Sure, Professor Tang, I’ll head over in a bit."

"That’s wonderful! I’ll wait for you at the Research Institute in Jiangzhou Prefecture." He hung up on his end.

A vein throbbed sharply at Feng Huaijin’s temple as he stared expressionlessly at Su Li.

Su Li braced herself and explained, "I’ve invested in the Research Institute, especially this project—we’ve put nearly ten billion into it. I have to see at least a little hope of results, right? I mean, the money’s already spent."

Feng Huaijin shot her a glance and said in a flat tone, "Su Li, I know exactly what you’re thinking. As long as Tuanzi is doing well in that world, that’s enough. He doesn’t necessarily have to be by our side."

Su Li blurted out, "You don’t know what kind of person his guardian Feng Mo is? He took part in the crime that killed your parents and mine. Even if he wasn’t the killer, he was an accomplice! How could he possibly let my son go?"

"Living under the same roof as the enemy who killed his parents—won’t that give Tuanzi psychological problems?"

Feng Huaijin frowned and said nothing.

With the current level of technology, they probably wouldn’t develop that kind of machine even by the time they were old and dead.
