Chapter 1407: Protecting Wife and Daughter

So, in order to protect my wife and daughter, I can only deny it.

Tang Lide, how could he not notice Feng Huaijin’s concerns? He immediately said, "I understand Mr. Feng’s concerns. I, the old man, am only interested in scientific research. The content of the research project will not be disclosed to anyone."

Seeing Feng Huaijin’s brows furrowing deeper, Tang Lide couldn’t hold back. He stared at Feng Yi and hurriedly said, "Little girl, are you the little girl who appeared more than a decade ago? You even told me the next lottery numbers, and I won a million-dollar jackpot to solve an urgent need."

It was because of that incident that he became determined to study this project.

Su Li was shocked to the heart, unexpected that the little girl Tang Lide encountered years ago might be Feng Yi in her childhood.

Now, even if they deny it, it’s useless.

Feng Yi thought for a moment and said, "I did come here when I was a child."

Ning Yan sat quietly on the sofa the whole time, so silently that his presence was nearly overlooked. His eyelid twitched slightly.

Uncle Ning...

Reflecting on Feng Yi’s affectionate attitude towards him, a rare confusion appeared in his eyes.

He lived alone in this cold world, but could he have the right to have family and friends in the future? Friends to dine with?

Ning Yan had no reaction, but Tang Lide already jumped up from the sofa, cheering in joy!

"Indeed it is true, my cosmic hypothesis is completely accurate! There really are temporal gaps in this universe, and as long as we can capture these gaps, traversing them allows us to reach any achievable timeframe!" Receiving such a definite answer, the elderly Professor Tang completely immersed in his own madness.

Afterward, the old man grabbed Feng Yi, referring to his notebook, productively asking question after question.

Su Li and Feng Huaijin listened by the side, fortunately the questions were only about the project, none regarding what the future would be like.

Su Li felt a vague unease, afraid that Feng Yi might disclose too much and put everyone at risk.

By her ear came Feng Huaijin’s lowered voice, comforting her by saying, "I’ll arrange bodyguards to accompany you later, don’t worry and don’t overthink."

"Little Feng Yi, this is the access pass to the Jiangzhou Prefecture research institute. You must come often!" Half an hour later, Tang Lide, the old professor, said with both satisfaction and some reluctance.

It’s time to go back.

Feng Huaijin already looked displeased, staying any longer might be detrimental. Anyway, time is long, and there will be future opportunities.

Feng Yi seemed to hit it off with the old professor Tang Lide, still offering to see him off.

Feng Yi watched as the old Professor Tang Lide gleefully appeared like a child, almost dancing with joy, feeling a pang of sigh within.

She remembered that this old professor would pass away in a year or two, it’s said that even at the end, he still worried about this unfinished research project.

"Does Professor Tang hope to develop a machine capable of traveling through time and space? Can it really succeed?" Feng Yi was thinking about Professor Tang Lide’s life when suddenly a clear cold voice came from beside her.

It was Ning Yan.

Feng Yi pondered that even eighteen years later in her time, such a machine still hasn’t been developed, however people must have hope to continuously move forward.

Feng Yi tilted her head, smiled, and said, "Yes, such a machine has been developed in the future."

Ning Yan glanced at her, lifted his leg, and followed Professor Tang Lide to leave.

Su Li stood by the floor-to-ceiling window; she couldn’t see Professor Tang and the others leave, but could hear Feng Huaijin’s cold laughter beside her.
