Scientists who revitalized the country(1): Traitor
After waking up, what he saw was a rather fashionable coffee shop.
Si Qi was sitting opposite a person, who was holding a cup of coffee and talking.
“Si Qi, you have been in country E for two years, and you should be aware of the huge gap between China and country E. There is no future if you go back. Only here can we conduct more in-depth research.”
Si Qi lowered his eyes and looked at the coffee in his hand, his long and thick eyelashes covering the thoughts in his eyes.
The person opposite didn’t care about his silence and continued to persuade: “As exchange students, we will be sent back to China as soon as the two years are up. But what will we get when we go back? Over there, even a cup of coffee is considered a luxury! But look at Country E, you can get such mellow coffee in any cafe on the roadside!”
The young man was intoxicated as he smelled the empty coffee cup in front of him, he then stretched out his hand and called the waiter in a foreign language, asking her to refill his cup.
The waiter glanced at the two young men with black hair and brown eyes, raised his chin, and said in a disdainful tone: “I’m very busy, you can go to the front desk and order by yourself.”
The young man apologized quickly and expressed his embarrassment. By the time he got up and left for the front desk, Si Qi had almost sorted out the memories in this body.
Unlike the foreign-loving guy in front of him, the owner of this body was a genius who concentrated on academics and had real abilities.
Two years ago, he was sent here with high hopes from his teachers, who expected him to learn enough knowledge and return after completing his studies to inject fresh blood into the motherland.
Within two years, the original owner stayed up all night and was immersed in study, frantically absorbing the surrounding knowledge like a shriveled sponge.
Until today, two years later, the original owner was about to return to China with his classmates.
His heart was filled with a fascination with academics and he wanted to continue learning. At this moment, his classmate from China suddenly found him and invited him to stay in country E. They told him in a persuasive way that this place had the most advanced, perfect and excellent knowledge and technology in the world. Only here could the original owner’s talents be effectively brought into play, and only here could he continue to have access to those high-end fields that could only be accessed here.
But if the original owner returned to China, everything would be different. Without the good environment where geniuses gather, and the precision equipment that could be used at will, if he wanted to find someone to ask more profound questions, he may not be able to get the answer.
Every word of the young man accurately hit the most irresistible part of the original owner’s heart.
The young man said: “You are still so young, it is a good time for in-depth study. Why are you so anxious to serve the motherland? You can stay for now and go back after you have learned enough things.”
This sentence was like a devil’s whisper, lingering in the original owner’s mind.
After returning home that day, the original owner lay in bed tossing and turning all night without falling asleep. He kept weighing what he could do if he went back, and what he could do if he stayed here and gained more knowledge. In the end, only one of the dozen exchange students chose to return to China, but it was not the original owner.
Standing in the farewell queue at the airport, the original owner saw the unconcealable pain and unwillingness in the eyes of the teachers who had crossed the ocean to take the students home. He lowered his head with a guilty conscience. He was really embarrassed to face the gazes of the teachers.
What made the original owner even more uncomfortable was that the teachers did not condemn them, but said to them in a regretful tone: “take care of yourself abroad, and the motherland welcomes you back at any time.”
This tolerant and unwilling attitude made the original owner feel unspeakable suffering.
He knew the huge gap between his motherland and Country E, so in the next few years, he gritted his teeth and conducted research in the institute. He only hoped to learn more here, then one day, after studying, he could return to his country and take everything back with him.
A few years, it would only take a few years. The more he learnt here, the better for his country.
Unlike him, who just wanted to immerse himself in work, the classmate who persuaded him to stay was long-sleeved and good at dancing1, and unknowingly became the leader of his research group, organizing a group of researchers to focus on global GPS positioning and digital communication.
A few years later, the original owner had just turned twenty. He was worthy of his reputation as a genius, and he quickly took the lead in completing this research, which was enough to disdain the entire field, despite being squeezed out by his colleagues around him. Qian Lu—that classmate—submitted this research in the name of the group, which soon caused a huge shock around the world.
Country E once again became famous internationally because of this research. Many countries purchased the right to use this system from them. The patent made Country E a lot of money, and its status as a great power was further certified.
The original owner received a bonus of one million yuan from country E as a reward, and was shared equally with the group of foreign colleagues around him.
“Why are you so depressed and unhappy after taking the money?” Qian Lu smiled and patted the original owner on the shoulder, “Look at you, you don’t have to worry about food and clothing here, and when it gets cold or hot you don’t have to worry about air conditioning, you don’t need to worry about anything. You just need to concentrate on your work. What else are you dissatisfied with? I understand. Do you think the money is too little? Let’s do this, as long as you work hard,next time I will let you get double the bonus!”
The original owner looked at Qian Lu’s spring-like smile and said in a stiff tone: “I’m not you. I don’t like to eat bread and I don’t like to spend Country E´s money. I just heard that China spends 200 million a year to rent the GPS positioning system. It is obviously something I have researched, but my country has to pay for it.”
Qian Lu heard the dissatisfaction in the original owner’s tone, and his smile gradually faded. He glanced at the young man with a smile, and said meaningfully: “Is it too late for you to say this now? Don’t forget that you signed the Confidentiality agreement, this is technology belonging to country E. You cannot bring this technology back to China, otherwise the law will make you understand what it means to seek death.”
These words were like a dagger that pierced into the heart of the original owner, causing him to bleed profusely.
The house leaked and it rained all night2. Not long after China purchased Country E’s GPS positioning system, an extremely serious earthquake broke out in the country. There were many casualties and the hell-like scene was too horrific to watch.
The news spread to country E, and the original owner, who was always paying attention to the situation in his homeland, soon heard about it. He was worried and couldn’t do much to help. He could only thank himself for writing the GPS program, which would definitely save many people at critical moments!
But at this time, a call came to the research institute, informing all researchers that they were going to shut down China’s positioning system for maintenance.
The moment he heard the news, the original owner’s whole body went cold. He stared at the group of colleagues around him in disbelief, and shouted hoarsely: “No! No! There has just been an earthquake in my country, and we need a positioning system to send a rescue! You are adding insult to injury! Stop it!
He rushed to the computer to stop the group. A fist was swung hard at his head, and he was mercilessly beaten to the ground by the tall colleague next to him.
“You are not qualified to make decisions without authorization!” The colleague stepped on the original owner who was trying to get up. “This is not your thing!”
“This is a program I wrote! I wrote it with my own hands!!” The original owner, who was dizzy after being beaten, tried to get up and argued loudly: “And I didn’t infringe on your interests. My country spent money to buy this program. This technology! An earthquake has just occurred in China. Without GPS positioning, the rescue work will be——”
“What does this have to do with me? All I know is that this is the property of our country, and we have the right to overhaul our own procedures. This is something written in the contract.”
The colleague said contemptuously to Si Qi in a vicious tone: “You are eating our country’s food, but you only think about your own country! I have said long ago that Chinese people are a bunch of dirty and despicable rats! They don’t know any gratitude!”
The original owner was so angry that his face turned red. He gritted his teeth, pushed away the big foot that stepped on him, passed through a group of colleagues who were watching the fun, strode to Qian Lu’s office, and said to Qian Lu, who is the director of the research institute: “Did you know there was an earthquake in in our homeland?”
“Homeland? Where?” Qian Lu said in surprise: “I didn’t feel the ground shaking?”
The original owner slammed the table angrily: “I mean our country! China!”
Qian Lu snorted and said slowly, “So what? It’s just an earthquake, it happens every year.”
The original owner was furious, but at this moment, the colleague who hit him walked in and told Qian Lu: “The superiors asked us to shut down China’s GPS for maintenance.”
Qian Lu nodded: “No problem, I’ll do it right away.”
The original owner was going crazy. He grabbed Qian Lu by the collar and shouted hysterically in Mandarin: “Qian Lu!! Do you have any conscience? Are you not chinese?!!!”
“no.”
Qian Lu pushed the original owner away and sneered in country E´s Mandarin when the original owner stared at him in disbelief: “I had already transferred my nationality long before I entered this research institute. Otherwise, how could I have been promoted to the position I am now?”
“You, what did you say?”
He rushed forward like crazy to stop the two men, and then they jointly beat him to the ground and kicked him hard.
Half an hour later, he was lying on the ground unable to stand up and was thrown outside the institute by security guards. His bruised and swollen face was covered with tears and snot.
He lay on the ground, wailing in pain, yelling curses, and beating the ground hard with his hands.
He took out his mobile phone to search for the latest news, and then his eyes went black with anger.
The Chinese helicopter carrying emergency relief supplies inexplicably lost its position mid-flight, and the car driving among the ruins couldn’t even turn on the navigation! All the reliable coordinates around them were destroyed. At this time, they could only open the paper map to confirm the location and look for nearby residents who were eagerly waiting for rescue!
Domestic netizens were extremely anxious, and their cries and prayers resounded throughout the Internet. Many people spontaneously carried relief supplies to the local area to save people.
Soon someone discovered the malfunction of the positioning system and cursed Country E as crazy.
However, Country E said that this was a request by a researcher named Si from China, to shut down the system for maintenance, and that it was not their responsibility.
As a result, someone soon traced Si Qi’s information based on his surname.
The 13-year-old genius, who had no father or mother, went to college with the help of his fellow villagers. After studying abroad, he gave up returning to his country and instead stayed abroad. The results of his research were purchased by the motherland at a huge cost, and when disasters occurred he even deliberately turned off the positioning system, killing countless people…
Every word deeply hurt the hearts of the Chinese people and made them curse in anger.
“Traitor! White-eyed wolf3! Why don’t you die!!”
“You are not worthy of being a Chinese!”
“Look at the corpses in the photos! Look at the desperate eyes of those children who lost their parents! Don’t you feel guilty? Aren’t you afraid that the dead will turn into ghosts to seek revenge on you!!”
“Tell me this guy’s address, I must go over and catch him, and make him kneel on the ground to apologize to all the dead souls!”
“My body is shaking with anger. How could our country of China raise such a beast!! Block him! Put him on the blacklist! Let him never enter our country of China again for the rest of his life!!”
“I almost fainted from crying just when I saw the news reports of the earthquake. Why can this guy be so cruel! Why!”
The lines of text were bone-chilling, and hot sweat like an explosion kept coming out of all parts of Si Qi’s body. His head was buzzing, and everything in his field of vision began to feel dizzy.
He fell to the ground, clutching his throbbing heart with his hands, his stomach churned, and he threw up. The pungent smell penetrated the tip of his nose, and he knelt on the ground looking as embarrassed as a beggar.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
The original owner scratched his head and cried so much that he didn’t even know who to ask for help. An overseas call suddenly came into his cell phone, and he answered the call with trembling fingers.
“Pro, profesor…”
Over there, the professor, who had always been elegant and gentle, and who was as loving as a father to him, roared at the original owner with a thunderous roar: “You are still not a human being!! You beast, beast!!!”
The original owner cried bitterly: “Uuuu…Professor…I am not…”
“I cultivated you wholeheartedly and tried my best to teach you knowledge. I only hoped that you could inherit my position and prevent our motherland from being bullied again! But how did you do it? How did you do it?! You make me feel so cold! Cough, cough…”
Another person’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, “Professor! You are not in good health, so you can’t be angry!”
“Leave me alone!” The professor pushed away the people around him and yelled at the phone with a red face: “I would rather I never met you! didn’t let you enter the school!! I should have given up completely when you refused to come back. You! You called me every year, I thought you cared about us, but what about you? You are stabbing us in the back!”
The original owner knelt on the ground holding his cell phone and kowtowing repeatedly “Uuuu…I’m sorry, teacher…I regret…I regret…it’s not me…it’s really not me…”
The old professor couldn’t stand firmly. He sat on the chair with difficulty amidst the anxious shouts of the people around him. He panted and said, “Explain to me what’s going on!”
The original owner cried and said urgently: “It’s money——”
boom–! !
A violent impact came from behind, and the original owner’s body flew into the sky uncontrollably, and then hit the hard ground more than ten meters away. Blood flowed from his forehead, and his body gradually became cold due to excessive blood loss.
In his dim vision, he saw the phone crash to the ground with a few bangs and break into countless metal shards. He ignored his physical condition, his fingers twitched and tried to pick up the mobile phone in the distance. There was only one thought in his mind, he wanted to explain it to the teacher!
Then, the car that drove behind him backed up again, aiming at his body and crushing him again. His internal organs couldn’t bear the heavy pressure and burst quickly, blood vomited from his mouth, his fingertips twitched for the last time, his eyes lost their look, and he no longer breathed.
A short time later, police vehicles arrived at the scene and removed his mangled body.
In the afternoon, the news of Si Qi’s death spread back to China. While people mourned the victims of the earthquake, they all applauded the death of the original owner. They all said that God has eyes and good and evil will be rewarded. Hell accepted this heartless beast, and the dead souls were somewhat comforted.
Not long after, many of the research results left by the original owner were carried forward in the E-Country Research Institute. The old professor was distressed to learn that these researches had the shadow of his own students. This matter completely became a knot in his mind, and soon he followed depressedly.
……..
………….
Si Qi sat at the table in the cafe, tapping his long white fingertips lightly on the table.
Qian Lu came back holding the coffee with a smile and said to Si Qi: “How about it, have you thought clearly? We old classmates welcome you to stay at any time.”
Si Qi turned his head and looked at the young man in front of him who was holding coffee in one hand and shaking his other hand in a friendly way.
He slowly stretched out his hand, and then slapped it away with a “pop” sound.
“You——!” Qian Lu pinched his painfully swollen palms in shock. Before he could speak, he saw Si Qi in front of him pushing the cold but untouched cup of coffee out of the table.
Si Qi stood up and looked straight at the man opposite him with his dark and indifferent eyes, as if he could directly see through his ugly mind, which made Qian Lu’s heart tighten subconsciously.
All he saw was that bright red thin lips of the young man in front of him curling up in a sarcastic arc, and saying coldly to him:
“If you want to keep me here, you’re not qualified enough.”
