128: Chapter 128 He's a part-time mercenary

Elder Jiang and the others looked quite grim.

What did they just hear?

Lin Heng is in the Golden Triangle?

He's just a University Student...

Why would he go to such a dangerous place?

Could it be that someone tricked him and dragged him there to harvest his organs?

Or perhaps spies from the Pretty Country found out Lin Heng's secret and immediately imprisoned him, wanting to interrogate him further about the chips?

Gulp...

Everyone swallowed hard, immediately realizing the gravity of the situation, and then spoke to the Longan Bureau:

"Director Long, I think this matter is extremely important. Why don't we assemble an army right now and snatch Lin Heng back from those Drug Lords and Warlords in the Golden Triangle?"

"Exactly! You must not underestimate Lin Heng's research capabilities. I think I see a young scientist on par with the 'Two Bombs, One Satellite' era rising up!"

"With Mr. Lin Heng's participation, our Long Country's scientific research strength is bound to reach new heights!"

"Director Long, why are you spacing out? Hurry up! It won't be good if Lin Heng is poached by people from the Pretty Country!"

Soon, someone urged him immediately.

They had all witnessed how precious Lin Heng's scientific research data was. While it might not reach the level of a Nobel Prize in Physics, it offered humanity a brand new possibility!

Even more, if Lin Heng continued his research, opening up a new world might not be impossible in the future!

However, Long Anyou just let out a wry smile and casually waved his hand.

"You are all worrying too much about this. Actually, Lin Heng is not in that much danger. On the contrary, the intelligence we currently have suggests that Lin Heng seems to be having quite a good time over there."

"It's a holiday period recently, he probably went over there for some part-time work."

Long Anyou gave everyone a look that suggested they should remain calm.

However, upon hearing this, the expressions of Elder Jiang and the others quickly became strange.

The color on their faces seemed unnatural.

Did their ears play tricks on them? Or had spending all day on research caused them to hallucinate?

Or perhaps they had started to not understand the language of Earth anymore?

Just now, Long Anyou said... Lin Heng was on vacation there?

Traveling?

Having fun?

Damn it!

Who goes traveling to the Golden Triangle!

Isn't that insane!

Soon, Elder Jiang and the others took a deep breath.

Especially Elder Jiang, after mentally preparing himself slightly, he asked Long Anyou with confusion:

"May I ask what Lin Heng went there to do?"

"Is it tourism?"

"Hehe, University Students these days really know how to have fun. Back in our day, even though conditions weren't as good, and we spent every day immersed in the library, we still had thoughts of going out to play..."

"But the international situation was much more complex back then, with less freedom."

"..."

The others also reminisced for a moment.

It was true that youth offered more freedom; they too had once been young and reckless.

But things were different now; they were old and lacked the energy, with all their focus confined to the laboratory.

Lin Heng was better off, able to go wherever he pleased. Still, the Golden Triangle was truly a place one could hardly speak of openly...

Even though they were deeply involved in their studies daily and knew little about the outside world,

they had still heard some things about the outside world.

The Golden Triangle was a chaotic region mixed with Drug Lords and Warlords, a place without effective governance, extremely dangerous. It was rumored that anyone who entered that area lived with their head strapped to their belt.

They truly didn't know why Lin Heng would choose such a path. There were so many places in the world to travel to, yet he insisted on going to such a place...

The group shook their heads gloomily.

Facing everyone's confusion, Long Anyou let out another wry smile.

"You all misunderstood. Lin Heng didn't go there for tourism; he went there for part-time work."

He emphasized Lin Heng's part-time job again.

Huh?

Part-time...?

Upon hearing this word, everyone froze.

Elder Jiang's expression was the most exaggerated.

He glanced left and right, checking if there were any outsiders, then spoke somewhat guiltily:

"Actually, with Lin Heng's talent, he shouldn't need to do such... such a despicable thing. Drug trafficking is a capital offense here!"

"But don't worry, if Lin Heng agrees to work with us, we can reflect this to the leadership and fight for a slot to exempt him from imprisonment."

After saying this, he immediately cleared his throat.

"However, one point needs attention: once Lin Heng enters our laboratory, he absolutely cannot continue dealing with narcotics, otherwise, we might not be able to protect him either."

The others' complexions changed slightly upon hearing this, but they all nodded silently, agreeing with Elder Jiang's approach.

Heh heh...

Hearing this, Long Anyou pursed his lips.

These old bald donkeys.

Their minds weren't on scientific research day by day; they only knew how to scheme about these things.

But they were probably going to be disappointed.

Even the Longan Bureau, the Military Region, and even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had tried, but not a single person could move Lin Heng.

"You misunderstood again. Lin Heng is not there trafficking drugs."

"Although Lin Heng is a bit undisciplined, he truly does not engage in illegal or taboo activities."

Long Anyou shook his head.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Elder Jiang looked up and laughed heartily, saying easily:

"Hahaha, I knew it! How could a mere drug worm come up with those unbelievable concepts?"

"Exactly. Without any brains, even if they strained their minds until they burst, they still wouldn't be able to create those things."

"Hmph, do they really think that humanity's most cutting-edge technology can just sprout out of the ground like weeds for those Drug Lords? That's hilarious!"

"Hahaha... Elder Jiang speaks the absolute truth, I think so too."

"..."

The crowd also laughed.

Then, everyone quickly became puzzled again.

"If he's not going there for tourism, and the part-time job isn't drug trafficking, then what is left?"

"Yeah, yeah. Can't he do it domestically? Why insist on going abroad?"

"What can a University Student do part-time? Especially in a place like that."

"..."

The Academicians, led by Elder Jiang, all looked at Long Anyou expectantly.

Initially, their knowledge of Lin Heng was limited to the fact that he had stolen some data from an unknown source, but now, they were growing increasingly curious.

Regarding this, Long Anyou hesitated for a moment.

Then he spoke:

"Mercenary."
