Not long after.

Ding Ze successfully spoke with Goodman.

After a few rounds of polite pleasantries...

Goodman was curious about Ding Ze and asked, "Mr. Smith, what part of our research institute are you interested in that led you to want to donate to it?"

Ding Ze planned to visit the Jefferson Institute later. Considering that his original face was unsuitable, he would have to go using Neil Smith's face instead...

“Director Goodman, the truth is this: the person who really intended to donate was my boss, not me. I was just following my boss’s instructions.”

Ding Ze said, "As far as I know, my boss is interested in a PhD from your institute named Tempruns-Brennan."

"He greatly admired Dr. Brennan's work."

“Dr. Brennan’s work is indeed excellent,” Goodman replied immediately after hearing this, and then, following protocol, tactfully inquired, “Mr. Smith, our institute welcomes donations from all sectors of society. However, as you may already know, the Jefferson Institute is a government-administered institute, and we cannot accept donations casually. May I ask your boss’s name and what he does?”

Damn it.

Donating money is so troublesome.

Ding Ze was a little troubled, but since things had come to this point, he couldn't just give up like this.

You see, he really wanted to play with Brennan, and more importantly, he really wanted to play with Hudgens and the others.

In his opinion, Huggins is really super funny.

“My boss’s name is Jason Freeman, a Chicago native, and a professional treasure hunter who is currently searching for treasure in Norway,” Ding Zeyi replied. “His money is all legal income, coming from Soapyt, Gartner, and other auction houses.”

Goodman was concerned about this: legal income. Hearing this, he felt a little relieved. "Okay, please forgive me, this is a necessary procedure, I have to ask."

"fine."

"So, Mr. Smith, are you in Washington now?"

"Yes, I'm at the Hilton Hotel."

“Mr. Smith, would it be convenient for us to talk in person?” Goodman asked.

Ding Ze was waiting for this sentence: "Alright, I'll go to your research institute. My boss asked me to convey his admiration to Dr. Brennan."

“Okay, I’ll wait for you at the research institute. When you arrive, call me and I’ll come pick you up. My phone number is…” Goodman replied.

"Okay, see you later."

hang up the phone.

Get it done.

Ding Ze didn't waste any time. He quickly tidied himself up, making himself look clean and handsome. Then, he wrote a check for fifty million US dollars and went out.

Upon arriving at the Jefferson Institute, I contacted Goodman.

It didn't even take a few minutes.

Under Goodman's guidance, Ding Ze successfully entered the research institute.

“Mr. Smith, shall I take you to see Dr. Brennan first, so you can see her work?” Goodman suggested.

“Okay,” Ding Ze nodded in agreement.

A short while later, the two entered the laboratory where Brennan worked.

As soon as I entered.

The incredibly familiar scene unfolded before him, and Ding Ze immediately shifted his gaze, looking around. In the blink of an eye, he saw Hudgens, who had three doctoral degrees and was highly professional in insects and soil; Brennan's assistant, Zach Eddie; and Brennan's best friend, Angela, who was responsible for reconstructing the skeleton. He also saw a skeleton placed on a high platform in the center of the laboratory...

'Judging from this, the plot should be starting soon,' Ding Ze thought, his gaze falling on the skeleton. Wanting to confirm, he asked Goodman, 'Director Goodman, as far as I know, Dr. Brennan seems to be researching ancient skeletons. What's the story with that skeleton?'

Upon hearing this, Goodman immediately explained, "It's like this, those are the remains of a victim, which were recently retrieved from a pond. The FBI requested Dr. Brennan's assistance in identifying the remains in order to find the murderer."

“Dr. Brennan’s abilities are versatile and not limited to those ancient skeletons.”

Hear the words.

Ding Ze has pretty much made up his mind.

Skeletons retrieved from the pond...

So, Bones is only just beginning...

interesting.

“I see,” Ding Ze replied.

at this time.

Harkins, Angela, and Zach, who were all working, noticed Ding Ze.

After all, Ding Ze was clearly being personally received by Goodman...

"Who is that man?" Zack asked Hudgens, a little confused.

Huggins glanced at it and didn't pay any attention. "Dr. Goodman came in person, and that man's clothes were quite expensive. He must be a potential donor."

Angela chimed in, "He's very handsome."

Just at this time.

Agent Booth hurried into the lab and saw Ding Ze walking beside Goodman...

Chapter 107 The White House is Attacked, a Frenzied Onslaught

Booth had a good memory and recognized Ding Ze at a glance—the man who had sat next to him for lunch a few days ago. He was a little surprised, but that was all. He only glanced at him before looking away and heading straight for Brennan's office.

Goodman spotted the direction Booth was heading and said, "Agent Booth, just a moment."

Booth stopped when he heard this. "Dr. Goodman, what's wrong?"

“If you need to see Dr. Brennan, would it be convenient to wait a moment?” Goodman said. “We need to speak with Dr. Brennan for a few minutes.”

Booth wasn't in a rush. "Okay, as soon as possible."

“Okay,” Goodman nodded.

While talking.

Goodman and Ding Ze had already arrived at Brennan's office door.

Goodman spoke up and introduced Ding Ze.

The two entered Brennan's office.

Booth wisely stood outside the office and didn't follow him in.

in the office.

Brennan was working on his computer when he saw Goodman and Ding Ze walk in. He looked up and greeted Goodman with some confusion, "Dr. Goodman."

“Dr. Brennan,” Goodman nodded slightly, then introduced Ding Ze, “this is Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith’s boss is very interested in your work and intends to donate to the Jefferson Institute. He also sent Mr. Smith over to express his admiration for you.”

Brennan smiled upon hearing this, stood up, and said, "Hello, Mr. Smith."

Ding Ze smiled back, "Dr. Brennan is so young and beautiful. My boss asked me to give you his regards."

Brennan was a rather conceited woman who always thought she was right. She accepted the compliment readily, saying, "Thank you, and please give my regards to your boss."

"Definitely," Ding Ze agreed. "Dr. Brennan, I just heard from Director Goodman that you've been cooperating with the FBI to catch murderers?"

“Yes,” Brennan replied with a smile.

“That’s impressive. Our country does have a lot of arrogant murderers who haven’t been imprisoned yet,” Ding Ze said with a smile. “With your abilities, I believe many murderers won’t be able to be arrogant for long.”

Brennan accepted the compliment as usual, saying, "I hope so."

"Dr. Brennan, would you mind telling me how you did it? I'm quite curious, because as far as I know, you study bones. Could the bones of those victims tell you who the perpetrator is?" Ding Ze asked, feigning curiosity.

“Sure, please have a seat,” Brennan agreed without hesitation.

Ding Ze and Goodman sat down opposite Brennan.

Brennan began to talk.

Booth saw this scene from outside the office and couldn't take it anymore. He subconsciously checked the time, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and chose to wait.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Booth couldn't wait any longer and stepped into Brennan's office. "Excuse me, Brennan, we need to question a suspect."

Upon hearing this, Brennan was eager to leave. "Dr. Goodman, Mr. Smith, I'm sorry, we are investigating a case, I have to go."

Upon hearing this, Goodman asked Ding Ze, "Mr. Smith, what do you think?"

Ding Ze had heard most of it. "It's alright, business is more important, Dr. Brennan, we'll meet another day."

“Okay,” Brennan replied, and then quickly left the office.

Ding Ze and Goodman also got up and walked outside.

“Excuse me, may I meet with Dr. Brennan’s team?” Ding Ze asked Goodman.

“Yes, they’re all here,” Goodman said, pointing to Hudgens and the others working on the oversized inspection table not far away. “Come with me.”

We arrived at the entrance to the inspection station.

Goodman swiped his card and led Ding Ze upstairs. Then, he called over Hudgens, Angela, and Zach and introduced them to Ding Ze one by one.
