The all-round academic master's girlfriend

Chapter 405 A Trust for the Nation

Tang Yuze's decisive acceptance of the trip to Beijing finally eased the tension that Dean Huang Yu had been feeling.

He let out a long sigh of relief, a smile of relief mixed with anticipation spreading across his face.

This gem has finally been recognized and will soon shine on the stage most suited to him.

His gaze then fell on Xia Jinxi, who had been quietly staying beside Tang Yuze.

This exceptionally beautiful girl only had eyes for her brother; her dependence and trust were obvious.

"Xia, you're the same."

"If you wish, you can go to the capital with Yuze."

"Don't worry about your student status. We will coordinate with Lining University to keep your student status. You can also complete your studies remotely or in other flexible ways during this period. It will not affect your studies at all."

Huang Yu spoke to her gently.

They have now drafted a preliminary plan for the human genome formula brought by Tang Yuze, and ensuring the safety of Tang Yuze's family is the most basic requirement during this research period.

"I do! I want to be with my brother!"

Xia Jinxi nodded vigorously without any hesitation, her voice clear and firm.

For her, home is wherever Tang Yuze is, whether it's a cramped rented room or the unknown capital city. As long as he's by her side, she has nothing to fear.

"Dean Huang, it's no problem for Xiaoxi and me to go to Beijing together."

"Also, what about our parents..."

Tang Yuze looked at his sister with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, but then he thought of a practical problem and turned to Huang Yu, his tone filled with concern.

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Yu nodded knowingly, a calm smile on his face that said, "It's all been arranged."

He turned slightly to the side, his gaze falling on a middle-aged man at the table who had been silent since he sat down, yet whose posture was as upright as a javelin.

The man sensed the gaze and calmly put down his teacup.

He was about forty years old, with an ordinary appearance, the kind of person who would be hard to spot in a crowd, but his eyes were unusually deep and calm, as if they could see through all pretense.

He wore a well-fitting dark jacket without any logos, yet he exuded an undeniable aura of competence and authority.

"Comrade Tang Yuze, Comrade Xia Jinxi,"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Mao Huan. I work in a relevant department of the Ministry of National Defense. The specific department is subject to confidentiality regulations, so I cannot go into details."

The man spoke, his voice not loud, but carrying a metallic quality and a convincing power.

Ministry of National Defense!

Mao Huan's self-introduction was brief, but it made Tang Yuze's eyes narrow slightly, and Xia Jinxi subconsciously tighten her grip on her brother's arm.

They realized that the matter was on a much higher level than they had imagined.

"Please rest assured about your parents, Comrade Tang Liu and Comrade Lin Hui."

"In fact, at the same time our research institute began locating Comrade Yuze, our department had already simultaneously initiated a security assessment and protection procedure for your entire family. Currently..."

"Comrades Tang Liu and Lin Hui have left their original work locations under the accompaniment of our relevant personnel and are now under first-level national security protection. They are absolutely safe and there will be no potential risks."

Mao Huan continued in his calm and even tone.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuze felt somewhat relieved. He was deeply impressed by the country's efficiency and attention to detail.

But then he immediately thought of a detail, his brows furrowing as he looked at Mao Huan.

"Mr. Mao, since you have already contacted my parents, why haven't I received any message from them until this morning?"

Even a text message that hints at safety.

This was a small doubt in his mind.

Taking a leave of absence from school to go to Beijing for scientific research is no small matter.

Given his parents' love for him, if they knew in advance that something big was going to happen, they would definitely try to inform him.

"This is our suggestion. After initial contact and explanation of the situation, we analyzed the current situation with Comrade Tang Liu and Comrade Lin Hui."

"To ensure the absolute security of information transmission and to avoid any possible monitoring or interception, we advise them not to contact you through any regular communication methods for the time being."

"The safest way is for us to establish direct contact with you offline, and then for you to use the communication equipment we provide, which has undergone strict security checks, to proactively call them and let them know you are safe."

"In this way, all uncontrollable risks can be minimized."

Mao Huan was not surprised by Tang Yuze's keen insight, and he explained frankly.

It turned out to be the case.

Tang Yuze understood instantly. This was the most professional and cautious approach, cutting off all possible avenues for leakage.

"I understand, thank you for your thoughtful arrangements."

He nodded, indicating his understanding.

At this moment, Mao Huan took out a heavy-looking black satellite phone without any brand logo from a seemingly ordinary briefcase he was carrying and handed it to Tang Yuze.

"Comrade Yuze, now you can use this phone to let your parents know you're safe. The line is absolutely secure."

Mao Huan said.

Dinner was drawing to a close, and the waiter cleared away the cutlery and served tea.

Huang Yu, Lian Wenshi, and the others sat quietly, giving Tang Yuze and Xia Jinxi enough space and time.

Tang Yuze took the heavy phone and took a deep breath.

Xia Jinxi nervously moved closer, tightly holding his arm with her small hands and pressing her cheek against his shoulder, as if she could draw strength from it.

As the professors watched this scene and recalled the various details from before, they felt that something was amiss.

They all knew that Xia Jinxi was an adopted child of the Tang family and could not be considered Tang Yuze's biological sister.

The two of them were so affectionate that they were closer than any ordinary brother or sister.

Well, I'll ask when I have time.

Even these middle-aged and elderly people who deal with scientific research all day long still have a bit of a gossipy side.

Following Mao Huan's simple instructions, Tang Yuze dialed his mother Lin Hui's number.

The phone rang only once before it was answered quickly, the speed of which showed that the other party had been waiting for the call.

"mom."

"Hello? Is this Tang Yuze?"

On the other end of the phone came Lin Hui's familiar voice, which was trembling and urgent.

Lin Hui didn't call Tang Yuze "brat" as usual, which showed that her parents were still in shock about Tang Yuze being invited by the China Academy of Sciences.

"It's me. Xiaoxi and I are together, and we're both doing well. How are you and Dad?"

Hearing his mother's voice, Tang Yuze's usually calm heart was stirred.

He softened his voice, trying to make his tone sound relaxed.

"Great, we're all doing well! The comrades sent by the government have taken excellent care of us!"

Lin Hui's voice was trembling with tears, yet filled with excitement.

"I'm so glad you're okay. I've been worried sick all day. Is Xixi with you?"

"Mom, I'm here!"

Xia Jinxi quickly shouted into the microphone.

"My brother and I are together, we're both fine, don't worry!"

"Yuze, Xiaoxi, it's your dad."

At that moment, the phone seemed to be taken by another hand, and the father, Tang Liu, spoke in a slightly hoarse but calm voice.

"dad."

Tang Yuze and Xia Jinxi spoke in unison.

"Ah."

Tang Liu responded and remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly calming herself down.

"You don't need to worry about anything at home."

"The comrades from the country have told us the gist of it. They said you have made a remarkable discovery in biology, and the country attaches great importance to it and wants to invite you to the capital to participate in a very important scientific research project."

Tang Liu's voice was not loud, but it carried a simplicity and solemnity unique to the working class.

"Yuze, your father doesn't understand the profound things you study, but I know that if the country attaches so much importance to it, it must be a great thing, a great thing that benefits the country and the people!"

“We can all follow the country’s arrangements. If you go to the capital, we will go to the capital as well.”

"Xiaoxi will probably be living with us then, so you can focus on the national project without worry."

This father, who is usually serious and doesn't talk much, spoke at length, his words filled with pride for his son.

"Dad, don't worry, I know what to do. I will try my best."

Tang Yuze felt a slight sting in his nose as he listened to his father's words. He gripped the phone tightly and responded in a deep voice.

The two sides exchanged brief information over the phone, confirming that they were both well and outlining their plans to move their families to Beijing.

Although the future is full of unknowns, with the support of national power, there is a great sense of security that everything has settled down.

"Yuze".

Finally, Tang Liu's voice rang out again, with an unprecedented solemnity.

"Work hard! Make our country proud, and your father and mother will be so proud of you!"

These words struck Tang Yuze's heart like a heavy hammer.

He could imagine that his strong-willed father, on the other end of the phone, must have red eyes and be struggling to hold back his emotions.

"Okay! Dad, Mom, take care of yourselves. See you in Beijing."

Tang Yuze solemnly promised.

See you in the capital!

The phone hangs up.

Tang Yuze slowly put down the satellite phone and remained silent for a long time.

Xia Jinxi couldn't hold back any longer and buried her face in his chest, sobbing softly.

The restaurant was silent. Huang Yu, Lian Wenshi, and the others did not make a sound to disturb them; they understood how the young couple felt at that moment.

Mao Huan silently put away the satellite phone.

"Yuze, don't worry. Once you arrive in the capital, your family will be reunited soon. The country will not let down any meritorious person who has made contributions and their family."

Dean Huang Yu gently patted Tang Yuze on the shoulder, his tone full of understanding and comfort.

Tang Yuze raised his head, the slight ripples in his eyes had subsided, replaced by a more determined light.

He gripped Xia Jinxi's hand tightly and nodded gently to Huang Yu, and to everyone else.

He has already shouldered the responsibility entrusted to him by his family and country.
