The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

Rose clenched her fists and then unclenched them, then said coldly, "Dika, you passed."

"Boss, I'll take the punishment when I get back!" Dika lowered his head to admit his mistake, but couldn't help but whisper, "But for now, just enjoy it... Anyway, we're here, look how handsome Professor Su is today."

Rose's eyes unconsciously followed the white figure on the stage.

Su Zibai was accepting a toast from the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology. His profile looked as angular as a sculpture under the light.

It’s really eye-catching!

Rose looked away and took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray. "This won't happen again."

Dicka breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yutang stood not far away and took it all in.

Just as she was about to go up and talk, Xu Yike suddenly patted her from behind.

"Stop staring." Xu Yike leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Rose is a special envoy from the Ministry of National Security, responsible for the security of your brother's scientific research projects. But her identity is more than just a special envoy. This is just her most insignificant title. The reason she became a special envoy is for your brother..."

Su Yutang opened her eyes wide in surprise: "How did you know?"

Xu Yike blinked mysteriously: "Listening to what your third brother said, I know a lot of their secrets. Hehe, now your third brother and I are also good friends who can talk about anything. We chat every night under the quilt in bed. Don't be fooled by your third brother's usual gentle appearance, he is quite reserved in private~"

"......" Su Yutang imagined the scene and wanted to laugh.

At this moment, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.

A spotlight shone on the center stage. After the host said Su Zibai's name, Su Zibai walked slowly onto the stage amid warm applause, his posture as straight as a pine tree.

"Thank you all the leaders and colleagues for coming..." Su Zibai spoke eloquently, his voice steady and powerful, attracting everyone's attention.

When he finishes speaking...

The host's voice rang out again: "Now, please invite Minister Li of the Ministry of Science and Technology to present Professor Su Zibai with the Special Contribution Award!"

Amidst thunderous applause, Minister Li came on stage and handed over the golden medal.

Su Zibai on the stage was bending down to receive the medal.

At this moment, all the lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out, leaving only a few emergency lights emitting a dim red light.

The crowd exclaimed in surprise, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps and the clinking of cups and plates.

"what happened?"

"power cut?"

"Security! Where is the security?"

Su Yutang felt a hand tightly grasping her wrist. It was Bo Jingzhou.

He whispered in her ear, "Don't move. Follow me."

Su Jinyao also caught Xu Yike at the first opportunity.

In the darkness, Rose's calm voice sounded not far away: "Dika, protect Professor Su."

Then there was the sound of metal rubbing against metal, like the sound of a gun being loaded.

Su Yutang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, fearing that something unexpected might happen at the celebration party.

The darkness lasted less than three seconds.

"Wait!" A loud shout cut through the chaotic banquet hall.

The lights suddenly came on, making it impossible to open your eyes.

Su Yutang subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes, and through her fingers she saw a middle-aged man standing at the entrance of the banquet hall, walking in with excited steps.

Everyone's movements froze.

Rose's hand was still hidden behind her skirt, and Dicka also quietly put away the gun.

It was expressly forbidden to bring guns into the banquet, and guns could not be used unless the other party took action. So in order to avoid trouble, the two men quickly hid their guns.

But Su Yutang could feel the murderous aura emanating from Rose and Dika.

Over there, a middle-aged man walked slowly into the light.

He was in his early fifties, with gray hair neatly combed back and sharp eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

He was wearing a well-tailored iron-gray suit, holding a brown paper document bag in his left hand and an ebony cane in his right.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you all, but before we present the awards, there are some things that must be clarified." The man's voice was not loud but penetrating.

The banquet hall was silent.

The leader of the Ministry of Science and Technology on the stage frowned, and the host was at a loss holding the microphone.

Su Yutang looked at her eldest brother, only to see Su Zibai standing under the spotlight, his face as pale as paper, his eyes filled with pure shock, as if he had seen something that could not possibly exist.

"Zhou Shihong..." She heard her elder brother whisper the name, with a hint of disgust in his voice.

The man named Zhou Shihong had already walked to the front of the stage and held up the file bag. "I'm going to sue Su Zibai. He stole my scientific research data and kept it for himself."

He slammed his cane on the ground. "He doesn't deserve to be here and receive this medal!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The banquet hall instantly exploded with discussions flooding in like a tide.

Several military representatives exchanged confused glances, while reporters raised their cameras like sharks smelling blood.

You know, this celebration banquet is a big deal. If you talk nonsense here without solid evidence, you will be sent to jail.

The host hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Mr...., what evidence do you have?"

"The evidence is in my hands." Zhou Shihong calmly opened the briefcase and took out a stack of documents. "In the meantime, please allow me to use the big screen."

Before anyone could agree, the main screen in the banquet hall suddenly lit up, showing the cover of a scientific research proposal. The name was exactly the same as the project name that Su Zibai won the award for, but the signature was clearly written in three large characters: "Zhou Shihong".

"This is the scientific research result my team completed last year, two months ahead of Professor Su's proposal." Zhou Shihong clicked the remote control, and the screen began to scroll through detailed data. "Experts, please compare them. The core algorithm and experimental data are almost identical."

The large screen splits and displays the key pages of the two plans, and the similarity is indeed surprisingly high.

The professionals at the scene began to whisper to each other, some shook their heads, and some showed contempt.

The faces of the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology became increasingly grim.

"This is impossible..." Su Zibai's voice spread throughout the room through the microphone. He quickly walked to the screen and said coldly, "I personally got these data..."

"Did he steal it from my lab personally?" Zhou Shihong sneered, pulling out a stack of photos from his briefcase. "These are the surveillance screenshots from last November when Professor Su 'accidentally' visited my lab. Notice the USB drive he's holding."

The photo clearly shows Su Zibai standing in front of a data terminal in a laboratory, holding a storage device in his hand.

Su Yutang's heart tightened.

The photo didn't look fake, and her eldest brother's reaction made her even more uneasy.

Su Zibai stared at the photos intently, as if he had seen something terrible, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Brother..." She subconsciously took a step forward, but was grabbed by Bo Jingzhou's wrist.

"Don't be impatient." Bo Jingzhou whispered in her ear in a calm voice, "It's not that simple."
