"Dean Li, the man-eating insects you used before are urgently needed by the higher-ups, who require them to be handed over in three days."

"Dean Li, the mobile camera we made yesterday doesn't have facial recognition functionality. We've been asked to add it."

"Dean Li, how did you achieve this research on antimatter?"

"Dean Li..."

"Dean Li..."

……

Suddenly, all the researchers at the research institute became like death knells, urging Li Mo to do his research and taking turns staying by his side day and night.

After deducting the time spent doing research, Li Mo couldn't stay awake for the remaining two hours. He closed his eyes and dozed off for a while before he was able to rest for a while.

We were entrusted with this task, and although we may have been heartless, we didn't go so far as to prevent people from resting. Humans aren't machines, and even machines couldn't withstand this kind of work.

Seeing that Li Mo could fall asleep while standing, the people next to him smiled with relief.

As expected of Dean Li, it has to be you.

Li Mo gradually discovered that several people couldn't even do the job of an assistant, or were too lazy to do it.

In the first few days, he could still put on an act, but now he doesn't even bother to pretend anymore. He's just coasting along, waiting for credit.

You can just get some experience here and go back to being a rich kid; it's just a nice way of putting it.

The key point is that a third of the people in the entire research institute are second-generation rich kids!

Is this normal?

For a properly operating and legitimate research institute, this is highly unusual! Extremely unusual!

Anyone would know this is a serious problem.

If even a workaholic like Li Mo, who doesn't care about anything else, can spot this problem, then it's clear how problematic it is.

In his spare time, Li Mo secretly went online to do some research.

As for a workaholic's free time...

Those who know, know; no need to elaborate. You can figure it out for yourselves.

The information Li Mo found online was as follows: The Qian family's house caught fire unexpectedly, and all of the Qian family's direct descendants perished in the flames.

It's obvious without even thinking that this news is just a smokescreen.

If a house catches fire, why wouldn't people run outside? Why would they wait to be burned to death?

And how could this fire burn everyone to death? Are you kidding me? Only a fool would believe such a reason.

After careful investigation, Li Mo discovered that it was actually the third son of the Wang family who destroyed the Qian family.

The reason is also very simple.

The patriarch of the Wang family died from his illness, and the third son seized the opportunity to take over. However, instead of using the power to kill his brothers and sons to consolidate his position, the third son first avenged his brother by wiping out the Qian family.

Good heavens! To avenge his brother, he wiped out the Qian family...?

When Li Mo discovered the truth, he was completely stunned.

This……

That's incredibly benevolent, too benevolent! It's so benevolent it's utterly unreasonable.

Aren't all large families just fighting and killing each other, openly and secretly vying for power, resorting to any means to gain profit? This Wang family is actually a breath of fresh air in this mudslide, unique and distinctive!

When the elder brother took over, the two brothers stayed put, neither fighting nor grabbing, just waiting to die.

When the eldest brother kicks the bucket, the younger brothers immediately step in to avenge him, acting swiftly and decisively. What a heartwarming scene of brotherly love and respect! It's truly inspiring and enviable!

However, regardless of the circumstances, Wang Laosan's revenge was brilliantly executed. How could he even come up with such a plan? Did the Qian family even have his capabilities?

Could it be a case of settling a personal score while on official business?

Forget it, Li Mo stopped thinking about it and accepted the fact that Wang Laosan had avenged his brother without any psychological burden. He even wanted to applaud the righteous Wang Laosan, thinking that for his applause, Wang Laosan might do the same for the people next time.

The Qian family's deaths were entirely justified. They took advantage of the situation to inflate prices, and hospital fees kept rising, making it impossible for ordinary people to even go to the hospital when they were sick. A single hospital visit could wipe out half a month's salary, and a minor surgery could mean a year's worth of work for nothing.

The key is that I dare not utter a single word of complaint, for fear that someone with ulterior motives will hold a grudge and that I might lose my life if I end up in the hospital again.

"Life is tough," Li Mo sighed.

The fact that the Wang family was able to so easily bring down the Qian family this time speaks volumes about their strength.

Li Mo abandoned his playful thoughts and began to worry about his family. The Qian family had been wiped out so easily, demonstrating that this third son of the Wang family was even more ruthless and unscrupulous than the previous patriarch. It was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't extend his affections to his nephew and, in revenge, choose to harm his own family.

Should I call Brother Fang?

Li Mo thought for a moment and felt it was inappropriate. Brother Fang was an ordinary person and powerless against the Wang family.

After much deliberation, Li Mo finally opened his communication device and dialed the number.

"Brother Fang, where are you? I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

"What's wrong? Tell me slowly." A warm and gentle voice came from the receiver, like a spring breeze, soothing Li Mo's emotions.

Upon hearing Brother Fang's voice, Li Mo calmed down slightly and laughed at himself for not being composed enough.

How are my parents doing lately?

"Everything's fine, there aren't any major problems." Fang Lei's voice was somewhat hesitant.

"What's going on? What happened to them? Is it...?" Li Mo's heart, which had just settled down, jumped again, wondering if the Wang family had already made their move.

After all, the other party has extensive connections and many ways to make someone disappear without anyone noticing.

"Xiao Mo, don't worry, it's nothing serious. Auntie caught a chill yesterday and has a slight fever today. She's already seen a doctor and taken some medicine, so she'll be fine in a couple of days. It's just... Auntie keeps talking about you. When would you be free to come back for a visit?"

Li's mother just had a common cold, and she did mention Li Mo, but what she said... wasn't very pleasant.

Wang Lei knew that Li Mo's situation wasn't good. But so what? As long as my public image remained intact, what did it matter to me if you poured oil on my face?

Li Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that everything was alright at home.

Li Mo would do anything for his dream. He just didn't want to burden his family.

Hearing that his mother wanted him to go back home, he hesitated again. Even though he suspected it was just Brother Fang's kind offer, Li Mo was still tempted. But...

"I've been quite busy lately. If you can, please spend more time with them. Thank you, Brother Fang. I'll treat you to a meal sometime." Li Mo forced a smile, trying to put the other person at ease.

"There's no need for thanks between us. Your parents are my parents too. Taking care of them is only what I should do. Don't worry about the household, leave it to me."

Li Mo let out a soft breath. The Qian family had just been wiped out, and he didn't want to implicate his family.

With nowhere to turn for help, should we just drop another bomb?

Things are different now than before.

The research institute was heavily guarded, and the key problem was that Li Mo couldn't get away at all. Except when he was sleeping, there were always people around him.

What should we do? Are we really just going to sit here and wait to die?

After hesitating for a long time, Li Mo called Old Li again.

After the call connected, Li Mo chatted for a couple of minutes before getting straight to the point.

"I'm a little worried about my family..."

"What's going on? Did you hear something? They have special protection, you can rest assured."

"It's nothing, I'm just... a little uneasy. Will my family really be alright?" Li Mo held back, not revealing his expertise in the internet.

It wasn't that he didn't trust the other person, it was just...

Okay, he just doesn't really trust the other person. It's hard to explain, maybe it's just intuition...

As a researcher, he never imagined he'd one day need to use the word "intuition." How ironic!

"With the government involved, you can rest assured. Don't worry about the Wang family's affairs. The most important thing now is to complete the research. Once the research is published and you're brought into the public eye, the Wang family will have to think twice before trying to harm you."

Old Li's eyes were full of determination as he looked over with a kind expression.

Meeting Old Li's gaze, Li Mo unconsciously lowered his eyes, not daring to meet Old Li's eyes.

Everyone says the eyes are the windows to the soul, but perhaps Old Li doesn't know that? Li Mo comforted himself with this thought.
