2335 Gu Hengbo Is Still Tempted

Ji Ziyin said softly, “Teacher, I’m just defending you. Mr. Martin doesn’t know about Feng Yu leaking the question in advance. If he finds out, he definitely won’t cover up for them.”

Gu Hengbo hung up and returned to his desk.

The others in the office looked at each other. Someone could not hold it in anymore and stepped forward to express his stand. “Team Leader Gu, we heard what your disciple said! I think she’s right…”

Gu Hengbo did not reply. He just frowned as if he was thinking about something.

Someone stood up and said, “That’s right. How can the First Research Institute be handed over to an outsider? The dean is too muddle-headed this time!”

“Team Leader Gu, why don’t we talk to the dean… At least ask the dean to give us a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, how can his disciple earn the public’s respect!”

However, Gu Hengbo called out to the angry people, “Come back.”

They stopped in their tracks and walked back.

Someone did not understand why he was so aggrieved and defended him. “Team Leader Gu, we don’t know about the Newcomer King. We only know that you’ve been working hard for the research institute all these years. Everyone knows your ability! In the First Research Institute, I only admire you.”

“Me too.”

“Me too.”

The others immediately agreed.

“…We don’t have any evidence.” Gu Hengbo had always been meticulous and would not easily reveal his thoughts. He only sighed helplessly. “If the dean doesn’t admit it, no one can produce evidence. What’s the point?”

Everyone’s hearts turned cold.

Originally, this was only Ji Ziyin’s own guess. After a while, this matter was about to come true.

Seeing the anger in their eyes, Gu Hengbo put away the scattered project forms on the table and handed them over one by one.

“The projects for the second half of the year are all here. Take them back and take a look.”

His uncompetitive appearance contrasted Feng Yu’s ‘ugly face’ who did not hesitate to play dirty tricks to support his disciple.

Sure enough, someone could not bear it anymore. “Team Leader Gu, are you just going to let it go?”

Gu Hengbo indifferently glanced at him and raised his hand to stop him. “The dean is the master of the research institute, after all. Our subordinates will do whatever he arranges. It’s fine since it’s just us here, but don’t say it outside lest you cause trouble for yourself.”

The people in the office nodded.

In reality, they felt even more indignant for him!

Gu Hengbo knew when to stop. After asking them to take the files and leave, he took out his phone from the drawer and pressed the screen.

Other than Ji Ziyin’s apology message saying that she was agitated just now, there were no other missed calls or unread messages.

Gu Hengbo opened the message. The top message was the one he had sent to Martin in the morning, asking him out to meet.

It was already three in the afternoon. Ten hours had passed.

However, there was no movement from Martin’s end. It was obvious that he was unwilling to take the time to pay attention to him.

Gu Hengbo took a deep breath and forcefully pursed his lips.

He thought of another way. He turned on his computer, logged into the black market, and found someone to buy an anonymous ID. After pondering for a moment, he typed a message and sent it.

Gu Hengbo pressed the Enter button after typing the last word.

The message was successfully sent!

The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile as he leaned back in his chair and stretched. Then, he picked up the teacup and lowered his head to take a sip.
