Chapter 1022: Biggest Rumor

Very few people knew the phone number of the research institute. Those who could call were either close friends of Professor Feng or important partners.

When the phone specialist heard the voice on the other end, she was initially stunned by the man’s deep and pleasant tone. She quickly recovered and transferred the call without delay.

Feng Yanze stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the scene below. He had been there for a long time.

The weather had turned cold recently. The girl, likely sensitive to the chill, no longer passed by daily, reading books and running on the small sports field. He only saw her occasionally now, making it harder for him to watch her.

Today, however, the girl was sitting alone on the small field, staring into space. This was a rare sight.

She was known never to idle. At school, they joked that a genius’s brain was always working, leaving no time for daydreaming. Every moment was precious, and her results since enrolling proved her constant diligence.

Despite her intelligence, she had lost many years and her foundation was weak. To catch up, she had to work even harder.

From his vantage point, Feng Yanze could vaguely see the girl’s body trembling slightly, which displeased him.

Recently, the school has been rife with rumours. Even Feng Yanze, typically uninterested in gossip, had heard them.

The biggest rumour was about Su Jun. Her true identity had been revealed, causing a significant stir. Professor Su’s unparalleled status at the school added to the shock.

Many people flocked to her.

Su Jun was famous as a genius and had the teachers’ attention. With the news spreading, the research institute formerly led by Professor Su invited her to join.

The Mathematics Department didn’t want to let her go either.

This tug-of-war placed enormous pressure on her. Everyone watched her final decision closely, including the military. Professor Su’s research had always been in collaboration with them, making him practically half a military man.

At this moment, the phone rang.

“Hey!” Feng Yanze sat down on the leather sofa and answered.

“What has Professor Feng been busy with recently?” Zhou Hengguang’s teasing voice came through the phone.

Feng Yanze frowned slightly, sensing that Hengguang was up to no good.

“Of course I’m busy. It’s a coincidence you called. You’ve been staying in the research lab recently.” Holding the phone, he glanced out the window again, noticing the girl’s absence.

A wave of frustration washed over him. He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, revealing a hint of skin and his perfectly contoured neck.

“I heard the school has been very lively recently?”

“Haha! Don’t you know?”

“I’ve graduated. I’m not as in touch as you are.” Zhou Hengguang had only heard rumours from former classmates. Though he had graduated and wasn’t in the loop, he had connections. However, as someone from the architecture department, he wasn’t familiar with the mathematics, research, and physics departments led by Professor Su.

He didn’t know as much as Feng Yanze.

“I…” Feng Yanze paused. “Why are you calling?”

“I’m concerned about my brother’s sister-in-law!” Zhou Hengguang chuckled, clearly in a good mood.
