"In the golden autumn season, with the bright autumn sun, why is Mr. Lu so melancholy?" Lu Bo looked up and saw Du Bingwen standing in front of him, wearing a mysterious smile on his face. When he looked to the next seat, the woman in white was nowhere to be seen. "My name is Du Bingwen. The woman who was sitting next to me just now is my sister, Lin Yipei," Du Bingwen said. "A gathering of talents, possessing literary skills. The morning dew descends, and the clouds support the sky. These are all great names. Your parents must be very cultured," Lu Bo quickly adjusted his own state and continued, "However..."
"Oh, I take my father's surname, and she takes her mother's surname," Du Bingwen guessed what he wanted to ask. Then he added, "According to Pei Tianzhen, I asked her to buy some pastries, so we can talk alone."
"Forgive me for asking, do we know each other? You look familiar," Lu Bo stared at the person in front of him, who always had a gentle smile on his refined face, exuding the air of a literary youth. He really couldn't remember where he had seen such a person.
"Three years ago, we met in a laboratory in Country M. You probably don't remember," Du Bingwen said.
Lu Bo carefully recalled again and found that he really didn't remember this person, but in Country M, he had only been to one quantum physics laboratory. However, the refined and gentle man in front of him didn't seem like someone involved in physics.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Du Bingwen continued, "Your presence here proves that what I just said is not groundless. You have a grudge against the Zhou family." He then looked at the live broadcast on his phone, where Zhou Sheng was speaking confidently, showing no signs of being called in at the last minute. "Was Zhou Sheng so well-prepared because he knew in advance that you would give him the opportunity, or..." Du Bingwen looked at Lu Bo, the smile fading from his face, a hint of imperceptible danger in his eyes. Lu Bo pondered for a moment and decided to play dumb and try to bluff his way through. After all, he didn't know this person, and if he was exposed, he could just run away.
Lu Bo raised his head and blinked innocently, wearing the same expression as Lin Yipei just now. Then he stared into Du Bingwen's light-colored pupils, satisfied with his ability to act foolish and innocent. He lightly spoke, "Hmm? What's wrong, young master, why are you silent?"
Du Bingwen dreaded this kind of expression the most. Every time his sister showed this innocent and clueless expression, he didn't know how to respond. But he never expected that today, he would see this helpless expression on someone else's face again, and it was a man, too...
Seeing that he was still silent, Lu Bo knew he had guessed right and quickly changed the subject.
He smiled again and said, "By the way, Brother Bingwen, you saw me in the physics laboratory at Country M, so are you also studying physics?"
"I majored in psychology, but I studied physics when I was studying in Country M," Du Bingwen replied.
"Master Feng, with an air of elegance in the autumn. You have the look of a literary worker, so I thought you might be a writer or a journalist," Lu Bo raised his eyebrows, with a frivolous smile. He added, "But your appearance is quite suitable for acting. If you were to act in a period drama, I would definitely invest in it."
"Overrated. So, what are you going to do? There are tigers and wolves outside, and jackals and leopards inside." Du Bingwen ended the topic and shifted the focus to Lu Bo.
"Go with the flow," Lu Bo relaxed his body, leaning back in the chair. But in his mind, he was considering whether to use the same trick again and act foolishly. Honestly, he really didn't know what to do.
Du Bingwen continued, "Mr. Lu is a researcher, although intelligent, he may not be good at dealing with these things. I know an old man who has been obsessed with strategy all his life, perhaps he can help you break this situation. I wonder if Mr. Lu is willing to meet him."
Lu Bo hesitated, not knowing what to do. Zhou Sheng is not a bad person, but he might lose himself in the mocking of the outside world and be influenced to take action. He investigated Mr. Zhou and found that he used many illegal means to become wealthy when he was young. Just as Du Bingwen said, this person is narrow-minded and will not tolerate others in the future.
But he dared not blindly trust Du Bingwen, so he smiled and said, "That would solve my urgent need, but today is not convenient. I wonder if the young master can leave the old man's address or contact information."
Du Bingwen, knowing that he was not at ease, left behind Mr. Xia's address and did not say more. Just then, Lin Yipei came in from outside with a bunch of pastries.
Lu Bo glanced at her and smiled at Du Bingwen, "Truly siblings, both of you are so beautiful. There are no unparalleled beauties in the world, but you are both delightful to look at. It's a pity that I have something to attend to today and cannot chat with her at length."
This was the truth. If he could, Lu Bo really wanted to have a good conversation with such a beauty. But if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to handle Du Bingwen's words and had to make a quick getaway.
"There will be another chance in the future," Du Bingwen smiled.
Lu Bo hadn't figured out the meaning of this statement yet when he received a text message. After reading it, he was slightly stunned, but then quickly regained his composure, still looking relaxed and at ease. However, deep down he cursed, "It never rains but it pours."
Lu Bo got up and was about to leave, but then turned back and smiled, saying, "I'll come find you and your sister another day. I must take my leave for today." As he left, he looked back at Lin Yipei with a smile on his face.
Feeling a bit puzzled, Lin Yipei glanced at him and then returned to her brother, saying, "Mr. Xia asked us to find Lu Bo, didn't he? What are you doing here? But you guessed right, Lu Bo didn't go to the press conference, but where could he have gone?"
"Where could he have gone?" Du Bingwen smirked, his gentle and refined smile completely disappearing, replaced by a somewhat cold and faint smile. "Where could he go?"
"Don't bother looking, the one who just talked to us is him."
"The somewhat arrogant-looking young man?"
Lin Yipei tried hard to remember the person who had just left: "How did you know he would come here? Did you plan it?"
"I don't have that ability. I just knew he would come to Changzhou, so I wanted to come to Changzhou to see. As a result, I ran into him while having a coffee. It's really like finding something without searching for it, and it didn't take any effort to get it."
Lin Yipei looked a little puzzled, and Du Bingwen couldn't help but smile and said, "My silly little sister." Then he continued, "Lu Bo gained some fame at the age of 14 due to winning a physics competition. Although he came from this obscure little city, his knowledge was extraordinary. Despite his exceptional talent and passion for physics research, he also had some knowledge of Tang poetry and Song lyrics. His demeanor and conversation were quite impressive. He was also handsome and had a youthful spirit, so he became somewhat famous from the beginning."
Du Bingwen paused for a moment and then continued, "However, this person was aloof and rebellious. After his parents died in a car accident, he became depressed for a long time and disappeared from the public eye like a flash in the pan. At the age of 15, he was adopted by Mr. Zhou and began to research quantum physics, achieving great success. Of course, Mr. Zhou didn't adopt him for nothing. Although his own biological son had some achievements, he was no match for Lu Bo. Mr. Zhou placed Zhou Sheng by Lu Bo's side, making him a nominal research partner for Lu Bo. However, his son was not very capable in physics and couldn't keep up with Lu Bo. Over time, he became a foil to Lu Bo. However, from what I know, although Zhou Sheng lacks talent, his character is good, at least much better than his father's. So, although the outside world says he harbors resentment towards Lu Bo, their relationship is actually quite good."
"However, at the age of 19, which is this year, he launched the Atomic Disintegrator, and this invention quickly made him the target of public criticism."
