My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 93 An Lan (13)

The next day, Zhuang Xiao originally planned to take Shu Die with him so that he could keep a low profile.

But Shu Die thought this wouldn't work, and finally decided to bring two more bodyguards.

The group of four drove the Cullinan onto the highway and headed towards Wen County.

Because there was a bodyguard as the driver this time, Shu Die sat in the back seat with Zhuang Xiao.

She took out the tablet, opened it and handed it to Zhuang Xiao, "Brother Xiao, this is the information about An Lan that you asked me to investigate."

Zhuang Xiao took it and immediately clicked on the information inside.

【An Lan, female, 84 years old. 】

[He graduated with a Ph.D. from MIT at the age of 20, returned to China in secret after graduation, and in the same year led the development of the world's first high-speed computer that could perform over 5000 million operations per second.]

[Later, my country successfully conducted atomic bomb explosions, short-range and medium-range ground-to-ground strategic missiles, and hydrogen bomb explosions in 1961, 1962, and 1963, respectively. In 1965, China successfully launched the first artificial satellite, Dongfanghong-. This computer played an important role in all these experiments and was hailed as my country's "meritorious machine."]

[He retired in 1999 and was introduced by his disciple Xu Guoping to serve as the principal of Dongfang No. 2012 Middle School. He resigned in and later established a research institute. The research project is unknown.]

[In 2017, his team developed a drug to treat amblyopia, but it is still under experimentation.]

[In 2024, the drug will be approved and will enter phase I clinical trials. ]

[She never married and devoted her life to the development and progress of science and technology in my country.]

Zhuang Xiao was surprised. "Is this a super boss? How come I have never heard of him?"

The names of top giants like the two bombs and one satellite have been recorded in textbooks since he was a child. He has been exposed to them since he was a child and has already memorized them by heart.

But he had never heard of this Ms. An Lan before.

"It is said that he voluntarily requested to remain anonymous and refused any awards or honors. He was probably the kind of old man who just wanted to work anonymously all his life." Shu Die replied.

In fact, she didn't know either.

Zhuang Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Then why did she suddenly come to Luoyang to be the principal of an ordinary key middle school?"

"I don't know about that. I asked my dad to find the information." Shu Die scratched her cheek. "Maybe it's just like what the information says. She retired, and then her apprentice Xu Guoping invited her, so she came~"

"may be."

Is it really that simple?
Zhuang Xiaoke doesn't believe it!
There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary! He felt that there must be something wrong with this Mr. An Lan!

"And I don't believe such an outstanding old man would accept a guy like Xu Guoping as his disciple."

"Maybe it's because I don't know people well. In ancient times, many wise rulers had sons who turned out to be incompetent rulers." Shu Die shrugged. "The more outstanding and busy the parents are, the more they will ignore the education and feelings of their children. Their demands are always very high, and the younger generation may even develop a rebellious mentality."

She could relate to this.

If Brother Xiao hadn't pulled her out of her self-isolation, who knows what she would be like now.

"Forget it, we'll know when we get there anyway."

To be honest, when Zhuang Xiao read the information, he always felt that there was a strong sense of incongruity somewhere, but he couldn't put his finger on it for the moment.

Anyway, things will work out when the time comes. You'll know when you meet that person.

In fact, after reading the other party's resume, Zhuang Xiao did not want to doubt the other party rationally.

But no matter how you look at it, the other party's behavior is a bit suspicious.

And could it be that the sample of the amblyopia treatment drug was also obtained from Gu Shiyue or Xu Guoping?
Otherwise, why would she, a computer researcher, change direction and research a drug to treat amblyopia decades later?
According to this, the other party is at least an "accomplice"!
However, Zhuang Xiao still decided to meet the other party first, and maybe Dong Weirui could screen out someone who meets the requirements better.

Putting away the tablet, Zhuang Xiao yawned, "Xiaodie, call me when we get to Wen County. I'll take a nap."

"Okay, go to sleep, Brother Xiao."

Shu Die agreed readily, but did not get a response from Zhuang Xiao. She glanced sideways and found that Zhuang Xiao had closed his eyes and his breathing had become much calmer.

He has fallen asleep.

Shu Die's starry eyes were filled with heartache. She gently instructed the bodyguard in front, "Slow down the speed a little, let Brother Xiao sleep a little longer."

"Yes, miss." The driver in front nodded slightly, then slowed down the car slightly.
-
When Zhuang Xiao was awakened by Shu Die, they had already arrived in Wen County, and the car was parked in the hotel parking lot arranged in advance by Xu Qicheng.

After Zhuang Xiao got out of the car, he saw Xu Qicheng jogging over breathlessly. "Boss Zhuang, I'm really sorry. This is a small county town, and this is the best hotel."

Zhuang Xiao held him helplessly, "Teacher Xu, are you being distant now? You even called me Xiao Zhuang in the hotel before."

Teacher Xu is different now that he has become a leader. In the previous timeline, when he was plastering at the construction site, he could still calmly call himself "Xiao Zhuang", but now that he has become a school leader, he has started to call himself "Mr. Zhuang".

"There are outsiders here." Xu Qicheng's face did not show any sadness over the death of his father. Instead, he was beaming with joy.

Zhuang Xiao couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart.

Look at how much evil Xu Guoping has done.

When the old beast was alive, Teacher Xu was in as much pain as a walking corpse. But after his death, Teacher Xu was able to get rid of his inner demons and live a carefree life.

"Outsider?" Zhuang Xiao looked around and saw men with flat heads and wearing black suits and headsets standing in every hidden corner.

You can tell at a glance that these people are from the military.

He was startled, "Is he Professor An's bodyguard?"

"That's Professor An's retirement package. We can't envy it." Xu Qicheng patted his shoulder cheerfully. "I told Professor An about you before. She really wants to meet you."

"What a coincidence. I also want to see her." Zhuang Xiao narrowed his eyes. "Do we have to meet her at the funeral?"

"There's no need to be so formal. Professor An wants to meet with you privately." Xu Qicheng led him into the hotel. "Professor An has been arranged in a business suite on the top floor. Your room is next to hers, also a business suite. I'll take you back to your room first, and we'll talk about the meeting later."

Zhuang Xiao, Shu Die and two bodyguards followed Xu Qicheng into the elevator while chatting.

When the elevator reached the eighth floor and opened its door, everyone except Zhuang Xiao was stopped by two bodyguards standing at the door.

"I'm sorry, Professor An only wants to see Mr. Zhuang."

Xu Qicheng nodded immediately, "No problem, I'm in the lobby on the first floor, Xiaozhuang, you can call me anytime."

Zhuang Xiao said "hmm", turned around and gave Shu Die, who was pouting indignantly, a reassuring look. Shu Die then retreated back to the elevator with the two bodyguards who were about to take action, very unhappy.

After the elevator door closed, the "bodyguards" did not search him. After all, they also knew Zhuang Xiao's identity.

Then they politely led Zhuang Xiao to the suite and knocked on the door gently.

Soon the door opened, and a pretty girl in a nurse's uniform was stunned when she saw Zhuang Xiao's face. She blushed slightly, then lowered her head and left the room, saying softly, "The professor is waiting for you."

"Thank you."

Zhuang Xiao nodded slightly and walked into the room.

The door closed behind him.

Zhuang Xiao looked up and saw a wheelchair next to the floor-length bed. A thin figure with gray hair was sitting on it with his back to him, looking at the scenery outside the window.

Hearing the noise behind her, she turned her wheelchair, and Zhuang Xiao saw her face in real life for the first time.

The wrinkles on the old man's face seemed like the remnants of time, but his still faintly visible elegance and grace had transformed into his gentleness and elegance at this moment.

Especially those eyes, which were bright and clear, as if they were always smiling, and for a moment made Zhuang Xiao feel a little familiar.

This is... that An Lan.
