Chapter 1622: Chapter 773: Attack - Bounty

Night had fallen, and in the laboratory, an old man herded the teachers and students home like a shepherd driving sheep.

For most teachers and students, every minute and second they could spend on experiments was precious. In fact, many were aware that even if they were to enter a different lab in the future, where seniority mattered, the opportunities to participate in experiments would be scarce, and who knew how many years one might have to serve as an assistant.

And for more students, they would enter industries only slightly related to their majors, gradually returning all knowledge unrelated to work back to the university.

Therefore, each minute and second they could spend with these high-end instruments was to be cherished.

Speaking of the old man chasing them out, Yan Fei didn’t even know his name; he was recommended by Principal Zhou of the Agricultural University. Principal Zhou had said the man had a noteworthy identity, but being old and restless with a somewhat stubborn temperament, he did not want to live with his children and chose to work as a dormitory caretaker at the school alone.

How dedicated this caretaker was could be seen by the fact that when he left the school, students reportedly celebrated jubilantly, warmly sending off this earnest figure.

However, he was truly responsible. Now in the lab, he rarely interfered with anything except for faithfully holding the keys to open and lock the doors punctually. Except for special permission from Yan Fei, everyone had to leave on time. He was strict and impartial.

"Teacher Yu!" Zhao Xiyan walked out of the laboratory, jogging to catch up with a professor ahead. "I have a question..."

In the laboratory, operations were by-the-book; sometimes, when the teachers were conducting key experiments, students could only watch and dare not disturb them with questions. So, everybody had to jot down their questions to ask after the experiments were over.

Although the weather was getting a bit cold now, everyone was full of enthusiasm after coming out of the lab. Therefore, the walk back to the Agricultural University became a path for discussing scholarly questions.

Not only was Zhao Xiyan asking, but other students were also walking together with their respective teachers, discussing the problems encountered in the experiments as they went.

The time wasn’t too late, and if it were downtown, it would be the peak of bustle. However, on the road from the laboratory to the Agricultural University, there were hardly any people.

The students, while walking, occasionally engaged in spirited debates over certain issues, bringing a lively atmosphere to the usually quiet road. The teachers generally supported this, often only offering guidance after their students had finished their discussions.

For those used to the tranquility of this road, the appearance of this group in recent times was quite noticeable. Occasionally, passersby couldn’t help but glance at them a few times.

The students and teachers immersed in the ocean of scientific knowledge did not notice that tonight, across the street near the stinking ditch at the intersection, a motorcycle without a license plate and two helmet-clad individuals had been watching them since they emerged, never taking their eyes off them.

When the group had walked a distance away, the motorcyclist at the front started the engine, while his companion picked up a stick of some material from the side.

The motorcycle quickly accelerated and then roared as it chased after the group of teachers and students from behind.

Zhao Xiyan was in the middle of a heated debate with classmates and did not pay attention to the sound of the motorcycle behind him, simply moving towards the inner side of the road.

Since it was already evening, the pedestrian path by the road was shadowed by the trees, so everyone walked on the bike lane where the streetlights shone. But the road was wide, with four lanes each way plus the bike lane. Even if two large trucks were driving side by side, they wouldn’t be affected on this road, let alone a single motorcycle.

The accident happened at that moment.

Zhao Xiyan, who was still disdainfully commenting on his classmate’s question, sensed something wrong with the sound of the motorcycle and turned his head, only to feel his body being forcefully pushed aside, stumbling towards the fellow student next to him.

Then he heard the rushing sound of the motorcycle zooming past him, followed by several screams.

When he turned back, his eyes immediately reddened: "Teacher Yu, Teacher Yu are you okay?"

Teacher Yu, who was in his fifties and only moments ago smiling at their debate, was now lying on the ground...

"Call an ambulance, quickly call an ambulance..." Some students and teachers urgently shouted. "Who has a cell phone? Make the call quickly..."

"My phone is dead, there’s a payphone over there, who can run fast, go quickly..." a teacher yelled.

Back then, cell phones were less common, and even those who carried them used them sparingly due to expensive call rates. University teachers didn’t earn much, and even those with cell phones usually carried phone cards and mostly relied on them.

Moreover, charging phones was inconvenient, and most people who went out with a cell phone seldom brought a charger.

Several students ran swiftly towards the payphone, one ready to insert a phone card, but Zhao Xiyan had already picked up the phone and was dialing 120, starting to speak...

The nearest place was the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and due to fewer cars at night, the ambulance arrived very quickly.

At this moment, a few girls were already crying softly, and the boys were extremely indignant. Who would have thought that they, a group dedicated to research, would encounter such an incident!

Meanwhile, Yan Fei was in the cinema, eyes fixed on the movie screen, holding his wife’s hand, and constantly whispering, "Let’s go together, let’s go together, let’s go together..."
