Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Never Drive Again in the Future_1

At this moment, seeing Chen Donglai joking and laughing with a young man as they walked out together, everyone felt as if they might be hallucinating.

"This is an illusion, right?"

"Why don’t you give yourself a slap?"

"Alright... Ouch, seems quite painful."

"I told you to hit yourself, why did you hit me?!"

Chen Donglai, however, paid no mind to the students’ reactions. The reason he agreed to go check the situation with Ning Fan was firstly due to his granddaughter’s face.

Secondly, it was because he was indeed very interested in the situation described by Ning Fan.

As an expert in human cryogenic technology, he had never encountered a case where someone naturally remained in a cryogenically frozen state without dying.

As for those rumors in the scientific community, about people frozen in the polar glaciers, they were all in fact dead.

Upon exiting the lab, the young woman who had been there earlier immediately came up to greet them but her expression changed slightly at the sight of Chen Donglai.

"Professor Chen..."

She bowed her head in a somewhat guilty manner.

Before she could say anything, she heard Professor Chen’s authoritative voice above her.

"You have been my student for a while now, but it seems to me you’re not quite cut out to be my student. I will recommend you to another mentor later."

Having said that, he turned and left.

The young woman stood rooted to the spot, her body swaying twice before she almost fell to the ground.

Professor Chen spoke lightly, as if it were simple to just find another mentor.

But the young woman knew all too well that if she left Professor Chen’s tutelage, no other mentors would take her on, mainly due to Professor Chen’s influence.

She wanted to follow him but was stopped by a cold glance from Chen Yi, so she had to stop in her tracks.

...

Soon, the three of them arrived outside the school gates, got into Ning Fan’s car, and headed straight for the suburban villa.

"Professor Chen, do hold on tight."

Before driving off, Ning Fan made sure to remind them earnestly.

Professor Chen chuckled and waved his hand, "Just drive, I’ve ridden in fast cars for many years."

Chen Yi also confidently proclaimed, "Racing is what I love. Don’t worry about scaring us."

Hearing this, Ning Fan didn’t say anything further, started up the luxury car, and pressed down on the gas pedal.

Then, the people at the campus gate saw smoke rising, and the car zoomed away at an astonishing speed.

...

Twenty minutes later.

"We’ve arrived, you two... um, if you need to throw up, don’t hold it back."

Upon hearing Ning Fan’s words, the two couldn’t hold back any longer. They rushed out of the car and crouched by the roadside, vomiting profusely.

After struggling for a full five minutes, they barely managed to straighten up.

"Whew... Do you always drive like this?" Chen Donglai wiped his mouth with a tissue, asking with lingering fear.

Ning Fan shook his head. "I don’t usually drive. Most of the time, I walk."

Strictly speaking, his current speed had already far exceeded that of most transportation methods in this world.

"Ning Fan, take my advice, you should never drive again," Chen Yi, unable to hold back, patted Ning Fan’s shoulder and then threw up some more on the side.

Finally feeling a little better, the grandparent and grandchild exchanged glances, fear still evident in their eyes.

Not to exaggerate, but they had thought they might crash into a building by the roadside at any moment.

"Ning Fan, take me to see this Miss Xu who you say is frozen," said Chen Donglai, taking a deep breath to suppress the nausea, and returning to the matter at hand.

Ning Fan, being worried, hurriedly led the two into the villa.

Upstairs, Su Qingcheng heard the commotion and came down to greet them.

"Professor Chen, long time no see."

Chen Donglai pondered for a moment before recalling Su Qingcheng’s identity. "I didn’t expect to find Miss Su here."

"Yourong is my friend, and it was I who suggested that Ning Fan seek you out," explained Su Qingcheng. "It was impromptu to ask you over; I hope you’ll forgive us."

"It’s not a problem, as researchers we should not miss any opportunities to investigate," responded Chen Donglai politely.

Although Su Qingcheng didn’t hold much power within the Su Family, the family’s influence was still greater than the Chen Family’s. Despite being a Qingbei Ph.D., Chen Donglai would not put on airs.

After going upstairs, Xu Yourong’s ice sculpture lay quietly on the bed, like a Sleeping Beauty from a fairy tale.

"Incredible..."

The moment Chen Donglai saw Xu Yourong, his eyes widened as if he had witnessed a miracle.

He sat by the bed, scrutinizing Xu Yourong’s ice sculpture, his exclamations of amazement incessant. He even took out several intricate instruments, and began a meticulous study of Xu Yourong’s frozen form.

It was a full hour later that Chen Donglai finally stood up and let out a long sigh.

"Professor Chen, did you find anything?"

Ning Fan approached eagerly, his face full of urgency.

Chen Donglai rubbed his eyes, tucked the instruments back into his jacket, and stood up, saying, "The explanation might take some time, let’s go downstairs and talk slowly."

Seeing as Chen Donglai had said as much, Ning Fan had no choice but to patiently follow him to the living room on the first floor.

The group seated themselves, and after Chen Donglai collected his thoughts, he began to speak slowly.
