Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

Ning Chen felt that there might be a close connection behind these things.

Ning Chen tried to think about these things from their perspective, and soon thought of some possible situations.

"Among these new international students...could there be someone responsible for delivering certain things to Kim Pierce?"

The reason why Ning Chen made such an inference was that if it were him, he might make such a choice.

With Pierce's current ability, even if he has a reason to attack himself, he may not have the ability to successfully attack him.

After all, Pierce has not received any professional training, he is just an ordinary student, and his combat effectiveness is almost negligible.

But if Pierce can get a powerful weapon, the situation will become completely different.

"Maybe... a certain international student's mission this time is to deliver a certain weapon to Pierce."

In fact, in addition to international students, others can also do this, but Ning Chen still feels that international students are more likely to perform this task.

Because Kim Pierce rarely leaves Shengzhou University, if Pierce suddenly leaves Shengzhou University and meets with a certain person, it will easily arouse the suspicion of Ning Chen and others.

As for meeting at Shengzhou University, it is tantamount to self-reporting one's identity.

And if you meet as an international student, everything will seem very natural, because meetings between international students are very common and will not make people feel strange.

Under such circumstances, quietly handing an item to Pierce would hardly attract anyone else's attention.

Thinking of this possibility, Ning Chen thought about how they would attack him.

"If we reason in this direction...it should be some kind of poison, or some other new type of weapon that is not easy to attract attention."

Ning Chen thinks that this method is more likely. For example, some colorless and odorless substances that can cause serious damage can be used in relatively small doses.

But in fact, it was relatively easy for Ning Chen to detect it this way.

Ever since Ning Chen realized that he was facing a greater risk, Ning Chen had paid great attention to his diet and would never consume food or water that was of unknown origin or even out of his sight.

Coupled with Xiaozhi's information sensing and safety protection functions, once any dangerous substance approaches Ning Chen, Xiaozhi will immediately remind Ning Chen to minimize the probability of Ning Chen encountering danger.

"If it's some other new type of weapon... it's really not easy to deal with."

For example, for some new weapons that have not yet appeared publicly in the world, Xiaozhi may not even be able to identify the true purpose of these things. Ning Chen still needs to analyze them by combining his information perception function.

Ning Chen warned himself in his heart that he must be extra careful during this period and always monitor those people and things that may be dangerous.

…

"Sir, we have successfully brought 'Hair' to the Xia Kingdom. Now Irina Falk has arrived at Shengzhou University, and 'Hair' is also being carried by Falk, making sure that it will not be used by anyone. Detected by the instrument.”

"Okay, let Falk not take any urgent action and continue her study abroad life as normal. Now we can consider taking action against Pierce's mother. With this card in hand, we don't have to worry about being unable to do anything. Get a grip on Pierce."

The importance of Pierce's mother to Pierce is self-evident. For his mother, Pierce would even risk his own life.

"Understood, sir, we will start preparing our actions now."

It is a very easy thing for them to control a defenseless woman, not to mention that they have been planning this matter for a long time, and they only need to execute it according to the original plan.

After getting ready, several men arrived at the residence where Pierce's mother was staying.

"You guys, who are you?"

"Is this Tyler Pierce?"

"Yes, that's me."

"Your son is Kim Pierce, studying abroad at Shengzhou University in Xia Kingdom, right?"

"Yes, how do you know?"

"That's right, we are from the American FBI. There are some things about your son Kim Pierce that we need to confirm with you. Please cooperate with our work."

As they spoke, several people showed their IDs to prove that they were indeed employees of the FBI.

Although Tyler Pierce was a little surprised when he heard what these people said, he did not dare to refuse their orders.

After all, they were members of the American FBI. If he didn't cooperate with them, he might be forcibly taken away.

"I can cooperate with you, but I want to ask, did something happen to my son?"

"You can rest assured that nothing happened. It's just a routine investigation."

"Okay, wait until I pack my things and I'll follow you."

Tyler Pierce was about to confirm the matter with Kim Pierce on the phone, but he was blocked by the FBI.

"Ms. Pierce, you are not allowed to have contact with your son until the situation is investigated. But please rest assured that everything will return to normal when we complete the investigation."

"Hmm...okay then."

Taylor Pierce still had a lot of doubts in her mind at this time, but since this was blocked by the FBI, she did not dare to disobey their orders.

Tyler Pierce hoped in his heart that this was all just a misunderstanding, and that after a short investigation, these misunderstandings could be solved quickly.

…

Some time after Tyler Pierce was taken away, Ning Chen received an abnormal report from Xiaozhi.

[Master, it has been detected that Tyler Pierce has left his residence for a long time, and may have encountered some emergencies]

After receiving Xiaozhi's message, Ning Chen also paid great attention to it, knowing that the situation might be developing in the direction that he was worried about.

Because the distance is too far, Xiaozhi cannot directly know the details of Taylor Pierce, and can only speculate on some of her current status through various information.

If Ning Chen guessed correctly, the period in the future will be the most dangerous period for him.

"I don't know when Kim Pierce will hand over items to someone. Xiaozhi, continue to increase the level of monitoring Kim Pierce. Please report to me at any time if there is any situation."

[Okay, Master, Xiaozhi will strictly follow your requirements]

Since Kim Pierce usually stayed on the campus of Shengzhou University, theoretically Ning Chen could monitor all of Kim Pierce's actions.

Star Technology's quantum cloud network is very powerful, and many capabilities have not been made public. As long as it is an area covered by the quantum cloud network, Xiaozhi can detect all kinds of information.

Ning Chen didn't know what choice Kim Pierce would make if he really faced a choice, but Ning Chen still had to try his best to avoid this situation from happening.

In addition to his own safety, Ning Chen also thought about Tyler Pierce.

It is almost impossible to rescue Tyler Pierce safely now. On the one hand, Ning Chen knows too little about the relevant information, such as where Tyler Pierce is currently hidden and by whom. Get up and wait, Ning Chen hasn't learned the details yet.

On the other hand, it is even more difficult to complete such a rescue abroad.

Realizing the difficulty of this matter, Ning Chen felt that he had to take a long-term approach to find the best way to solve the problem.

"If Kim Pierce fails to successfully complete their mission, his mother will remain safe. But if the mission is completed, both he and his mother will be completely useless and will become unsafe..."

Thinking of this logical relationship, Ning Chen suddenly had a bold idea.

"How about... stop Kim Pierce's actions first, let Kim Pierce pretend to report that the operation failed, and report to the organization that I am going to space. In this way, they can target me in space The exploration mission is up..."

In this way, it will not only have the effect of delaying the attack, but also create more opportunities for Ning Chen to rescue Tyler Pierce.

The reason why Ning Chen cares so much about Tyler Pierce's safety is because Ning Chen likes Kim Pierce's talent very much and doesn't want Kim Pierce to become a poor victim because of this incident.

In addition, even without Pierce's appearance, Ning Chen would still be in danger. Ning Chen could not just avoid it, but had to face the matter bravely to completely get out of this dangerous situation.

…

In the foreign student dormitory, Kim Pierce was looking at the computer, studying the data from today's experiment.

After coming to study at Shengzhou University, Kim Pierce has always maintained a very diligent attitude. He will take the initiative to work overtime in the laboratory every night. After returning to the dormitory, Pierce will continue to work until after midnight. rest.

At this moment, Pierce's mailbox suddenly received an email.

After opening the content in the email, Pierce was stunned for a moment.

"Isn't this...my mother?"

Pierce only saw his mother appearing in a place he had never seen before, seemingly imprisoned.

Pierce first wondered if this was a scam, but when he thought that he had not contacted his mother in the past few days, he felt that the matter was not that simple.

"They... locked up my mother. What on earth are they going to do?"

Pierce had never expected such a situation to happen, and he felt very overwhelmed for a moment.

Pierce even wanted to call the police immediately, but the email specifically reminded Pierce not to tell anyone about the incident, otherwise his mother would be in trouble soon.

"By the way...Teacher Ning should be able to find a solution!"

In Pierce's mind, Ning Chen was an omnipotent being. Whether it was scientific research problems or other matters, Ning Chen could solve them easily.

Just when Pierce was considering whether to tell Ning Chen about this matter, Pierce's phone suddenly rang.

After taking a look at the location of the call, Pierce knew that this call was probably directly related to the email just now.

With this suspicion, Pierce answered the call.

"The next time you meet Irina Falk, she will give you something. Use this thing to end Ning Chen's life, and your mother can be saved."

"This...why is this? Wait a minute..."

Pierce was about to ask in detail what the specific situation was, but the call over there had already been hung up.

After calming down, Pierce realized that he could not tell Ning Chen about this matter.

"This matter... I'm afraid it is not something that Teacher Ning can solve. And if I tell Teacher Ning about this matter, it means that I will have no way out."

Pierce felt that it was better for him to comply with their requirements and meet with Irina Falk first, and then decide on the subsequent arrangements.

Irina Faulk is an international student who just came to Shengzhou University this year. Because of the international students in Millikin, there will be some gatherings of international students from time to time, and everyone knows each other.

Pierce was quite impressed with this blond girl, and even had some favorable impressions.

But Pierce didn't expect that this girl's true identity was not just an international student.

"But... so to speak, my own identity is not as pure as I originally imagined..."

At this moment, Pierce also understood why his application to study abroad was approved so easily.

When I first had the idea of ​​going to Shengzhou University to study abroad, I was rejected for a while. But one day later, the result was suddenly reversed.

Pierce thought that his persistent application worked. He just wanted to come to Ning Chen and learn some cutting-edge knowledge in materials science.

And when Pierce completes his studies, he will still return to Milicia, and will not stay in Xia Kingdom forever as some people said.

Only now did Pierce understand that long before he came to Xia Kingdom, he had already become a pawn in someone's chess game.

Thinking of his current situation, Pierce couldn't help but feel very sad for himself.

"If I had known this would happen, it would be better not to come to Xia Country in the first place."

Pierce didn't want to hurt Ning Chen. In Pierce's heart, Ning Chen was a god-like existence.

However, if compared with his mother, it is really difficult for Pierce to make a choice.

After all, this is the person that he worked so hard to raise and is now Pierce's only relative.
