944 Yiyi, Something Happened to the Batch of Diamonds We Imported

Zi Yi stood there and looked at them arguing without saying anything.

However, she used her brain waves and connected to Shadow. “Copy all the data of the experiments they had conducted before.”

Sometime later, Zi Yi saw that they still had opposing opinions and so, she said to the Third Princess, “I won’t look at the results of the experiments you guys have conducted before. Why don’t you work on it now.”

The Third Princess understood the overall situation and knew that her father wanted to forge a good relationship with Lu Jingye and Zi Yi.

However, her group members were all dragging her back. She could not possibly use her position to pressure them either. Following that, she thought of showing Zi Yi the data in private after this and so, she agreed to her suggestion.

The other professors could not possibly offend the Third Princess either and they went to make the necessary preparations.

Their experiment objects were a few pieces of diamonds.

Zi Yi stood next to the Third Princess and asked, “Before you guys received these diamonds, how many people had been infected with the virus?”

“Not many.” The Third Princess answered, “Only two people were infected by this virus. It was discovered only when they had been wearing the diamond necklace for several days and accidentally received an open wound. Both of them just so happen to be my friends so the professors and I set up this research group.”

People who studied medicine were very sensitive in this aspect. When the Third Princess discovered that her friends were suffering from such terrifying symptoms, she subconsciously thought that there was definitely a problem. And so, she gathered a team together and underwent a thorough examination. Only to find out that the virus was transmitted to them through the diamonds.

Moreover, she managed to resolve and stopped the transmission of this news.

The reason why she was telling Zi Yi all this was because Country M really wanted to befriend Zi Yi.

“After that, we examined more than hundreds of individuals who wore diamonds originating from different places. We discovered that only diamonds from South Africa had this virus.”

The Third Princess was telling Zi Yi too much and the other professors wanted to remind her to keep the information confidential.

However, they could not tell the Third Princess to shut up just like that. Therefore, Melina purposely found something for the Third Princess to do. “Professor Isa, we need your help here.”

In the following period of time, as long as the Third Princess was about to delve in deeper and touch on sensitive information, the other four professors would find all sorts of excuses to divert her attention.

Zi Yi originally wanted to ask for more information related to this virus. However, when she saw that they were unwilling to say, she was not in the mood to ask further.

She stood there and watched the five of them conduct the experiment.

The equipment they had here was considered pretty good, but it was crude from Zi Yi’s point of view. In particular their experimental techniques were simply an eyesore for her.

Unknowingly, an hour had passed.

Zi Yi saw that their progress was slowing down and knew that they were going to fail soon. In the end, she kindly suggested. “Why don’t all of you have a rest first.”

The Third Princess thought that Zi Yi was feeling bored standing there and so, she agreed.

Zi Yi and the Third Princess went to take a rest in the lounge.

The other four professors said they weren’t tired and so, they continued with the experiment.

The moment they left, Melina’s expression sank. “I really wonder what Professor Isa is thinking. How can she allow an outsider to spectate the experiment, not to mention a Chinese national? If she were to steal our important experimental data, bring it back to her country and get their country’s scientists to summarize our experiments’ results, they would be able to achieve concrete results very soon. In that case, all the glory would belong to them.”

Bently agreed with Melina. “I think so too. Our country finally has a medical experimental project that is ahead of other countries. How could we let an outsider take advantage just like this?”

“Then what should we do? Professor Isa is a princess and we can’t possibly stop her from passing the data to Zi Yi.”

“Why don’t we have a discussion with Professor Isa? This is something that concerns the whole team and I don’t believe she would stick to her standpoint with the four of us opposing it.”

“I think it’s feasible. Melina, find a way to bring Zi Yi out for a walk later and the rest of us will have a chat with Professor Isa.”

“Ok.”

…

In the rest area.

The Third Princess said apologetically to Zi Yi, “I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault that I didn’t explain to them clearly in advance, which led to their behavior toward you.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Zi Yi did not take it to heart. “This is human nature. It’s normal that they would not want me to learn of your experimental results.”

The Third Princess felt that Zi Yi was being polite and she got even more angry at the other professors.

All the experiments they had conducted previously failed and after she finally managed to invite Zi Yi over, what she intended was for Zi Yi to provide a different opinion. However, these people turned against her at this crucial junction.

If she had known earlier, she would not have called for them but instead, brought Zi Yi straight to the laboratory to take a look.

At the thought of this, she decided to lure them away later.

“Zi Yi, have a seat here first. I’ll go to the washroom for a moment.”

She planned to have a talk with the professors.

Zi Yi sat there and waited for a short while, when her phone suddenly rang.

The phone call was from Lu Jingye.

His voice sounded very serious. “Yiyi, something happened to the batch of diamonds we imported.”

Zi Yi already had a hunch something would happen, but she did not expect it to happen so soon. “Is it serious?”

Lu Jingye said, “The bodies of many noble ladies in Europe’s high society are in rigidity… Just moments ago, news that this disease is related to our jewelry was spread all over Europe.”

Zi Yi furrowed her eyebrows. “Why wasn’t I aware of this?”

She had gotten Shadow to keep an eye on the online trends but Shadow did not report anything to her.

“It was not spread on the internet. Someone spread this news directly in high society circles within European countries.”

Speaking of this, Lu Jingye also then said, “Find a way to return right away. It’s unsafe outside.”

Zi Yi was not worried about being in danger, but she still agreed. “Alright, I’ll come back right away.”

“Mhmm.”

…

It was as though a severe infectious disease had broken out overnight in the high societies of Europe. Moreover, the infectious disease was all spread from the various noble ladies.

This type of infectious disease was extremely contagious and it spread around very quickly. The most obvious symptom was that one’s body would slowly turn rigid.

Originally, everyone had no idea of the root cause, but all of a sudden someone said that there was something wrong with Song Jewelry’s diamonds.

The infectious disease spreading among the noble ladies would certainly attract great attention and so, the upper echelons within various countries immediately ordered for an examination of the jewelry from Song Jewelry.

The results of the test was that all of their diamond jewelry carried the virus.

In a mere short span of an afternoon, all the Song Jewelry outlets were sealed.

At the same time, Lu Jingye had been summoned by the courts of various countries, as he had been sued.

Moreover, at this crucial moment, the equipment Zi Yi needed had yet to arrive.

“Cousin, what should we do? If this continues, I feel that the King of Country M would hand you over.”

It was already night time by then and Zi Yi and the rest were in the winery.

When Zi Yi left the medical university in the afternoon and returned to the winery, Country M received summons from various countries. The summons were all asking for them not to interfere, or else they would make Country M regret.

Country M could only be considered a developing country and it was still lagging far behind compared to those developed, powerhouse countries.

Therefore, it was still unknown whether the King would protect them or not.
