Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

144: 144. Professor Rose’s invitationLu Feng clicked his tongue in wonder, remarking, ”Look, what an emotionally intelligent answer. Simply perfect.”

This was also why he chose Yu Tianxiong; outstanding ability was one aspect, but what was even rarer was his absolute loyalty and executive power.

He smiled mysteriously into the phone and said, ”Don’t worry, I have my own arrangements for the materials and production issues. Oh, and you’ll be attending the annual China Technology Summit the day after tomorrow, won’t you?”

Yu Tianxiong nodded, ”Thanks to the debut of the Tianhua phone, Tingfeng Energy has become a focal point. The organizers have specifically invited Professor Qin Tian and me to attend and deliver a keynote speech.”

”Hmm, very good. Bring Tian Peng and a few of his most capable subordinates with you then, and have them follow you throughout,” Lu Feng added casually.

Hearing this, a glint flashed in Yu Tianxiong’s eyes. He guessed something and nodded, saying, ”Understood, sir.”

Lu Feng heard the seriousness in his tone and chuckled, ”Relax, it’s just... a precaution. Just attend the conference as usual.”

After ending the call with Yu Tianxiong, Lu Feng checked the time. There was still a while until his next class.

He packed his books and strolled out of the library.

The afternoon sun was just right, and a warm scene came into view on the lush green lawn in the distance.

Qin Tian and his family of three were laughing and playing on the garden path.

Qin Tian, shedding his usual disheveled, furrowed-brow laboratory appearance, was dressed in neat clothes, his face beaming with a relaxed, bright smile. He was playing a chasing game with his daughter, while his wife followed beside them, her face full of happiness.

Seeing this scene, Lu Feng also felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

The ultimate goal of technological success is to make people’s lives better, and this gave Lu Feng a unique sense of accomplishment.

Qin Tian also saw Lu Feng and instinctively stopped, wanting to walk over and greet him.

Lu Feng shook his head at him from a distance, gesturing with his eyes for him to continue spending time with his family and not bother coming over.

Qin Tian understood his meaning, nodded gratefully, and watched Lu Feng turn and leave.

”Husband, what are you looking at? Come on!”

”Yes, Daddy, come and catch me! You’re almost not fast enough!”

His wife and daughter’s calls brought Qin Tian back to reality. A brilliant smile reappeared on his face, and he loudly responded, ”Coming, coming! Daddy’s coming to catch you! Let’s see where you can run!”

”Ah ah ah! Mommy, help me~~~”

...The laughter behind him gradually faded, and Lu Feng’s lips unconsciously curved into a smile as he walked easily towards the teaching building.

As soon as he reached the corridor, he bumped into Professor Luo Ze, who was rushing from the other side, looking dusty, as if he had just returned to school.

As soon as Professor Luo Ze saw Student Lu, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly waved and called out, ”Student Lu! Perfect timing! Quick, come to my office, there’s a major development!”

Lu Feng was a little puzzled but still followed Professor Luo Ze into his office.

Professor Luo Ze held a thick folder of documents, his expression excited as he said, ”Lu Feng, do you remember the case we all discussed in class last time? The doll case, your deduction was simply brilliant. I immediately followed your lead to investigate.”

He flipped through the documents, showing them to Lu Feng as if communicating with a colleague.

”Although decades have passed, I went to the archives to investigate household registration records, coupled with extensive interviews. Finally, combining the memories of several old neighbors, it was indeed often seen that a reclusive child would sit on a bench for a long time in a daze. We finally narrowed it down to a family named Li.”

Professor Luo Ze spoke until his throat was dry, took a big gulp of water, and said proudly, ”But after decades, it wasn’t easy to find that family. Do you know where they were finally found?”

Lu Feng raised an eyebrow and pondered for a moment, ”A nursing home or a hospital?”

Professor Luo Ze, who had been feeling a bit smug, froze and sighed, ”You’re still so sharp. It was indeed in a nursing home, and a simple one in the suburbs of this city. His parents had passed away long ago, and he himself was suffering from late-stage liver cancer, with not much time left.”

”When facing police questioning, his mind was sometimes confused, sometimes clear. He just kept muttering, ’It’s good to be clean... it’s good to be clean...’ Although the outcome is regrettable, at least the truth has come out. Your observational and insightful abilities are the most impressive I’ve seen in my teaching career.”

Professor Luo Ze placed his hands on Lu Feng’s shoulders, his gaze burning, ”It would be a waste for someone as talented as you not to delve deeper into criminal psychology. I have already secured a direct PhD admission spot for you with the academy! You can skip the undergraduate stage and join my team directly for your doctorate! My team just happens to need a young person with your spiritual insight!”

”As long as you agree, in the future you can directly participate in assisting with more frontline cases. I guarantee that with your abilities, you will definitely make those criminals hiding in the dark have nowhere to hide and become a top talent in this field!”

It had only been a short time since the start of freshman year, yet he was already being offered a direct PhD admission spot. This was an extremely rare situation even in the nation’s top universities, which demonstrated the extent of Professor Luo Ze’s appreciation and high regard for Student Lu.

After listening, Lu Feng’s face did not show the surprise or excitement the professor had expected. He shook his head and smiled, ”Professor Luo Ze, thank you for your kindness, but I’m sorry to disappoint you. I enjoy observing people; it’s just a hobby. My aspirations are not in this field.”

Professor Luo Ze was stunned, not expecting such an answer. He quickly tried to persuade him, ”Why? Student Lu, your talent is one in a million; it would be such a waste. This is something many people dream of.”

Lu Feng said firmly, ”Professor Luo Ze, I’m very happy to be of a little help. In the future, if you encounter any interesting problems in your research, I would be happy to discuss them with you as a friend in my spare time.”

Professor Luo Ze opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but seeing the age-defying calmness and certainty in Lu Feng’s eyes, he knew that this young man’s decision was not an impulsive one.

Lu Feng politely thanked him again, then bid farewell and left the office.

Professor Luo Ze was left alone in the office, looking at his retreating back, filled with both regret and lament, ”Alas... The thoughts of a genius are always so unique. What a pity, what a great pity... The field of criminal psychology has missed a top genius...”

But deep down, he vaguely felt that the height this young man named Lu Feng could reach in the path he had chosen might far exceed his imagination.
