"You're awful!" Xia Xue could not help but spit out. Yet at the thought of becoming sisters with a great star, she found it rather wondrous too — she had simply never imagined that the pretty girl she had met by the seaside back then was the famous star Shu Ya!
Had she only known, she would have asked for an autograph back then... But then, at the thought that she would be living alongside Shu Ya for a long time to come, what need was there for an autograph? Wouldn't that just make people laugh at her? At this thought, Xia Xue shut her mouth again and said no more about it.
"By the way, Grandpa Sun, you still haven't said how you came to be enemies with the Center, with Dr. Banlin. Why are they targeting you?" Yang Minlan and Xia Xue smiled slightly, then turned to look at Sun Ce.
"I've told you, I find it extremely strange myself!" Sun Ce said. "Back in Songjiang City, I was quietly going about my scientific experiments, when all of a sudden a man named Banlin found me. He sought me out by name, which struck me as very odd!"
"Th-this... how did this man know about you? And how did he know you were in Songjiang City?" Yang Ce asked oddly.
"I don't know either..." Sun Ce smiled bitterly. "I'm not afraid of him, but this time I brought only a limited amount of technological products with me, not enough to be his match, so I didn't want any direct confrontation with them. But for some reason, they simply won't let me go. All these years they've been tracking my whereabouts, as if they're determined to find me..."
"This really is strange. Is Dr. Banlin insane? Why must he come after you for no reason at all?" Hearing Sun Ce's words, Yang Xutang found it rather unbelievable too. "Could it be because of those glasses you invented?"
"That's possible, but it seems it's not only that, because Dr. Banlin should be a remarkable scientist as well — only he's devoted all his energy to researching human potential. That Iron Man you mentioned is his line of research..." Sun Ce said.
"Line of research? From what I've observed so far, he seems to be a biochemist?" Yang Yanzhou said.
"A biochemist? A bionic man?" For some reason, a certain person suddenly came to Sun Ce's mind, but he shook his head and cast the thought aside. It seemed unlikely — he and Dr. Banlin should have no connection, and besides, Dr. Banlin was a foreigner.
"Yes, isn't that Iron Man a kind of bionic man?" Yang Yanzhou said. "Actually, someone like the Right Elder could basically be counted as a bionic man too, since he's already beyond the range of a normal human."
"That's true!" Sun Ce said. "But if you want to deal with Dr. Banlin, perhaps I can lend a hand! I can't do anything about the Right Elder, but on Dr. Banlin's side I can certainly help — after all, setting aside the matter of strength, scientific knowledge is also a key to victory."
"Then I'll thank you in advance, Grandpa Sun!" Hearing Sun Ce's words, Yang Xutang was overjoyed. With this Doctor of Science at his side to guide him, he felt all the more confident!
"Why thank me? Since he's targeting me, he's my enemy too. If I don't get rid of this lurking threat, I'll worry he might endanger little Yezi's safety!" Sun Ce said.
"Good, then it's settled!" Yang Yuting nodded. "Once things here are finished, when I go to deal with Dr. Banlin, I'll be sure to seek your advice."
"When the time comes, send me a signal through your glasses, or have little Yezi send one through the jade pendant — either way, I'll come find you," Sun Ce said.
"Oh? My glasses? They can send signals too? How do I do it?" Yang Yanchuan said.
"Just think about it and I'll receive it," Sun Ce said with a smile. "Every piece of information from your glasses is transmitted to me and processed in my computer. But I can set keyword alerts — for instance, if you think my name three times, Sun Ce, Sun Ce, Sun Ce, the computer will sound an alarm!"
