"Uncle, I'm not an ingrate." Huo Tian explained seriously, "The most important factor in the birth of a scientific research result is people, not those expensive instruments. I'm very grateful that you're willing to pay to build this high-end laboratory, but I can't give away the research results that I worked so hard for to someone with bad intentions."

"In Huo Tian's eyes, who here doesn't have ill intentions towards you?" He Yu sneered. "Your school's management treats you so preciously and protects you. These board members also treat you like a treasure, but you think that we all have ill intentions towards you. Isn't this too heartless?"
