Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure

Chapter 152: The Road Back Home (Part 2)

"What? Ask them to help organize an academic conference?"

Bai Xi raised his head in surprise and said to Yang Ru in front of him.

“Yes, you can, but why?”

"So that some of the wanderers of our motherland can return to our embrace."

Yang Ru responded seriously.

......

After getting rid of Neil, Zhang Rizheng always felt uneasy. He vaguely felt that the conversation just now might lead to some bad consequences.

Until now, he has never made public the news that he is going to return to China to start a business. With his teacher as a role model, he is well aware that for certain forces, the return of someone like him is an absolutely sensitive event, and they will face great risks.

Why did I bump into Neil on the last day...

That's not right. This lobbyist obviously came for himself, so he chose this time specifically.

Zhang Richeng couldn't figure out the key, but felt that the matter might be more important, so he chose to call for external assistance.

About an hour later, Zhang Lichang met Ho Chun-kong in a private room of a high-end restaurant in Boston. Ho Chun-kong had been running around for this matter recently and had rarely returned to Hong Kong.

Ho Chun-kong was his contact with the Ho family, but what surprised him was that there was another stranger at the table, a young Chinese man about 30 years old.

Zhang Richeng was unsure and said hesitantly, "Who is this...?"

The man extended his hand: "Hello, Professor Zhang, my name is Fan Tuo, you can call me Tony."

"Hello, I'll just call you Fanto..."

Even in the United States, the name Tony is a bit overused.

Fok Chun-kong said, "Fantuo is someone we can completely trust. He will provide us with some...professional advice. I'm not talking about semiconductors or technology, but about..."

“How to return to the country safely....”

Zhang Richeng's eyes lit up. As he expected, there were deeper connections behind the Huo family. Was this foreign aid sent from his hometown?

"Agent? Intelligence officer? Undercover?"

Fan Tuo felt a little embarrassed. He was just an ordinary civil servant from the Magic City Security Bureau, working under Director Lin...

Incidentally, my national exam score was in the top 0.1% nationwide.

"Um...neither. You can think of me as your security advisor."

"Oh, okay, okay, I understand. Mr. Huo Zhengang just said 'return safely to China'. Are we facing some... danger?"

Fan Tuo and Huo Zhengang looked at each other, Huo Zhengang nodded slightly, and signaled Fan Tuo to speak.

"It's like this. We've got some information. Your actions this time have been quite dramatic, especially in terms of the number of people involved. They've far exceeded the danger threshold..."

"I'm afraid this has already alerted relevant forces. As you know... Historically, Chinese scientists returning to China haven't had a smooth journey, so we must take precautions..."

Zhang Chengri nodded and agreed: "You are right. By the way, I just encountered something..."

He recounted his meeting with Neil in detail. Fanto then inquired about many more details. Finally, with a serious expression and a frown, he said, "I'm afraid we've alerted the enemy... This Neil is also in our records. He is indeed a man with a complicated background."

"Now what?"

"The original plan for you was to charter a plane back home, but that's definitely not appropriate now. If you do that, you'll probably be detained in the US mainland... That would be very troublesome... But we have a plan B..."

Zhang Richeng's eyes lit up: "Please go ahead."

"We asked a lady to have one of her foundations cooperate with us in putting on a show."

"In a few days, this foundation will hold an international academic conference. We can use the organizer's name to send invitations to the people you are looking for."

"They are scattered across the United States. As long as they split up and attend academic conferences in small groups, they shouldn't arouse the vigilance of relevant forces. They can then return to the United States via the conference venue."

"As long as the first half of the journey can go smoothly out of the mainland of the United States, the second half of the flight will be in a third country, which will be much more convenient."

Zhang Richeng thought that things would be easier if he was organized!

Directly manipulating an international academic conference is the most legitimate reason for technical people like them.

But then he became a little worried: "Is this foundation convincing enough? Will it cause any other problems?"

"Don't worry, the Black Rose Foundation has been hosting academic conferences since the last century. It's definitely influential enough."

"And just in case, we also used some tricks and offered some benefits to get some forces within the Eagle Sauce to participate, to conceal our true purpose."

"Muddy waters make it easier to fish."

Zhang Richeng finally felt relieved and nodded. "I think this plan is great. Where is this international academic conference?"

"Marai!"

......

"Marai?"

Bai Xi frowned. The name seemed to have awakened some bad memories, but she couldn't remember them for a while.

He simply stopped thinking about it and said to Yang Ru, "That's no problem. I will authorize Xiao Rui. Just tell him what needs to be done and then have him notify Leo Stov."

Yang Ru bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you for your understanding. I will go talk to Silver Fox now."

"etc....."

Bai Xi rubbed his brows and said, "I suddenly thought of a question. Last time, they planted so many eyes around me, and you pulled them all out. Are you sure my bottom line hasn't been exposed?"

"Assuming I'm already within their sight, why do I feel like if you mobilize the Black Rose Foundation, it will only alert those forces, and the danger will only increase, not decrease?"

Yang Ru paused as he stood up, looked at her in surprise, and felt a little emotional.

"Miss Bai, with your thinking ability and sense of smell, it would be a shame if you didn't join the Secret Service."

"Don't worry, we have also considered the issue you mentioned. So this time, we will use some overseas connections and sacrifice some interests to muddy the waters."

"The Black Rose Foundation has held international academic conferences around this time in previous years. We've simply changed the venue. Even if they have any suspicions, they won't be able to grasp any clues due to the cover-up by those with vested interests."

"The organization has made a great determination to do this this time."

That's good.

Bai Xi nodded. The person who could make the organization spend so much effort was either a hero on the undercover front or a great scientist like Mr. Yang. She didn't intend to ask which category he was.

But no matter which one it is, as long as they can return home safely, that is more important than anything else.
