Chapter 1179: Have a Moral Bottom Line

Editor: Henyee Translations

Ryan was silent.

In the beginning, Ryan had asked Singer to hypnotize him into hiding as Ji Minghui, intending it as a strategic act while waiting for the right moment to strike.

But once he stepped into the role, he experienced a calm he had never known. For a brief time, he even considered leaving his past behind—letting go of his old country and his obsession, abandoning the Utopia Organization, and simply living his life as Ji Minghui.

After leaving Ryan’s cell, Ji Linbai rushed up to Gu Yang. “Yangyang, where is my father’s… body?”

“Director Ji is actually alive,” Gu Yang replied, giving him the location Ryan had mentioned.

...

Ji Linbai’s shock quickly turned into joy. “I’ll head to the hospital now! Thank you, Yangyang.”

Gu Yang nodded. “No need to thank me; your father helped me so much in the past. Go find him quickly.”

Overcome with anticipation, Ji Linbai thanked both Gu Yang and Xiao Yize again before hurrying away.

Xiao Yize was equally stunned by the news. “So he hid the real Director Ji Minghui as a patient in the Ji family’s hospital. The most dangerous place really was the safest.”

Gu Yang shared his surprise, yet the logic became clear. Ryan had kept Ji Minghui imprisoned, likely to observe and replicate his behavior precisely enough to assume his identity.

By holding him as a mental patient, if Ji Minghui ever claimed to be the director, others would dismiss it as a delusion.

At this moment, Lin Ran came over and said, “Sister, the Physicist wants to see you.”

Gu Yang nodded. “Actually, I also want to meet him.”

Unlike Ryan Noble, the Physicist’s eyes were burning with excitement when he saw Gu Yang.

This gaze made Gu Yang very uncomfortable, as if she was a research subject in the laboratory.

“You went back, right?” The Physicist confirmed excitedly.

Gu Yang’s suspicion was confirmed. “You knew from the start that the light cone experiment wouldn’t change anything, didn’t you?”

The Physicist laughed, a manic, tear-streaked smile twisting his face. “Hahaha, exactly! The past is immovable, set in stone. Inside the light cone is fate itself. We, unbound from the UO, are merely ghosts adrift in time.”

He looked at her with fevered eyes. “And you, bound to the UO, are just a puppet pulled by fate’s strings.”

Gu Yang regarded him in silence, thinking he truly was unhinged.

As she turned to leave, he called out. “Young lady, I heard you studied physics?”

Gu Yang stopped. “So what if I did?”

“I know my crimes have earned me the death penalty, but all I ever wanted was the truth. I’ll give you the entirety of my research—all my life’s work on the light cone experiment.”

He leaned closer, his tone filled with feverish allure. “You can publish it under your name. Think of it—you’d be famous, renowned among physicists. You could even win a Nobel Prize!”

Gu Yang’s gaze remained steady and unmoved. “I’m turning you down.”

The Physicist’s face contorted in disbelief. “Why? Do you understand the magnitude of this? This is the truth! I may be guilty, but the truth is pure!”

“There’s a moral code in scientific research.”
