Chapter 987 Holly Caught in the Act
"Alright, Mr. Lawrence is a sensible man, so I won't beat around the bush. I've heard that Mr. Lawrence is in charge of data verification and compilation for the atomic weapons design program at Alamos Laboratory. You must be very good with numbers and calculations, and possess an extraordinary memory."
"What I want is very simple: Mr. Lawrence just needs to memorize all the calculation data results from the lab every day, write them down after get off work, and take some time each week to put these records of calculations and summaries into a designated mailbox!"
Lawrence said sternly, "Do you know what you're saying? This is a crime of leaking secrets. If I'm caught, I'll go to jail!"
Zhang Yunhe said, "As long as you don't take any paper documents out of the lab, no one will pay attention to your every move. Even if a leak is discovered and the security department strengthens its management, since you have nothing on you, they can't suspect you, and no one will know that you did it!"
“You’re wrong. I know what I’m doing. I’m a scientist, not a spy, and I can’t be a good spy! I’ll go back to the hospital and tell the doctor to cancel the surgery and refund your money!” Lawrence said, then got up to leave.
Zhang Yunhe said, "Mr. Lawrence, I must remind you that your wife's condition doesn't allow her to hold on for much longer. I've learned from the doctor that without surgery, she won't last more than two months. This money is very important to you."
"The doctor said that the 30% success rate is a conservative estimate. In reality, the success rate of the surgery can reach 60% or even 70%. If your wife has the surgery, there is a very high chance that she will survive!"
"I heard that you two are very much in love and that it wasn't easy for you to get together. If she weren't here, what do you think your life would be like?"
"Your children are still very young. If they lose their mother, and you have to spend most of your time at work, do you think your children will have a good life?"
"Actually, you're not in any danger. As long as you don't bring any documents out, they won't be able to find any fault with you. When you drop the documents into the mailbox, no one will pay attention because the mailbox is a locker in the mall. Thousands of people come and go from the mall every day, and no one will care what you put in the locker!"
"...No, that doesn't meet my moral standards. I'm a decent person, I wouldn't do anything that violates professional ethics!" Lawrence's resolve was beginning to waver, but he still couldn't quite get past that mental hurdle.
Zhang Yunhe lit a cigarette and said, "Mr. Lawrence, no laboratory in the world can avoid leaking some data. As long as there is demand and profit, this phenomenon cannot be stopped!"
"Do you think no one in Alamos Lab sells research data and related materials? Let me tell you clearly, you're not the first, and you won't be the last!"
"This will not have any impact on the laboratory's research projects, and it is impossible for outsiders or organizations to manufacture atomic weapons based solely on this data and information, because it involves many aspects. You are a scientist, and I believe you understand this better than I do!"
"The reason why some people need this data and information is because they also want to do research and build up their technology reserves, but their research speed and progress will definitely not be as fast as yours!"
"If you agree to collaborate with me, I can promise you a reward of $1 for each piece of data I receive. As far as I know, the annual salary of an average scientist is around $5000, while top scientists earn between $15 and $25 annually."
"If you cooperate with me, your monthly income will reach $4, and your annual income will approach $50."
"This money is enough to improve your family's financial situation and allow you to live a very comfortable life. The risk of you being discovered is extremely low. As long as you are vigilant, you will never be found out. If you discover anything amiss, you can terminate your cooperation with me at any time. I will not force you. This business is all about mutual consent."
Lawrence eventually took away the contact information, data, and address for the locker that Zhang Yunhe had given him.
The third target was Professor Holly, who was playing Texas Hold'em with several gamblers in a casino when Zhang Yunhe found him.
The casino was bustling with people, and there were quite a few onlookers around Professor Holly's table.
Zhang Yunhe arrived at the gambling table and saw Professor Holly, who was dominating the game, having a winning hand that completely overwhelmed the other gamblers.
Sure enough, Professor Holly won a lot more this round, and his chips piled up into a small mountain.
Professor Holly's winning streak had long attracted the attention of the casino, but they had observed for a long time without finding any evidence that he was cheating.
Another game began, and Professor Holly played his cards very steadily by memorizing and calculating the cards.
Zhang Yunhe walked over, paused behind Professor Holly for a few seconds, and then walked away.
When Professor Holly finished playing his cards and won, a gambler next to him suddenly noticed something and immediately shouted, "Wait a minute, I already played two Queens, how come you still have three Queens? You cheated!"
These words struck like a thunderbolt!
"I remember now, he did play two Queens, and now he's played three Queens. There's something wrong with his hand, he's cheating!" A gambler sitting opposite Professor Holly shouted, pointing at him.
Suddenly, several gamblers at the table stood up angrily and yelled at Professor Holly, causing an uproar among the onlookers.
The casino immediately sent several people to restrain Professor Holly, who muttered to himself in disbelief, "Impossible, impossible, I didn't cheat, I don't know how the cards changed, I really didn't cheat!"
The casino manager said to the dealer, "Turn over all the cards that have been dealt and see if two Queens have been dealt!"
The dealer immediately turned over all the cards that had been dealt and actually found two Queens among them.
There are now five Queens on the table, so it's a certainty that Professor Holly cheated at the gambling table.
“Sir, please come with us. It seems we need to have a proper talk!” The casino manager said to Professor Holly expressionlessly. After speaking, he waved to several thugs, who then grabbed Holly and dragged him away.
"Let me go, let me go! I didn't cheat! I didn't cheat! I don't know what happened!" Holly yelled, but it was no use.
"Go and tally up how much money he's won at our casino recently!" the manager said to one of his subordinates.
The subordinate said, "No need to keep track, I've already done it. He won a total of $3 from us!"
The supervisor went to a storage room, where Professor Holly was brought and tied to the back of a chair.
"No one has ever dared to cheat in my establishment. You've got some nerve. Now I'll give you two choices: First, we'll find a place and bury you alive; second, you've won $3 from us, so call your family and have them send $15 over. All you have left are your hands, and you can leave!"
