Chapter 94 94【Howard's view on love】
"Selton's sister is really beautiful, she doesn't have a set of genes like him at all." After Missy left, Howard raised his eyebrows and said.
"Okay, aren't you dating that Kelly now, why are you thinking about Sheldon's sister now?" Xiang Nan said speechlessly when he heard that.
"Kelly and I are just fooling around, and neither of us is serious." Howard heard, "I'm not a fool, I know she and I are interested in my money. A woman like this, I won't fooled.
If I want to marry a wife in the future, I must marry someone who really loves me. I don’t care if I have money or not. I don’t care if I am not tall, handsome, or strong. She can appreciate my talent, appreciate my humor, and play with me. people together. "
"Howie, what you said really impressed me." Xiang Nan couldn't help admiring after hearing this.
Seeing that Howard is usually so horny, he thought that he was not sure about the situation and would definitely be cheated by some girls. Unexpectedly, he was quite sober, so he couldn't help giving a thumbs up.
At this time, Howard's cell phone rang. It turned out that Edward had already arrived in Los Angeles by plane.
Xiang Nan then drove to the airport with him and picked up Edward.
"Okay, tell me what happened in detail." Edward said immediately.
Howard nodded, and told the ins and outs.
"How is it, cousin, is this case difficult?" After finishing speaking, he asked with concern.
"This kind of case has always been very difficult. It is difficult to find out whether there is a leak or not. Leonard cannot testify for himself, and it is even more impossible for Joyce King to testify for him." Edward explained, "And he did take rocket fuel out of the lab in violation of regulations, and that alone is very difficult to deal with."
"My God!" Howard couldn't help crying when he heard it.
Xiang Nan also frowned.
To be honest, it is not uncommon for researchers like them to occasionally sneak their inventions out of the laboratory.
Howard brought out a robotic arm and a space toilet from the laboratory, and privately called a military unmanned reconnaissance drone, and took a girl to the laboratory to drive a Mars rover...
Leonard just wanted to please Joyce King, so he smuggled out the rocket fuel. Violation is indeed a violation, but it should be completely different from leaking state secrets.
It's a pity that the Ministry of National Defense may not see it that way.
"Okay, don't worry, this matter can be big or small. To put it bluntly, he is stealing state secrets, leaking state secrets, and the sentence of seven or eight years in prison is no exaggeration.
To put it bluntly, he just violated the rules of the laboratory, and a small punishment would be fine. "Edward advised.
"Yes, yes, he just violated the laboratory's regulations, and it is definitely not stealing state secrets." Howard immediately agreed.
"Then how to make big things smaller?" Xiang Nan asked for advice.
Edward glanced at Xiang Nan appreciatively, and he grasped the core point in one sentence.
"Actually, you did a good job before. The school should come forward to help him intercede, which should put some pressure on the Ministry of Defense." Edward nodded and said, "After all, Caltech is one of the best universities in the United States. In politics, The business, military, and academic circles all have extensive contacts and powerful forces, and the Ministry of National Defense should give some face.
In addition, you can also help Leonard contact the school’s faculty and staff, academic leaders, etc., and ask them to help write some pleading letters, which will also be very beneficial to Leonard. "
…
After returning to school, Edward went to the principal as Leonard's lawyer.
Xiang Nan and Howard began to contact everyone, asking for help to write a love letter for Leonard.
Because Leonard has a gentle personality and is kind to others, he has accumulated a lot of popularity. In addition, Xiang Nan, Howard and others came forward to help him, so many people from Caltech wrote pleading letters for him, adding up to more than 200 letters.
Taking advantage of his reputation in the academic world, Xiang Nan invited some bigwigs in the academic world to intercede for Leonard. Among them, there are many Nobel Prize winners and Turing Award winners, all of whom are heavyweights.
"There are almost two hundred and fifty letters, should be enough?" Howard counted.
"It should be almost there." Xiang Nan nodded.
When ordinary people are tried, it is good to have at most three or four pleading letters. Two hundred and fifty letters, dozens of times more than theirs, and there are many top-notch letter writers, who should be quite influential.
The number two hundred and five is not pleasant. But this can be regarded as a lesson for Leonard, who made him do two wrong things. One is to pick up girls without brains, and the other is to make friends without eyes.
"Raj, help Sheldon pull out the pleading letter." At this moment, Peggy began to persuade.
"Why should I help him get a letter of pleading?" Xiang Nan was puzzled when he heard it, "I have been friends with him for two years, you can ask Howard, have I received any benefits from him?"
"No." Howard shook his head firmly.
Selton didn't bother with such things as human relations at all. He wouldn't even give gifts to his friends for their birthdays, let alone take care of them at ordinary times.
Coupled with his poisonous tongue and conceit, they are often squeezed by him. If it weren't for Leonard, they would have turned against Sheldon long ago.
What's more, Sheldon will retaliate. This time, if he is not smart and has taken precautions, all research materials and prototypes may be destroyed.
At that time, even if they can redo the research and rebuild the prototype, the loss will be quite large.
"Sheldon didn't do us any favors, and even wanted to take revenge on us, but now you ask us to intercede for him?" Xiang Nan frowned, "What on earth are you thinking?"
"I admit that Sheldon is at fault. But you also know that he broke into the laboratory not to steal state secrets, but just to do some damage.
Moreover, he was caught before he could implement it, and did not cause any damage. Do you think it is really fair to be sentenced to ten or eight years in prison?
Although he has done some wrong things before, you should know in your heart that he is not a bad person. Moreover, he has been your friend for two years after all. In the past two years, it is impossible for you to be awkward every day, after all, there are happy moments.
You just read it for the sake of those good memories, help him. "Peggy thought for a while, and then persuaded.
Hearing what she said, Xiang Nan pursed his lips and fell into deep thought.
He admitted that there was some truth to what Peggy said. According to Sheldon's actions, he really shouldn't be sentenced to ten or eight years in prison.
But the nature of this incident was very bad, and the reason why there was no loss was mainly because he took good precautions. Otherwise, he will lose a lot now.
So he was really unwilling to intercede for Sheldon.
