After Leonard was released, he went home to take a shower and rest.

In the evening, Penny came back from get off work. When she saw him, she smiled and said, "What, your experiment is done?"

"Experiment?" Leonard was stunned, a little confused.

"Yeah, aren't you working overtime at school these days to do experiments?" Penny couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw his reaction.

"Ah... this... that... yes, I am working overtime at school to do experiments." Leonard hesitated twice, then nodded with a smile.

"What's going on?" Penny became more and more confused when she saw this.

"Okay, now that Leonard has come out, let's tell the truth." Upon seeing this, Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"What 'truth'? What are you hiding from me?" Penny asked doubtfully.

"Penny, let's be honest, Leonard wasn't working overtime at school these days to do experiments, but was arrested by the Ministry of National Defense," Xiang Nan said immediately.

"What?!" When Penny heard this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

"Raj, stop talking." Leonard said with some shame. He was consciously arrested and imprisoned. It was really embarrassing and he didn't want Penny to know.

What's more, this also involves a love story of his, so naturally he doesn't want Penny to know about it.

Xiang Nan waved his hand to him and continued to tell the whole story.

"Oh, poor Leonard, you must have suffered a lot." After hearing this, Penny felt frightened.

Then, overflowing with sympathy, she came to Leonard, hugged him into her arms, and kissed him immediately.

Xiang Nan quickly turned his head away.

Although he and Penny had broken up, he still had no feelings for her. But seeing this scene still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Leonard didn't expect that his encounter this time would actually bring unexpected gains, and he couldn't help but feel excited and sighing at the same time.

…

After Leonard was released, he returned to school the next day and made a special trip to visit Sheldon's mother and sister.

"Leonard, I'm really sorry. It was Sheldon who said the wrong thing and caused you trouble. I would like to solemnly apologize to you on his behalf." Mary Cooper said with shame.

She knew that Leonard had been taking care of her son all these years, working hard and without complaint, even as a mother like her. But he was still tricked by Sheldon and almost went to jail.

"Aunt, don't say these things. I don't blame Sheldon. I did do something wrong before, and I should be punished. Sheldon just told the truth, it's not a mistake." Leonard waved his hand and said, "Moreover, being imprisoned this time also allowed me to gain love, so it is a blessing in disguise for me."

"Good boy, thank you." Mary Cooper said gratefully.

"Auntie, if Leonard can be put back, then Sheldon can definitely be put back. You don't have to worry about that. If you wait patiently for a few days, things may turn around." Xiang Nan persuaded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mary Cooper nodded expectantly.

"Auntie, I suggest you write a letter to Sheldon and advise him to restrain his temper and cooperate with a lawyer so that he can come out as soon as possible." Leonard also suggested.

Hearing what he said, Mary Cooper's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Why didn't I think of this earlier? Okay, I'll write it right away." She nodded immediately.

…

After Leonard came back, he immediately got to work.

Quantum navigation and communication systems are just a matter of fact. There are more than ten people in the research team, with more people but not more and less people.

On the contrary, it is a verification experiment of super asymmetry theory. It is really impossible to do it without him.

Therefore, after his return, the verification experiment was restarted immediately.

Xiang Nan, Peggy, and Leonard all worked overtime overnight, starting from getting off work at five o'clock in the afternoon and continuing until two or three o'clock in the morning. During this period, they continued to experiment and analyze data.

While they were busy with the experiment, Sheldon also received a letter from Mary Cooper addressed to him by Edward.

Sheldon rarely listens to people's advice. There are only two people he really likes who can persuade him. One is his mother and the other is his grandmother.

Now after seeing his mother's letter asking him to cooperate with his lawyer, Sheldon immediately became much more honest. Although he is not 100% cooperative, it is still much better than the previous nonsense.

With Edward's hard work and pressure from the school, Sheldon's hope of being released from prison is getting bigger and bigger.

However, although Sheldon may avoid jail, punishment is still unavoidable.

In particular, to vent his personal anger, he broke into other people's laboratories late at night with the intention of sabotaging them. This was an extremely serious matter.

You must know that the academic world attaches great importance to scientific research results, and everything depends on performance.

The reason why Sheldon has such a bad temper and is regarded as a favorite by the school is because of his outstanding achievements in the field of string theory.

The laboratory is the easiest place to produce results, and researchers spend almost half their lives here.

Sheldon breaks into the laboratory and destroys other people's scientific research projects, which is to destroy other people's careers.

Such practices must be severely punished, otherwise if others follow suit in the future, then everyone's research will no longer be safe and may be destroyed at any time.

Therefore, the academic community has a very firm attitude towards this matter.

The school is also now considering what to do with Sheldon.

One party is urging him to be expelled, not wanting such a black sheep to appear again at Caltech.

One side advocates forgiving Sheldon. After all, he is the top talent in the field of string theory research and is very likely to win the Nobel Prize in the future. If he is expelled, the school will lose one of its scientific research backbones, which is tantamount to self-destruction.

Both sides have very good reasons, and no one can convince the other, so there is a stalemate now.

…

Three days later at two o'clock in the morning.

In the laboratory, Xiang Nan is analyzing a new set of data.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he jumped up, "Here it is, I found it!"

"Really?!" Peggy and Leonard came over immediately after hearing this.

Xiang Nan then pointed it out to them, "This set is the valid data we are looking for."

"Ah, yes, it really is." Peggy looked at it and said in surprise.

After Leonard checked it over, he nodded happily.

"Indeed, its decay data is exactly consistent with what is predicted by the superasymmetry theory." He also said in surprise, "Oh my God, we finally found it!"

"That's great!" Peggy also said happily, "Raj, our superasymmetry theory has been confirmed, it's really great!"

"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, "The hard work these days has finally paid off."

"The Nobel Prize in Physics is waiting for us, it's great." Leonard clenched his fists excitedly and said.

"Don't rush to be happy. Let's write the paper first and publish it, and then talk about winning the award." Xiang Nan reminded with a smile.
