At noon, Yang Ping received an international long-distance call from Professor Mainshtan.
"Professor, I have heard about the progress of the Three Nations case." Mainshtan's voice revealed fatigue, "Berg's situation... I'm very sorry. I've known him for thirty years and always thought he was just stubborn and conservative, never expected him to go this far."
"This isn't your fault."
"But it's a disgrace to the scientific community." Mainshtan sighed, "A scholar, driven by jealousy and profit, participated in harming patients. This is more serious than any academic fraud."
He paused for a moment: "The German Academy of Sciences has already started an internal investigation. Berg has been suspended from all positions. But I feel this is not enough. He should be permanently expelled from the scientific community."
"Let the law decide," Yang Ping said, "if the evidence is conclusive, he faces not only academic reputation bankruptcy."
