Chapter 1053 614 The Mole Inside the Research
Chapter 1053: Chapter 614: The Mole Inside the Research Institute_2 Chapter 1053: Chapter 614: The Mole Inside the Research Institute_2 “Of course, if not, then give the director a call.”
Geng Hu was not one to mince words; he stepped forward without hesitation and pushed back once again.
Doctor Ding, as arrogant as he might have been, was well aware that Qu Jinmin never looked favorably upon him, so he dared not communicate with her carelessly.
As they were speaking, Professor Sun Yueshan walked over in their direction.
Looking at the three young people before him, he actually had high hopes for Qin Yuan, knowing that this young man had certain potential.
Today he didn’t target them pointedly and, with Old Yang not being there, he didn’t want to waste words with them.
“Speak on what you’ve come to borrow.”
Qin Yuan was somewhat surprised by the other’s attitude. He stepped forward, greeted him politely, and mentioned the rare medicinal ingredient he was seeking.
“We have that item in our storeroom; go fetch him some.”
When Sun Yueshan heard what was said, he did not refuse but instead once again gave orders to Ding Hualan.
Ding Hualan was really angry upon hearing his mentor speak like this—being asked to personally fetch such a small amount of the medicinal material.
His attitude was very nasty as he shouted out loud.
“Assistant! Where has the little assistant run off to? Hurry up and retrieve the chemical medicine for me.”
“I’m here, I’m here, here I am.”
An assistant with glasses on his face, a boy with slightly long hair, had his hair permed with a bit of a curl.
He quickly dressed in a white lab coat, answered affirmatively, and hurried over.
Upon seeing the assistant previously mentioned, Qin Yuan and Geng Hu, along with a few others, all gazed towards this somewhat timid-looking boy.
Although they found him very suspicious, now looking at him this way, how could he seem unsuspicious?
All he could think at the moment was, how could someone who appeared so timid have managed to accomplish such a big issue?
“Hurry up and fetch the medicinal material.”
“Yes, I know. I’ll go right away.”
The assistant, Weiwei, nodded to them and quickly made his way towards the storeroom.
At that moment, Qin Yuan also sized up this person, thinking that he really was different from the others.
He seemed even more timid, perhaps just a fetch-and-carry person when it came to medical knowledge, and to be able to survive here surely meant he had something different about him.
Indeed, they didn’t pity him like He Chenguang and the others did; contrarily, they felt that an anomaly hinted at a demon, deeming this person definitely suspicious.
After a while, they idly wandered around the place as the assistant retrieved the items.
“This is what you need; please take care.”
Now that they had obtained the item and had seen the assistant, Qin Yuan and the others had no reason to stay any longer.
“Great, thank you. Please make a record of this for me.”
No matter what was taken, there was a special record for it, and all those items were filed away; otherwise, if Qu Jinmin were to investigate, they would be unable to explain themselves.
The assistant, looking completely compliant, quickly pushed up his glasses and agreed once more.
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
Professor Sun had long since left, busy with his own matters and no longer staying by Qin Yuan’s side.
Doctor Ding, who was already disinclined to view Qin Yuan and the others favorably, didn’t wish to stand with them and chat even if there was nothing else to do.
Qin Yuan and the others were just as happy to be left to their own devices. Watching the assistant run out again, they took in the entirety of the lab.
They all waited until the assistant completed the experiment and the written record, and then they left the second-floor laboratory one by one.
“This person couldn’t possibly be the so-called insider, could he?”
Geng Hu looked at the person who seemed honest and didn’t appear to be an insider at all; his eyes held only a vacant stare, not the sharpness one would expect.
“Maybe the more he looks like that, the better he can hide.”
Qin Yuan felt that the more normal the things were, the more suspicious the person could be. This person would need to be thoroughly investigated later.
With all the information in the hands of Leader Old Wei, whether it was about any person, he could make a call and find everything out clearly.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go back.”
At this moment, He Chenguang really couldn’t wait. They returned to the laboratory once more and, after putting away a medicinal material, picked up the phone to call Leader Old Wei.
After two rings, Leader Old Wei on the other end picked up.
Before he could speak, Qin Yuan had already stated his purpose.
“Leader, help me check on an assistant.”
He believed the identity of this assistant was highly suspicious, and it needed to be carefully investigated.
When Leader Old Wei heard him speak this way, he knew Qin Yuan and his team must have found some clues and agreed without hesitation.
“Wait a moment; I’ll send it over to you.”
As soon as his words ended, he immediately began transferring various files from his computer in the direction of Qin Yuan’s cellphone.
He knew Qin Yuan was capable of handling things, and since Qin Yuan asked him, it seemed there was a breakthrough, and there could be no delay at this moment.
Indeed, one message after another began appearing on Qin Yuan’s phone, being sent in his direction.
“Leader, I’ve received them; I’ll hang up first.”
Qin Yuan didn’t have time to say much right now; he still needed to carefully investigate whether this so-called assistant was indeed suspicious.
After he finished speaking with the leader, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
This scene also made the people beside him really curious.
Knowing Qin Yuan’s urgency, they were certain that he must have discovered some major news. He Chenguang and Geng Hu asked in unison.
“How is it?”
“Is this assistant really under suspicion?”
It was said to be an assistant, but they still did not know the person’s name. Qin Yuan was choosing from among several assistants.
Suddenly, he saw a very familiar face, the very face of the person he suspected.
Qin Yuan’s eyes paused on the phone, then he said to He Chenguang and Geng Hu standing beside him.
“Look, is it this one?”
Listening to him, both of them immediately looked in the direction of the cellphone, not expecting that the girl’s face would smile so brightly, yet it was clear she was the one.
“That’s right, it’s her.”
They had not expected that the girl, who seemed harmless in normal times, could turn out to be a mole.
This really took Geng Hu by surprise; indeed, one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover or trust someone based on what they say casually.
Qin Yuan didn’t talk much but instead seriously looked at the name of this assistant and examined her resume carefully.
“This girl’s name is Shi Xiaoqi.”
It contained a variety of information about her from childhood to adulthood; she had been a top student since she was small, but everything seemed very normal still.
Qin Yuan didn’t find it strange that these people were top students from their childhood, but after this girl studied medicine and slowly started working at a research institute, there were no more details about her resume.
Qin Yuan found it odd. From where did she enter this intelligence organization? When would she start selling the information?
He was baffled, but He Chenguang and Geng Hu became extremely agitated, immediately beginning to ask.
