Director Hua arrived upon hearing the news and was startled to see the person on the ground, exclaiming, "How come it's you?"

When that person saw Director Hua approaching, he knew it was a trap and that he had been exposed.

The man whose jaw was dislocated was Sun Qiang, the second captain of the patrol team at the research institute.

"Take him to the interrogation room!" Director Hua was surprised, then furious. He wanted to interrogate him thoroughly about why he had betrayed his country!

The man has been caught, and Huo Yingjie is relieved. He is now just waiting for Director Hua's interrogation.

Only then did Huo Yingjie remember and ask, "Little Whirlwind Turtle, why can you read memories?"

"It's a snake..." The little tortoise quickly covered its mouth, almost revealing the name of the Snake King. It had promised He Tiantian that it would keep the Snake King's secret and wouldn't tell anyone. "I learned it by stealing..."

Actually, it learned all of these from the Snake King, who had given it some techniques. After learning them, it gained many supernatural abilities.

"Hehe, no matter who you learned from, it's always good to learn more. You did well this time, great job." Huo Yingjie didn't mind these minor details. He knew that the more capable the little tortoise was, the more help he would receive.

"Yes, just like humans say, you only realize how little you know when you need it! So we need to study more," the little tortoise said seriously. "My magic is the same; I need to practice it well."

"Not bad, you've improved," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "By the way, can you give me that person's memories now?"

"Mmm, okay!" The little tortoise nodded its head, and then a long string of memories flooded into Huo Yingjie's mind.

Huo Yingjie felt a slight discomfort in his head, but the discomfort quickly passed.

In Huo Yingjie's mind, it was like the computer he used in his previous life, constantly playing Sun Qiang's memories.

Oh, I see!

It turns out that Sun Qiang had already been turned by hostile forces five years ago. He had three subordinates and one superior in the research institute.

The first one was Grandpa Hao. He took advantage of Grandpa Hao's grandson being sick and in urgent need of medical expenses, and lured Grandpa Hao with money.

As for the other three, Huo Yingjie didn't recognize them. He would wait until he went out to see how things went.

The source of this information is too bizarre; Huo Yingjie should keep it to himself.

Besides the research institute, he also found a crucial clue from this person's memory.

This clue led to a major event later on, which Huo Yingjie decided to utilize. To accumulate greater power for the Huo family and for himself!

Three days later, Huo Yingjie was released.

Qian Miaomiao chattered on and on, saying, "Boss, you don't know, our research institute has found quite a few spies this time, a total of four."

Huo Yingjie knew there were a total of five in the research institute! Only four had been arrested so far.

"So many? Which three? What departments are they from?" Huo Yingjie asked, also wanting to know about the spies he didn't recognize.

“Uncle Hao, Sun Qiang, the captain of the second patrol team, Deputy Director Li from the logistics management department, and a researcher from the power group,” Qian Miaomiao explained. “Sigh, these people are lurking among us, it’s terrifying to even think about!”

Four?

Fifthly, indeed cunning!

However, Huo Yingjie knew who that person was! The reason that person wasn't caught this time was probably because that person used their position to cover up some of their testimony.

A few downlines were sacrificed in exchange for peace. Once the storm passes, more downlines can naturally be developed.

Huo Yingjie originally wanted to catch a big fish, and if that person managed to evade, Huo Yingjie might be able to obtain more useful information.

"Sigh, I hope this kind of thing won't happen again in the future," Huo Yingjie said. "Alright, you've all worked hard lately. You can rest for a couple of days, and then we'll get back to work together."

Seeing that Huo Yingjie wasn't surprised, Qian Miaomiao suddenly realized what was going on and said, "Boss, I know. You set a trap, fooling those spies and fooling us too. Don't you trust us?"

Tang Xinliang and Qian Miaomiao both looked at Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "You're overthinking it. It's not that I don't trust you, but you're young, and I was afraid you'd expose me if you found out the truth. I apologize to you here, and I hope you won't be angry. Come on, let's go watch the Korean War!"

“Okay, I’ll believe you for now,” Qian Miaomiao said. “We should go see him. We’ve been very busy these past few days and haven’t had time to visit him.”

The eldest sister is right; if she knew, she couldn't possibly be completely unaware.

If a spy finds out, all our efforts will be in vain.

They arrived at the hospital together, where Zhou Yuanchao was reading a book.

"Boss, you're out!" Zhou Yuanchao said excitedly, about to get out of bed.

"You're out. How are you now?" Huo Yingjie asked. This time, Zhou Yuanchao was injured in his place.

Zhou Yuanchao raised his arm and said with a wry smile, "My arm will probably take another two months. Sigh, it's too boring to work with you guys in the hospital."

As soon as the eldest brother came out, he was about to start working. He was very regretful that he couldn't participate because of his injury.

"Don't worry, our team won't be hiring anymore," Huo Yingjie said, patting him on the shoulder. "Take good care of yourself, we'll be waiting for you!"

Huo Yingjie also didn't want Zhou Yuanchao's name to be missing from the project's credits after its completion.

"Really?" Zhou Yuanchao asked in surprise, looking at Huo Yingjie.

“What the boss says must be true. At worst, Tang Xinliang and I will do more, and we’ll wait for you to rejoin the team,” Qian Miaomiao said. After this experience, she no longer trusted anyone else but their team of four.

I'd rather work harder than have someone I don't trust come in.

"I will definitely take good care of myself and return to the team as soon as possible," Zhou Yuanchao said with a smile, deeply moved.

After leaving the hospital, Huo Yingjie treated Qian Miaomiao and Tang Xinliang to a meal in the cafeteria.

Huo Yingjie did not return to his dormitory, but went directly to his office, opened the safe and checked the documents. They were intact and untouched.

"Little Whirlwind Turtle, I want to read someone else's memories. How do I do that?" Huo Yingjie asked. Knowing that person's movements would allow Huo Yingjie to take advantage of the situation and act accordingly, perhaps maximizing his own benefit.

"It's actually very simple. As long as the master has physical contact with that person, I can read his memories," the little tortoise replied in a cute voice.

Physical contact?

Huo Yingjie felt a chill and started to have impure thoughts.

"May I shake hands?" Huo Yingjie asked, hoping it was possible.

“Sure, but neither of you can wear gloves,” the little tortoise replied. “Once you read it, Master, you can access that person’s memories anytime, anywhere.”

"That's great!" Huo Yingjie was overjoyed. With just one reading, he could know that person's past and present. As for the future, Huo Yingjie didn't need that information; he could speculate. (To be continued.)
