Shen Qiqi was furious. She took a few steps forward, grabbed Technician Zhao's arm, and said sternly, "Technician Zhao, who told you what you just said?"

Technician Zhao was startled by this sudden questioning. His eyes flickered and he stammered, "This... This is what I thought..."

"You thought of it yourself?" Shen Qiqi sneered, "I seemed to have mentioned a similar idea when I was chatting with some young people a few days ago. How could it be such a coincidence that you 'thought of it'?" She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "think", which was full of irony.

The villagers around also began to whisper, and someone said: "Yeah, I seem to have heard Shen Qiqi say something similar." Someone else said: "No way, Technician Zhao doesn't look like that kind of person." The discussions of the onlookers rose and fell, like the barrage of a live broadcast.

Technician Zhao's expression became even uglier. He pretended to be calm and said, "Chen Qiqi, stop slandering me! This is clearly a plan I came up with myself. How can you say it was you who said it?" His eyes were erratic and he didn't dare to look directly into Shen Qiqi's eyes.

"Oh? Really?" Shen Qiqi took out a small notebook from her pocket. It was the notebook where she recorded her inspirations and plans. "All my ideas are recorded here, including time and details. Do you want to take it out and show it to everyone so we can compare?" She shook the notebook in her hand as if she was holding a precious sword.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Technician Zhao's forehead. He waved his hands in panic, "No, no, no

"Admit it now? It's too late!" Shen Qiqi pressed on, "You stole my plan and you want to take credit for it in front of Captain Wang, you..."

"Shut up!" Technician Zhao suddenly raised his voice and interrupted Shen Qiqi, "Don't try to slander me!" He stiffened his neck, looking like he would never admit his mistake.

"Slander?" Shen Qiqi smiled meaningfully. "Captain Wang knows very well whether I have slandered you or not." She turned to look at Captain Wang with a hint of provocation in her eyes. "Captain Wang, what do you think?"

Captain Wang frowned. He looked at Shen Qiqi, then at Technician Zhao, and his expression looked like he was constipated.

He pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "Chen Qiqi, I still need to investigate what you said. Technician Zhao has been working here for so long, he doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing. Do you have any misunderstandings?"

Captain Wang's words were like pouring salt on Shen Qiqi's wounds.

She felt a chill running from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head. This old man was indeed a stubborn old man. He wouldn't cry until he saw the coffin!

She bit her lips tightly, trying hard not to let tears fall. Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked at Captain Wang stubbornly.

At this moment, a warm hand gently rested on her shoulder.

Shen Qiqi turned her head and saw Lu Qing looking at her with a firm look.

Lu Qing nodded to Captain Wang and said softly, "Captain Wang, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Qiqi, let's go back first."

Lu Qing took Shen Qiqi's hand, and the two walked out of the crowd side by side.

The surrounding villagers murmured among themselves, and Widow Zhang said sarcastically, "Humph, I thought you were so powerful, but in the end you were still taught a lesson by the captain!"

Lu Qing ignored the rumors. He took Shen Qiqi back home, walked straight into his study, and closed the door.

"Don't be sad, I'm here." Lu Qing gently took Shen Qiqi into his arms and stroked her hair gently.

Shen Qiqi's tears could no longer be held back, and they rolled down like beads with a broken string.

She hugged Lu Qing tightly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and said aggrievedly: "They don't believe me!"

"I know, I saw it all." Lu Qing comforted softly, "Don't be afraid, I will help you get justice."

Shen Qiqi gradually calmed down. She wiped away her tears, stepped out of Lu Qing's embrace, and said seriously, "Lu Qing, the most important thing now is to solve the problem. Technician Zhao stealing my plan is just a small matter. The problem with the project is the key. We can't let him divert our attention."

Lu Qing nodded, and seeing Shen Qiqi thinking seriously, his heart was filled with relief.

He took Shen Qiqi's hand and sat down at the table, and the two began to analyze the current situation together.

"First of all, we have to find out how many plans Technician Zhao stole and whether he made any modifications. Also, as for Captain Wang, we have to find a way to make him trust us." Lu Qing said as he wrote and drew on paper.

Shen Qiqi looked at Lu Qing's profile, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

With Lu Qing around, she felt like she had nothing to fear.

"Lu Qing, I have an idea..." Before Shen Qiqi finished speaking, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Lu Qing, Qiqi, are you there? Something happened!" Accountant Li's urgent voice came from outside the door.

Accountant Li's voice was like a death warrant, casting a shadow over Shen Qiqi's newly risen hope.

"What you fear will come true!" She cursed in her heart, looked at Lu Qing, and they both walked out of the study quickly.

Accountant Li stood at the door, sweat on his forehead, looking very anxious. "Oh no, Lu Qing, Qiqi, there's something wrong in the warehouse, go check it out!"

Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was something wrong with the materials?

She and Lu Qing jogged all the way to the warehouse, only to find it in complete chaos.

The workers were talking at once, their faces looking very ugly.

"What's going on?" Lu Qing asked with a frown.

"Captain Lu, we're running out of materials! The ones we brought in earlier are almost gone!" a worker said anxiously. "The project isn't even halfway done yet. What are we going to do?"
