Chapter 255 Academic Fraud?

The former means that the substance belongs to the category of "low toxicity" and can be used under strict control.

The latter, however, represents "highly poisonous"! It is a forbidden zone that should absolutely not be touched!

This alteration is extremely minor and subtle; without comparing it to the original manuscript, it would be impossible for anyone other than a top professional to detect the trick.

But once this altered report is submitted as an official document, it could be discovered by experts at any stage...

That's "academic fraud"!

It was a heinous crime that could kill the entire laboratory project, ruin the reputation of the Qiongzhou Military Medical Equipment Factory, and disgrace Su Yue personally!

Su Yue's back instantly broke out in a fine layer of cold sweat.

The enemy has already made their move.

Moreover, the other party's methods were ruthless and vicious, directly infiltrating the approval process and planting a deadly bomb in her most prized professional field.

"Nanxing, Xinyue, this matter ends here. No one is allowed to mention it again."

Su Yue's voice instantly became calm, so calm it was almost frightening.

Seeing her sudden change in expression, Gu Nanxing and Chen Xinyue realized the seriousness of the situation and nodded vigorously.

"Xin Yue, don't think about anything right now." Su Yue looked at Chen Xin Yue and said slowly and deliberately, "Use your memory to rewrite this correct report from memory. Every word, every punctuation mark, every piece of data must be correct."

“Okay!” Chen Xinyue immediately agreed, picked up paper and pen, and began to write with concentration.

Su Yue turned and walked to the phone, asking for the encrypted line to the Hainan Island Military Region Command without hesitation.

The call was quickly connected, and Gu Beichen's familiar and steady voice came from the other end.

“It’s me.” Su Yue got straight to the point. “I need you to use all your connections in the capital to investigate something for me immediately.”

"After our application report was sent to the Ministry of Health's archives, I need a complete record of who, when, and under what pretext accessed the document, and who handled it. The sooner the better."

"Something happened?" Gu Beichen didn't ask any more questions.

"yes."

"Wait for my call."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yue stood by the window, looking at the tall sycamore tree in the courtyard of the guesthouse. The autumn wind swept by, and the yellow leaves fell in a flurry.

Lin Wan'er.

There would be no one else but her.

This wicked woman finally couldn't resist and revealed her fangs.

Less than an hour later, the phone on the table rang again.

It was still Gu Beichen.

“It’s been investigated.” His voice carried a hint of suppressed coldness. “All the personnel who had access to the documents were internal staff of the archives department, and there were no problems with the procedures.”

Su Yue's heart sank again.

If it's not an insider, then it means the other party has more power than she imagined.

“However,” Gu Beichen changed the subject, “there is a point of doubt. Three days ago, Qin Zheng went to the archives room once, saying he needed to ‘understand the materials related to the heroic deeds in order to prepare for subsequent publicity work.’ He stayed there for half an hour.”

Qin Zheng!

Su Yue understood instantly.

It must have been Lin Wan'er who did it through Qin Zheng's connections.

Using Qin Zheng's newly restored identity and connections, she entered the archives where her life's work was kept under a seemingly legitimate pretext.

Then, using this stealthy method, he set a deadly trap for himself.

She's aiming for a fatal blow, using her most proficient weapon to completely destroy her professional reputation!

What a ruthless scheme.

Just then, Chen Xinyue looked up and handed over a report she had just finished writing.

"Sis, it's finished."

Su Yue took the paper, looking at the neat and tidy handwriting on it, and the perfect data that matched her memory perfectly. A cold smile slowly curved her lips.

She placed the altered, fake report side by side with this freshly produced, genuine report.

One was a poisoned dagger, the other a life-saving antidote.

Gu Nanxing and Chen Xinyue looked at her, their faces full of worry and tension.

Su Yue smiled.

"don’t worry."

She reached out and carefully put both reports away.

"We can't waste this 'knife' that she went to so much trouble to send us."

Su Yue raised her head and looked at her two younger sisters. In her clear eyes, there was a light that seemed to be that of a "hunter".

"Tomorrow, we're going to see someone."

"A person who can make this fake report work to its fullest potential."

......

The next day, in the capital city, at the Ministry of Health's residential compound.

Su Yue looked up at the gray brick building.

This is the home of Academician Qian, a leading figure in academia known for his rigorous, meticulous, and unyielding nature.

What he hates most is academic misconduct.

Su Yue straightened her clothes and stepped onto the stairs first.

Gu Nanxing and Chen Xinyue followed behind, the two girls' palms sweating with nervousness.

They didn't understand why their sister would bring that obviously flawed fake report to pass this first hurdle.

Isn't this tantamount to handing the hilt of a knife to the enemy?

The door was opened by Academician Qian's bodyguard, who led the three of them into the study.

The study was filled with all kinds of books and documents, and the air was filled with the smell of old paper and ink.

An elderly man with gray hair, wearing reading glasses, and a serious expression was writing furiously at his desk.

"Academician Qian," Su Yue said respectfully.

Academician Qian raised his head, adjusted his glasses, and glanced at the three of them.

"You're from Hainan Island?"

"Yes, Academician Qian. This is our application report and related technical documents for the military family special drug laboratory. We would like to ask you to review and make corrections first."

As Su Yue spoke, she handed over the file folder with both hands.

Academician Qian took the document and began to read it without saying a word.

The study was eerily quiet, with only the rustling of pages turning.

Gu Nanxing and Chen Xinyue stood aside, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Su Yue, however, appeared extremely calm. She even had the leisure to look at the precious, out-of-print medical books on the bookshelf.

She was certain that Lin Wan'er and Qin Zheng would send people to keep a close eye on the report's whereabouts, ensuring that it was delivered to this most impartial "King of Hell" as soon as possible.

Sure enough, Academician Qian's reading speed slowed down more and more, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

His movements completely stopped when his gaze fell on the "Aconitine Toxicological Reaction Report".

He looked at the data several times, then took off his glasses and leaned closer to examine it carefully.

A few seconds later.

"Smack!"

He slammed a thick stack of reports onto the mahogany desk with a loud thud.

"Nonsense!"

Academician Qian stood up abruptly, his finger trembling slightly as he pointed at Su Yue, fueled by anger.

"Absolutely outrageous!"

He pointed to the altered figure on the report and angrily rebuked, "0.057mg/kg? Is this how you do academic research in your Hainan Island labs? You can't even get the most basic and crucial data, like the median lethal dose, wrong! This is blatant disregard for human life!"

Gu Nanxing and Chen Xinyue were so frightened by this sudden outburst of rage that their faces turned deathly pale.

Su Yue, however, remained standing ramrod straight, her face even bearing a perfectly measured hint of fear and guilt.
