Researcher Tian looked at Researcher Hou with a frustrated expression, but dared not say a word under the threat of Hou's waving fist.

Lin Chuchu couldn't stop laughing; these two were just too funny.

The people around watched the younger generation making a fuss with smiles, and no one remembered Lu Ming who had left.

After Lin Chuchu finished eating and drinking, she walked back with the guard. "Comrade Lin, you should stay away from that Comrade Lu in the future. I always feel that he is a little mentally unstable."

Lin Chuchu chuckled; the guard's description was too apt.

The room was a bit cold, but luckily all the things Lin Chuchu had bought had arrived. Before going to bed, she plugged in the electric blanket to warm up the bed and filled a hot water bottle before finally lying down to sleep.

Tomorrow is Sunday, so she can take the fabric that was delivered to be made into a duvet cover.

There are small shops run by military spouses in the base, where they can help with sewing and mending.

Knowing that it was a woman who bought the fabric, I specifically chose a yellow one with small flowers, which looks very cute.

The next morning, Lin Chuchu got herself ready, went to do morning exercises with the troops, and then set off with the fabric in her hands.

The bed is 1.8 meters by 2 meters, and the mattress and duvet cover are the same size. There was a little fabric left over, which was just enough to make two pillowcases.

On my way back, I happened to pass by the National Guard Office. I called home to tell them that I had been transferred back to Beijing and that I would visit them when I had time.

I changed the sheets and duvet cover because my period is coming soon, so I thought I'd take a shower before it starts.

Most of the people who come here to shower are family members, including researchers' families and some military families.

Lin Chuchu was fair-skinned and clean-cut, with a scholarly air about her, giving her a unique presence.

"Comrade, are you a military family member? Are you new here? I don't think I've seen you before."

An older woman taking a bath came over, smiling and asking for information, her voice carrying a slight southern accent.

Lin Chuchu smiled and shook her head.

"Auntie, no, I'm from the research institute."

"You're a researcher? There are female researchers too? Wow, you're really amazing. Researchers are usually college graduates."

"What's your name, young man? Where do you live? Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?"

Lin Chuchu couldn't stand the older woman's enthusiasm and said directly, "I have a boyfriend and we already have two kids."

When the older woman asked again, she didn't really answer.

The older woman looked regretful; her son didn't even have a girlfriend yet, and when he finally met a good one, she got married.

Unable to stand her nagging, Lin Chuchu asked the guard to rub her back, and then the two of them ran to a secluded corner.

Now that there are time limits for showering, it's not allowed to waste time, so the old lady left in no time.

Lin Chuchu complained in a low voice, "Why don't we have a separate shower room for researchers here?"

"Yes, there are, but they are for male staff. After all, there are more male researchers than female staff, and fewer family members accompany them, so there are no women's bathhouses."

The guard explained.

Lin Chuchu was speechless. Okay, she understood.

She's starting to miss the private bathroom in her old base room.

The weather in the south is hot, so you need to shower frequently, otherwise you'll smell bad after a day of experiments.

It's different here in Beijing; having a large public bathhouse is already considered quite good.

After taking a shower, Lin Chuchu felt as if she had shed a layer of skin, and it felt incredibly comfortable.

I felt much more refreshed and invigorated.

Nothing much happened after that. After lunch, I went to the convenience store to buy some snacks before returning to my accommodation.

On Monday, Lin Chuchu walked towards her office.

For some reason, she felt that many eyes were on her the whole way.

Lin Chuchu thought there was something wrong with her clothes, but when she looked down, she didn't find anything amiss.

Before entering the office building, Lin Chuchu ran into Researcher Tian and his team.

Lin Chuchu asked curiously, "Why are they looking at me so strangely? Do you know why?"

The group looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Researcher Tian said, "We heard early on that some people from above came looking for you, and some people said it was about espionage."

The sound gets softer towards the end.

Lin Chuchu was stunned for a moment. Her first thought was, "Could Mu Chen have gone undercover again?"

Before she could say much, Lin Chuchu was called over by Academician Li.

Academician Li said seriously, “Comrade Lin, some of your colleagues are looking for you. Don’t be afraid, just say what they have to say.”

The other party didn't explain what they meant, but judging from their serious expressions, he feared things weren't simple.

However, those who can enter the research base have all undergone layers of political vetting, and he didn't think Lin Chuchu would have any problems.

If something really happened, it only proves that Lin Chuchu is a very good at hiding her true intentions.

Academician Li knocked on the door, and after someone inside said "Please come in," Academician Li gestured for her to go in herself.

Lin Chuchu took a deep breath before opening the door and going inside.

There were four people in the room, and when Lin Chuchu walked in, all four of them turned to look at her.

While they were sizing up Lin Chuchu, Lin Chuchu was also sizing them up.

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing glasses pushed up his glasses and suddenly asked.

"Comrade Lin, we've called you here because we have a few questions we'd like to ask. Do you know Zhao Guoqing?"

After speaking, he stared intently at Lin Chuchu, trying to discern her subtle expression and plan from her face.

Zhao Guoqing?

Lin Chuchu frowned, the name sounding somewhat familiar.
