Gu Zhen's expression changed slightly upon hearing the name.

He gave Fu Mingxue a strange look, then hesitated to speak.

Fu Mingxue: ...?

What does that look mean?

“It’s hard to say about him.” After saying this, Gu Zhen added, “Didn’t Director Zheng mention him to you?”

Fu Mingxue found his words even more puzzling.

What does he mean by that?

Also, aren't he and Li Zhao best friends?

What happened that she doesn't know about?

She's not the type to ask a lot of questions.

He simply said, "I have something to take care of first."

Gu Zhen nodded, "Okay, you go ahead and get busy! By the way, you'll be there tomorrow, right? I'll show you the experimental data of our group's new material."

"Okay," Fu Mingxue replied, and then left.

As she left, what she didn't notice was that Gu Zhen stared at her departing figure for a long time, his gaze extremely complex.

Fu Mingxue then arrived at Director Zheng's office.

When Director Zheng saw her come in, he told her to close the door.

This mysteriousness surprised even Fu Mingxue.

However, she still closed the door.

"Director Zheng, what do you need me for?"

"Li Zhao has been dismissed from his post."

Fu Mingxue was extremely surprised when he said this.

"What happened? What did he do?"

Do you still remember Chu Yu?

Upon hearing Director Zheng's words, Fu Mingxue's mind raced. "You mean—Li Zhao is involved with that Chu Yu?"

"Yes, he and Chu Yu are brothers, but they were separated at birth. However, Chu Yu reconnected with Li Zhao five years ago."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

"Back then, Chu Yu's mother took him abroad and they lived there ever since. Later, after learning about Li Zhao's identity, they got in touch. Chu Yu and Li Zhao never contacted each other in public, so we were unaware of this relationship when we were investigating Chu Yu. They hid it very well."

"Also, it was Li Zhao who revealed your identity to Chu Yu. Chu Yu promised that after obtaining some core data from the research institute, he would no longer contact Li Zhao. In addition, after your identity was exposed, those people wanted to kidnap you. They wanted you to work for a foreign research institute."

"Also, this time Li Zhao turned himself in. He has confessed everything."

Fu Mingxue found it hard to digest what she was hearing.

The head of a core research project team turned out to be a traitor?

It's really hard to believe.

"So, Gu Zhen is now in charge of the materials team?"

No wonder his eyes looked so strange when he first saw Gu Zhen.

Director Zheng nodded, "Yes, we have already investigated Gu Zhen. He is definitely not a problem. The main reason is that he is very capable. No one is more suitable for the position of head of the materials group than him."

If Gu Zhen isn't promoted, then the materials group will be in a rather troublesome situation.

Although Gu Zhen and Li Zhao were very close and had a very strong relationship.

But it must be said that these two are truly talented.

Most importantly, Gu Zhen's family background is extremely prestigious. Even if he is close to Li Zhao, it is absolutely impossible for him to collude with Li Zhao in corrupt practices.

"Okay, I understand. By the way, Director Zheng," Fu Mingxue looked up at Director Zheng, "how many days ago did this incident involving Li Zhao happen?"

She was referring to the time when the man surnamed Li turned himself in.

After all, even Qin Wenhuo didn't know about this.

If Qin Wenhuo knew, he couldn't possibly not tell him.
