When the director asked this, he actually already knew the answer in his mind, but he was just deceiving himself in an attempt to reduce the losses.

Xiang Mianmian smiled awkwardly: "Uh, the manuscript I submitted this time is actually an expansion of the essence of this notebook, do you understand?"

Yes, he understands it very well.

The director looked as pale as death. It was just that he would also go to the army for investigation, so it was not a big problem.

He trembled his lips and said, "Comrade Xiang, such an important thing must be kept safe. Why don't you consider going to the military research institute?"

Even if he could escape this time, it would not be safe for Xiang Mianmian to continue living in his jurisdiction!

The director was worried every day that someone would break into the Xiang family's house and see the confidential documents. He was really worried that all the hair on his head would fall out.

Xiang Mianmian comforted him: "This theory has not been successful yet. It will be considered confidential only if it is created."

These words of comfort gave the director some psychological comfort, but not much.

If it was really a useless theory, why would the military value her so much?

Come on, as far as he knew, those people in the military would not give up until they saw the rabbit. This girl must have made great contributions to be treated so well.

Even if these theories are useless, they may prove that the research direction is wrong and have a certain impact on the correct theory.

All in all, he had no choice but to forget it this time.

The two of them looked at each other awkwardly in silence until the company commander arrived at the police station.

Xiang Mianmian briefly explained the situation, and the company commander immediately blindfolded the Xian family mother and son and put them on a military vehicle: "Take them all away! We're taking over this matter."

The army acted decisively and quickly found out the cause of the incident.

When the Xian family mother and son were at the police station, they were still able to stubbornly claim that they had no bad intentions. They firmly believed that the law was strict and they would not confess under torture.

Unfortunately, the military interrogation room is not like the police interrogation room where evidence is important.

The two could not withstand the interrogation and soon confessed the truth, admitting that they wanted to marry Xiang Lili, so they used some illegal means.

Originally, he wanted to trick Xiang Lili into Xian's house and knock her unconscious. After the affair, he would find someone to come and have sex with her. Then he would have her become his wife without any matchmaker and he wouldn't even have to pay a betrothal gift.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Lili was too cautious, so he had to go to Xiang’s house and use the medicine to make her unconscious before doing anything inappropriate.

Even at this point, Xian's mother still emphasized, "What's wrong with being my daughter-in-law? Baogen is an only child, and there are four jobs in the family waiting for her to inherit, and there are also several sisters-in-law at her beck and call!"

These conditions are not too bad. Even though Xian Baogen is blind in one eye, there are still many girls in the city who are willing to be with him.

The problem is that Xiang Lili doesn't want to!

She already has her crush on Yin Gan, and they are in a harmonious relationship, just waiting for the May Day wedding in a few days, and will get married at the end of the year.

The betrothal gift has already been given, the wedding room has been prepared, and they are just waiting for the wedding process to be completed to become husband and wife.

If it weren't for the unfortunate death of her uncle and the year-long mourning period, she might have had a baby by now.

Xian Ma looked at the military personnel and couldn't understand why she came here. Could she be sent to a military court for marrying a wife?

Even if Xiang Lili's brother Xiang Lihua is a soldier, he wouldn't give Xiang Lili such a big face, right?

The interrogator didn't want to know these family affairs. He slammed the table and said, "Tell the truth now! What are your intentions towards the Xiang family?!"

What he wanted to ask was whether the mother and son actually went to Mianmian's room?

Xiang Mianmian had already made up his mind and handed over his precious notebook, which contained complex and profound theories.

The company commander came forward to invite people from the county education bureau, but they said they couldn't understand the theory. They had already sent a telegram to the provincial capital, asking for an urgent secondment of researchers from W City to take a look.

What the interrogators had to do was to find out whether these two people had seen the notebook.

Not seeing is one kind of punishment, seeing is another kind of punishment.

Xian Ma and Xian Baogen were truly innocent: "Sir, I confessed everything. I just wanted a daughter-in-law/wife. I didn't do anything!"

They both swore to the heavens with sincere expressions, and it was impossible to get anything out of them.

The interrogators were proficient in facial expressions and body language, and confirmed many times that the two men were not lying, but simply had feelings for Xiang Lili.

But who can guarantee that they have not received professional training?

It was impossible for the army to let the two go so easily. They were kept in the interrogation room waiting for the importance of the notebook to be determined.

That night, researchers from City W urgently took a train to the small county town, but the four of them didn't think it was a big deal.

After all, the educational resources of a small county town cannot compare with those of a provincial capital. Even if there are some gifted people, they would have been selected to go to the city, province or even the country.

What shocking theory could there be?

But just treat it as a funded trip. Their brains are tired from doing experiments, so it's nice to go out for a walk.

This idea lasted until late at night, and it collapsed when they saw Xiang Mianmian's scribbled notebook in the military camp.

There is always someone better than you, and this old saying is true.
