It would be wonderful if the owner could remember the past.
The little tortoise scratched its head, thought for a moment, and said, "Master, I guess that's because you have memories of your past life, which is why you had that dream. As long as we spend time together, you'll remember your past sooner or later."
"I hope so," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, not wanting to disappoint the little tortoise.
He didn't want to possess the memories of that ancient god, but he absolutely had to remember his own past life's memories.
Huo Yingjie was sleepy and drifted off to sleep.
The little tortoise faithfully guarded its master and protected him until the master awakened!
The next morning, it was discovered who had switched the materials.
It turned out to be a cleaning worker responsible for cleaning. He said someone gave him a thousand yuan to do this. He had never met him; he would wake up early in the morning and find a letter, money, and fake M-materials on his windowsill.
This person was detained and interrogated further.
Because of money, this person betrayed his country and his colleagues.
Even if he isn't executed, he'll be imprisoned for life!
Qian Miaomiao and Tang Xinliang went to visit Zhou Yuanchao.
"Luckily, all four of us are innocent, otherwise I wouldn't be able to trust my colleagues anymore," Qian Miaomiao said. The others felt the same way; it was good that it wasn't them, and that they could still trust each other in the future.
Zhou Yuanchao smiled and said, "We have all passed political vetting and are loyal national soldiers."
“But Grandpa Hao did it too!” Qian Miaomiao said with emotion. “He did such a thing for money! Now Grandpa Hao says he has never seen that person, and the clues have gone cold again.”
“That’s not something we should be worrying about,” Zhou Yuanchao said. “By the way, how’s the boss? Have you guys gone to see him?”
“We went down for questioning yesterday, and when we went back this morning, the guards wouldn’t let us out,” Tang Xinliang replied. “But we believe our boss is innocent. Once the matter is investigated, he can be released.”
“Boss, of course I’m innocent,” Zhou Yuanchao said firmly. “Once I’m healed, I reckon you’ll be out too.”
“Actually, you don’t need to worry. I went to see Chief Engineer Sun, and he said that not releasing the boss is to protect him,” Qian Miaomiao said. “This incident is probably aimed at the boss; you just happened to run into him.”
Zhou Yuanchao stared in disbelief and said, "My God, those people must be targeting the boss. The content I did yesterday was originally for the boss. I finished my own ahead of time and then went to help the boss."
“Yes, there’s something wrong with the boss. This project has stalled, so…” Qian Miaomiao looked at Zhou Yuanchao with sympathy. Fortunately, Zhou Yuanchao was tough and his life was not in danger.
Zhou Yuanchao smiled and said nonchalantly, "Luckily it was me. If it had been the boss, who wasn't as quick as me, he probably would have been injured even more!"
Qian Miaomiao admired Zhou Yuanchao and said, "Yes, no matter what, you are great."
"Hehehe." Zhou Yuanchao was embarrassed by the praise. "Alright, you guys go back now. Keep a close eye on our project these next few days. We'll continue when the boss comes out."
“Yes, we understand,” Tang Xinliang and Qian Miaomiao said at the same time.
However, in the afternoon, Qian Miaomiao rushed over and said, "Zhou Yuanchao, something terrible has happened! Our project has been restarted, but the person leading this project is not our boss!"
"Huh?" Zhou Yuanchao exclaimed anxiously, "Why won't they let the boss come out and continue this project? Are they doubting the boss?"
"It seems so," Qian Miaomiao nodded, feeling uncomfortable that someone else had taken the credit for their hard work.
“This project is so rare, it probably won’t work without the boss. Let’s not panic for now,” Zhou Yuanchao said. “You guys wait a little longer.”
“How can we wait any longer? That person has already asked Tang Xinliang and me to be there tomorrow, to proceed based on the information in the boss's safe,” Qian Miaomiao said. “You know the boss's habits; he does thorough theoretical analysis before conducting any experiments. All the experiments we do are based on these. Maybe if someone else gets this information, they really can complete this project?”
Qian Miaomiao felt aggrieved. How could they do this?
Zhou Yuanchao squinted, filled with resentment, and said, "They're trying to discard the donkey after it has done its work! They're trying to reap the rewards!"
“Zhou Yuanchao, we can’t see our boss right now. You’re our pillar of support. What do you suggest we do?” Qian Miaomiao asked. “Let’s all ask them to release our boss so we can continue our experiments!”
Zhou Yuanchao thought for a moment and said, "Go find Chief Engineer Sun, go see the boss, and ask him what exactly happened!"
"Okay, I'll try my best," Qian Miaomiao agreed and hurried off to find Chief Engineer Sun.
However, Chief Engineer Sun was very busy and did not meet with Qian Miaomiao or Tang Xinliang.
Qian Miaomiao and Tang Xinliang are both stubborn; they won't work unless the boss is released.
In the end, it was Chief Engineer Sun who stepped in and persuaded Director Hua to let them meet with Huo Yingjie.
These past two days, Huo Yingjie has been cooking and eating for himself inside, enjoying his time there, a stark contrast to the anxious atmosphere outside.
Other scientists, while relieved, also felt sorry for Huo Yingjie.
Having excellent grades is a sin!
Whether it's hostile forces or pressure from above, you could be taken advantage of at any time!
However, Chief Engineer Sun is the fairest person, so such a thing shouldn't happen!
But now that this has happened, they are all feeling insecure!
When Qian Miaomiao and Tang Xinliang came in, they saw that their eldest brother was cooking!
"Oh? What brings you all here?" Huo Yingjie smiled. "Come on in, have you eaten? If not, I'll make you some more."
They were getting anxious and frustrated outside, but the eldest son was humming a little tune while cooking.
"Boss, how can you still eat?" Qian Miaomiao said angrily. "Don't you know things are in chaos outside? Our project is about to be snatched away!"
While cooking, Huo Yingjie poured a glass of water for the two of them, saying, "You're so young, why are you so hot-tempered? Drink some water to cool down!"
Tang Xinliang took a swig of water and said, "Boss, the person who caused the sabotage has been found, and it has nothing to do with you anymore. Why won't they release you and let us get back to work? Are they suspicious of your mother?"
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "But the person who gave Grandpa Hao money hasn't been found yet; he's still in the research institute. Aren't you worried and scared?"
“We’re worried and scared. But that’s the security department’s business. Now the project has restarted, and you’re not the leader anymore, and you’re still locked up here. What will outsiders think of you?” Qian Miaomiao said excitedly. What right did they have to do this?! (To be continued.)
