Hearing this, Cheng Lu, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "All I said was begging for mercy and crying out in pain, and trying to find out their identities. All of this conversation took place right under your nose."
He paused, his voice a little hoarse, as if he was extremely disappointed: "Even if I was an undercover agent, would I be stupid enough to pass on the information in front of you?"
"After you came back, you and Xiaofeng went hunting together. I stayed in the cave with Dr. Ke and the others. Even if I wanted to pass on the message, I didn't have the ability to do it!"
Cheng Lu was usually a mild-mannered person, but at this moment he was obviously a little excited and even a little self-deprecating.
"Now that I think about it, you were able to easily defeat those two guards because they were intentionally letting you off the hook, wanting you to keep coming back to investigate."
"I was so stupid that I was fooled by you. When they suspected you, I kept speaking well of you. Now that I think about it, I actually let a wolf into the house!"
Li Ziping stretched out his long legs and leaned against the wall. "Why are you talking about those useless things? You've been acting yourself out too much!"
He walked over and approached Cheng Lu. His enviable height brought a strong sense of oppression, which made people's heart palpitate.
"Li Ziping, what do you want to do by getting close to Cheng Lu?" Du Ji stood in front of Cheng Lu.
Li Ziping glanced at him and put his hand around his shoulders like steel.
Du Ji's face flushed and he tried to break free, but no matter how he struggled, the hand on his shoulder remained motionless.
"Let me go now, are you finally showing your true colors now?"
After Li Ziping controlled him, he ignored him.
Instead, he leaned over to Cheng Lu who was behind him.
He lowered his voice, looked at Cheng Lu, and whispered like a devil: "The sound of your screams and the length of your words, it was Morse code, right?"
Cheng Lu's pupils dilated instantly, and beads of sweat appeared on his usually flawless white skin.
His hands suddenly clenched, and the blood color on his palms faded and turned gray.
"Cheng Lu, are you still pretending?"
After all, they are all scientific researchers. They may not understand Morse code, but they have all heard of it.
With Li Ziping's testimony, everyone was somewhat shaken.
"You said it was? It was just you and Cheng Lu at the time. Maybe you heard it wrong?"
Feeling the force on his shoulder being removed, Du Ji jumped out again to refute.
"What a coincidence. My minor major in college was Morse code. It is noted in my file. You can check it when you go back." Li Ziping said slowly without panicking.
"As for being caught, I trusted Cheng Lu so much that I never thought of him as a traitor. Even if he was sending secret codes, I didn't realize it was Morse code."
"Until our first day here."
Li Ziping said calmly and confidently, "You all said that you have been traveling together in pairs these days, so it is hard to tell who is the undercover."
"Actually, that's not the case. Xiaofeng and I were outside dealing with prey that day, and it was Cheng Lu who came out to call us. He was the only one there at the time!"
"If I want to pass on a message, it has to be then!"
"That night, I thought carefully about what happened when I was arrested, and then I realized that he was speaking Morse code."
"There's one more thing you don't know. When we came back, Cheng Lu kept asking me about the password."
"At the time, I was confused as to why he asked me that. Now I understand. When we came out, besides Dr. Ke and Assistant An, I was the only one who entered Director Yan's office."
"He suspected that I knew the password, and he wanted to gain my trust so that he could trick me into giving him the password."
"If he hadn't met Xiao Feng, who knows what he would have done!"
As Li Ziping spoke word by word, everyone's expression became heavy.
Even Du Ji was moving his lips, not knowing what to say... or what to refute...
"Cheng Lu, I have presented all the evidence, what else do you have to say?"
"Is it really you? Why? Why..." Du Ji murmured. He looked distraught and seemed like he was about to cry.
There seemed to be tears in Cheng Lu's eyes, as if he was out of breath, and he suddenly started coughing, "You, cough, cough, you've said that, you've thought it through carefully, and everything is connected, what else can I say... cough, cough..."
Du Ji wanted to go up and support him, but was stopped by Fan Fei.
In fact, what Shen Huaiyu just said was half true and half false.
He discovered that something was wrong with Cheng Lu when they were hunting that day.
He discovered it after escaping from Boss Lei. Just when he wanted to knock Cheng Lu unconscious and tie him up for interrogation, Xiaoyu suddenly appeared.
This is why he had to hide for another two days.
"Control Cheng Lu first." Dr. Ke closed his eyes and said solemnly.
He is engaged in scientific research and often has undercover agents infiltrating.
After listening to Li Ziping's analysis, it is hard to tell who is the bad guy among them.
It's Li Ziping...
Judging from the way he acts, his identity should not be simple.
So Dr. Ke knew that next, he had to listen to Li Ziping.
Now, the person he trusts most is Li Ziping!
Fan Fei found a rope and, together with Li Ziping, tied up Cheng Lu.
Du Ji remained silent and sat dejectedly aside.
Judging from his shaking back, he must be crying.
It can be seen that Cheng Lu’s incident was a huge blow to him.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I wronged you!" Fan Fei whispered to Li Ziping.
Looking at his attitude today, Fan Fei felt that he had never known Li Ziping.
It's like...
It's like a different person!
"He hid it too well and was able to win people's hearts! You don't have to blame yourself." Li Ziping patted his shoulder.
After dealing with Cheng Lu, Dr. Ke called Li Ziping aside.
"Comrade Li, I now know that you are not a simple person. What should we do next? Do you have any instructions from above?"
Shen Huaiyu's eyes narrowed. Dr. Ke must be fine, but Assistant An beside him is not sure whether he is safe.
"Dr. Ke, to be honest, I suspect there are two people undercover this time. In addition to Cheng Lu, there is another one who is hiding very deeply."
Dr. Ke exclaimed: "How could this happen?!"
"Yes, you know how important the scientific research data is. It is understandable that the enemy would spend a lot of money on it."
If the research data were lost, the entire northern region's industry would be hit hard.
