Song Jingchuan and Li Hao walked down the long corridor and entered the back courtyard of the military hospital through the back door.
Li Hao and Song Jingchuan turned around at the same time and surveyed their surroundings from all angles.
The doctors who were supposed to be off duty at this time had already returned to their dormitories in the military area, so there were not many people in the backyard.
Li Hao lowered his voice and said, "Senior brother, I knew you would come looking for me. Your sister isn't missing; she was taken away."
With such a big incident, not only Si Muyang but also Song Yalan were taken away. After Li Hao learned about this, he knew that his senior brother would definitely come looking for him.
However, they were ordered by their superiors not to reveal Si Muyang's whereabouts, so all they could say was that Si Muyang had been discharged from the hospital.
Song Jingchuan asked in the same voice, "Who took them away? Is it related to the leak of classified documents?"
Li Hao said, "According to my inside information, it's because of this incident. Both of them, along with Si Muyang's two bodyguards, were taken to the small building at the very back."
Song Jingchuan's expression changed drastically, and he asked, "Is it the innermost building in our military region?"
Li Hao nodded.
Song Jingchuan's lips pressed into a straight line. Those who were taken there were the most heinous spies and agents.
In other words, Si Muyang and his sister were likely both labeled as spies and agents.
Li Hao said, "I heard that it was your sister who asked to go with Si Muyang. This matter originally had nothing to do with her."
Senior, that's all I know. I'm telling you this at a risk!
Song Jingchuan said, "Don't worry, even if you beat me to death, I won't tell!"
The two of them continued walking, continuing their conversation about what to eat!
However, in the cafeteria, Li Hao wanted to treat Song Jingchuan to cabbage stew with sliced pork, but Song Jingchuan thought Li Hao was too stingy and refused to treat him to sweet and sour fish.
The two had a huge argument in front of everyone. Song Jingchuan turned and left, while Li Hao muttered curses behind him.
Kind colleagues stepped forward to comfort Li Hao and tell him not to be angry. No one knew how heavy-hearted Li Hao and Song Jingchuan were at that moment.
Song Jingchuan got into his jeep and drove straight to the office building where Chief Zhao was located.
The military region is filled with office buildings, each serving as the office space for various departments.
Chief Zhao's office building was the most inconspicuous small building in the entire complex, and the inconspicuousness of the building was inversely proportional to Chief Zhao's position.
Song Jingchuan was stopped by the guards on duty as he walked to the entrance of the small building.
He stood obediently downstairs waiting for the guard to report.
Soon the guard ran downstairs and informed Song Jingchuan that he could go upstairs.
Song Jingchuan ran upstairs straight to Chief Zhao's office. Chief Zhao was his former superior before he left the military. He had given up martial arts to become a doctor, and now he was specifically responsible for the treatment of Chief Zhao and several other former superiors.
He stood in front of his old leader's office and shouted, "Reporting, sir!"
Commander Zhao's calm voice came from inside the room, "Please come in!"
Song Jingchuan pushed open the door and went inside, then closed it behind him.
"Commander Zhao, you know..."
Chief Zhao raised his hand and said, "I know all about it. The decision to arrest Si Muyang and Cheng Xiaokui was made unanimously by several of our senior leaders."
Song Jingchuan took a few steps forward and stood in front of Chief Zhao's desk, saying, "You know Si Muyang can't be a traitor! Cheng Xiaokui can't be a traitor either!"
Chief Zhao said, "I understand what you're saying. I trust Comrade Si Muyang and Comrade Cheng Xiaokui, but right now, only the two of them have access to the classified documents."
Do you know how serious this is? Qian Xuesen and his researchers had been studying intercontinental ballistic missiles for almost 20 years, and our missile was about to be test-fired. Then, all our research data was leaked and published in the New York Times!
Song Jingchuan's face turned pale; he knew the seriousness of the matter...
He shook his head and said, "This...this is impossible...there must have been someone else who also had access to the classified documents!"
Chief Zhao said, "That's what I think too. Even if it's just to find out the truth, we should bring those two back for detailed questioning. Don't you agree?"
Song Jingchuan said, "You're right... but if we can't find a third person who has access to the classified documents, then those two are prime suspects."
Commander Zhao stood up and said, "Yes...you're right...this is the last thing I wanted to see..."
Our country's top researchers, under the leadership of Qian Xuesen, made countless sacrifices in order to crack the intercontinental ballistic missile.
With intercontinental ballistic missiles, we will become the third country in the world to possess them!
Such deterrence is enough to make enemy countries wary of us, and we will then have a certain degree of influence in the world...
But now... such detailed data, including missile trajectory and ballistic data, have all been leaked, making it extremely difficult for enemy countries to intercept our missiles..."
Song Jingchuan said, "Someone must have had access to the classified documents. Who could it be? Could it be someone who had access to the classified documents when Si Muyang was knocked unconscious by the bomb?"
Chief Zhao said, "According to Si Muyang, when he was revived, his two bodyguards were holding him tightly, and his briefcase was in his arms being protected by him."
So before he was revived, no one had touched the briefcase, and after he was revived, the briefcase never left his hand.
Even during his surgery, he didn't use anesthesia at all; he endured it all so that he could stay awake and never let go of his briefcase.
The only mistake he shouldn't have made was that after returning to the capital, thinking he wouldn't survive the night, he went home to see Cheng Xiao Kui one last time..."
Song Jingchuan closed his eyes tightly and repeated what Chief Zhao had said, "He saw Cheng Xiaokui for the last time..."
When I examined his wound, it was indeed very deep and infected. He was also running a fever at the time, and his high fever worsened that night. He was very likely to die from complications of the wound infection.
He must have just barely made it through that night; he only survived because of his incredibly strong destiny!
Chief Zhao said, "I can understand his feelings, but his actions did violate our regulations and gave spies an opportunity to take advantage of us!"
Now all the suspicion lies with Cheng Xiao Kui! Only he and Cheng Xiao Kui had contact with the briefcase.
Jingchuan, I know you and Si Muyang are good friends, and I understand how you feel. To be honest, this is not the outcome I wanted to see!
But how can we investigate this matter if we don't bring them here? We can't act impulsively. Let Ye Feng investigate thoroughly!
You must trust Ye Feng's abilities! He's the most capable member of the special investigation team!
Song Jingchuan nodded slowly, just like the old chief said, Ye Feng's ability is indeed the strongest.
His head was throbbing with pain. How could he save his good brother and the woman he loved?
