"Speak, why did you do this? Who ordered you to do it?" Ning Yu's voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, making Liu Xiaodi feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He raised his head in horror, looking into Ning Yu's unfathomable eyes, feeling as if his secrets had been seen through.
"I...I..." Liu stammered, unable to say anything. He wanted to make up a lie, but found that any explanation seemed pale and powerless in the face of irrefutable evidence.
"Ning Yu, don't pressure him. I believe he's not that kind of person," Dr. Zhao said, unable to bear seeing Liu Xiaodi in such a sorry state.
“Dr. Zhao, I know you are kind-hearted, but this matter is of utmost importance. We must find out the truth!” Ning Yu’s tone was firm and unwavering. “If we don’t get to the bottom of this today, who will trust us in the future?”
Dr. Zhao wanted to say something more, but Ning Yu stopped him with a look. He turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping over Liu Xiaodi's work area, like a falcon searching for its prey.
"What do you want to do? Don't touch my things!" When Liu Xiaodi saw Ning Yu's actions, he panicked and struggled to stop Ning Yu, but was firmly blocked by Brother Wu.
"Brother Liu, you'd better behave yourself. You're the prime suspect right now. The more you try to hide it, the more suspicious people will become," Brother Wu said in a deep voice.
Ning Yu ignored their argument and carefully inspected every corner, every drawer, and even the trash can on Liu Xiaodi's workbench.
"How come there are metal shavings here?" Ning Yu suddenly discovered some tiny metal shavings in an inconspicuous corner. He picked up a little with his finger and examined it closely.
"This...this might have fallen off accidentally while we were repairing the equipment..." A fine layer of sweat appeared on Liu Xiaodi's forehead. He didn't dare to look Ning Yu in the eye, his eyes flickering, clearly trying to hide something.
Ning Yu didn't say anything. He stood up, walked to Liu Xiaodi's desk, bent down, and carefully observed the situation under the desk.
"What are you doing? There's nothing under my table!" When Liu Xiaodi saw Ning Yu's actions, his expression changed drastically. He wanted to rush over to stop Ning Yu, but was pulled back by Brother Wu.
"Calm down!" Brother Wu shouted sternly.
Ning Yu ignored him, his gaze fixed on an inconspicuous corner under the table, where something seemed to be hidden. He took a deep breath and slowly reached out his hand…
Ning Yu's fingers touched a cold, hard object, and he carefully took it out from under the table.
It was a small, finely crafted metal tool with a sharp blade that gleamed coldly in the dim light. Ning Yu examined the tool closely, his brow furrowing slightly, because he realized it was exactly the same as the tool he had found in the lab to sabotage equipment.
"What is this?" Ning Yu's voice was deep and powerful, as if it were squeezed out from between his teeth.
Liu Xiaodi's face turned deathly pale instantly. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a word.
“This is…” Dr. Zhao also saw the tool in Ning Yu’s hand. He was stunned. He couldn’t believe his eyes. This tool was exactly the same as the tool used to destroy equipment that was found in the laboratory before!
"Brother Liu, what exactly happened? Why is this tool under your table?" Dr. Zhao's tone became stern, and he stared intently at Brother Liu, as if trying to see right through him.
Liu Xiaodi's lips trembled slightly. He wanted to explain, but found himself unable to do so. He lowered his head, not daring to look Dr. Zhao in the eye, because he knew he had nowhere to run.
Ning Yu didn't speak. He just stared at Liu Xiaodi quietly, his eyes cold and sharp, like a sword piercing Liu Xiaodi's heart.
"Speak! Why did you do this?" Dr. Zhao could no longer contain himself. He grabbed Liu Xiaodi by the collar and roared, "Why did you slander Ning Yu? Why did you sabotage the lab equipment? What exactly is your purpose?"
Liu Xiaodi's body trembled violently as he tried to break free from Dr. Zhao's control, but to no avail. He looked up in terror at Dr. Zhao's face, which was contorted with rage, and knew he had no way out.
"I...I..." Little Liu stammered, but couldn't say anything.
"You'd better tell the truth!" Dr. Zhao roared, "or you will never let me go!"
Liu Xiaodi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, as if making a decision. He suddenly opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them.
“Okay, I’ll talk…” Liu Xiaodi’s voice was hoarse and low, “but…”
"But... it was Ning Yu who ordered me to do this!" Liu Xiaodi suddenly pointed at Ning Yu and shouted, "He gave me money to sabotage the lab equipment and then frame someone else! He even threatened me, saying that if I didn't do as he said, he would..."
Before Liu could finish speaking, Dr. Zhao interrupted him, "Enough! Liu, do you think I'd believe your nonsense? What other lies do you think you can come up with to deceive us?"
Dr. Zhao threw the metal tool in front of Liu Xiaodi and said sternly, "This tool was found under your table. What else do you have to say?"
Liu Xiaodi's face turned pale. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but found himself unable to defend himself. He slumped to the ground, knowing he had been completely exposed.
