“I don’t know what you were thinking at the time, but my thinking was very simple: whatever you bring, I will do my best to do it well. I didn’t think about anything else.”
Chu Xingyue spoke very sincerely, and her words were very clear: I will do my best to complete what you have given me.
Everyone knew Chu Xingyue's abilities and that she was telling the truth.
"Teacher Qi, I definitely need to finish my studies first. After all, in this environment, if I can't even finish the most basic studies, then if I have the opportunity to lead a bigger project later, my diploma will just be icing on the cake. I don't want to make things difficult for the teachers. After all, people's opinions can be a fearsome thing. Why should I let such things become the subject of gossip when I can do it myself?"
"I can't guarantee when I'll finish my studies, but I'll do it as quickly as possible. I'm ready to help whenever the teachers need me."
Chu Xingyue looked at the three elders in front of her. They were about the same age as her maternal grandfather. During the time they had spent together, they had not treated her as a student, but as a junior in their own family, showing her care and love. Chu Xingyue felt that she had met only kind and good people in her early twenties, and she was very fortunate to have met them.
Chu Xingyue enjoys being with this group. Although they sometimes argue, everyone is working towards the same goal, and no one is working here with ill intentions.
"Good, I knew I hadn't misjudged him. This is exactly the kind of person my apprentice should be."
Hearing Chu Xingyue's words, Zhang Jianshe knew that she was trying to put his mind at ease. After all, their child was studying two majors, and her time was very limited. He was happy that she could make such a promise to him.
He didn't want this person's talent to fade into obscurity; she should stand at the top of the pyramid, leading those who share the same dreams, ideas, and pursuits forward.
Ding Ming and Qi Anbang didn't feel as much as Zhang Jianshe. They only knew that hearing Chu Xingyue's words made them feel particularly gratified and happy that their country had such a talented person.
"Our main task now is to find these rats and prevent everyone's working and living environment from becoming a mess."
Ding Ming looked at the people in front of him and spoke.
"Please have the dean arrange for someone to put my mother with the teachers. We'll start our operation once the shift changers arrive from down the mountain."
Everyone was busy and organized, each doing their own thing. All the data was now on Chu Xingyue's hands, and no one knew that she had already completed all the data.
Time ticked by, and the central monitoring room broadcasted scenes from various laboratories.
The action at the foot of the mountain was swift. Gu Yanting and Xia Lin personally led a team up the mountain to relieve the shift. The area outside the research institute was now practically impenetrable; even a mosquito would have difficulty getting out.
The soldiers who were relieved were a little confused today. It wasn't time for their shift change yet, so why were they being relieved? Today, two high-ranking leaders came with their entourage to relieve them. Usually, they could just get in the car, but today they all came to the research institute. Did they have something to say?
This thought was on everyone's mind.
"Have you heard? We can take a vacation and go home for a while."
"Really? Didn't we say we couldn't go back until we finished our project? I've been prepared to not be able to go back for years. Has the project been finished? It hasn't been that long!"
Such conversations are like a gentle breeze carrying dandelion seeds, slowly drifting through every corner of the research institute.
Soldiers coming off duty have their own rest room. All the soldiers who have been relieved are in the rest room now, including those who are on rest today. According to regulations, the weapons they carry during their shift change must be returned to the armory.
So the soldiers who were relieved of their posts are now in the rest room, and the door to the rest room is not closed.
Suddenly, two soldiers with weapons began to speak quietly outside, even though no one inside could see them. The key to their quietness was that it was both loud and soft enough for the people in the break room to hear them.
"Hey, it's not our turn to take over yet, why are we already in charge?"
"You don't know yet? It's all over the researchers' heads. They're saying the data results are out and they can go home on vacation. Anyone who's unhappy is happy, but we're happy too. Now we don't have to switch shifts so often."
People outside were whispering, while those inside were listening intently.
"What are you saying?"
A reprimanding voice rang out.
"Company Commander!"
"What kind of time is this to be chatting like this? Hurry up and get to the front to gather, and all of you too."
"You rest here, someone will come to take you down the mountain later."
The crew-cut company commander spoke to the armed men in the rest area, and before leaving, he turned back to speak to the men who had been relieved in the rest area.
After a few turns.
One of them couldn't help but whisper to the person next to him.
"How did I behave just now? What was my tone like? Will I have been found out?"
"I don't know how I did. It's my first time doing something like this, and I'm quite nervous. Hey! Company Commander, are you nervous?" the young man asked the company commander next to him.
The company commander tightened his grip on his rifle, his heart pounding.
"Look at you guys, so easily frightened over such a small thing."
"Hey, I also think the company commander won't be nervous," one of them said, scratching his head sheepishly.
"Alright, everyone concentrate. We'll be following orders from now on."
Yes, yes.
In the main control room
Chu Xingyue, Gu Yanting, and Xia Lin were intently watching the expressions on everyone's faces on the monitor.
Suddenly, Chu Xingyue's eyes narrowed, and she pointed at one of them.
Gu Yanting pressed the communicator he was carrying.
"Second Company Commander, prepare for action."
Zhang Jianshe, Qi Anbang, and Chu Ning watched nervously from the side.
With each command issued, the rats that had infiltrated the research institute were caught. Surprisingly, several researchers had also infiltrated the research team.
There has been no questioning yet about the specific reasons or methods used to gain access to the research institute, but the thought of it is terrifying. It is astonishing that someone could infiltrate the institute in places you cannot see or imagine.
