Chapter 320 Back to Hainan Island!
Because Su Yue came up.
She wasn't holding any documents, only a miniature voice recorder.
“Vice Minister Li may not remember, but half a month ago, we arrested a spy named Fang Jianxing.”
Su Yue pressed the play button.
After the crackling sound of electricity subsided, Fang Jianxing's voice, distorted by fear, rang out.
"...My superior told me that as long as I ruined Su Yue's lab, the higher-ups would protect me... That leader's surname is Li, and he's in charge of logistics and research approvals... He even gave me a special approval slip..."
The recording abruptly stopped.
Su Yue took a crumpled piece of paper out of her pocket, unfolded it, and laid it flat on the table.
"This is the note. Although it was torn to pieces, it has been restored using technology, and the instructions and personal seal on it are still clearly visible."
Su Yue raised her head and looked at Vice Minister Li's distorted face.
"Vice Minister Li, you should be very familiar with this handwriting, right?"
One after the other, two heavy blows.
They hammered Vice Minister Li right into the ground.
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but found his throat felt like it was blocked with cotton, unable to utter a sound. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, dripping into his collar, icy and bone-chilling.
"This...this is all a setup..." He was still making a last-ditch effort, turning to look at the secretary who had been following behind him. "Xiao Wang! Say something! Has someone tampered with these documents?!"
The secretary, Xiao Wang, stood in the corner with her head down, trembling all over.
Upon hearing Vice Minister Li call his name, he abruptly raised his head.
Their faces showed no loyalty, only fear and resolute determination.
"Commander... I'm sorry."
Xiao Wang suddenly pulled a thick notebook out of his briefcase, held it high, and spoke in a shrill voice that was almost distorted.
"I'll report this! I want to atone for my crime by doing good deeds!"
"This notebook contains all the evidence of Li Gang's collusion with the remnants of the overseas capital group 'Bai Cao Tang'! Including call records, meeting times, and transfer details from overseas accounts!"
"It was him! He ordered Zhao Lichun to steal Comrade Su Yue's technology! His plan was to obtain the technology, resell it abroad through 'Far East Trade,' and then immigrate with his whole family!"
boom!
Now, the sky has fallen.
Colluding with foreign enemies to sell off core national technologies.
This is treason!
Vice Minister Li's legs gave way, and he slumped into a chair. It was over. Utterly over. He was deserted by everyone; the evidence was irrefutable.
Two military policemen walked onto the stage and lifted him up from the left and right.
Just moments ago, Vice Minister Li was all high and mighty, but now he was like a lump of mud, being dragged out. As he passed Su Yue, he suddenly looked up, his murky eyes filled with resentment.
"Su Yue...you're ruthless...you're ruthless enough..."
Su Yue didn't even glance at him.
She simply lowered her head to adjust her cuffs, her tone as indifferent as if she were discussing the weather.
"You flatter me."
As Vice Minister Li was taken away, thunderous applause erupted in the auditorium. This applause was a hundred times more enthusiastic and sincere than the one given to Zhao Lichun earlier.
This is a tribute to justice.
It is also a form of submission to the strong.
After this battle, Su Yue and her "Bacteriophage Project" firmly established themselves in both military and academic circles. Even a powerful figure like Vice Minister Li had been brought down by her; who would dare to mess with her now?
Qin Zheng walked to Su Yue's side, looked at the excited crowd below the stage, and a complex smile appeared on his lips.
"That was a brilliant move, using someone else to do the dirty work."
“Likewise.” Su Yue turned her head to look at her former enemy, now an ally. “Major Qin’s evidence came at just the right time. It seems the Qin family has reaped a great harvest this time.”
With Vice Minister Li gone, the vacant position and power vacuum will naturally be filled by the Qin family.
This is a win-win situation.
Qin Zheng shrugged. "It's a win-win situation. But..." He lowered his voice and leaned closer to Su Yue, "I'm genuinely interested in the commercial agency rights for your 'Phytophthora Project.' Want to consider it?"
"It depends on your performance."
Su Yue uttered four words, took Gu Beichen's arm, and strode out of the venue.
The sun is shining brightly.
In Beijing in autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light.
...
The cabin door opened.
A humid, hot sea breeze, carrying a salty, fishy smell, suddenly rushed into my nostrils.
One moment they were wrapped in a thick cotton-padded coat in the freezing cold of Beijing, the next they felt like they had been thrown into a steamer.
Su Yue squinted and raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sunlight.
This is Hainan Island.
Passionate, rugged, and uninhibited.
This long-awaited heat actually makes people feel at ease.
This feels like coming home.
I heard steady footsteps behind me.
Gu Beichen carried three huge suitcases in both hands, with a net bag full of Beijing specialties tucked under his arm, making him look like a moving small mountain.
Even when carrying a load of dozens of kilograms, his back remained ramrod straight, and his breathing was perfectly steady.
Guard Xiao Li was already waiting at the bottom of the gangway, and upon seeing this, he quickly ran up.
"Commander! Let me do it! Let me do it!"
Xiao Li reached out to take the luggage.
Gu Beichen sidestepped, his movements swift and decisive.
"Need not."
He refused decisively.
Has the car arrived yet?
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, his hand hanging in mid-air, unsure whether to retract it or release it.
"It's...it's coming over, it's over there on the tarmac."
Gu Beichen nodded and gestured with his chin toward Su Yue.
Go and hold an umbrella for her.
Realizing what was happening, Xiao Li quickly pulled a black umbrella from his bag and held it over Su Yue's head.
Su Yue turned around and glanced at her husband.
This person is just stubborn.
As long as she was present, he never let anyone else interfere with this kind of physically demanding work.
It's as if helping his wife carry her luggage is some kind of military achievement worth showing off.
"Let's go home."
Su Yue tugged at his sleeve.
The jeep sped along the winding coastal highway.
Outside the window are rows of coconut palms and the azure sea.
More than half an hour later, the car turned into the military compound.
Before it had even come to a complete stop, a commotion erupted in the yard.
"Woof woof woof!"
The big yellow dog barked wildly at the car door, its tail wagging like a propeller.
Next came two small, stumbling figures.
"Mama...Mama!"
Gu Ping'an, with his short legs, ran like a cannonball just fired from a gun.
Following behind was Gu Ningjing, who was swaying and calling out indistinctly.
"hug……"
The two little ones had clearly been playing wildly in the yard, their faces and bodies covered in mud.
Gu Beichen pushed open the door and got out of the car.
He opened his arms, squatted down, and a rare look of fatherly kindness appeared on his face.
"Peace, tranquility, Daddy's back..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Two small whirlwinds completely ignored his broad embrace, precisely bypassed his knees, and pounced on Su Yue, who had just gotten out of the passenger seat.
Gu Beichen: "..."
He remained frozen in place, arms outstretched.
A sea breeze swept by, carrying a few fallen leaves.
desolate.
Su Yue was knocked back half a step by the two little chubby babies, and her heart melted.
