"Okay. Take the samples to be sealed and stored properly, then go home and rest, and wait for my notification tomorrow."
"Comrade Su, aren't you going in?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.
Su Tang shook her head: "It's too late today, everyone is tired. Once you've finished your business, go home and rest. We can arrange other matters tomorrow."
After saying that, she watched the two walk into the gate of the research institute until their figures disappeared.
Without hesitation, she turned around, wrapped her coat tighter around herself, and strode towards the military headquarters, braving the biting wind of the plateau night.
Night had fallen, and outside Deputy Commander Liu's residence, two heavily armed guards stood ramrod straight.
Su Tang's appearance immediately alerted them.
"Comrade, this is the commander's residence. Please leave immediately." A guard stepped forward and stopped her, his tone stern and his eyes sharp.
Without uttering a single word, Su Tang directly pulled something out of her pocket.
It was her own medical staff work permit from the military hospital.
She handed over her identification:
"I am Su Tang, the wife of Qin Ye, the commander of the 52nd Infantry Regiment, and the deputy chief physician of the Department of Surgery at the Military Region General Hospital. I have something I must see Deputy Commander Liu about. I would appreciate it if you two could help me make this request to the Deputy Commander."
The guard took the ID and swept the light of his flashlight over it.
Looking at the woman in front of me, although she was young, the calmness and anxiety in her eyes were undeniable.
He dared not be negligent.
"Please wait a moment." The guard didn't dare to delay and immediately turned around and went inside to report.
Soon, the door opened, and Deputy Commander Liu, wearing a military overcoat and looking tired and puzzled, came out in person.
He was just about to rest when he was alerted by an urgent report from his guard.
He invited Su Tang into the house.
"Comrade Su? What brings you here so late?" Deputy Commander Liu's gaze fell on Su Tang.
He remembered this girl, Qin Ye's wife, who had solved a major spy case in Shanghai and suppressed bandits in Langcuo Village. She was a very capable person, but what urgent matter could it be in the middle of the night?
Under Deputy Commander Liu's scrutiny, Su Tang, without any preamble or hesitation, cut to the chase and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Deputy Commander Liu, today I was conducting scientific research and exploration at 'Devil's Slope' on the western hill of Sun City and discovered a secret strategic mine controlled by foreign forces and guarded by armed forces."
As soon as the words were spoken, the air between the two of them froze instantly.
The fatigue and doubt on Deputy Commander Liu's face vanished instantly.
"……What did you say?!"
Deputy Commander Liu led Su Tang into the study, and the door to the study was tightly closed.
The atmosphere inside the room was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Deputy Commander Liu personally poured Su Tang a cup of boiling water, but he himself did not sit down. Instead, he paced back and forth behind the desk, each step making the floor creak, showing his extreme unease.
He stopped, placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and looked at Su Tang with his hawk-like eyes: "Comrade Su, tell me everything you've seen, heard, and guessed, without omitting a single word!"
