Chapter 1007: Zhou Shen is creating a monster!
Gu Yin immediately applied for a channel and called Zhang Huanan.
The phone rang for quite a while before it was answered.
"Old sir, when will my friend be returned?"
Upon hearing Gu Yin's voice, Zhang Huanan immediately sighed, "She won't be able to go back anytime soon. She finished administering the injections to all the informants who needed them in just two days, and now I've brought her here as my assistant. Do you even know how much trouble that ledger you gave her has caused?"
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows: "What's all this commotion? I'm not familiar with their public security system, and I only know a few people in your military. I don't know anything. Let me get you a glass of water, and you can tell me slowly!"
After saying that, he called out to Wen Xin, "Bring me some sunflower seeds!"
Zhang Huanan: "...What, you've come here to eat melon seeds? You're not busy today? So free?"
Gu Yin coughed lightly: "It's all because I was running around for you guys, which exhausted me. I didn't sleep for a whole day and night, and the people at the base were worried sick. So, they're giving me a few days to rest. Just say so, consider it compensation!"
Upon hearing that she was taking a break, Zhang Huanan, who had originally intended to have her come over, immediately stopped talking after hearing what followed.
"Okay, I've just finished lunch and am taking a break, so I'll just give you a brief explanation."
The melon seeds arrived, and Wenxin, always up to no good, pointed to the seat next to her; she wanted to listen too!
Gu Yin nodded, munching on sunflower seeds as she listened to Zhang Huanan's vivid and engaging account of the ledger.
"Your ledger, the names on it made my heart clench. There was even the name of the third-in-command in the public security system! He was completely bewildered when he was summoned because he had been handling the Nightingale case recently. He had just gotten the evidence and hadn't even figured out what was going on when he was called away! Oh right, the third-in-command is Nightingale's boss, and he was also my former comrade-in-arms."
Gu Yin thought about the evidence Nightingale had obtained before, which was indeed rather fragmented.
"Judging from your tone, he's innocent? But if his name is listed there, then someone abused his power to do this. The person who could do this is obviously someone close to him, his child, or his relative?"
Zhang Huanan: "...is his wife."
"Oh wow!" Gu Yin thought about the other party's child but never expected it to be his wife.
"He's already in this position, why is his wife still so reckless and causing trouble?"
"It's a long story. My old comrade-in-arms comes from a rural area. It wasn't easy for him to get to where he is now. He's honest and incorruptible, and he doesn't have much money, unlike us who have some subsidies from our families. He really didn't have any. But now that he's in his position, his salary and subsidies are enough, much better than others. Sigh, it's all about desire. He just feels inferior to those who are rich, he feels looked down upon, and he feels it's not respectable to attend parties and such..."
Gu Yin interrupted him: "These things are too superficial. I don't think the wife of the third-in-command would turn to smuggling because of these things. If it were really because of those things, I think it's more likely that she would accept bribes. Didn't you investigate further?"
Zhang Huanan: "...Suspecting he's a spy, but not certain, still under investigation. His wife studied in a neighboring country for several years before they got married, so their marriage was vetted and investigated. They suspect he had contact with her after marriage. These are all speculations, still under investigation. But no matter what the result is, my old comrade-in-arms is finished."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin immediately lost interest. Whether the other party knew or not, someone in his position should be even more cautious. With his own backyard in such a state, even if he was innocent, he could not escape responsibility.
"Let's not talk about that. When will Gu Ran be back?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Huanan immediately replied, "We'll have to wait a while. Are you in a hurry?"
"That's not a big rush, but her identity can't be exposed. I'm afraid something might happen if she stays out there for too long. You should hurry."
Zhang Huanan nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Wenxin sighed, "It's better to do experiments."
Gu Yin chuckled: "Just stick to your principles, it's the same everywhere. Okay, go get busy."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Mr. Jin's phone rang.
"Come here."
Gu Yin went out after hearing this.
When they arrived at Mr. Jin's office, Chi Xing was already inside.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Old Jin waved his hand: "We got a call from above saying that Chi Xing's matter has been exposed internationally, and the finger is pointing directly at you. They say that Chi Xing is a monster you created, that you are conducting shady and immoral experiments, and that our country needs to give an explanation and that you need to come forward and answer! These bastards, they escalate every little thing to an international issue."
Gu Yin immediately thought of the man she had met in the mountains a few days ago. It seemed that this was their retaliation.
"What did they say?"
Mr. Jin handed the newspaper to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin took it and saw several large characters printed on it: "Nonsense!"
"Our government expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to any baseless and malicious slander against our researchers! Our scientific research attitude has always been open and transparent. We urge the relevant parties to immediately cease these unfounded accusations! The politicization and manipulation of scientific research is utterly despicable! We received relevant evidence a few days ago. Those who incite trouble, have you been overly active near our borders recently? Our territorial sovereignty is sacred and inviolable! Next time…"
Seeing these powerful words, Gu Yin laughed: "The diplomatic dream team is really cool!"
Upon hearing this, Old Jin smiled and nodded: "Indeed, we are much more confident than before. However, your matter is now out in the open. We haven't reached the point where the whole country knows about it yet, so you may have to reduce the number of times you go out in the future."
Gu Yin and Chi Xing didn't care; they only managed to take photos of Chi Xing, but they didn't capture any of Chi Xing's special abilities.
Even so, the internet began to buzz.
