Ye Qinchuan didn't expect that before they could even implement the plan they had just come up with, they would hear the good news that Professor Hu had been released.
But while this is good news for Professor Hu, it may not be so for them.
Could it be that the mole knows their plan?
But only Suya and he knew about their plan.
Neither he nor Su Ya could have leaked this information, so who could it be?
Ye Qinchuan fell into deep thought.
He always felt there was a fog ahead, and if he cleared it away, he would find the truth.
"Boss, what should we do next?"
Ye Er's voice brought Ye Qinchuan back to his senses.
So Ye Qinchuan asked again, "What's different about Professor Hu's return compared to before?"
“Our people said that Professor Hu was brought back by several people, and that Professor Hu’s walking posture seemed a bit off. I suspect he was injured, and after he came back, he locked himself in his room. He hasn’t come out yet.”
Upon hearing Ye Er's words, Ye Qinchuan suspected that these people might have tortured Professor Hu.
It seems the original intention was to cripple Professor Hu.
"Ye Er, make arrangements to send Niu Hongfeng back. But remember, don't say anything unnecessary to him. Just tell him that Professor Hu is fine. The higher-ups just asked him to go and ask some questions. They'll release him after that."
Ye Qinchuan gave his instructions.
"Okay, boss. I'll get right on it. Oh, and one more thing, is the meal I asked you to deliver ready?"
"Everything is ready, and I'm on my way to your house now."
After saying that, Ye Qinchuan hung up the phone.
Back in the living room, I saw that Suya was already up.
The person leaned back on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought.
"Ya Ya, you're awake?"
"I accidentally fell asleep just now."
"I'm sorry, Ya Ya, you've had to go through so much trouble with me these past few days."
"It's nothing, did something happen?"
Su Ya noticed that Ye Qinchuan's expression was a bit off, so she asked him.
"Indeed, something happened. We have received the latest news that Professor Hu has just been released."
Su Ya did not say anything after listening.
This was indeed somewhat unexpected for them. Just yesterday, the two of them found six professors who had been missing for half a month, and today Professor Hu was released. Su Ya felt that there was something she had overlooked in this matter.
Where exactly is it?
Who is behind this?
Not only Su Ya was thinking about it, but Ye Qinchuan was also thinking that this matter was a bit too strange.
What are you going to do now?
"I think I should go see Professor Hu first, and then make further plans."
"Let's go, let's go now."
Suya got up from the sofa.
A thought suddenly occurred to her: she absolutely had to meet Professor Hu.
"Ya Ya, wait a moment. I asked Ye Er to order dinner, it will be delivered in a bit. You haven't eaten much all day."
Ye Qinchuan said with concern.
After hearing this, Su Ya sat back down on the sofa.
That's true. I only had some snacks and fruit in the afternoon to tide me over, and I haven't eaten anything else since.
Ye Qinchuan's words made me realize I was truly hungry.
A while later, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Qinchuan went to open the door and saw Ye Ershou carrying two full food boxes.
"Boss, I've already sent him back."
"Did Niu Hongfeng have any doubts?"
"No."
Ye Er was about to leave.
Then Su Ya suddenly stood up and said, "Ye Er, send someone to monitor the homes of Professor Hai Qing, Professor Ming Yuan, Professor You Dequan, Professor Hong Song, Director Li Ran, and Director Xie Zhongqing, and see who comes in and out."
"Okay, Miss Su."
After Ye Er finished speaking, he left.
Ye Qinchuan walked over carrying a food box.
"You suspect them?"
“I’ve been thinking about this. We just said that Professor Hu was arrested and we were about to rescue him when he was released. At the time, only these six people, you and me knew about this. So I have to suspect that the real mole is actually hidden among these six people, because they all disappeared, so there was no one to replace Professor Hu in his work.”
"If you want Professor Hu to get into trouble, the only people who can access his work are senior experts who work with him on research into new drugs. The higher-ups won't send someone who doesn't understand this area to handle this matter."
"But the mole probably didn't know that the other five people remembered the hidden matter and lured the mole out. Moreover, it happened so suddenly that he probably didn't have time to communicate with the other party, which caused their plan to go wrong. Professor Hu was arrested as planned, but those people later found that they couldn't find a mole to replace him. The experiment was urgent, so they had no choice but to release Professor Hu. After all, this new drug still has many imperfections. They wanted to wait until Professor Hu and his team finished developing the new drug before taking action."
Ye Qinchuan picked up where Su Ya left off. He hadn't quite figured it out before, but after Su Ya explained, the whole story made sense.
"There's also someone else who's definitely keeping watch in the family building where the mole is, to see if we've hidden him. But we called the police, they went but didn't find him. Then you and I went too, but we didn't find him either. So now those people suspect that a third organization is involved in this, trying to compete with them for this new drug."
Su Ya and Ye Qinchuan worked together to finally piece together the whole story.
"Ya Ya, who do you think is the mole among these people? Professor Hai Qing, Professor Ming Yuan, Professor You Dequan, Professor Hong Song, Director Li Ran, or Director Xie Chongqing?"
"If you want to know who the mole is, just see who comes out first when Ye Er is staking out the place."
Su Ya said in a cold tone.
"You think the mole will come out? But that would make them too obvious. The six of them eat and live together every day. If one of them suddenly disappears, it will definitely arouse suspicion from others."
"I believe this mole must have already figured out a way?"
"You mean a body double?"
"It's very possible. If we put someone who looks exactly like them in, it won't arouse their suspicion. Judging from our interactions with them today, apart from Professor Haiqing and Professor Mingyuan, the others are unwilling to communicate with people. Professor You Hongquan is probably the most respected person there. His words carry a lot of weight, and the others will listen to him."
Suya recalled her meetings with those people today.
Professor Hong Song, in particular, didn't say a word and was clearly distracted. When he heard Su Ya and the others mention the mole, his hand trembled involuntarily. Thinking that no one had seen it, he quietly pulled his hand back into his sleeve.
