Liu Hui understood that such a large workload might be relatively difficult. Seeing that the group of people couldn't help much here, Wu Linghua simply led a large part of the group out.
In the end, only Shu Ying, Jiang Yunzhou, Orlov, and Novich remained in the huge conference room.
The rest of the group waited outside.
Jiang Yunzhou looked at the thick stack of diaries and scoffed, "How can there be such stupid people? They do bad things and then actually keep records of them. Isn't this just taking notes for us in advance?"
Shu Ying gently rubbed her neck with one hand. She glanced at the first few pages and could tell what was going on. There wasn't anything particularly important in the beginning. It mainly recorded her work at the military factory and didn't involve any classified information.
"Perhaps people can sense their fate is coming to an end when they do bad things, but isn't that just right? It actually makes things easier for us."
Some of the data on the instruments started from the sixth diary entry, which Jiang Yunzhou found infuriating.
"So he'd been eyeing our stuff for a long time. No wonder he'd been acting so furtively lately. The director even said he'd award them the most advanced prize, but it turns out he was just feeling guilty. He was the last one to leave each night so he could find our data precisely."
Jiang Yunzhou didn't quite understand why anyone would betray their own country. How could different beliefs bring about such a big difference?
Shu Ying continued translating, pen in hand. With the help of the technical terms she had learned earlier, these ordinary things were a piece of cake for her.
The fact that he could translate a piece in less than ten minutes was so impressive that even Jiang Yunzhou was amazed by his work efficiency.
Despite not having seen her for years, she has not become rusty at all; on the contrary, she has become even more outstanding.
Outside, Ye Zhanying leaned against the wall, glancing into the window every now and then.
"Her mental fortitude is just too amazing! The atmosphere on set was so tense, and wasn't there supposed to be a lot of obscure words in that document? She was able to complete the task with such high concentration even though it wasn't in her area of expertise. If it were me, I would definitely be trembling with fear by now, and I might not even be able to hold the pen properly."
This time, Qi Zecheng surprisingly agreed.
“I think you have a point. I remember the first time we had a lab class, your hands were shaking so badly that you almost broke the two test tubes.”
Old stories were brought up again, and Ye Zhanying punched him on the shoulder in annoyance.
"If you really have nothing to say, you don't have to say anything. Nobody thinks you're mute. It's been so many years, why do you keep bringing it up?"
Xie Zhiyan naturally ignored the fight between the two and remained silent. However, the expression on his face was not good, and could even be described as indifferent. The two who were about to fight quieted down.
Qi Zecheng leaned closer, tilted his head, and stared intently at Xie Zhiyan's face, boldly voicing the question that had been nagging at him.
"It's been almost a whole day and I haven't seen you smile once. Tell me the truth, do you not like seeing Comrade Shuying and Jiang Yunzhou together?"
Xie Zhiyan glanced at him with some boredom, finding his words meaningless, and simply turned his head to stare intently at Shu Ying, showing no intention of answering him.
Ye Zhanying came over with a grin, "Actually, everyone can understand. After all, everyone has a little possessiveness. Besides, Comrade Shuying is so outstanding. If it were me, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting her be alone with other men either."
She just didn't say the more hurtful things.
Jiang Yunzhou and Shu Ying grew up together since childhood; they were childhood sweethearts. If it were someone else, they might be able to turn a blind eye. But they share the same interests, have the same education, and can even talk about anything and everything. This situation and circumstances are extremely dangerous.
Although Shu Ying and Xie Zhiyan already have two children and would certainly not have any feelings for Jiang Yunzhou, it doesn't mean that the other party has no other thoughts.
In fact, the way Jiang Yunzhou looked at Shu Ying was so obvious that his affection was practically radiating from his eyes; even a blind person could see it. No wonder Xie Zhiyan had such a stern face at a time like this.
Qi Zecheng straightened up and looked around listlessly.
"If you ask me, you should be more generous. After all, as men, we can't always be so petty. Besides, this is a different occasion. Comrade Shu Ying is doing this for the greater good. Fortunately, we have another talented person here. So don't act like a child anymore. Moreover, even if Jiang Yunzhou just watches, there's nothing he can do. The two of you are destined for each other, and no one can separate you."
Qi Zecheng's next words greatly pleased Xie Zhiyan, and to prevent the two of them from continuing to overthink, he took the initiative to speak frankly.
"I can't be bothered with you two. You're spouting such nonsense. I'm just thinking that there are still some traitors in the factory, but now that Shuying has been exposed, we definitely need to focus on protecting her. I just haven't figured out the specific measures yet."
Today, Shu Ying shines brightly here, and he is naturally proud. She is so hardworking and diligent, and she deserves to be recognized by more people so that her hard work day and night will not be buried.
But then again, he also felt guilty.
Even though he was already in the army, he still dragged Shuying into a dangerous situation, where even their two children might become sitting ducks.
