After finishing her design work, He Yuhan thought she could relax for a while, but that evening Gu Qishen and He Zhenhua rushed back and told He Yuhan that her design drawings had been stolen.
He Yuhan was very surprised to hear this, "How could it have been stolen?"
Han Yixian frowned and asked, "Was it stolen from the Qinglong County Machinery Factory or lost while it was in your possession?"
Gu Qishen said, "It was lost at the Qinglong County Machinery Factory. After Yuhan gave me the blueprints, I quickly sent someone to deliver them to them, hoping that their factory's technicians could study the blueprints as soon as possible."
But this afternoon, a leader from the Qinglong County Machinery Factory came to see me personally, saying that the blueprints had been stolen. And both sets of blueprints were completely gone. Currently, the entire Qinglong County Machinery Factory is under lockdown to investigate the loss of the blueprints. We also need to investigate this matter.”
Han Yixian frowned and said, "Since this thief stole the blueprints, he must have known their value. Qinglong County Machinery Factory isn't a large or powerful factory, and their previous products weren't particularly outstanding. Outsiders probably wouldn't pay attention to their development of new products."
I suspect the person who stole the blueprints was an inside man; this thief knew the value of those two blueprints, which is why he stole them.
He Zhenhua said, "But why would this thief steal the blueprints?"
Gu Qishen and Han Yixian exchanged a glance upon hearing this. Gu Qishen said with a heavy expression, "It seems that even this remote place is not peaceful. The person who stole the blueprints must have been planning this for a long time, and it is very likely that it was done by foreign forces."
It's likely that the recent large-scale activities of the Qinglong County Machinery Factory attracted their attention. The Qinglong County Machinery Factory itself lacked strong defensive awareness, so they were able to get away with it.
Han Yixian nodded and said, "I agree with your opinion. I estimate that it was an outsider brought in by our Qianyuan County. The Qianyuan County Machinery Factory has been very successful this year, which must have attracted the attention of some people outside."
It was discovered earlier that someone had infiltrated Qianyuan County. So, the sudden large-scale activity at the Qinglong County Machinery Factory inevitably attracted their attention. Just as you said, the Qinglong County Machinery Factory's inadequate security allowed them to take advantage and steal the blueprints.
Gu Qishen nodded and said, "It's very likely that it's as you said. However, this incident has served as a wake-up call for many people. This matter won't be over anytime soon, and we will definitely be investigated as well, but it should be nothing serious."
Yuhan has been being careful lately. Let's not go to the county machinery factory for now; she's pregnant anyway, so that's an excuse. I'm worried someone might use this incident to find out Yuhan's identity as the designer.”
Han Yixian said, "It's also possible that someone is trying to use this incident to lure out Yuhan, the designer. We really need to be more careful."
Does anyone at the Qinglong County Machinery Factory know Yuhan's identity?
Gu Qishen said, "Nobody knows. The factory director of Qinglong County Machinery Factory only knows that I gave them the blueprints; I haven't told them that Yuhan was the designer of the blueprints."
The rest of the people who knew a little about it only knew that the blueprints were provided by our county. I guess they would think of our machinery factory, but they probably wouldn't think of Yuhan coming here.
Han Yi nodded and said, "That's good. There must be a mole inside the Qinglong County Machinery Factory, otherwise the blueprints wouldn't have been stolen so quickly. Let's keep an eye on how things develop. I'll also send someone to investigate."
If the person who stole the blueprints was after these two new products, then they wouldn't have wasted them; these products might be released soon. Then we'll know who stole the blueprints.
Gu Qishen said, "The production line of Qinglong County Machinery Factory has been almost adjusted. They will definitely come to me for blueprints again when the time comes."
He Yuhan sighed and said, "I'll just design two more models. The previous two models can only be sold domestically, and their designs need to be changed."
Han Yixian said, "Qi Shen, the Qinglong County Machinery Factory is looking for you. Delay it for now, don't let them think that these blueprints are easy to obtain. And even if they do give them to you, it will only be for the models you designed before. Don't rush the new Yuhan either, take your time designing it."
"You're pregnant now and shouldn't overexert yourself. Besides, if the mole isn't purged from the Qinglong County Machinery Factory, something else might happen. Let's wait and see."
As the group was talking, Zhou Zhengye arrived. He had also learned about the theft of the blueprints from the Qinglong County Machinery Factory.
Zhou Zhengye was also worried that He Yuhan's identity might be leaked, so he came to inquire about the situation. He was relieved to learn that no one at the Qinglong County Machinery Factory knew He Yuhan's identity as the designer.
He said, "I'm afraid the person who stole the blueprints is after the designer. We'll have to be more careful in the future. I've also strengthened security measures at our county's machinery factory."
Han Yixian said, "Zhengye, find someone else to be the designer of the product that Yuhan designed for Qianyuan Machinery Factory, and completely remove Yuhan from the picture."
Zhou Zhengye said, "Wouldn't Yuhan's credit go to someone else?"
Han Yixian shook his head and said, "Yuhan doesn't care about those credits. Her safety is the most important thing. You have to give up something to gain something."
Zhou Zhengye understood Han Yixian's meaning and agreed, "Alright, I'll make the arrangements when we get back."
He Yuhan had a backup of the blueprints for Qinglong County in her spatial storage; she could simply draw another copy. However, Han Yixian and Gu Qishen both told her not to rush. The most important thing for the Qinglong County Machinery Factory right now was to investigate the theft of the blueprints and purge the mole within the factory; otherwise, even if they gave her the blueprints, it wouldn't be safe.
The situation in Qinglong County is tense because of the theft of blueprints from the Qinglong County Machinery Factory, and even Qianyuan County has been significantly affected.
The city government takes this matter very seriously, as the lost blueprints are crucial and relate to the future of the Qinglong County Machinery Factory. It also indicates that unidentified forces have infiltrated Qinglong County, which must be dealt with with full force.
This incident prompted Han Yixian to strengthen security measures at the pharmaceutical factory. The factory contained many confidential documents, especially Yuan Qihua's laboratory, which held not only materials provided by He Yuhan but also Yuan Qihua's research findings. These were all very important; losing even a small part of them would be a huge loss.
Han Yixian considered safety when building the laboratory. He and He Yuhan designed the laboratory together, with He Yuhan incorporating many elements from later generations to make the laboratory even more secure.
In addition, Han Yixian arranged for his trusted people to be in charge of the laboratory's security, so it was very difficult for ordinary people to enter the laboratory, let alone steal anything from it.
Several days have passed, and there has been some progress in the matter of the missing blueprints, thanks to the efforts of the people Han Yixian sent, who uncovered some clues.
The blueprints were, after all, designed by He Yuhan, and now that they're lost, Han Yixian isn't sure if the person who stole them knew He Yuhan's identity as the designer.
He wouldn't allow any unsafe element to threaten the Dao family. So as soon as something happened, Han Yixian sent people out.
