Aunt Liu was silent for a long time, as if she was having a fierce ideological struggle, and finally sighed: "Okay, I'll tell you. I was buying vegetables at the market that day and ran into Mrs. Zhang from the compound. She told me mysteriously that she saw Lin Zhiyue with a few dubious people and her behavior was very suspicious. I was curious at the time, and when I came back to chat with a few old sisters, I mentioned it casually. I never thought it would turn out like this."
Wen Yu frowned and asked, "Aunt Liu, are you sure it was Aunt Zhang who said that?"
Aunt Liu nodded: "That's what she said, otherwise how would I know."
Lin Lang and Wen Yu thanked Aunt Liu again and left.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the path where Lin Lang and Wen Yu were walking home.
Wen Yu's face turned ashen, anger boiling in her chest, and every step she took was filled with great force, as if she wanted to trample the resentment in her heart into the ground beneath her feet.
"Okay, I was wondering who was so wicked to spread gossip about my Zhiyue, and it turns out it was the Zhang family who has always been at odds with our family! They are really great, they love to fight openly and secretly on weekdays, but this time they actually resorted to such despicable means and used the child to spread rumors. It's simply too much!" Wen Yu became more and more excited as she spoke, her voice unconsciously rising, her hands clenched into fists, and her knuckles turned white.
Seeing Wen Yu's tone, Lin Lang felt distressed. He quickly put his arm around her shoulders, slowed down his speech, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Wife, don't be angry yet. It's not worth it if you get angry and hurt yourself. This matter is not that simple. Maybe there is a hidden story behind it. Let's go back first and tell Dad everything. He is experienced and may be able to help us figure it out."
Wen Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but her brows were still tightly furrowed, and the anger in her eyes had not subsided: "I just can't swallow this breath. Zhiyue is so young, how can they have the heart to operate on the child."
Lin Lang patted Wen Yu's back gently and said softly, "I understand how you feel. I am also very angry. But we have to stay calm. Impulsiveness will not solve the problem. Go home and discuss it with Dad first. I'm sure we can come up with a solution to give Zhiyue justice."
As he spoke, he quickened his pace home with Wen Yu, his figures hurriedly walking under the moonlight.
The two returned home quickly. Lin Weidong was already waiting in the living room. When he saw them come in, he immediately stood up and greeted them.
Seeing Wen Yu's angry face, Lin Weidong's heart tightened, and he asked hurriedly: "What's the matter, did you find out anything?"
Wen Yu suppressed her anger and recounted in detail the news she had learned from Aunt Liu and the situation of the Zhang family.
After hearing this, Lin Weidong's face became solemn. He slowly sat on the sofa and said after thinking for a moment: "The Zhang family has always had some conflicts with our family, but this time they really went too far. However, as Lin Lang said, there may be other reasons behind this."
Lin Lang nodded in agreement: "Dad, I also think that things are not that simple. Even if the Zhang family has conflicts with us, they would not use the child to make rumors and cause trouble. This is not a trivial matter."
Wen Yu gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what the reason is, they can't bully people like this. Tomorrow I will go find that Mrs. Zhang, explain everything to her face to face, and ask her to apologize to Zhiyue."
Lin Weidong waved his hand: "Don't worry. If we go to her rashly and she denies it, we won't be able to do anything to her. We have to think of a comprehensive solution first."
The four of them sat together and began to discuss countermeasures.
Lin Lang suggested that they first inquire about Mrs. Zhang's recent whereabouts and activities to see if they could find out her motive for spreading rumors.
Wen Yu thought that they should find some people who had a good relationship with the Zhang family to ask indirectly, maybe they could get some useful information.
Lin Weidong listened to their suggestions and nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense. So, Lin Lang, you go around the compound tomorrow to see if you can run into Mrs. Zhang and observe her daily life. Wen Yu, find a chance to chat with people familiar with the Zhang family, but be careful not to alert the enemy. I'll also ask my old friends to see if they have heard any rumors."
Everyone nodded and reached a consensus.
As the night deepens, the moonlight outside the window is still bright, but the atmosphere in the house is solemn and tense.
Everyone was holding their breath.
Suddenly, a rapid phone call broke the silence, sounding particularly abrupt and urgent in the silence.
Lin Weidong was sitting on the sofa thinking about Lin Zhiyue's affairs. Hearing the voice, he quickly stood up and walked towards the phone.
He grabbed the receiver and a steady and deep voice came out: "I'm Lin Weidong, what's the matter?"
There was a slight electric sound from the other end of the line, followed by an apologetic and anxious voice: "Hello, Mr. Lin! I am the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I am sorry to bother you so late. It is like this, regarding a series of events that have happened recently, after much investigation, we have finally found some clues. There is indeed a hidden story behind this matter."
Lin Weidong's brows knitted together instantly, his expression becoming serious. He held the phone tightly and asked, "What happened? Please tell me in detail."
The president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences paused, organized his words, and continued, "The problem lies within our Chinese Academy of Sciences. The fact that Comrade Lin Zhiyue led a team to successfully research computers was leaked out somehow. We speculate that the news was probably leaked by someone with ulterior motives. Moreover, based on the current situation, the abnormal behavior against Comrade Lin Zhiyue in your military compound is most likely the work of enemy agents, who are likely trying to destroy Comrade Lin Zhiyue's research results or interfere with subsequent work."
