Linda quickly put down her coffee cup and carefully observed the expression on Gu Zhiyun's face.
Previously, Gu Zhiyun had never shown any interest in the United States, but now he was inquiring about the research environment there with great interest.
What does this tell us?

My plan is starting to work!
Imagine a young man who is a genius, hardworking, ambitious, and dedicated to his country, suddenly suspected of fabricating all his achievements and even having his ancestors investigated. Who could bear that?
Once her firm belief is shaken, that's the perfect opportunity for her to take advantage of the situation!
Linda confidently stated, "In the United States, we respect human rights the most. Every researcher receives the utmost respect. We don't easily doubt a researcher's achievements in their field and we especially emphasize individual value. Yun, a rare talent like you can apply to the best universities in the United States and follow top mentors like Professor Lyon. In the future, your annual salary will start at least in the millions."
Gu Zhiyun's expression didn't change much, but he was secretly mocking her in his heart.
He thought Linda had some superb persuasion skills, but in the end, it was just the same old "sugar-coated bullets" that Old Man Xu had mentioned long ago.
Unfortunately, these seemingly tempting conditions failed to sway him at all.
Because besides fame and money, there are things he values even more: his sincere heart as a Chinese citizen, his fervent desire to serve his country, and his gratitude.
Furthermore, the people he cares about most are in China, and he has many wonderful expectations for the future. He wouldn't give up everything and run to the other side of the ocean for a small investigation.
But he feigned interest and continued, "So, according to you, if I go there, I'll have a bright future?"

Linda immediately promised, "Yun, as long as you go to the United States, Professor Lyon will immediately recruit you. His reputation in the aerospace industry is no less than that of Professor Xu, and the United States' technology is the world's leading. I believe that in less than half a year, you will be a world-renowned aerospace scientist."
Gu Zhiyun lowered his head and pondered for a while.
Linda was eager to get things done. Seeing that Gu Zhiyun was still a little hesitant, she continued to add fuel to the fire with the words she had prepared beforehand, hoping to make the fire burn even brighter.
“Yun, I know you have a lot to let go of, but your future is the most important thing. If you continue to stay in China, you will probably remain unknown for the rest of your life. Even if this investigation doesn’t find anything, it will be difficult to restore your personal reputation. Why not go to the United States? Once you’ve made a name for yourself, you can bring your family to the United States. Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?”
Gu Zhiyun raised his head and looked directly at Linda.
His gaze was deep, like a mysterious starry sea, drawing people in without them even glancing at him.
This was the first time Linda had been looked at so intently by Gu Zhiyun, and her heart began to race involuntarily.
"Linda, you sound so sincere, I'll think about it carefully."
Linda was overjoyed.
"However, there's something I hope you can tell me the truth. Given our current relationship, mutual trust and complete openness are the foundation of cooperation, don't you agree?"

"Yun, if you have any questions, just ask. I will answer them to the best of my ability."
Gu Zhiyun leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice:
"You know who reported me, right?"
Linda was startled and almost dropped the cup in her hand.
Gu Zhiyun spoke as if asking a question, but with a tone of certainty.
"Linda, I'm seriously considering going to the United States. It's a very difficult step for me, but once I make a decision, I won't go back on it. So, before this decision is finalized, I need to know the truth."
Linda believed Gu Zhiyun's words because Gu Zhiyun's expression was extremely focused and serious when he spoke, and it was impossible to tell that he was acting.
"I...I guess it might be Liang Junsheng..."
"Why him? Is it because he was caught stealing data from the lab and was subsequently kicked out of the research group by Professor Xu, so he holds a grudge against me?"
"That might be the reason..." Linda said vaguely.

"So what makes you suspect this is the reason I mentioned? Or are you saying that you were also involved in him stealing lab data?"
Upon hearing this, Linda stood up in a panic, spilling her coffee all over her coat.
Ignoring the unsightly stains on her expensive coat, she stammered, "Yun... Liang Junsheng stealing lab data was entirely his personal act, how could I possibly be involved... Who told you this?"
"He's a member of the research team, and he has the key to the safe. He can access the lab data anytime he wants, so why would he need to steal data in the middle of the night? Is Professor Lyon very interested in our data and wants to buy it at a high price to study it himself and then plagiarize our country's research results? And you, the reason you didn't go back to the US with Professor Lyon's team, was to get this data?"
Linda: "..."
She was momentarily stunned. How did the topic suddenly shift from Gu Zhiyun's trip to the United States to her interrogation?
Faced with the logically astute Gu Zhiyun, she had no reason to refute him except to keep denying it.
But she forgot that there's an idiom, "trying to cover up something only makes it more obvious," which perfectly describes her current behavior.
"When you saw that Liang Junsheng's theft failed, you encouraged him to report me and make a big deal out of my kinship with Professor Xu so that the investigation team would investigate me. And you took the opportunity to persuade me to go to the United States, didn't you?"
Linda, flustered and red-faced, retorted, "Yun! I sent you to the US for your future! Back home, they doubt your academic abilities and your character. What's there to miss about a country like that?"

Gu Zhiyun felt that by asking these questions, he had basically gathered enough evidence.
Anyone who isn't mentally challenged can tell that he was framed by Linda and Liang Junsheng.
Liang Junsheng was acting purely out of personal resentment, while Linda wanted to poach him.
He stood up, his back ramrod straight.
“I will not give up my faith and beliefs because of a small setback. I have yellow skin and black hair. My country gave me the opportunity to go to university and nurtured me. I will not betray my country for fame and money. No matter how good the United States is, it is not my home. Your intentions and methods are despicable to me.”
Linda stared blankly at Gu Zhiyun for a long while before drawing a conclusion from his determined gaze:
She'd been tricked.
She was both angry and ashamed, yet helpless.
He had no choice but to shake off the Gu family and leave.
She had barely left when Shen Jingyan entered the house.

The two turned on the tape recorder and listened to the recording from beginning to end.
Without a moment's delay, they immediately delivered the tape to the investigation team.
