"We have to hurry. Military training only lasts a week. If we delay any longer, it will be over. Actually, we've wanted to change the training for a long time, but the principal has always disagreed. As soon as we received the notice, we immediately decided to start implementing it this afternoon."
Gu Nanxun nodded upon hearing this. It seemed that their head instructor was still a good person. However, just to be on the safe side, he should still check everyone's information.
...
Over the next few days, Gu Nanxun conducted military training while secretly investigating the principal's background and interpersonal relationships. In addition to the principal, he also investigated the situation of all the instructors.
Meanwhile, the uncle's investigation also made some progress. Through his connections, he discovered a hidden force behind the principal. However, he didn't know if they had alerted the person behind the scenes, as they couldn't find anything about this person no matter how hard they tried. The more they investigated based on the superficial clues, the further they strayed from the truth. This made Zhao Jinxiang suspect that this clue might have been deliberately revealed by the other party.
That evening, Gu Nanxun secretly searched the principal's office, but made no progress whatsoever.
"What's wrong? You look so worried."
That evening, after dinner, Gu Nanxun sat on the sofa in the room, lost in thought. Lin Qing came over, reached out and gently massaged Gu Nanxun's head, smiling as she did so.
Do you remember what I told you about the principal?
Lin Qing paused her massage, thought for a moment, and continued to ask, "I remember, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Gu Nanxun moved his head to Lin Qing's lap, then sighed and replied, "The biggest problem is that there's no problem at all. My uncle and I have investigated the principal these past two days. He's too clean; he appears too clean on the surface. And I'm afraid we've already alerted him. My uncle has a feeling someone's following him, and he's been investigating based on superficial clues, but the investigation is only leading him further astray. I'm trying to figure out where to start to find a breakthrough!"
"Could it be that the principal is actually fine, and we've guessed wrong?"
"No, I've investigated all the training programs over the years, and they're simply child's play. Moreover, the school's curriculum has been strict on the outside but lax on the inside in recent years. It's impossible to cultivate any talent with this. This is supposed to be the best military academy in the country, and it's like this... If the principal is only capable of this much, how could he possibly be qualified to be the principal of a military academy?"
"Could it be that he got the principal position through connections? And that he doesn't actually have any real skills?"
“I’ve had the same suspicion, but I haven’t been able to find out who brought him in or whose connections he used. Moreover, from Zhao Aiguo’s words, I know that over the years, Zhao Aiguo and the head instructor have proposed training plans to the principal more than once, but the principal has rejected them all. This is too abnormal.”
Lin Qing thought about it carefully after hearing this, and then prompted, "If that's the case, then there must be someone behind him. Doesn't he contact that person? She definitely will. But how will she contact him? In person? By mail? By phone? There has to be some way!"
"It must have been a phone call or telegram. I checked the phone records in his office, and they were all deleted. The only calls left on the surface were normal ones. I guess... he must have deleted all the call records. It's a pity this isn't the future. In the future, there would be a way to recover the call records, and then we could trace the person behind him through the internet."
"Brother Nanxun, why don't we let Gu Bei give it a try? Doesn't Uncle have a phone in his office? Let Uncle bring Gu Bei to his office tomorrow to discuss it. Maybe Gu Bei has a solution! Their technology is more advanced over there; maybe it's already programmed into Gu Bei's system?"
Gu Nanxun pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded.
“We can try that. If that doesn’t work, we can do what you said before and give the principal a Truth Pill. We can’t delay any longer. The longer we delay, the worse the situation will become. We have to do it as soon as possible.”
"If you ask me, the fastest way is to just give him the Truth Pill. Those cunning people are definitely hiding evidence against someone else! Once we find the evidence, we can follow the clues and bring them all down in one fell swoop!"
"Of course I know this is the fastest, I just don't want to rely on the system for everything, I still want to rely on myself as much as possible. Don't worry, let Gu Bei try it tomorrow first, and if Gu Bei can't do it, then we'll do as you said."
Gu Nanxun took Lin Qing's hand, which had been massaging him, off his head and held it in his hand, saying...
"Alright, now that you've made up your mind, don't worry about it anymore. It breaks my heart to see you looking so worried every day!"
Lin Qing reached out and touched Gu Nanxun's furrowed brows, and said with a smile.
Gu Nanxun held Lin Qing's hand and kissed it on his lips. "Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
The next morning, Gu Nanxun contacted Zhao Jinxiang and told him about Lin Qing's suggestion. After listening, Zhao Jinxiang also felt that this was a feasible solution, so they agreed to go to the office with Gu Bei around noon to try to restore the call records.
Upon hearing the task, a glint flashed in Gu Bei's eyes. Although he was a robot, he possessed an innate sensitivity and understanding of electronic devices and communication technologies. He carefully examined the office's telephone equipment and attempted to connect to the school's communication system.
After a series of complex operations, Gu Bei successfully accessed the school's communication system and began searching for deleted call records. Using his programming skills, he gradually recovered some data. While not all of it, it was enough to help them find some clues.
In the recovered call logs, they discovered a frequently appearing number. This number didn't belong to the school; it was a private number outside the school. Gu Nanxun and Zhao Jinxiang immediately investigated this number, and the results surprised them: the person was none other than Chen Jianjun's biggest competitor.
What do you think?
Zhao Jinxiang remained silent for a long time before suddenly asking a question.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxun lowered his head and thought for a while.
"Let's go find my father!"
Zhao Jinxiang nodded. Due to Chen Jianjun's special position, they had originally planned to keep this matter from him. But now that they had investigated that person, they had to let Chen Jianjun know, since no one knew that person better than Chen Jianjun.
"Gu Bei, you go back by yourself. My uncle and I are going to find my father."
Gu Nanxun said to Gu Bei.
Gu Bei nodded.
Next, Gu Nanxun and his uncle drove to the military compound. They didn't go to Chen Jianjun's workplace, but went straight home.
"Nanxun, why are you back? Weren't you in class today?"
Seeing Gu Nanxun walk in from outside, Liu Xiuyun asked in confusion. After speaking, she saw Zhao Jinxiang following behind and greeted him, "Jinxiang is here too! Come in quickly!"
