Chapter 174 People in the Game



Ling Yue looked at the man sitting opposite her, dressed neatly in a black suit, with his briefcase casually placed beside him. He was holding a water jar in one hand and drinking water silently with his head down.

She didn't say anything. Just one look at Qian Zilin's face told her that it was not a good thing, at least for her.

Ling Yue couldn't help but close her eyes, and scenes kept appearing in her mind.

The radar satellite was stopped!

Yang Huai, a general of the army, was placed beside him!

Next fiber optic cable plan!

She was welcomed to the Beijing Military Region openly without knowing anything!

Everything seemed to be arranged.

What exactly happened when Qian Zilin went to the Forbidden City, and who was the driving force behind it?

Xiangzhong, Zirun, Mr. Zhu or some other people.

Ling Yue pressed her temples because of the headache.

Suddenly, her eyes fixed.

wrong.

There is no way the fiber optic cable project will be stopped.

All of this was just a rumor based on the radar satellite being shut down. So far, as the person in charge, she has not received any news from the Forbidden City.

But that's not right. The rumors have already reached her ears, and Xiangzhong can't be unaware of it.

She can doubt everyone, but she will not have any doubts about the people around her.

Ling Yue's face began to become distorted and pale, and her lips seemed to be covered with a layer of white frost.

Yes, Xiangzhong knew it, but he didn't give any explanation. There were only two possibilities.

First, they had originally planned to do so.

This possibility is almost impossible. Xiangzhong is one of the only four people who knows the importance of this project. Anyone can call a halt, but Xiangzhong will never do that.

Then there is only the second possibility.

They are laying out the plan.

Thinking of this, everything seems to be explainable.

This bureau is based on all medium and large scientific research projects across the country. It stops some of them to give some people hope. Once the scientific research team starts transporting materials and evacuating scientific researchers, some people will find it difficult to resist the temptation. They will also take action, or rob documents, or attack scientific researchers, or sneak into the base in the chaos, etc.

There was originally only a bowl of water. Some people who had been suffering from drought for a long time saw the bowl of water continuously falling to the ground and slowly turning into a lake or sea. People who had been suffering from drought for too long would jump in one after another without reason.

Thinking of this, it is self-evident who is the driving force behind this.

Apart from the two mentioned above, Ling Yue didn't think about him at all.

After realizing this, Ling Yue suddenly felt a little sleepy, and her tense nerves relaxed.

She put her hands on her face and rubbed it vigorously twice to manually circulate the blood on her face. When she felt a little more energetic, she raised her head and looked at Qian Zilin holding the water jar and rubbing it continuously, as if he wanted to rub off a layer of the white porcelain.

Ling Yue's eyes curved as she asked with a smile, "Uncle Qian, do you want more water?"

"Cough!" The sudden sound made Qian Zilin, who was worried, choke. Then he calmly put the water jar on the table.

Ling Yue pretended not to see it and silently handed the handkerchief to Qian Zilin.

As for what he heard in the Forbidden City, although Ling Yue was curious, she didn't ask unless Qian Zilin told her. If Qian Zilin had thought it through, he would tell her naturally.

Unfortunately, someone felt guilty and hesitated for a long time without getting to the point.

Ling Yue sighed. Ever since she knew Qian Zilin went to the Forbidden City first, she had a premonition.

There is a reason for everything the higher-ups do, let alone something as big as suspending all major projects.

This kind of thing is usually decided after careful consideration. Even if Qian Zilin was prepared when he went in, it would be impossible for him to maintain his original intention when he came out.

Some people are born to do ideological work.

"You already know everything," Qian Zilin said helplessly, his smile a little forced: "I originally..."

The words got stuck in my throat when they reached my lips.

"It's okay, Uncle Qian, I'm not stupid." Ling Yue half-opened the window, and the cool breeze brought out the dullness in the room.

She stood at the intersection of air circulation, half cool and half hot.

"Uncle Qian, Mr. Zhu has eaten more salt than we have eaten rice. He must have anticipated these things. He asked you to come here just to reassure you with the help of the higher-ups. He didn't expect you to do anything."

Qian Zilin was silent for a moment. He hadn't thought about this at first. He had been thinking about the future of the project all the way. It was not until he came out of the Forbidden City that he was forced to devote half of his brain to thinking about these twists and turns. Only then did he figure it out.

"What about you? When did you find out?"

Ling Yue was slightly stunned. She always said that she was not good at politics, and she was indeed not good at being clever.

"I'm not lying. If I were smarter, I, who's in the middle of this situation, would be able to figure it out with a little thought. Unfortunately, I'm not stupid, but I'm not smart either."

So, when Qian Zilin went directly to the Forbidden City and sat in front of her with a heavy heart, she thought about everything that happened around her one by one, and the things that she couldn't figure out before were finally understood now.

For example, Yang Huai who followed her.

As a general of the army, Yang Huai just followed her away.

If it was just for her safety, then Ling Yue was overestimating herself.

Qian Zilin opened his mouth and murmured Yang Huai's name.

"He probably came to the capital under the pretext of staying with you. We have no way of finding out what he did specifically."

Ling Yue didn't think much about other things. She just did her own thing. Whether it was refusing to stop the project over the phone or writing the "Feasibility Analysis Report" by hand, it was just what she should do as the project leader.

If she really wanted to use these things to achieve her goal, she had never thought about wanting to regret it once the decision was made... Haha, some people would not agree to let Xiangzhong and the others regret it.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you know he's one of us."

"Okay, there's nothing we can do anyway, so just follow us." Qian Zilin abruptly changed the subject: "So, is there anything I can help you with here?"

If it were normal times, Ling Yue would be more than happy to do so, but the current situation...

Ling Yue thought about the next arrangements for a while and shook her head: "Not yet. We have enough manpower. Du Chang and Yue Chang from Tianjin have done in-depth research in this area. It may have been unused for a long time, so they are still groping for it for a while, but they will be able to pick it up in less than two days."

Without thinking any more, he silently opened the window, which soon caused Qian Zilin, who was wearing a suit, to shiver.

He shook himself, and in a few steps he closed the window that Ling Yue had just opened.

"It's November, and there's such a big hole. Aren't you afraid of freezing yourself to death?"

"I'm not that pretentious." Having said that, Ling Yue didn't open the window again.

Qian Zilin was troubled by her temper.

"The weather is getting colder, especially in Qinghai. When I came here, Mr. Zhu wasn't feeling well. I was thinking of having a doctor check him out in the next couple of days to put my mind at ease."

Thinking of Mr. Zhu’s age, Ling Yue couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

"Don't wait two days. The information has been delivered now, and the resident doctor should be able to move around. Let the resident doctor take a look first."

"Okay, I'll go out and call Qinghai using the military district's phone."

Just leave without any regrets.
