"Judging from what Sun Shuyi said, the spy surnamed Wu was introduced by Li Dan..." Chen Guizhi clicked her tongue: "This is going to be interesting."
Chen Guizhi's words soon came true. In less than half an hour, security guards from the security department came to Li Dan's house to ask her to cooperate with the investigation. When they saw that Sun Shuyi was also there, they took her away as well.
Meanwhile, inside the security department's office building, Cheng Baidong, fully armed, emerged from an interrogation room covered with welded iron bars and removed his mask.
Miao Lin, the head of the security department, followed closely behind him and said with a look of surprise, "I never imagined that there were such amazing plants in this world! Feeding someone just one leaf can make them tell the truth!"
He yawned, his eyelids drooping with sleepiness: "This kid is really stubborn. I interrogated him all night, and apart from knowing that Wu Tianyou is an alias, I couldn't get a single word out of him! If I had known that the Truth-Telling Herb was so effective, why did I waste that old man's effort last night? I stayed up all night for nothing!"
“No, that’s not it.” Cheng Baidong smiled and said, “If you hadn’t spent all night investigating and still couldn’t figure it out, the leaders wouldn’t have approved the use of the Truth-Telling Grass.”
“That’s true.” Miao Lin sighed. “This thing is so precious, ordinary petty thieves don’t get the treatment they deserve. One beating won’t work, but two beatings will make them confess.”
Cheng Baidong: "Alright, I'll leave the rest of this to you. I have other things to do."
Miao Lin nodded: "I know you're busy. Okay, you can go now."
As Cheng Baidong came out of the security department, Gao Ping, who was waiting outside, immediately followed. They happened to run into Li Dan and Sun Shuyi, who had been asked to return by the guards.
Li Dan remained relatively calm, standing tall with an innocent demeanor, and even greeted Cheng Baidong with a smile.
Sun Shuyi was sobbing, her panic visibly evident. When she saw Cheng Baidong, she rushed towards her like a lifeline, crying, "Director Cheng, please help me! I'm innocent! I was deceived! I really didn't know anything about Wu Tianyou's matter..."
Before she could even touch Cheng Baidong's clothes, Gao Ping, who was quick-witted and agile, pushed her away. The guards also reacted, twisting Sun Shuyi's arms and pressing her shoulders to the ground.
"Behave yourself!"
The guards were fierce and hit hard, causing Sun Shuyi to cry from the pain.
These tears were real, not faked.
"Ouch~ It hurts so much." Her voice trembled with pain, but she blocked Cheng Baidong from leaving: "Director Cheng, please let me explain, Wu Tianyou and I..."
Cheng Baidong interrupted her, saying, "Save these words for Section Chief Miao. He is very fair and will not wrong an innocent person. The truth will be revealed once the investigation is completed, and your innocence will be cleared."
After saying that, he gave the guard a wink: "Take him away, don't delay your section chief's investigation of the truth."
After Cheng Baidong spoke, Li Dan and Sun Shuyi were immediately asked to leave by a combination of persuasion and coercion.
Cheng Baidong walked past the two of them without any expression.
Instead of returning to the research department, he turned and went to the office building where the leaders were located. He then went down the hidden staircase in the factory director's office to the underground.
The true location of the Special Research Department is an underground fortification dozens of meters underground, connecting the entire factory area. The department on the surface is merely a smokescreen to deceive the enemy.
As soon as Cheng Baidong returned, researchers came to him with questions.
The first phase of research on spiritual plants has come to an end. All the data has been carefully recorded and the final work has been completed.
These tasks correspond to the introductory courses for medical cultivation in the cultivation world. Reorganizing them in a modern, data-driven way was not difficult for Cheng Baidong.
When he was reborn, a hair-thin crack appeared in the place of his rebirth. The crack connected to another world and emitted spiritual energy, serving as the passage for his soul to return.
Such tiny cracks are generally negligible because every world has a certain degree of 'self-healing' ability.
But this time is different.
Instead of 'healing on its own,' the crack gradually grew larger over time. More than half a year later, the tiny crack that was originally as thin as a hair has now grown to about 20 centimeters long and 2 centimeters wide.
The once cold, frozen tundra began to melt and sprout greenery under the influence of spiritual energy.
Fortunately, the fissure is located in a deep valley below the cliff, with tall mountain walls acting as a barrier. Currently, only the deep valley is affected, while the rest of the area remains covered in ice and snow.
The bad thing is that the place is not far from the border, and sooner or later those with ulterior motives will discover something amiss.
This is why suspicious individuals have been frequently seen in the surrounding area this year.
It's not just found in pharmaceutical factories; it's found in other places too.
This is a type of wide-net fishing.
Fortunately, the other party had no concrete evidence, only rumors, and Cheng Baidong reacted quickly, nipping an unknown danger in the bud.
