All the researchers were filled with righteous indignation. One of them rushed out and punched Xu Wenhua. Then everyone gave up their intellectual aloofness and rushed over to punch and kick him. In a short while, Xu Wenhua's face was bruised and swollen.
Seeing that the commotion had almost died down, Mr. Tan coughed and said, "Alright, stop it."
"Bah, traitor!"
Professor Zhou spat and then stopped.
The others also stopped.
Just then, Director Liu arrived with his men.
"Tan Lao, Taoist Priest." Director Liu greeted Tan Lao and Taoist Priest Qinghui, then looked at Xu Wenhua and asked, "Is this the spy who betrayed the country?"
Tan Lao nodded: "That's right, Master Jiang just used the Truth Talisman on him, and he has admitted that he betrayed the country. But for the details, you still need to ask."
"Truth Talisman?" Director Liu looked at Taoist Qinghui and said, "Are you guys in the Ninth Division also mass-producing Truth Talismans? Then leave some for me."
Taoist Qinghui looked at Jiang Chunian and said, "My junior uncle invented it. We have just started to apply it, and we are not ready for mass production yet."
"Are you Jiang Chunian? I've heard about you. Over a month ago, during the taping of the variety show "Brothers and Sisters," she used her horoscope to figure out that her daughter and another woman were kidnapped and imprisoned in a cellar by another male resident of the village. Later, she helped the police solve a number of cases. She has a huge following and is very popular among young people."
Director Liu gave Jiang Chunian's information clearly, which shows that he has been paying attention to Jiang Chunian for a long time.
Taoist Qinghui introduced Jiang Chunian: "This is Director Liu from the National Security Bureau."
"Hello, Director Liu." Jiang Chunian extended his hand towards Director Liu.
"Hello, hello." Director Liu smiled. "I've been wanting to meet you for a while, but I heard your Ninth Department has been very busy lately, so I didn't bother you. I didn't expect to meet you here today. You really live up to your reputation."
"Director Liu, you are too kind." Jiang Chunian said with a smile.
Director Liu smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, there's no need to be so modest. By the way, this is the Truth Talisman, right?"
When Director Liu saw his men pick up a piece of talisman paper from the ground, he took it and asked Jiang Chunian, "I wonder if this truth talisman is still useful?"
Jiang Chunian nodded: "It can still be used."
"That's great." Director Liu smiled and said, "But just to be on the safe side, I wonder if Miss Jiang has any more truth talismans? Could you give me two more?"
Taoist Qinghui scolded: "Liu Hongjun, you are too shameless."
"How could I be so shameless?" Director Liu rolled his eyes at him. "I'm doing this to quickly verify Xu Wenhua's crimes and minimize the losses."
Director Liu looked at Jiang Chunian again, revealing a genial smile. "Ms. Jiang must also want to get to the bottom of the matter as quickly as possible and help the country stop the damage, right?"
Jiang Chunian: ...Brother, did you drink tea before you went out?
However, Jiang Chunian also understood that Director Liu was a powerful figure, and there would definitely be no harm in making friends with him.
She took out two and said, "I didn't bring any extra today, so I only have two left."
"That's enough." Director Liu was overjoyed and quickly took it.
Who is Xu Wenhua?
How could such a person have any use for something as precious as the Truth Talisman?
He is a spy they recently captured. He is very stubborn and refuses to reveal a word no matter how hard they try. Now that they have the truth talisman, they are afraid that he will not reveal something.
Jiang Chunian saw this and warned, "Although the Truth Talisman can make people tell the truth, it doesn't work on everyone. For those with very strong willpower and extremely defensive minds, the effect cannot be guaranteed, and it is even possible that it will not work at all."
"Is that so?" Director Liu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly accepted it. "I was wondering, how could such a heaven-defying thing exist in this world? Now it makes sense. Don't worry, I won't blame you even if it doesn't work."
This is not my fault.
Jiang Chunian said, "So if someone is very determined and extremely cautious, you must not let him know that he has been affixed with the Truth Talisman. This might have some unexpected effects."
Director Liu thanked Jiang Chunian again: "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for your reminder. If the case is successfully handled, it will definitely be attributed to Miss Jiang."
Jiang Chunian waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's a merit or not, it's just a piece of cake."
She doesn't even take such small achievements seriously.
Director Liu said goodbye to Mr. Tan and Taoist Qinghui and said, "I will take my men away first. I will return to investigate the case thoroughly and inform you of the results."
Mr. Tan nodded: "Thank you for the trouble."
Director Liu took Xu Wenhua away.
Everyone's eyes naturally fell on Jiang Chunian again.
Professor Zhou asked directly, "Master Jiang, please find out who else is a spy here. Find them all, so that the news won't leak out and harm our project."
I don’t know who was in charge of screening the candidates, but they chose Xu Wenhua as the spy.
Fortunately, today is only the first day and the seminar has not yet officially started. In addition, Jiang Chunian found the person in time, so there was not much loss.
But if the news that their new country is going to cooperate with the underworld gets out, even without detailed information, it will be enough for those people to try every possible way and rack their brains to find out the news and destroy their cooperation with the underworld.
Tan Lao and others also looked at Jiang Chunian.
Jiang Chunian smiled. "Don't look at me. Everyone here is a patriot with a firm stance. If there were anyone like Xu Wenhua with ulterior motives and a shaky stance, I would have told Director Liu long ago and asked him to take them away. I wouldn't have bothered Director Liu making another trip."
"That's good." Mr. Tan took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Xu Wenhua's matter is my fault. I didn't do a good job of personnel review, and such a mistake happened. Fortunately, Master Jiang caught him in time, otherwise I would never be able to escape the blame."
Professor Zhou didn't wait for Jiang Chunian to speak before speaking. "Mr. Tan, how can you be blamed for this? Although you were the one who decided on the roster for our research group, everyone knows that you're less energetic these days. You delegated most of the work to your assistants, and you simply signed off on the final decision. This has nothing to do with you."
Mr. Tan shook his head. "I signed the document last, so I was the one who did the final review. If it wasn't done properly, then that's my responsibility. I can't shirk it."
Seeing that Professor Zhou was about to speak, Mr. Tan waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to make excuses for me anymore."
Mr. Tan looked at Jiang Chunian and said, "Thank you so much today."
Jiang Chunian smiled and said, "No need. This project was originally proposed by me, and Mr. Tan took it on in a hurry. It's normal to make some mistakes in a hurry. Fortunately, it didn't cause a big impact. There's no need to mention this matter again. Let's get back to the topic."
