After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 199, Episode 0206: I can't accept it.
"Yuan Jian was heartless to his first wife, but he treated his second wife incredibly well, even arranging for her non-biological brother to work in logistics."

Huo Han looked displeased; the fact that such a person had appeared in their team was a disgrace to them.

Leng Zhi was also indignant, but fortunately he was still able to control his emotions. "The woman he married later is no ordinary person. Her code name is A Qiao Niang. Her family has been infiltrating for three generations. Her great-grandfather was a traitor who was wholeheartedly devoted to M. Under his guidance, the hearts of several generations have been with M."

Their entire family was deeply involved and formed a very important clue.

That's true. They either work in government departments or in very important factories. For example, some are in machine factories and two are in steel mills.

Their family never had any missions, but they received a constant stream of benefits. M would send them M coins and high-end supplies that ordinary people could never access from time to time.

Unfortunately, neither generation could infiltrate the army until Aqiao's mother was unexpectedly selected by the cultural troupe, which opened up a path for her.

“A Qiao Niang is the main person in charge of this line, and her superior…” Leng Zhi pointed in the direction of the capital, “I only know that she is in Beijing, but she didn’t say who exactly.”

Completely brainwashed, even under hypnosis, he only managed to utter the word "Beijing" before choosing to commit suicide.

“I followed WQ’s trail to the port of Haishi, where those people were preparing to load WQ onto a ship and transport it away.”

Even so, none of the top leaders of the Northwest Corps believed that their stolen WQ had anything to do with Haishi.

However, Leng Zhi didn't mention this; he wouldn't let his own speculations hinder other people's thoughts.

Huo Han remained silent for a while. He knew that his future father-in-law was testing him. If it was just a matter of the relationship between the two military units, then there was a competitive relationship involved, which made it difficult to be frank at times.

However, his situation was rather special. He served in the Northeast Production and Construction Corps, but his direct superior was the Second Elder, so he didn't need to consider those intricate details.

"Chief Leng, do you think this matter is related to Haishi?"

Leng Zhi: "..."

Damn it, I'm the one asking you.

While he disliked her, he also admired her somewhat; no wonder she was being groomed as a key talent.

He stopped trying to scheme and sighed, saying ambiguously, "While the city is indeed bustling, it's far too bustling."

Huo Han fell silent again. Yes, it was precisely because of its prosperity that it was most chaotic inside.

Let's turn our attention back to Lin Yuexi.

Immersed in the ocean of data, everything outside became irrelevant to her; even time seemed to lose its meaning.

Lin Yuexi was either working day and night in her assigned office, calculating and recalculating, or discussing and debating with her team members.

To be honest, people are curious about Lin Yuexi, but almost no one truly admires her at first, because she is too young.

Standing at 1.6 meters tall, she's unrealistically beautiful and only seventeen years old. The fact that she's standing here already gives the impression that she got in through connections. To convince everyone that she has real talent, well, at first glance, no one has that feeling.

Fortunately, nothing like the provocations in the novels happened here.

One reason is that everyone was very focused on their work, and they only glanced at Lin Yuexi out of curiosity. Some didn't even notice her at all and were busy with their own things.

Secondly, Chief Engineer Chen's prestige in the research community is roughly equivalent to that of Confucius, the sage of Confucianism. People will not immediately jump out to do something that "goes against the sage" if the sage himself acknowledges that the person has real skills. At the very least, they will first take a look at what the other party's so-called skills are.

To put it bluntly, everyone was giving Chief Engineer Chen face and giving Lin Yuexi, a young girl whom no one dared to believe in and no one had high hopes for, a chance to prove herself. Science is not Confucianism; it's either good or bad. If someone doesn't have real skills, even if you give them the answer to copy, they won't be able to understand it.

As a result, Lin Yuexi quickly integrated into the group.

Now, her daily routine consists of either brainstorming in the office, spending the whole day "copying" with a few other teachers in any office she chooses, or becoming a junior teacher in a group office.

This girl is not human; she knows everything. While others may know a lot but are not proficient in any one area, she can teach others even if she knows a lot.

It's fair to say it's 'perverted'.

"Old Liu, I remember you have a daughter, right?"

Lin Yuexi was eating in the canteen with four or five old men when suddenly Sun, an engineer from the power group, looked up and asked Liu, an engineer from the same group.

Mr. Liu paused for a moment, then said, "Oh right, he should be in elementary school by now."

Ok?
Mr. Liu is over sixty years old and has a daughter in elementary school?
Not only was Lin Yuexi puzzled, but Zhou Gong, who was sitting next to her, also looked suspicious. "Is that still your child? Elementary school? Even if she's in fifth grade, she's only about ten years old, right? You haven't been back for almost twenty-five years, where did you get a girl who's only ten years old?"

The place where Jiuquan and the others are currently located is highly classified, so their families naturally have no information to enter. Not only are they not allowed to live there, but they don't even know where the place is.

The family members who accompanied Lai Jiuquan were all settled in a separate family area built near the city.

The Northwest is windy and sandy, and water is scarce; the family quarters faced the same problems.

Not only is life inconvenient and difficult, but it's also dangerous in terms of safety. The family quarters are frequently attacked, so many researchers' families are unwilling to stay here.

Mr. Liu's situation was similar. His wife originally came with their two children, but after about six months, she took the two children back home.

Since then, the couple has been separated for twenty-five years, without even a chance to meet or contact each other.

Zhao Gongjian immediately remarked, "Didn't your children already call someone else 'Dad'?"

Engineer Liu: "..."

Lin Yuexi: "..."

The people around who heard this: "..."

Sure enough, even those who are focused on scientific research can't help but have a gossip-loving heart. Immediately, many people perked up their ears, and a few who were already preparing to leave casually found a seat near them to sit down.

Wang, with his back to the crowd, didn't notice anything amiss. But seeing that Liu's expression was off, he assumed he'd upset him and quickly nudged Zhao, warning him:

"The director said it's not certain yet, so we should keep it from Old Liu until we find out."

嗯-
hmm~
Huh?

So it's true! Are Mr. Liu's children really going to recognize someone else as their father?
Liu initially thought Zhao was just joking. He felt a little uncomfortable but not angry. The old men often talked without any boundaries in private. However, he felt that Zhao had gone too far this time, talking nonsense about his family.

For people like them who dedicate their entire lives to their country, besides their country, the most inviolable bottom line is their family.

Now an old friend is telling him that his family has fallen apart?

Mr. Liu found it hard to accept.
