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

Chapter 260, Episode 0274: Danger Hidden in the Sunlight

The unnatural deaths of Wang Xiaoni and Wei Congyang gave Captain Wang a major turning point in his predetermined future.

The deaths of Wang Xiaoni and Wei Zhongyang cannot be faked. First, they committed suicide in front of everyone. Second, Leng Zhi reported the incident, and their autopsies were performed by a top-notch forensic doctor from Beijing.

After the incident was reported, it received attention from higher authorities. Zhao Jiao's mental control ability was truly terrifying, and he was far too dangerous. After discussion, most of the higher-ups felt that Captain Wang had not done anything wrong; on the contrary, he had done a good job.

Xu Shan guessed that the merits and demerits should have canceled each other out. As for how Leng Zhi and the police cooperated, Xu Shan didn't know. He only knew that Captain Wang had already gone back to work, so there was naturally no praise, neither openly nor secretly.

After explaining how terrifying Zhao Jiao was, Xu Shan continued to say the real reason why he had his eye on Lin Yuexi.

"After Chief Leng ordered a reinvestigation of the research institute, two more spies were indeed discovered. One was a junior assistant in charge of miscellaneous tasks, who had no opportunity to know about the chief's affairs. The other was an assistant to Engineer Wang, who had been lurking for more than ten years."

The man's surname was Liu. He was very generous and enthusiastic. He was one of the few people in the research institute who was well-liked. Everyone affectionately called him Little Liu or Old Liu. Few people would call him by his cold and aloof title, Assistant Liu.

He was M's spy, and for more than a decade he never leaked any information to the outside world, keeping himself very well hidden.

After M learned that we had developed the YX-sniper rifle and YX-handgun, they suspected that we were going to release the YX series, possibly including a large one.

M wanted to get one back, but we treasure all our YX series guns; they can't get them.

However, the origin of the YX series was leaked, though we didn't really try to hide it.

Back then, both Jiuquan and the Northwest Corps used the YX-sniper rifle demonstration to clear out a batch of 500,000.

After M learned that the YX series originated from the Northwest Corps, they activated Xiao Liu, who was infiltrating the Northwest Corps' research institute, to find out who might be the developers of the YX series.

Wang Gong was not involved in Lin Yuexi's research project, and Xiao Liu, the assistant, had no contact with Lin Yuexi. People who do research know best what confidentiality means, and once they leave the research room, they no longer talk about topics related to the research project, so Xiao Liu has not made any progress.

But M was pressing him hard, not only offering more and more benefits, but also escalating the threats to his life. Left with no other option, Xiao Liu could only make wild guesses.

But people are different. There's a huge difference between the random guesses of a professional spy and the random guesses of someone like me who's not smart enough.

After some reasoning and eliminating all the improbables, the suspects identified in the final count placed Lin Yuexi second, while the first was none other than Old Niu, the most outstanding timber weapon research expert in the Northwest Corps Research Institute who had won a world-class award.

If she weren't so young, she could have challenged for the championship on the list.

M's approach has always been the same: better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. The special forces captured two groups of enemy agents. One group's mission was to capture the top three people on the list given by Xiao Liu, while the other group was to kill them.

Interrogation revealed that the first group acted ahead of time to make arrests, and if they failed, they would retreat immediately, and the second group would come and kill them.

In addition to these two groups, three foreign snipers were also captured, one of whom was caught in the jungle behind the mountain where Leng Zhi lived.

Arrogant, absolutely arrogant.

This also shows how ruthless M's suppression of us in the field of technology is. They even try to wipe out suspicious developers of the XY series, who are not considered a threat to M.

This further reveals M's attitude: he doesn't want any possibility of our technological capabilities improving in the slightest.

It's not about preventing you from developing, but about doing everything possible to stop you from developing.

M's plans to capture and assassinate people didn't just start recently. Xiao Liu had already sent out the information that Lin Yuexi was suspected to be the developer of the YX series when Lin Yuexi was setting up the power plant. At that time, M's people had already formulated a plan to deal with her.

However, Lin Yuexi's whereabouts were too secretive. It was rare for her to go to the market, and the surrounding protection was as solid as an impenetrable wall, leaving them with no angle to attack. Therefore, they launched the second plan—Zhao Jiao.

Zhao Jiao didn't actually turn his attention to the soldiers of the corps just to challenge himself. Well, maybe he really was a pervert, but this time he turned his attention to Lin Yuexi not entirely just to challenge himself, but because he accepted a mission from Bingkun.

Bingkun obtained his mission from Director He. As for Director He's superior, Director He committed suicide before being arrested, and the trail ended with him.

Bingkun didn't know much. He was like the Eastern Depot in ancient times. He did many of Director He's shady things. You would think that someone like him would know a lot about Director He, but the opposite was true. He did whatever Director He told him to do without ever asking why.

It was precisely because of this that he gained Director He's trust and became the Chief Supervisor of the Eastern Depot.

"So, in the end, they didn't find anything at all?"

Xu Ce's expression was also not good, but he could only nod helplessly: "Yes, all the clues have gone cold."

Lin Yuexi didn't seem to care much, waving her hand dismissively. "From the day I walked into the research institute, I knew what my future life would be like, and I knew what I would face. What you just said are just minor issues, and I'll be dealing with them all in the future."

This is only because her identity is uncertain; if it were confirmed, she would inevitably be assassinated every few days.

Xu Shan did not answer. He understood what Lin Yuexi was saying better than anyone else, and he understood even more the significance of the people who were guarding Lin Yuexi.

Besides protecting Lin Yuexi's safety, we'll risk our lives for hers if necessary!
When she got home, surprisingly no one was home; her mother had disappeared somewhere.

After Lin Yuexi went back to her room and washed up in her spatial storage, she saw that it was almost 5 p.m. and turned to go to the kitchen.

When Leng Zhi returned from get off work, he almost thought he had gone to the wrong place after entering the house.

"Honey, what did you cook today that smells so good?"

When I got to the dining table, I was delighted. Good heavens, my wife finally cared about me. Knowing I love seafood, she steamed this huge yellow croaker. It smelled delicious!

There's also this huge bowl of braised pork, kelp and pig's trotter soup, cold jellyfish salad, and stir-fried shredded pork with greens.

"Wife, is it New Year's Day today?"

We haven't eaten this well even during the Lunar New Year. Is today some kind of special day?

He needs to think about it.

Wedding anniversary?
No, they got married at the end of the year, and their anniversary is still several months away.

Was that a special day?
Oh dear, what should he do if his wife tests him later?
"Dad, you're off work! Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Lin Yuexi walked out of the kitchen carrying a large basket of white steamed buns.

Leng Zhi glanced into the kitchen with a slightly guilty conscience, and after finding no one there, he finally realized that his daughter had made dinner tonight.

My heart suddenly felt a sense of relief.

He took the steamed bun and glared at Lin Yuexi with dissatisfaction: "Your hands aren't meant for this kind of work. If you get injured, those old guys will skin your dad alive."
