Chapter 168 Loyalty Test
Su Wanqing glanced at her watch. The room was quiet, with only the breathing sounds of the storage devices.

She disassembled and encrypted the recording, then casually flipped through a new set of data.

Soon, she packed a specially marked fake research data into a transparent bag, covered it with a new document label, and casually placed it in the most conspicuous corner of Lu Zhao's work area.

She didn't make a sound, but simply raised her hand to open the main control backend and turned on all the monitoring, access control chips and read/write records in the experimental area.

Lu Zhao was checking the report when he noticed an extra document on the table. "Wanqing, what's this?"

Su Wanqing pretended to be casual and said, "It's just some virus comparison data that I captured. I'm too busy to handle it right now, so you can take a look first. I'll adjust it later."

Lu Zhao nodded and pushed the documents aside. He did what he always did, turning the pages of his document without showing any sign of anything amiss.

Su Wanqing assigned Lin Che a new task, "Lin Che, you'll be on duty tonight, so keep a close eye on things, especially the access control system and who touched this document. Make sure you remember everything in detail."

Lin Che tossed his coat aside and softly agreed, "I'll keep an eye on it. I'll write down every action. Don't worry."

He sat down at the main control console, took out his notebook, and pressed down the times of personnel coming and going, access control card swipes, and equipment operation.

He tapped the button with his fingertips, switching between all the recordings, and threw any unnecessary actions into the log.

At this moment, Lin Che's nocturnal personality subtly gained the upper hand, using tricky angles to closely monitor almost everyone's movements.

At night, Xiao Ran prepared to reinforce security. He walked around the corridor from the storage room to the main laboratory, picking out several anomalies one by one and checking them. He also asked Su Wanqing at the communications station if she needed to change shifts.

Su Wanqing shook her head, "You just need to do your patrol. Today's focus is still on the entry and exit routes and data interaction."

"Okay." Before leaving, Xiao Ran turned up the alarm level and casually patted the communicator on his waist as he went out.

Time ticked by. Lu Zhao repeatedly got up and walked back and forth between the work area and the medical cubicle where the girl was, recording data. Occasionally, he would walk over to the fake data to check it, but he didn't take it with him.

He even left behind a glove, then dabbed it in his palm and took it with him when he returned.

After most of the day had passed, Su Wanqing reviewed the surveillance footage and found that Lu Zhao and Lin Che had only touched the desktop themselves.

When it was time for the night shift, Lin Che and Lu Zhao each had their own things to do, so they carefully tidied up the documents in a corner and no one took them with them.

Late at night, Dr. Zheng came over with his medical kit and said to Su Wanqing, "The girl's temperature is fluctuating again now, let me check it."

Su Wanqing nodded and stepped aside to let him into the medical area. Lin Che pretended to tidy up the medicine cabinet, but his eyes never left Dr. Zheng.

Dr. Zheng was wearing a disposable protective suit and gloves, and her movements were very proper.

He stood quietly by the girl's bedside for five minutes, took her temperature, checked her blood pressure, and then took out his own scanner and connected it to the machine with a data cable.

The scanner's tail pin was inserted into the opening of that special data file.

Lin Che lowered his eyes, picked up his notebook, and wrote down: 01:29, Dr. Zheng, DNA scanner connected to external storage port, paused for 48 seconds, new code stream appeared on the experimental terminal screen.

Lin Che switched to the main recording and made an extra backup of that footage.

Dr. Zheng packed up the equipment, changed the girl's IV fluids, and muttered to himself, "Her temperature may fluctuate again in the latter half of the night, so be prepared to handle it at any time."

He made little noise, packed up quickly, threw his gloves into the medical waste bin after leaving the experimental area, and carried his medicine box on his back, now with an additional small black box.

As dawn approached, Su Wanqing accessed the access control and surveillance footage from the previous night and met with Lin Che and Xiao Ran.

“This was the fake data last night,” Su Wanqing located the surveillance footage. “Only Dr. Zheng scanned and copied it with the equipment while examining the girl. He also took it out of the external storage device.”

Lin Che tossed his log over, "Ye asked me to relay this: he discovered that Dr. Zheng repeatedly checked the local area network, and the copying times matched the surveillance footage. The times he came in and went out were all synchronized."

Xiao Ran didn't say much, but clenched his fist slightly. "Want to make a move?"

Su Wanqing scanned all the data and nodded. "Now, have him 're-examine' the girl's data."

Xiao Ran didn't waste any time. He methodically approached the laboratory corridor, blocking Dr. Zheng's way back, "Zheng, there's a test result you'd like to take another look at."

Dr. Zheng was taken aback. "What test? I just checked last night—" "That one." Xiao Ran lowered his head, grabbed Dr. Zheng's arm with his right hand, and quickly pulled out an unregistered small communicator and a memory card the size of a fingernail from his white coat.

The communicator casing was of military standard, but the memory card had a unique rebel code on it.

Dr. Zheng let out a short resistance, but Xiao Ran immediately pressed her down and quickly pinned her to the side of the bed for fixation.

He tried to struggle, but was firmly subdued and dared not move again.

Su Wanqing stood at the door, holding a data tablet. She put the communicator and memory card into a sealed bag and then stuffed it into the file box.

When Lu Zhao arrived at the scene, he immediately saw the detained Dr. Zheng and asked, "Is he a spy? What did he confess to?"

"Check it yourself, everything has been collected," Xiao Ran said.

Lu Zhao disassembled the communicator and found two layers of special chips inside.

One end connects to the military's frequency band, while the other end can directly send requests for rebel keys.

He gritted his teeth. "The equipment can be used on both sides. This guy can not only monitor us, but also send intelligence very easily."

Dr. Zheng's lips parted slightly as he hummed softly, "I'm just following orders. Who among you dares to say they're absolutely clean? If you really want to investigate, then investigate to the end."

Lin Che sneered, standing by the door and looking at Dr. Zheng, "How long have you been infiltrating? Do you have all the team's information in your hands?"

Dr. Zheng pressed his forehead and said only one sentence: "I've been here for four days, and someone has been watching your every move."

Xiao Ran suddenly reached out and pressed down on Dr. Zheng's shoulder, disassembling the communicator into even more fragments.

"All the previous blood sample photos and parameters are stored on this encrypted card. It was even connected to an external communication line yesterday."

Su Wanqing didn't answer, and directly put the equipment into the incinerator.

She told Lin Che, "Seale all the cubicles, increase patrols in the internal passages, and record everything in a moment."

Outside, only the low hum of instruments could be heard, as the shifts of the new day changed quickly.

Inside the monitoring area, Ye was still secretly intercepting monitoring data to ensure that no one could access the outer information network.

That afternoon, the girl with the childlike voice suddenly recovered from her high fever. She opened her eyes, glanced at Su Wanqing, and said in a weak but clear voice, "Teacher, I had a dream."

Su Wanqing walked to the bedside and handed her a water glass. "What did you dream about?"

The girl picked at her fingers. "I saw an uncle in white clothes who said he was going to take my star away. He was in a hurry, afraid that someone would find out. Then the room suddenly went dark, but my star came back."

Su Wanqing gently pressed down on the back of her hand and asked softly, "Did he take anything?"

The girl shook her head. "No. When he came in, I felt a chill in my heart. But after he left, I felt warm again."

Lu Zhao stood in front of the data sheet for a while, opened the set of nighttime vital signs records, and wrote a line: "The content of special elements in the body has naturally recovered to the safe limit since the early morning, and the element cycle coincides with the fluctuation of the previous night."

After a moment's thought, he added, "The girl appears to be self-regulating, recovering on her own after being stimulated by a specific stimulus."

Lin Che flipped through the girl's temperature chart, comparing the data hourly. "The time last night when the temperature fluctuated the most was precisely when Dr. Zheng went into the cubicle."

After examining the child's wounds, Su Wanqing said calmly, "So, 'Xingxing' is being watched, but can't be stolen."

The girl clutched the corner of the bed, a little shyly, "The stars have always been on me. I dreamt that someone was trying to take them away, but I covered them up."

After tidying up the weapons, Xiao Ran glanced at the gloomy sky and categorized all the records into the sealed area.

He took one last look at the detained Dr. Zheng, and silently reinforced the blast door with another layer of protection.

No one in the room discussed loyalty anymore. Su Wanqing tidied up the files, locked all communication ports, leaving only the most basic link for Lu Zhao to debug.
