94: From Technological Warfare to Space Empire

Seeing that Chief Hou agreed in one go, Lin Yu didn't think much of it, assuming that the current contract system was about to be transformed and that he wanted to give him the authority of a shareholding system in advance. This matter still needed to be discussed further.

The snow is falling lightly. This winter's rain and snow are unusually heavy. If it's like this in Beijing, I really don't know how it will be in the south.

As they walked, Lin Yu hesitated and asked Yang Jia what would happen next.

Chief Hou raised an eyebrow. Normally, Lin Yu wouldn't have the authority to know about this matter, but considering the preferential treatment given to talented individuals and the fact that Lin Yu had previously been in contact with a spy and had reported him,

Chief Hou still told Lin Yu about the follow-up plan:

"We won't arrest everyone involved in the entire upstream and downstream supply chain all at once."

"Your counter-espionage plan was brilliant, successfully sending the wrong message to Japan. We certainly can't just break this information chain like that."

"After all, local spies who have already been exposed are a million times more useful than the spies we send out."

After saying this, Chief Hou showed a relieved smile:

"Looking at the photos in my subordinate's report, it seems she tried to seduce you quite a few times? Lin doesn't seem like that beast from the Xu family... It's more like you've remained unmoved!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Haoxiang, who was walking slowly behind him. His eyes were sharp, colder than the cold wind Xu Haoxiang had endured for so long, which startled Xu Haoxiang.

Hearing this, Lin Yu didn't seem to care much:

"Uncle Hou, you jest. I already suspected she was a spy back then, how could I possibly be interested?"

"The thought that everything she did was to steal our secrets and seize our interests makes me feel disgusted."

After speaking, Lin Yu turned to look at Xu Haoxiang behind him, giving him a chance:

"If you knew she was a spy now, would you still succumb to her temptations?"

Faced with Lin Yu's question, Xu Haoxiang shook his head vigorously.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! If I had known she was a spy, I would never have gone near her."

Chief Hou and Lin Yu, both experienced individuals, walked along the road, allowing Xu Haoxiang to make any oaths he wanted behind them.

Their standard for judging issues has changed from whether to believe or not, to whether it is true or not.

Whatever the reason, whether it's genuine affection or fear.

Since Xu Haoxiang has clearly expressed his resistance to this matter, it means that he is not beyond redemption. Even if this statement is made under pressure from Chief Hou's authority, it doesn't matter.

As Lin Yu walked, he looked up at the pure white snowflakes falling from the sky, reached out and caught a few, letting them melt on his hand.

Looking at the crystal-clear water droplets, Lin Yu said:

"Admit it, you simply can't tolerate people with dark and gloomy minds."

Ultimately, all their actions in getting close to you are merely a means to one day exploit you, suck your bones and marrow, and grind their teeth to draw blood.

Today they may fawn over you, but tomorrow they'll pin you to the ground and humiliate and oppress you.

For people like that, it's pointless to even give them a kind word, let alone show them warmth.

Unless we tame them into dogs that only side with us, who lie on the ground every day trying to please us, kneeling down and meekly whining at us.

Only then can I grant her a couple of licks when she desires them.

Lin Yu wore a disdainful smile; he felt disgusted even mentioning such a person.

Beihang University's campus isn't particularly large. As they walked, they were almost at Lin Yu's dormitory building when someone patted him on the shoulder.

"What? What dog? Male or female?"

Song Shu quickly stepped forward and asked with a curious expression:

"We can't let the dog lick anything in this weather. What if it licks an icy railing and its tongue gets frostbite? Ah Yu, what do you want the dog to lick?"

Hearing this, Lin Yu turned around and saw Song Shu's beautiful face. Her face was well-proportioned and gentle, with a delicate nose.

Her lips are a natural pink, her skin is a healthy white, her eyes are bright and round, her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes have a natural charm, her smile reveals shallow dimples, her eyes are lush and beautiful, the more you look at her, the more charming she becomes, gentle and soothing.

"Senior Sister... when did you arrive?"

Lin Yu's face stiffened instantly, and he silently prayed that his senior sister hadn't heard his strange remarks.

He swore he never wanted to mention the dog licking him again, wishing he could take back everything he had just said and sever all ties with Yang Jia from now on.

Song Shu tilted her head, her dark eyes revealing a clear, innocent look:

"I heard it as soon as you started talking about Yang Jia. Uncle Hou even gave me a seat so I could listen closer. Who is Yang Jia, my junior brother?"

Upon hearing Song Shu's answer, Lin Yu looked at Chief Hou with disbelief.

Even the resolute Chief Hou showed a hint of embarrassment; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

He knew that Song Shu was Professor Song's beloved daughter and that she and Lin Yu were childhood sweethearts.

When Song Shu came over, he deliberately made way for her, hoping she would quietly walk over and surprise Lin Yu. But he never expected Lin Yu to say such a thing.

He could understand the deeper meaning in Lin Yu's words, but Xu Haoxiang and Song Shu looked completely bewildered—the two of them had not yet experienced the complex gameplay and were still in a naive state of half-understanding.

Lin Yu didn't react for a moment, his mind was full of thinking about how to explain it to his senior sister, completely ignoring the possibility that his senior sister simply couldn't understand.

In the end, it was Chief Hou who smoothed things over:

"Well... it's like this, Xiaoshu. Yang Jia is a Japanese spy. Lin Yu used a counter-espionage scheme to trick her into giving him a Cray supercomputer, and now they've made enemies."

"That Yang Jia is like a dog that Japan keeps here. Xiao Yu means that if we can squeeze enough benefits out of her, we should let her have a share."

Hearing this, Song Shu nodded as if she understood: "Oh, I see."

Then, Song Shu handed the lunchbox to Lin Yu: "I called Dad on his cell phone, but he wouldn't answer. I went to your dorm and couldn't find you, nor in the basement. I knew something was wrong. I've come here several times today..."

Song Shu gently shook her head, then stepped forward and hugged Lin Yu again:

"I was so scared these past two days, with you and Dad not around."

"Fortunately, the school called the family afterwards to tell them that the professors were having a meeting late into the night and there was no need to worry."

"And when you told me about invasive alien species before, the parts that couldn't be published were handled by Uncle Hou from the secret service. Uncle Hou told me that you and Dad were just doing scientific research, and I felt much more at ease after that."

After saying that, Song Shu reached out and touched Lin Yu's dark circles with a touch of heartache. Her small hands were icy cold, and in this weather, Song Shu hadn't even worn gloves. As her cool fingertips slid across Lin Yu's eyelids, Lin Yu instantly felt the burning sensation in his eyes from staying up all night lessen considerably.

"How long has it been since you last slept? You must have been up for a long time this time. I've never seen you with dark circles under your eyes since we met."

There was no mirror here, so Lin Yu didn't know how dark his dark circles were. But he wasn't someone who was prone to dark circles; he was usually very energetic, so it was rare for him to get them.

He simply took the lunchbox from his senior's hand, held her hand, and breathed on it to try to warm it up.

Seeing Song Shu and Lin Yu confiding in each other downstairs in the dormitory, Minister Hou tactfully called Xu Haoxiang over and headed towards the conference room.

Before leaving, he told Lin Yu not to wander around after waking up, as he had other things to take care of later.

Lin Yu nodded slightly. After he finished resting, he would also need to come up with a plan for reverse interference.
