"Tiantian, what do you think is going on here?" Kali’s puzzled voice was still coming through the phone.
Ji Weitian couldn’t take in a single word anymore.
The sentence Kali had just uttered echoed incessantly in her ears, "Are you really sure that Qian Min is the only mole in your lab?"
By the ti she snapped back to reality, she hung up the call with Kali without explanation, exited the call screen on her phone, and opened the link to the new press conference Kali ntioned.
An hour ago, Re Group had just announced their latest research data.
It was the second upgrade since the last data release.
Normally, Ji Weitian wouldn’t have such a strong reaction.
But today, Qian Min had just been taken away for investigation, and to serve as a warning to others and to alert Re Group not to attempt such despicable acts of unfair competition anymore, Qin Technology Group didn’t handle the news of Qian Min’s arrest quietly but let the dia report it.
Logically, Re Group, seeing their briber getting caught, should be acting guilty, laying low like a tortoise trying to clear their na.
Instead, they chose this mont to release new data, an upgrade from the previous one...
This behavior hardly seed like soone whose wild ambitions had been thwarted and whose plans were frustrated.
Suddenly, Ji Weitian had an ominous premonition.
After hanging up on Kali, she turned and headed to the lab.
She wanted to urgently check with Liu Pan whether their new experintal data had any similarities with what Re Group had just announced.
When she reached the entrance of the lab, she found it was in complete disarray.
The news of Re Group’s new data had reached the lab.
And at that mont, everyone in the lab was checking their own data, with a very grave expression on each face—
"It matches over here."
"My experintal results here match, too."
"Qian Min has been away from the lab for so ti now; she’s not been involved in the recent progress of the experints, nor has she been to the lab—she couldn’t possibly know."
"What do you an by that? Are you suspecting there’s a second mole in our lab?"
"I definitely trust every mber of our team. I’m just speaking about the situation as it is, and everyone shouldn’t be overly sensitive."
"..."
Ji Weitian stood at the doorway, still clinging to a sliver of hope in her heart, thinking perhaps she was too sensitive. Even if Re Group had announced new data, it didn’t necessarily match their lab’s latest achievents.
If they were different, it would be a fair competition based on their own abilities.
But now...
If there was anything left for Ji Weitian to be happy about, it was probably that she hadn’t seen the scene of mutual suspicion in the lab.
Although everyone was shocked, they still chose to trust their own team at the first instance.
In teamwork-based experints, the slightest distrust can have a trendous impact.
"Teacher Ji, why are you over here?" Lei Yunjia, with sharp eyes, spotted Ji Weitian at the doorway and quickly approached to ask.
"Did you hear about the leak in the lab data, too? The team leader has already reported it to President Qin, but there’s no response from his side yet..."
Before Lei Yunjia could finish, the distinguished figure of Qin Nanyu had already appeared behind Ji Weitian!
