The ti ticked away mont by mont, and just as Liang Xinchu was about to lose his patience, he noticed two people erging from the office building.
In an instant, his spirit was revived.
With his eyes wide open, he saw that one of them was Cheng Yan.
As for the other person, they walked in the shadows the entire ti, making it impossible to see any features at all.
After the shadow vanished, Cheng Yan opened his car alone and sped away.
Seeing how hurried the other person appeared, Liang Xinchu felt a tremor of anxiety in his heart.
Could it be that the deciphering was successful?
If Cheng Yan just cracked the computer, then everything would be easier to manage.
But if the safe was opened and the core samples inside were stolen, that would be very troubleso.
After all, as long as that stuff is in Ma Anna's hands, it can still be handled, but if Cheng Yan takes it away, it might never be retrieved.
With this thought, a bold decision suddenly popped into Liang Xinchu's mind.
He imdiately started the car and chased after Cheng Yan's direction.
Before long, Cheng Yan's car stopped at an intersection.
Seeing the other waiting at the red light, Liang Xinchu didn't hesitate at all, flooring the accelerator.
Cheng Yan quickly realized he might get hit and was just about to step on the accelerator to dodge when he was overturned by a strong impact.
The airbag deployed, and he imdiately passed out.
Liang Xinchu's head slamd against the steering wheel, bleeding non-stop.
But he couldn't care about that, he gritted his teeth, opened the car door, and ca to the side of the front car.
He saw a box under the passenger seat.
Opened it and found two small glass bottles inside, filled with powdery substances.
Liang Xinchu imdiately put the items back in the box and, after returning to his car, drove towards the task force's office location.
However, before long, he began to feel dizzy and lightheaded.
He could only stop the car and call Zheng Junjie.
"Director Zheng, I got the core samples, they're at... right at..."
Before Liang Xinchu could finish his words, he passed out.
Zheng Junjie sensed sothing was wrong and imdiately had the technicians track the phone signal.
After locating Liang Xinchu, he quickly sent people to rescue him.
Not long after, Liang Xinchu was sent to the hospital, and the core samples were sent back to the task force's office location.
Zheng Junjie appeared extrely excited upon seeing this, first calling Chen Bin, then Thermodynamics Institute.
In less than half an hour, Chen Bin and Xie Kun arrived one after another.
With just one glance, Xie Kun could confirm that the stuff in the small glass bottles was indeed the other half of the stolen core samples.
Weighing it, it was indeed 2.5 grams, not a bit less.
Chen Bin was also very pleased, now there was no need to intercept tomorrow.
As for how Liang Xinchu got the core samples back, no one knew.
Calling the hospital, they learned Liang Xinchu was undergoing a blood transfusion and might regain consciousness by noon.
Since the matter was resolved, Chen Bin didn't plan to linger.
Returning to Ma Anna's house, fortunately, Ma Anna and Xiao Yaxin hadn't gotten up yet.
After breakfast, he headed to the company as usual.
Ma Anna quickly learned about the core samples being stolen; she imdiately went to the security departnt, had them retrieve last night's surveillance footage, and found everything normal.
Ma Anna knew the surveillance system had surely been tampered with.
Otherwise, her private office wouldn't be so easily entered.
Slumping into a chair, she felt extrely upset.
Just when she was about to complete her mission and return to Beautiful Country, this incident occurred unexpectedly.
A sense of everything falling apart surged inside her, making Ma Anna very uncomfortable.
And what's most infuriating is that the internet in the private office was cut off.
To report this matter promptly, she decided to personally find Firefox.
However, while driving, Ma Anna suddenly realized Cheng Yan hadn't shown up for work.
She called him and found his phone was off.
Frowning slightly, Ma Anna parked her car at a mall and imdiately headed to the restroom.
Sun Xiaojing, attempting to avoid revealing her identity, chose not to follow her in, instead waiting quietly outside.
Yet, half an hour passed, and Ma Anna still hadn't erged, puzzling Sun Xiaojing.
She imdiately entered the restroom, searched everywhere, but found no trace of anyone.
As she exited the restroom in bewildernt, she noticed Ma Anna had already driven away.
The sha of losing track of soone overwheld her, leaving a constricting feeling in her heart.
But Sun Xiaojing couldn't figure out how Ma Anna managed to leave the restroom.
Moreover, what did she do during that half-hour?
Upon learning the core samples were lost, Firefox beca extrely furious.
Determining that there was an insider in the company, he ordered Ma Anna to quickly find and expose them.
If the core samples couldn't be recovered, they would have to initiate the ultimate plan.
Ma Anna sat at her desk, listing everyone who could access the lab on paper.
After investigation, she found Cheng Yan was the most suspicious person.
Cheng Yan joined the group the latest, and after the core samples were stolen, he hadn't co to work.
The coincidence was too suspicious to overlook.
Furthermore, Ma Anna suspected Cheng Yan's motivation for stealing the core samples was to steal her credit.
The more she thought about it, the more it made no sense, so Ma Anna quickly had a background investigation conducted on Cheng Yan.
Ultimately, she discovered that he had been in a car accident.
And the ti of the car accident was around 2 AM.
With this, the suspicion surrounding Cheng Yan grew even larger.
However, at that mont, Cheng Yan, lying on a hospital bed, felt his fists clenching tightly, filled with anger almost to madness.
As an experienced agent, he was sure the early morning car accident wasn't an accident.
Upon learning the core samples were lost, he imdiately contacted his assistant Caitlin, asking her to find a way to retrieve surveillance footage of the accident scene.
Unfortunately, after Caitlin went to the traffic police departnt, she discovered that the caras at the intersection were all broken at that ti.
This further confird to her that the accident was no mistake.
Near noon, Ma Anna visited the hospital to console Cheng Yan.
"How's your injury? Is it severe?"
He replied, looking frustrated, "Luckily, I'm tough and had the protection of the airbag, otherwise, you might never see again."
"By the way, what were you doing out driving so late?"
At once, Cheng Yan beca alert.
He understood that Ma Anna's visit was feigned concern; her primary intent was probing.
So he answered, "I was dropping a friend to the station, and I didn't expect to get hit on my way back ho, quite unlucky."
"Did you find whoever hit you?"
"Not yet, but since it was a hit-and-run, they definitely won't escape."
"Alright then, focus on recovery and don't worry about the company's affairs."
Though Cheng Yan's gestures and deanor during their conversation showed no abnormality, Ma Anna still suspected him.
Should any flaw be found, she would definitely take action against Cheng Yan...
