Chapter 113 It really wasn't me!
"The data is missing!" Jiang Huai'an said gravely.
Upon hearing that the documents were missing, Yufei immediately understood what had happened, and her anxiety subsided. To Yufei, the documents were worthless, but Jiang Huai'an and the others didn't know that.
They thought their Junlin Group, and even the core of Longyuan Town, had been robbed—how could they not be worried! They contacted the teachers and officials at Longyuan High School and Longyuan Town as quickly as possible.
The international student dormitory was sealed off, and the class teacher reassured the other students, telling them to stay in the classroom and study peacefully.
Then, the staff who had been responsible for receiving the exchange students the day before were summoned, and once everyone had arrived...
Jiang Huai'an asked, "Are all the exchange students in the international student dormitories?"
"Yes! Everyone's here!" said the person in charge of counting heads.
"Okay! That's fine then! The reason for gathering everyone today is that something was stolen from Longyuan Town yesterday, and the suspects are likely among the exchange students."
"I called you all here today to have you recall anything that seemed strange when you were with those exchange students yesterday." Jiang Huai'an only mentioned that something was stolen, without specifying what it was.
This was also to avoid causing panic among the students. Those documents are considered extremely valuable by everyone in Longyuan Town, and if any students told their parents about the loss, it would cause panic among the people of Longyuan Town.
After careful consideration, he only said that something had been lost without specifying the details. He added that if it could be found, all the better; if not, it wouldn't cause any unrest. He would then report to the higher-ups, and a nationwide secret search would begin.
Upon hearing that something had been stolen from Longyuan by an exchange student, the students quickly recalled what had happened the previous day.
They did indeed find a few suspicious individuals. Among them, Zhao Jing mentioned Zhao Lina's suspicious behavior the day before. After hearing their account, Jiang Huai'an and his men began their operation.
Yufei followed them to Zhao Lina's room. Of course, ordinary guests are not allowed in the student dormitory, but the people Jiang Huai'an brought knew about Yufei's special status and tacitly approved of her actions.
Zhao Lina's dormitory was a standard three-person room, shared with the girls who had come with her. To Yufei's surprise, Yuanzi was also living with Zhao Lina.
When did their relationship become so good? Yufei was puzzled for a moment, because it had just been mentioned that Zhao Lina had acted suspiciously yesterday, and therefore her place had been the focus of the search.
While Jiang Huai'an and his men were conducting the search with a search warrant, Yufei followed them in and casually looked around.
Zhao Lina looked helplessly at the people searching in and out. Yuanzi stood beside her, gently comforting her. A short while later, someone shouted...
"found it!"
He left Zhao Lina's house with a bag, and coldly showed her the arrest warrant, leaving her incredulous.
“Ms. Zhao Lina, please come with me. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence against Chen Tang.”
After saying that, he gestured to his colleague to take him away.
"No! No! No, it wasn't me! I don't even know how this thing got into my room!" Zhao Lina waved her hands repeatedly, her face filled with panic.
Whether it's because she's a good actress or genuinely unaware, she certainly seems innocent.
Anyway, we'll deal with everything after we get her to where she needs to go. That's what Yufei said.
"Wait a moment!"
Zhao Lina looked at Yufei with sparkling eyes, thinking Yufei was going to speak up for her, but Yufei simply made a contact with a staff member.
"I think those two are her roommates, so they might know something. We could ask them to come over and find out what's going on."
Zhao Lina's eyes, which had been full of hope upon hearing Yufei's words, dimmed again.
The search team followed Yufei's advice and invited Zhao Lina's roommate to the room where Jiang Huai'an and the others were.
"Mayor Jiang, the item has been found; it's confirmed to be in Zhao's room."
The person who was speaking to Jiang Huai'an handed him the items, which Jiang Huai'an carefully flipped through. He had read these documents countless times and remembered almost everything inside.
That's right, it's their core technology!
"Zhao Lina, the evidence is all there, what are you still arguing about?" Jiang Huai'an looked sharply at the young woman who still possessed the youthful vigor of her prime.
I can understand her actions, but when our positions differ, everything she does is wrong.
"It wasn't me! It really wasn't me! I've been framed!" Zhao Lina cried, her nose stuffed and ears ringing, snot streaming down her face, repeatedly shouting that she was innocent.
Jiang Huai'an became interested as he watched her.
"Oh?! You say you're innocent? Then tell me, did this thing just wander into your room by itself? And yesterday morning around 11 o'clock, you said you went to the bathroom and left for almost an hour. Where did you go? Tell me!"
Jiang Huai'an suddenly unleashed his full power; Yufei had never seen her gentle uncle so imposing before!
Zhao Lina was clearly intimidated by Jiang Huai'an's imposing manner; her body trembled uncontrollably, and she stammered as she spoke.
"I...I...that day...went to...the toilet," Zhao Lina began, but Jiang Huai'an, as if losing patience, interrupted her.
"If you're not going to tell the truth, then don't say anything at all." He then turned to get up and leave.
Zhao Lina was truly terrified and crawled over, grabbing Jiang Huai'an and saying urgently...
"No! No! Let me finish. I did go to the restroom at first, but then I received a notification from the organization..." Zhao Lina recounted her entire ordeal to Jiang Huai'an.
"That's how it is. I swear I only went to scout the location and placed the jammer that the organization had placed in the restroom downstairs at Junlin Company. The rest is none of my business."
Yufei came to Jiang Huai'an's side and nodded to him.
"Zhao Lina is right. I once had a sudden urge to try getting from the Ancestral Temple to Junlin Group in the fastest way possible, and I tried many different modes of transportation."
In the end, it was found that even the fastest trip would take about 20 minutes, and including round trip and taxi time, it would cost 40 yuan. If she was only going to place the jammer, then she would indeed have enough time.
So it was a bit rushed. When we saw her yesterday, she was out of breath, which explains the time it took. She wasn't lying.
"Yes! Yes! I really didn't steal the data! I didn't even know they made me do it to steal this. I was just a lowly nobody who got paid to do things for others, 555...T^T"
This incident terrified Zhao Lina, and she'll never dare to take on any task just for money again. Now, all she wants to do is go home. T^T
Looking at Zhao Lina's performance, Jiang Huai'an's face darkened as he listened to Yufei's words.
"So, even though the data was recovered, the person who stole it is still at large? Zhao Lina, let me ask you, you said an organization contacted you, do you know what organization it is, and who are the people in it?"
