Chapter 90 - 87: Zhao Shiyan’s Schemes
Ye Fan’s words left Zhang Lu and Company Commander Gao shocked and astonished.
The power system had been breached. This meant the security system at the research institute was effectively useless. If there were damage, there would be backup power, and repairs could potentially fix the issue. The real fear was a hacker invasion. There was no doubt that Blood Rose had such power, but it hadn’t shown it yet. Perhaps they were waiting for a crucial moment to act.
After the enemy sabotages the power, an attack at night is inevitable since daytime would expose them as easy targets.
Ye Fan’s words made Zhang Lu and Company Commander Gao ponder deeply, but they were skeptical about the idea of a mole.
All the security forces at the research institute were transferred from the military, so there couldn’t be any issues there. As for Professor Gao’s assistant and Li Ru, Professor Zhao’s assistant, they both had spotless backgrounds and couldn’t be insiders.
"The traitor you’re talking about—is this just speculation? If there is no evidence, you shouldn’t speak carelessly, or you’ll cause unnecessary panic," Zhang Lu advised after some consideration.
"You’ve mentioned before that only Professor Gao can access his lab. Professor Gao’s assistant has an independent lab, and only Professor Gao has contact with confidential results. He’s the only one who knows the core findings. If you were the enemy and wanted to pick a mole from Professor Gao’s side, who would it be?" Ye Fan questioned.
Zhang Lu answered without hesitation, "It would naturally be Assistant Li Ru, since she is almost always by Professor Zhao’s side. It can’t be Zhao Shiyan. The other assistants are usually too busy and don’t have much contact with Professor Zhao. Apart from lab time, Assistant Li is mostly with Professor Zhao. But we’ve already thoroughly checked Li Ru, and there are no issues."
