Chapter 892: Chapter 892: The Insider

Actually, Xu Fan could hack into the surveillance system directly because he was the one who created it.

However, to show respect to Yang Yu, Xu Fan still asked Yang Yu for the password to access the surveillance.

Xu Fan quickly reviewed the surveillance footage from midnight that night and saw a suspicious figure.

But the person had their face covered with a black hood, so it was impossible to see their appearance, only knowing it was a woman.

There were some private areas in the laboratory without surveillance; after she left Shi Yiyang’s office, it was unknown which corner she hid in.

And at the front entrance, no one was found to have left the research institute during that time.

"How could this be?" Xu Fan frowned, "There’s no way I made a mistake!"

Shi Yiyang was also worried; if the insider wasn’t found soon, all her future research results would no longer remain confidential.

After a while, Shi Yiyang thought of a possibility: "Mr. Xu, could it be that person didn’t sign out that day and hid away. Then the next morning, didn’t sign in and went straight to work in the laboratory?"

"Then check the sign-out that day and the sign-in the next day!" Xu Fan immediately went to check in that direction and indeed found that one person didn’t sign out that day and didn’t sign in the next day.

That person was Shi Yiyang’s assistant, and her graduate student at university, Chu Xiaodan!

"How could it be Xiaodan?" Shi Yiyang was stunned, "I trusted her so much, brought her along for all the research, why would she do this?"

Xu Fan took a deep breath and, following Yang Yu’s instructions, directly called Shen Silin: "Mrs. Yang, it’s like this..."

When Yang Yu wasn’t around, Shen Silin would make all the decisions.

After listening to Xu Fan’s report, Shen Silin said, "Have Professor Shi and Chu Xiaodan wait in the laboratory, I’ll be there right away."

An hour later, Shen Silin arrived at the laboratory, accompanied by Phoenix and Shen Yan.

Phoenix and Shen Yan’s abilities had greatly improved; as long as someone wasn’t an expert like Eliza, the two of them together could easily handle it.

Shen Silin sized up Chu Xiaodan, the girl exuded an academic air, wearing black-rimmed glasses, clearly a researcher.

But at the moment, Chu Xiaodan seemed somewhat uneasy, repeatedly pushing up her black-rimmed glasses even though they hadn’t slipped down.

Shen Silin calmly asked, "Miss Chu, can you explain why you didn’t sign out on the fifth, and why you didn’t sign in on the sixth?"

"My home is far from here, so sometimes for convenience, I just stayed at the research institute and didn’t go back. There were many matters on that day, so I stayed," Chu Xiaodan appeared calm, but her slightly trembling hand betrayed her nervous heart, "Mrs. Yang, you wouldn’t suspect I did something wrong because of this, would you?"

Shen Silin repeated the question: "Think carefully, are you sure you didn’t go back on the fifth?"

Chu Xiaodan nodded: "I’m sure."

"You researchers should be quite sensitive to dates," Shen Silin looked at Chu Xiaodan playfully, "In fact, you went back on the fifth, you didn’t go back on the sixth. You were so nervous that you didn’t even pause to think about the date I mentioned before you admitted it, which shows you were repeatedly trying to say the lie you wanted to tell me, isn’t that right?"

"I, I... It’s normal for me to get the date wrong!" Chu Xiaodan continued to defend herself, "Mrs. Yang, you can’t just pin the blame on me because of suspicion, can you? Besides, even if I’m guilty, it should be handled by the police!"

"You’re right." Shen Silin said, "We’ve already called the police. Someone stole Professor Shi’s research results from the institute, and once found, it’s a minimum sentence of five years."

Just after Shen Silin finished speaking, Yu Li entered with a group of Flying Dragon Team members.

Facing the group of stern-faced officers, Chu Xiaodan’s legs trembled uncontrollably: "I, I really didn’t do anything..."

"There’s a large transfer of two million into your account." Yu Li said, "The transferring account belongs to a foreign registered company; we can’t trace the source of the funds from our side. So, can you explain where this money came from?"

"I..." Chu Xiaodan thought for a moment and quickly said, "My uncle sent it to me from abroad, is there a problem?"

Chu Xiaodan indeed had an uncle abroad, but he was working illegally overseas, and it was impossible for him to send money back.

"Why didn’t your uncle send the money to your mom or dad, but sent it to you?" Yu Li looked at Chu Xiaodan sharply, "When a person’s lie is exposed, they use another lie to cover it up."

"Miss Chu Xiaodan, stop struggling. The reason we’re questioning you here is out of respect for Professor Shi. If we were to take you out of here and let everyone see Professor Shi’s student being arrested by us, your reputation would be finished."

Chu Xiaodan hung her head, her hands constantly rubbing the corners of her clothes vigorously, finally saying after a while, "Someone gave me the money and asked me to share Professor Shi’s research results with them; if I agreed, the money would be mine. If I didn’t agree, I’d return the money to them."

"Over the years, studying has cost my family a lot of money, and I’m still in grad school, while my older brother hasn’t married yet. If I don’t earn some money, I feel I can’t repay my family."

"So, I transferred one million to my parents and used the remaining money to buy clothes and cosmetics for myself. I’m a girl too, and we were poor before, always being laughed at by dorm mates for being unfashionable with no sense of style. I wanted to dress up beautifully too..."

As she spoke, Chu Xiaodan began to cry: "I’ve read the research report; it contains no substantive content, merely talking about a component of a type of Chinese herbal medicine. Even if it were published in The Lancet, I doubt anyone would pay it much attention. Is that research report really that important?"

"Stop pretending to be innocent." Shen Silin said slowly, "Do you think people are fools who would spend two million on a research report that no one would pay much attention to? If it’s truly worthless, why would someone give you two million?"

Pressed by Shen Silin’s question, Chu Xiaodan was speechless: "I, I..."

"No need to explain, you know it very well in your heart, it’s nothing but the lure of money." Shen Silin said, "Professor Shi, Yang Yu told me that you should handle this entirely. Whether you let it go, or have your student go to jail, is up to you."
