I thought I was a jerk

The fermentation of the incident was the next morning.

A confidential meeting gathered all the high-level executives of Qianlong base. The erected wall isolated all the noise on the ground, and only a few ventilation openings were left to prevent the air inside from being too dull.

In the middle of the meeting, the man was talking and talking passionately.

The man's surname is Wu, and he is a special leader transferred to assist by the department at the same level. Others also respectfully call him Professor Wu Jie.He has a straightforward personality, and he is eager to do justice, so although he occupies an airborne quota, which should be an embarrassing position, his popularity is not bad, and he has some friendship with the researchers. He visits the progress and sends warmth from time to time.

But this time, the blunt Professor Wu blushed, his eyes were full of anger, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was furious.

In the entire meeting room, only his reprimand could be heard: "Our research results were simultaneously stolen and passed to the laboratory in country y!"

"This shows that spies have emerged among the people who have access to these confidential research progress."

Wu Jie sneered and said, "The enemy appears inside."

Probably because he was always good-tempered, but now he was furious, so that no one said anything in the meeting room, and it was dead silent.

After Professor Wu Jie got angry, he adjusted his glasses and said in a low voice, "Zhu Wenyun."

The young experimenter stood up.Under the watchful eyes of all national treasure-level experts, he inevitably seemed a little nervous, and lowered his head tremblingly.

"The questions I asked you before—" Wu Jie closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear it, and said tiredly and tiredly, "You can report it again."

"Yes."

Zhu Wenyun responded in a low voice, as if sorting out his words, and then closed his eyes and said: "After the report yesterday, I went back to the laboratory to re-calculate some key data, and then improved some experimental procedures and made in-depth refinements. When I was about to leave...the captain found me." Having said that, Zhu Wenyun was slightly silent.

After hesitating for about two or three seconds.He continued:

"Xue Ci."

"It was Xue Ci who found me and said he wanted to learn from my experimental results. The captain usually helps me a lot, and he is so smart and genius...so I gave him the key to my computer."

Zhu Wenyun plucked up the courage to finish all this, but did not wait for other professors to ask questions.So I could only complete it on my own, "Who knew that the data in my computer disappeared the next day. Then Professor Wu found me and told me that the research was leaked..."

The young researcher bit his lip, as if he was under great pressure, he was almost on the verge of collapse after saying this.

"I don't know, I don't know anything else!"

Saying these things seems to be a great mental oppression to him, obviously Zhu Wenyun also knows what consequences his testimony will bring.Wu Jie took a look at Zhu Wenyun who was on the verge of collapse, as if he couldn't bear it, so he asked him to go down and have a good rest.After the only young man with junior qualifications left the stage, Wu Jie began to speak fiercely and sharply.

"Professor Hua." He said, "I remember that Xue Ci was recommended by you, so he directly entered Qianlong Base."

"If there is really a problem with his identity, I hope you will not cover up—"

"of course not."

Under this direct accusation, Ms. Hua responded.

She had a very gentle smile, but her eyes were extremely sharp and cold, like a dormant dragon showing its claws.

"I won't cover him. And the relevant recommenders must pay the corresponding price."

Ms. Hua said in a deep voice.

She has always been such a good character, calm, fair, absolutely selfless.

Even if Xue Ci was brought by her, she would be punished if she was identified as an undercover agent. She would not be lenient because of this, but would handle it more impartially.

"It's just that before that, I think formal procedures should be followed." Ms. Hua said, "I applied to the higher authorities to intervene in the investigation."

...

Obviously yesterday was an important day worthy of relaxation and celebration, but today seems to be swept by clouds and full of gloom.

Sikong Yi was taken to ask a lot of questions - he was born in a good background, and he was a professional who won glory for the country, so he was seldom subjected to such severe and harsh interrogation.But Si Kong Yi didn't feel any extra emotion, instead he answered all the questions cooperatively, and before he was about to leave, he couldn't help asking: "Excuse me... what happened to Xue Ci?"

Those interrogated questions were all related to Xue Ci.

Ask about his usual whereabouts, whereabouts last night, and even his relationships and hobbies.

This gave Si Kong Yi a very bad subtle premonition.

Of course, the person in charge of questioning him couldn't tell him. He just said, you don't need to care about these, it's just a procedure that should be followed.

Si Kongyi thought uneasy again: what procedure?

In fact, within two days of worrying about it, he received the final result.

It was a public interrogation.

Xue Ci stood at the farthest end, in a cage surrounded by thin silver rods.He was wearing a white prison uniform, and there were no shackles on his hands and feet, but his complexion was pale and his black hair was hanging down.He lowered his eyes slightly, looking as fragile as if he was blown down by the wind, and one couldn't help wondering whether the body covered by the prison uniform was a body that had been punished.

It's an interrogation, but it doesn't make any difference if it's a conviction.

The judge calmly announced Xue Ci's criminal evidence:

They found evidence of collaborating with the enemy and treason in Xue Ci's computer, and they stole the research results of the God Slaughter Project and passed it to country Y, and witness Zhu Wenyun also testified that Xue Ci was the only person who had access to his research results.

There are all witnesses and material evidence, and it seems that there is nothing worth refuting.But the judge still gave Xue Ci time to defend himself.

Xue Ci seemed to have completely enclosed himself in a small world.

He didn't make good use of this time. At the final countdown, he raised his head slightly, revealing his pale face, his eyes slightly flushed: "What explanation do you want? I've already said that I'm not a spy, Zhu Wenyun is." , he plagiarized my results, stole my research, and instead slandered me as the thief and traitor—"

The time had come, and the silver cage sealed all the voices of the boy.All he could see was his red eyes, biting his red lips in the cage.

Even if the young man looked too pitiful, in the face of irrefutable evidence, this kind of unsubstantiated statement was more like a confused and meaningless accusation when the nerves were stretched to the extreme.Therefore, the verdict still upheld the original sentence, and Xue Cihui was sent to a military court—and collaborating with the enemy and treason is a death penalty.

Young Master Xue stood in the cage, and soon someone came to take him away.

Si Kongyi raised his head, and saw Xue Ci standing on a high ground looking down, the corners of his eyes were red.

His emotions collapsed.

I don't know where the courage came from, but in the extremely silent courtroom, Sikong Yi rushed out.

"I believe him!" Si Kongyi said, "It is impossible for Xue Ci to steal other people's research results, let alone treason! In contrast, I believe he is telling the truth, and I demand a retrial!"

With his head getting hot, Si Kong Yi even wanted to kneel down.The tone went from being fierce at the beginning to even extending to a little pleading: "There are too many doubts in this, we can't let the real spy go, let's retry..."

Before his knees touched the ground, someone came to help him up. He was the person responsible for maintaining order in the courtroom.Probably because of his status as a researcher, he was very polite to him and didn't do anything serious, but just wanted to take him back.

At this time, there were sounds one after another from the positions on both sides of the courtyard.

"I trust Xue Ci, and I request a retrial." It was the curly-haired researcher who spoke.

"I request a retrial." The quiet researcher in black stood up.

"I ask for a retrial!" Someone adjusted his glasses and stood up with an extremely firm tone.

More people protested. "I believe." "Demand for a retrial!" Opinions were heard even more, almost to the point of agitation. In the end, except for Zhu Wenyun, all the researchers who worked with Xue Ci stood up.

Even the professors were a little stunned.

Professor Mo was stunned for a moment, and taking advantage of the opening of his glasses, he quickly whispered: "I didn't expect Xue Ci's popularity to be quite good."

Ms. Hua paused, glanced somewhere, and saw that he was staring at the group of researchers angrily, and then showed an almost invisible smile.

"Yes."

The judge's decision was not changed because of this accident, he left in a hurry, leaving behind a group of young researchers panting heavily, their eyes a little red.

Zhu Wenyun was in the middle of it, but he just felt embarrassed.

He stood up with a gloomy expression, and yelled at Sikong Yi, who was the most up-and-coming: "What do you mean, do you want to say that I am a spy? You are just fucking jealous of me..."

Before Zhu Wenyun finished cursing, he was startled by Si Kongyi's red eyes when he raised his head to look at him.

The emotion in those eyes was similar to that of a lunatic, Zhu Wenyun finally became a little scared, and retreated muttering, "I'm too lazy to argue with you."

But just two steps away, he saw Si Kong Yi rushing over, showing a ferocious expression like a vicious dog, and punched him on the cheek.

With a heavy sound, his fist hit the flesh.

Zhu Wenyun's eyes were dizzy and his hair was black.

·

There is no such facility as a "cell" in the Qianlong base, so the place where Xue Ci is being held is his room, but it is strictly guarded and cannot be easily entered or exited.

Xue Ci, who is engaged in scientific research, does not seem to have the physical fitness to escape.

But someone could come and see him.

The lights in the room were turned on, and the bright lights shone on every corner of the room, as if to force those filthy ravines back to nowhere to escape.

Xue Ci sat on the bed, with loose black hair and prison uniform, but did not sleep.

——That’s right, after going through all this, no matter how big-hearted a person is, he can’t fall asleep.

The sudden light made Xue Ci slightly close his eyes, the corners of which were still bright red.

Roughly a few seconds later, Xue Ci's eyelashes trembled, he opened his eyes, and when he saw the person coming again, he was slightly taken aback.

"...Wu Jie." Xue Ci said.

The man who spoke harshly to him during the day and had eyes full of pain, now puts on a gentle and smiling face.He sat on the soft chair opposite Xue Ci, put his hands together and said, "I still like to hear you call me Professor Wu."

Xue Ci didn't make any sound.

Wu Jie didn't care too much: "I'm here this time, just to give you one more choice."

"To die, or to live?"

"Survive?" Xue Ci thought about it now, and he sneered, "Which country will you survive to serve? Country y? Country B?"

"I'm from country y." Wu Jie introduced himself gently, "You have no choice."

Xue Ci stood up from the bed.

This height allowed him to lower his eyes to look at Wu Jie who was sitting, his eyes were cold, but fragile like a cub struggling hard.He gritted his teeth and said: "You and Zhu Wenyun are in the same group, you and him slandered me! You killed me, but you want me to go to you? Wu Jie, are you crazy or am I crazy?"

"I didn't intend to harm you, it's just that we have different positions." Wu Jie said, "Xue Ci, look at the people you are loyal to. They are ignorant and stupid. They regard fish eyes as jewels and discard real jewels like shoes. They are the culprits who murdered you. Isn’t it too narrow-minded to use where you were born to decide which country you will work for in your life? You have to know that you deserve a better and more accepting country. You can Free choice. More importantly, you shouldn't die in a military court and bear permanent infamy, should you?"

Wu Jie knew that Xue Ci's spirit was on the verge of collapse now, and this was the best moment to break his spiritual barrier.However, he is not in a hurry to win people's hearts immediately, he has enough time to reform Xue Ci, and now he only needs to make an initial step.

"I can rescue you. You must know that doing so is very risky. If I didn't really admire you, it would be a pity that such a young genius would die—" Wu Jie smiled, "I wouldn't take this risk."

"Do you choose to continue to live honorably and be sought after by others, or die wronged?"

Like the temptation from the poisonous snake in the Garden of Eden, the voice gently guided him in his ear, repeating that sentence again.

"Xue Ci, you have no choice."

Wu Jie didn't speak again, but this time, Xue Ci was silent for more than ten minutes.

Then he spoke, his face was cold, and his tone did not fluctuate, as if he was rejecting others, but with a little secret request, "Can you really rescue me?"

"If I can't, I won't come."

"I need sincerity."

"I thought it was sincerity that I came to see you in person." Wu Jie said with a light smile.

"Not enough." Xue Ci's cold eyes fell on Wu Jie's face.Even in this critical moment, he was still proud like a nobleman, "I need more sincerity—for example, how can you rescue me, what personnel and secrets can you use?"

Wu Jie pondered for a while, and said, "Xue Ci, you don't need to know this."

"It's not necessary?" Xue Ci seemed to be stimulated by this sentence, he frowned slightly, his eyes were a little red, and said with a sneer: "I see that you are not trying to rescue me, but transporting me to Which place kills it so that I can silence it, lest I really attract the attention of the higher-ups and investigate something--then, killing me is much easier than saving me, isn't it?"

Xue Ci took two steps back, his eyes were slightly red, he looked like a cat cub who was stressed, trying to shrink himself to a safe place, anyone who touched him would wave his paw, Wu Wu Inexplicably soft-hearted.

Facing such a beautiful and soft boy who can only rely on him, anyone who sees them will feel soft-hearted.

Or maybe it was because Xue Ci's attitude had softened a bit, and most of his tasks had been completed, so Wu Jie's attitude softened a lot.

He said, "You are right to be worried, but we are definitely not trying to silence you."

In fact, they have done a lot of such things, but Xue Ci is different from others - he is so valuable that he will become an irreplaceable main force in chip research and development.So in order to reassure Xue Ci and win people's hearts, Wu Jie told Xue Ci all his plans.

In fact, what is used is nothing more than the tricks of fake death, but the people who can operate the level in this level of judgment are all famous and big figures, and some people are even higher than Wu Jie. online.

After explaining everything clearly, Xue Ci seemed to believe that Wu Jie really wanted to rescue him.

Young Master Xue stared fixedly at him, then looked away after a while, narrowed his eyes and said, "Thank you."

Wu Jie smiled, and was about to redouble his efforts to appease Xue Ci, but he felt a numbness in his neck, and he couldn't help feeling dizzy.

Before his eyes were about to close, he vaguely saw many people pouring into this not-so-big room——

Soldiers with live ammunition and professors in white coats.
