Five days later, at the Institute of Botany, Jiang Yue and several graduate students in the same group made the decision to take the risk of taking two plants out of the institute. Of course, they made detailed arrangements. After all, this was suspected of stealing state secrets. Once caught, the consequences could be life in prison.
But they knew very well that once they left the institute, the two plants would face no one to take care of them, and eventually they would even be thrown into the trash can. No one would care how much money was spent on this project, and they would eventually be abandoned, so they They decided to take the risk. Moreover, they had studied the information of Oriental International these days and knew that this company was cooperating with the Dongning Municipal Government, so this became one of their reasons for taking the risk. At least they were not betraying national interests.
The plan was very thorough. Jiang Yue could not enter the institute because she dictated her suspension of study letter to Director Min. However, she still arranged a car and waited for her companions outside the institute. Yoshiko Kawashima would act as an internal agent and secretly He took out the two plants one after another without any damage.
One of the graduate students was responsible for placing two other identical plants in the hotbed and staying at the institute to hide them from others.
Although the consequences of doing so were very serious, they still held great hope. After all, even if the two plants withered in the future, no one would care, so everything was perfect.
Under the scorching sun, Jiang Yue waited anxiously outside the Institute of Botany, looking at her watch from time to time. For this operation, they specially pooled their money to rent a car, and another graduate student who could drive became her driver.
She looked at her watch from time to time. Both of them were nervous and sweating profusely. Even if there was air conditioning in the car, it still could not ease the atmosphere. They were both experts in research, but doing something similar to a thief was definitely not the first choice. At this time, anyone would be nervous.
About half an hour later, Kawashima Yoshiko finally sneaked out. When she walked out of the car, she was also sweating profusely. After she got in the car, she carefully took out the plant, but her hands were shaking, and her mouth was Said: "Fortunately, this is a plant sample that has adapted to many environments."
"Minghui, hurry up and put the plants in the hotbed in the trunk." Jiang Yue said quickly.
So, the graduate student named Minghui immediately took the plant, walked out of the car, opened the trunk, and started tinkering. A few minutes later, he sat in the driver's seat sweating profusely and said, "Okay, let's take the hotbed in the trunk. It should be able to last for a while, as long as nothing happens, the plants won’t wither so easily.”
This sentence seemed to want the two girls to calm down, but in fact, what they were worried about was not the withering of the plants, but the possibility of being caught. After all, these two plants were the only ones left among ten thousand. The simulation of this environment has extremely strong vitality.
"Then...I will go back to the research institute now, and you should bring the plants back as soon as possible." Kawashima Yoshiko said.
"Don't be in a hurry. If you go back now, you will definitely make the guards suspicious. Yoshiko, please go out for a walk for ten minutes." Jiang Yue said cautiously.
"Okay." Kawashima Yoshiko got out of the car, and Jiang Yue and Minghui drove quickly away from the research institute.
About two hours later, Jiang Yue rushed back again. This time it was also very smooth. Yoshiko Kawashima was already waiting at the door. Nothing happened. Everything was as smooth and simple as they planned.
After getting the second plant, Jiang Yue and the others quickly drove away from the Institute of Botany. Because of the uneasiness in their hearts, Minghui drove even a little too fast. Although the plan had been successful, the feeling after being a thief was filled with endless excitement. worry.
"Xiaoyang is working as an internal agent at the Institute of Botany, and she shouldn't be discovered." Kawashima Yoshiko comforted her.
"Yes, as long as we follow the plan, there will be no problem." Jiang Yue also said.
So they went smoothly to Kawashima Yoshiko's home in Beijing. Because Kawashima Yoshiko's parents were also engaged in research and were also at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Sciences allocated a house, and her home also had corresponding hotbed equipment, so she put the plants there. Here is the best choice.
But they didn't know that when Yoshiko Kawashima took away the second plant, Xie Jinglong and Director Min came to the greenhouse. Xiaoyang was taking care of the plants, but he was not nervous at all, especially when he saw Xie Jinglong and Director Min. , not even a little bit panicked.
"Did they take the samples?" Xie Jinglong asked.
"Took it away and went to the residence of Kawashima Yoshiko's parents, where there is equipment to cultivate samples." Xiao Yang said, his tone was a little unnatural.
Hearing this, Director Min smiled and said: "You are here to eliminate harm for the country. None of these national thieves who stole national secrets can escape."
"But... didn't you promise me not to call the police?" Xiao Yang looked surprised. Although he betrayed Jiang Yue and the others, there were conditions.
"It depends on whether Jiang Yue recognizes him or not." Xie Jinglong patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Director Min will definitely accomplish what he promised you."
"From now on, you are an official researcher in the institute, and your qualification certificate is no longer a master's degree, but a doctorate." Director Min said calmly.
Hearing this, Xiaoyang asked in a low voice: "Is it true that nothing will happen to them? And, is Oriental International really a spy company?"
"Do you think I, the director of the System Center of an institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, will lie to you?" Director Min said coldly, "Even if Oriental International is not a spy company, stealing secrets from a research institute affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not stealing the country. Is it confidential? Young man, your political stance must be firm, and everything must be considered from the perspective of the country, not just the individual."
Although Xiaoyang knew very well that Director Min was not doing it for the so-called national interests, but for private interests, but he betrayed his friends and was seeking personal interests. He no longer had any reason to accuse Director Min, at least he He is indeed the director of the system center, and there is nothing wrong with him doing this.
In the office of the director of the system center, Xie Jinglong and Director Min were sitting opposite each other. Xie Jinglong said, "Should we take action right away? I can't wait to see Jiang Yue's expression as she begs me."
"There's no rush." Director Min shook his head, and then said, "To ensure everything is safe, we must get both the person and the person with the stolen goods. It's easy for you to get Jiang Yue's body."
"Wouldn't it be solved now if we call the police to arrest them?" Xie Jinglong asked, "There are many dreams in the night. If they move things, isn't this..."
"Call the police?" Director Min interrupted, "If we call the police, this matter will be made public. Then even if you have money and I have the ability, it will be impossible to get Jiang Yue back from the police, oh... No, it should have been obtained from the Ministry of National Security. Stealing things from the research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not a simple theft, but the theft of state secrets."
"Is it that serious?" Xie Jinglong didn't believe it.
"Of course, although the Institute of Botany is not a core department under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is still a state secret. Therefore, once the police are called, it will not be handled by the Public Security Bureau, but by the supervision department under the Ministry of State Security. Jiang Yue and others will definitely be investigated. The Ministry of National Security took him away, do you think you could use money to bribe people from the Ministry of National Security to get them to close the case?" Director Min asked rhetorically.
"I don't care anyway, all I need is Jiang Yue to beg me." Xie Jinglong said ruthlessly.
Director Min nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will handle this matter. I promise to hand over Jiang Yue to you, but we can't call the police."
"Okay." Xie Jinglong nodded and left the office happily.
But he didn't know that after he left, Director Min's expression suddenly changed and he said to himself: "Young man, do you really think that having money can solve everything? This world is not what you imagine, ignorant idiot. "
As he said that, he picked up the phone in the office, but suddenly he realized something. He put down the phone, picked up his personal mobile phone, and dialed a number. A few seconds later, a voice came from the mobile phone: "Dialing this number means you There is important information to provide. If not, Kangaroo, you know the consequences."
"I know, Lion." Director Min smiled.
"Tell me about your information." The other end of the phone asked.
Therefore, Director Min said: "Two plant evolution samples in our institute have been stolen by a graduate student named Yoshiko Kawashima. Now the samples of these two plants are placed in her parents' home in Beijing. I don't know this information. Is it valuable?”
"Well, are the samples of these two plants the last two of the ten thousand plants?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little excited.
"Yes, the two plants you have always wanted, and the two plants that mutated at the end, have been stolen without any effort. You just need to send someone to get them." Director Min said calmly.
"Based on the value of the plant, you will receive due compensation, Kangaroo." A voice came from the other end of the phone, "However, you have to be careful, those agents from your Ministry of National Security are not easy to deal with."
"Don't worry, since I dare to call you, I have made all preparations. Naturally, someone will be the scapegoat, and you will not be exposed." Director Min said, "But..."
"But what?" asked the other end of the phone.
"The person involved in my scapegoat is already in contact with Oriental International, so if you want to get these two plant samples, you have to get there before him." Director Min reminded.
"What, Oriental International again?" The other end of the phone looked very surprised. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Don't worry, I will report it to the headquarters and let them handle this matter."
"Then when will my money arrive?" Director Min looked concerned.
"As long as your information matches what you said, the money will arrive soon. We are not short of money." After the other end of the phone finished speaking, he hung up.
Director Min put down the phone, but he was a little excited. To him, these are two worthless plants, but to some forces, these two plant samples are almost priceless. If it were not for the Ministry of National Security, They probably sent people to steal it long ago...
