Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered

They headed down. After walking for a while, they could no longer see the entrance.

Then, they saw a door.

It wasn’t decorated, but a button was next to it.

Cheng Jin solemnly bowed in front of a box before carefully taking out a notepad from it. It was really old, and the pages were already oxidized. He handed it to He Jinxin and said, “What you want to know is inside.”

She wasn’t sure, but it was hard for He Jinxin to hold the notebook.

She only opened it after a while.

It seemed to belong to the base. There was a formula at the beginning.

Then, she saw writing—

[I’m Ning’er, one of the researchers in the first research institute. In the year P7, the institute discovered signs of extraterrestrial life. I was in charge of leading the other researchers. We have tested everything from nuclear to mechanical properties.

[We have discovered that v7 contained elements with lethal radioactive properties. This extraterrestrial civilization will cause great destruction. Hence, I stopped the study and got out of the capital with the help of the Qin family head and General He.

[Now, I’m deployed at the comet site where we created Ninghai Town base. Hopefully, our efforts will be effective.

[I’ve absorbed too much radiation and don’t have long to live. If I cannot spend the rest of my days in the physics laboratory, then allow me to stop this disaster with everyone at this base.

[I hope that our country and our people remain strong and prosperous as well.]

He Jinxin stopped, shocked by what she read.

She then continued reading. There were other notes written.

[I’m Qin Weixian. We were in charge of sending Mr. Ning out of the capital. My wife came in contact with v7 and died because of it. I’ve requested to stay with Mr. Ning. When I die, please bury me with my wife.]

[I’m Song Wenqing, one of the researchers. I’ve volunteered to join Ninghai Town Base along with Mr. Ning.]

[I’m Yao Xu from the fifth district. I’ve volunteered to join Ninghai Town Base with Mr. Ning.]

…

[I’m He Yongkang, I will try my best to protect you guys.

[Mr. Ning’er asked me to seal the base. They will perfect the system before the oxygen runs out.

[The rebels found out about this base. The base’s system is turned off, and I’ve set off the explosives.

[I pray that your efforts won’t go to waste.]

The last page was newly written—

[To Mr. Ning’er, Mr. Qin Weixian, Mr. Song Wenqin, Mr. Yao Xu, and Mr. He Yongkang:

[I’m Cheng Juan from the first district, and this is my report:

[The v7 projects are completed. We have arrested all the rebels. The radiation never spread, and the big three research institutes are now in Continent M. Ninghai Town Base is now regarded as a top priority location.

[We thank you for your selfless contributions. They will be recorded in our history books.

[May our country and people remain strong and prosperous.

[Regards.

[My highest respect.]

…

He Jinxin caused a big stir in the Investigation Bureau.

But no one would have expected that she would be released in a week. She even returned to her position the next day.

It spread everywhere.

Even the He family knew about it.

Grandma He made a swift recovery because of He Jinxin’s return and the help of the doctors.

She was discharged on the third day. Madam Guan and the uncle’s wife supported the He family and came to congratulate her. The other relatives that didn’t help them didn’t dare to come.

“It must be because Jinxin’s subordinates had great connections.” Madam Guan didn’t know what had happened and said, “Guan Chi’s father was impressed with Jinxin’s abilities.”

If her son had loved He Jinxin, she wouldn’t have to back out of the marriage under the Qu family’s requests.

Grandma He didn’t correct her, but the uncle’s wife spoke. “Madam Guan, that’s where you’re wrong. It wasn’t because of Jinxin.”

Madam was shocked and asked, “It wasn’t because of Jinxin?”

He Chen’s uncle’s wife answered, “That’s right. It was because of He Chen. She has powerful friends, and one of them is from the Cheng family…”
