Chapter 839: Do You Think of Us As Blind Men?

“Gasp!”
All the engineers had ashen complexions and they gasped at the same time.
“What’s the matter?” Mr. Tang asked.
“There’s a virus in Moonlight’s program. Everything in here is destroyed.”
The moment someone said that, there was a huge change in the expressions of both directions.
!!
Deputy Director Huang anxiously asked, “Why did it get infected with a virus? The protection system in our base is top notch and how could a virus possibly infiltrate into here?”
“It might not necessarily be a virus implanted by an outsider.” Zi Yi looked at him and said, “Clearly, someone inside the base had planted the virus.”
Deputy Director Huang’s expression turned even more serious. “Since that’s the case, immediately begin investigations!”
Having said that, he turned to Mr. Tang.
Mr. Tang said to Director Zheng, “Immediately send someone to bring out the surveillance for the past two days.”
Director Zheng nodded his head and quickly called the monitoring room. “Check the surveillance of the S-Cla.s.s robot laboratory and transfer the visual over.”
Soon, an image of the surveillance was transferred to one of the monitors here and everyone stared at it.
The video started to play back quickly starting from the morning of yesterday.
When the image of Zi Yi controlling the control panel was seen, Deputy Director Huang suddenly asked, “Little Zi, what are you doing here?”
“Zi Yi thought of an idea to improve Moonlight’s concealment function yesterday and she’s currently inputting the codes.”
The moment Engineer Meng finished explaining, Deputy Director Huang’s expression turned stern as he said, “I’m not trying to suspect Little Zi on purpose, but ever since Moonlight was created, there hasn’t been such a huge riot that happened. Why did something like this happen right after Zi Yi made changes to the program?”
His words clearly meant that he was suspicious of Zi Yi.
The engineers turned to look at Zi Yi and their expressions also changed slightly.
A sneer curved up on Zi Yi’s lips.
She was not in a hurry to explain. She looked at Mr. Tang and said, “We have yet to finish watching the video of yesterday’s surveillance.”
Deputy Director Huang said, “In that case, let’s continue and watch. However, if it’s because of the new codes Zi Yi entered which ruined Moonlight, I hope that Mr. Tang would handle this matter impartially. Otherwise, it’ll be letting down half a year’s worth of hard work by these engineers.”
Deputy Director Huang spoke as though he was a sword of justice and this caused the other engineers to look at Zi Yi in an even more doubtful manner.
Mr. Tang and Zi Yi made eye contact for two seconds and he nodded his head. “Let’s keep watching.”
The video continued playing and soon, it was nighttime.
Just then, Zi Yi tilted her head and glanced at Deputy Director Huang.
He had a serious expression as he stared at the screen.
However, when Engineer Yang returned to the laboratory after 11 o’clock in the evening, his pupils shrank and he quickly recomposed himself as he sternly asked Engineer Yang, “Why did you come back to the lab at this time?”
“I…” Engineer Yang suddenly furrowed his brows. He had forgotten why he returned to the lab last night.
When Engineer Yang got anxious, cold sweat trickled down his face.
Deputy Director Huang’s expression looked fiercer than before. “What did you do to Moonlight?”
“I didn’t do anything.” Engineer Yang subconsciously retorted.
Deputy Director Huang snorted coldly and continued looking at the video as he said in a heavy voice, “You had been standing next to Moonlight’s control panel for so long and clearly, you’ve entered tons of programs. The evidence is conclusive and yet you’re denying what you did?”
Following that, he turned to look at Mr. Tang. “Mr. Tang, now it’s confirmed that Engineer Yang did something to Moonlight, how should we deal with him?”
When Engineer Yang heard that they were going to deal with him, his legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground. He quickly stabilized himself and argued back loudly. “I really didn’t do anything tMoonlight…”
“Do you think of us as blind men?!” Deputy Director Huang shouted back.
“I-”
“Hmph! I think it’s because the truth has been exposed and you’re still trying to argue your way out.”
Deputy Director Huang turned to Mr. Tang and said, “Mr. Tang, hand this man over to me to interrogate. I feel that he must have other accomplices too.”
“There are indeed other accomplices.” Just then, Zi Yi suddenly chuckled.
Her laughter was inappropriate for the current situation and Deputy Director Huang’s heart clenched tightly. However, he did not reveal anything and merely glanced in Zi Yi’s direction for a second before turning back to Mr. Tang.
Mr. Tang looked at the ashen-faced Engineer Yang and asked, “Why were you here last night?”
“I…” Engineer Yang wanted to tell them the reason, but his mind was in chaos and he could not recall anything.
Just then, Zi Yi walked to Engineer Yang and said as she walked, “It’s possible that Engineer Yang had been drugged last night. I have a method that can make him remember what happened last night real quick and we can give it a try.”
The moment Deputy Director Huang heard what Zi Yi said, his fingers next to his side bent and he subconsciously followed her.
“Little Zi, what do you intend to do? I’ll help you control Engineer Yang.”
When Engineer Yang heard that they were going to control him, his body trembled and he subconsciously tried to run.
Deputy Director Huang quickly dashed over.
Looking at them where one was escaping and one was giving chase, the other engineers were dumbfounded.
Just then, Mr. Tang said to Director Zheng, “Stop Deputy Director Huang.”
Director Zheng nodded and chased after him.
Engineer Yang was very familiar with this place as he dodged and evaded Deputy Director Huang. Even after some time had pa.s.sed, Deputy Director Huang was still unable to catch up with him.
It seems like Deputy Director Huang started to get anxious. He suddenly picked up a sharp iron bar from the side and jumped up as he tried hitting Engineer Yang.
Seeing that the iron bar was about to hit the back of Engineer Yang’s head, a hand quickly stretched out from the side and stopped him.
While Director Zheng was running toward Deputy Director Huang to stop him, Zi Yi walked to the control console in the hall and quickly pressed a few b.u.t.tons.
At the same time when Director Zheng stopped Deputy Director Huang, two robots managed to catch Engineer Yang.
“Old Zheng, what are you doing?”
“Ahh… let go of me. It’s not me!”
Deputy Director Huang and Engineer Yang shouted at the same time.
Director Zheng grabbed Deputy Director Huang’s wrist and said, “Mr. Tang told me to stop you.”
Deputy Director Huang suddenly turned to look at Mr. Tang.
Mr. Tang had a stern expression on his face right now. His eyes seemed to contain a penetrating sharpness and there was a surge of an ominous feeling.
Mr. Tang said to Zi Yi, “Little Zi, get rid of the hallucinogens in Engineer Yang.”
“Ok.”
Zi Yi headed towards Engineer Yang.
Deputy Director Huang stared at Zi Yi as his heartbeat quickened.
However, he could not move right now. Otherwise, he’ll be a goner.
Zi Yi walked to Engineer Yang who was struggling to escape from the robot’s grasp and said, “You’re being controlled. You better stop struggling otherwise it’ll worsen your crime.”
Engineer Yang immediately stopped struggling. He looked at Zi Yi with fear and helplessness in his eyes. “Zi Yi, I didn’t touch Moonlight. Please help me.”
He subconsciously felt that since Zi Yi was someone Mr. Tang brought into this team, she would definitely be able to speak up on his behalf in front of Mr. Tang.
Zi Yi did not answer him. A silver needle flashed from her fingertips and Engineer Yang felt something connecting in his head. In the next second, he shouted, “I came to the lab yesterday because Team Leader Li wanted to see me work.”
Deputy Director Huang’s eyes flashed and he asked in surprise, “You came here just because Team Leader Li told you to come. Could it be that it was also Team Leader Li who told you to touch Moonlight?”
Engineer Yang felt confused again. “She didn’t.”
Deputy Director Huang felt at ease and snorted coldly. “In that case, you were still the one who decided to touch Moonlight on your own accord, right?”
