There really couldn't have been a worse situation.
The three people in the room, including Lei Xue, all looked utterly grim.
Just when someone had finally made up her mind to give up everything and do something for her ideals, the administrator of the original base had returned.
All three of them knew exactly what that meant.
Lei Xue had certainly come prepared to come here. In other words, the stolen intelligence should have been backed up. Once she did this, Guo Xiaoyun would naturally discover it after returning to the base.
Being discovered would have been bad enough, but the intelligence hadn't even been successfully stolen, and Lei Xue had been sacrificed as well. That would truly have been a huge loss.
Lei Xue also wore a bitter smile. She even began to wonder whether this was a trap deliberately set by Senior Yu Nv.
Otherwise, how could it have happened so coincidentally? She had only just made her decision, and Senior Yu Nv had returned?
Lei Xue sighed and used her Mental Strength to inspect the backup data. After discovering that it hadn't been damaged, she relaxed slightly and handed it directly to Old Man Li. "I won't say more. I've organized all the useful intelligence in this backup. Old Man Li, try to see if you can take it back. Though the chances probably aren't high."
Old Man Li silently accepted the backup, his feelings complicated.
The data was right before his eyes, and this girl from the Lei family had paid an enormous price. But if this data couldn't be taken back, what meaning would any of this have? Yet Guo Xiaoyun's return basically meant that there was a high chance the data couldn't be taken back.
The atmosphere in the living room instantly grew stifling!
