He had tried again and again to rule out her involvement, yet everything seemed connected to her.
And when she faced them, she was candid and fearless, surprising them time and again with what she said!
She even steered their investigation, as though afraid she would fail to arouse their suspicions!
Her behavior was an enigma!
Gu Zheng turned to Yang Qi. "Go see how Director Li and the others are getting on!"
After Yang Qi left, Gu Zheng solemnly placed an encrypted call. When he heard the challenge code through the receiver, he smoothly gave the countersign.
Then he asked, "Comrade 016, is everything progressing smoothly?"
The person on the other end replied, "We've made a breakthrough and are now at a critical stage. The other side is stirring. We hope Comrade 009 will continue to support us!"
"009 understood!"
After hanging up, Gu Zheng sank into thought again.
Song Ning was no fool.
On the contrary, she was perceptive.
She had never treated Gu Zheng and the others as outsiders, nor had she ever concealed her abilities from them.
That made their current attitude rather suspicious.
Why had they never questioned her?
About her medical skills? Her English? Or even her knowledge of the industry?
Song Ning knew it would be reasonable for them to have doubts.
But it was strange that they never asked.
She had already prepared her explanations, after all.
Still, their identities were unusual, and they were in the middle of an investigation.
For now, she assumed that perhaps her affairs were unimportant and they simply had no time to spare for her.
Song Ning decided to go out as little as possible from then on and minimize her contact with them.
She would stay out of their case and concentrate on her revision.
