Xu Jintang hummed in agreement. "Go to sleep, we'll continue tomorrow."
While Xu Jintang and his group infiltrated the pharmaceutical factory to investigate, Yu Wanyao and her group of five continued their challenge.
As their number of successful challenges increased, the topic of Leikedasi's challenge against the dojo became increasingly popular online.
Almost every day when I open my eyes, the trending topics on Star Network are filled with videos of Yu Wanyao's team of five challenging the dojo.
[The team that Leikedasi is challenging this year is pretty strong.]
[I've already challenged six military academies with a 100% win rate. This record is about to surpass last year's Clifford Military Academy record, hahaha.]
[It's estimated that Leikedasi is aiming to surpass them.]
Inside Alice Pharmaceutical Factory.
As dawn broke, employees got up one after another and entered the factory area to begin their work.
"All interns, assemble. We're starting roll call now." The supervisor in charge of each intern's group stood at the front, holding a list, and began calling out names.
" Song Yueyue."
The girl with the chestnut-brown short hair from yesterday immediately raised her hand and answered, "Here!"
Xu Jintang looked up and glanced at her.
Song Yueyue happened to be looking at her too, and greeted her with a smile and a wave as she walked over, "Good morning. How did you all sleep last night?"
Xu Jintang: "It's fine. How about you?"
"I'm fine with it, except the dorm beds are a bit hard, everything else is acceptable." Song Yueyue chatted with her, "By the way, did Chief Manager Wang call you five over yesterday? Was there some special treatment for you?"
Song Yueyue winked, revealing a gossipy expression.
"No, I just gave a few instructions about precautions for the pharmaceutical factory." Xu Jintang stopped there and didn't continue.
Song Yueyue, being perceptive, didn't press the matter further, only smiled and said, "Then I'll go get busy now, we'll chat again when we have time."
Xu Jintang only looked away after watching Song Yueyue turn and walk away.
Song Tianqi leaned closer and asked curiously, "This girl is so enthusiastic."
Xu Jintang glanced at him, "You've taken a liking to her?"
"Huh?" Song Tianqi froze, waving his hands frantically. "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't!"
Xue Zhongqi walked over, put his hand on Song Tianqi's shoulder, and teased, "So what if you've taken a liking to someone? How about I help you set us up, brother?"
Song Tianqi's face instantly turned purple with embarrassment, and he shoved Xue Zhongqi away, yelling, "Get out! Get out!"
"Once there are fewer people, we'll split up and continue. We need to speed things up today; we only have a week. Yesterday was already one day, so we have six days left," Jiang Shiyi said calmly as she walked over.
"Okay." Xu Jintang returned to seriousness, "Let's get to work."
Each intern was assigned a different task, and everyone quickly dispersed to get busy.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Xu Jintang and the others made their escape.
Having learned from yesterday's experience, Xu Jintang and Song Tianqi's investigation was much faster today. In less than an afternoon, the two of them had investigated the workshop operation area.
Time flies.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Jintang four companions hid themselves very well and did not attract the attention of anyone in the pharmaceutical factory.
Xu Jintang and the other four squatted in a separate rest room to review the game.
"Our investigation found that none of the supervisors had the opportunity to commit the crime. Two of them might have had the time, but both are members of a collateral branch of the Alice Family, and they don't seem to have any motive to frame the pharmaceutical company," Yan Yuting summarized their team's findings.
Xu Jintang: "Our investigation results are similar; almost no one is a suspect."
Yan Yuting frowned. "That's strange. Such a big pharmaceutical factory can't be haunted, can it?"
"There's another person who might be a suspect, but we haven't investigated them yet," Xue Zhongqi said suddenly, looking up as if remembering something.
"You mean Wang Xiaohong, right?" Jiang Shiyi looked over.
Xue Zhongqi was taken aback. "Hmm, you also suspect him?"
Xu Jintang: "On the first day at the pharmaceutical factory, Sister Shiyi and I wanted to investigate his private lounge, but our universal cards couldn't open the access card to his lounge."
Jiang Shiyi nodded, "We were afraid of causing any trouble, so we didn't continue."
Song Tianqi's eyes widened, his voice filled with shock, "Huh? But didn't Alice say that Wang Xiaohong was one of her own? One of her own people framing her boss?"
"It's not impossible," Xu Jintang said frankly, placing his hands behind his back.
Yan Yuting frowned and objected, "But it won't do Wang Xiaohong any good by doing this. Besides, he's been following Alice for over twenty years. If he were really an undercover agent for another force, how could he have remained hidden for so long?"
Xue Zhongqi nodded, "Yes, unless he has some fatal weakness that other forces have seized upon, threatening him to do this, then it makes sense."
Xu Jintang felt that something was off.
But after eliminating all the impossibilities, what remains must be the truth.
She stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "It's settled then. I'll go tell Alice."
The others exchanged glances, probably also feeling that the investigation had gone too smoothly, which was rather strange.
"What if we guessed wrong?" Yan Yuting asked.
Xue Zhongqi shook his head. "None of the other supervisors are suspects, leaving only Wang Xiaohong. It can only be him, otherwise it really would be a ghost story."
Jiang Shiyi asked calmly, "Besides employees at the supervisor level or above who have the ability to switch substandard drugs, are there any other people who do?"
Xue Zhongqi pondered for a moment, "The workers who moved the medicines into the warehouse?"
Xu Jintang directly rejected this possibility. "The entire process of moving the medicine into the warehouse was supervised; it's impossible for the medicine to be switched at this stage."
After brainstorming for nearly half an hour, no other conclusions were reached. In the end, the only conclusion they could reach was that Wang Xiaohong was the culprit who switched the medicines.
"Warning! Warning! Unauthorized personnel are intruding into the core workshop operating area."
"Warning! Warning..."
A sharp alarm suddenly sounded, and warning red lights in every area of the pharmaceutical factory began flashing wildly.
The five people, Xu Jintang were squatting in the rest room reviewing the game, were startled and looked up and scattered.
"What's going on?" Song Tianqi rushed to the door, opened it, and saw that the outside was in complete chaos. The pharmaceutical factory's security personnel rushed in menacingly and began indiscriminately arresting people.
The pharmaceutical factory employees, unaware of the situation, ran around in panic, fearing they might accidentally get caught in the crossfire.
"What are you five doing huddled together! Take them all away!" The security captain suddenly spotted Xu Jintang and his group of five in the break room, pointing his weapon at them.
At his command, the security guards behind him immediately rushed over and surrounded Xu Jintang and his group of five.
Xue Zhongqi snapped out of his daze and quickly explained with a smile, "You've misunderstood. We're interns, just taking a break here."
The security captain sneered, completely ignoring his words, and ordered, "Take them all away!"
The security personnel hired by the pharmaceutical company are at least at the Fifth Tier in terms of skill.
With so many people around, Xu Jintang and his group of five had no chance of escaping. They had no choice but to surrender and be taken away by security personnel.
The alarm sounded for more than ten minutes before stopping.
Following this incident, security personnel arrested over a hundred suspicious individuals for questioning.
Xu Jintang was also innocently made a suspect.
"No, what exactly happened at this pharmaceutical factory? Why were so many people suddenly arrested?"
"It seems that an unfamiliar person infiltrated the area and was detected by the system."
"Are they trying to steal the formula for making the medicine?"
"Shh... I'll tell you, actually some members of the Reform Society have infiltrated. When I was brought here just now, I overheard those security guards muttering something about the Reform Society."
"Good heavens, the Reform Society?! It's them again."
Xu Jintang heard the conversation of the people next to him.
She frowned slightly. Why was it the Reform Society again?
This gang has been operating a bit too frequently lately.
She pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then glanced up at the security personnel watching over them.
The two security guards were having a serious conversation and didn't notice her.
Xu Jintang licked his lips, quickly turned around, and rushed into the workshop.
Someone ran away!
A shout suddenly rang out from the crowd, startling the security personnel, who quickly turned around and chased after the shouter.
After dodging several times, Xu Jintang shook off his pursuers and ran directly towards the warehouse area.
She had a feeling that the sudden arrival of the Reform Society members at the pharmaceutical factory was likely related to the issue of replacing substandard drugs.
Xu Jintang arrived quickly; many security personnel hadn't even had time to search the warehouse area yet.
She swiped the universal access card and entered warehouse area one.
All the warehouses here are connected. She quickly scanned Zone 1, and after not finding anyone, she continued to Zone 2, then Zone 3 and Zone 4.
By the time they found District 5, the pharmaceutical company's security personnel had already caught up with them.
"This warehouse area hasn't been searched yet. Everyone, surround it and take away any suspicious persons immediately!"
Xu Jintang slowed his pace and silently continued walking to the next area.
"Who?"
A familiar voice came from the other side.
Xu Jintang immediately turned to look.
Song Yueyue was hiding nervously in the opposite corridor. "Sis? It's you. What are you doing here? I was startled by the alarm and ran here in a panic."
Xu Jintang stared at her without saying a word.
Song Yueyue continued, "Do you know what happened? It seems like the security personnel are searching us. Are we going to be mistaken for suspicious individuals?"
Xu Jintang licked his dry lips. "Weren't you supposed to be on duty in the workshop area? How did you end up in the warehouse area?"
