Chapter 1007 1009: Even More Explosive News

After Chen Bin took over the case, he immediately began assembling his team and established a task force.Among these people, quite a few had previously benefited from him due to the mole incident.

At the case analysis meeting, after listening to everyone's reports, Chen Bin immediately spoke up.

"Since the issue originated internally at the Thermodynamics Institute, we must have investigators enter to conduct an internal investigation. I decided to send Liang Xinchu in an undercover capacity to investigate the leak."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Liang Xinchu.

Among those present, Chen Bin considered Liang Xinchu the most outstanding.

At just thirty-five years old, he had served as Deputy Director of the Provincial Security Bureau's Investigation Department.

Reliable and meticulous, he was the perfect choice for the job.

Liang Xinchu was surprised to be personally named by Chen Bin.

In his view, being able to join the task force was lucky enough; he never expected to be so prioritized.

Once he regained his composure, he quickly stood up and expressed his stance.

"Thank you, Chief, for your trust. I promise to fulfill the task completely!"

After the meeting, Chen Bin asked Liang Xinchu to stay behind.

"You're from Tianhai?"

Liang Xinchu straightened his back and responded respectfully.

"Reporting to Chief, I'm from Tianhai!"

Seeing the other party somewhat nervous, Chen Bin reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"I am also from Tianhai; we're fellow countrymen. For this mission, give it your all. I believe with your abilities, there should be absolutely no problem."

"Thank you for your trust, Leader!"

The Thermodynamics Institute operates under a dual leadership system, with Zhao Rucheng as the Director and Song He as Secretary.

Under the arrangement of the Security Department, Liang Xinchu successfully entered the institute with the identity of Office Director.

Of course, only Song He knew about this arrangement.

After entering, Liang Xinchu filtered through all key departments and personnel but found nothing suspicious.

Even the institute's security measures showed no clear lapses.

Just as he was feeling perplexed, he suddenly received a call from the task force, asking him to attend a meeting urgently.

In the conference room, Chen Bin slammed a report on the table, visibly angry.

"Look at this. All of you, look at this! How have you been conducting your work? Why is there still information leaking?!"

Everyone quickly took the report and passed it around, their faces turning grim.

None of them had expected that even with the task force involved, information would still leak.

In such a blatant face-slapping scenario, Chen Bin couldn't possibly not be angry.

Within the Thermodynamics Institute, only five people knew the core secrets.

Apart from Secretary Song He and Director Zhao Rucheng, there were three engineers.

Even though the suspicion had previously been eliminated for all five, Chen Bin decided to delve deeper into the investigation.

Song He and the other three engineers showed no signs of doubt, but Zhao Rucheng's information was more complex.

His marriage was unfortunate; he had been married twice, with children from both marriages.

His eldest son, Zhao Yu, is thirty-six and is involved in foreign trade.

His younger daughter, Zhao Xiaoxiao, is only eighteen, currently a high school art student aspiring to attend the Imperial Capital Film Academy.

The last time Chen Bin saw Zhao Xiaoxiao arguing with Zhao Rucheng, she was indeed his daughter.

The reason for the argument was quite straightforward: Zhao Xiaoxiao believed Zhao Rucheng abandoned her mother, causing her to make some unreasonable demands.

Whenever Zhao Rucheng failed to fulfill these, a heated argument would ensue.

In reality, Zhao Rucheng did not abandon Zhao Xiaoxiao's mother; they divorced because Zhao Xiaoxiao's mother was involved with someone else.

Zhao Xiaoxiao was unaware of this, and with her mother having passed away, she refused to believe Zhao Rucheng.

Chen Bin asked, "Is Zhao Rucheng currently single?"

The task force's deputy leader, Zheng Junjie, replied, "Yes, ever since divorcing Zhao Xiaoxiao's mother, he has not remarried. However, upon investigation, he seems to be involved with the family's young maid."

"The young maid? Has she been screened?"

"No, I was just about to investigate."

"Get moving on it! At this stage, we can't overlook any potentially suspect individuals."

Zheng Junjie didn't hesitate, immediately organizing a team to investigate Zhao Rucheng's maid.

Ultimately, they discovered she truly might be a spy.

With just a bit of probing, the maid exposed her flaws.

After capturing her, she quickly confessed that she approached Zhao Rucheng to steal intelligence.

After receiving this information, Chen Bin showed no signs of joy.

He knew that with someone as crucial as Zhao Rucheng, any spy around him would be highly skilled.

A common spy like the maid could not possibly handle such work.

After some contemplation, Chen Bin suspected the enemy might have released her as a decoy to confuse him.

He then ordered a thorough security sweep of the Thermodynamics Institute using this opportunity.

Zhao Rucheng was unaware of the maid's capture and felt puzzled when he couldn't reach her.

However, his work responsibilities were pressing, leaving little time for him to ponder.

Upon arriving at the institute, he learned the reason for the maid's capture, and he appeared profoundly shocked.

Entering the Imperial Capital Aerospace University's Party Secretary's office, Zhao Rucheng seemed extremely ashamed upon seeing Chen Bin.

"Secretary Chen, I've been so foolish. I had a spy in my home and didn't even realize it. Let me resign; I really don't have the face to continue."

Chen Bin consoled him, saying, "Director Zhao, you can't be blamed for this. There are too many schemers; it's normal you didn't notice."

Zhao Rucheng at that moment was like a child who had made a mistake, hanging his head, unsure what to say.

Seeing this, Chen Bin had to continue speaking.

"Don't be too upset. Cooperate with the colleagues from the Security Department for an inspection, and there shouldn't be any problem."

Immediately thereafter, they went together to the Thermodynamics Institute.

However, the next news was even more staggering.

The institute's core samples were tampered with!

Zhao Rucheng was responsible for testing, and the core samples were always under his care.

The samples were usually stored in the lab's safe, with only Zhao Rucheng having a key.

Additionally, every time there was a test, the samples would be weighed after removal from the safe to verify their quantity.

This time, after inspection, the samples had decreased by five grams!

The maid incident already left Zhao Rucheng feeling deeply embarrassed.

Now, with the core samples compromised, he couldn't accept the reality and fainted.

After sending him to the hospital, Chen Bin received a special report from Liang Xinchu.

To enter the core area of the test site, one requires keys and fingerprint unlocking.

This basically rules out external personnel committing the act.

Chen Bin immediately asked, "Is Zhao Rucheng the only one who can access his laboratory?"
