Zhang Tao stood there and cursed a few words, then turned and left.
After returning to the dormitory, Xu Wanning discovered that there was a ball of paper in the pocket of her jacket.
She unfolded the note and looked at it. There were only four words scrawled on it.
Be careful with Chen Li.
Xu Wanning recalled carefully that among the people she contacted today, only Zhang Tao had the opportunity to slip this note to her.
Zhang Tao probably did it deliberately when he bumped into her just now, just to give her this note.
Xu Wanning read the note over and over again, but there were still only these four small words on it, beware of Chen Li.
Because the laboratory was blocked a few days ago, Xu Wanning was a little more wary of Chen Liben.
But she didn't trust Zhang Tao, so she just read the warning on this note.
In the afternoon, after Xu Wanning had dinner in the cafeteria, she was stopped by Chen Li.
"Comrade Xu, there was a call from the hospital just now. I thought it was almost time for dinner, so I didn't go to the dormitory to look for you. Now, if you are okay, go to my office so I can answer the phone call."
"Thank you, Director Chen. I'll be there right away."
Xu Wanning and Chen Li arrived at the office together.
"Comrade Xu, please answer the phone yourself. I'll make you a cup of tea."
"good."
Xu Wanning called back. After a few rings, the phone was picked up.
"Aning?"
"Comrade Lin, it's me. How is the teacher doing now?"
"Teacher Yuan has woken up. I asked him to talk to you."
Soon, the receiver was given to Mr. Yuan.
After two deep coughs, Mr. Yuan's voice came through the receiver, "Aning, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."
"Teacher..." Xu Wanning, who had been pushing herself to be strong, couldn't control her emotions for a moment when she heard Mr. Yuan's familiar voice. Tears fell from her eyes, and her voice was a little choked: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine now. I'll be able to return to the base in just a day or two."
"Teacher, please stay in the hospital for a few more days and take good care of yourself. You don't have to worry about the base."
Mr. Yuan responded and gave the receiver to Lin Maoqing: "A Ning may have discovered something, please talk to her."
Because Chen Li was also in the office, even though he had been making tea with his back to Xu Wanning, Xu Wanning still couldn't speak too frankly in front of him, so she could only reveal the information to Lin Maoqing by playing riddles.
"I understand. I plan to go back to the base today. Teacher Yuan's family is taking care of him. I'm not needed for the time being. I'll go back and help you."
"Okay. That's okay. I'll hang up now. The phone bill is very expensive."
As soon as Xu Wanning put down the receiver, Chen Li came over with a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.
"Comrade Xu, come and have a drink of water."
"Thank you, Director Chen."
Xu Wanning held the water cup, put it to her mouth, and gently blew the tea leaves on it.
The moment the tip of her nose came close to the water glass, Xu Wanning, who has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, immediately noticed that something was wrong with the tea.
Although the smell of tea was very strong and covered up most of the smell, Xu Wanning still smelled that something else had been added to the tea. But she couldn't tell for the time being what Chen Li had added.
"I heard you calling just now. How is Mr. Yuan doing now?"
Xu Wanning pretended to take a sip of tea, but by covering it with her hands, she transferred the tea into the space.
She responded calmly: "Comrade Lin Maoqing said that the teacher's body has almost recovered and he will be able to return to the base tomorrow at the latest."
Xu Wanning noticed that Chen Li's expression visibly stiffened after hearing these words, "So fast?"
"Director Chen thinks the teacher recovered too quickly?"
"No, no, no." Chen Li waved his hands repeatedly and denied: "Of course I hope Mr. Yuan can recover as soon as possible. I just think that Mr. Yuan is old after all, and now he suddenly fainted, he needs to recuperate. Anyway, we The base can proceed normally, so it’s better to let him rest for a while before coming back to the base.”
"Director Chen's meaning, I will convey it to the teacher."
Xu Wanning put the water glass on the table, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Goodbye, Director Chen."
After coming out of Chen Li's office, Xu Wanning went straight back to the dormitory.
She sat at the table, took out a small listening device, and put the headphones on her ears.
When she was on the phone just now, while Chen Li was making tea with his back to her, she secretly stuck the other end of the bug under the table. As long as she didn't clean it, it would be difficult to find.
This kind of eavesdropping device was bought by Xu Wanning in his previous life. It is the latest model on the market. It is concealed but has a wide range of signal reception.
Xu Wanning had just put on the headphones for a while when she heard movement.
She hurriedly took out a blank notebook and prepared to record it.
The door of the office was pushed open from the outside, and a sharp female voice asked Chen Li loudly.
"Why don't you do what I asked you to do?"
"Xu Wanning had a phone call with Mr. Yuan just now. Mr. Yuan will be back tomorrow at the latest. We better not take risks. Once discovered, we will not be able to gain a foothold in the test base!"
"Mr. Yuan will be back tomorrow? Why so soon?" It was Qian Fengying's voice, and Xu Wanning heard it very clearly.
Chen Li sighed heavily and said helplessly: "I thought it would take half a month for Mr. Yuan to come back no matter what. Who would have thought that it wouldn't even be a week. Let's forget it this time and wait until next time to find someone." right opportunity……"
"What the heck! You have been at the test base for so many years, and you don't know how rare this opportunity is! If you missed it this time, you don't know when you will have to wait, and we have no time to wait any longer. Tonight , Just tonight, Xu Wanning must explain everything tonight!"
There was still a heavy sigh.
"When I made tea for Xu Wanning just now, I added some antiperspirant medicine to her tea. It was a small amount. It will take an hour or two to take effect. By then, it will be almost dark. You are very close to her dormitory. When the time comes, take the opportunity to enter her dormitory and see if you can get any useful information."
"Hopefully I can get something really useful this time."
The conversation stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of doors opening and closing, and footsteps fading away.
Xu Wanning listened for a while and took off the earphones after making sure that no more sound would be heard.
Through the brief conversation just now, she learned three pieces of information.
First, Chen Li gave her the sweat medicine. At around eight o'clock, she had to pretend to be comatose to create opportunities for Chen Li and Qian Fengying.
